You gave me a play, you watched me become fascinated.
The feelings you stripped from my heart, so painful I don't know how to let go.
I don't want these memories; don't ask me how it ends.
The sourness in my heart and the smile on my face; have long merged into one.
Li Xiaoqiang, wearing earplugs, sat on the Golden Nan Bridge, listening to Zhang Yu's "Words are Hard to Express" His heart ached and shattered. To give up on a love of over a decade was simply unrealistic.
The night enveloped his entire body, just like Liu Lulu had said, he wasn't her light. The roaring of cars behind him, the flashing neon lights seemed to mock his helplessness…
The bone-chilling river wind scraped across his cheeks like needles, causing a faint pain, the wind dried his eyes, filling them with bloodshot. Li Xiaoqiang fished out a pack of cigarettes from his embrace, lit one, and started smoking, one after another. In just an hour, he had already smoked over a dozen. All of a sudden, he stood up and roared towards the Golden Nan River, venting the frustration that had built up inside him.
At that moment, several sedans pulled over. The drivers hurriedly shouted, "Young man, don't jump; you're still young. If you need help, you can tell us."
Li Xiaoqiang turned to look at the well-meaning drivers and forced a smile, "Thank you all for your concern. I'm just blowing off some steam; I'm not looking to die. If I wanted to, my parents wouldn't agree, haha."
The drivers, feeling embarrassed, drove away, but one of them stopped. She was dressed sexily, in fashion, and a strong scent of perfume wafted towards him. She clasped her hands in front of her and walked up to Li Xiaoqiang, whispering, "Is it a heartbreak?"
Li Xiaoqiang turned to look at her, a very beautiful woman, whose intense femininity immediately overwhelmed him, making his heart tremble. He offered her a cigarette, and the sexy woman didn't say much, just started smoking with Li Xiaoqiang.
She smiled slightly and said, "Heartbreak is normal. To quickly get out of the mire of emotions, the best way is to find a new partner. I'll keep you company for the night, you can do whatever you want, and I'll only charge you 99 yuan, how about it?"
Li Xiaoqiang felt somewhat powerless and smiled helplessly, "Although you dress provocatively, your essence doesn't seem like that of a casual woman, and you drive a BMW. Why would you charge me 99?"
The sexy woman turned her head and gazed at Li Xiaoqiang, her eyes shimmering with a seductive gloss. She blew a puff of smoke towards Li Xiaoqiang's face, licked her sexy red lips, and whispered softly, "I like it!"
After saying that, she flicked her cigarette butt into the Golden Nan River, placed her hands on Li Xiaoqiang's neck, and without hesitation, kissed him…
But just as they got started, the sexy woman suddenly pushed Li Xiaoqiang away, laughed, and said, "Not bad kissing skills, it seems you practice often. This isn't the place for business, come on, I'll take you to a nice place."
After saying that, she pulled Li Xiaoqiang into the BMW sedan.
Li Xiaoqiang, sitting in the passenger seat, ridiculed himself, "This is my first time in a sedan, haha, luxury cars and buses really do feel completely different. Thank you for letting me experience the life of the rich for the first time."
The sexy woman, hearing this, laughed softly and said, "Alright, stop being sentimental. I hope we have a wonderful beginning tonight."
Li Xiaoqiang looked out the car window at the dazzling cityscape, the diverse crowd, and the uneven skyline of tall buildings, feeling a sense of emptiness. In this vast city, there was no place that belonged to him. He took a deep breath and asked, "May I know your name?"
The sexy woman smiled and said, "Zhou Wudie, the 'wu' from martial arts, the 'die' from butterfly. You can call me Xiaodie, haha... Don't dwell on the past. I need to make you happy tonight, or I would be a failure of a woman."
Li Xiaoqiang turned and stared at Zhou Wudie. She was mature and sexy, graceful in every glance and smile, and she drove a BMW with a propensity for taking initiative. If his guess was right, Zhou Wudie must be a management-level person, given her strong desire to be in control.
As they chatted, they soon arrived at their destination, a small hill in the suburbs. The car parked next to the road, and at that moment, Zhou Wudie turned her body towards Li Xiaoqiang, laughed softly, and said, "I've never experienced something like this before."
Li Xiaoqiang shook his head in secret. He hadn't expected that right after breaking up, he would meet and get to know a strange woman here. What a crazy world. Thinking back to when Liu Lulu said they should break up, gradually, resentment and dissatisfaction began to grow in his heart…
After he spoke, Li Xiaoqiang picked up Zhou Wudie, stepped out of the car door, and then placed her against the car…

However, just at that moment, an unexpected change occurred!
