Chapter 3 New Contacts
"Why are you so persistent? ”
It was night again, Yu Zhe couldn't remember that he hadn't slept for several nights, he was tired, but he didn't feel sleepy, he was lying on the sofa, his mind replaying the experience of the whole day infinitely.
Yu Zhe thought of his liaison, as far as he personally didn't like Lu Ren's high-minded and righteous appearance, but if he thought about it carefully, he didn't actually have any feelings for Lu Ren other than work, so that when Lu Ren's corpse appeared in front of him, he couldn't feel sadness or joy, and he could even think about other things calmly.
And then there is that Ms. Tao, I don't know why Yu Zhe has a bad impression of her, but now he can only rely on Ms. Tao to find a new contact person for him in order to continue to do this "job", so even if he doesn't like it, he can only endure it.
"But why should I be so attached to this 'improper' work?"
Yu Zhe asked him the same question again, but he still couldn't answer it, every time he thought about such a question, the memories of the past would tear at his numb nerves like a flood of beasts, so he simply stopped thinking about the reason, and just carried it out.
Yu Zhe covered his eyes with his hands, trying to relax himself, but all kinds of information collided back and forth in his mind, and he began to think about meeting with a new contact the next day, whether that contact person was male or female, what would his personality be? Will he accept himself? Will there be a less cumbersome set of contact methods.......
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep, Yu Zhe tossed and turned on the sofa, trying to drive all these things out of his mind, but he drove out one thing and came in another, and the things in his mind just couldn't be emptied.
"Good morning!"
Just when Yu Zhe was bothered by all kinds of things, a voice suddenly echoed in his head, at first it was only a few vague tones, but the sound gradually became clear.
"Twilight.......?"
The voice became more and more real, and even made Yu Zhe suspect that Twilight was really standing by his side, and gradually, every word after meeting Twilight began to repeat in Yu Zhe's mind, and this voice unexpectedly made Yu Zhe feel unusually calm.
"It's just a one-sided relationship...... Is it because I haven't been in contact with anyone else for too long......"
Thinking about it, Yu Zhe couldn't think of why there was a twilight voice in his head, this girl he had only seen once or twice would leave such a heavy impression on her.
An unprecedented thought hit Yu Zhe, he wanted to talk to the girl, wanted to listen to her voice all the time, Yu Zhe tried to imagine a conversation with Shi Dusk in his mind, but the other party in his mind would always only answer the few words he had heard.
Gradually, Yu Zhe fell asleep.
There was nothing to do all night, and when Yu Zhe opened his eyes the next day, it was already noon, he stood up and stretched his waist widely, and the joints in his body clicked because of the stretch.
Yu Zhe rarely felt light all over his body, and he hadn't had a good night's sleep like this for a long time.
It was still early to make an appointment with Ms. Tao, Yu Zhe decided to go shopping on the street, he was very concerned about what happened to the café that was rented by Shi Dusk and them, or after last night, he really wanted to see Shi Dusk again.
In front of the small café, Yu Zhe saw the busy figure of Shi Duluo from a distance, at this moment she tied her hair into balls, wore a loose sweatshirt and jeans, and bent over to laboriously move the large cardboard box full of things outside the café into the store.
Yu Zhe rushed to Shi Duluo in three steps and two steps, and took the big box in her hand.
"Let me do it. ”
"Huh?" Shi Duluo was obviously taken aback, and the moment he looked up, he saw that it was Yu Zhe, a neighbor who did not want to be named, and his expression was a little surprised, but he quickly returned to that sweet smile, "It's you, Mr. Neighbor." ”
"Hmm......" Yu Zhe simply agreed, picked up the box and walked to the store, but the box was unexpectedly heavy and heavy, so much so that he couldn't imagine how Twilight could have moved such a box.
With Yu Zhe's help, the progress of moving boxes was much faster, and the two divided labor, and more than a dozen large boxes were neatly stacked in the store within a few minutes.
Really, thank you so much. Twilight was a little exhausted, panting heavily, her face was ruddy, and her speech was a little intermittent.
"Don't thank me. Yu Zhe didn't feel anything, his physical strength was very strong, and just a few boxes still wouldn't make him feel tired.
"Helped me so much, I was going to treat you to a cup of coffee, but...... I haven't prepared the cups and jugs yet...... It can only be next time. Shi Duluo's tone seemed a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he could only take out a bottle of mineral water that had not been opened from the backpack that had been thrown on the ground early in the morning and handed it to Yu Zhe, "I can only give you a bottle of water today, and the coffee is owed first, and when I clean it up, I will definitely be the first to cook it for you to drink~"
Yu Zhe didn't take it, and Shi Duluo's hand hanging in the air was slightly embarrassed, so he had to take back the bottle of water, unscrew it and take a sip of it.
"Won't Morin come to your aid?"
"He's still working. Faced with a question like Yu Zhe, Shi Duluo was quite surprised.
He ...... What do you do?"
