Xu Le did not decorate the bathroom very well. There was only a simple washbasin and a squat toilet, and there was not even a shower head. Not to mention the bed on the second floor, there was not even a straw mat. It was simply used as a small warehouse because Xu Le had to go home every day.
Even if there is a father-in-law and mother-in-law who look down on him at home,
Even if there is a bossy sister-in-law at home,
Even if he has a wife at home who doesn't sleep with him,
But Xu Le would still finish the limited work in the bookstore every day, close the shop at night, and go home leisurely.
This is the day,
There is no dignity.
I can't say I'm at ease.
But he enjoyed it.
He is cowardly, timid and has no ambition.
Because he is Xu Le, he is not some great figure who has left a name in history, so everyone thinks he is insignificant;
If you put on the identity of a certain ancient figure, you will feel that Xu Le's life is one of great wisdom and foolishness, which adds too much flavor to it.
Zhou Ze could not understand Xu Le's feelings. He grew up in an orphanage, and although he would not show his inferiority complex, it was always there. That's why he was sensitive and worked hard. This was true in his studies, work, and life. He always insisted on doing his best and being the best.
However, at this moment, looking at the wet face in the mirror, Zhou Ze felt a touch of pity in his heart.
Have mercy on Xu Le, and also have mercy on yourself.
Everyone has his own cage. The cages may be of different styles and sizes, but there is always a cage.
Zhou Ze didn't want to be a ghost king, nor did he expect to call the shots in the world of the living with his special powers. On the one hand, he knew that if he was too high-profile, bad things would probably happen soon. On the other hand, he was already very tired in his previous life, and wanted to change the way he lived in this life.
No matter what, he wanted to survive and continue living in this body.
He spread out his palm and placed it in front of himself. His nails had long since faded away, and there was no sign of anything unusual.
Zhou Ze smiled.
never mind,
Maybe it's what I deserve.
Zhou Ze wiped his face and hands with a towel and walked out of the bathroom. However, when he came out again, the confusion on his face was gone, and he looked a little free and easy.
The little girl was still sitting on the plastic stool, looking at her illustration book attentively.
"Uncle, Ruirui is thirsty."
The little Loli shouted to Zhou Ze.
Like a pet acting cute and coquettish to its owner.
Zhou Ze nodded, poured a glass of water into a paper cup, evenly cooled and hot, and brought it to the little Loli.
The little girl took the cup of water, took a sip, and a crescent moon appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Zhou Ze simply sat down on the tiles, reached out and rubbed the little Loli's head, openly and without any precautions.
Time passes slowly,
Little Loli continued to read the book.
Zhou Ze continued to lie beside him.
One big and one small,
They get along very well.
The little girl would bring the interesting stories she saw to Zhou Ze and share them with him, and Zhou Ze would respond by telling her some profound lessons from fables or other short stories.
I don’t know how long it was before the red car drove over again.
The girl's mother opened the door and thanked Zhou Ze. Her hair looked the same as when she first came. Zhou Ze smiled. He really wanted to suggest that the woman go to the barber shop to ask for an explanation instead of fooling people like this.
Of course, if you really say that, the woman might blame you for meddling in other people's business.
The little girl bowed and said thank you to Zhou Ze, then left with her mother.
From beginning to end, the little girl never looked back at herself.
Once gone, gone.
Zhou Ze walked to the counter and picked up the gift box that the woman had given him at the beginning. Only then did he discover that there was a stack of banknotes inside, three thousand yuan.
not bad,
Zhou Ze didn't think about going back.
He is short of money, so take it and use it first.
Zhou Ze felt that he had figured it out, just like a cultivator who suddenly had an idea;
But I also feel like I'm just giving up. No matter what happens, I'm still carefree.
But no matter what, at least I feel much more relaxed now.
Zhou Ze casually picked up a book with a large cover from the bookshelf. It was an appreciation of famous calligraphy, and it was a product that was definitely unsalable. No one knew if Xu Le's forehead had been crushed back and forth by a big iron door countless times, so that he could even buy such a book.
With a flick of the hand,
This page is exactly the four words "It's rare to be confused".
“Tsk tsk.”
Zhou Ze smacked his lips.
interesting.
Looking at the time, he found that it was almost evening. Thinking of his appointment with Dr. Lin to go to the movies in the evening, Zhou Ze planned to go for dinner first.
When he walked to the next room, Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment and saw Xu Qinglang kneeling on the ground.
Xu Qinglang's eyes were red, and there were many wine bottles around him. He was holding a bottle of wine in his hand and continued drinking.
"It's not fair... It's not fair..."
Xu Qinglang muttered to himself. Even though Zhou Ze walked into the store, he seemed not to notice at all.
"Hello?" Zhou Ze reached out and patted Xu Qinglang on the shoulder. "Are you okay?"
