Chapter Fifteen: Turning Clouds and Pouring Rain

  Yesterday evening was a big fuss, and I was still drowsy when the sky brightened. It wasn't until the preparatory bell rang that I woke up. When I opened my eyes and took a look... Is this my dormitory?

  The curtains that had been pulled almost all year round were also opened... no, they weren't opened, they were gone!

  Everything is tidy and spotless, the floor is polished brightly, is this still my old nest?

  "Ah, husband you're awake!" Ruru poked her head out of the bathroom.

  "Sweat, Ru'er, we're both going to be late! What are you doing?!" The performance of the past few days has already made "Old Monkey" not very satisfied. If I skip class without a reason today, I'll definitely get skinned. As a student, it's rare for me not to fear my teacher, and I just happen to be that kind of normal person.

  "Honey, are you still sleepy? It's the weekend today!" Rourou smiled slyly.

  Be sweating...

  Stretched a lazy waist, and there was no waist soreness or back pain, but rather a refreshing feeling throughout the body, as if all the depression had been released, and I felt full of energy!

  "My body hasn't recovered yet, why bother tidying up the house? It's messy anyway, I'm used to it."

  "Hmph, I've been busy all morning, and this is how you reward me?!" Although she said that, Rourou still knew I was heartbroken for her. Not having a girlfriend didn't matter to her; she thought it was something she should do, and not doing well at it would be her fault!

  A woman doesn't have to be extremely intelligent, but she must be gentle and understanding of others.

  What a heavenly gift! Now it's like this, and in the future I can enjoy it!

  "Rou'er, isn't it a big deal if you don't go home?"

  "Hmph, my parents only care about business, work, and career all day, they don't have time to think about me." Rourou pouted her small mouth and gently massaged my head.

  "Is that so? We haven't experienced the cruelty of reality yet. You and Yan Yan are not bad, but my family is quite ordinary."

  "It's okay, my husband will definitely become a great person in the future. A hero is not afraid of humble origins!"

  "Dizzy, I've never thought that I'm inferior to others, and I'm proud of having such parents. Our family is considered self-made, my dad has always been stubborn and refused to submit to others, later he started his own business, the hardships he endured are countless, but now he's achieved some success, every step forward brings great joy, otherwise how could we afford this two-bedroom apartment? My mom is a civil servant who has worked for most of her life, her work performance is renowned, but what's the point? She never attends banquets or gives gifts, it took her over 10 years to become a small bureau chief through her own abilities, I think they're living well, contentment is happiness."

  "Sorry, husband, I didn't mean it!" Rourou said with a bit of panic.

  "I know, it's actually nothing to be afraid of, who's afraid of whom? Our future is what's interesting!"

  "Um, can I meet them?" As soon as I said that, I felt Rou's heart beating faster. If she got my parents' approval, her position would be solidified.

  "Oh? Who are they?"

  "Hum, you're bad! You clearly know what I'm talking about!"

  "Little treasure, the abacus is calculated to be very precise, so there's no problem at all. However, that has to wait until after the college entrance exam. Our parents are open-minded, but if they knew about our situation now, they would be shocked, what a generation gap!"

  Upon hearing me agree, Rourou nodded vigorously to confirm, as if she was afraid I would change my mind. Now she has placed everything on me. I dare say that if I don't want her now, she will absolutely die.

  No woman after her could be more wholehearted and open than Rourou, she has reached the point of "blindly following" in other people's eyes with her unique gentleness.

  We spent the whole morning chatting like this, as if we didn't have time to have a serious heart-to-heart talk and exchange our inner thoughts.

  Rou'er talked to me about her childhood, her joys and sorrows, everything. It was only then that I realized the rumors at school weren't accurate.

  Yan Yan is from Shanghai, and Rou Er's father is always busy with no time to take care of her. Although she didn't say it explicitly, I could tell from her tone that they are a very wealthy family, definitely not the kind of ordinary people like me. Maybe considering my thoughts, she glossed over it briefly. Fortunately, her mother does design work and doesn't have high requirements for location, but she's also always on the go.

  As for them agreeing to let Ru'er come here, it really took a lot of effort. Ru'er showed my future mother-in-law a few tricks that she called superpowers, saying that only the heavenly energy of Penglai Island could consolidate her powers, otherwise it would be very detrimental to her body. Seeing this supernatural phenomenon, Auntie naturally compromised.

  Yan Yan's side is similar, and with two girls accompanying each other, the effect is even better.

  "Don't worry, Ru'er. Actually, being a pretty boy isn't bad either. In the future, you can support me, hehe. Although flying feels great, maintaining this ability is also exhausting and cancels out the enjoyment. Once we're in college, we should at least get a car to drive around."

