Xiao Ze was dragged into the Childhood Tutorial Center. He didn't struggle to get free on the stairs at first, but now it didn't matter anymore.
When the girl finds that she can't convince him, she will naturally let him go, since he is just under the overpass.
Lu Yao let go of Xiao Ze, picked up a bubble gun from the shelf, turned around and prepared to go out, then turned back and waved to Erxin who was hiding behind the shelf: "Erxin baby, come and accompany this brother, I'll be back soon."
The tricolor gas tank rolled its eyes, trotted over with a cat-like step, and rubbed against the customer's legs: "Meow~"
There is always something good in what Lu Yao says.
Erxin's little brain is very clever.
Xiao Ze let out a breath, it turned out to be a cat.
When the shop owner called out "baby", his heart skipped a beat and he thought for a moment he had entered some strange shop.
Xiao Ze looked down and saw a huge mass of flesh leaning towards his legs, so he subconsciously took a step back.
The calico pig didn't get its leg rubbed, so it raised its head aggrievedly and meowed.
Xiao Ze's heart softened and he couldn't help but squat down and reach out his hand carefully.
Erxin leaned forward with his head. His face was big and round, and his eyes were round.
Xiao Ze was a little surprised. The cat was fat, had a good personality, and had smooth skin. He couldn't stop touching it.
After a few minutes, Lu Yao came back with the bubble gun.
In the evening, a few stray cats came to the store door and scratched the glass and refused to leave.
Lu Yao fed them something and suddenly got inspired. He used telepathy to read the stray cats' thoughts and got some strange information.
At the intersection of No. 66 Sanhua Road, people always fall from great heights.
Stray cats occasionally pass by, but they don't like to get close.
But Piglet's Heart was so attractive to the cats that the cats couldn't help but come running over. Unexpectedly, they could get to eat the delicious meat cans.
Lu Yao didn’t quite understand it at the time, because when the stray cat’s inner thoughts were converted into human language, it was a long string of “delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious” mixed with one or two key words.
Just now, when Lu Yao saw Xiao Ze walking towards the pedestrian bridge with a wooden face, an idea suddenly occurred to him and he broke out in a cold sweat.
There were no other protective measures at hand, and it was already night. Fortunately, the bubble guns in the store were all specially made toys, and some special types could be used in conjunction with magic.
Lu Yao just used a bubble gun to spread a layer of magic bubble net over the Childhood Tutorial Center. It was invisible to the naked eye unless something hit it.
"It's called Erxin." Lu Yao put the bubble gun back on the shelf. "Come in and sit down. I'll make some tea."
Xiao Ze stood up with Er Xin in his arms and followed Lu Yao: "What did you do just now?"
Lu Yao led Xiao Ze to sit in one of the glass tea rooms, made some tea, and brought a nine-square snack plate filled with various candies. Then he sat down opposite Xiao Ze: "I was afraid that someone might accidentally fall from the overpass at night, so I took some protective measures."
Xiao Ze lowered his eyes: "... unnecessary."
Lu Yao pushed the teacup over and said, "This is this year's new tea, it's very fragrant. By the way, we met this morning, do you still remember me? My name is Lu Yao."
Xiao Ze picked up the teacup and sniffed it, a little surprised.
This tea is really fragrant, with a refreshing and light aroma, completely different from the tea bags you usually buy in supermarkets.
He lowered his head and took a sip. The hot tea, with its refreshing fragrance and a hint of sweetness, passed through his throat and flowed into his stomach. He relaxed unconsciously. "Xiao Ze. I was just rushing to work this morning and just picked up the flyer."
Erxin jumped off Xiao Ze and lay down at Lu Yao's feet, raising and flicking his tail from time to time.
Lu Yao took a piece of chicken strip from under the table and gave it to Xiao Ze, then gently pushed the snack box in front of Xiao Ze: "This is the candy in the store, Mr. Xiao, have a try."
On the mahogany nine-grid snack plate, there are long strips of soft candy covered with sugar, fruit-flavored QQ candies, White Rabbit milk candies, plum candies, bear-shaped lollipops, cookies, assorted jellies, and two kinds of old-fashioned pastries, pea yellow and osmanthus cake.
