Chapter 36: Suffering
Su Shuang next to him behaved elegantly, ordered a bottle of red wine, and after waking up, he ate and drank with Zhou Ye, talking about the affairs of the bureau and some interesting things that happened in the city.
Xu Shen and Cao Fei were obviously not interested in red wine, so after taking half a sip, they had a constipated expression on their faces, and they buried their heads in scanning the plate again.
When he was full of food and drink, Xu Shen was taken aback, and he actually ate more than 2,000 of them in this meal!
The equivalent of 500 Lukka per person!
Just one meal!
"That's how I saved my savings for the previous two months......"
Xu Shen felt a pain in his flesh, but the residue of the dish rolled into his mouth by his tongue felt really fragrant, and he couldn't get enough of it!
Zhou Ye paid casually, 2000 is also a lot of money for high-paid personnel like them, but as the captain of the second echelon, he can still afford to enjoy it occasionally.
After eating, several people put on the coats they had taken off during the meal and took the elevator downstairs.
"Hmph, why are these stinky rats here, it's so unlucky!"
There were other customers in the elevator, one of them was a lady dressed as a with carmine lips, and when she caught a glimpse of the black combat uniform under Xu Shen's coat, she immediately frowned, and slightly covered the tip of her nose with her hand, revealing a disgusted expression.
She didn't shy away from it, and the whispers of disgust reached the ears of several people.
Several people were commenting on the deliciousness of the food here, and when they heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and they looked at the noble lady.
The lady's gaze was natural, not restrained at all, and she did not have the cold gaze cast by Zhou Ye.
Beside the noble lady, a butler in a blue suit stepped forward slightly, looking at the four of them indifferently: "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhou Ye noticed that the butler was wearing a gear-shaped medal on his chest, his face changed slightly, and he withdrew his gaze.
Xu Shen and Cao Fei saw that the captain was not angry, and realized that the person in front of them could not afford to provoke, so they also held back their anger and did not speak.
Soon, the elevator opened, and several mermaids rushed out, and the lady waved the air, as if to fan away some unpleasant smell, and muttered to leave accompanied by the butler.
Several people looked at their backs, and Su Shuang's eyes showed a look of extreme disgust: "I don't know which high-level mistress is in it, it's just a raised dog, and I dare to be so ashamed!" ”
Cao Fei said in a low voice: "Captain, who was that person just now?" ”
Zhou Ye stared at it, then retracted his gaze and said, "It's someone from the Steam Association, that girl may not be the high-level inside, but it must have something to do with the high-level inside." ”
"The Steam Society?" Cao Fei was taken aback.
This is a big force rooted in the inner city, and it is also one of the core forces of Termite City, almost all the parts and machinery in the city are purchased from the Steam Association, or in other words, you have to apply for purchase qualifications from it!
You can imagine what kind of wealth and connections such an organization has!
Xu Shen had also heard of the Steam Association, and many of them would be assigned to work in the units of the Steam Association after their training and when they became adults.
Do the most primitive parts handling, parts grinding and so on.
The delicate technical work that requires the use of the eyes is done by ordinary people who have opened their eyes.
And those ordinary people who open their eyes are also "leaders" and "big shots" in the eyes of the fog people!
"Isn't the Steam Association in the inner city, I heard that people from the inner city don't come to our bottom city easily." Cao Fei asked suspiciously.
Su Shuang snorted coldly: "We also have a branch of the Steam Association in the bottom city, it must be a relative of the high-level of a certain branch, looking at her cheesy perfume smell, she is definitely not a person from the inner city." ”
Cao Fei and Xu Shen couldn't help but sniff, although the lady had left, there was still a strong smell of perfume in the air, which smelled good, as for why Su Shuang said cheesy...... They don't understand either.
Su Shuang couldn't help but glance at the two of them when she saw them.
"Let's go." Zhou Ye shook his head slightly and led everyone out of the hall.
At the door, the waiter had already received the message at the end of their meal, parked the car in the waiting area in front of the hotel, and immediately drove the car over as several people arrived.
It was still early, so Zhou Ye personally drove and took a few people to his house.
Xu Shen saw that the outside was still bright and lively, as if he saw a new world, and found for the first time that it turned out that it could be so lively outside late at night.
Is this the world you can see......
In this bustle, there is no fog people, they are all normal people who open their eyes and carnival.
"Hmph, let's conscientiously kill the ruin beasts and protect the safety of the bottom city, but that stinky bitch said that it was a mouse, damnable!" In the car, Cao Fei was still angry about the anger in the elevator before.
Originally, Meimei enjoyed a meal tonight and was happy, but when she left, she was ruined by someone.
"When they encounter the ruins, they will know that we are life-saving benefactors." Su Shuang snorted coldly.
Zhou Ye smiled slightly, stopped in front of a traffic light, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, and ran towards the cigarette case back, which was caught by Cao Fei.
"There's nothing to be angry about, there are so many people like this, don't care."
He comforted a few people, but smiled in his heart, even if he saved them in front of the ruins, he couldn't change these people's opinions.
Prejudice and arrogance are hopeless.
He was deeply touched by this, and Su Shuang and Xu Shen were not deeply involved in the world, and they were too immature.
……
Not long after, everyone came to Zhou Ye's house.
On a relatively secluded street in the city, the commercial street is two kilometers away, and it is full of single-family houses and small estates, and the environment is pleasant.
