Chapter 100

From time to time, she glanced at Ning Chen beside her.

Moving forward like this, far in the distance.

The endless mountain ranges of Mount Kunlun could already be seen.

Twenty kilometers from the Mount Kunlun pass lies the Hoh Xil Management Station.

Under normal circumstances, it is basically impossible for an individual to enter the hinterland of Hoh Xil.

Unless it is under the guise of scientific research.

Of course, what ordinary people claim to have visited in Hoh Xil.

actually refers to National Highway 109.

For entering Tibet, one generally departs from Ge'er City, follows Highway 109 all the way to Sonam Protection Station, then continues forward through Qinghai Province towards Tibet, or simply returns the way they came.

This route follows the edge of Hoh Xil and is relatively much safer.

Otherwise, the dangers within are truly terrifying.

Last August, a female student from China Southern Airlines, disregarding warnings, entered the hinterland of Hoh Xil.

It is said that the girl was very capable, having once trekked across the deserts of Africa.

But Hoh Xil and deserts are, after all, not the same thing.

Later, she never came out again.

After completing the registration at the management station, since they were traveling along Highway 109 and ultimately heading to Tibet, the RV was quickly allowed through.

There are no repair shops near the management station.

So Wang Yue, naturally, continued to follow the RV.

Moving forward quietly.

The scenery on both sides of the road also began to change.

Before, it was still grassland.

Now, the grassland began to degrade, turning into sand, gravel, and Gobi desert.

It was clearly daytime, but at this moment, the sky lacked the feeling of blue skies and white clouds typical of the plateau.

The sky had become very low; the reason it was so low was that layers of clouds were densely packed, pressing down, making the RV feel very close to the sky; if a sound were made a little louder, it seemed it would startle the layered clouds of Donghua Tianyu.

Thus, after a while.

Far ahead in the distance, a service station appeared.

Wang Yue did not expect to encounter a service station at all.

Yet she heard the person beside her say, "You can think about it a bit more."

Wang Yue was stunned, looking at Ning Chen, "Think about what?"

"This is the last service station before entering Hoh Xil," the RV slowly came to a stop, Ning Chen loosened his grip on the steering wheel, rested one arm on the window beside him, looked forward, and said, "I am about to cross Hoh Xil; the entire distance is roughly over five hundred kilometers."

"These five hundred-plus kilometers may encounter many dangerous things you cannot accept; no one can predict this in advance; I am simply telling you the facts beforehand."

"If you are afraid, or have other thoughts, you can get off the RV at this service station; I believe the service station will find a way to repair your bicycle."

"Otherwise, if you miss this service station, once you have fully entered, and if you regret it and think about getting off, I will not stop you, but you definitely will not survive to get out."

"Consider it; once you have considered it clearly, tell me."

Ning Chen spoke no more.

Hearing Ning Chen's words.

Wang Yue suddenly fell into turmoil.

This person spoke very clearly.

But Wang Yue's original plan was indeed to cycle into Tibet.

But that was her naive thought before.

Before encountering the Tibetans blocking the road, she truly knew nothing about the dangers of entering Tibet.

Actually.

The reason this Miss Wang Yue chose to cycle into Tibet alone this time.

was simply to give herself a chance.

A few months ago, she had just graduated from university.

Graduation season is also the season of breakups.

She and her boyfriend, whom she had dated for four years in university, broke up.

Actually, before this, her close female friends, one by one, had broken up with their boyfriends just before graduation.

Before this, she had also imagined countless times what reason she and her boyfriend would use to break up.

Her boyfriend's family conditions were very ordinary, truly very, very ordinary; according to current trends, the pattern of "breakup upon graduation" seemed tailor-made for boys with his family background.

Because he would definitely be unable to afford a house and a car for a very long time in the future; the only thing he could give her was promises and promises.

They had been together for four years.

He was honest and hardworking, working while studying to earn money, and had once worked part-time to buy her gifts and clothes.

She had also given too much for him.

In short, both of them actually worked very hard, striving to become the only one for whom they could grow old together.

But...

Many things are not solved just by effort.

She had her family; her parents would not agree to her being with someone of his background.

He also had his family; his parents were in poor health, and he had a younger sister in high school.

The bond between two poor college students could only exist in fairy tales.

68. (6/7) On the road into Tibet, a cool girl cyclist asks for help (5)

She would always remember — back then, that boy, so she wouldn't feel guilty, so she wouldn't be put in a difficult spot, had taken the initiative to break up, and before he even finished saying the words "break up," he was already crying his eyes out, using the sharp pull-tab of a beverage can to slash the back of his hand until it was covered in blood and torn to shreds.

She had held him right then, saying it was okay, really it was okay, she knew, she knew it all.

Her best friend later advised her, saying a boy like this who could hurt himself, this kind of person was prone to extremes, breaking up was the right call, and told her to guard against him pestering her later, doing something extreme.

But...

He really never came to bother her again.

Never bothered her again.

Today was the first day of November.

They had been apart for five months already.

She would always remember — he would no longer disturb her life.

He had truly kept his word.

But.

Only she was left alone.

How was she to walk out of it?

Only now, these five months, growing more and more agonizing, did she finally understand — the pain at the moment of breaking up would, in the time that followed, be magnified to such a tragic extent!

How she wished he hadn't been so good to her, how she wished he hadn't considered her future happiness, and just taken her with him — even if it meant taking her to die.

But he had already gone back to his hometown.

Leaving her alone, in the city where they had spent four years of college together, all by herself.

Everything in that city that had once been so familiar, after this, began to be agonizing to look at.

More than once, at midnight, she saw him quietly enter her QQ zone, leaving a visit record.

But when he left, he would take the initiative to clear the visit record.

Someone said.

Time would kill everything.

Including the greatest love in this world.

So Wang Yue decided to give it a try.

So she chose to cycle into Tibet.

It is said that Tibet is the resting place of every person's soul.

She had already decided — after this trip to Tibet, she would truly forget him.

Her parents had already arranged a blind date for her; they had been urging her for a long time.
