I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 163: Their respective lives

A moment later, a table full of sumptuous dishes was placed on the table.

"Fuck, Xia Yuan, do you always eat this kind of stuff?"

I watched as the waiters brought out food that I had only seen on videos, some of which I had never even seen on videos.

Fu Hongkang's eyes were wide open.

He asked in disbelief only after all the waiters had left.

"What are you thinking? I've only been eating for four or five days. I only have a million dollars on me. How can I afford to eat every day?"

"If you hadn't come here, I definitely wouldn't eat here again. I'm almost tired of it after so many days."

"???"

Listen, is this human talk?

Are you tired of eating this kind of thing?

I never get tired of eating it every day.

"Okay, here's the menu. Just order whatever you want. If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another one."

He still had more than 400,000 yuan on him, and with Fu Hongkang's appetite, it would be enough even if he only ate one bite of each.

When you meet an old friend in a foreign place, you should always be generous.

Fu Hongkang looked at the dishes one by one, his expression becoming more and more stiff.

The price of half of the dishes here is higher than his monthly salary.

"Just this king crab is over 10,000?"

He pointed at the crabs on the table and asked with dry lips.

"Well, I heard from them that this is from the Far North Strait and is currently the best quality king crab on Earth."

"This is only about ten pounds. If you sell it alive, you can get seven or eight thousand. If you like it, you can have another one."

"..."

Damn, are you eating?

All this food costs money!
The lives of rich people are so extravagant.

Not only that, there were also lobsters, beef and other things on the table, all of which were terribly expensive.

He roughly calculated that this table of food alone cost more than 50,000 yuan.

This is almost equal to most ordinary people's annual salary.

Depraved, so depraved.

I never thought my friend would fall to this level.

"Eat it or not? If not, I'll eat it all."

Nearly ten minutes had passed and Fu Hongkang still hadn't picked up his chopsticks. Xia Yuan had no choice but to remind him.

"Did you really earn this money through legitimate means? I'm a little panicked!"

There was no way. After calculating the price of the dishes, he really didn't dare to eat them.

"Don't worry, I'm absolutely serious. I'll vouch for it with my character."

"Your character? It's hard to say."

"..."

Xia Yuan felt a pang of pain in his teeth. How could this guy talk like that? When has his character ever been bad since he was a child?
"Okay, eat it if you like."

After saying that, he no longer cared about his friend next to him and started eating by himself.

While eating, he also commented and deliberately showed an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"Mm, this lobster tastes really good, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's a real treat for your taste buds."

"..."

What a beast! What a beast!

Fu Hongkang, who was watching from the side, looked constipated.

After another five minutes of agony, he finally gave in.

Half an hour later, Fu Hongkang touched his stomach and slumped down in the chair with a satisfied look on his face.

"Why, didn't someone say he didn't want to eat?"

"When did I ever say I don't want to eat?"

That's right, he figured it out.

With Xia Yuan's current ability, there is no need to harm himself like this.

Moreover, if this guy wants to make money, there are indeed many ways to do it. Maybe he can actually save a rich woman.

Secondly, judging from our interactions after we met, he hasn't changed much. It's hard to say what his character is like, but he certainly wouldn't do anything that would harm others.

"hehe."

Xia Yuan looked disdainful.

"Xia Yuan, do you remember what I said before I left last time?"

"You haven't changed. You're still so shameless."

Fu Hongkang couldn't help but sigh.

"Get out of here, uncle."

Who is shameless?
He smiled and just shook his head.

After a moment, he seemed to remember something and continued:

"Do you still remember the student with the best academic performance in our class in the third grade?"

"Nonsense, of course I remember this kind of person."

I believe everyone from their class will remember this person.

It's simple. That person finally got admitted to Kyoto University, the top university in Kyushu.

Anyone who is from Jiuzhou knows the value of this institution. It is the dream of almost all students.

It is extremely difficult to get into this university.

No one who left Panlong Town had ever passed the exam before, so you can imagine how difficult it is.

Until now, there has only been this one person in Panlong Town.

