The barriers between the 'worldly realms' quickly came to naught, and they were nakedly connected.

Feeling the dirt caused by the dust on the tip of his nose seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, Zhang Lisheng's miserable white face hidden under the foundation became iron-blue, and he looked at the sky and muttered: "It's not going to be 'spread out' like this, isn't there a chance for me to try..."

The collapse of the red wall of light, despite the youth's anger and frustration, continued at an accelerated pace, but finally slowly stopped after about half an hour.

Seeing that the speed of the collapse of the wall of light slowed down and gradually disappeared, Zhang Lichang breathed a sigh of relief, sank down and made a rough calculation according to his visual inspection, and found that the passage from the earth to the 'Sea Shrimp No. 2 World Realm' had expanded about twice as much, and the smile that had just appeared on the corner of his mouth disappeared without a trace in an instant.

After pondering for a while, he turned around and climbed down the tall building with a blank face, and the movements comparable to those of the top 'parkour' caused a commotion among the young people who poured into the streets, and from time to time someone shouted: "Cool, man, cool, do it again, I'll take a picture of you..."

The young man ignored the cheers around him and returned to Maddie, took the two large bags of food from the girl's hand again, and saw that there were still people in the distance gesturing at him, and couldn't help frowning and said: "Are those guys crazy, just now the 'wall of the world's realm' collapsed, don't they think it's more important to think about how they will survive in the future than to see a stranger climb the wall soon?"

"They're just kids, and they don't have the responsibility to think about the future of humanity because they don't have that ability. ”

"You mean, I have a responsibility to think about the future of humanity, don't you, Maddie. Because 'with great power comes great responsibility'," Zhang Lisheng shrugged and sat in the car, "but I'm not Spider-Man, I have more abilities than him, but I don't have his 'kind eyes'." ”

"Did anyone say you're cute when you're angry?" asked Maddie as she sat down next to the young man, glancing at his still very solemn face.

"When I'm angry, I usually just feel horrified and awe-inspired. Zhang Lisheng glanced back at the girl and said coldly.

"They're all wrong, baby, you're so cute now—" Maddie didn't care about the young man's eyes. Suddenly she reached out and kissed him quickly on the lips. Then he quickly started the car and turned onto the main road.

The car sped in silence for a while, and then drove out of New York's Chinatown and came to a place that looked old and dilapidated from the outside. The road is narrow. The ground is dirty. The apartment buildings on both sides of the street also have the community where the barking of cats and dogs can be heard from time to time.

"We arrived in Lisheng. Maddie, who hadn't spoken all the way, pulled over to the side of the road and whispered.

"Listen to Maddie, I'll leave right next time. Zhang Lisheng said and lifted two large bags of Huaguo cuisine and got out of the car, and Maddie smiled quietly. After getting out of the car, he smiled as if he hadn't heard anything, pointed to a low apartment building next to him, and said, "I live here in Lisheng, from birth to now." ”

The street lights are dim, and the air in the urban slum seems to be much colder and dirtier than in Manhattan, but it is a 'good place' for the poor to live in comparison to the neighborhoods where new immigrants live in Queens, where there are no young people roaming around with guns before 12 o'clock.

"Oh, the name of this street is 'Jasmine,' but in fact it doesn't smell at all," said the young man as he followed the girl into the apartment through the gravelly street, and couldn't help but say with a bitter face.

"Yes, it's funny to think that the first girl to have an intimate relationship with you was born with a 'golden spoon' in her mouth, lived in the 'royal palace' in Manhattan, and can help you at all times;

And the second girl you had an intimate relationship with was born in the 'slums', and it was all thanks to your charity that saved her poor family, there is a world of difference.

You love the first and hate the second. Walking in the narrow stairwell, Maddie came to a stop in front of an old iron door on the second floor, turned to look at Zhang Lisheng, who was a little stunned, and smiled and said, "We have arrived." There was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" said a high-pitched female voice in the room.

"It's my mom. The girl outside the door shouted in a completely different tone than usual.

"Oh, dear Maddie, are you back, it's been much earlier than usual today. The door soon opened, and a tall, old-faced, but vaguely visible middle-aged woman stretched out her head and hugged Maddie vigorously, kissing her on the cheek with a loud 'tsk'.

"I brought a friend home for dinner today, so I came back early, Mom. The girl also kissed her mother's cheek and said.

"Friend," the middle-aged woman let go of her daughter in surprise, looked at Zhang Lisheng on the side and shouted in surprise: "It's still a man!"

