The Lone Walker

After leaving the dormitory, it was time to go to work, so Chen Fan walked towards the city. This guy never went to class, but he never failed an exam. Why?

Because Yang Yunxi, the beautiful classmate who was the class monitor, student committee member and department belle, sat in front of him during exams, protected him in every exam, and signed in for him in class.

This made several wolf friends in the dormitory feel that the world was unfair, and Chen Fan could only laugh it off. He was not pretending to be stupid. He knew Yang Yunxi's feelings for him, but he knew himself well. How could a clean-handed man dare to miss a beautiful woman, especially since he had a girlfriend.

After a while, they arrived at the door of a department store in the city. This was where Chen Fan worked part-time. There was not much to do on weekdays. He just had to move things and tidy up the warehouse every morning.

The monthly income is nearly two to three thousand, which is enough for Chen Fan who doesn't spend much. What's more, his girlfriend has broken up with him, so he has even less money to spend.

"Hey, hey, Xiao Chen, you came quite early today." The speaker was Liu Guangnian, the owner of the department store.

"Oh, it's Brother Liu. I couldn't sleep, so I came here for nothing. I have nothing to do anyway."

Chen Fan responded with a smile.

"Hey, employees from ordinary universities like you are really hardworking, unlike those students from famous universities in the company, who are all spoiled. They probably haven't even gotten up yet. What a shame! I, the boss, have come here, but they still want me to wait for them. I have to teach these bastards a lesson today."

As he was talking, Boss Liu rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to eat someone. But in fact, Chen Fan knew he was just joking. Brother Liu was kind to others and never used his power to bully others. When Chen Fan wanted to find a long-term part-time job, many companies looked down on him because he was a student from a third-rate university and were unwilling to hire him. Only Boss Liu waved his hand and allowed Chen Fan to stay in this department store.

Chen Fan was also grateful to Mr. Liu, so he visited him privately several times, bringing his own local specialties to express his gratitude. As a result, they became friends, and Chen Fan usually called him Brother Liu in private.

"Hey, Brother Liu, you don't know this, the early bird catches the worm. This morning I saw a lot of beautiful women doing morning exercises. Their figures were amazing," Chen Fan said with a lewd smile. "Haha, you kid, I just praised you a few times and you lost your compliments. It's really like the young people nowadays..."

I'm about to enter the company.

Suddenly, Boss Liu turned around and spoke to Chen Fan with concern.

"Xiao Chen, why is there a pool of blood on your chest? What happened? Are you injured?"

"How could that be? Brother Liu, you must have seen it wrong..."

Chen Fan looked at his chest and saw a fist-sized pool of blood clearly visible on his clothes. He immediately remembered the strange dream he had.

Immersed in his own world, he casually said, "Brother Liu, young people have strong energies. This is probably a nosebleed from sleeping at night..."

.........

Chen Fan thought about yesterday's dream, then raised his hand and found that his watch was gone, because he had never taken it off since he bought it. Combined with what happened yesterday... he suddenly remembered the name of that sloppy man "Cheng Shifei". Could it be...

I traveled through time so easily, and then I finished my work in a daze. Before I knew it, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

"Xiao Chen, why don't you go back? I see that you are not in good condition. I will give you three days off to relax." Boss Liu said to Chen Fan with a smile.

"Oh, thank you Brother Liu, I do have some things at home," Chen Fan frowned.

Then the two chatted for a while, and Boss Liu turned and left. Chen Fan fell into thought. He vaguely remembered that he was woken up by the sound of suona this morning. So if no one woke him up, would he stay in that world forever?

He also thought of his aging parents, his girlfriend who had left him, and Yang Yunxi who loved him deeply...

"Damn, done." Chen Fan thought. As the saying goes, wealth and honor come with risk. Since my things can be taken away, it proves that I can also take things back.

This good thing was probably his only chance to change his fate, so he walked out of the warehouse, bought a bottle of Xifeng wine and a roast chicken, and returned to the warehouse. After closing the shutter door, he began to feast. After finishing a bottle of wine, his mind began to feel dizzy, but he was still thinking about the previous dream, and he lost consciousness soon...

……

"Young Master, Young Master," Chen Fan heard a voice calling out in a daze. He opened his eyes and saw Scarface calling him.

"Oh, sorry, big brother, what happened to me just now?" Chen Fan thought for a while and asked.

"It's nothing, you just closed your eyes suddenly, and then I called you twice and you woke up. Oh... I was so busy talking. Sir, your brother's matter is settled, but your thing is really valuable. Why don't you come with me to the pawnshop to pawn some more silver. Although we are the thugs of the casino and are responsible for collecting debts, we only target those gamblers, you see." Scarface kept saying.

"Okay then," Chen Fan responded.

Then the two of them went to a pawnshop. After hearing that Chen Fan was going to pawn this priceless treasure, the pawnshop also offered a price of "one thousand taels of gold" plus a genuine Tang Yin painting of coral. (This was also because of Scar, otherwise they probably wouldn't have been able to offer such a high price).

Then he paid off Scar's gambling debts for Cheng Shifei and gave Scar 500 taels of gold as a token of gratitude. Scar said he didn't want anything...

.........

"Brother Scar, we get along pretty well. Even if you don't want it, you should still consider your brothers. It's not easy to live on the edge of a knife. It's better to use this money to do some business. When I come to Beijing in the future, I can visit you."

……

Finally, after Chen Fan's persuasion, Scarface accepted the gold. The two hit it off immediately and felt sorry for not meeting each other earlier. After a few drinks, they decided to become sworn brothers on the spot. Chen Fan had no choice but to give in...

The next day, Chen Fan heard Scar say that Cheng Shifei and his childhood friend Zhang San had left, and guessed that they went to some gambling house to gamble again... so he ignored him and wandered around the capital of that era in his spare time. It was indeed different under the emperor's feet.

As night fell, he went to an inn and asked for a quiet room. He fell into a deep sleep, holding Tang Yin's famous painting and the remaining three hundred taels of gold in his arms...

Between dreaming and waking, Chen Fan seemed to be in the clouds, half of his body was in another world, and half was in reality...

His strong will to survive made him try his best even in his sleep.

……

After a while, Chen Fan finally recovered. Because his mental strength was damaged, he was still in an inexplicable state.
