Chapter Forty-two Reading till Dawn

  Zuo Si's just-adjusted desperate mindset suddenly discovered that he didn't have to die, haha, even this genius was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he had to prostrate himself in gratitude. Who would want to die if they could live?

  Although Zuo Si's thank you was flawless, Ye Qing didn't even get a reward, humph! Now the divine level rubbish king fan system has been upgraded, who made me kick him down just now!

  Just as Zuo Si was kneeling on the ground thanking him, Ye Qing asked: "Was it me who saved you?"

  Zuo Si nodded respectfully and said: "Yes!"

  Then Ye Qing said a sentence lightly, and Zuo Si was immediately petrified there.

  Yè Qīng said faintly: "I regret it now, you have to jump again!"

  Zuo Si must have gone mad, sobbing and saying: "Are you even human? You saved me, I've already thanked you with the most solemn etiquette of Huaxia, kneeling on the ground... Wuuu..."

  Ye Qing directly knelt down and kowtowed three times to Zuo Si, saying: "Alright, I've also used the most solemn etiquette of Huaxia to thank you. Hurry up and jump again, let's get going, I'm in a hurry!"

  "Are you a god or a devil? I don't want to die now!"

  Ye Qing was too lazy to nag him again, so he directly grabbed him and in the blink of an eye flew to the top of the skyscraper. Ye Qing said coldly: "Meeting me is also a chance for you, I'll give you three seconds to consider, if you don't jump, I'm leaving!"

  Zuo Si was originally a sentimental child, with full marks in Chinese during the middle school entrance examination. Zuo Si's essay moved the teachers who graded papers to tears. The choice questions were perfect, and the answers to the subjective questions were more thorough and comprehensive than the reference answers, so they had to give him full marks. They even wanted to give him extra points, but unfortunately, they didn't have that authority.

  Zuo Si's math and science scores are perfect, his history and geography scores are close to perfect. His IQ is extremely high, and he has a delicate emotional sensitivity. It's because of this that his love life is a mess, to the point where he wants to jump off a building. Thinking about his own weakness, Zuo Si again feels the urge to jump off a building. Wang Junxia is so mature, so skilled at dressing up, and so good at understanding people, but asking a weak high school student like him to duel with the academic tyrant Huang Da Chui, Zuo Si would rather jump off a building.

  Of course, these thoughts didn't even last a second, Zuo Si had already considered everything. There were still two seconds left, to jump or not to jump?

  It's better to die cleanly by jumping off a building than to become someone else's plaything in such a weak manner, and with this godly person by my side, would I really be able to die?

  Zuo Si's brain was spinning at high speed, from Qu Yuan facing the Chu State and throwing himself into the Miluo River to the great scholar Wang Guowei drowning in Kunming Lake, from Emperor Chongzhen hanging himself on Mount Mei to Hitler shooting himself in his underground palace, from Ruan Lingyu to Yan Huizhu, from Wong Kar-wai to Leslie Cheung, from Hai Zi to Gu Cheng, from Ernest Hemingway to Yasunari Kawabata, and from Marilyn Monroe to Cleopatra VII. Of course, of course, these thoughts, for this brilliant Zuo Si, took only one second.

  Huh, people who are overly sentimental and jump off buildings are really troublesome. Zuo Si thought of the hopeful eyes of his fellow villagers in Zuo Ci ancient town again, that kind of hope accumulated over a thousand years, hoping he could become a fish-dragon gate and lead his fellow villagers to experience happiness. Before he left, his fellow villagers sent him off with eggs on a ten-mile long street, stopping and starting repeatedly. Zuo Si, you bastard, how can you betray such heavy expectations?

  Her own sister, in order to earn tuition fees for herself, forced her fiancé's family to break up and now is still nowhere to be found. Her father was so angry that he died, and my poor mother, who worked hard all her life but had no one to see her off at the end of her life. The image etched in Zuo Si's soul was that of his own mother happily raising a hen that laid eggs for his classmates...

  Then, Zuo Si jumped down. The bleak night wind ravaged Zuo Si's thin body, a bright meteor streaked across the sky, and fell a few drops of sorrowful dew, as if mourning for this not-yet-rising Wenqu star.

  Three women's faces kept changing in Zuo Si's mind, sometimes Wang Junxia stayed a little longer, sometimes her sister stayed a little longer, but how long could it be? Not as long as the heavens and the earth, not as long as the ages, without the sea drying up or the stones rotting away, nor was it possible to have the vast ocean turning into mulberry fields. The image frozen in Zuo Si's mind before a blank space was still his mother's face working in the fields.

  Ye Qing would never let Zuo Si die, dying would still earn him a lot of fan value.

  Zuo Si's brain went from blank to chaotic, is this the rhythm of becoming a nervous wreck? Ye Qing stood quietly, her heart was also anxious, damn it, I've spent so much effort, you little brat better not be rude! Zuo Si shook his head and patted his body to make sure everything was intact, then he kowtowed and said: "God, thank you for saving my life, I, Zuo Si, yearn to be as strong as you, please take me in, this poor mortal!" Ye Qing's light words made Zuo Si collapse to the ground, panting heavily.

  Ye Qing excitedly received the three fan values he had just obtained. This was real urban life, not his own isolated online world. Suddenly, he got three fan values. What's this guy's name, Zuo Si? He's really good! Ye Qing casually said: "Not bad, not bad, you even know how to thank me, otherwise you'd have to jump again!"

