About 70 kilometers northwest of Lingang, where the International Sleep Center IHC is located, is the downtown area of Shanghai since its opening to the sea.

From "upper corner" to "historical and cultural style area", only the name has changed, but the position of that place in people's hearts remains unchanged.

Although it is only the size of a few palms.

Old town, Shikumen, alleys have everything, and the temple is built in a snail shell.

In the past few decades, people have moved out continuously, but there are still people who are reluctant to move or have no choice but to live in it from generation to generation.

Until the exterior walls and appearance that have been restored to their old state are removed, the entire internal system is completely renewed.

Flush toilets, fiber-optic access, central air conditioning, insulation materials, micro elevators...

Since the emergence of flying cars, urban traffic has moved from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, and the traffic congestion in the city center that originally restricted its further development has been instantly solved. On the contrary, since the houses here are not high, it is easy to build a flat apron on the roof. The building can support the operation of at least four flying cars, allowing people who care about the prosperity to walk downstairs and reach the high-end shopping malls on Nanjing Road and the characteristic pubs on Julu Road. Those who like quietness can take a flying car and reach any corner of Shanghai within half an hour. They can also fly over Chongming Island or land directly on the Yangcheng Lake to taste crabs. In case of accidental illness, there are ten good hospitals within a radius of five kilometers.

So the old city has once again exuded a new charm.

This is especially true for the elderly and single young people.

The community where Tao Le lives is called Fenghou Village, located on Fuxing Road. The name of the community has not changed since the year the Qing Dynasty fell.

Facing the morning sun, she ran out of the building happily in a bright red knee-length skirt, walked through the narrow alley, smiled and greeted the uncles and grandmothers who came back from a walk to buy rice and soy milk, and rushed to the gate of the community on Fuxing Road like the wind.

"Ge Xiaonan, you are so happy every day..."

"It's a pity that she has a miserable life..."

The elders looked back at her youthful red back, showing an expression of approval and pity.

Tao Le stood on the side of the road, not caring about the dense sweat on her face, looking around anxiously, and her plump chest was slightly heaving.

She has become a scenery in the eyes of others.

A young man walked up to her and asked, "Miss, how do I get to the St. Regis Hotel?"

Tao Le looked at him and smiled slightly: "Don't use such a clumsy method, the bad water in your brain is about to overflow."

The man's face turned pale: "What do you mean?"

"You asked me how to get to the hotel first. After I answered you, you would say that it was your first time in Shanghai and you were unfamiliar with the place, so you asked me to take you there. When you arrived at the hotel entrance, you would thank me and invite me to have breakfast and drink coffee in the hotel. As long as I went into the hotel with you, what would happen next?"

"You are crazy! I just asked for directions, why do you imagine so many plots?"

"You don't have hands and mouths? Navigation is everywhere, can't you just ask your mobile phone or watch? If it doesn't work, there are police uncles at the intersection... If you don't have ulterior motives, why ask people?"

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

"I really ran into a ghost today..."

The man was angry and walked away cursing.

Tao Le snorted calmly.

She has encountered this situation many times.

She is naturally beautiful and can't resist being approached.

"Le Le, where are you going?"

A voice came from behind her.

Tao Le looked back and saw a middle-aged woman walking towards her quickly.

She had a delicate face and was slightly made up, but it couldn't hide the haggardness on her face.

Her eyes were full of concern for her.

"Aunt? I...wait for the bus to People's Square."

"What are you doing there so early?"

"Take a taxi to the city center station."

"Take a taxi, can't we just take it on the roof of our own building? Why go to People's Square?"

"They still have to go to work, so I won't fight with them for the taxi."

Aunt looked at her approvingly and felt a little relieved.

"Where are you going to take the taxi?"

"Lingang."

"So far? Why go to Lingang?"

The woman asked questions, Tao Le felt a little helpless, but she understood that this was Aunt's right.

After all, she was her guardian.

"I'm going to an internship at a company there."

"Which company? You're only in the second year of high school. Which company can accept minors for internship?"

"International Healing Center, IHC"

Tao Le reluctantly squeezed out these words.

But she knew that she couldn't hide it from her aunt.

Sure enough, when she heard these words, the woman was shocked, her eyes widened, and her whole body trembled.

"Le Le... Don't think too much... Your parents died because of that place, don't go there again... Your mother entrusted you to me before she died. I don't have any children either. I will support you to finish your studies and find you a good job..." "Aunt, it's not what you think. I'm not going to do a human cryogenic hibernation experiment. I won't freeze myself. I'm just doing an internship, working as a staff member there." "They really have the heart to recruit high school students for internships? That's too dark, right? I'm going to sue them!" "No, when I applied, I said I was a college student and an adult. Their AI review didn't seem to find that I had tampered with the materials." Tao Le's eyes flashed with a cunning. "..." The woman couldn't help but look up and down at her niece's beautiful face and well-proportioned figure. Indeed, she has grown into a beautiful girl with a better figure than herself. ......

Seeing that the aunt was still worried, Tao Le smiled and said, "Okay... Aunt, don't worry. I promise you that I will never participate in the experiment!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the woman's hand with both hands and shook it gently like a spoiled child.

The woman then forced a slight smile from her face.

"Okay... What time will you go home tonight? Will you have dinner at home?"

"Not sure, I'll leave you a message in advance."

Before the woman could react again, Tao Le caught a glimpse of the slowly swaying bus. She rushed to the platform, waited for the door to open, and stepped on it.

Before walking into the depths of the car, she leaned against the door and waved hard at the woman.

She looked like she was going on a long journey.

Turning his head, Tao Le restrained the smile on his face, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Wait... I'm coming."
