Giant's Column National Park west of Tucson, Arizona.

It was already the evening of the next day.

The sun sets in the west.

Simon leaned in front of the Chevrolet SUV, smiling and looking into the distance. Janet held up the camera and took photos with great interest around several giant saguaro cactus that were seven or eight meters high.

Early this morning, Simon was pulled up by a woman.

The two drove out of Coolidge City and headed north to the famous Grand Canyon National Park, where they had a great time. When they returned in the afternoon, Janet was obviously still interested in seeing the saguaro cactus, so she came here.

In total, the two of them drove more than 700 kilometers throughout the whole day, crossing most of Arizona.

Feeling that Simon had been looking at her, Janet quickly ran back and said: "It's such a big cactus. I really want to take one home. It would be cool to plant it in the yard."

Simon imagined a seven- to eight-meter-tall cactus appearing in his yard, and said with a smile: "I don't know if it's cool or not, but someone will definitely make trouble for us. Okay, after playing for a day, we

Is it time to go back?"

Janet threw the camera in the car, turned around, and climbed onto the hood again.

Simon looked at Janet sitting on the hood, patted her calf and said, "Sit tight, I'll drive."

Janet smiled and pulled Simon and said, "Little boy, come up too."

Simon didn't refuse and sat on it.

The hood of the Chevrolet SUV is very wide, more than enough for two people to squeeze in.

Simon sat down on the hood and leaned against the front window, looking through several tall cacti and looking at the setting sun that was about to sink into the horizon at the edge of the endless wilderness. Some inexplicable emotions arose unknowingly.

Janet came over like a cat, touched Simon's cheek, and said, "Little boy, do you think I'm too clingy?"

"No," Simon shook his head and said, "I quite like this feeling."

Janet lay down, pillowed Simon's shoulder, and whispered: "Actually, I don't want to either, I just can't help it. Besides, do you really not remember what day today is?"

Simon thought for a while, but still shook his head.

Janet reached over, took out the wallet from Simon's coat pocket, opened it, and showed it in front of him.

Simon looked at the driver's license in front of him carefully before saying, "It turns out it's my birthday, I forgot."

Simon didn't care much about his birthday in his previous life, and he didn't take it to heart after his rebirth. He didn't expect Janet to remember it, and even rushed here from Los Angeles.

Somewhat moved, he put his arms around the woman and put a little force on her.

Janet came over very cooperatively, and the two kissed each other.

After being entangled for a while, they separated, but Janet was still clinging to Simon. She reached out and touched his cheek, saying: "After today, I can no longer call you little boy. In fact, I originally wanted to prepare carefully.

Just for a moment. But since you don’t care, you’re not ready. I’ve always felt that blowing out candles on a cake is silly.”

Simon just smiled, feeling Janet's soft body, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "Speaking of which, I don't know your age yet. Come on, show me your driver's license."

"How rude, asking for a lady's age," Janet patted Simon, then simply took out a card from her pocket and handed it to him: "Hey."

Simon took it and held it in front of his eyes to look at it.

DOB:02/22/68.

Um?

Something seems wrong.

So he held up his driver's license again.

DOB:02/22/68.

Janet also leaned in to look at it together, and then said in surprise: "Wow, what a coincidence, our birthdays are exactly the same."

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

With a look of helplessness, Simon grabbed the woman and slapped her twice on the buttocks.

"Haha, it hurts, it's so violent."

Janet giggled and twisted around to snatch back her 'driver's license'.

Simon had never cared about Janet's age, and just asked casually. Since the woman didn't want him to know, he stopped pursuing it.

After his rebirth, Simon found that he took too many things lightly. Although he worked very hard to do some things, deep down, he had an indescribable alienation and indifference towards everything around him.

Janet pressed her face against Simon's chest, listened quietly to the man's powerful heartbeat for a while, and suddenly murmured: "Little boy, I love you, do you know?"

Simon looked at the burning clouds that remained after the sunset on the horizon, nodded and said: "I know."

"But, I also know that you don't love me," Janet continued to murmur, raised her hand, pressed it on Simon's heart as well, and whispered: "It's so cold here, I really want to help you get out of it."

Simon hugged the woman and said, "It's getting dark. Let's go back. You can try hot compress at night."

"It's not funny at all," Janet slapped Simon gently and whispered: "Actually, I really want to know everything about you, but you definitely won't tell me, right?"