It's like a phoenix emerges from a chicken coop. It's so dazzling, how could it not be remembered?
"Why are you suddenly mentioning him? Did you see him recently?"

Fu Hongkang shook his head.

"No, I haven't seen him since high school. I just heard that he left Kyushu and went to another place to continue his studies. I haven't heard from him since then."

Xia Yuan shrugged, not feeling surprised.

"A genius like him would definitely continue his studies. Besides, even if he came back, you wouldn't be able to see him."

"People like him are destined to be from a different world from us."

Come to think of it, that guy was not only in the same class with them in junior high school, but they also studied together in elementary school.

In fact, Xia Yuan’s grades were pretty good when he was in junior high school.

Although it is worse than that person, it is not much worse.

After all, they are both in key classes, the only difference is that one is first in the class and the other is last in the class.

But at least they are all in the key class. There are 28 people in their class, and almost all of them are in the top 30 in the grade.

Precisely because there are not many students, the relationships between classmates are quite good, at least that was the case during junior high school.

But after graduating from junior high school, we left Panlong Town and went to different high schools in Jiangcheng, and our contact became less and less.

The main reason was that rural students at that time did not have mobile phones at all, so the relationship naturally faded over time.

Xia Yuan heard about that man's deeds again after he graduated from high school.

Banners announcing that certain students had been admitted to Kyoto University were hung all over the streets and alleys.

In just a few days, everyone knew that someone had been admitted to Kyoto University.

Three years later, when Xia Yuan heard that name again, it felt like a lifetime ago.

In just three years, his former classmate had reached such a height, an institution he could not even imagine in his dreams.

From that moment on, Xia Yuan knew that they were no longer from the same world.

He did not attend that person's graduation party.

We haven't seen each other for three years. The friendship we had in junior high school has long disappeared with time. Going back to see each other will only increase the awkwardness.

Until now, nearly fifteen years have passed since I graduated from junior high school, and I have never heard from that person again.

They live in the same world, but like two parallel lines, they never intersect.

Not surprisingly, the same will be true in the future.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Feeling Fu Hongkang's strange gaze, Xia Yuan felt a little strange.

"Nothing, just a little emotional."

Fu Hongkang didn't say some words. He felt that when Xia Yuan said this, he was actually talking about himself.
Just like the admission letter from Kyoto University.

A piece of paper separated him from other people in a different world.

Now, Fu Hongkang has the same feeling.

Even more so.

Soon, Xia Yuan realized why his friend had such an expression just now.

What they do to each other is destined to make them drift apart.

Everyone should pursue their own ideals and do what they should do.

I cultivate immortality, you maintain justice in your heart, and he does scientific research.

Different paths will inevitably lead to two completely different roads.

This is something that cannot be changed.

"Lao Fu, the future is still long, there's no need to think too much."

"That's all I said."

Fu Hongkang smiled and quickly adjusted himself.

On the road of life, some people get on and some people get off.

You will meet countless people in your life. Welcome them when they get on, leave with a smile when they get off, and then continue to move forward on your own life track.

"By the way, a few days ago Liu Yuqing asked me if I was free at the end of the year. I saw your Moments and wondered if she'd contacted you as well."

"Yeah, she also said she was organizing a party at the end of the year."

Xia Yuan nodded. Liu Yuqing was the junior high school classmate he met in town during the New Year.

"Speaking of which, she also complained to me that you pretended not to know her when you met her. Is that true?"

Fu Hongkang teased with a smile.

"..."

"I didn't recognize him at the time. It's been so long since I last saw him, how could I remember him?"

"Hehe, that's not what she told me."

Xia Yuan took a sip of tea and ignored his friend's teasing.

"Why did she suddenly think of having a class reunion?"

Fu Hongkang raised his eyebrows.

"Why, you don't know yet?"

"Don't be pretentious."

"She's getting married at the end of the year, so she wanted to take the opportunity to contact our former classmates for a reunion. Didn't she tell you?"

Xia Yuan shook his head.

"No."