He really wanted to remind Xu Qinglang that for other men, getting drunk would just result in the possibility of having their money stolen, but if he, Xu Qinglang, got drunk and ran out, it would not be as simple as just losing money.
In fact, if he were to lie on the street with a girl late at night, Xu Qinglang might be violated more times than that girl.
Xu Qinglang trembled for a moment, and slowly raised his head, looking like a pear blossom in the rain, which made me feel pity for her. He pinched an orchid with his hand, pointed at Zhou Ze, and said sadly:
"Today is the anniversary of my parents' death."
Zhou Ze was silent for a while, then said, "My condolences."
After waiting for a while,
Xu Qinglang continued to drink.
Zhou Ze could only remind: "Not cooking tonight?"
"Do! Cook!"
Xu Qinglang stood up shakily. His willow-like waist was graceful and extremely alluring, especially his shaky posture. One could not wait for someone to go up and support him directly and smell his fragrance.
"Can you not force it?"
Zhou Ze said this, but still sat down on the chair and prepared to eat.
It was not easy for him to have a meal, so he didn't want to look for a second one.
Xu Qinglang waved his hand and walked into the inner room.
soon,
The sound of a stove starting to burn came from inside; Xu Qinglang was cooking.
Zhou Ze took out his cell phone and saw that Dr. Lin had just sent him a message saying that she would come to pick him up soon.
Zhou Ze replied with an "OK".
I think it's not grand enough.
And replied with a "hahahaha cannonball expression",
Then I felt it was too frivolous.
Withdraw this expression.
I thought about withdrawing it, but it would only make things worse.
And replied with a "Hehe".
Then I felt that the word "hehe" was not friendly enough.
But I felt that withdrawing it a second time seemed too contrived.
Confusing...
Zhou Ze was very conflicted at the dinner table.
The other chef who was cooking was also very conflicted.
There is twice-cooked pork in the pot. After frying, put it on the rice and it becomes a bowl of twice-cooked pork rice. It is very simple and goes well with rice.
"Why didn't she arrest you, but my parents?"
Xu Qinglang was talking to himself while cooking.
There is an old saying that goes, "What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth." This saying speaks to so many truths and reveals the darkest side of human nature.
"This is not fair. It's really not fair." Xu Qinglang continued to talk to himself.
"How can you be partial? How can you be partial?"
Xu Qinglang's eyes were dull, but the frequency of his cooking did not change. He was a good chef, and cooking had almost become an instinct for him.
Silently, Xu Qinglang took out a yellow can from the cabinet under the stove, poured some powder from it and put it into the twice-cooked pork.
"My parents were taken away, why didn't you leave? Could it be that you saved her life?"
"Haha, what a joke."
"You want to eat?"
"Okay, I'll give you food."
Xu Qinglang kept taking deep breaths.
"Are you ready?" Zhou Ze urged from outside.
“Soon.”
Xu Qinglang was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing with some panic and hesitation, but he still covered the pot. He found that his rice had not been put in the microwave yet, so he had to heat it up again.
After the rice was cooked, Xu Qinglang put the twice-cooked pork on top and then walked out with the plate.
Zhou Ze was looking at his phone screen in confusion. Seeing Xu Qinglang walking towards him in a daze, he put down his food and said worriedly:
"You won't forget to add salt, will you?"
Xu Qinglang shook his head.
Zhou Ze picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
Xu Qinglang's hand trembled and his lips opened slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Zhou Ze put down his chopsticks.
"How about sour plum juice or bitter melon juice?" Zhou Ze asked.
"Oh, okay."
Xu Qinglang walked back, took a glass of plum juice and walked back again.
Zhou Ze first picked up the sour plum juice, smelled it, took a deep breath, and was about to drink it when his phone vibrated.
"I'm here, come out."
Zhou Ze hesitated for a moment, but finally put down the sour plum juice.
He knew that after he made a living from this, his face would be sour for a long time, as if everyone around him owed him a large sum of money.
Think about it and forget it.
Considering my past and present lives, this is the first time I'm asking a girl out to see a movie, so I'd better be solemn.
There was no other way. The original difficulty of the dungeon for Dr. Lin was a beginner's mission.
Now that he has changed into Xu Le's skin, the newbie mission has instantly become a big boss-level mission.
I don’t know whether I should be secretly happy or feel miserable
What I have to work hard on now is,
Defeat yourself? Then you can win the beauty.
"Money, put it in the account, and settle it together at the end of the month. I'm leaving first."
Zhou Ze stood up, opened the door and went out.
Dr. Lin's car was parked on the side of the road with the windows rolled down, waiting for him.
In the noodle shop, Xu Qinglang's face was uncertain for a while, and then he suddenly scattered the plate of twice-cooked pork with rice on the ground.
He held his head and cried on the ground.
He cried louder and louder.
In the end,
It turned into a dry howl...