Xiao Ze didn't want to eat them, but these candies were made very cutely. The soft candies were rainbow-colored, the QQ candies were shaped like mini fruits, and the White Rabbit milk candies were wrapped in candy paper with a white background and blue stripes... The light sour and sweet smell in the air mixed with the refreshing tea fragrance was indeed quite appetizing.
The shop owner's eyes were gentle, and he seemed to be encouraging him to give it a try.
Xiao Ze reached out and took a crescent-shaped candy, and when he got closer he found that it was a slice of orange. It tasted soft and chewy, yet very chewy.
It's orange flavored gummy candy.
Xiao Ze had long disliked this kind of stuff for coaxing children, but he couldn't help but reached out and took a grape candy.
Seeing that Xiao Ze didn't seem to want to talk, Lu Yao took a comic book from the bookshelf, sat next to him and read it, and casually threw a chicken strip to Erxin.
The little piglet bravely pounced on the chicken strips, held the strips tightly in its arms with its two paws, and ate them with relish.
Xiao Ze raised his eyes and observed Lu Yao, occasionally reaching out to eat the candies in the nine-square grid.
The girl has fair skin, black hair, a beautiful face, and a golden lotus earring on her left ear. She exudes a peaceful and calm aura.
In his 22 years of life, Xiao Ze had never seen such a woman.
Or rather, I have never seen such a person.
"Aren't you from Sanhua City?" Xiao Ze couldn't help but ask what was in his mind.
Lu Yao put the comic book on his lap and nodded: "Can you tell?"
Xiao Ze shook his head, then nodded: "Locals won't buy shops here. Almost every week, several lives are lost at this intersection."
Lu Yao frowned: "Is there no one in charge?"
Xiao Ze raised the corners of his lips and smiled woodenly: "Who cares? There were people protesting at the beginning, but it happened too much later and people became numb."
Xiao Ze leaned back in his chair, his face dejected: "You shouldn't have stopped me. You can't stop me."
Lu Yao put the book on the table, stood up, walked around the shelf, and took a bottle of bubble water from the second shelf.
The cylindrical green transparent glass bottle has a standing green dragon on the lid, and its appearance can be described as "exaggerated".
Lu Yao handed the Little Green Dragon Bubble Water to Xiao Ze: "You are the first customer of our shop, so I will give you a bottle of bubble water. When you go to bed at night, take it out and blow it, and I guarantee you will have a good sleep."
Xiao Ze couldn't help laughing, "I've seen many nice guys like you, but this is the first one who is so insincere. What's the point of bubble water? I'm not a primary school student."
Lu Yao casually said, "You guys also played with bubble water in elementary school."
The shop owner is very familiar with the tricks of asking questions.
Xiao Ze is in a very bad condition. At this time, talking about moral principles, such as cherishing life and cherishing being, is probably nonsense.
But a bottle of bubble water opened the conversation. Xiao Ze casually talked about the memories of playing bubble machines with his classmates in elementary school, and unknowingly said a lot.
Lu Yao sorted out some useful information from Xiao Ze's words.
The school system in this world is four years of primary school, three years of secondary school, and three years of university, a total of ten years.
Before the age of six, children are taken care of by community nannies because both parents have to work.
Most people graduate from college at the age of sixteen and start working after graduation.
Generally, upon graduation, the school will recommend suitable jobs based on the students' academic abilities and specialties.
But there are also some people who are not outstanding in any aspect and will be forced to fill in randomly.
Whenever a unit is short of people, those without special skills will be assigned to work there.
Xiao Ze was one of the replacements and worked in real estate sales after graduation.
After doing this for many years, he still isn't used to it, but he doesn't dare to quit easily.
Because people without special skills are very likely to not be able to find a new job after resigning.
This situation originated about sixty years ago. Taking a certain event as an opportunity, the world began to enter a stage of rapid development, with both science and technology and the economy making leaps and bounds.
In contrast, the human mortality rate began to rise sharply.
After investigation, 70% of them were not accidents but voluntary choices.
Experts have done a lot of related research, but still haven't found a clear cause.
Xiao Ze suddenly stopped talking when he finished speaking, lowered his head, and a blush spread from his neck to behind his ears.
