Chapter 55: Zhu Yan? Zhu is tired?
The two hands are shaken together, but there is no plot in the novel where they shake hands and test each other's skills.
"You're not human, are you?"
Looking directly into Zhu Yan's eyes, Lu Mingfei asked bluntly.
"Well, you're not human, are you?"
Zhu Yan asked rhetorically after admitting.
"No, I think I am."
Lu Mingfei shook his head.
Zhu Yan nodded slightly, looking noncommittal.
He let go of his hand, took a step back, looked at Lu Mingfei and asked, "So...... Are you here to deal with me, a 'stowaway'? β
"Hmm."
With Lu Mingfei's "um", the atmosphere that could only be regarded as a little awkward and silent suddenly became sharp and heavy.
Lu Mingfei's pupils glowed with brilliant gold, dragon blood surged in his body, and the mountains and seas were ready to go, and the mountains and seas inside the mountains and seas would unfold at any time.
Six hideous-shaped blades appeared around Zhu Yan's body, with a texture similar to crystal-like blood-red blades.
"I love fighting, but I don't want to fight you here now, how about we solve it at a different time and place?"
Zhu Yan opened his mouth, breaking the frozen atmosphere.
Five of the six weapons beside him were hidden, as if to show kindness.
"Why?"
Lu Mingfei's golden pupils also dimmed, but the vigilance in his heart did not decrease at all.
"First of all, I don't want to fight here, there are a lot of innocent people here, and if the two of us make a move, many people will die in this battle."
Zhu Yan's words stunned Lu Mingfei.
In Lu Mingfei's subconscious, the mountain and sea beasts are the mission objectives specified by the chat group, which will cause space-time turbulence and cause unknown serious consequences, although no one knows what the consequences are now and what serious the law is.
Alien beasts, causing space-time turbulence, the consequences are serious, it is necessary to unfold the mountain and sea map, and kill and seal it in the mountain and sea world.
No matter how you think about it, these strange beasts should be like the big bosses in the game, with green faces and fangs, hideous and ferocious, as long as they exist, they will bring disaster to the world, and they need to be eliminated like dragons.
In fact, even after fighting Bai Ze, Lu Mingfei's subconscious was just treating the mountain and sea beasts as a dragon clan, and he was even ready to kill the mountain and sea beasts when he met.
For example, now, he pays a considerable part of his attention to the mountain and sea map, just to be able to pull Zhu Yan into his world as soon as he does it.
But now, this big boss who should have a blue face and fangs has a face that is enough to kill 99% of draft stars in seconds, saving a girl who was almost brutally murdered by gangsters.
And looking at the uniform he wears, he seems to be a delivery boy with a serious job!
What the hell is this God unfolding!
Mountains and seas and strange beasts part-time job record?
Part-time job, Lord of the Mountain and Sea Beast?
"Secondly, I still have work to do, and our customers are still waiting for me."
Zhu Yan didn't know that Lu Mingfei was complaining about him frantically in his heart, he paused, and continued: "I saw a record about me in your world, although it is generally more consistent, but there are still some mistakes and omissions. β
"Oh?"
"Your account says that if I show up, I will start a war, but in fact I can predict where it will happen, and then I will rush over."
"Because you like to fight?"
Lu Mingfei remembered Zhu Yan's sentence "I like to fight" in the conversation just now, and asked.
"Yes, there are many strong people on the battlefield, and there is often no psychological burden to fight them, they are on the battlefield, putting life and death out of the way, and they are excellent opponents."
Zhu Yan nodded in acknowledgement.
"There will be war here?"
Lu Mingfei was a little curious, could it be that there would suddenly be a big war in his hometown? Unlikely......
"No, I just happened to be living here temporarily and got a job."
ββ¦β¦β
So what the hell is looking for a job? Aren't you supposed to rule the world like those dragons who are full of power and power?!
"I'm just simple but I like to fight, but outside of fighting, I prefer a peaceful life," Zhu Yan looked at Lu Mingfei, "I haven't moved for a while, and I really want to fight with you, but unfortunately it's not the time." β
"What if I have to do it?"
Saying this, his vigilance did not relax, but Lu Mingfei had already given up his plan to make the first move, this Zhu Yan seemed to be completely different from the Zhu Yan he imagined.
"A lot of innocent people will die if you do it here," Zhu Yan frowned, "Can't you change places?" β
"You actually care about the life and death of human beings?!"
Lu Mingfei exclaimed.
"I'm a beast born of killing and death, so I understand the meaning of life better than anyone else," Zhu Yan shook his head, "I don't mind separating life and death from my opponent in battle, but I don't like to hurt ordinary creatures who don't like to fight or can't fight." β
"Shhh...... Brother Zhu, it's very difficult for you to do this, I can't tell who is decent and who is the villain between the two of us. β
Lu Mingfei's golden pupils turned back to black, and he seemed to have given up his plan to do it now.
