Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

I was born in a suburb of Hai City, not far from my uncle Mancheng's home.

When I was born, there were not many families living here. I didn’t think it was a big deal when I was a baby, but as I grew up and became a little kid, I felt very uncomfortable without any playmates.

I am naturally active and lively, and I really want to have a good friend of the same age to play with me. This idea was solved when I came to Mancheng.

She is about the same age as me. I first met her a long time ago. At that time, I climbed onto the roof and sat on the eaves, looking into the distance boredly.

This is something I often do when I am bored. I love looking at the tracks in the distance where a train passes by every once in a while.

It was also when I was watching a train passing by and was looking around out of boredom that I saw her. She was leading the hand of Hua's mother (my future mother-in-law) to a house.

I stared at the little kid who was the same age as me with curiosity. Would she stay and play with me when she came here?! I really wanted to have a good friend.

After a while, the family who rarely went out opened the door, and the male owner talked to his mother-in-law outside the door for a while. Then I saw that the little kid who was being led was replaced by the male owner inside the door.

The mother-in-law outside the door left with red eyes.

It was also from this angle that I saw the little girl's face. She was a very beautiful girl.

She looked like the doll I saw in the window the last time my mother took me downtown.

Even more exquisite than a doll.

I really want to get to know her and be friends with her.

When my parents came back in the evening, I told them about this incident and said that a real doll had appeared in the alley.

My parents probably saw that I didn’t have many peers to play with and was all alone at home, and they were afraid that I would become autistic.

Agreed to my request.

The next day, I plucked up the courage to knock on the door.

The one who opened the door was the doll I saw yesterday. She looked at me with caution and said in a childish voice, "Who are you?"

"My name is Wu Lingfeng. I want to play with you. Is that okay?"

I stared blankly at the exquisite doll in front of me and told her my purpose.

What I didn’t expect was that the doll was a little unkind and rejected me directly.

But I won't give up. This is the first time I've seen a child the same age as me since I was born.

After a while, I knocked on the door again.

It was she who opened the door again. She looked at me impatiently. I hurriedly said again: "I want to be friends with you! Please!"

What she answered me was another cold and ruthless rejection, "Go back, I don't need friends."

The door suddenly closed as she finished speaking.

I knocked on the door and kept begging loudly: "You are the first child I have seen since I was born. I am telling the truth. I really want to get to know you and be friends with you."

Perhaps these words touched her, and she opened the door again, but this time she said just one word: "OK."

In this way we became good friends, and when I got along with her, I found that she was too introverted and didn't like to talk to people.

Like the doll in the window, it is pretty but cannot speak.

I didn't understand. I always thought that the games I came up with were not fun enough, so I took out a lot of new games from my father's books and played them with her.

But playing those new games couldn't make her truly open up.

I had a headache and there was nothing I could do but take her out to play day after day.

Just when I felt that she was talking more and more every day and there was some hope, something unfortunate happened and her family came to take her home.

For the first time, she said goodbye to me while crying and took off the red string on her head and gave it to me.

I held back my sadness and didn't cry. I tightly held the red rope in my hand. She and I agreed to meet here next time and not to forget each other. Whoever forgets will be a puppy.

In the end, we never got to meet again. One day, my father came back and said that something happened at home and he needed to move to the base in Beijing.

I went to Beijing passively. There was no way my parents would leave me here alone.

Before leaving, I wrote a small note and passed it through the door through which we officially became friends.

Using the few Chinese characters I knew, I wrote two sentences with many typos.

"After I leave, you Xi Nu will remember me. Don't kill me, you are my good Yue Yue You."

I also knew about the reunion after the note, but she didn't know about it. I think maybe the person who saw it at the time didn't take it seriously, or maybe it was swept away unconsciously when someone was cleaning, or maybe it was blown away by the wind.

After returning to Jing City and living in the military compound, I found out what my parents did for a living. I learned that the two of us were discovered by the Military Control Commission while disguising our roles in Hai City, and that our identities in Jing City were my parents' real jobs.

I also met my biological brother, who has a different personality from me.

I was good in everything except my physical condition. Because of this, I became the child in the family who needed to join the army.

My father started to be strict with me and disciplined me ruthlessly since I was a child. My mother also restricted me, and apart from my studies, my life was filled with nothing but practicing martial arts.

I am the type of person who cannot bear to do one thing all the time. I would try to find ways to avoid practicing, but my father would always catch me and make me practice even harder.

This makes me miss the good friend I met in Haishi so much. I was free when playing with her.

No matter what you want to play, she will be there to accompany you.

He won’t be like my father, who controls me, restricts me and deprives me of my freedom.

After I grew up, my father sent me to the border to serve as a soldier without asking me a single question, where I saw an even crueler world.

Whenever I can’t hold on any longer, I will think of my childhood playmate, who must have grown up by now.

I don’t know if she looked for me again after we broke up. My heart was in a panic when I thought of the scene of her crying and looking for me but never finding me.

I really wanted to see her and see how she had changed, so I took the initiative to apply to go to Hai City Armed Forces to train new recruits. Despite the misunderstanding of my superiors and comrades, I returned to Hai City alone.

The mirage has become somewhat different from what I remember, and I am seeing many places for the first time.

I went to the door in my memory and knocked, but no one opened it for me.

I tried several times and found that there seemed to be no one inside.

After this clue was broken, I found a retired comrade-in-arms to investigate the archives from more than ten years ago. I followed the clue of the owner of the house to find the relationship line, and then found the people related to this relationship line through the police system.

It was through these that I learned about the great changes that had taken place in her family and helped her solve the problem. But I didn't know where she had gone, and I promised her parents that I would find her.

Coincidentally, God blessed me and I successfully found her.

No matter whether she remembers the past or not, I will feel at ease as long as I find her.

After having more contact with her as she grew up, I found that she attracted me even more, just like the doll I saw in the window when I was a child turned into a living person.

This made me not want to suppress my inner feelings anymore, so I confessed to her.

She agreed to me, and I was so excited that I wanted to release myself, so I kissed her deeply. It was at this moment that I stopped hiding myself and became a fish that cannot live without water.

I think she is the only sweetness in my peaceful and boring life, my candy.

In order to keep Tangguo by my side forever, I tried to transfer back to Haishi as soon as possible and marry her home.

Working hard was useful. In less than a year, I was transferred to Hai City and successfully married her.

My brother also married his future sister-in-law after my wife became pregnant.

Life is complete, and having her by my side throughout my life is the greatest happiness.

"The hour hand waits for the rhythm of the minute hand, and the sun waits for the dawn to rise. Some say that if mountains don't meet, people will meet again. Some say that when the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is better than countless things in the world. What I want to say is that I didn't understand what it means to be unable to control my feelings until I met the eldest lady."