"Um."

Janet rubbed her face gently on Simon's chest and said: "Little boy, no matter what, I will not become your tie. However, you must also promise that even if you don't love me in your heart, you will always do this.

Accommodate me, pamper me, pamper me."

"Of course, I will," Simon nodded and said, "However, I think it's better for you to be my tie. Without the tie, I would probably run away to destroy the world."

When Janet heard what Simon said, she chuckled and said, "Little boy, do you know what my dream has been since I was a child?"

"what?"

Janet raised her head, looked into Simon's eyes, and said seriously: "Destroy the world like the villains in the movies."

Simon showed a frightened expression and said: "Fortunately, you are too lazy, otherwise everyone would be unlucky."

Janet curled up the corners of her mouth, put it back on Simon's chest, and said, "But now you can help me realize this dream."

"This, it's a bit difficult. Besides, this world is bad enough, we'd better let it survive on its own."

Janet's tone suddenly became a little stubborn and she insisted: "No."

"How about we change to a less difficult goal and conquer the world first?"

"Yeah."

Simon smiled and looked up at the darkening sky and said, "So, before we conquer the world, should we go back quickly? This is a wilderness. I don't even know if there are wolves in Arizona."

"Haha," Janet chuckled, but she hugged Simon to prevent him from moving and said, "No, I haven't stayed enough."

Simon pinched Janet's delicate face indulgently and said, "Well, who told you that today is your birthday."

Janet opened her mouth and bit the finger that Simon stretched out, and then said: "Simon, there is one more thing. Regarding the contract we signed, there will be a lot of money this time. I have thought about it, I

I can’t take it, you just need to return the original $400,000 to me.”

Simon did not answer, but asked instead: "Have you calculated how much money Orion will make this time?"

Janet nodded, curled her lips, and said: "They may be able to get 50 million U.S. dollars from the box office alone. We even paid for the copies. Orion didn't invest much at all. It's really cheap for them."

Simon's fingers traced Janet's lip line to stop her from pouting, and said with a smile: "But I don't think they got much at all, because they deserve it. If I had chosen to cooperate with Qida,

It is simply impossible to get the conditions given by Orion. Likewise, you deserve the future share of the money you invested."

Janet looked over again and said: "But, I always feel that this is a bit unfair to you. You have done the most things, but you have received the least."

Simon leaned his head slightly, kissed the woman on the lips, and said: "Without you, I couldn't even do these things. So, this is fair. And, not only money, I actually got much more than you imagined."

.Remember Sanders who left last night? "The Butterfly Effect" is still in production. Counting the later share, the income I got from it may not be 500,000. But this time "Death is Coming", if I can

If we negotiate, I can get more than $5 million. Look, this is what I get."

Janet finally nodded: "Well, in this case, I will take the money."

Simon thought for a while and said: "Before you take it away, let me use this money for a period of time. This time it is considered a loan. If you make money, I won't give it to you, okay?"

"Yeah," Janet nodded, and then said, "What are you going to do?"

Simon looked at the woman and smiled: "I suddenly remembered that Catherine said you graduated from Columbia Business School. Can you play stock index futures?"

This year happens to be 1987, and the most profound impression of this year in Simon's memory is undoubtedly the great crash of the U.S. stock market. In this case, it makes no sense not to take advantage of such a good opportunity to accumulate some capital for yourself.

"Yes, I made some pocket money when I was in college," Janet's eyes flashed brightly when she heard Simon say this. She lost all her usual laziness and looked at him with bright eyes and said: "

Now a lot of people have started to enter the market, so, New York or Tokyo, which side are you going to bet on?"

Simon looked at Janet, whose temperament had suddenly changed, and stretched out his hand to pinch her little nose, and said with a smile: "We are not pressing on either side, just wait. However, since you are so interested, you will help me when the time comes.

Let’s take control.”

Janet opened Simon's hand, leaned against him lazily, and said: "I won't help you, it's so tiring. Many of my former classmates are on Wall Street. Let them come when the time comes. Well, I can

I’ll keep an eye on it for you. But, Simon, unless you can predict things like stock index futures, no one can be sure.”

As expected, it is still more laborious than the one above.

Simon pinched the woman in his arms who was born with wealth and destiny, and said, "Maybe I can really predict the future."

Janet suddenly became interested again and asked: "Do you know when humans will become extinct?"

Simon was stunned and shook his head honestly.