He was so carried away that he started chatting with a stranger about his childhood, and his saliva dried up from talking.
Obviously, he is not a talkative person.
Lu Yao looked at the time and it was indeed late.
Most of the candies in the snack box have been gone. It seems that these foods from the snack bar, Maorongrong Shop and Yuguizhai are still very much to Xiao Ze's taste.
Although he says he is no longer a child.
Lu Yao stood up, packed a box of various candies, and handed it to the embarrassed Xiao Ze: "Mr. Xiao, when you are tired, take some sugar, and you will feel more relaxed. When you go to bed at night, remember to play with the little green dragon bubble water for a while. You are welcome to come and play again next time when you are free."
Xiao Ze was embarrassed and asked how much it cost. He planned to buy candy and bubble water, but he couldn't persuade the owner.
In the end, he still went out with the candy box and bubble water, and looked up at the sky before leaving.
Lu Yao discovered that all the street lights outside were out and the entire block was pitch black. Only the sign of the Childhood Tutorial Center was on. He took out a magic stone from his portable warehouse and made an eternal lamp. He was about to hand it to Xiao Ze, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Ze's fingers glowing.
Lu Yao widened his eyes: "Your hand..."
Xiao Ze waved his glowing fingers lightly. "It's a useless ability at ordinary times. It can barely be used as a light. I'm leaving first."
Xiao Ze walked out a few steps and turned to walk towards the company.
He's going to get his phone back.
Lu Yao was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses: "That... could it be... a superpower?"
System: [This person's ability is hilarious, a small flashlight on his finger. How can he have such a useless superpower? Hahahaha.]
Lu Yao fell into deep thought. So, the trigger that shocked the world sixty years ago was the awakening of human superpowers
-
Xiao Ze retrieved his phone and returned to the apartment. It was already late at night.
He came out of the shower and sat on the bed, playing with the little green dragon on the bubble water bottle. Thinking back on the bizarre experience of the day, it seemed unreal.
The doorbell suddenly rang. Xiao Ze got up to answer the door and saw Xu Xiaoxiao through the video camera.
He didn't open the door, but just asked: "What's the matter?"
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was outside the door, was wearing a nightgown and leaning against the door, "Xiao Ze, I want to sleep with you."
Xiao Ze: "... I'm not in the mood today."
Xu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. This was the first time Xiao Ze rejected her. "Is there something you want? Open the door!"
Xiao Ze knows Xu Xiaoxiao very well. If he lets her in, he will have no chance of sleeping tonight.
But if she remained stiff, she might have to stand outside all night.
Xu Xiaoxiao is very stubborn, and he had experienced this deeply when they first met.
If things don't go her way, things will always turn out to be ugly.
Xiao Ze turned around and saw the half-opened candy box. He was moved and turned around to pick up the candy box and stuffed it through the crack in the door: "This is for you, take it back and eat it. I'm really tired today."
Xu Xiaoxiao immediately pushed against the door to prevent Xiao Ze from closing it, "Don't try to get rid of me."
Xiao Ze finally let Xu Xiaoxiao in.
Xu Xiaoxiao tore open the candy box and couldn't stop eating after taking a bite: "Where did you buy this candy?"
Xiao Ze sat on the edge of the bed, not wanting to talk. He touched the bubble water that he had just put down, remembered Lu Yao's words, unscrewed the lid, and blew it hard in one breath.
Bubbles with a faint fragrance flew around the room. Xu Xiaoxiao chewed candy and laughed at the side: "You went to elementary school today? Childish."
The bubbles popped, and the soothing potion filled the room.
Xiao Ze suddenly felt his eyelids become heavy. He slowly fell onto the bed, closed his eyes, rolled up the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep the next second.
Xu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on the sofa, let go of the candy box, leaned against the pillow, and fell asleep in a daze.
That night, Xiao Ze and Xu Xiaoxiao both had dreams about their childhood, and when they woke up they felt very relaxed.
Xu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa and rubbed her eyes, "Why did I fall asleep here?"
Xiao Ze picked up the bubble water that fell on the ground, his face solemn, "Don't go to work today, go to the hospital for a full body check-up."