"It seems she wants to confirm the date first. She only told me that after I asked her."

This is possible. He just chatted briefly before and didn't even give an accurate answer. It's normal for people not to say it directly.

"How many of the original twenty-eight people in our class are still contactable?"

Xia Yuan actually didn't think how many people would come to the party. There were no cell phones in junior high school, and now everyone is from all over the world.

Many of them had already moved to the city, so how could they have any contact with each other?

"I'm not sure about that. Anyway, besides you, I don't have much contact with other people. I do have four or five other contact information."

"Where did you get so many people's contact information?"

Fu Hongkang rolled his eyes.

"When we were in college, we would occasionally get together during the Lunar New Year, but after graduation we didn't have much contact."

It turned out to be that time.

When Xia Yuan was in college, a series of misfortunes happened in his family, so naturally he had no time to attend any class reunions.

Later on, let alone class reunions, I almost cut off contact with most people.

Afterwards, the two chatted briefly for a while until noon when they paid the bill and left.

"Mr. Xia, welcome back next time!"

After walking out the door, Fu Hongkang teased with a smile.

"I saw those waiters' eyes glowing when they looked at you. What on earth did you do to them?"

"If you can spend 500,000 or 600,000 yuan here a week, they will do the same."

"..."

Fu Hongkang's mouth twitched. Not to mention five or six hundred thousand a week, even five or six hundred would be too much for him.

"By the way, how is the situation between you two?"

Speaking of this, he was silent for a moment.

But this time he didn't avoid it. Maybe he also wanted to find someone to talk to.

"We should be breaking up!"

"Actually, it's good to be separated. Given our current situation, getting married would only torture each other."

"Over the years, we have gradually become the most familiar strangers, and we understand each other's thoughts very well."

"Her career is currently on the rise. From what I know about her, she definitely doesn't want to get married at this time."

"We've only met twice this year, and we never talked about marriage at the dinner table."

At the end of his speech, Fu Hongkang sighed.

"I can see how much she's devoted to her career. She needs someone who can help her with her career, not me."

"I've decided. When I get back this time, I'm going to make it clear to her that a peaceful breakup is the best outcome."

"It's time to let go!"

Xia Yuan did not comment after listening.

In matters like this, he doesn't need to offer any opinions himself; just being a listener is enough!
As an adult, he thought about it for so long and finally made this decision. It must be the result of careful consideration.

If that's the case, why bother trying to persuade him anymore?
It's a pity that after eight years, we were still not destined to be together.

"Do you need me to help you get the contact information of those beauties?"

"Get lost, get out of here, I haven't broken up with you yet!"

“It’s not too late to prepare in advance, hahaha.”

"Oh, forget it. I don't need someone who has never had a girlfriend to help me set up a relationship."

"???"

The two attacked each other for a while, and the sadness they had just felt gradually disappeared.

"It's almost time. I have to prepare to gather at the police station."

"Okay, if you need any help, you can call me."

"This isn't a fight, so you're not needed. Solving the case still depends on professionals like us."

Xia Yuan smiled and did not refute.

In fact, with his current abilities, solving the case doesn't require much effort.

Even without using his soul, his eyes are more accurate than many instruments, and the clues left by ordinary people are unlikely to escape his sight.

But since I don't need to help, it's one less trouble.

"If you guys can come all the way from Jiangcheng to handle a case here, then it must be something serious. You have to be careful."

Fu Hongkang shook his head.

"This incident is different from what you think. It can't be solved by brute force. I don't know all the details. In short, we will know after we get there."

Just then, he received a call. It seemed that his colleague from Jiang Cheng had arrived.

After hanging up the phone, he said goodbye to Xia Yuan.

"Okay, then you go first!"

After watching Fu Hongkang get into the taxi, Xia Yuan stood there for a while and then left.

It was afternoon now, and I thought Li Qingxuan should have recovered a lot, so it was time to go and see him.

The most important thing right now is to first understand the difficulties and problems faced by ordinary people in cultivation.

As for Fu Hongkang, judging from his tone, he really doesn't need my help.
