Chapter 68: The Future and the Past Go with the Wind
After passing through the territory of the gray-skinned rhinoceros, there was another long stretch of empty woodland. This was the territory that originally belonged to the black shadow leopard. Chen Fan guessed that the black shadow leopard still hadn't refreshed, so he just silently carried the red flag in front of the three brothers and sisters.
OK.
Until he saw the stone tablet half buried in the soil again, and there was a dense forest in front of him. Chen Fan didn't say anything more, and planned to walk directly into the forest. When he was about to leave, he heard the sound of the red flag falling:
"Brother Fanye, why don't the three of us go in?"
Chen Fan turned around and saw the awkward smile on Hong Qi's face. He also realized that he was too silent, which made the atmosphere a bit monotonous and awkward. He hurried on without considering his own speed, and he fell behind a lot with the three of them.
distance, and said with a smile:
"It's okay. Don't worry, follow me. I guarantee you won't have any problems! But don't take the initiative next time, just follow me."
After hearing Chen Fan's explanation, Hongqi's nervousness relaxed a little. Then the three of them took a few steps to catch up with Chen Fan. Chen Fan also slowed down and led the three of them into the dense forest.
After a while, the four of them saw Guan Weasel's figure again. Chen Fan shouted, and sure enough, the Guan Weasel immediately rushed toward him and swung his sword slightly.
-8420
The level 23 Guan Weasel turned into a corpse. He was still extremely vigorous. He greeted the three people who were still in a daze and continued to move forward. Guan Weitai's difficulty also made the three of them smack their lips. Basically, you only need to fight it.
If you take one look at it, it will attack you, but under the sword of the God of Death Chen Fan, no weasel can rush in front of the three of them and cause damage.
Not long after the four of them entered the Weasel's territory, the fluttering flags were also upgraded, and the level was raised to 19. Chen Fan felt that it was still a little slow, so he shouted directly into the air. As expected, the effect was remarkable, and after a while there were many Weasels.
The weasels pounced, but one by one they became dead souls under Chen Fan's sword!
Then the four of them began to take turns making "strange calls" in Guan Weasel's territory, attracting Guan Weasel and then being killed by Chen Fan. It was like forming a complete industrial chain with a clear division of labor. When they arrived at the edge of Guan Weasel's territory, the four of them started talking to each other.
Looking at each other, they all laughed together in the end, with endless joy.
After the weasel extermination team passed through the initial territory, they saw a new species, the green-eyed lizard, with the exception of Chen Fan. When they saw the green-eyed lizard again, Colorful Flag Fluttering couldn't help but said with emotion:
"Why are these all green monsters? It's so strange."
The other two brothers and sisters also nodded in agreement. Chen Fan gave a wry smile and did not answer. He just acted as a protective umbrella for the team, and then harvested the lives of the green-eyed lizards. Green-eyed lizards are not as difficult to deal with as weasels, and shouting attracts them.
It was so small that Chen Fan could only intercept and kill the wild monsters he encountered along the way.
"Are they only very excited when it rains or at night?" Chen Fan was also a little confused.
The idea of taking out the Life Fruit to pull monsters came to mind again, but it was immediately rejected by myself. Although I have enough lethality, for the sake of safety, ensuring the lives of the team members is the first priority. I really can't do it.
Recruiting a brown bear lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect them properly.
But even so, the experience of the three people was still rising rapidly. By the time the group arrived at the brown bear territory, the lucky little snail had already caught up with the level of the colorful flag, which was all level 19.
When they reached the territory of the brown bear, Chen Fan no longer carried the red flag and kept the three of them moving forward. After all, the experience provided by the level 26 brown bear was already very considerable for the three of them. After passing this point, there was the Green Leaf Snake.
, with the speed and agility of the snake, Chen Fan could not guarantee the safety of the three people. Its attack also had a poisoning effect, and these people might not be able to bear it.
So Chen Fan decided to take them to level up here. However, the brown bear at level 26 was still not Chen Fan's enemy in one move. It was still easy. If it weren't for the fact that he had to share the damage to protect them from being attacked, Chen Fan wouldn't even have the medicine.
Too lazy to drink.
Just like this, Chen Fan waved his sword like rain, and after a while, the red flag did not fall and the colorful flag fluttered again. However, during this half-day of spawning monsters, Chen Fan's own experience was less than one-third of the full limit.
The experience of low-level monsters is really pitiful.