"This doesn't matter," the two remaining blades beside Zhu Yan also disappeared, "You have killing intent on you, you are here to kill me, and I like to fight, and I don't mind killing opponents in battle, so it is enough for the two of us to pick a time to fight for life and death." β
ββ¦β¦ When? β
"I'm a little impatient, if you're not in a hurry, let me finish delivering these things, then go back to the store and say goodbye to my boss, and we'll be able to get started."
Zhu Yan was very conflicted, on the one hand he seemed to like the battle, or rather look forward to it, but now he put the battle of life and death behind such trivial things as delivery and resignation.
"I'll go with you."
Lu Mingfei wanted to see what kind of medicine was being sold in his gourd.
ββ¦β¦ Yes. β
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Yan readily agreed.
β¦β¦
An hour later, in front of the building of an old neighborhood.
"I said, what the hell are you always giving away?"
Lu Mingfei's face was full of pain, he followed Zhu Yan to deliver a product, originally thought it was takeaway or something, but after delivering the first order for an hour, this thing is definitely not a takeaway, if this is a takeaway, Zhu Yan's efficiency has already made people quit eight hundred times!
"Whoa! This one! β
Zhu Yan took out a bouquet of orange-yellow Fulang flowers from the box fixed in the back seat of the car and shook it towards Lu Mingfei.
"It's ...... Furou flowers? β
"Yes, it's also called the sunflower," Zhu Yan carefully sorted out the details of the bouquet, "The flowering period is from November to April of the following year, how about it?" Pretty good, right? β
"Hmm."
Lu Mingfei nodded, from his point of view, the bouquet of flowers bloomed brilliantly, the petals were delicate, and they exuded a faint fragrance, which showed that the person who planted the flowers took good care of it.
"You're a florist employee?"
Lu Mingfei asked.
"As for the shop, strictly speaking, it should be a coffee shop or a bubble tea shop," Zhu Yan shook his head, "However, we work part-time to deliver flowers to customers." β
Lu Mingfei nodded, indicating that he knew.
"How? Up together? β
Zhu Yan took out something that seemed to be a birthday card from his pocket, and then smiled at Lu Mingfei.
"Okay."
β¦β¦
"Knock knock ......"
Zhu Yan held the flower in one arm, and gently knocked on the somewhat rusty security door with the other hand.
Lu Mingfei stood aside, looking at the corridor of this cheap community.
Black stains, messy swag and a strange smell are proof that this is not a good place to live.
"Who......"
An old woman's voice came from inside the door.
"Squeakββ!"
Amid the sharp grinding of the doorshaft, an old man with wrinkled faces and gray hair opened the door.
"Hello grandma, I'm a flower gift, someone ordered a bouquet of flowers for your grandson as a birthday gift," Zhu Yan smiled at the old man, different from the professional smirk of the service staff, Zhu Yan's smile was very infectious and affinity.
"Oh, by the way," Zhu Yan added, "I don't need money, I've already paid for it." Come, flowers to you. β
Zhu Yan handed the bouquet of Fulang flowers to the old man, and the old man hurriedly raised his hand to pick it up.
"Thank you...... Thank you......" took the flower, the old man seemed very happy, and said thank you to Zhu Yan several times in a row, and then turned his head to the room and shouted: "Lei Lei!" Come out! Someone's got a birthday present for you! β
A second or two later, the sound of the door being opened with the handle twisted in the room, followed by a little boy's cheer: "Grandma, I'm coming!" β
"Click......
A little boy who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old, with thick eyes and a thin figure ran to the door with an excited face, and immediately cheered when he saw Zhu Yan, and then pounced on him: "Brother Zhu Yan! β
"Heyββ!" Zhu Yan bent down and stretched out his arms, hugged the boy, and said with a smile: "Okay, Xiaolei, it's a lot heavier than last time, it seems that you have grown taller!" β
Putting the boy called "Xiao Lei" on the ground, Zhu Yan pointed at Lu Mingfei and said to Xiao Lei: "This big brother is called Lu Mingfei." β
"Brother Lu Mingfei is good!"
The little boy immediately greeted him obediently.
"Hello!" Lu Mingfei half-squatted down and said hello to the little boy, "Xiao Lei, right?" It's supposed to be your birthday, right? Happy birthday to you! β
"Thank you, big brother!" Xiao Lei responded with a cheerful face, "My full name is Zhou Yunlei!" β
Zhou Yunlei ...... That's a good name. β
"This ...... Xiao Lei, do you know this gentleman? β
The old man who was called grandma by Xiao Lei on the side didn't seem to have reacted to the situation, and asked his grandson.
