8 am.
The rain outside was getting heavier, and the wind was getting stronger.
After leaving Geng Yuehua's house, Dong Xuebing returned to his hostel. He closed the door and threw his umbrella and bag on the cabinet in the hall. He does not want to go downstairs for breakfast. But now, all the stalls will be closed, and Dong Xuebing does not want to be drenched. He stretched and leaned against the window sill. He looked at the rain and lit a cigarette.
The faint smell of washing powder and the cigarette entered his nose.
Dong Xuebing looked down and sniffed the cigarette between his fingers. The fragrance came from the cigarette. But I did not wash my clothes today. Where did the smell come from? Dong Xuebing remembered the time when he was at Geng Yuehua's house. The District Mayor's dark red underwear was still wet. It should be from that time.
Isn't this seductive?
This is killing me!
Dong Xuebing used his other hand to hold the cigarette and rubbed his fingers together. His imagination started to run wild. What material was the Mayor's underwear made of? He remembered it was soft and slippery. Was it made of silk? It doesn't seem like it. It was not absorbent. Was it made of cotton? It doesn't look like it.
Sigh … why am I thinking about it?
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing saw a familiar figure walking down the stairs to the courtyard. That figure was holding a black umbrella, and she was wearing grey trousers and a white blouse. It was the beautiful District Mayor, Geng Yuehua. It was still raining outside, and Dong Xuebing did not expect Geng Yuehua to go out in this weather. He blinked and realized that Geng Yuehua was still on the phone while walking to her car.
"I will go to the scene of the accident now! Send a few more ambulances! "
"Ask Chief Sun to send more people! Seal off the roads! Don't let the accident spread! "
"What? You can't contact him? What is he trying to do?! If he can't reach the scene within 10 minutes! I will hold him accountable! "
"Go and contact him now! Put the safety of the people first! Try your best to save him! "
Almost everyone in the building heard Geng Yuehua's shout. Quite a number of people leaned against the window to take a look. When they saw that it was District Chief Geng Yuehua, no one was surprised. District Chief Geng's working style had always been swift and decisive. She was very tough and very unreasonable. This was something that everyone who had worked in Nanshan District had experienced. Moreover, District Chief Geng was also the head of Guangming Street Office back then. Everyone had a deep understanding of her work style. Black Face District Chief — this was the nickname that many people privately gave to District Chief Yuehua.
Dong Xuebing heard the commotion downstairs and knew it was a series of car accidents. Leaders like him are the busiest during extreme weather.
However, the beautiful mayor was really fierce. Her voice was really loud.
Dong Xuebing does not like overbearing leaders, as they are too unreasonable. He prefers leaders like Xie Huilan, who is always smiling. At least, he will feel less pressured and will not stare at him. But now, Dong Xuebing has a supervisor like Mayor Geng. He stubbed out his cigarette and called Party and Government Affairs Office Director Zhou Yanru.
"Hello, Director."
"Is there any traffic accident in the district?"
"Yes. I also heard about it. It seems there were seven to eight cars involved."
"I don't think the rain will stop anytime soon. Inform the people below to pay more attention to the traffic safety on the main roads, just in case. Take precautions in advance."
"Ok. I will make the call now."
Dong Xuebing put down his phone and stopped thinking about the material of Geng Yuehua's underwear. It was raining heavily, and he could not go out. What should he do in the next two days? Oh, I still don't know how to use the newly discovered REVERSE ability. I have been researching it, and I don't have the time. I will see what it is today. I must figure out how to use it. It will be a waste if I don't even know how to use it.
MENU — Dong Xuebing opened the menu. He has 7 minutes and 10 seconds left. He had used up some time previously, but he had accumulated some time.
Try again!
REVERSE！
Dong Xuebing gave the command, and the remaining time ticked away.
7 minutes and 9 seconds left!
7 minutes and 8 seconds left!
7 minutes and 7 seconds left!
Dong Xuebing immediately looked around. But it was still the same as before. There were no changes to the REVERSE ability.
Reverse stopped!
The remaining time had stopped!
Dong Xuebing rubbed his chin and thought for a while before chanting REVERSE again!
1 minute …
5 minutes …
10 minutes …
Dong Xuebing repeated the command a few times, but nothing happened. It's like REVERSE is only using the remaining time and has no effect!
What a headache!
What the hell is going on with this thing?