A slovenly old man appeared behind the two like a ghostly apparition, unnoticed by them. The old man furrowed his brow, his spotty face heavily wrinkled. Shaking his head, he glanced toward the distant sky as if he had made some significant decision.
His hands moved like fleeting shadows, striking the necks of the two, who instantly fainted in the car. With a flip of his hand, a golden Buddha bead appeared, engraved with the image of Sakyamuni Buddha. Beside it were the Tiger-Subduing Arhat and the Dragon-Subduing Arhat, with dazzling golden Buddha Light surrounding them. The slovenly old man sighed and said, "I am now in dire straits, this treasure must not fall into their hands. I shall bestow it upon this young man, hoping for a good outcome."
As the old man's voice fell, the golden Buddha bead flew to Li Xiaoqiang's brow and merged into it. At that moment, Li Xiaoqiang's body emitted a faint golden light, and within three breaths, his body returned to normal.
The slovenly old man breathed a sigh of relief, staring at Li Xiaoqiang and said, "A Buddha gives to those with fate, may it be..."
He didn't finish his sentence when his eyes sharpened like swords, focusing on the distance. Without hesitation, he turned and fled, vanishing into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
About ten minutes after the slovenly old man left, three figures dressed in black chased after him like sneaky rabbits.
Li Xiaoqiang felt dizzy, as though the whole world was spinning around him, his temples throbbing as if bitten by ants, an unbearable pain. His eyelids felt as heavy as lead and took several minutes to pry open.
He slowly sat up and looked around. It was the wee hours of the morning, with a faint light in the sky.
Zhou Wudie was still lying on his legs. Li Xiaoqiang rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice, "Ah, my head... why does it hurt so much."
Li Xiaoqiang recalled last night's events, frowning deeply, "Why did I suddenly faint? And... isn't this dream too strange? It said I am a descendant of the Mysterious Buddha Sect and obtained the Mysterious Fate Technique. How odd."
Li Xiaoqiang found the events in his dream incredible. A monk in kasaya from the Buddhist Sect told him about the origins of the Mysterious Buddha Sect, mentioning that their line was a branch of the sect, secluded in deep mountains and shunned by the orthodox Buddhist community, to the point of being chased down...
Anyway, the dream was very mystical, and Li Xiaoqiang couldn't help but marvel at it.
Seeing Zhou Wudie, who was still in a coma in front of him, Li Xiaoqiang hurriedly pushed her shoulder and said, "Hey, beauty, wake up, wake up..."
Zhou Wudie opened her eyes groggily, looked around, and rubbed her eyes, saying, "I don't know what happened yesterday; we both suddenly fainted. I feel this place is very weird. Let's leave quickly!"
Li Xiaoqiang, thinking about what happened last night and in the dream, agreed it was indeed bizarre. He shuddered involuntarily, swiftly sat in the passenger seat, and left the place with Zhou Wudie.
Sitting in the car, Li Xiaoqiang took out his mobile phone and saw, geez, a dozen missed calls and three messages. The missed calls were essentially from the three roommates in his dormitory; one of the messages was from Liu Lulu, expressing apologies, another was from the dormitory leader saying he wasn't at the dorm yesterday and was marked down by the counselor, the last one was from the counselor Tang Zhengqi, who threatened that because he was absent without leave, he would receive a demerit which would go on his record and prevent him from graduating.
Tang Zhengqi, isn't he Tang Junhua's cousin? It seems this guy is really out to get him, Li Xiaoqiang.
Zhou Wudie noticed the change in Li Xiaoqiang's demeanor and asked him with a puzzled look, "You're not upset because we didn't hook up last night, are you?"
Li Xiaoqiang looked at Zhou Wudie and forced a smile, "No, how could I be... ah... you... what happened to you?"
Zhou Wudie, seeing Li Xiaoqiang staring at her and suddenly screaming, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
At this, Zhou Wudie took down the rearview mirror to look at her face. There was nothing on it. What was he screaming about?
Li Xiaoqiang choked out, "It's nothing... just focus on driving!"
At that moment, Li Xiaoqiang's mind was in turmoil. Hovering above Zhou Wudie's head, he saw several balls of energy, each a different color, with gold, green, and pink being the most prominent.
Li Xiaoqiang recalled the high monk's words from last night's dream: the Mysterious Fate Technique could see through the fortunes and misfortunes of the immediate future. Could the dream from last night actually be real?
