"Is the battery dead?"
"It seems so, boss."
Yingying took the air conditioner remote control and knocked on it, but when she pressed the button again, there was still no response.
Deadpool has not recovered from his injury and is still being treated in the field, so the pure green central air conditioner in the bookstore is now out of service. But when the standing air conditioner on the first floor was turned on, it was found that the battery of the air conditioner remote control had run out of power, after all, it had not been used for too long.
"Boss, I'm going to buy some batteries."
"Forget it, I'll just sit for a while, Yingying, come closer."
"Okay, boss."
Zhou Ze was lying on the sofa, Yingying came over obediently and leaned slightly against Zhou Ze.
Um,
It's cool now.
I am convinced.
It is already late April. Tongcheng has four distinct seasons. "Distinct seasons" sometimes seems to be a compliment, but it also means that the summer is extremely hot and the winter is extremely cold.
Fortunately, there is more than one green air conditioner in the study. With Yingying around, I can get closer and feel naturally cool.
Zhou Ze picked up the coffee and took a sip. Yingying stayed with Dr. Lin for a day, and the two women went shopping together. Zhou Ze noticed that Yingying brought back a lot of stockings.
Recently, because of Lao Dao's incident, the atmosphere in the bookstore seems a bit depressing. Xu Qinglang treats every meal as his "last supper" and makes it very sumptuous. For lunch, he even made potato chips...
I feel like it's time to let Yingying wear white silk to cheer me up.
His face looked serious, calm and composed, but he was thinking these things in his mind. In fact, this should be considered a basic skill for men.
What a pity.
The tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
Fangfang came over carrying a large express box, pushed open the door of the bookstore, and shouted to Zhou Ze:
"Boss, Lu You's delivery!"
The old Taoist is not here.
The express was placed on the coffee table in front of Zhou Ze.
The box is big but not very heavy, otherwise Fangfang would not have brought it herself. In Fangfang's words, she is delicate and weak and can be blown down easily, so how can she carry heavy things
"Where is the Taoist priest?"
"Out, boss."
"oh."
The old Taoist has been traveling more frequently recently.
It feels like a final indulgence.
"Since the Taoist priest is not here, let's open his package first."
"Okay, boss."
Yingying stepped forward and without picking up any scissors or a knife, she directly cut the sealing tape with her fingernails. Then she grabbed the edge with both hands and pulled it outwards.
"Click..."
The express box was torn open.
Revealing what was inside.
No wonder it’s not heavy. This time it’s not the courier but clothes.
Yingying took out the clothes inside and spread them out to Zhou Ze, "Boss, the clothes I bought are so bright."
"This is a shroud."
"Oh, the old Taoist has really thought long-term. Has he really started to arrange his own funeral?"
Yingying could understand this behavior. She had always been prepared to be burned by her boss during the Cold Clothes Festival, and had even designed several styles of bamboo beds for herself.
When you can face and choose death calmly,
Naturally, you can calm down and add more ritual to your funeral.
"No, even if the old Taoist wants to order his own funeral clothes, he won't choose such bright colors. He might order a new set of Taoist robes instead of this..."
Zhou Ze turned the express box over.
After searching for a while,
The place of shipment is Jinling again.
The last time a package of two “little friends” was sent was from this place.
but,
This time he even left a phone number.
Zhou Ze took out his cell phone and dialed the number.
“Beep…beep…beep…”
Got through.
But no one answered.
Put down your phone.
Zhou Ze rubbed his chin with his hand.
What does it mean if that person really sent the shroud
Have you prepared the Taoist's funeral in advance
That shouldn't be the case.
According to Zhou Ze's previous speculation, the residual soul of an unknown lord of the previous generation appeared in the world of the living, plundering lifespans, most likely in order to extend the life of the old Taoist.
But now they sent me a funeral shroud.
Could it be that I was thinking wrongly
Maybe the degree of family affection among the Lord's lineage is not that high, or maybe the old Taoist has successfully made his ancestors give up on treating him
Zhou Ze picked up the shroud again, checked it, and confirmed that it was just an ordinary shroud with no other mystery.
At this moment, Zhou Ze seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said to Yingying:
"Find that mask."
"Okay, boss."
Yingying went upstairs and soon ran down with the silver mask.
"Boss, this mask is shaking."
Zhou Ze took the mask.
Without hesitation,
Put the mask on his face.
… …
The familiar big table, the familiar dim space,
Familiar chubby hands, familiar round face.
Boss Zhou is now familiar with this communicator, which originally belonged to the law enforcement team. The novelty of using it for the first time is gone.
“Plop!”
really,
The doll wearing a red bellyband with the word "meat" written on it flipped over, its movements very agile.
Then,
It stopped about ten meters away from Zhou Ze.
Next,
It grasped its head with both hands.
