I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Three days later, in the waiting room of Shanghai Pudong International Airport.

Qin Zhong and Xin Hai sat in seats in the waiting hall. Xin Hai kept talking, saying what he would do and what he would buy when he arrived in the island country.

In short, Qin Zhong felt as if there were three hundred ducks chirping in his ears.

If it were someone else, they might find it too noisy, but Qin Zhong wouldn't, because he had long been accustomed to it. After all, it wasn't the first day he had known Xin Hai, and he had been accustomed to it over the years.

Qin Zhong didn't say anything, just flipped through his phone, occasionally replying to him, just as a response to give him a little response, so as not to let Xin Hai feel that he didn't listen to him.

Suddenly, Qin Zhong heard Xin Hai lower his voice and ask in his ear: "Qin Zhong, do you think Xiao Li has a boyfriend?"

"Uh!" Qin Zhong was amused by Xin Hai's sudden change of topic and replied lazily, "How about you go and ask?"

Xiao Li is the contact person for the travel agency for this event. His full name is unknown. All we know is that Xiao Li is responsible for all the procedures, air tickets, etc. in the past few days.

Qin Zhong had been communicating through WeChat and phone calls before, but when he arrived at the airport today, he found out that Xiao Li was going to accompany them throughout the trip and could be considered as their local guide after they arrived in the island country.

From today until the end of the trip and return to Shanghai, the entire itinerary will be arranged by Xiao Li, so she will accompany the two of them throughout the trip.

Xiao Li is a pretty woman, in her early twenties, about 1.6 meters tall. She was wearing a white lace dress, simple and comfortable, white long boots on her feet, and a pure white down jacket on the outside.

Dressed in white, Xiao Li looked particularly pure. She also tied her hair into a high ponytail and put on light makeup, which made her facial features look delicate, her skin fair and flawless, and she was beautiful and attractive.

When the three met, Xin Hai was shocked. He was also a rich second-generation, and when he reached a certain age, his family naturally arranged blind dates for him.

Under pressure from his mother, Xin Hai went on several date nights, but according to what he told Qin Zhong when he came back, those women were all after his rich father, and they acted as if they couldn't wait to be his stepmother, which made him feel a little disgusted.

Because of this, Xin Hai gets annoyed whenever his family asks him to get married and refuses to do so, saying that he wants to find a woman he likes, otherwise he would rather be alone for the rest of his life.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, after Xiao Li left, Xin Hai covered his heart and said to Qin Zhong: "Qin Zhong, it's over, I think I'm falling in love!"

Qin Zhong: “…”

Just as Xin Hai was giving his speech, Xiao Li came back with all the completed documents and brought coffee for the two of them.

Qin Zhong politely took the coffee and started drinking it, but Xin Hai decisively abandoned Qin Zhong, sat next to Xiao Li, and began to show off his family background.

Before, he said that he wanted to show his strengths and let Xiao Li know that his family background was quite rich. Qin Zhong even joked with him, why weren't he afraid that Xiao Li was a gold digger?

Xin Hai responded with a smile, he was afraid she wasn't, if she was, then he might be in love!

Although Qin Zhong was speechless about Xin Hai's words, he felt it was good to see that his friend had someone he liked. After all, they were all adults, and it was okay to have a relationship if both of them were willing.

……

Because Xin Hai was chatting with Xiao Li, Qin Zhong, who was a little bored while waiting for the flight, looked around. Soon, a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old caught his attention not far away.

The girl had her eyes slightly closed and was wearing headphones, as if listening to music. In each hand, she held a scrambled three-layer Rubik's Cube.

As the girl's slender fingers moved, the two scrambled Rubik's Cubes were spinning rapidly, stopping for a second every few seconds, and then spinning rapidly again.

Strangely, these two Rubik's Cubes have never been solved.

If an outsider looks at this scene, they will find that it looks like a rookie fiddling around with the Rubik's Cube at random and has no idea how to play with it.

Inside Shanghai's Pudong International Airport, people were coming and going. The girl sat among the bustling crowd, appearing exceptionally quiet and lonely.

It was as if all the noise here had nothing to do with her.

The reason why Qin Zhong paid attention to this girl was because he seemed to feel the vicissitudes of time in this girl, and also a touch of inexplicable familiarity.

But on the other hand, Qin Zhong was very sure that he had never seen this girl before, and this must be the first time he met her.

At this moment, not far from the waiting room, several young people who were traveling together to the island country seemed to see the girl and stopped immediately.

Because the place where the few people were standing was not far from Qin Zhong, although the airport was noisy, Qin Zhong could still barely hear their conversation clearly.

"Hey, someone is playing with a Rubik's Cube." A young man said to his companion with a smile.

Everyone followed his gaze towards the girl, but after a few looked at her for a while, they turned away in boredom. One young man said speechlessly, "It's obvious she's a novice. What's so good about her?"

"Well, if you can't solve a Rubik's Cube in SUB-10, you haven't even gotten started. This girl looks pretty, but she's a bit of a show-off. She hasn't even mastered solving the Rubik's Cube with one hand, but she's exaggeratingly using both hands. It's like she's thinking about running before she's even learned to walk." Another person said with some disdain.

In the Rubik's Cube world, "SUB-10" is a professional term that means the average solution time of a 3x3 Rubik's Cube is less than 10 seconds. This is often used to describe the speed and skill level of high-level Rubik's Cube players.

These people also seemed to be able to play Rubik's Cube, but they looked down on the girl's Rubik's Cube skills. Some even thought that the girl was too arrogant for having one in each hand.

Hearing their conversation, Qin Zhong just narrowed his eyes slightly. He always felt that this girl was not what these people said. There must be some problems that he had not discovered.

So Qin Zhong continued to stare at the girl, he always felt something was strange.

"Hey, Qin Zhong, what are you looking at?" At this time, Xiao Li, who seemed to be a little annoyed by Xin Hai, suddenly asked.

Her sudden words made Xin Hai stop talking. He looked at Qin Zhong and then followed his gaze to look at the girl.

"Tsk tsk, so you were peeking at the pretty girl? Qin Zhong, I didn't expect you to have this hobby!"

Qin Zhong frowned slightly: "Why are you so dirty? Look carefully at the Rubik's Cube she is playing with, it's very different..."

"Huh!" Xiao Li and Xin Hai looked at the Rubik's Cubes in the girl's left and right hands in confusion, but they couldn't see anything wrong.

After taking a look, Xin Hai felt the same as the young people and said with a pout, "He's just a newbie. He's not even as good as me!"