  Although I am a new human being, the material life of humanity has reached an extreme, as long as you have ever been human, you will never forget.

  "Go, go, you look nothing like a spendthrift!" Rourou said with a low laugh. Money didn't mean much to her; her monthly allowance was $1,000, mainly because her father was afraid she'd develop a bad habit of overspending. Even so, it was still a frightening amount for a high school student. Rourou's usual expenses weren't high, and she had saved up most of the money, but she didn't know how to bring it up, after all, she still had to consider my pride.

  Unfortunately, my self-esteem isn't as strong as I imagined, I'm not that stupid, it's foolish to not use one's own wife's money, of course the way to make money still needs to be found by oneself, but regarding this, I don't have any concept at all. If you ask me to rob a bank, I can do it, with my abilities nothing can stop me, however... for now, I haven't had the idea of becoming a fugitive and being wanted nationwide.

  I heard that MN can trade stocks, but according to the mosquito, the effect is not very good. There are too many variables in the entire network. With MN's current capabilities, the success rate is similar to some veteran stock investors and cannot guarantee profits. Moreover, there are unpredictable human factors in the stock market, such as big players like Soros, which MN cannot test for.

  Originally getting power doesn't necessarily mean getting worldly wealth and authority!

  The boat will naturally reach the bridge when it gets there, no need to think so far ahead now.

  "Honey, I've saved over $50,000 now, you can take it and use it first, men spend a lot of money!"

  Fainted, vomited blood, over 400,000 yuan. My dad spent half his life to earn this much, it's already good enough. Other people's pocket money can be saved up to this amount, it's infuriating!

  Seeing my unpleasant face, Rourou spoke cautiously, "Husband, what's mine is yours, this..." Rourou herself didn't know how to explain, and felt that the more she explained, the less it seemed like the truth.

  I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and Rourou only then realized she had been tricked. "Bad old man, you deliberately scared me! Humph, and yet you still put on a innocent face, this won't do!"

  "You take it first, when we arrive in Shanghai, we will inevitably need to buy some things, and it can also be considered as our start-up capital!" I'm not going to pretend to be rich, but I'll definitely have to think of a way to make money later on. Relying on women is not a long-term plan.

  After lunch, we waited for Yan and the mosquitoes on the mountain. Qin Da Meiren was naturally indispensable, but adults' affairs are always complicated, she basically had to be late every time.

  "Honey, I think this place will be flattened by us sooner or later."

  The poor mountain has been messed up, and the culprit is still me. Their messenger's attack was not enough to cause devastating harm to the environment.

  Over time, I have also gained a concept of other new humans. Their rules seem to be ineffective against the genius, and whether it is destructive in terms of strength or ability, it is very limited. No wonder the earliest awakened Westerners, both factions maintain their secrecy, once they show signs of harming human society, under the comprehensive strike of hot weapons, the new humans will absolutely not be a match for humans, but if they completely infiltrate, it's a whole different story.

  It must be said that the behind-the-scenes leaders of both sides are extraordinary figures. Actually, what I'm most curious about right now is the author of "Rebirth in Destruction". His explanation of the characteristics of most new humans is already quite profound, definitely an outstanding guy.

  I'm very satisfied with my current carefree life, but deep down I yearn to experience the bold and fearless spirit of those who awakened long ago. It's something that all men have, and I'm no exception. Now, what I need is probably just a catalyst. I also want to thoroughly understand what sets me apart from others - what am I, exactly? I think there will always be someone who can give me the answer... If only I could overcome the negative effects of my power, that would be even better.

  As I gazed into the distance, lost in thought, Rourou quietly stood by my side, watching me. She felt that this was enough. Initially, she had hoped her boyfriend would be a heroic figure, standing tall and proud, admired by all, of course, such heroes are always handsome, riding on colorful clouds, but not like Sun Wukong, the monkey king.

  She now thinks that her past self was so naive and laughable, her man may not be exceptionally handsome, but he has a strong masculine aura, his casualness and humor in daily life, and his majestic transformation into a king, every state of his makes her infatuated. Now she doesn't want me to become the hero admired by thousands of people, because she knows that at this moment, I completely belong to her.

  But she knew deep down that this was only temporary, a woman's intuition clearly told her that the man in front of her would do something unimaginable, something that transcended worldly wealth, status and fame. For the new human, these things were not important, nor were they the standard by which to evaluate. If one really wanted to obtain them, there were simply too many ways to do so.

  From the moment she awoke, ordinary human pursuits had vanished; all she wished for was to be with her beloved forever, no matter where they went.
