Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 410 Confusing
The blue sky is endless and the sun is trying hard to release its warmth. However, under the dense shade of the trees, there is a slight chill. Occasionally, the sound of cicadas passes through the railway crossing and falls into the depths of the jungle.

Zhou Wang took a branch, drew a shape on the ground in the forest, and asked Ding Yi seriously.

"If you are walking along a line like this, where the planned route bends in a circle and bulges out to two equal heights, what are the main terrain parts you pass through?"

"what?"

Ding Yi blinked her long-lashed eyes in confusion and looked carefully at the shape on the ground. She felt that it was weird no matter how she looked at it. It did not match any high school geography questions she knew and she couldn't help feeling confused.

"Is this a saddle? A ridge? A steep cliff doesn't seem to fit... Sorry, I can't seem to tell."

"fool."

Zhou Wang chuckled at this time and looked directly into Ding Yi's eyes, "You left... because of my heart!"

Ding Yi was stunned, and when he looked down, he realized that what Zhou Wang had drawn on the ground was just a crooked "heart shape".

"Zhou... Zhou Wang, you come again!"

After she realized what was happening, Ding Yi's pretty fair face suddenly turned slightly red, and she said angrily with a hint of embarrassment.

Zhou Wang could only spread his hands and complain in his heart, "Do you think I want to tease you with such cheesy love words? Who told you to drag me to review high school knowledge?"

Zhou Wang was unable to cope with the situation and had no choice but to resort to this last resort.

It was already the third day that Zhou Wang had entered the "copy". After two days of getting to know and getting along with Ding Yi, the two had become quite familiar with each other.

Zhou Wang came here to complete a mission, but Ding Yi appeared here just to read a book.

Ding Yi was obviously wary of Zhou Wang, the unexpected companion, at first, but Zhou Wang already knew her character. Even though they had never had any intimate actions in college, it was still easy for him to break down her defenses.

And just as Zhou Wang felt at the beginning, although the Ding Yi in front of him had many similarities with the Ding Yi he met later, she had a trait that the later Ding Yi did not have...

That means there is almost no scheming.

So under this premise, the two quickly became familiar with each other, and Ding Yi began to review high school knowledge with Zhou Wang to prepare for the college entrance examination a week later.

But how could Zhou Wang keep up with Ding Yi’s pace?

Before today, Zhou Wang never considered himself a "bad student". Although he was only ranked in the middle in Jingcheng No. 1 Middle School, Zhou Wang always thought that it was because he did not take the exam seriously. However, he was badly beaten by Ding Yi.

During the interactive question-and-answer session between the two, Ding Yi didn't even need to flip through the book. He just asked a few questions casually, and Zhou Wang felt as if his brain went blank and he was suffocating.

Even if he has forgotten a lot of high school knowledge, it is impossible that he cannot answer any question, right?
After chatting with Ding Yi for a while, Zhou Wang solved the case.

It turns out that before transferring to Jingcheng for a temporary study, Ding Yi studied at the famous Renmin University High School in Beijing.

Even in a school like that, Ding Yi was always among the top three in his grade.

Using the word "academic bully" to describe her is an insult, at least she should be described as a "genius of learning".

So Zhou Wang could only make jokes and use some words that Ding Yi couldn't resist to save some face. With Zhou Wang's current proficiency in this area, the girl, who was only 17 or 18 years old, was naturally teased by him from time to time and had no power to fight back...

The main reason is that the current Ding Yi is too naive. Although she is smart and can react very quickly to some jokes thrown out by Zhou Wang that have not appeared in this era, her eyes still reveal a clear and naive look from time to time, which makes it quite interesting to tease her.

If it were during their college years, even if the two of them were really in love, Zhou Wang felt that he would probably be more reserved towards Ding Yi and would not dare to do anything rash.

...Otherwise, during those days when they were in close contact, Zhou Wang and her would not have never kissed each other.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wang's gaze could not help but drift, following the girl's crescent-shaped brows, passing over her tall and clean nose, and landing on her pink lips that were like petals and still in bud.

Girls at this age don’t know how to wear lipstick, but just a thin layer of lipstick can reveal a crystal-like and delicate beauty.

Zhou Wang watched and swallowed unconsciously.

At this time, seeing that Zhou Wang had not spoken for a long time, Ding Yi also noticed something strange. She looked up in confusion and met Zhou Wang's dangerous eyes.

The girl was unaware of the temptation she exuded, but she intuitively felt the danger coming.

As the distance between the two of them unknowingly shortened, Ding Yi stood up in a panic, holding the book in his arms, "It's almost time, I have to go back..."

"Ok?"

Zhou Wang subconsciously glanced at his watch... Oh, he didn't have a watch now. He picked up the Vivo phone beside him and took a look. Then he asked in surprise: "It's not even three o'clock now. Why is it so early today?"

Every day after lunch, Ding Yi would come here to read, and she would not go home until dusk. According to her, she had maintained this habit since before the school was closed. After all, the private school she transferred to was the best in Jingcheng, but the teachers could not teach her anything...

"Well, we have to go back early today. Mom and Dad will be back for dinner."

"That's fine."

Zhou Wang didn't force it. He stood up and put the two small stools aside, then picked up his schoolbag which only contained a few packs of cigarettes and a bottle of Coke, and walked down the hillside along the path with Ding Yi, one after the other.

When they reached the road, neither of them spoke a word, but just walked along the road towards a nearby community tacitly.

A few meters away, Zhou Wang followed Ding Yi silently, a little dazed. He inexplicably remembered the time when he opened the memory fragment [No. 003].

There were similar moments in it.

But in that memory fragment, Zhou Wang was walking in front, and Ding Yi followed silently behind him.

At this time, Ding Yi stopped at an intersection. Not far away, a black Audi with a Jingcheng photo-taking sign was parked on the side of the road. When it saw Ding Yi appear, the Audi slowly drove over. Zhou Wang also stopped when he saw this.

Just before the Audi car approached, Ding Yi pursed his lips and suddenly turned around.

"Zhou Wang..."

"Ok?"

"Thank you."

Ding Yi's thanks were incoherent and Zhou Wang was a little confused. When he looked up, he only saw the girl's bright smile.

After laughing, Ding Yi waved to him again and then got into the back seat of the Audi. Soon, the car started and disappeared at the end of the road, turning into the newly built villa community next to it.

Zhou Wang watched the vehicle disappear, but there was still some contemplation in his eyes.

It’s just because up to now, he still doesn’t know what [event] he is about to accomplish.

Zhou Wang saw through Jiang Qingkui's [incident] at a glance, because Zhou Wang already knew her well enough, and all the existing signs showed that if she was really pregnant, it could only be her own doing...

And Ding Yi's [incident] in this copy is somewhat confusing.

In the [Event Overview] of the talent show, Zhou Wang saw a fire, a woman trapped in the fire, an exhausted middle-aged man, an old man lying in the emergency room, and a confused young girl.

Needless to say, the girl was undoubtedly Ding Yi.

The middle-aged man might be Ding Yi's father, because they looked a little bit similar, but who was the woman trapped in the fire, who was the old man in the ward, and what was the fire about? Zhou Wang had no clue yet.

The dog system was still the same as usual, with almost no prompts, and Zhou Wang had to rely entirely on his own experience.

It was also because of the mystery revealed in Ding Yi's copy that Zhou Wang became more interested.

……

When he returned home in the evening, Zhou Wang felt better when he saw Comrade Zhou Dajun and Ms. Zhao Guihua, who looked several years younger.

This is perhaps the magic of this [copy]. Even if everything is illusory, even if his parents at this time still often scold him to show some of the shortcomings of Chinese-style education, his parents at this time still have no gray hair on their temples.

After finishing the lunch leftovers while his mother was nagging about "not being home all day", Zhou Wang watched the news with Zhou Dajun for a while.

Zhou Wang's original intention was to show his filial piety, or to find some psychological comfort for himself, but suddenly, he heard the broadcast voice coming from the TV.

"...Jingcheng Mayor Ding Boyu attended the city's entrepreneurs' symposium today and delivered an important speech..."

"Who?"

Zhou Wang, who had caught some key words, looked up suddenly, startling Zhou Dajun who was drinking tea next to him.

"What are you making so much noise for?"

Zhou Dajun rebuked dissatisfiedly.

"Dad, this Ding Boyu is the mayor?"

Zhou Wang stared at the familiar-looking face on TV and couldn't help asking.

"Well, he just took office more than two months ago. It is said that he was transferred from the north... When did you start to care about these things?"

Zhou Dajun said casually, but he didn't wait for his son's response. When he turned around, he found that Zhou Wang was watching the news intently and didn't hear what he asked at all.

Zhou Wang watched the news for a while, then remembered something, turned around and ran to the study.

I have an old computer at home that Zhou Dajun moved back from his office. Although it can't play games, it is still capable of surfing the Internet and searching for information.

At this moment, Zhou Wang also realized it later.

The system did not give any prompts, but given Ding Yi's special family environment, he could completely search for some clues on his own.

It was all because Zhou Wang had been bewitched by Ding Yi’s “beauty” these days. He had lost his mind and was just waiting for guidance to jump out.

It took more than half an hour for Zhou Wang to get a rough idea through some scattered news and revelations in certain gossip forums.

Ding Yi's father did work in Beidu originally, and was parachuted to Jingcheng, Yunnan Province two months ago. In fact, Zhou Wang didn't know much about these things, but looking at the comments of some "knowledgeable guys" in the forum, although it seems that the level has not changed, his situation is actually a bit like the ancient "exile".

After all, it was from the center to the borderland in one go.

Zhou Wang was still a little confused. After thinking about it, he took out his cell phone and dialed the number he remembered.

The call didn't go through the first time. It wasn't until the second time that a familiar voice with surprise came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, who is this?"

"Is it Qiu Zeyu, Mr. Qiu?"

Because of Zhou Wang's address, the person on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he answered cautiously: "It's me, who are you?"

"You don't need to care who I am, you just need to answer me a question."

"Are you sick? Why should I answer your questions for no reason?"

Qiu Zeyu was so angry that he laughed. He thought it was just a harassing call, but just as he was about to hang up, he heard Zhou Wang on the other end of the phone calmly say:

"If you don't answer, I will tell you all about your past with Miss Wang, and you can just wait for the divorce."

"how do you know……"

Mr. Qiu on the other end of the phone was obviously shocked. He had only been dating Miss Wang for a short time, and even his best friend didn't know about it. How did this person know?
After a long silence, Qiu Zeyu took a deep breath and said, "You can ask, but I can't guarantee that I will answer."

Zhou Wang smiled secretly. Although Young Master Qiu was destined to divorce, due to some conflicts of interest, it was not the right time to do so. This was what Young Master Qiu had told him personally. He had endured for several years before the time for divorce came...

But looking at it from another angle, it turns out that although Mr. Qiu seems to be just playing around, he actually cares a lot about Miss Wang.

"I want to know, what happened to the Ding family?"

"Ding family?"

Young Master Qiu was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought this man was going to ask something.

"Grandpa Ding is in the hospital. I heard that his condition is critical and he may not survive this time... This is not a secret. Since you have my phone number, you can find out about it by just asking around in the circle. Why bother asking me?"

After Mr. Qiu finished answering, he muttered in dissatisfaction, but Zhou Wang did not answer and hung up the phone directly.

So, the old man living in the emergency room is Ding Yi’s grandfather?
Zhou Wang, who had solved another puzzle, checked it out and was immediately shocked by the encyclopedia information about the old man of the Ding family. This was a truly powerful figure...

Zhou Wang then understood what Ding Yi meant by "something happened at home". This was probably not an ordinary accident.

However, in a fight of this level, what can I, who am just an ant, do?

Zhou Wang fell into a new confusion.

……

In the next few days, Zhou Wang met Ding Yi in the grove next to the railway crossing every day as usual, read books with her, occasionally told a few dirty jokes to tease her, and enjoyed the sweetness of summer in the girl's coquettishness.

Occasionally, Zhou Wang would suddenly feel emotional and think that if things continued like this, it would be hard for him and Ding Yi to not end up together.

Unfortunately, this is just a fictional copy after all. The real Ding Yi is no longer the shy little white flower blooming in the mountains.

Until the evening of that day, as usual, Zhou Wang walked with Ding Yi to the intersection from a distance of several meters. But this time, Ding Yi did not rush to get in the car, but hesitated instead.

"what happened?"

Seeing Ding Yi hesitant to speak, Zhou Wang couldn't help but be surprised.

"Well...my parents know that I made a new friend, and they want to invite you to my house for dinner. Do you want to go?"

Ding Yi was unusually shy. "Of course, I know this sounds a bit strange, but that's how our family is taught. You don't have to go..."

"Go, of course!"

Zhou Wang keenly realized that this might also be a link related to the [incident], and immediately nodded in agreement.
