Chapter 398 (Extra 1) That Person Looks Like a Dog

My name is Lu Zijin, I am twenty-five years old and a homeless man.

Five years ago, I was not where I am now.

Five years ago, I didn't have long, greasy, dirty, messy hair. I didn't wear shabby but neat clothes, and I didn't eat dry steamed buns that cost a dollar each.

But I also said, that was five years ago.

Everything five years ago seemed like a dream to me.

The only thing that reminded me that it was not a dream but reality was the 24-hour bookstore.

I didn't know that bookstores could still be open 24 hours a day.

I thought bookstores were all decorated in different styles, very literary and artistic, and only open for eight hours a day.

Little did he know that it could be open 24 hours a day like a convenience store.

Later I learned that bookstores and convenience stores have the same nature.

It’s just that one fills the stomach, and the other fills the spirit.

At first, I disliked this 24-hour bookstore.

Even if it doesn't have a soft sofa, it doesn't even have a stool.

If you want to read a book, you can only choose to stand, lean against the wall, or sit directly on the floor.

To be honest, I, who have received a good education, cannot accept it.

So I looked for a lot of other bookstores in the city.

Either it's not open 24 hours a day, or it just doesn't like me looking like a homeless person.

Finally, after going around in circles, I returned to this bookstore.

And at first glance, it was five years.

Late that night, as usual, I wanted to go into the bookstore and read all night. I saw that I went out early in the morning to buy a steamed bun and eat it while walking. I just finished eating when I reached the bridge hole, and then went to bed.

However, I was stopped by a middle-aged woman.

This is not the first time I have seen her mocking eyes and contemptuous words.

I lowered my head and let her scold me, preparing to go in again when she was tired of scolding her.

Anyway, I have plenty of time.

At this moment, a woman as beautiful as a fairy appeared.

She exchanged words with the middle-aged woman unceremoniously, and the middle-aged woman was so angry that she ran away.

It’s the first time I’ve seen a woman so careless about her image, and it’s also the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful woman.

But, so what?

What does it have to do with me?

I entered the bookstore easily without any obstruction from the middle-aged woman.

I thought everything would be the same as before.

However, the woman came to me.

She struck up a conversation with me and said that I didn’t know where I had gone when I was studying. She asked me my name.

She is really different from other women.

In the past five years, almost all young women have frowned and backed away unconsciously after seeing me.

It was as if there was some kind of plague on my body.

But she didn't.

But I still don't want to talk to her.

I don't want to have contact with people, not even gods.

But she actually bought all the books I wanted to read.

This woman...what does she like about me?

She threatened to never let me see the books again if I didn't go with her.

No, I must read the book, otherwise how can I have a chance for revenge?

So, I boarded a pirate ship named Bing Ning, and from then on, I never got off again.

Until she died, until I watched her body being cremated, until, I am holding the necklace around my neck.

I lowered my head to look at the shining "diamond" on the necklace.

Another five years.

Bing Ning has been gone for five years.

In the past five years, countless people have asked me where I bought the "diamond" hanging on this necklace.
