This place is fun

Chapter 100 Voice of the Heart
Wow, the tea tastes so rich.

Su Daoshan asked with a half-smile: "Why?"

When a woman, especially a young and beautiful girl from a good family, says such words in such a soft tone, most boys would probably not be able to bear it.

What's even more amazing is that Su Daoshan could tell that Yue Zhen's tone and expression were not deliberately expressed. Instead, it was as if she had let go of some kind of disguise and it was revealed naturally. She was afraid that she herself was not even aware of the ambiguity of this sentence.

"Because it wasn't until today that I realized that you are not the Su Daoshan in the eyes of others. That silly nerd is just what you pretend to be," Yue Zhen bit her lip, "and looking at myself from you, I feel that I may not necessarily be the me that you think I am..."

Su Daoshan looked at her with some surprise.

Yue Zhen smiled faintly and said, "Growing up, I have been regarded as a daughter of a wealthy family with luxurious clothes and delicious food in the eyes of others. My father, mother, and brother are all very kind to me. Others also surround me and try to please me, for fear of making me angry. But..."

She cast her gaze into the distance, her expression confused for a moment: "They decided everything for me. What I should do, what I shouldn't do, who to marry, who not to marry... I didn't even know that they didn't like me until later."

Su Daoshan touched his nose.

"Growing up, I actually didn't have many things I could decide on my own," Yue Zhen said, "Yishan City is so small, and I only have a few friends around me. Year after year, day after day, it seems... it seems..."

She frowned, unable to think of how to describe it.

"It feels like I'm trapped in a small cage, and I can see the end of my life at a glance." Su Daoshan said.

Yue Zhen looked at him in surprise. She had kept these words in her heart for a long time. Not to mention her father and brother, even the few young ladies from aristocratic families she was close to found it difficult to understand. But she didn't expect that this nerd who she thought was the least likely to understand her could actually hit the nail on the head.

Su Daoshan sighed in his heart.

It's not that he is so considerate, it's just that he has seen too many divorce cases in the original world, so he naturally understands some of it. There are very few young people in the original world with a mentality like Yue Zhen. That world is too rich, with too many unknowns and possibilities.

People can travel to faraway places, see countless landscapes, and meet different people.

But after the age of 30, after getting married and having children, life becomes fixed. Going to work, going home, taking care of children, dealing with the daily necessities of life. There is no time or energy for drinking, clubbing, poetry and distant places.

Life is like a tumbling train that has entered a downward channel. Not only can you see the end at a glance, but it is still tumbling.

So many people became unwilling to give up and wanted to struggle. So they untied their restraints, wanted to spread their wings and fly freely in the wind... and then they were thrown away. In the end, they were either shattered to pieces or left in a mess.

However, no matter how boring the original world is, it cannot be compared to this world.

In this world, people are trapped in isolated cities, just like frogs in a well, lacking both material and spiritual needs.

In the original world, a girl of 16 or 17 years old would still be a middle school student whose life had just begun and had infinite possibilities. But in this world, she could already see the end at a glance.

Especially for a rich girl like Yue Zhen. On the surface, she seemed to be well-dressed and well-fed, with many stars around her. But in reality, she was trapped in that small town and in a marriage that was arranged when she was only seventeen years old.

Even before the marriage was even started, she was already bound by an invisible hand. Not only did Zhou Qinghe regard her as a forbidden fruit. Even after the marriage that did not exist in the first place fell through, the idle people in Yishan City were still pointing fingers behind her back.

If this were told to other people, perhaps many people would say that compared to those refugees outside the city who couldn't even get enough food, Yue Zhen's life was already in heaven.

But only Su Daoshan could understand.

Because compared to Yue Zhen's life, his life in his previous life was hundreds and thousands of times richer both spiritually and materially.

You can eat different food all your life, have so many technological products, have a rich entertainment life, and go wherever you want... It should be considered a paradise in paradise. In ancient times, even the emperor would not have such a good life.

But so what? Everyone still has their own troubles, pain and anger.

This is the seven emotions and six desires of being born as a human being, and no one can get rid of it. Therefore, at this moment, Su Daoshan's heart is full of empathy and understanding. Even at this moment, Yue Zhen in front of him is distinguished from other people in this world.

She seems to be from the same era as Su Daoshan, because they both have the stupidest and most beautiful characteristics of their era.

Pretentious!

"Do you know what I was thinking when I heard Zhou Qinghe ask me who I was leaving with?" Yue Zhen asked.

Su Daoshan shook his head.

"At that time, I suddenly realized that I could make a decision for myself." Yue Zhen's eyes sparkled. "If my father or brother were here, they would definitely choose Zhou Qinghe's side. Just like Wang Mingzhe. They always weigh the pros and cons... But I don't want to. I want to do the opposite. Why should I do the same as them when this is my only chance to make the decision?"

"Besides," Yue Zhen's tone became more and more excited, with a touch of pink on her cheeks, "Why does Zhou Qinghe treat me as his thing? Why does he force me to make a choice? Why should I be Yue Zhen in their eyes? I am born to despise the poor and love the rich, to curry favor with the powerful, and to be fickle. Is that not okay? I just want to choose according to my own feelings. I just want to see him get angry and call me a bitch..."

