Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

#138 - Chapter 138 I am standing on the other side of the sea

Li Chenqiu stopped upon hearing this and looked in the direction of the voice, where he saw a young man placing his luggage.

The young man was squatting at bunk 082, not even glancing at Li Chenqiu.

Li Chenqiu looked up at the bunk number above the young man—083.

"Thank you," Li Chenqiu said politely, stepping over to the young man and squatting down, placing his suitcase under the bed.

He glanced out of the corner of his eye at the slightly pale young man beside him, and a faint ripple appeared in his eyes when he saw that familiar profile.

An indescribable warmth spread through his chest with the beating of his heart, like a warm spring breeze, pulling him back to the spring of a few years ago.

At that time, he was called Chen Xiu, and everything was peaceful, but later everything changed…

Suddenly, a tearing sensation came from his mind.

"Um…"

Li Chenqiu, who was squatting on the ground, frowned and subconsciously held his forehead with his hand, gradually increasing the pressure with his fingers.

Qi Mingyue, who was squatting beside him, paused and quickly turned to look at Li Chenqiu: "What… what's wrong with you?"

Li Chenqiu lowered his hand, and his brow slowly relaxed: "I'm fine."

Qi Mingyue's tense body gradually relaxed, and he said with a smile: "It's good that you're okay."

Saying that, Qi Mingyue turned his head and tentatively asked: "You saved my life on North Huang Mountain last time. I haven't had a chance to thank you properly yet. Let me treat you to a meal at noon, okay?"

Li Chenqiu refused outright: "There's no need for a meal. It was just something I did without thinking. You don't have to take it to heart."

Qi Mingyue pursed his lips into a straight line, and after a few seconds, the corners of his mouth curved upwards, and he said calmly: "Okay, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes," Li Chenqiu nodded.

Qi Mingyue lowered his head, looked at his fingers, and said:

"There were two people who had a very good relationship, one named Feng and one named Yu. One night, Feng robbed a gold store because he was short of money and was wanted throughout the city. To avoid capture, Feng changed his appearance and fled to another city.

In a certain month of a certain year, Yu came to a coastal city for work, where he saw someone who looked very much like Feng.

Yu stood a hundred meters away from Feng, watching him for a long time, and then… then there was no then. This movie is called 'I Stand on the Opposite Shore of the Sea', and it's an open-ended movie. Do you think Yu finally stepped forward?"

Li Chenqiu was silent for a few seconds, and said casually: "If Yu only cares about himself, he will go forward to find Feng. If the other person is really Feng, then Feng will never be able to live a peaceful life, because he is a wanted criminal, and Yu exposed him.

If Yu cares about Feng, then he will leave silently and never come to this city, living on the opposite shore of the sea."

Li Chenqiu stood up and looked down at Qi Mingyue, saying:

"This movie is not really an open-ended movie, because its name has already made it very clear, 'I Stand on the Opposite Shore of the Sea'. Yu left. If he had stepped forward, this movie should be called 'I Stop on the Opposite Shore of the Sea'."

Qi Mingyue's eyebrows curved slightly: "I'm so stupid. I thought this movie was an open-ended movie. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After saying that, Li Chenqiu jumped lightly onto his bunk and pulled up his curtain.

Qi Mingyue squatted in place, silently packing his luggage, repeatedly folding a piece of clothing, then messing it up, and folding it again…

At the same time, those in the carriage who were still immersed in their dreams were awakened by the noise and pulled open their curtains to look at the aisle.

"Hmm~ Why did the train stop? Have we arrived at City 100 yet?"

"Your brain is mush from sleeping, aren't you dreaming that you've already reached the peak?"

"Where are we? Are they also people participating in the assessment?"

Zhou Qinshu yawned, pulled open the curtain and stuck his head out, reaching out and poking a young man who had just boarded the train and was packing his luggage.

"Brother, are you also participating in the assessment?"

"Yes," the young man nodded: "What's the matter?"

Zhou Qinshu revealed a friendly smile: "Brother, can I ask you, what city is this?"

The young man placed the folded clothes on the bed, looked up and said: "This is City 11."

"So it's City 11… Wait!" Zhou Qinshu suddenly widened his eyes: "City 11, then… then is Li Chenqiu here too?"

The young man smiled smugly, and said with a calm face: "Yes, but why are you so excited? I see him every day and I don't think there's anything special about Li Chenqiu!"

When he said this, he completely forgot how he looked when he sang the support song in front of Li Chenqiu earlier.

Zhou Qinshu stretched out half of his body and grabbed the young man's arm: "Big brother, where is he?"

"There." The young man raised his hand and pointed to Li Chenqiu's bunk: "083."

"Thank you, big brother!" Zhou Qinshu said excitedly, shaking off the fatigue of just waking up.

My support has arrived!

The news of Li Chenqiu quickly spread throughout the carriage, and more and more people's eyes gathered on bunk 083.

But because Li Chenqiu had pulled up the curtain, people could only see a black shadow shaking behind the curtain.

"Damn, that's the big shot who killed the six-restriction awakened beast!"

"He can kill even six-restriction beasts. Is the academy's brain muddled? They're letting us take the assessment with this kind of person?"

"Brother, aren't you very worshipful of Li Chenqiu? Why don't you go over and say hello?"

"He's already pulled up the curtain. It's not good to go over and say hello, right?"

"What's wrong with that? He's not sleeping. Don't be afraid!"

"Why don't you go up and say hello?"

"Because I'm afraid!"

……

Li Chenqiu ignored the noise from the outside world and vigilantly surveyed his surroundings.

He hadn't forgotten what he had said to Xiang Nanzhi earlier.

"What's wrong?"

Li Chenqiu stretched out his finger and touched the window glass, then put it to his nose and smelled it.

The next second, Li Chenqiu's brows furrowed instantly. He smelled… he smelled the smell of stinky socks.

Li Chenqiu took his finger away and wiped it with a wet wipe, muttering to himself: "Is this guy lying to me?"

After this period of time together, he had a general understanding of Xiang Nanzhi.

This guy is kind of silly, has a mean mouth, and his behavior is annoying. In general, he's just a fool, just like his second brother.

Just then, Xiang Nanzhi stuck his head into the curtain and asked cautiously: "Brother Li Chenqiu, what are you thinking about? Can I sing 'Thank You, Li Chenqiu' with you?"

"Can you get out?" Li Chenqiu said in a deep voice.

"I won't get out!" Xiang Nanzhi stuck out his tongue, grabbed the railing and jumped directly onto Li Chenqiu's bed: "If you have the ability, get me down, come on, come on~"

Xiang Nanzhi patted his butt.

"Xiang Nanzhi, were you lying to me just now?" Li Chenqiu asked in a deep voice.

Xiang Nanzhi smiled and didn't speak, breathed on the window, and wrote a word on it with his finger.