Seeing the happy expressions on the three people's faces, Chen Fan was also very happy, but when he was about to take action again, the bound doorbell suddenly rang in the game. In order to receive messages from visitors in the game, in order to avoid
Someone familiar came to visit, but he stayed behind closed doors.
Chen Fan was a little panicked in his heart, "Could it be that Xia Zhuying came here? That shouldn't be the case. She didn't tell me my room number. She probably didn't even know which building I lived in. Who could it be? Lin Dong, no.
possible.".
The three brothers and sisters also saw Chen Fan's unpredictable expression and asked tentatively: "Brother Fan Ye, what's wrong with you?".
Chen Fan just woke up and replied with a forced smile: "Someone rang my doorbell, I don't know who it was."
The red flag did not fall and he quickly asked: "Is the family here?".
Chen Fan looked a little sad and said: "I have no family...".
"ah?"
"ah?"
Two exclamations came from the mouths of Colorful Flag Fluttering and Lucky Little Snail respectively. Hongqi replied with some embarrassment: "What's wrong, brother, did you have a conflict with your family?".
"No, I grew up in an orphanage..." Chen Fan's voice slowly dropped.
It was even more embarrassing when the red flag failed to fall, and he apologized repeatedly: "I'm really sorry, brother, I really don't know.", while the other two siblings looked even more ashamed.
"It's okay, let me see who it is first." After calming down his beating heart, he called up the bound smart home system and wrote on the electronic display at the door:
"Who are you?".
The doorbell gradually subsided, and the man replied on the electronic screen: "I am Xia Zhuying's friend, and I want to tell you something."
Seeing the words Xia Zhuying again, Chen Fan's heart still stirred up huge waves. It's also true that nothing can be forgotten and given up so easily. Then he wrote again:
"She and I have nothing left to talk about. You can go back."
After a while, the visitor wrote again:
"Don't worry, Xia Zhuying didn't come over today. I'm a good friend of hers, and I know her affairs well, so I think it's necessary to explain it to you. But don't get me wrong, I'm not putting pressure on you, I'm just explaining it simply.
this matter.".
After seeing this sentence, Chen Fan felt that his heart was still trembling slightly, and finally compromised. He really needed an explanation and an explanation for this sudden matter, so he replied: "Then just wait a moment...".
"Okay." Seeing the clean answer from the person at the door, Chen Fan turned off the smart home system, then turned to face the red flag and said:
"Brother, I'm afraid I can only take you here today. Someone comes to see me and needs to meet."
Seemingly sensing Chen Fan's somewhat heavy voice, Hongqi Bubu quickly replied: "It has been a huge help. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. You can go ahead and do your work."
Chen Fan originally wanted to find a place to go offline directly, but he thought that it would be extremely dangerous for him to bring the three people who did not fall down the red flag to the brown bear territory. It would be extremely dangerous for them to go out on their own, so he ignored the objections of the three people and took the three people with him.
After returning to the territory of the gray-skinned rhinoceros, I found a place to log off.
Looking at Chen Fan's disappearing figure, Jia Qiang sighed: "I didn't expect that brother Fan Ye was actually an orphan."
Jia Shuyan said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, don't speak so harshly...".
Jia Qiang turned to look at his sister, looked at her firmly and said, "You know your brother doesn't mean that." Jia Shuyan did not retort and lowered her head.
Jia Hao answered, "Looking at Brother Fan Ye today, I always feel weird. I don't know if it's my imagination."
Jia Qiang nodded, "Indeed, I feel very different from the last few times I saw him. I wonder if something happened...".
Jia Hao said: "Brother, how about we meet him offline? We are already very familiar with each other, and you have made so much money with him. How about having a dinner together?".
Jia Shuyan raised her head again and did not speak. She just looked at her brother expectantly. Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Of course, if I don't agree, I'm afraid my little sister won't either."
Jia Shuyan smiled and said nothing.
The two brothers Jia Qiang and Jia Hao looked at each other silently, speechless...
After Chen Fan quit the game, he put on a relatively decent plain clothes and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was a girl with pretty short hair and black-rimmed glasses. She seemed to be shorter than Xia Zhuying. She looked Wenwen and quiet, and had a different air.
The girl said straight to the point: "Hello, my name is Ke Lan, I am Xia Zhuying's best friend."
Chen Fan had no choice but to force a smile and reply: "Hello."
Then they stood quietly for a while, and the girl suddenly asked: "Um, how about we go in and talk?".
