Chapter Fifty-One: Brother Wants to Be Your Master

  After the wine had worn off, Zhou Yi gave the massage girl a hundred yuan note and floated out of the bathroom, only seeking pleasure for one night, hiding his true intentions and deep feelings.

  Liu Xue's phone was still "temporarily unavailable", and she, who was far away in Yun Province, didn't know what had happened either. Zhou Yi was originally a little worried, but thinking about the current prosperity of the four sides, the happiness of the people, the elderly being taken care of, the young having something to rely on, the strong national power, the construction of the navy, the upper and lower levels being in harmony... it was indeed a harmonious and peaceful era, comparable to the Xia and Zhou dynasties, so...

  Even more worried.

  In such a good era, where on earth in China is not charged? Is it that hard to find a place to pay the phone bill, otherwise why can't the mobile phone get through all the time?

  Unfortunately, the all-powerful idle system is still not powerful enough, and it's impossible to use satellite positioning on others. So Zhou Yi, this 'ordinary person', can only wish Liu Xue well, hoping that she and Ye Zi can return to Chu Du safely as soon as possible.

  Driving his Land Rover Discovery, Zhou Yi unknowingly arrived at the flea market.

  That night was here, he used the kitchen god-level stir-fry to exchange Liu Xue and Ye Zi's laughter. In fact, as early as that time, Zhou Yi saw that these two girls, big and small, had not laughed so happily for a long time...

  "Why is the willow catkin alone with the leaf? Where are the leaf's father and mother? Looking at her situation, it's really not good. Even the skirt she wears out every day has been washed until it's white, but this girl's skin is still so tender, and there's no callus on her hands. It can be seen that her original life was definitely not like this...... What happened to make such a big change in her life and the leaf's?"

  He parked the Land Rover by the side of the road, rolled down the window, and Zhou Yi's gaze pierced through the crowds, falling on the stall where Liu Xue used to sell noodles.

  Since Liu Xue left, the business of "Three Generations Stir-Fried Noodles" across the street has been getting better and better. Looking at the crowded crowd and busy boss, Zhou Yi made a decision in secret: "After Liu Xue and Ye Zi come back, I will never let her sell stir-fried noodles again..."

  Although he didn't have much contact with Liu Xue, Zhou Yi could tell that she was a self-reliant girl who wouldn't easily accept help from others. So when Liu Xue didn't mention her own affairs, he never asked about them either. But this time, being separated made Zhou Yi determined: once Liu Xue returned, he would definitely ask her everything clearly and take charge for this weak yet strong girl! He wanted to let Liu Xue know that this time, brother is going to be your master!

  "Uncle, do you want to buy flowers?"

  A little girl who looked only four or five years old walked over with a bouquet of fresh flowers and gazed at Zhou Yi timidly.

  "Oh, little sister, how many more do you have? I'll buy them all from you."

  Zhou Yi smiled and took out a 100-yuan bill, handing it to her: "Don't look for change, the flowers are sold out, hurry back home."

  "Thank you, uncle..." The little girl excitedly took the money and turned around to leave hastily, as if she was afraid that Zhou Yi would change his mind.

  "Such a young child... what kind of parents would be so heartless? Maybe... they were forced by life..."

  Even the usually lazy and idle Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, looking at the flower in his hand, he couldn't help but think of that mischievous little Yezi again...

  ***

  The stars are still the same, but the city's starlight is no longer shining bright.

  Having grown accustomed to the clear wind and bright moon in the mountains, having grown accustomed to the cicadas' chirping and frogs' croaking, Zhou Yi can no longer accept the city's noise and that polluted air which makes his throat uncomfortable with just one breath.

  Even if it's just for one night, Zhou Yi doesn't want to stay in Xiadun Community anymore. Moreover, he had long thought that when his parents return from France, he would also persuade them to move to Yunshui Village with him, breathe some fresh air, eat the expensive rice they grew themselves, and ensure a long and healthy life, rejuvenating their second spring...

  So he rushed back to Yunshui Village overnight, and although the mountain road at night was a bit dangerous and difficult to navigate, fortunately his reaction speed and observation ability were several times that of an ordinary person, so the rugged mountain road in his eyes was not much different from a highway.