"Oh mom that's it, Li Sheng is my colleague, a while ago he went on a business trip to another place and returned to New York after his mother immigrated to the 'Noah's world', I saw that he had nowhere to go, so I invited him to our house for dinner. ”

"Oh, you did the right thing Maddie, the first 'home' meal shouldn't have been eaten in a restaurant. The middle-aged woman nodded to her daughter with an unusually happy expression, and greeted Zhang Lisheng warmly: "Please come in young people, we are about to have dinner, please come in." ”

"Mrs. Xie Luxie. Zhang Lisheng smiled and walked into the door, the apartment was much bigger than he imagined, at least as soon as he entered the door, he could see that the living room and dining room could be placed in the middle of a ten-seater dining table with a large plate of fried chicken, mixed green beans, and scones.

"Oh Maddie, my dear darling, you're back..."Seeing Maddie enter the door, a tall Caucasian man sitting in the main seat of the restaurant shouted happily, and suddenly saw an uninvited guest next to the girl, he paused for a moment, and his face changed and asked, "Who is he?"

"Bob, this young man is a colleague of Maddie, and he's here to be a guest at our house today..."The middle-aged woman glared at her husband when she heard the tall man's tone, and replied in place of her daughter.

As soon as the woman's voice fell, Maddie immediately said, "And Li Sheng also brought your favorite 'Chinese cuisine' as a gift, Dad." ”

"Ah, you are so gracious young man, remember that the next time you come to dinner with a large family like ours, you don't have to prepare special food. The middle-aged woman looked at Zhang Lisheng's emaciated figure and said with a smile.

"Oh, ma'am, I'm a martial artist, and I'm afraid I eat a lot more than you think. ”

"Yes, Maddie's father was a construction worker, and his friends were all strong 'pot-bellied' men, but no one had ever shocked me with their appetite. The middle-aged woman took the two large bags of Chinese cuisine from Zhang Lisheng's hand, "Oh, this is really a lot of weight."

Tyra went and moved a chair for your sister's friend, right next to her seat, hurry. ”

The big-eyed boy in a thin brown sweater and black sweatpants who looked the youngest of the five young people gathered around the dining table reluctantly stood up, walked into the inner room, took out a wooden chair and put it away, and said loudly to Zhang Lisheng: "Hey man, this is my computer chair, use it carefully." ”

Hearing his brother's disrespectful remarks about Zhang Lisheng, Maddie immediately pointed at him and shouted: "Jesse, that's a sturdy wooden chair, we all know that no one can sit badly, be polite to my friend." ”

Under the fierce gaze of his sister, the big-eyed man pursed his lips and whispered, "OK Maddie, I'm glad to finally know that my sister is not gay." He lowered his head.

"Come to Lisheng, I'll introduce you to my family," Maddie didn't care about his clumsy little joke when she saw her brother give in, and naturally took Zhang Lisheng's hand and walked to the table and sat down, pointing to the tall man in the main seat and saying, "This is my dad Bob Josent, you can call him Bob." ”

"Oh Maddie, I, I think it's better to call your father, Mr. Josent," the young man who had already begun to feel that he should be burdened with the stigma of being a 'coward' not long ago refused to come to Maddie's house for dinner with an unnatural smile on his face, and nodded politely at Maddie's expressionless father, "It's an honor to know you, Mr. Josent." ”

In the face of Zhang Lisheng's greeting, Maddie's father raised his eyebrows and replied pointingly: "Boy, I see that you are a little bit of a faction, but if you want to deceive my daughter casually, it will be a big mistake..."

"Shut up Bob, Maddie said this young man is her colleague, don't let your daughter lose face, okay?" The hostess who was serving the takeaway Chinese food to the plate in the kitchen happened to hear her husband's nonsense, and immediately yelled in his ear.

"Colleague, didn't you see the way Maddie looked at him, she was still holding his hand just now.

Melinda, this is the first time our daughter has brought a man home since she became an adult, remember the first time I went to your house for dinner, did your father do this, he ate the steak with a machete, and the steak was not even four ripe, and blood flowed out of every knife..."

"Oh, Daddy, we're going to eat, can you please stop saying such disgusting things. Hearing her father's words, a girl next to her who looked very similar to Maddie said angrily.

"Did you hear what Mia said, Bob, shut up and eat immediately, or your weekly 'Fun Night' tonight will disappear without a trace..."

"Oh, Mom, don't talk anymore, okay, what kind of 'fun night' in front of six children, oh, this, it's really creepy..."

Maddie's family quarreled so badly, the girl watched all this and was silent for a while, and suddenly leaned on Zhang Lisheng's ear and whispered: "This is my family Li Sheng, they are noisy in front of me all day long, but I love them."

Tonight, I actually want to let you know through them whether I am a girl worthy of love after being hired to pretend to be your girlfriend to accompany you to the school dance party when I first met you, and have been relying on you for help since then........."

PS: I had a fever late at night last night, stayed up until the morning and got an injection, and I woke up a lot more comfortable