Chen Fan suddenly understood, and said with an extremely embarrassed expression: "Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please come in.", and then made a welcoming gesture.
But Chen Fan suddenly found that the girl had pulled a large box from the wall. He didn't even notice that there was a familiar and exquisite gift box on it. It was the gift he had prepared for Xia Zhuying that day, a necklace and a star-matching experience.
For a moment, Chen Fan's nose felt a little sore. When he saw the girl dragging those two things to his house, he immediately said loudly:
"If you insist on bringing these two things in, then don't come in! There is no need for us to talk!".
Seeing Chen Fan's reddish eyes and decisive tone, the girl was stunned for a moment, no longer insisted, and said:
"Then let's talk first. We'll talk about these two things later."
"Don't say anything later, take it from me!" Chen Fan was still extremely determined, but the girl did not answer the call and walked into Chen Fan's house first.
Seeing that Ke Lan had entered his house, Chen Fan was a little dazed, but he immediately closed the door. The girl who entered Chen Fan's house looked around Chen Fan's room, then walked straight to Chen Fan's desk and sat down
Go down.
Chen Fan has a big head. Why do you feel like I'm a guest? Why do you feel like I'm at home?
The girl looked at Chen Fan who was still standing at the door and said, "Why don't you sit down?".
Chen Fan was a little speechless. He came over and pulled up a chair opposite her and sat down. He said angrily: "Go ahead."
Ke Lan did not get directly to the topic. Instead, he looked around the room and then said, "The layout of the room here is better than ours over there. It's very clear."
Chen Fan was about to go berserk and said word by word: "Did you say it or not?".
Ke Lan glanced at Chen Fan, who seemed a little angry on his face, couldn't help but smile, and said: "Don't be nervous, I am actually very nervous. I just didn't think about the opening, so I can only pretend to be calm."
After hearing what the girl said, Chen Fan was a little stunned, and thought to himself: "What is going on? Are you nervous? I looked at the way you were strolling around, and you were so nervous."
He had no choice but to say: "Hey, don't tell me. If you don't tell me, I'll go back and play games. I won't waste my time with you."
Ke Lan's eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "I heard from Zhu Ying that you resigned from Star Shell and are now a professional player? I play too. Let's play together when we have time. Our project has formed a small team to level up together.
, I am the vice-captain, can you come in and guide us?”.
Chen Fanzhen was a little angry, "Just leave without saying anything! How can I be in the mood to talk to you about this? You are here to tease me.".
The girl was a little confused when she heard Chen Fan's stern voice. She seemed to have remembered something again and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was so stunned that I forgot why I came today. I'm really sorry, I'll say it now."
Then he sorted out his thoughts and continued: "I know about your relationship with Zhu Ying, she told me about it. But I also know about her previous affairs. She wanted to break it off, but you found out about it by accident.
Well, this is her fault. There is nothing to say. She hurt you. So today I am here to apologize to you on her behalf. Her original words were that she didn’t want you to forgive her. She just wanted to cause you harm.
Apologize for things."
Chen Fan was a little silent, no longer looking at the girl in front of him, and looked down at the ground.
"She and I have been good friends since middle school, and then went to college and then started working. I know her very well. She is a good girl, not bad in nature, but sometimes it is easy to lose sight of what is important and what is important.
matter.".
Chen Fan wanted to laugh a little, "Not bad by nature? Good girl? Hehe...".
The girl continued as if she hadn't heard: "She is a colleague with the man you saw, and that man is her boss. She joined this company after graduating from college, and then became his secretary. And over time,
, Zhu Ying developed a liking for this man, and then the man began to pursue her, and gradually they became together."
Hearing this, Chen Fan slowly clenched his fists, feeling a little angry.
"It was only later that Zhu Ying found out that this man actually had a family. When Zhu Ying found out, he was very angry and wanted to cut off contact with him, and even went to the stage of resigning. But there are always many things that cannot be fulfilled in life.
, when she was leaving her job, her family called her and told her that her mother was ill, very ill, and had spent a lot of money on hospitalization, and more money would be needed for subsequent surgeries.
Her family's economic conditions were average, and Zhu Ying had just started working so she didn't have much savings, and an employer like ours might have more, so I loaned her 70,000 yuan and asked other friends to chip in about 10,000 yuan.
Ten thousand yuan, but it was still a drop in the bucket. By this time, the man also knew about it and flew back to her hometown on a special plane. He advanced nearly 600,000 yuan in medical expenses for Zhu Ying's mother so that Zhu Ying's mother could continue the operation.
