"Thank you all." Although Chen Xiaoxiao kept wiping away her tears, they continued to fall, and no one knew the joy she felt at that moment.
Even if the truth is never revealed, it's enough that someone spoke up for them firmly...
"Close your eyes, we'll send you out of the instance." Chen Xiaoxiao waved her hand, and the whole world fell silent again. Shen Qingyan's vision went black, and after a brief dizziness, the unique hustle and bustle of the human world returned.
Asphalt roads, aerial transportation, bustling shops, and throngs of pedestrians.
He returned to the modern era.
Right next to the Jiangbei City light rail station, people passing by looked at him with curiosity and admiration.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"Don't go over there. He's so handsome and has such a great presence. He might be filming a variety show or a movie. If we go over there, we'll give ourselves away."
"That's right, a newcomer who hasn't debuted yet. Such a proper ancient demeanor. You know, a top scholar, right? He just doesn't seem as weak as one might expect."
……
"Thank you, I need help." Shen Qingyan smiled. He hadn't bought a phone when he was pulled into the instance, so he had no way to contact Gu Xixi.
And the location where he was ejected was probably random, so Xixi and the others couldn't pinpoint it...
"Can I borrow your phones to make a call? I can't reach my sweetheart." A string of numbers flashed through Shen Qingyan's mind; it was Gu Xixi's number, which he had specifically memorized beforehand.
The young woman who handed over the phone and her friend chuckled together: they guessed right, it was indeed a new actor filming, they were all too immersed in their roles, calling their girlfriends "sweethearts".
"Here you go, just delete the number after you're done to protect your privacy, I don't mind." The young woman started laughing again, "We'll definitely watch your show when it airs."
"Yes, yes, although you are still unknown, your temperament and appearance will definitely make you famous."
……
Shen Qingyan nodded slightly, then picked up his phone and held it to his ear, waiting for Gu Xixi to answer. However, he couldn't get through after several attempts. That's right, he couldn't get through to Xixi's phone right now...
He immediately deleted the call and dialed Mr. Gu's number again. After four rings, Mr. Gu's voice came from the other end, "Hello?"
"Uncle, it's me, it's Xiao Yan!"
"Xiao Yan... Xiao Yan, you're back?! Where are you? Don't be scared, just tell me your location and your aunt and uncle will come pick you up right away." Mr. Gu's heart was pounding with excitement, and his hands were trembling.
"If you don't know the way, ask the person who lent you their phone to tell us."
"I'm at Jiangbei City Light Rail Station. Uncle, I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry. I know the way, and I can run home even in the rain. Don't worry," Shen Qingyan chuckled, easing the tense atmosphere.
"You've really integrated well, kid. I was worried too much. You've even picked up some memes. Don't move, we'll be there soon." Mr. Gu laughed, looking much more relaxed.
Shen Qingyan deleted the number and then returned the phone. "Thank you both."
"Don't mention it, we'll wait for your sweetheart to arrive before we leave, just in case you need to make a phone call." The two young women didn't leave immediately.
Send Buddha to the West.
"Really, it's not necessary. My dad is coming to pick me up, he'll definitely come." Shen Qingyan explained again, it's really good that modern women are confident and proud.
The later Great Huang Dynasty was the same, which is wonderful.
"Okay." The girls left without hesitation and immediately started discussing other fun things.
Less than half an hour later, a van pulled up to the side of the road. Gu Xixi, wearing a mask and hat, quickly got out of the car and pulled Shen Qingyan, who was heading straight for the van, into it.
As she pulled him along, she looked Shen Qingyan up and down. Shen Qingyan shook his head. "I'm not injured."
The car door closed, and the car sped away again.
In the car, Gu Xixi took off her hat and mask and quickly brought out the preserved egg and lean pork congee that Aunt Qin had prepared. "Eat. Have you been eating these past few days? It's good that you're back. I have to go on a mission this afternoon."
If Shen Qingyan doesn't return before the mission, she'll be worried sick again.
"Are you worried about me?" Shen Qingyan took the insulated food container and began to eat slowly, his gaze fixed intently on Gu Xixi.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu sat on the sofa in the back, exchanged a smile, and silently bantered with each other.
Mr. Gu: [Are you worried about me?]
Gu's mother: [I was just worried about you.]
Mr. Gu: I miss you.
Gu's mother: [I miss you too, sob sob sob hahaha.]
……
The two were having a great time when the car suddenly fell silent. Gu's parents turned around and saw Shen Qingyan holding a bowl and Gu Xixi holding water, both looking at them.
The two immediately regained their composure and pretended not to see them.
As long as they're not embarrassed, it's everyone else who's embarrassed!
After Shen Qingyan finished her bowl of food, Gu's parents sat down. "Are you sleepy? If you are, I'll open the bed so you can sleep for a while. Poor child, you must be exhausted."
"Are you hurt?" Mother Gu belatedly looked Shen Qingyan up and down.
Shen Qingyan shook her head again, "No, I wasn't injured at all. Maybe it's because it was my first time participating in a dungeon, and it wasn't too difficult. It's alright."
"What kind of instance did you go to? Was it scary? How did you find the key information? I've only read about this in novels, I never thought it actually existed. Don't drag me in one of these days."
Mr. Gu still felt quite scared when he thought about it.
Gu's mother immediately slapped his arm, "Nonsense, you don't have such a special destiny, you're just an ordinary person."
Shen Qingyan simply smiled and began to briefly recount the story of the instance.
After the story was told, the group was filled with emotion.
"It's such a pity, such a perfect couple."
"That girl was kind too. All she asked for was a firm statement in her defense, a statement that didn't follow the crowd or hearsay... That city must have been fake too, not that everyone was really dead."
"Rumors are like tigers, and aren't they just as rampant in modern times? The Qing Dynasty has been gone for hundreds of years, yet people are still being persecuted for dyeing their hair pink... The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Let's go dye our hair pink and red tomorrow."
……
The car arrived at the villa.
It's already 11 a.m., and the trek starts at 1 p.m., leaving only two hours. We usually need to start preparing one or two hours in advance…
Gu Xixi escorted Shen Qingyan inside. Chu Feng coughed as a reminder, and she stood at the doorway. "Shen Qingyan, I need to..."
"Go ahead, don't worry, don't delay your business." Shen Qingyan took the initiative to let go of Gu Xixi. If two people are truly in love, what does it matter if they are together day and night?
He wasn't afraid to wait a little longer.
"Okay, by the way, everything I bought is in your room, along with two cell phones. One is a work phone, which was given to me by Boss Chu, and the other is a personal phone. Keep it with you so we can still contact each other."
After Gu Xixi finished speaking, she suddenly turned around and got into the car.
Shen Qingyan took a step forward, smiled, and followed him inside.