  Zuo Si lay on the ground with a silly smile, his heart was even more chaotic, excited, dizzy, fearful, grateful and so on.

  Ye Qing was in the fan management area of Shi Hai, admiring Zuo Si's fan-made blue orb. Ye Qing had never seen such a pure and clean blue orb before, giving off an air of solemn reverence and pure beauty.

  Ye Qing decided to immediately pass on the nameless oral formula to this simple-minded young man, thinking that since his fan was so pure and clean, his character probably wouldn't be too bad either!

  Ye Qing planned to ask about his family situation, so he passed on an anonymous rhyme to him.

  "Introduce yourself," Ye Qing said quietly.

  Zuo Si immediately got up, bowed to Ye Qing and said: "Little disciple Zuo Si, the left of the left, the thought of the thought, my hometown is Zuoci Ancient Town, there is only my mother at home, originally had a sister, ran away from home!"

  Ye Qing asked thoughtfully, "Do you know Zuo Meng?"

  Zuo Si immediately became excited and his whole body trembled as he said: "Master, do you know my sister? Is she okay? Where is she? We all miss her so much!"

  Ye Qing grasped Zuo Si's wrist, a strand of gentle true energy entering, and Zuo Si suddenly felt a refreshing sensation, that feeling was very strange, as if his five viscera had been purified.

  Ye Qing saw that Zuo Si's emotions had stabilized and said: "She's fine, I'll tell you about it slowly. What time is it now?"

  Zuo Si took out his phone and said, "It's 11:50, my time is five minutes slow!"

  Ye Qing shouted: "Ah, quickly tell me, where is there an internet cafe around here?"

  Zuo Si's idealized image of Ye Qing should be an extremely mysterious figure, at the very least a reclusive master. As soon as he heard him ask about time, Zuo Si felt secretly delighted, thinking that he was indeed a transcendent being from another world. But then Ye Qing said something that made Zuo Si doubt his own judgment.

  However, Zuo Si soon reaffirmed his judgment, and Ye Qing had already sandwiched Zuo Si under his ribs and flown into the air.

  Zuo Si was excited and foolishly shouting, this behavior is normal, Ye Qing has seen it before, but now Ye Qing is in a hurry, directly transmitted another strand of clear spirit to Zuo Si, which made him calm down.

  Zuo Si's IQ is indeed not comparable to Tie Niu. He immediately led the way and found a small internet cafe for Ye Qing. Zuo Si easily found an available computer, which surprised Ye Qing. At this time, the small internet cafe was packed with people, many of whom were waiting in line for overnight gaming sessions. Ye Qing had already prepared to take out some cash, but unexpectedly, Zuo Si turned out to be somewhat useful after all!

  Zuo Si's hands deftly reached into the computer cabinet, fiddled with it for a moment, and the computer suddenly had power. Ye Qing saw through his divine sense that the plugs of both the host and monitor were loose, obviously done by Zuo Si. Ordinary people wouldn't have the patience to loosen the plugs of both the host and monitor, even if someone occasionally loosened one of them, they would give up after seeing it was useless.

  Ye Qing now knows that Zuo Si is not as innocent and carefree as his fan Xiao Qiu. But being able to get online early is a good thing after all, there are only three minutes left until midnight!

  Quickly turned on the computer, entered the member's account and password, opened Baidu browser, and then stood up neatly to give way. The whole process, including the computer boot time, took only 58 seconds.

  Ye Qing's divine sense split out a thread to lock onto the electronic clock on the internet cafe's wall, calculating the time with every second counting. Finally, at three seconds before midnight, he uploaded the 21st chapter of "God Level Trash King".

  Ye Qing, who had a bit of OCD, carefully checked the upload time of the latest chapter and found it to be 23:59:59. What the heck, this internet cafe's electronic clock was slow by two seconds, how lame! Fortunately, no big deal was missed.

  Zuo Si's shoulders trembled with excitement as he said, "You're the author of 'God-level Trash King', Huo Xi? The madman who updated 20 chapters a day?"

  "Just knowing is enough, don't shout it out, I'm a low-key person!"

  Zuo Si was excitedly pacing back and forth behind Ye Qing's chair, he really couldn't bear this surprise, it was even more exciting than when he didn't die from jumping off the building.

  Originally, Ye Qing wanted to carefully appreciate his fans and book reviews, but with Zuo Si turning around behind him, he became annoyed and distracted. Moreover, in this public internet cafe, he didn't have the mood to continue surfing the web anymore.

  Yeh Ching directly shut down the computer and stood up saying: "Let's go, it seems that if I don't invite you to a midnight snack, this stubborn donkey of yours will keep turning!"

  Zuo Si heard that Ye Qing had finally decided to leave the internet cafe, and he didn't even listen to what Ye Qing said afterwards, just nodding repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"

  Hahaha...

  The internet cafe was full of idle people, and when they heard that Zuo Si had stayed up all night to study, he would rather admit that he was a stubborn donkey, and they burst out laughing.

  Ye Qing and Zuo Si, of course, would not bother with these idle people, and quickly left the small internet cafe.

  Early summer midnight, cool breeze. Zhongning night market, a mess everywhere. Abandoned bamboo skewers, chopsticks and trash bags are scattered all over the place. Ye Qing felt like she had returned to several years ago in Yanjing, there was also a small street like this behind the north gate of Yanzhong, at that time internet cafes were not yet popular, weekends renting a thick book, snuggling under the quilt, reading till dawn.
