Chapter 1: The Temple of the Dragon, Dreams?
Sixty-five million years ago, an incomparably huge extraterrestrial meteorite suddenly appeared outside the Earth's starry sky. The meteorite was blazing in the atmosphere, rushing straight towards this beautiful blue planet.
"Boom" An indescribable sound resounded throughout the whole world, and suddenly the sky collapsed, and the sun and moon were gone.
Since then, the era of dinosaurs has ended, and there is no one in ten creatures on the earth, and a sad song of life has resounded throughout the world.
But what I didn't expect was that after the destruction, there was a new life, and more colorful species, especially a large number of mammals, sprung up and spread across the land. The earth is more vibrant than ever.
Finally, three million years ago, for the first time, a certain intelligent creature, the ancient ape, appeared.
Australopithecus went through all kinds of hardships in nature, constantly evolved, survived and developed, and millions of years later, a highly developed civilization human society emerged. So the earth has ushered in a new era.
"Hello, you have a new order, please pay attention to check. “
Shi Lei picked up the mobile phone hanging around his neck, looked at it with tired eyes, and then put it down tiredly.
A slightly dilapidated electric car under the butt swayed and moved.
"I said why do you always come so slowly, the guests are in a hurry, who is responsible for the loss, I still have to do business. “
In a Shanxi noodle restaurant, a middle-aged woman with a yellow face sat at the bar, muttering dissatisfied.
Shi Lei, who walked in, barely squeezed out a smile and licked his face, "I'm really sorry Sister Liu, there is a bit of traffic jam on the road, I will send it to the customer immediately, there will definitely be no mistakes." “
"Traffic jam?" Sister Liu raised her head, and finally looked at it, her tone was full of disbelief, "You always say that there is a traffic jam, you are a rider of an electric car, no matter how blocked you are, you can't block you." “
Shi Lei smiled helplessly, "Sister Liu, didn't I explain to you, although I ride an electric car to deliver takeaways, I never run traffic lights and don't rush the road." It's not the rush hour, so it's a bit congested. “
As he spoke, he picked up a simple lunch box on the table that had been placed next to the bar, turned around and walked out the door.
"Fool, really think how noble your own qualities are, cut. There was a soft sound of disdain behind him.
Shi Lei stood outside the door, shook his head vigorously, as if he could make himself more energetic and sober, and skillfully put the takeaway in his hand in the box on the back seat of the electric car.
He muttered, "It's going to rain this day, and it's another painful day." It's better to finish the work at noon quickly, and come over to bring Yu Xin a piece of this noodle later, the boss is not good, the noodles are still very delicious, and I said before that I didn't have time to come over to eat. “
The electric car swayed and moved slowly, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, driving in the traffic on the road, avoiding pedestrians from time to time, but most of the time it was blocked in front of the red light at the intersection.
Finally, half an hour later, he came to a newly built neighborhood on the edge of the city.
The area of the community is very large, the greening inside is also very good, rockery, flowing water, all kinds of fitness equipment are available, the most important thing is that the price is very appropriate, although the location is a little off.
Shi Lei is no stranger to this community, he and Yu Xin have been here many times, of course, not to deliver takeaways, but to see houses.
The two of them had already seen the inside and outside of this community in detail, as well as various apartment types, and they were very excited.
But then due to some unexpected events, this plan was put on hold without limit.
With a bitter sigh, he glanced at the address on the phone screen, "Unit 2 101 on the twenty-third floor"
"Wow, wow, wow. There was a knock on the door, and a man's magnetic voice came from inside, "Who?"
"Hello, sir, the takeout you ordered. “
As the words fell, there was a slight movement inside, and then a gentle footstep spread to the door.
"Squeak...", the heavy door slowly opened, a man with big eyes, a pretty face, a snow-white complexion, and a tall figure, although the whole body was dressed very simple and simple, but it was definitely a beauty in the crowd, and appeared.
"Yuxin?" Shi Lei couldn't help but whisper, his head was blank, his eyes were dizzy, and the takeaway in his hand swayed unconsciously.
Yu Xin was also stunned for an instant, the whole person panicked, and hurriedly walked out and closed the door behind him heavily.
"Stone, you misunderstood, it's definitely not what you see, you must not think about it. “
Shi Lei put away his left hand that was holding on to the wall, pushed away the slender hand that stretched out, and handed over the takeaway in his right hand, while taking a deep breath and squeezing out an expression that only he thought was a smile.
"Hello, your takeaway, please take it. The road is a little congested, and the delivery is a little late, sorry. “
Yu Xin's whole person began to panic, panicked and didn't know what to do, what to say, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop falling.
Shi Lei had no choice, so he carefully put the takeaway on the ground at the door, turned around and walked out, without a trace of words or a trace of remembrance.
"Stone, it's not what you think, don't think about it, listen to me explain it. “
Only then did Yu Xin react, and chased out with tears on her face, her body swaying, feeling that a gust of wind could blow it down.
Finally, by the flower pond, she pulled the decisive figure back.
Shi Lei turned around expressionlessly, his heart twitching, and looked at the girl in front of him.
