Episode 3: Qilian helps Jiang Xiaoyuan

Qi Lian had been following Jiang Xiaoyuan, saying that they were from the same hometown and wanted to confirm that she had a place to stay. In order not to be exposed, Jiang Xiaoyuan decided to get rid of him as soon as possible, but unexpectedly he ran into a dead end. No matter how he hid, he would be discovered. So Jiang Xiaoyuan hid in the women’s toilet and took the opportunity to escape through the window. Jiang Xiaoyuan, who had been hungry for a long time, took out the two coins she had left, looked at the price list on the wall, and ordered two-thirds of a bowl of rice.

Qi Lian never gave up looking for Xu Jingyang. He accidentally encountered Jiang Xiaoyuan eating white rice and was in a state of desolation, so he asked someone to investigate what happened to her in Chongqing. Jiang Xiaoyuan, a daughter of a wealthy family, never thought that being hungry would be so uncomfortable.

Jiang Xiaoyuan was thinking about finding a job, but she was robbed when she turned around. Qilian descended from the sky to save her again, but Jiang Xiaoyuan scolded him for his bad temper. Qilian ignored it and gave her some money to find a place to live quickly. Jiang Xiaoyuan’s eyes were red. She hated such charity, but Qi Lian was right. Without his help, Jiang Xiaoyuan would not have been able to survive the night.

Qi Lian took Jiang Xiaoyuan to a hotel. They said nothing along the way. Before leaving, Jiang Xiaoyuan asked Qi Lian how to pay back the money. Qi Lian asked her to call her father’s mobile phone number. The two hundred yuan given by Qilian was just enough for a standard room here for one night, but it did not include breakfast, so Jiang Xiaoyuan went to the Internet cafe to apply for a network management job. But Jiang Xiaoyuan took the wrong path and accidentally entered the recruitment site for anchors. She didn’t check into the hotel arranged by Qilian, so he was anxious to look for someone.

Jiang Xiaoyuan became a network administrator because of her good-looking face. She ate instant noodles and had a dream in a trance. At eight o’clock the next morning, Jiang Xiaoyuan got off work, and her residence was the grocery room behind the Internet cafe. Qilian searched all the Internet cafes in this area, but could not find Jiang Xiaoyuan. Jiang Xiaoyuan didn’t realize that she had entered a black Internet cafe. She ate a bowl of wontons with the 200 yuan given by Qilian, bought some daily necessities, and bought a mobile phone charger.

Only this mobile phone traveled through time with Jiang Xiaoyuan. Jiang Xiaoyuan firmly believed that she would be able to contact the original world through her. After so long, she really missed home. The mobile phone was turned on, but her father’s call was still unreachable. Instead, a man who claimed to be his uncle said that her father had a cerebral infarction and needed surgery money.

Jiang Xiaoyuan ignored the scam and turned around to be found by Qi Lian again. From Qilian’s point of view, it was strange that Jiang Xiaoyuan pretended not to know him since the two had not seen each other for six years, but only Jiang Xiaoyuan knew and no one could help her.

In the next few days, Jiang Xiaoyuan ate wontons for five yuan a night, worked as a network administrator in an Internet cafe, and lived a homeless life. Qi Lian has been worried about her and has been staring at her silently. Until today, Jiang Xiaoyuan was touched by a gangster in an Internet cafe. Jiang Xiaoyuan beat the person and threatened the boss to pay her salary and leave, and finally received a salary of 300 yuan. Jiang Xiaoyuan immediately went to Qi Lian to pay back the money and came to a house according to the address he said.