The operation was successful. Zhu Ying's mother is still alive and well, but she still needs some simple treatments regularly. Since then, Zhu Ying's resignation has been put on hold, and this relationship has been accepted. The man's promise will be waited for later.
If the company goes well, if he gets promoted again, he will ask his wife to resign and marry Zhu Ying.
Zhu Ying slowly began to believe it, but only later did he discover that this man couldn't live without his wife, because his wife was the sister of the chairman of their company. If he wanted a divorce, he could only get a divorce.
But Zhu Ying was also ready to start over with him, but the man was unwilling and couldn't let go of these things. Then the two had a big fight, and then Zhu Ying took more than half a month of annual leave and came to my place.
I stayed there for more than half a month.
Then I met you...".
Chen Fan felt as if water vapor was filling his eyes again, and a faint sadness began to fill his eyes.
"Actually, Zhu Ying mentioned you to me before, saying that she and her friends had met you and said you were very interesting. Then I met you again during this vacation, and I ate with you, walked with you, went to the mall, and watched movies.
It's a kind of fate. She really likes you, but she can't confess it because of her own affairs. But you pursued her anyway, and the atmosphere and mood made her agree to you in a strange way.
Of course, she originally planned to end her relationship with the man and resign from the company after this vacation. After all, the man did not dare to let outsiders know about this kind of thing. As for money, she had saved maybe 200,000 in these years.
Ask me if I borrowed 400,000 yuan. If you don't believe it, I have EP records of transferring money to her a few days ago.
It's just that you suddenly went to find her that day, bought her a lot of things, and then you saw...that scene...".
Chen Fan could no longer control his tears, lowered his head and covered his face and started crying. Even though the person in front of him was a stranger or a girl, he couldn't care less and couldn't hold back any longer.
The girl saw Chen Fan crying and did not continue to speak. When Chen Fan's sobs gradually subsided, she spoke again: "Many things are not what you saw, including what happened that day. That man and
Zhu Ying said it was the last time and ended with a hug. Zhu Ying did not refuse, but he did not expect what would happen next, let alone that you would see him.
Of course, these things I said have nothing to do with you. You are not wrong. You are the only victim in this matter. So I also said that I am here on behalf of Zhu Ying today not to beg you to get back together, including explaining the following.
These things are all my own, and Zhu Ying does not agree to tell you.
Of course, I'm not saying that she is not wrong. She is wrong and has caused harm to you. But I just hope that you can understand her a little bit from her perspective. We are all adults and it is easy to get together and go away. She is indeed very good.
not easy.".
In the end, Ke Lan stood up and said with great solemnity: "She really likes you, and she is not trying to play with your feelings by stepping on both sides of the fence. But a mistake is a mistake. There is no need to say that I am Zhu Ying's best friend."
Friend, so let me formally apologize to you on her behalf, I’m sorry!”.
After speaking, Ke Lan bowed deeply to Chen Fan, then stood up and looked straight at Chen Fan.
Sadness flowed back into a river, and tears surged like a river bursting its banks. Chen Fan still lowered his head deeply, trying to control his body shape, and then shed tears silently to commemorate this short, beautiful, but painful love.
.
When Chen Fan saw the two tissues handed over by Ke Lan, he stopped feeling sad and tried to control his emotions. Then he took the tissue in his hand and wiped his tears and nose, and then made a dry voice:
"Thank you for coming to me to say this. If you have finished speaking, please leave. I will not send you away. I am an orphan and have never felt family affection, but I alone know that life is not easy. So please help me
Tell her, I am indeed very sad, but I don’t hate her.”
Ke Lan looked at the sad man in front of him and said seriously: "Thank you, I will tell you." Then he turned and left. When he walked to the door, he suddenly remembered something and said again:
"What about gifts for you? Xingchen's high-end version of the experience room and Figoli's necklace are both worth a lot of money...".
Chen Fan still covered his face and replied: "She doesn't like to play games. Please help me give the experience room of Xingchen to Lin Dong. I guess you also asked for my address from him. As for the necklace, that is
I bought it for her. If she insists on not wanting it, just throw it away for me..."
Ke Lan said no more, but took one last deep look at Chen Fan, then turned and left the room.
In the huge room, Chen Fan sat slumped on a chair, staring at the smooth ceiling in a daze. He seemed to see the beautiful figure with a smile like a flower again, and then he smiled bitterly, and a faint voice sounded in the room:
