Eight years have passed, he's still going strong, but his girlfriend is having a mental breakdo

Unfortunately, no one around me understands me. Every time I walk downstairs with my child, I see the gossipy looks from the aunties sitting and chatting. As I pass by, they talk behind my back.

[Others are one thing, but even my mom thinks I'm a disgrace... Why does this world treat a single mother with two children with such malice?]

My two sons are only a little different from us in skin color, what's wrong with that? My mother dislikes the baby's dark skin and refuses to help me take care of the children... She doesn't deserve to be the children's grandmother!

[What's worse is that when James was in China, he didn't have a Chinese bank card, so I had to pay for all his food and drink expenses, which maxed out my credit cards.]

I can't pay my credit card bills now, and my bank card has been frozen after the due date. My meager earnings from driving for Didi have been completely deducted. I need to file a petition with the court to retain funds for living expenses in order to get a portion of my income back.

Why is the whole world so hostile towards me? Was I wrong to pursue love?

Regardless, love is innocent!

I'm now willing to compromise with life, burying my youth and ideals. Is there any older brother who's willing to help me through this difficult time? I'm willing to try dating you.

[If the conditions are right, we can get married. You'll then have two chocolate-colored babies, skipping the most tiring parts like potty training and nighttime feedings, and directly have two sons.]

If you treat them like your own sons and treat them with sincerity, I will teach them to be filial to you in the future.

[The system has detected that the host possesses sufficient financial resources. Would the host be willing to help this mother and her two children?]

The beauty of vibrant colors lies in their unity... Accept the quest and you will receive two chocolate-colored, robust adopted sons.

"No! No! No!"

Zhao Hongan shouted repeatedly.

A strong and healthy adopted son...

Is this old man afraid that his adopted son can't beat him?

They actually sent two strong, chocolate-colored men.

Zhao Hong'an would never discriminate against that person, provided that she didn't appear in front of him or on this land.

[Refuse to take over the same problems twice, uphold the orthodoxy of the Han dynasty, and you will be rewarded with 2 free attribute points.]

"I knew Brother Tongzi wouldn't let me down."

Zhao Hong'an even wanted to hug and kiss Brother Tongzi.

He didn't rush to add those two free attribute points to himself.

His attribute points are quite high now.

Zhao Hongan now possesses skill 5, which allows him to view the attribute panel of a specified character and allocate attribute points to the bound target.

He needs to reserve two free attribute points in case of emergencies where he needs them urgently, so he won't be caught off guard.

Zhao Hong'an then claimed the reward for the second task transaction.

[Trading is stalled on the Aotai Line; trading assistance needed.]

My name is Liu Yanzhou, and I am a businessman. My wife and I are both hiking enthusiasts; we met and fell in love while hiking.

Three days ago, we trekked the Aotai Line together, along with my assistant Zhao Jie. Yesterday, we got separated due to heavy fog.

I've lost contact with my assistant Zhao Jie, my wife, and myself.

I'm lost in the mountains. My phone has no signal, and I don't know my exact location or which way to go. To make matters worse, before I got separated from my companions, my assistant, Zhao Jie, offered to carry my supplies so I could take care of him...

He meant well but caused a mess. Now, I have no supplies. I'm thirsty and hungry. I can endure the hunger for a while, but the thirst is unbearable.

I'm dehydrated, I'm dying of thirst, it's so painful. If anyone would give me a bottle of water, I'd pay a thousand dollars... no, ten thousand dollars.

[Task loading...]

[A bottled water has been detected near the host. Would the host be willing to pay with one bottle of water to complete the transaction?]

"On the Aotai line, I got separated from my partners. Coincidentally, before we got separated, my assistant Zhao Jie offered to carry my supplies..."

"Who is your favorite rapper in 'The Rap of China'?"

"Brother, you've probably been cheated on, haven't you? You're Brother Liang... no, you're Wu Dalang."

Zhao Hong'an didn't know if he had paranoia or if he was just an outsider with a clearer perspective.

Anyway, he saw assistant Zhao Jie offer to help Liu Yanzhou carry supplies, and then they got separated...

I immediately realized that there must be something wrong here.

"The Aotai Trail is one of the most dangerous hiking routes in China. Every year, people go in and never come out again."

"This Liu Yanzhou was clearly framed; he even lost his supplies. His wife dared to team up with her assistant Zhao Jie to carry out this attack here, so they must have chosen the location carefully. They couldn't have let Liu Yanzhou get out."

In many places along the Aotai Railway, any problem would be fatal.

Zhao Hongan shook his head.

Let Liu Yanzhou drink a bottle of water to quench his thirst before he dies, so he can suffer less.

"Accept the mission, proceed with the trade."

Zhao Hongan made his choice.

A bottle of water on the table vanished into thin air.

Ding.

Zhao Hongan found an extra 10,000 yuan in his bank card.

……

Meanwhile, on the Aotai line.

A thick fog blanketed the area.

Liu Yanzhou's legs felt like they were filled with lead.

He could no longer walk.

It was damp and cold all around.

The key point is that he was extremely thirsty.

In this desolate wilderness, there's not a drop of water to be found...

Moreover, as a hiking enthusiast, Liu Yanzhou has some basic knowledge of outdoor survival.

He knew that even if he found a water source outdoors, it was undrinkable if it was stagnant.

If you drink it, you may experience vomiting and diarrhea, which can cause dehydration and make the situation worse.

"It's over."

"Am I going to die here?"

"Wife, Xiao Zhao...where are you? I wonder if you've managed to escape?"

Liu Yanzhou could no longer walk.

He lay on a rock and licked his dry lips.

At that moment, he wasn't thinking about his vast business empire, but about water...

"Um?"

Suddenly, Liu Yanzhou noticed a bottle of water placed under the large rock.

It is a bottle of water.

Liu Yanzhou rubbed his eyes...

The bottle of water is still there.

I'm not seeing things.

He quickly scrambled over and grabbed the bottle of water.

The bottle cap is sealed; it's a clean bottle of water.

Liu Yanzhou unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back, and gulped down almost half the bottle in one go.

The water is so cold, it feels so refreshing to drink it down.

He had never thought water tasted so good.

Liu Yanzhou was still not satisfied, but he dared not drink anymore.

He knew that water resources were precious.

If you drink this bottle of water all at once, it will be excreted in a short time, and may even take some water out of your body.

Take small sips, and drink only a couple of sips each time.

This is a method for surviving when there is a lack of water outdoors.

Liu Yanzhou quickly searched the surrounding area to see if there was any more water or supplies.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find it.

Underneath the bottle of water, they found only a note with a single line of text written on it.