  A person's mountain road, quiet as if it were the first twenty years of life in the Book of Changes, only hearing the roar of the Land Rover and the howling of the mountain wind outside the window. The high beam of the Land Rover shines out for hundreds of meters on the pitch-black mountain road, as if it were a god of light, tearing open the darkness and illuminating the path of destiny.

  When they arrived at that bend, the Sword Horse Lake, which was originally under the bright moonlight and looked like a Milky Way pouring into the world, suddenly changed into a pitch-black piece in a speed visible to the naked eye. Zhou Yi raised his head to look, only to find that the stars and moon had been covered by dark clouds, followed by a thunderclap, heavy rain poured down, hitting the car window glass, making a "pa pa pa" explosive sound; the originally bright headlights were wrapped in thick rain mist, also turning into two yellowish blurry balls.

  What a big rain! It's just in time. Now the summer wheat harvest is all stored, and this rain is needed to nourish all things and revitalize the earth's vitality... This is a lucky rain!

  Zhou Yi looked at the sudden heavy rain, not only did he not feel any tension or fear, but instead felt a sense of relief and an indescribable feeling of comfort.

  He parked the Land Rover in a relatively safe place, and Zhou Yi sat in the car, enjoying the rare moment of one person, one car, one rain, one mountain scenery, and one tranquility. At this moment, the whole world seemed to have only him, one car, without the hustle and bustle and filth of the human world.

  In the midst of the stormy rain, Zhou Yi felt a rare sense of clarity, as if this rain not only washed clean the earth but also cleansed his soul.

  "Ai, I love you, how about you?"

  "Ah Yi, take me to Beihai tomorrow, I want you to ride a bicycle, so I can sit in the back and hold your waist..."

  "Ai, I loved you, but unfortunately you're not suitable for me. My family won't agree, sorry..."

  A flash of lightning suddenly illuminated the sky, and Zhou Yi seemed to see that night again, with its wind, rain, and thunder. The girl he once loved had turned her back on him... It was also that night, in the midst of the rain, that he inexplicably obtained the Omni Idle System.

  "What's gone is gone; past events should be blown away by the wind, what's the point of keeping them?"

  Zhou Yi smiled and shook his head, the blurry figure in front of him finally shattered and returned to nothingness. Almost at the same time, another delicate figure gradually became clear.

  That was Liu Xue, struggling to carry a large package in the unit corridor; holding Yezi's small hand, selling liangfen at the flea market and living a hard life; on the day of departure, Liu Xue with deep eyes full of emotions...

  "Willow, you can't escape this time..."

  After letting go of the last bit of dust in his heart and breaking free from that last thread of obsession, Zhou Yi became even more languid and lazy, but his eyes became much brighter.

  Picking up the flowers on the passenger seat, Zhou Yi smiled: "Who made me take a liking to you? This time, I'm going to be your master!"

  Rumble——

  Outside the car window, another flash of lightning, a string of thunder bursts scattered dark clouds. The bright moon reappears, shining on the silver light of Jianma Lake, a good plate of jade wheel ice plate appears in the lake, as if in heaven and on earth.

  At this moment, Zhou Yi's emotions were indescribable. He had put down one girl, but picked up another. In the midst of putting down and picking up, a great joy and great wisdom suddenly arose, as spoken of in Buddhist teachings...

  People's hearts are like this; people's lives are also like this...

  Ps: This chapter actually doesn't have much plot, but it's a transitional chapter that perfects the protagonist's personality, and can't be said to be unimportant. This book, named Omnipotence, is actually using the omnipotent system to find the leisure, joy, and wisdom we yearn for but cannot possess.

  Everything is in your mind, if you have no worries, you are omnipotent, you are the protagonist!

  May our hearts be as they should be...

  Thank you for 'wのi' '暗枫影' brother's reward, thank you all for your recommendations and collections :)

  With everyone's support, Guang An has enough motivation to continue writing this book, making it even more enjoyable for you and me to smile in our busy lives and take a moment of rest.

  It's actually pretty good: ) Hehe...
