Chapter 1 A New Start

Xu Jingming left the bedroom and walked to the basement. The basement was over a hundred square meters, with three long spears placed against the wall. Xu Jingming casually picked one up. The spear was silver-gray, two meters fifty-six in length, with a buffer layer on the spearhead. Although he was relaxed and casual when chatting with Senior Brother Fang, and had dinner and chatted with his good brother Liu Chongyuan that night, Xu Jingming felt a fire burning in his heart.

"Xiao Bai, activate training monitoring," Xu Jingming said.

"Xiao Bai received."

Lights lit up in the basement, and cameras began to operate.

Xu Jingming pulled the long spear with both hands, and the spear vibrated with a 'bang'. Xu Jingming's spear stance was a reverse stance. Most traditional spear users held the end of the spear with their right hand and the waist of the spear with their left. But Xu Jingming held the waist of the spear with his right hand and the end of the spear with his left.

He strode forward, and as he moved, he exerted force instantly, thrusting the spear out.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

The long spear was like an arrow, as if seven or eight arrows were shot in succession, trying to pierce through all the enemies in front, each spear tearing through the air with a sharp whistle.

Data appeared on the wall of light and shadow...

Faced with threats and inducements, Li Miaomiao unhesitatingly blacklisted the other party and switched platforms directly!

"Actually, our income is high enough. There's no need to make ourselves too tired," Li Miaomiao comforted her boyfriend.

"Yeah," Xu Jingming nodded.

They had discussed it earlier, blacklisting Cheng Zihao's contact information to avoid seeing him.

"Are you planning to go back to Mingyue City next?" Li Miaomiao asked.

"Yeah, it's easy to open a martial arts gym in Mingyue City and work as a high-end private tutor," Xu Jingming asked. "Are you planning to go back with me this time? We're getting our marriage certificate on New Year's Day. Go back early to meet your parents-in-law."

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao had a good relationship and had agreed to get their marriage certificate on New Year's Day, symbolizing 'a lifetime'. Both sets of parents had met and agreed.

"If we go back to Mingyue City, we'll be living there for a long time," Li Miaomiao looked at the living room. "Many things here have to be moved over. I also have to say goodbye to my friends in Binhai City. I've been in Binhai since I went to college. After so many years, I'm really reluctant to leave."

"If you really can't bear to leave..." Xu Jingming started.

"Let's go back. I want to go back to my hometown too," Li Miaomiao smiled. "Mingyue City, my parents, grandparents, and maternal grandparents are all there. I want to go back too."

They were indeed destined. They met in the game and both came from Mingyue City.

"You go back first and clean up the house in Mingyue City, prepare everything," Li Miaomiao said. "I have to say goodbye to my friends, and I have to arrange for my assistant."

She hired two assistants to handle some of her business affairs. When she went to Mingyue City, the two assistants would have to go with her. Moving and renting a house needed to be arranged.

"Okay," Xu Jingming nodded. The house he bought had been empty for several years, but his parents often took robots to clean it.

"Go take a shower first. You're all sweaty and smell of alcohol. Didn't I tell you not to drink?" Li Miaomiao said with a pout.

"Da Xiong came this time. I haven't seen him in over a year, so I had a little beer," Xu Jingming said. "I'll go take a shower first." He immediately ran out of the living room.

Li Miaomiao sat on the sofa, thinking about her life with Xu Jingming in Mingyue City, feeling happy.

"Ding."

A screen appeared in front of Li Miaomiao, showing a middle-aged couple.

"Dad, Mom," Li Miaomiao called out happily, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"We ate it early," the middle-aged man asked, "Miaomiao, your uncle came to our house tonight."

"Uncle? Hasn't he not visited us in years? He didn't even come to the banquet for relatives when I went to college," Li Miaomiao wondered. Her uncle's wife had an influential figure in her family. After her uncle's family hitched a ride, they had become rich after years of operation, with a net worth of over one billion. Her uncle and his wife looked down on the poor relatives on Li's side and rarely interacted with them.

"Why would he come if there was nothing going on?" Li's mother snorted. "He came this time for your sake, Miaomiao."

"My business?" Li Miaomiao asked in confusion.

"He wants you to be Cheng Zihao, the son of the Cheng family's girlfriend. He came to our house to persuade us," Li's mother said angrily. "This shameless old man wants to sell his daughter for glory. He should sell his own daughter! Let my daughter jump into that fire pit! That Cheng Zihao is a playboy who has said more than once in variety shows that he doesn't believe in marriage. Does this kind of playboy deserve my daughter?"

Li's father also said, "Your mother and I scolded him and chased your uncle away. That Cheng Zihao isn't someone to live with. Xiao Xu is someone to live with steadily. Your mother and I support you."

"Thank you, Mom and Dad," Li Miaomiao smiled. Her parents' firm support gave her a lot less trouble.

"Miaomiao, your future husband is the one who will be with you the longest, not us," Li's father looked at his daughter. "Your mother and I are old, so you have to choose a good husband! Marriage is like a second reincarnation for a woman. The ancients said that women are afraid of marrying the wrong man! Xiao Xu is a down-to-earth martial artist. After retiring, he spends most of his time practicing martial arts. With my eye for people, he's still pretty good."

"Yeah," Li Miaomiao nodded.

After chatting for a long time, Li Miaomiao and her parents ended the video call.

…

On the other side of the video call.

Li's father and Li's mother sat in the living room.

"Wife, you have to take care of Miaomiao more in the future," Li's father said.

"Chen An, are you going to keep your illness from Miaomiao like this?" Li's mother's eyes turned red.

Li's father shook his head and said, "You know, I have a terminal illness. Even if I go through all kinds of medical treatments, I'll only live for a year or two, and it'll be miserable. Conservative treatment, living happily, can also last about a year, which is fine. I'm just thinking about my daughter getting married happily, and don't want to bother them at this time. When they get married, and my illness can't be suppressed, I'll tell them in the last month."

"Telling her now is useless, it will only increase her troubles," Li's father said with a smile. "The less troubled days in a person's life, the better, and the more happy days, the better. I just hope my daughter has more happy days."

"You, you always think about others in this life," Li's mother said with red eyes.

"Didn't I scold my eldest brother today? I scolded him so much that he was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe I dared to scold him like that," Li's father laughed. The closer he got to death, the more clearly he saw things.

Life is just like this. Being happy and happy is the most important thing.
