Chapter 942: Opposing Worlds (37)
The car sped along the road, and the greenery on both sides of the street seemed to be rapidly receding. The whole world was bathed in the warm orange sunlight, and it was a warm and bright scene.
When the car entered the city, Xing Rong gradually slowed down.
Tian Jie turned his head and looked out the car window. The sunlight was incredibly bright. It fell on the earth without reservation, coating the walls of the buildings and the exterior of the cars with a layer of dazzling white light.
The streets are bustling with people, full of life and energy. Some stroll leisurely, enjoying the bustling city life. Some throw their heads back and laugh heartily, their joy seemingly infecting those around them, causing smiles to appear on their faces too.
People sitting on the open-air seats in the restaurant look even more lazy and comfortable. Some simply lie down on the chairs. The sunlight shines on them, reflecting their soothing and relaxed faces, as if there are no worries or bad things in this world at all.
Even the stray cats on the street corners chose a spot with the best sunlight, stretched out their bodies, exposed their round bellies without any scruples, and slept without restraint.
Tian Jie looked at these scenes in disbelief. He couldn't help but relax and felt like he had entered a completely different world.
It’s not like he had never left the island, but the world outside was definitely not like this.
In those streets and cities, violence, crime, and ugliness are everywhere. Beatings are commonplace, theft and robbery are commonplace, animal abuse, fraud, threats and intimidation are commonplace, and there are even attacks and murders.
These scenes are nothing new to Tian Jie.
In that environment, he was used to seeing murder and smelling blood, and his heart had long been numb. For him, apart from money, it seemed that he could no longer find any other value in life.
But when he came here, everything was different. People here were all smiling sincerely, and the streets were filled with harmony and peace.
"Where is this?" Tian Jie finally couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xing Rong. She opened her red lips slightly, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "This is another world."
Tian Jie looked at her blankly, completely not understanding what she meant, but before he could ask, she quickly parked the car on the side of the road.
"You can walk the rest of the way by yourself and experience it carefully." Her tone was calm and firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Tian Jie hadn't expected her to make such a sudden decision. After all, he had followed her all the way here, and she hadn't expressed any dissatisfaction. He couldn't help but feel a little stunned, and for a moment he didn't know how to cheat.
Then she added, "I'm going home now. I can't explain to my family why you're a stranger! So, please get out of the car."
Tian Jie finally came to his senses and realized that there was nothing wrong with what she said.
After all, he was not familiar with her, and he had always been the one who followed her shamelessly. It would be unreasonable to ask someone else to take him home.
Faced with her reasons, Tian Jie couldn't find any words to refute. In the end, he could only silently open the car door and slowly get out.
Just as he closed the car door, Ming Xi in the back seat rolled down the window, made a victorious face at him, and then the car drove away with a whoosh like an arrow.
Only Tian Jie was left standing there, looking at the car that was getting farther and farther away, lost in thought.
……
Xing Rong parked the car steadily in front of a luxurious villa. The people guarding the villa had already noticed that the person in the car was Xing Rong. They quickly stepped forward, opened the car door with neat movements, and with warm smiles on their faces, they respectfully welcomed Xing Rong and Ming Xi home.
Ling'er has been in a particularly good mood since she came to this world. Everything here seems so beautiful, as if it is shrouded in a happy atmosphere.
After all, who wouldn’t like a world full of happiness?
Did Little Star bring her here just to let her feel this happy atmosphere?