"Well, say whatever you want, I'll listen. “
"The man inside is my colleague, his name is Lin Tong. This is his newly bought house, which has just been renovated, and invited me to come and visit it at noon, and you know that I like the house here very much, so I came to have a look. I admit that he pursued me all the time, but I didn't do anything to be sorry for you, and nothing happened to us?"
Yu Xin said cautiously, her eyes full of nervousness and expectation.
"Then I said I would bring you food at noon, why did you say that you were working overtime and asked your colleague to bring it to you?"
"I'm not afraid that you will misunderstand, but I'm even more afraid of stimulating you, and I didn't tell me when you started doing food delivery. Yu Xin pouted and explained aggrievedly.
At this time, from the door of the building, the man named Lin Tong walked out, as if he had been prepared, quietly and coldly watching everything that happened in front of him.
Shi Lei nodded, took a deep breath, and spoke calmly.
"I see, then is he good to you, how is the person?"
Yu Xin's moist eyes looked at Shi Lei, who had calmed down, suspiciously, and her mood eased a lot. But I don't know why I suddenly asked such a sentence. After being stunned for a few seconds, he replied.
"He's very nice to me, and he's very good in the eyes of the people around him, but nothing really happens to me or him, you trust me. “
"I believe in you"
After saying that, Shi Lei turned around and walked to the figure at the door, who was only taller than himself, and stretched out his hand, "Hello, my name is Shi Lei." “
"Hello, I know you are Shi Lei, and my name is Lin Tong. The man also extended his hand in a friendly manner and shook hands politely.
"It's only been a few days since I delivered takeaways, and you can know that it seems that I do have a heart. However, I don't care what tricks you are playing, don't use it on Yuxin in the future, she is a good girl. “
"What do you mean?" Lin Tong raised his eyebrows, his tone a little indifferent.
Yu Xin also seemed to understand something at this time, and hurriedly walked over, pointed at Lin Tong's nose, and shouted angrily.
"Lin Tong, this is what you planned, right?"
Lin Tong nodded very frankly.
"You..." Before Yu Xin could speak, Shi Lei had already reached out to stop her words.
"Yuxin, don't talk yet. Lin Tong, since you have the heart to investigate me, then you should know some of the things that have happened to me recently. “
Lin Tong nodded, "That's why I planned this scene, Shi Lei, you have to admit that you can't give Yuxin happiness anymore, don't think that if you keep hiding it from her, you two can persevere, time is the most unaffordable thing, how much time do you think you have to consume?"
"Lin Tong, why do you care about the happiness of the two of us, I know that you are very good to me, but I already have a stone, I can only say sorry to you. “
Lin Tong ignored Yu Xin, his eyes just stared at Shi Lei's eyes, waiting for him to speak.
The atmosphere grew silent.
Shi Lei closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief, "Lin Tong, I have to admit that you are very powerful, your strategy is above board, and your character is accurate." You win, I give up. “
Yu Xin's face turned pale in an instant, she couldn't believe her ears, and her whole body trembled, "Stone, what are you talking about?"
Shi Lei turned around and looked at such a pitiful figure beside him, like a drowning person holding a piece of wood, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes for the last time, and the whole person seemed to be crushed, carrying her back.
"Yuxin, I'm sorry, I can't hold on. “
"What the hell is going on? You tell me, I can fight with you no matter what, we have been together for so many years in college, how can you be so selfish, give up when you say give up, how can you be worthy of me. Yu Xin's whole person seemed to collapse, and her hands were frantically grabbing Shi Lei's arm.
Tears slid from the tip of Shi Lei's nose, and he trembled to break free from Yu Xin's white, tender and thin, but powerful hands, and his trembling lips said slowly,
"I can't hold it myself, and I won't drag you in, so if you say I'm selfish, I'll be selfish. What do you want to know, Lin Tong will tell you, if he is really good to you, don't come to me again. “
With a "snap", a hard slap hit Shi Lei in the face, and the power was so great that a red mark appeared on his face.
"You bastard, why don't you tell me anything, why are you so selfish without consulting me, what have I been to you for so many years?" Yu Xin's whole body had collapsed and roared.
Shi Lei didn't react, he slowly turned around and left, and suddenly thought of something halfway through, turned around and said, "Lin Tong, it's your business that you like Yuxin, but whether she wants it or not is her business, you can't force it." Also, if I find out that you are bullying her, I will not be done with you if you fight for this life. “
Lin Tong looked at it in surprise, and his indifferent face finally had a hint of emotion, "I have to say, I appreciate you a little bit now." In this way, I will give you 500,000 yuan, you can rest assured, the money has nothing to do with your and Yuxin's feelings, you can think that I pity you, but your family needs this money after all. “
Is this humiliation? Probably.
But what was even more humiliating was that when Shi Lei turned around and walked towards the dilapidated electric car, he said heavily, "Thank you, I will return it to you in the future." “
When the figure full of bitterness left quickly, Yu Xin seemed to react, and suddenly stood up and chased after him.
"Stone, come back, don't leave me, it's okay for you to come back. “
There was no response, and the figure quickly disappeared into the traffic and people on the road.
