In 2025.

Late at night.

A small apartment in Gangh.

"Wake up naturally when you dream, count the money and count until your hands cramp ......"

Zhou Ye looked at the web novel on the computer screen, and extinguished the cigarette butt on the hill of cigarette butts in the ashtray.

"Coo...... "Coo-coo," Zhou Ye's stomach screamed.

"The family is so poor that they can't open the pot, you're still making trouble!" Zhou Ye sighed as he touched his stomach.

But I still walked to the so-called open kitchen and rummaged through it.

This is a very small apartment, only ten square meters, the door is the toilet, the toilet is opposite the open kitchen, there is only a bed in the house, but there is a small bay window, which is used as a computer desk by Zhou Ye, of course, in the downtown area, it is good to have such a single apartment, after all, it is bigger than the coffin, and the coffin is only three square meters!

It's a pity that Zhou Ye is rented, 10,000 oceans per month, although inflation is severe in 2025, but 10,000 yuan is still a lot of money, but living in a cheap suburb, the rent is less, if you want to order a takeout at night, it is not convenient to wash your feet, Zhou Ye gritted his teeth and lived here in order to enjoy it once in a while.

"There is also a pack of instant noodles, or kimchi ramen, Lady Luck is on it, amen!" Zhou Ye was overjoyed, and quickly shook the thermos pot, and the sound of water in the thermos pot came from the "dong dong ......" thermos pot.

"There is actually water, could it be that I scanned the code yesterday and gave a penny to the beggar!" Zhou Ye said excitedly, and quickly opened the instant noodle bag.

Zhou Ye opened the thermos pot again, but he frowned for a while, and cursed: "A penny really ruins character, the water is cold!" and then threw the thermos pot heavily on the kitchen cabinet.

Zhou Ye kneaded the instant noodle bag for a while, "Quack...... Quack ......", crumpling the instant noodles into pieces.

"It feels good!" Zhou Ye muttered, took out the seasoning bag, threw it on the ground casually, lifted the instant noodle bag, raised his head, and poured the crushed instant noodles into his mouth.

Zhou Ye chewed on the dry and hard dough cake, and finally took a sip of cold water, picked up the thermos pot that had just been thrown on the kitchen counter, and drank cold water.

"This ramen is so thick, it's going to fucking pierce your throat!" Zhou Ye scolded, but sat back on the edge of the bed and played with the computer.

"Didi...... The host has a beautiful woman to text the message!" A brand new old-fashioned mobile phone on the bed came with a text message sound.

Zhou Ye's hand sliding the mouse wheel stopped, and some pale faces actually showed a hint of excitement, took the mobile phone and looked at the information, the information on the mobile phone screen is a string of formulas, which looks a bit like the formula of Einstein's theory of relativity, and a bit like Newton's calculus.

After reading the message, Zhou Ye picked up his mobile phone and got up and walked towards the toilet, Zhou Ye closed the door, and after a while, the sound of a flush toilet falling came over.

Zhou Ye opened the wardrobe, picked up a black jacket and put it on, the style was ordinary, just like a jacket, he picked up a worn-out backpack, and opened the door and went out.

Out of this apartment complex in the city center, turn left and walk 300 meters to the subway station.

It's already twelve o'clock, countless people are pouring out of the subway station, with the progress of the times, people are now working overtime later and later, and the subway line is already unmanned and operates 24 hours a day in order to fit the changes of the times.

Zhou Ye came to the old-fashioned vending machine in the subway station and bought a metro card with a coin.

Looking at the strange eyes of the people around him, Zhou Ye frowned slightly, and then looked at the people who were swiping their bracelets and mobile phones in and out of the subway station, and said to himself: "It seems that I am really an antique! But I am only eighteen years old!"

The young man on the side heard Zhou Ye's self-talk, and threw a disdainful look at Zhou Ye, although Zhou Ye was a little old, but definitely not eighty.

Zhou Ye swiped his card into the station, got off the elevator, and found a temporary rest stool and sat down.

The subway is coming, and a lot of people have come down, and this subway is finally not blocked.

Zhou Ye entered the carriage, looked at the somewhat empty carriage, walked a few carriages before sitting down next to a young man who seemed to be sleeping, and sighed softly: "It's not easy to live in this era!"

The young man was wearing light down, leaning on the railing of the subway seat, his legs were very close, and a backpack was placed in front of his legs, which was exactly the same as Zhou Ye's backpack, Zhou Ye also learned from the young man to put the backpack in front of his legs, but the seat next to Zhou Ye was empty.

One station after another, there were fewer and fewer people on the subway, and finally to the penultimate station, only Zhou Ye and the sleeping young man were left in the whole carriage, the subway door opened, Zhou Ye raised his elbow, and hit the young man, but the young man was still asleep, the subway door closed sounded, Zhou Ye hurriedly picked up his backpack and rushed out of the subway door.

Zhou Yechang sighed, put on his backpack again, walked on the escalator of the subway, and walked out of the subway station.

"It's developing so fast, two years ago, the subway just opened, and there wasn't even a barbecue stand here. Zhou Ye sighed as he looked at the brightly lit restaurants and shops on both sides of the subway entrance.

"Goo...... Zhou Ye's stomach screamed again, and he pulled the zipper of his jacket up again, "This ghost weather, it's so cold before winter, it seems that I will have to live in Hainan in the future!"

Seeing a Korean restaurant in front of him, Zhou Ye entered the store.

"Self-ordering, automatic serving, self-payment!Find your own empty seats!" said the owner sitting at the bar without raising his head.

Zhou Ye looked at the prosperous business, sighed slightly, and found the last empty table in the innermost aisle.

Nowadays, in this world, people work later and later, and they always have to find something to eat after work, otherwise they can't work overtime, and eating more at night is of course a lot of disadvantages, and it is easy to overwork and gain weight, but Zhou Ye is lucky, born to stand at the bottom of the food chain, what to eat is not fat, what to eat is not absorbed, and the stomach is hungry fast.

Zhou Ye looked at the screen on the desktop, slid quickly, page after page, thought for a long time, and finally clicked on confirmation.

"Your basic ramen is served, the soup is multi-noodle and the side dishes are multi-dish, no price increase!" The voice of the serving robot came and put the ramen in front of Zhou Ye.

"Can you not say the last three words? Zhou Ye muttered quietly, looking at the barbecue meat and the Korean side dishes on the table next to him, and the snickering people frowned, picked up the noodles fiercely, and brought them to his mouth.

The two sounds of "sizzle ......" overwhelmed the snickering, and the two "sizzle ......" filled the entire shop.

Poverty not only gave Zhou Ye a tall and thin figure, but also gave him an invincible face.

The beautiful woman at the next table pushed her boyfriend's arm and whispered, "This ramen should be delicious, why don't we order a bowl of it." The man quickly drew it on the table as if he had received the decree.

"Can I share a table here?" a crisp female voice came.

Zhou Ye raised his head slightly, and all he saw was legs, two slender and straight long legs, wearing white stockings.

Looking up again, it was a short skirt, and it was still a slap away from the knee.

Look up again......

"Uncle, I'll sit here. ”

A goose egg face, a girl face with big eyes and a high nose reflected in Zhou Ye's brain.

"It's so beautiful!" This brain information kept turning in Zhou Ye's brain circuit.

Zhou Ye retracted his gaze and said, "Yes, I'm alone." ”

"Thank you!" the girl smiled sweetly and scratched it on the table.

"Sizzle" was two more sounds, but this time it was much lighter......