"Hmmm! Grandma, Brother Zhu Yan is the employee I told you about the store I often take after school! β
"This ...... Oh......" The old man's face showed a sudden look, and she hurriedly thanked Zhu Yan, "Sir, thank you!" Thank you for letting my grandson stay in your shop every day......"
"It's okay, Xiao Lei is such a cute child, staying is just enough to attract guests for us," Zhu Yan waved his hand, "Besides, we opened a coffee house originally, and we let guests go in and sit, what is there to thank for this......"
"What about this flower......
"Our boss sent it!" Zhu Yan replied, "This is a private gift from her, Xiao Lei has also been in our store for several months, and it is normal for him to give him a bouquet of flowers on his birthday." β
"This can't work, this can't work, this kid has been bothering you for months, how can you still let you break the bank for his birthday......" The old man immediately took out his wallet from his body, "How much does this cost......"
"I don't have much money, grandma, don't give it, our store originally sold flowers, all at cost price, not much money."
Zhu Yan immediately stopped her.
After a "fight", Zhu Yan persuaded the old man who insisted on giving money.
"Lei Lei! Say thank you! β
The old man called Lei Lei, who was chatting with Lu Mingfei, over.
"Thank you, Brother Zhu Yan, and if there is trouble, Brother Zhu Yan wants to say thank you to Sister Yueyan for me!"
"Hmmm! Good! Zhu Yan nodded, "How are your recent results?" β
"Ninety-nine in Chinese, one hundred in mathematics, sixty points in English, and only one point short of sixty in science!"
Lei Lei puffed up his chest and looked proud.
"Awesome!" Zhu Yan's big hand landed on Lei Lei's head and rubbed his hair, "Do you know what the significance of this bouquet of flowers that Sister Yueyan gave you?" β
"Hmm...... I don't know ......."
Lei Lei shook his head.
"This bouquet of flowers is called Fulang flowers, and like sunflowers, they bloom towards the sun, so they are also called sunflowers."
"Oh! I get it! I will work hard towards the sun every day like sunflowers and Furou flowers! β
"That's right! Xiao Lei is awesome! β
β¦β¦
"Sir, thank you for taking care of our children, I'm sorry for your trouble......"
Lei Lei stayed outside the house for a while and then went back to study, the old man wanted to invite Zhu Yan and Lu Mingfei in to sit for a while, but Zhu Yan politely refused on the grounds that he still had flowers to give.
"It's okay," Zhu Yan waved his hand, "But grandma, there's something I want to tell you." β
"What's the matter?"
"You just opened the door so casually, you opened the door without waiting for me to reply, and now there are a lot of bad people, there are only two of you grandchildren in the family, in case something happens......"
"Don't worry, I'm not old enough to be clear, I saw in the cat's eyes that you don't look like a bad person, so I opened the door for you."
"This bad guy doesn't write the word bad guy on his face", Zhu Yan pointed to the scar on his forehead, "And you really think I don't look like a bad guy?" β
"Young man, you have a very good face, you look like a good person, you can't be wrong......"
β¦β¦
At the door of the residential building in the community, Zhu Yan threw the full black garbage bag into the trash can.
"Tsk...... It's a bit magical...... I'm a little confused......"
Lu Mingfei complained.
"To put it simply, the child's name just now is Zhou Yunlei, the family conditions are not very good, his parents are divorced, he was sentenced to his mother, but the woman has no education, so she can only do hard labor in order to raise the child, so let her mother, that is, Xiao Lei's grandmother, take care of the child."
"And what does he have to do with your store?"
"We run a bubble tea shop, just near the school, this child's mother is busy with work, working overtime all day, and grandma has inconvenient legs, so we let him stay in the store after school until his mother comes to pick her up."
After a pause, Zhu Yan added: "This kid basically studies as long as he wants, and it can be said that he is quite diligent." β
"What about the flowers?"
"My boss gave it privately, Xiao Lei's family conditions are not good, and he doesn't have many friends, but for his birthday, he always has to have a gift, right?"
"What did you put in that bouquet of flowers was a birthday card?"
"Well, I wrote it with my boss."
"Your boss is such a nice guy......"
Lu Mingfei gave a heartfelt compliment.
"Huh...... It's just a stupid girl with a lot of money, but it's really stupid and cute. There are still a few bouquets of flowers in the box, all of which she wants to give to others, do you still want to follow me to send them? β
Zhu Yan patted the box on the back seat of the car and asked Lu Mingfei.
"Of course, I'm not in a hurry." Lu Mingfei walked up to Zhu Yan's side, "But then again, is it really good for you to complain so directly and blatantly that your boss is a stupid girl?" Aren't you afraid that she will fire you? β
"Fired me? Hmph, just kidding," Zhu Yan's head raised slightly, "A good employee like me who is sunny, handsome, dedicated, polite, and friendly, can she be willing to do it?" β