Yue Zhen spoke very quickly, and then stopped abruptly. Her eyes wandered to the empty space in front of her, and she slowly put her hand over her mouth, looking a little silly...

Su Daoshan was also stunned.

"You are not only rebellious, but also bitchy and masochistic!"

Although Su Daoshan knew that Yue Zhen's mentality would change after she had just experienced a life-threatening disaster, he did not expect that the daughter of the Yue family would smash her pure white and delicate crystal shell to pieces. In fact, at another time and in another place, Su Daoshan believed that Yue Zhen would not be able to say these words.

These were secrets hidden deep in her heart, secrets that even she herself might not understand clearly. Originally, all of this would be buried deep underground like a fallen tree, gradually carbonizing and turning into a black coal layer that could not be touched.

Over the years, not to mention outsiders, even the owner herself will gradually forget these things as she plays the role of a good daughter, a good sister, and a good wife for a long time.

But what happened today made her break away from the track that bound her. The change in mentality after surviving the disaster, the uneasiness of the unknown future, the rebelliousness of breaking free from the shackles, plus the strong desire to confide... Then, a spark ignited the coal seam!
Of course, Su Daoshan knew that his role was also indispensable.

In Yue Zhen's eyes, he used to be just a silly nerd. But today, she discovered his hidden secret.

Therefore, deep down, this was a secret exchange. Especially when this person saved her when she was most desperate and embarrassed, gave her clothes to wear, and understood her so well...

Therefore, after Su Daoshan added the sentence “I can see the end at a glance”, Yue Zhen’s confession was like a flood that broke through the dam.

"Bitch...Is this something I can listen to for free?" Su Daoshan pursed his lips tightly, looked tense, and turned away. He didn't dare to look Yue Zhen in the eye.

Just at this moment, his eyes fixed.

In the distance, Liu Song took action.

First, another Zhou family guard stabbed Wang Mingzhe in the vest, and then Liu Song also sneak attacked the Wang family guard.

The Wang family guard reacted very quickly, but Liu Song was much stronger than him, and he was unintentional. The first blow of his sword shook his sword away, and the second blow chopped off his head.

Su Daoshan actually guessed that Liu Song would not let Wang Mingzhe and the other two go.

Since the Zhou family had done something like this, they could not keep two witnesses. No matter how the lawsuit went on in the future, at least the hidden dangers had to be cleared up first.

Moreover, Liu Song and the others probably knew that they could not rely on Wang Mingzhe and the others. Even if they caught up with them later, the two Wangs would probably be rowing on the side... Since they were not useful and had to worry about it, of course they would strike first.

This is the rule of this dark jungle world. Su Daoshan has only been here for ten days and has already adapted to this cruel logic. However, Wang Mingzhe and his guards are only concerned with their own little calculations, which is too naive and too slow.

"Wang Mingzhe is dead." Su Daoshan looked at Yue Zhen who was at a loss and said.

"Ah?" Yue Zhen was still a little stunned at first, and then she covered her mouth in shock, "Did Zhou Qinghe kill him?"

"Those two Zhou family guards did it," Su Daoshan said, "and his guards are also dead."

This time, Yue Zhen did not ask Su Daoshan how he saw it, and Su Daoshan did not explain. The two of them just remained silent.

This was expected for Su Daoshan, but for Yue Zhen, it was a huge shock.

Because she was separated by the crazy puppets before, she had been alone and unable to tell the direction, so she didn't know the situation of others.

Su Daoshan was the first person she met, and later she saw Zhou Qinghe and Wang Mingzhe. Yue Zhen didn't know that Wang Minghui was dead. When she met Wang Mingzhe, she didn't have time to ask about this. She just thought she was separated.

Therefore, among the friends she had known since childhood, Wang Mingzhe was the first one to die.

This made her suddenly feel that things had changed. And most importantly, she was standing here at this moment, but Wang Mingzhe died at the hands of Zhou's guards. The difference in fate may only be due to the different choices she and he made more than ten minutes ago.

"Yue Zhen, are you crazy?"

Wang Mingzhe's voice seemed to still echo in my ears.

"You stay here, I'll come back to find you later." Su Daoshan observed that side, and then looked at the distribution of crazy puppets in the distance. He already had a plan in his mind. He told Yue Zhen and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yue Zhen.

"Where are you going?" Yue Zhen asked.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't." Su Daoshan frowned.

He went to kill Zhou Qinghe. But of course, he couldn't let Yue Zhen know about this. After all, the Zhou family was still a noble family, so it was impossible for them to kill someone and let the Yue family catch them. Besides, it was not convenient to use special skills when doing it.

"I'll go with you!" Yue Zhen pursed her lips.

"No," Su Daoshan refused flatly, and then said, "Don't worry, since I said I would come back to find you, I will definitely come back. There are no crazy puppets around here, as long as you don't run around, you'll be fine."

Yue Zhen looked at him seriously and let go of his hand: "Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Su Daoshan walked towards Zhou Qinghe.

After walking a distance, his figure disappeared into the dust storm, and he looked back. Yue Zhen's figure was wrapped in the wind and sand, like a sculpture.
