Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire! - Chapter 642

642 Extremely Shocked
After leaving, Ye Chan looked at the scorching sun in the sky that was covered by clouds and the lazy afternoon breeze. She could not help but yawn. She looked at her best friend and spoke.

“Do you want some tea or coffee?”

“It’s fine. Heh— Ah, I’m sleepy at noon. Speaking of which, life is really fast now. I feel like I’m going to be busy the entire day. I’m doing this and that. It’s nothing much. I just want a very leisurely life. If only I could live in seclusion in the forest. How good would it be to live in the mountains for a while?”

Her best friend looked at the busy road and sighed from the bottom of her heart as she listened to the commotion in the city and the non-stop notifications from her cell phone.

In fact, Ye Chan had heard this kind of complaint more than once. Ever since her best friend’s company started operating normally and the annual profit was very objective, she had already heard her mention it.
She earned a lot and was usually more tired. It was a rare opportunity to come out and play for a day and sleep well. It was even more so now. Although the various problems in the company could be postponed, without an assistant, her best friend was under a lot of pressure every day. This made her often complain that it would be good if she could live in seclusion in the forest.

However, if she really asked her best friend to go, she probably wouldn’t be able to do it. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t be able to completely let go of everything they had worked so hard for and return to live in the mountains where there was no one, perhaps very few people, no clamor, no internet, no electricity, and no various modern services. It was hard to make them endure that kind of loneliness.

What she wanted, or rather, what many people wanted, was just a short period of time to take leave, rest, completely hide from the world, and spend time with their true selves.

After putting down everything, they would not have to worry about many things. They would not have to worry about their future. They would not have to worry about how to walk. They would not have to worry about their business, family, dreams, and future.

Everything was removed from their minds. They just sat by the river and listened to the sound of the water. They watched the tadpoles swim past or watched the small fish and prawns move.

They could listen to the rain and drink a comfortable cup of warm tea. They could also go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, wild vegetables, hunt, and make all kinds of food that they liked to eat.

They might see a rabbit die in front of a tree and laugh until their stomachs hurt because of its foolishness. They might also feel sympathy for its misery and cry.

They could see animals wandering around. Sometimes, the animals would stand by the roadside or in the forest, or they would look at the people curiously from the trees and talk to each other about why they were here.

They might also see the animals bang their heads on the door of their cabin one day and beg for food while looking at the humans.

There was no trouble waiting for them to resolve. There was no anxiety for them to worry about. They just had to sit there and watch the dawn break and the darkness envelop them.

They could watch the four seasons change, watch the rain fall, and watch the snow rise.

In the past, Ye Chan could only express that she had the same expectations. Then, the two of them would talk about life in the forest. Just like what was mentioned above, many beautiful things could happen.

She could only fantasize, look forward to it, and comfort her best friend at the same time. This was because she had no choice. She had not found a place to live in seclusion, nor did she have the determination to live in seclusion.

But now, everything was different.

“I know a paradise. How about it? Do you want to go there and play?”

Ye Chan looked at her best friend as she raised her eyebrows and smiled. With her previous experience with her little brother, she was now very confident in her words.

However, her best friend only pursed her lips when she heard her words and replied to her.

“Really? Don’t tell me you’re talking about the suburbs?”

Ye Chan rolled her eyes at her. She naturally knew what the suburbs were like. It was definitely not comparable to paradise.

“You’ll know when you get there. Don’t be surprised when the time comes.”

Her best friend still pursed her lips to express her disbelief. However, since she had already said so, it didn’t matter if she went to take a look.

Hence, she followed Ye Chan into the car. As soon as she got in, she spoke.

“If that’s not the case, you have to treat me to dinner.”

“Hmph, if the opposite happens, you have to treat me to a meal. Wear your seatbelt. We should be there in an hour.”

Ye Chan spoke confidently. Then, she started the car and turned the steering wheel to get on the main road. Under the golden sun, the car sparkled and looked very beautiful.

After about an hour, they arrived at the place. The scenery outside the window had changed from the buildings of the city to large trees and short mountains. The hustle and bustle of the city could not be heard here at all. All they could hear was the cries of birds and autumn cicadas.

There was also a thin breeze that brushed past the shadows of the treetops.

“How is it? Is it quiet here? Does it smell like paradise?”

Ye Chan asked confidently. However, her best friend rolled her eyes speechlessly and sighed.

“I say, Ye Chan, the paradise I’m talking about has a lot of peach trees, just like Peach Blossom Island. There are also all kinds of beautiful sceneries. There’s a stream, a small house, and a small bridge with flowing water. What are you talking about? Isn’t it just a mountain village…”

Her best friend clearly felt that things were not going well. She rolled her eyes and looked at the mountain outside without much change in her emotions.

Ye Chan smiled and parked the car at the entrance of a mountain road. She got out of the car and pointed at the mountain road with a smile.

“You’ll know when we get there. Let’s go.”

With that, she led her unwilling best friend onto the muddy and rugged mountain path that had yet to dry from the rain and walked towards the mountainside.

After a while, they arrived at the mountainside. Then, Ye Chan brought her best friend into the mountainside and stepped onto another road.

This road was much better than the muddy mountain path from before. It was surrounded by forests, and the cold wind blowing from inside was comparable to an air conditioner. However, the wind blew in waves, and it was cold and hot.

This road was downhill. After walking on this road for a while, they arrived at the place.

It was spring in front of them. A bamboo forest and a fruit forest stood on both sides. There was a small stream in the middle. Not far from the stream, there was a pond. Green algae floated on the green water in the pond, and small fish jumped out of the water.

There was a small wooden house by the stream. There was a big tree planted behind the wooden house. The tree was filled with red fruits, which decorated the entire wooden house. It looked very beautiful.

When her best friend saw this, she felt as if she had suddenly been enlightened. Her mouth was especially wide open, and her eyes were as wide as a cow’s. She was especially shocked.

She had never thought that such a beautiful place would exist in this short mountain. She was simply amazed.
