"what?"
The woman paused slightly, "You want to add me on WeChat?"
"Sis, I think you have a really good presence."
Looking at the woman, Su Jie said the words he had repeated countless times in his heart, "You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, and I want to add you on WeChat."
Although he said it aloud, his face still couldn't help but turn red when he struck up a conversation with a strange girl for the first time.
"Ha ha--"
A boy's blush speaks louder than a long dialogue; the woman couldn't help but smile. "How old are you this year?"
Su Jie replied truthfully, "I'm twenty-three. I graduated from university a year ago."
The woman asked, "Are you a Gen Z?"
Su Jie replied, "He was born in 2000, specifically in 2001."
"Okay, let's add each other on WeChat."
The woman took out her phone. "I'll scan your QR code."
Unexpectedly, it went so smoothly. Su Jie took out his Xiaomi phone and opened his WeChat profile.
The woman swiped lightly, and he received her friend request—"Ink-dyed Years requests to add you as a friend."
A name that is somewhat ancient, yet full of poetic charm!
Su Jie looked at his WeChat name—"Fried Chicken and Cola".
Somewhat naive.
He quickly deleted it and then typed a period.
A period is an end, but also a new beginning.
"Little brother, I'm leaving!"
The woman smiled and gently waved her phone, "Contact me on WeChat if you need anything."
Su Jie instinctively offered a polite reply, "I'll treat you to dinner next time."
The woman nodded. "Okay!"
Seeing that the woman was really about to leave, Su Jie suddenly asked, "Sister, what's your name?"
The woman stopped, turned around, and gently brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "My name is Xu Qingman. What's yours?"
Su Jie smiled and said, "My name is Su Jie!"
Watching the woman disappear into the vast crowd, Su Jie felt not only a sense of accomplishment from breaking through his own limitations, but also a sense of loss and regret.
[The Brave Challenge round has ended. The host has gained 85 points of pleasure and received the blessing of the God of Bravery, rewarding him with one million yuan!]
One million?
The voice that suddenly appeared in his mind pulled Su Jie out of his sense of loss.
My phone vibrated slightly; it was a text message from the bank.
"On May 13th at 16:39, card ending in 5764 received an ICBC deposit of 1,000,000.00 yuan (from another bank), leaving a balance of 1,014,683.93 yuan. [ICBC]"
It really is one million!
Looking at that long string of zeros, Su Jie was incredibly excited.
Just one brave challenge, and the reward is a million dollars.
If you try it a hundred times, wouldn't that be a small goal?
Su Jie forced himself to calm his excited heart.
He has a long road ahead of him and he can't afford to have a heart attack here.
The other passengers on the same high-speed train had already left, and Su Jie walked at the very end, unhurriedly.
He took out his phone, opened WeChat, and checked Xu Qingman's Moments.
He's very curious about this woman now.
Upon opening his WeChat Moments, Su Jie was immediately stunned.
He hadn't looked closely enough; this woman is no ordinary person!
The posts on WeChat Moments are just the tip of the iceberg, yet they reveal many extraordinary things.
Villas, luxury cars, famous watches—all sorts of high-end luxury goods he had only ever seen online.
Most importantly, these things are just supporting elements in the posts on social media, just a part of the other person's sharing and recording of their life. The main focus is on hiking, enjoying the scenery, and tasting tea.
In these photos, the high-end luxury goods are simply displayed in inconspicuous places, without any deliberate ostentation, and are quite insignificant.
The life he couldn't imagine was just someone else's daily routine.
Su Jie knew he had met a truly wealthy woman!
He opened his WeChat messages and sent a message: "Sis, you're so rich!"
He has no other thoughts right now; he just has to get it off his chest and wants to compliment the other person on being rich!
I waited for a while, but he didn't reply to my message.
Su Jie didn't care.
Although he longed to have some kind of story with Xu Qingman, he now had a million.
Xu Qingman is rich, but if you don't spend her money, she's useless.
Moreover, looking at their social media posts, the other person is traveling all over the country all year round, and I don't know if we'll ever meet again.
Suppressing his excitement, Su Jie scanned the code and boarded Metro Line 2.
He graduated from university a year ago and is currently working in Dongyang District.
I studied computer programming in college and then worked as a data engineer in a machinery factory.
It sounds prestigious, but the salary is only six thousand a month.
The reason I took leave to go back to my hometown this time was because my grandmother suddenly passed away.
The old man lived to be over ninety years old, which is considered a happy death in the local area.
Therefore, the family members were not so sad.
However, since his ex-girlfriend Zhou Lan did not return, he inevitably faced criticism from his relatives.
However, that's all in the past.
He will have a prettier and gentler girlfriend in the future.
There were no seats on the subway, and Su Jie, still basking in the joy of earning a million, gripped the handrail.
He can only enjoy this joy alone now and cannot share it with others for the time being.
He'll find another reason to share this joy with his parents when he goes back to his hometown next time.
Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone about the system.
"Family members, this is the last wave of perks!"
"I'll count to three. This is the last wave of perks, so grab the opportunity and get on board now!"
……
Just as Su Jie was thinking about where to eat later, a shrill sound rang out in the carriage.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a male passenger sitting down watching a live stream on Douyin.
Not only did they watch Douyin live streams, but they also turned the volume up to the maximum.
Su Jie noticed that the people around him frowned and looked at him with a hint of disgust.
No one likes this kind of uncivilized behavior.
Many people simply choose to avoid trouble and opt for forbearance.
In the past, Su Jie would have tolerated it.
But now, he can't tolerate even a little bit!
Approaching the man, Su Jie said directly, "Could you please turn your voice down, or put on your headphones?"
The man glanced at it, ignored it, and continued to do as he pleased.
"Family members, get on the bus, get on the bus!"
"Family members, get on the bus quickly!"
Being ignored was intolerable for Aunt Su Jie, but not for Uncle Su Jie. "Could you please turn your voice down a bit? You're disturbing everyone."
"No one else said it was noisy, but you're the only one who said it was noisy?"
The man looked impatient. "If they say it's noisy, I'll lower my voice. It's none of your business!"
Su Jie looked around again and found that everyone was looking at him, but no one stood up to support him.
Seeing that no one spoke, the man became smug.
"No one else on the bus finds it noisy, only you do."
"Sometimes, you should consider whether the problem lies with yourself?"
Su Jie finally asked, "Can you turn your phone volume down?"
"Don't shut it down!"
The man said smugly, "None of your business. Mind your own business."
"I won't shut it down, what can you do to me?"
Su Jie took out his phone. "I can't do anything to you, but you can't do anything to me either."
As he spoke, he turned on his phone's music player, turned the volume up to the maximum, and then tapped it lightly.
In an instant, a high-energy DJ intro started playing, instantly drowning out the sound from the man's live stream on his phone.
"The vast horizon is my love, and flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills..."
Not only did Su Jie play his phone at maximum volume, but he also started singing loudly as if no one else was around.
"What kind of rhythm is the most swaying, what kind of singing is the most joyful...?"
