A month later.
In the morning.
At a prison.
This was a single cell. The facilities were very old, but the hygiene was relatively clean. There were no other people inside, only Zhang Ye. This was Zhang Ye's third day here. With no one to disturb him, no television, no Internet, it was really fucking peaceful. The only drawback was that his days were a little monotonous. Other than sleeping, he had nothing else to do. He didn't know how it would feel to others, but for someone like Zhang Ye who would feel uncomfortable if he did not scold or fight, it was indeed a little boring.
News?
Fans?
Media?
Everything in the outside world was isolated from the outside world.
Zhang Ye would also find something for himself to do. When he had nothing better to do, he would sing.
And now, this fellow was singing again.
"Iron doors, iron windows, iron chains.
"Hands on the bars, looking out.
"Life on the outside is so beautiful.
"When can I return to my home.
"When can I return to my home.
"Lock me down with chains."
"My friend, listen to me sing —"
Outside, a young prison guard walked over, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Teacher Zhang, why are you singing this song again? Can you change it to something else? You've sung it more than 20 times in the past few days. "
A popular song from the 1980s, "Tears Behind Prison Bars," from Zhang Ye's previous world, was tormenting the prison guards every day.
Zhang Ye threw up his hands in boredom. "If I don't sing, what else should I do?"
The young prison guard said excitedly, "Why don't you write a novel? Write a TV series or something? I have nothing better to do anyway, and I really like the things you write. "
Zhang Ye nodded. "I can consider writing a TV series."
The young prison guard said excitedly, "What do you want to write?"
Zhang Ye asked, "Eh, has anyone written a story about a prison break before?"
The young prison guard nearly fell to the ground. He hurriedly said, "I think you should sing 'Tears Behind Prison Bars' instead!"
"Haha, I was just joking." Zhang Ye was amused.
The young prison guard opened the cell door. "Don't scare me like that. Someone's visiting, so get ready."
"Who is it?" Zhang Ye perked up when he heard that.
The young prison guard smiled and said, "It's your parents and father-in-law."
Zhang Ye waved it off. "Then I won't go."
The young prison guard said, "Uh."
Although that was what he said, Zhang Ye still stood up and came out. "Hai, what good can come of them coming? Believe it or not, I'll bet with you that it's definitely going to be a denouncement conference! "
The young prison guard laughed and said, "Teacher Zhang, to be honest, I've seen so many prisoners over the years, but you're the one with the best mentality I've ever seen. A lot of people who come here have a huge change in personality, but I've never seen someone like you who sings every day to entertain themselves. Otherwise, you'd be my idol."
Zhang Ye rolled his eyes. "I've already sung 'Tears Behind Prison Bars', so how can I be in a good mood? Let's go."
Outside.
After a few turns, they arrived at the visitation room.
From afar, Zhang Ye could see his family.
There was no shouting.
He didn't hug her head and cry.
It had already been a month since the incident, and everyone had already calmed down.
His mother didn't wait for her son to sit down before she said, "Keep going, keep going. Let's see how you're going to fight now. Let's see how you fight now."
Zhang Ye strolled over and sat down. "Why am I still fighting? You have to wait for me to get out."
"Ah?" Wu Changhe said angrily, "So you're still thinking about fighting?"
Zhang Ye asked, "Dad, where's my wife? Why are you guys the only ones here? "
Wu Changhe said angrily, "So you didn't want us to come?"
Of course.
But of course, Zhang Ye didn't dare to say that out loud.
Li Qinqin said, "Zeqing said that she would come."
His father stared at him. "Zeqing is about to give birth. Who would dare to let her move at a time like this? We stopped her no matter what. "
"Is she alright?" Zhang Ye asked with concern.
His mother harrumphed, "Other than you, all of us are fine."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved."
Li Qinqin criticized, "You've really worried us this time. It's only because Zeqing is so carefree and doesn't worry about anything. Do you know how worried your parents and I were? Before the court handed down the sentence, there was even a media outlet that wrote that you might get a life sentence. It scared us so much that we couldn't sleep well for the next two days. "
Zhang Ye chuckled. "Mom, which media outlet wrote that? Tell me, when I go out and look for them, what life sentence? It's not like I killed anyone or committed arson. I was just doing justice and fighting for the country and its people. You guys have to think on the bright side. If it weren't for this incident, would I have been able to reach the summit of the Asian entertainment circle? Even if I could, it might have taken me a year or two, or even three to five years. This is what we call spending money in advance. For the next few years, I'll just rest up and recharge my batteries. When I get out, I'll definitely help you guys reach the summit of the international entertainment circle! "
His mother curled her lips and said, "Stop bragging."
Li Qinqin looked at her watch. "It's almost visiting hours, right?"
"Mom, don't worry, we'll talk." Zhang Ye waved it off. "I'm familiar with this place, so no one will care if we chat for a few hours. But you guys don't have to come if you don't have anything to do. Old Wu is at a critical juncture right now. Since you're all here, are you going to leave Old Wu alone at home? Go back early. I'm fine, so don't worry. "
His parents glanced at him and felt that he was indeed fine. He was even more energetic than when he was outside. Before coming here, they were quite worried that they would see a disheveled and dispirited Zhang Ye. But it looked like they were overthinking things. What had this kid not been through before? There really weren't many things that could defeat him. Just look, he had only been here for three days, but he was already familiar with the prison guards and had a good relationship with the prison warden. When they first came in, the prison warden even personally received them.
Pretty good.
Yes, pretty good.
…
…
In the prison cell.
After meeting his parents, Zhang Ye came back and started thinking about something.
He couldn't go on like this anymore. He really had to find something proper to do. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to keep up with the times when he got out. He had to accumulate experience and recharge his batteries. That goal of reaching the summit of the international entertainment circle had never been forgotten by Zhang Ye ever since he debuted.
Couldn't get on the Internet?
Couldn't produce any works?
But he could still learn more skills.
Like lock picking?
Like climbing over walls?
All of these could be used when he got out — uh, it seemed like they could be used here.
Forget it, time for the lottery draw!
Even if he couldn't do anything else, it wouldn't be a problem for him to do the lottery draw. Furthermore, with the Reputation Points that Zhang Ye had accumulated in the game ring, he wouldn't be able to finish it even if he spent three days and three nights at the lottery draw!
Come, come, come!
Draw, draw, draw!
However, when Zhang Ye opened the game ring, he saw a system notification appear. The total Reputation Points had been reached. The game ring had been upgraded again. In the beginning, the game ring only had one type of lottery draw, which was the Treasure Chest (Small). After it was upgraded, the second type of lottery draw appeared, which was the Treasure Chest (Medium). This time, the game ring was upgraded again, and the Treasure Chest (Large) appeared!