"Well...... It seems to be a work related to human resources, I don't know the specifics, he seems to have told me about the specifics, but I was not interested, so I didn't listen carefully. Twilight scratched her hair and rolled her eyes to recall, "Hey, he's always so busy with work, today he said he was going to meet something important, and he answered the phone and hurried out, and he didn't even have time to eat breakfast." ”
The room suddenly fell silent, and Yu Zhe was not so good at chatting that she didn't know what to say to reply to Twilight, to express sympathy, or to complain with him, or to comfort her by saying that she wanted to understand her father or something?
"It's so difficult!" Yu Zhe slandered, obviously he was looking forward to the conversation with Shi Duluo, but when it really came to this situation, he couldn't say anything.
"And what do you do, can you tell me?" Seeing Yu Zhe's troubles, Twilight took the initiative to ask the question, dragging her chin with one hand, her eyes shining with a glimmer.
"Unemployed. ”
When a word blurted out, Yu Zhe even wanted to slap himself, what kind of answer was this? Did he not communicate with others for so long that his language ability deteriorated?
"Haha, then you haven't found the right one yet? Don't worry, you will find it slowly. Shi Duluo's laughter was not ridicule, there was a hint of tolerance and understanding in it, and that voice always made Yu Zhe feel comfortable.
"I was suddenly unemployed. Yu Zhe almost gave up the idea of instinctively resisting himself, but he still entered his last struggle and explained again, "I want to find a new job, but I haven't found it yet." ”
"That's ......" Twilight showed an embarrassed expression for the first time, she paced back and forth, as if she was thinking, but after only ten seconds, she smiled again, "Is this good, these days when you haven't found a job, come to work with me, and I will pay you by the hour, how about it?"
"This shop had very few customers before, and you hired me to add to the useless expenses. ”
Yu Zhe decided to be reincarnated as a mute in the next life.
With a snort, Shi Duluo blocked his mouth and laughed: "Hahahaha, the store is still being renovated, mainly some manual work, if you don't have time to help me, just refuse~ It's okay." ”
"I ..... That's not what I mean......" Yu Zhe stammered a little, his thoughts were confused, and he didn't know what he was talking about, "I want to say...... If you have something, you can call me directly..... It's okay to ...... without paying."
Yu Zhe no longer knows what to scold himself, on the one hand, he is so angry at his "lack of language ability" that he can't even communicate with others normally, and on the other hand, he regrets the promise he made to think poorly in the confusion of his thoughts, even if he is now "unemployed", he should not show up to do these irrelevant things.
Yu Zhe began to question his behavior, maybe he was carried away, he wanted to chat with this Shi Duluo who had never met a few times at all, maybe from the moment he had this thought, all this was wrong.
"I ......" Yu Zhe was anxious to end the topic, so that this matter, which had been wrong from the beginning, ended quickly, but he didn't know how to let her end, and he stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence.
"Do you have anything else?" Twilight seemed to have a mind-reading technique, and he could always see Yu Zhe's thoughts, and ended the topic in a timely manner.
"Hmm......" Yu Zhe didn't say anything else, just nodded.
"Then I won't send it, it's a pleasure to chat with you, you are welcome to come again~"
Shi Duluo smiled and waved at Yu Zhe, and Yu Zhe also waved in response, and walked out of the café door with his head down.
Yu Zhe walked aimlessly down the street, looking at the time, thinking that he had been chatting with Twilight for a long time, but in fact, only ten minutes had passed, and he began to wonder, what fascinated Twilight about it, just because of her sunny voice and smile?
After a long time, at 4:30, Yu Zhe arrived at the 3rd Street of the 2nd District, he still maintained his habits, he must observe in advance to feel at ease, half an hour was fleeting, and at 5 o'clock on time, he walked into the antique store at No. 58.
Ms. Tao was still sitting behind the counter, her expression serious, as if she was waiting for Yu Zhe.
"Come in. Ms. Tao pushed the counter open and led Yu Zhe into the small door behind her, the space inside was unexpectedly large, a secret passage ten meters long and more than two meters wide, and another door was connected at the end.
Ms. Tao did not rush to bring Yu Zhe in, but stopped in front of the door and motioned for Yu Zhe to take off his coat.
"Routine check, I need to make sure you don't leak today's words. Ms. Tao's expression was serious, and she was like two people yesterday.
Yu Zhe didn't say anything, took off his coat, let Ms. Tao check, and after making sure that there was no listening device, Ms. Tao pushed open the door and made a "please" gesture to signal Yu Zhe to go in.
There was already a man sitting at the round table in the room, facing Yu Zhe with his side face, probably the new contact person Ms. Tao said, I didn't think there was anything abnormal, but as soon as Yu Zhe wanted to step in, he suddenly found that something was not quite right.
The man at the round table turned his head to look at Yu Zhe, the corners of his mouth on the right side were slightly hooked, and he snorted coldly, his eyes were as sharp as knives.
Yu Zhe was speechless in shock, was pushed by Ms. Tao, and entered the door, Ms. Tao walked in behind him, turned around and closed the door, and sat opposite the man.
Yu Zhe still couldn't believe the scene in front of him, but he couldn't stand all the time, so he could only sit on the chair between the two, and he couldn't help but stare at the man, that man turned out to be Shi Dusk's father - Mo Lin!
