Chapter 1111: Return to Linshui

~6 min read 1,200 words

"Let go?!"

Yang Tianyou pinched out the smoke in his hand, pondering his wife's words.

The starry sky is beautiful, and the city glittering with dazzling lights beneath the night sky is even more beautiful.

This kind of beauty is different from ordinary beauty; it is a beauty of civilization.

And I am one of the people who created this beautiful scene.

Looking back over these years, I have gone from a local place step by step to my current position, having poured countless heart and sweat into it.

A strong feeling of reluctance wells up in his heart.

Compared with the things I used to want to do.

I really want to turn this place into something even better than Qiongzhou, giving me more motivation to come.

Now start letting go? Travel? Play cards? ………

Suddenly, the things I once craved so intensely no longer hold that much appeal.

"So I have already become the person Grandfather Tai wanted me to be!"

Yang Tianyou gave a wry smile.

All along, what I wanted to abandon has become what I am reluctant to let go.

People truly can be artificially shaped into the form others desire.

Human nature is the most unfathomable; the more one ponders it, Yang Tianyou feels he begins to doubt his own life.

"Do what you want to do, whether it's Grandfather Tai's ambition or your own ambition."

"Perhaps the version of myself I think I am is not the true me."

The plane pierced the clouds and slowly descended into Qiongzhou.

Qiongzhou's changes are truly great, increasingly resembling a futuristic sci‑fi world.

The Qiongzhou brochures in my hand.

The hiking trail network is fully opened; the island‑circling cycling route is fully opened; the island‑circling sightseeing sky‑rail train is fully opened; the Qiongzhou RV travel line is fully opened; the Qiongzhou low‑altitude flight tourism line is fully opened; the island‑circling cruise line around Qiongzhou is fully opened.

There are also tourism routes linking Qiongzhou and several major archipelagos.

As the plane landed, Yang Tianyou could see a multitude of low‑altitude aircraft flying in the distance.

Qiongzhou has already shed its wheel‑based economic model.

It is moving toward the sky.

For travel to Linshui, Yang Tianyou still chose a car.

However, two low‑altitude aircraft were responsible for his security.

Autonomous driving has become the mainstream along the way.

There were no reckless speeding or random lane‑cutting incidents.

Qiongzhou's Internet of Things and smart transportation have already dominated the entire traffic system.

Yang Tianyou asked his driver.

"What situation would arise if we intervene forcefully?"

The driver told him.

"The Internet of Things uses blockchain technology, so it doesn't rely heavily on the internet."

"Within the IoT Crystal Element, the IoT rules have long been written."

"If I forcibly control the car to act against the rules."

"The IoT Crystal Element will immediately broadcast the incident."

"The illegal car and driver will be quickly locked onto."

"I would lose the chance to drive in Qiongzhou, and the vehicle would need to be re‑evaluated and have its permissions reduced."

"For example, speed‑limited to only use the rightmost lane at 80 mph."

Here a unique set of rules has already formed; this is also called a standard.

Yizhou is only just beginning.

He now has a clearer understanding of the Internet of Things.

His mobile phone also has an IoT Crystal Element built in.

It can clearly identify that it is a mobile phone.

No matter where it is thrown, it can be quickly located.

This kind of locating is not positioning.

It is the positional coordinates between machines.

When Yang Qing reappeared, an electric wheelchair robot was by the old man's side.

It allows Yang Qing to rest at any time.

The wheelchair also has a built‑in mini fridge.

So Yang Qing can enjoy a cold drink at any time.

Behind the wheelchair is a sunshade umbrella that can be raised at any moment.

Yang Qing walked briskly, and upon seeing Yang Tianyou, raised a hand to greet.

"You're here?!"

"Here I am."

"Now that you're here, let's go home; your grandmother is waiting for you."

"Then I'll head over."

"Go ahead."

Yang Tianyou walked inward.

Xue Min assisted Yang Qing.

"Grandpa, I'll take you out for a walk."

Yang Qing chuckled.

"You go too, no need to accompany me, I'll just wander aimlessly."

He is not used to cultivating feelings with juniors.

Feelings don't need to be expressed; giving each other confidence and freedom is enough.

After the people left, Yang Qing sat in the wheelchair.

The wheelchair took him, rushing toward the beach.

On the beach, as always, bikinis.

Here the beautiful women are also especially many.

The wheelchair slowly turned into a lounge chair, the sunshade opened, the small fridge opened.

Yang Qing took out a pair of sunglasses, put them on, then picked up a cold drink, and lay down lazily.

After a moment, a sip of cold drink.

Not long after, a group of small children ran over.

"Great-grandpa, great-grandpa."

Yang Qing couldn't even remember whose children these were; anyway they are his great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren.

Yang Qing patted each one's head.

"Go play."

Occasionally a few bikini-clad women see Yang Qing and come over.

"Yang Lao, we invite you to drink coconut juice."

Yang Qing accepted it.

"Thank you, thank you."

"When did Xiao Na come back?"

"Xiao Li, I heard your father arranged a blind date for you, still at our family company, I heard he's outstanding, what do you think."

"Xiao Xiao, you're smart, married early, no pressure to marry, children both, already enjoying life."

Xiao Xiao glanced at him.

"I envy the sisters, each successful in their careers. Not like me, just starting to strive."

"Xiao Xiao, don't take advantage and act cute; you've just started striving, yet from the start you got support from your parents and husband, you already have the fruits of our years of struggle, your starting point is much higher than ours."

"Yeah, we like us, can only struggle hard on our own."

"Still young, should listen to Yang Lao, marry early, finish the task, then no worries."

"Yeah, Xiao Cui married early too, divorced, took the property she got and started a company, doing not bad, ex-husband often brings the kids to meet, considered nothing wasted, start better than us."

"Her husband now also has no temper, stays home with the kids, became a free male nanny, he still can't have any complaints."

"That's deserved, he has no ability, still many things, divorced, that's not being obedient."

Yang Qing enjoyed their massages, listening to their envy, jealousy, and hatred.

The unmarried envy the married early, the married early envy the unmarried.

Anyway, everyone thinks others are better.

Yang Qing just listened like that, occasionally saying a sentence.

When they had problems, occasionally giving pointers.

After a while, they would disperse on their own, not causing annoyance.

Yang Qing very much enjoyed this feeling.

The vigor of young people makes him feel he is still young.

After resting a while, the wheelchair robot collected things, then took him home.

At this time Yang Tianyou had already been affectionate with his family and Chen Hong and them.
