Chapter 123 Previous Life
"Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu, it's time to get off work, and you're still sleeping!"
A familiar voice sounded, and Zhu Yuncheng opened his eyes in a daze. Seeing the black-haired man in front of him, he was stunned at first, then suddenly stood up and looked around.
In the spacious floor, desks are neatly arranged. People are sitting there with their heads down, their eyes fixed on the data on the computer screens. Some are gritting their teeth and frowning, while others are relaxing and drinking tea.
"I..." Zhu Yuncheng looked down at his white and black casual clothes, then took out his cell phone from his arms and unlocked it, and Ganyu's dynamic wallpaper appeared in front of him.
"I'm back?" Zhu Yuncheng was confused. He looked at his colleague and master beside him, "Old Ruan, what year is it this year?"
"Ha, what are you playing at? This year is 4202!" At the same time, Lao Ruan glared, "The blessing of has been abolished by the country. Now it is the era of am to pm."
Hearing the jokes of familiar people, Zhu Yuncheng did not smile at all. He walked to the window and looked at the tall buildings, the rushing traffic, and the coming and going of people outside. His mind could not stop recalling the scenes in Guili, the arrogant master, the fat ball Ganyu, the emperor, Guizhong, Marcosius, Ningkuan, Zhuxie...
"Is it a dream?" Zhu Yuncheng felt lost.
"Hey, kid, are you okay? How come you look like this after waking up from a nap?" Old Ruan put his arm around Zhu Yuncheng's shoulders from behind, "Let's go to the night market and have something delicious today."
"Lao Ruan, I had a dream, a very real dream. I dreamed that I traveled through the world of Genshin Impact."
"Come on!" Old Ruan interrupted Zhu Yuncheng, "What era is it now? You're still playing time travel. I think you've just fallen asleep and become stupid."
"No, I'm not stupid. That dream was too real." Zhu Yuncheng said, "It was so real that it felt like I had experienced it myself."
"You have experienced it yourself. Let me ask you, did you open a harem? Did you take your Gan Yu Ling Hua Hu Tao into the harem?" Old Ruan couldn't stop rolling his eyes.
"No, I traveled through time to before the Demon God War..."
"Xiao Zhu!" Lao Ruan interrupted Zhu Yuncheng again, "I know it's your first day at work, and it's normal to feel tired. You'll be fine once you get used to it. Come on, I'll treat you tonight. Let's go have a drink and then go home."
"Okay." Zhu Yuncheng nodded, then he and Lao Ruan came to the company garage and were about to drive their own car.
"Take my car and save some gas!" Old Ruan said as he drove out in his own car. Zhu Yuncheng sat in the passenger seat without hesitation.
Step on the clutch, turn the key, shift gears, release the clutch, step on the accelerator, and the car slowly drives out of the garage.
"Xiao Zhu, it's normal for you to be so tired." Old Ruan looked at Zhu Yuncheng's melancholy expression and said, "I've been working for five or six years at your age, and I'm used to it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to reason with you, I'm telling you the truth!"
Lao Ruan took advantage of the traffic light to light himself a cigarette, took a puff and blew out a smoke ring: "At the age of fifteen or sixteen, you have just graduated from junior high school. You don't know anything. You only know to make money and fill your stomach. Anyway, you have a lot of strength, so you can do anything you can do, and you are not afraid of hardship. But when it comes to your generation, you are already twenty-three or twenty-four years old just to graduate from school. You have lived a life of having everything you want for yourself for more than ten years, and now you are suddenly told that you have graduated and you have to work hard on your own.
Your generation is called college students, but you are picky about work. You want high salaries but also want more rest. You complain of being tired after working for a few days.
"Old Ruan, this is different." Zhu Yuncheng shook his head gently. "When you were working, your parents were still able to work for themselves, but for our generation, our parents are almost ready to retire after graduation. They don't have much savings, so they look forward to me taking care of them in their old age."
"Then work harder and be more diligent." Old Ruan shook his head. "You are too pampered. In Shenzhou, there are many ways to make money, but enduring hardship is the most stable."
Zhu Yuncheng smiled and stopped talking. This is the so-called generation gap.
The countdown for the red light ended, the green light came on, and Lao Ruan began to release the clutch and prepare to start.
Zhu Yuncheng saw a car running a red light and heading towards him.
"boom!"
At this moment, an explosion sounded in Zhu Yuncheng's ears. He had no time to react. He only felt his body become light and fluttery.
-
People say that when a person dies it is like a light going out. After death, one can feel nothing and does not know about the so-called Naihe Bridge, Mengpo Soup, or the afterlife.
But at this moment, Zhu Yuncheng knew that he was indeed dead.
He saw Lao Ruan's car being smashed, saw the crowds of people coming from all directions to take pictures, and saw the traffic police and doctors arriving late.
In the end, he saw his parents with gray hair.
At this moment, Zhu Yuncheng's heart beat suddenly and a feeling of discomfort surged from his heart.
My parents are old and are about to retire. They are just waiting for me to start working so that I can take care of them in their old age!
"Xiao Yun, why did you leave? How can I live with you?"
The mother threw herself on the coffin and cried her heart out.
"Zhu Yuncheng, you bastard!"
His father growled, his eyes filled with sorrow.
Seeing a loved one die is an unbearable pain no matter what era it is.
Zhu Yuncheng was filled with grief and shouted loudly, "Dad! Mom!"
However, no one heard his shout.
At this moment, Zhu Yuncheng regretted why he was troubled by that real dream. He should have run away earlier when he encountered danger. Even if he didn't run, he would be safe as long as he didn't get out of the car!
His parents cried heartbreakingly. Zhu Yuncheng felt extremely painful, but no tears came out. He could only beat his head to vent his anger helplessly.
"!"
As Zhu Yuncheng felt regretful, he suddenly saw a ray of light appear in front of him.
Looking at this ray of light, Zhu Yuncheng gently held it in his palm.
The next second, the scene in front of him suddenly changed and appeared in a room. An old man with white hair and a thin face appeared in front of him.
"This is, me?" The moment he saw the old man, the memories in Zhu Yuncheng's mind suddenly became clear. Yes, this was him. It was not a dream but reality. He really traveled through time and space to Guili, became the King of Men, and then died in the war with the alliance of the seven demon gods to invade Guili. Before he died, he was still trying to break through the third stage of Taixu Yin and Yang Record and transform.
"It's all over."
Zhu Yuncheng smiled bitterly. His previous life had been buried, and his present life had also died of old age.
The lives in both worlds have ended, and now he has nothing left.
"It's just that I'm unwilling to accept this. In my previous life, I didn't let my parents spend their old age in peace. In this life, I haven't made Guili the most powerful country in Teyvat. I haven't seen Guizhong and Marcosius live to the future Liyue. I'm unwilling to accept this!"
Zhu Yuncheng shouted in despair. He took a step forward and rushed towards his body. He wanted to return to his body. He wanted to break through the third stage of Taixu Yin Yang Record. He wanted to survive!
