"My biggest wish is to have a better life." Xu Qian thought for a while and said truthfully, "I have been on the first floor, although I have always wanted to forget those days, but it turns out that it is my deepest memory, every night there I will swear in my heart that if I leave there one day, I will never go back." ”

"So you haven't been back since you left there, haven't you?" Zhang Heng asked.

"yes, what's wrong with that?" Xu Qian asked, after a pause, she continued, "I've come so far, all the way here, now as long as there is one more step, the last step I can realize my dream, I know what you think of me, a female anchor who loves vanity, I don't deny this, but it is really important for me to be a resident of the fourth layer, not to mention that my boyfriend is also very good, he will be a qualified life partner." ”

Zhang Heng was noncommittal when he heard this, but said, "It's not early, go to bed early, we have to go out tomorrow." ”

Xu Qian nodded, staggered up from the ground, and while she asked the housekeeping robot to clean up the uneaten snacks on the ground, she said to Zhang Heng, "If you have physiological needs, I can spend money to find them for you...... Professionals will deal with it, I just hope you don't hurt me for the sake of us getting along fairly well during this time. ”

"Oh, you're thinking too much," Zhang Heng said, "I'm your bodyguard, isn't our contract still over?" ”

"yes, anyway, hmm...... Thank you for helping me find out who was following me at the mall. Xu Qian hugged her arms and walked back to the bedroom door, "Also, that ...... Good night. ”

"Good dreams."

When Xu Qian returned to the bedroom and closed the door, Zhang Heng did not lie down to rest immediately, but came to the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, and detected that someone was standing here, and the automatic curtains slowly opened to both sides.

The night view outside the window is revealed.

Xu Qian's apartment is located close to the city center, and you can see a small half of the three-story space from here.

Zhang Heng's feet are now colorful street lamps and electronic billboards, although it is late at night, but there are still a lot of shuttle vehicles on the street, suspended light rail from under the circular track, on both sides of it are a variety of futuristic office buildings, half of which are still lit.

A group of elite white-collar workers had just solved the problems encountered in the project, and walked out of the office building with a smile, although their faces were still tired, but more excited, they did not go home to sleep, but met to have a supper to celebrate.

Although Xu Qian has always laughed at herself for being just a vain little anchor, as long as she compares this place with the first floor, it is clear why she wants to climb up so much.

Compared with a bleak, crowded and chaotic layer, this place is indeed full of vigorous vitality, in addition to the gap in education, living environment, consumption level, the most important thing is that everyone here is full of confidence in the future.

Convenient and trendy technology, rows of department stores, clean and tidy streets, and beautiful night skies, even the most demanding critics have to admit that this may be the ideal future for mankind.

And this is only the third floor of New Shanghai 0297, there are more fantastic and beautiful fourth and fifth floors on it.

Zhang Heng finally took a look at the huge shuttle track that runs through the sky in the center of the city, it is like the Tower of Babel described in the Old Testament, connecting the earth and heaven.

After that, Zhang Heng turned off the light in the room and said to the hamster on the table, "Good night." ”

…………

Although she got Zhang Heng's promise that she would not hurt her, Xu Qian was still a little nervous the next morning, especially when she was having breakfast, she asked a few times, but Zhang Heng didn't tell her where the two of them were going to go later.

So Xu Qian's heart couldn't help but be apprehensive, until the two came to the station after breakfast, Xu Qian saw the electronic ticket bought by Zhang Heng and realized where the next destination of the two was.

"One floor space?" Xu Qian had a look of disbelief, "I said it, I'll never go back there." ”

"Take it easy, I'm not letting you settle there, just treat it as a short trip." Zhang Hengdao.

"But I don't want to travel there because it reminds me of my life there."

"I don't remember who said that when we want to understand the present, sometimes we need to face the past." Zhang Heng said, "Anyway, I have already bought a ticket, as long as you go with me once, I won't trouble you again in the future." ”

Xu Qian's expression looked a little tangled, because a series of things that happened there made her very resistant to returning to the first floor, and the security situation on the first floor itself was not good, if Zhang Heng wanted to do anything to her there, it would become easier.

But if Xu Qian screams now and asks the guards at the station for help, then although she can get out of trouble immediately, Zhang Heng is likely to be arrested, and then recalled by the company in advance.

In the end, the strong desire to go to the fourth floor to live still overwhelmed the fear in her heart, Xu Qian chose to accept Zhang Heng's arrangement and got on the shuttle to the space on the first floor.

"You said that when you first came to New Shanghai 0297, you worked as a greeter in a small restaurant, do you remember where that restaurant is?" On the shuttle, Zhang Heng asked Xu Qian.

"Of course." Xu Qian moved her body fixed by the seat belt slightly, although she had already made a decision, but once she realized that she was gradually approaching a layer of space, Xu Qian would still feel inexplicably upset, and she just wanted to get up from her seat immediately and escape from the car, but once the shuttle began to move, the seat belt on her body could not be unfastened, so Xu Qian could only sit honestly until the end.

Then she frowned again, "You're going to let me go with you to the same small restaurant where I originally worked, why?" I didn't like the owner there and didn't want to see him again. ”

"You're much more successful than him now, don't you want to go back and avenge the revenge of the year?"

"What's the point of that, it was a long time ago." Xu Qian shook her head and said, "And with his cheekiness, Bacheng will take a photo with me and advertise his restaurant, I don't want to cheapen him anymore." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I'm here, if you're not happy, I can even help you flatten him." Zhang Hengdao.

"That sounds like a good idea." Xu Qian reluctantly squeezed out a smile on her face when she heard this.