"Crack",
It took its head off.
Boss Zhou let out a sigh in his heart, no way
Next,
It is a half-hour long game of "kicking your head as a ball".
… …
Took off the mask,
Zhou Ze looked exhausted.
This was because he had learned from his previous experience and terminated the game early, otherwise this boring game might have continued.
Just like last time,
No matter what you shout, ask, or say,
The other side still just kicks the ball, kicks the ball, and kicks the ball again.
It seems that he is addicted to this game and cannot extricate himself.
Zhou Ze rubbed his eyebrows and yawned. When he turned his head, he found that Yingying, who was originally sitting against him, had actually fallen asleep on his shoulder.
Some minor changes,
In fact, it has been happening all the time.
Looking at the girl next to him, Zhou Ze really had a feeling of nurturing;
When other men pursue a goddess, they often say that they use their sincerity to watch her coldness thaw little by little;
This sentence is here,
But it became so down-to-earth.
Zhou Ze's fingertips gently slid across Yingying's lips.
Feeling the softness and delicacy on the lips,
In life,
There is always this kind of plain yet real beauty.
but,
The silver mask that Zhou Ze had just thrown on the coffee table began to tremble again.
Haven’t you had enough fun yet
exactly,
The little monkey trotted down the stairs.
The old Taoist sometimes takes it with him when he goes out.
Um,
But there are times when it is not appropriate to take it with you when you go out.
so,
The little monkey is staying in the study today.
When Zhou Ze and Yingying were not in the bedroom, it would go to Zhou Ze's room to play games on Yingying's high-end computer. Now it should have come down to find food.
"come over."
Zhou Ze waved to the little monkey.
The little monkey ran over obediently and jumped onto the coffee table.
"The latest VR game, put it on."
Zhou Ze pointed to the silver mask next to him.
The little monkey was stunned for a moment, but still picked up the mask and put it on his face.
Next,
The little monkey stopped moving and sat there.
All right,
Someone is playing football with you instead of me.
Boss Zhou continued to turn his head and observe the girl next to him.
Yingying is wearing a blue dress today, with her hair hanging down on her shoulders. It is not gaudy, but gives people a very comfortable feeling.
Zhou Ze thought of stockings again.
Boss Zhou never denied that he had some special fetish for stockings.
Of course.
Most normal men have this fetish, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.
The phone rang at this time. Zhou Ze frowned slightly. He hated being disturbed when he wanted to enjoy his life quietly. But he looked at the call notification:
“Political Correctness!”
Sighing helplessly,
Pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Boss, we've finished our work here and are already on the high-speed train. We'll probably be back in the evening."
There was excitement in Lao Zhang's words, and it was obvious that he was eager to return to work as soon as possible and serve the people.
"Okay, I'll ask Lao Xu to prepare some more dishes tonight."
I hung up the phone.
Zhou Ze pursed his lips.
Lao Zhang and his friends are coming back.
There is still no news about Lawyer An who went to Guandong.
But that's about it.
After all the manpower is ready,
A trip to the Northeast must indeed be put on the agenda.
There have been a lot of things going on recently, and they are so messy and chaotic that Boss Zhou feels that staying in the bookstore is too uneasy and it would be better to go out and get some fresh air.
That's right.
What was I thinking about just now
oh,
That's right.
Stockings.
Zhou Ze was about to pick Yingying up gently.
She fell asleep.
But how can lying on the sofa be comfortable
Let’s go back to bed.
Zhou Ze was very cautious.
Although he knew that he would most likely wake Yingying up,
But he also knew that even if Yingying was awakened, she would pretend to be unaware and continue to sleep.
There is still some tacit understanding between the two of them.
What a pity.
There seem to be more people disrupting things today.
The monkeys also came to cause trouble.
The little monkey, who had just put on the mask, suddenly jumped onto the floor tiles.
With both hands spread out,
He let out a roar:
“Squeak, squeak, squeak!!!!! Roar!!!!!”
The little monkey's body began to grow bigger and bigger.
Until it turned into a demon monkey!
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Yingying opened her eyes and woke up just in time.
Zhou Ze didn't say anything, but stood up, left the sofa, and walked in front of the demon monkey.
The aura of the demon monkey was very strong, but it was always restrained around its body and did not cause too much turmoil.
at this time,
The silver mask had cracks on it, but it was still worn on the monkey's face, only covering up the general idea. After all, the monkey's face was really big now.
The monkey's eyes were still tightly closed.
When Zhou Ze approached it,
Purple lines suddenly appeared on the monkey's body, interweaving and flashing continuously.
Boss Zhou slowly lowered his fist, which he had just raised.
He suddenly felt that something was unfair.
When you are talking to someone,
The other party is just passing the buck to me.
Change the monkey.
The other party started to teach his skills