In contrast to the bustle of the Mona Hotel, which sits in the heart of the shopping street, it is quieter, with only the occasional sound of cars passing by.
Zhou Ye checked the mailbox at the door, and saw that there was no mail of his own in it, so he led everyone into the courtyard of the villa and took out the key to open the door.
Inside the villa, the lights are transparent, and every room in the three-storey villa is lit up.
Cao Fei was surprised: "Captain, your family is prosperous!" ”
Su Shuang glanced at him and said, "The captain's daughter is afraid of the dark, that's why it's like this." ”
Xu Shen was a little speechless, afraid of the dark, so he turned on the lights? It's too extravagant!
Although foggy people can't use electric lights, Xu Shen also understands that electricity is very expensive, and I heard that it costs several yuan a night!
With the sound of Suosuo's key at the door on the first floor, there was a sudden sound of running in the villa.
Zhou Ye opened the door, and Xu Shen and the others saw a six or seven-year-old girl running from the stairs, barefoot, and it seemed that she couldn't even wear shoes.
"Daddy, Daddy is back......"
The little girl screamed as she ran, her face full of surprise.
Zhou Ye piled up a wrinkled smile, his eyes were almost out of sight, he entered the door and changed into cotton slippers, and hugged the little girl into his arms: "Let Dad kiss him." ”
Behind the stairs, an old woman in her forties and fifties chased after her, shouting again and again: "Slow down, slow down, don't fall!" ”
When he saw Xu Shen and the others behind Zhou Ye, he was slightly stunned: "Master, are you a guest?" ”
"Well, some colleagues." Zhou Ye smiled and walked to the living room with his daughter in his arms: "Rongrong, do you miss your father?" ”
Cao Fei was about to follow in, but was pulled by Su Shuang.
At this time, the old woman hurriedly trotted over, took out three pairs of disposable slippers from the cabinet next to her and handed them to Xu Shen and the others.
Cao Fei reacted at this time, a little embarrassed, and changed into clean slippers.
Xu Shen saw everything he did, but he had a different feeling in his heart, whether it was eating in the hotel tonight, the street scenes along the way, or coming to Captain Zhou's house as a guest, it made him feel that it was far from his previous life.
Is this the high life he used to aspire to?
Several people changed into slippers and entered the door, and Zhou Ye said with a smile: "Sit casually, Rongrong, call uncle and sister quickly." ”
Cao Fei complained: "Why is she a sister and I am not a brother?" ”
Su Shuang rolled her eyes: "Just your old face, it's good if you don't call your grandfather, you think you are Xu Shen!" ”
"I don't dare to be a ...... when I call grandpa," Cao Fei shrunk his neck.
Zhou Ye laughed angrily and scolded with a smile: "Get out!" ”
Su Shuang also knew that she had said something wrong, she was a little speechless, she ignored him, stepped forward and touched the little girl's head: "Is Rongrong obedient at home today?" My sister bought you candy. ”
As he spoke, he pulled out a box of candy from his small leather bag.
Xu Shen and Cao Fei looked at each other, both a little embarrassed, Su Shuang got out of the car halfway before and said that something was wrong, they thought that the other party had eaten too much wine and wanted to go to the side of the road to relieve themselves, Cao Fei also complained a few words, but he didn't expect to buy sugar...
Instead, the two of them came empty-handed.
"Do you remember Sister Su, I brought you candy last time." Zhou Ye smiled.
"Sister Su......" The little girl seemed to be a little puzzled, obviously not remembering, but her eyes were staring directly at the candy in Su Shuang's hand.
Su Shuang smiled, didn't embarrass the little girl, and handed her the candy.
"Sister Su has been here?" Xu Shen said curiously.
Su Shuang nodded, "The place where I live is not far from here, and I occasionally come to play and accompany Rongrong." ”
"Bragging, I don't think she has any impression of you at all." Cao Fei snorted lightly, debunking Su Shuang's words.
Su Shuang's face changed slightly, and she frowned: "Did you eat too much tonight, and if you can't speak, say a few words!" ”
Cao Fei was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that he would make a joke casually, Su Shuang actually changed his face, and it seemed to be serious, he was about to find the captain to comment, but he saw that the smile on Zhou Ye's face was also a little stiff, although it was still maintained, but he was already smiling a little reluctantly.
His heart jumped, as a ruin-slayer, he still had the alertness in his heart, and realized that he seemed to have neglected something.
Seeing Zhou Ye's expression, Su Shuang couldn't help but secretly shake her head, glanced at Cao Fei, and whispered, "Captain, I'll take Rongrong upstairs to play for a while." ”
"Okay."
Zhou Ye nodded and handed the child to Su Shuang.
The little girl was holding the candy, but she reached out and grabbed Zhou Ye: "Dad, I want Dad." ”
"Dad will come later, will my sister tell you Dad's story?" Su Shuang said gently.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to listen to Daddy's story." The little girl nodded repeatedly.
When Su Shuang and the little girl went upstairs, Cao Fei saw that Su Shuang was so familiar with this house, and said with some doubts: "Captain, did I say the wrong thing......
Zhou Ye shook his head slightly, took out a cigarette and lit it, and leaned back on the sofa: "Rong Rong was still young before, and she was accidentally involved in the ruin beast incident and was stimulated a little, so her memory is not very good." ”