If translated into Chinese, it means reverse and go backwards. Isn't the return of BACK similar to this? How come BACK is more effective and not REVERSE?
What's reversed? I don't understand!
There are only 2 minutes left, and Dong Xuebing decided to stop. There's no point in continuing like this, and it will only be a waste of time.
Dong Xuebing decided to try again later.
Dong Xuebing lay on the windowsill and continued to smoke. His mind was working fast. Reverse … reverse … reverse … reverse …
After a while, Zhou Yanru called Dong Xuebing. "Director, I had sent someone down. The traffic is good, and there are not many cars."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Good."
"Do you have any other instructions?"
Rumble … Dong Xuebing's stomach was growling. He laughed. "My work is over, but I have some personal matters to attend to. Sister Zhou, do you have eggs at home? Can you lend me 2 eggs? "
Zhou Yanru paused. "Yes. You are …"
Dong Xuebing did not stand on ceremony with her. "I was about to go downstairs for breakfast, but it was raining. My fridge is empty, and I am worried about what to eat. Haha …"
"Ok. I will go over now."
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it. There's no need to thank me."
After a while, Zhou Yanru came upstairs with bags of groceries. Dong Xuebing was waiting for her at the door. He smiled when he saw the groceries in her hands. "This is too much. I only need 2 eggs."
Zhou Yanru, who was dressed like a housewife, smiled and entered the house. "I am afraid the rain will not stop, so I brought more for you. It's fine. I still have some at home. My husband had gone to the market yesterday and bought a lot of vegetables and meat. I had scolded him and was worried about how to eat. Haha … You don't need to prepare tea." Zhou Yanru rolled up her sleeves and said. "I will prepare breakfast for you."
Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed.
Dong Xuebing looked out of the window and turned. "I don't want to trouble you. I will do it myself."
"Don't." Zhou Yanru laughed. "Don't look at me like this. I am a good wife and mother. You must try my cooking today. Actually, I have not eaten yet. Hahaha." Dong Xuebing was in a good mood after listening to Zhou Yanru's nagging.
"You also have not eaten?" Dong Xuebing was afraid her husband might have other thoughts and said. "Then ask your husband to come up."
Zhou Yanru laughed and shook her head. She walked towards the kitchen. "Don't mind him. He is lazy and still sleeps at home. He doesn't eat breakfast on weekends."
Five minutes later, three poached eggs and two bowls of porridge were served on the table.
Zhou Yanru's cooking is good, but everyone has their own taste. Her family's taste might be heavier, and the poached eggs are slightly salty. But the taste is still acceptable.
While eating, Dong Xuebing was thinking about Reverse.
What's wrong? How come there are no effects at all?
Hmmm … could it be that there are already effects and I did not notice it? I did not notice it?
After finishing the poached egg, Dong Xuebing looked at Zhou Yanru, who was eating her porridge. "Do you know what Reverse is?"
Zhou Yanru replied embarrassedly. "English? I had not learned it before. I can only speak a few sentences in Russian. "
Dong Xuebing laughed and waved his hand to pretend he did not ask.
But when Dong Xuebing said Reverse, the command was activated immediately.
1 minute 58 seconds remaining …
1 minute 57 seconds remaining …
Dong Xuebing felt the time was getting shorter and wanted to cancel the command. He does not want to waste any more time. But before he could cancel the command, there was a loud clap of thunder!
Rumble!
The sound of thunder was ear-piercing! It was so loud that everyone's eardrums shook!
Zhou Yanru got a fright, and Dong Xuebing's arm trembled from the sound of thunder. Crash! He accidentally knocked over a glass of water on the table.
The cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces!
Zhou Yanru appeared very nervous. She stood up and said, "It didn't hurt you, did it?"
"I'm fine. Haha." Dong Xuebing laughed and looked down. He bent over to pick up the glass shards and forgot to cancel the command.
1 minute 50 seconds …
1 minute 49 seconds …
1 minute 48 seconds …
The remaining time was getting shorter.
But when Dong Xuebing was about to reach out to pick up the glass shards, something unbelievable happened. A few glass shards moved from the floor and gathered in front of Dong Xuebing's palm. Click … click … click … the glass shards reformed into a whole glass cup. There were no marks or cracks on it!
Damn!
Dong Xuebing was stunned. What happened?
This is … the effect of Reverse?
