On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

He didn't know how his longing had accumulated to this point, as deep as the sea.

Maybe it’s waking up in the morning and not being able to see each other for the first time, or falling asleep alone in a cold blanket at night.

In short, when I came to my senses again, the suppressed emotions were so strong that they could not be relieved by relying solely on the photos next to the sofa, the scenes of our past interactions, and the fragments of memories.

A small pile of unopened packages lay beside the small table.

One package represents one birthday.

Including the two photo frames on the small table, there are six in total.

Six birthday gifts, six lingering complex emotions, he has been gone for six years.

He couldn't tell if this was just a habit. After all, time can change many things, appearance, behavior, habits, and even feelings and vows that were once cherished.

Chen Qian could never figure out why he was so far away from the center of the chaos, nor could he figure out how things had turned out like this.

By the time he discovered that his freedom was actually a hidden confinement, it was already too late.

He is the only one who escaped, he is also a shackle, and he is also a key piece in the chess game.

There are many double meanings in his brother's words. Behind every sweet word from his lover, there is a hand pushing him away. News and gossip that come across the ocean and reach his sight are unfamiliar faces, the ones he is most familiar with.

The depressed mood urgently needs an outlet to vent all the chaotic and confusing things.

Chen Qian lay in the middle of the bed, staring blankly at the light on the ceiling.

He thought back to his past life which was dull and full of strangeness.

There were two groups of people following him and he couldn't get rid of them, Chi Yuxing who came to visit him late at night on April Fool's Day, and friends and family who occasionally came to keep him company, and whose conversations always ended awkwardly somewhere.

I don’t know how long it was, maybe half an hour, maybe an hour, he suddenly turned over and sat up.

The door of the apartment closed behind him, and the computer screen that was not closed displayed a piece of news - the head of the Chi family may have a son with the only daughter of the Shi family.

……

"Are you sure?" Chen Qian heard the person opposite him ask himself.

The last time he did this was still fresh in his mind, and he was reminding himself whether he really wanted to do this.

He nodded slowly, then placed the small bag containing his ID on the table and said, "Haven't you always wanted to write an article about that place? We can go together now."

"I've failed." The man's voice was cold and emotionless, but his slightly furrowed brows revealed his disapproval.

"That's why we have to take them by surprise and catch them off guard." Chen Qian's eyebrows danced with joy, his arms waving restlessly in the air. At the end of his words, he slammed the table again and cursed, "And if you keep going on like this, I won't be able to go home until that old bastard dies. Isn't this crazy!"

He had a plan, a hasty plan.

As the saying goes, if you don't succeed, you will die. Beginning is the ancestor of success and failure.

Once he has an idea, he wants to try it out as soon as possible.

Chen Qian looked at the other person eagerly until he nodded helplessly under this wrong gaze.

……

"There are a lot of them. Didn't you see it last time?" The background sound on the other end of the phone was the ups and downs of the puppy's barking.

"Last time they were prepared, but this time it's different. They know nothing." Chen Qian answered him confidently.

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Find someone similar to me, and then lure me away." Chen Qian said in a light tone, tapping his fingers on the table.

"...Okay, they won't hurt you, but you should still be careful." The other party reluctantly agreed to his request, and after a moment added, "When they start fighting, remember to rush towards the airport. Chaos can be your invisibility charm."

"I see, thank you! I'll definitely bring you some local specialties when I come back!"
