Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 918

Towards the end of Saturday afternoon, Zhou Yu finally got a temporary pardon from work.He sent a message to Luo Binhan, and Luo Binhan, who was still wandering outside, bought some fruits, vegetables and easy-to-preserve food and came to visit.He had a lot to talk about with Zhou Yu, from the owner of "Guns N' Roses" to Luo Jiayang's troubles, but when he actually walked into the living room and put down the bag he was carrying, what came out of his mouth was the character he just met at noon. .

"Do you remember Shi Qi?" he asked, "a girl who doesn't like to talk?"

Zhou Yu was sitting on the sofa studying the gloves he was wearing.This new pair of gloves is basically the same style as the one he originally wore, but the overall color is slightly lighter. They must have been replaced in the laboratory.As soon as he heard Luo Binhan ask him, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.Luo Binhan thought he didn't remember - it was normal not to remember. Zhou Yu was famous for being an invisible person with good grades in the class. He neither antagonized nor made friends with others - but the result was only ten seconds later. But he said: "Is it that Shi Qi from high school?"

"You remember her?"

"After all, we have been in the same class for three years, so I remember it is normal."

"Do you still remember every high school classmate?"

Zhou Yu thought again. "Not all," he said, "most of it."

"Do you like them that much?" Luo Binhan questioned, "You don't usually talk to others."

"This has nothing to do with liking it, right? Since we are in the same class, we will naturally remember it."

Luo Binhan looked at him with interest.Even though he and Zhou Yu have known each other for so long, they still can't fully understand a person.Ten years after graduation, Luo Binhan himself could no longer name a few names, especially those with less active personalities and who had lost touch with him in social relationships after graduation.And Zhou Yu, even though everyone thought he was nosy, he remembered these insignificant names.However, he also immediately thought that another factor leading to this result is that Zhou Yu's social relationship is very simple. He may not meet a few new friends for two or three years, but he always has a lot of relatives, colleagues, clients, It is very satisfying just to be able to remember the last names of the people who come to him for services and the people he requires services from, without calling them wrong the first time.

"What's your impression of her?" he continued, "Have you ever spoken to her?"

"We have been in the same class for so long, so we must have talked to each other."

"Then what did you say?"

Zhou Yu shook his head in confusion. It seemed that he did not remember the "blackboard newspaper incident" that Shi Qi mentioned.Luo Binhan asked him to share his impression of Shi Qi.He sat there and recalled for a while: "She is a girl with good art."

"She is also the art committee member of our class."

"...dressed very carefully."

"Have you noticed how she dresses? At that time we could only wear school uniforms."

"Zhou Yu mentioned it before. The styles of Shi Qi's hairbands and hairpins are often changed, and the shapes and colors are matched. She said that Shi Qi might be very good as a stylist in the future."

"Oh." Luo Binhan said suddenly.This perfectly explains Zhou Yu's unusual ambition.He also knew that Zhou Yu liked to observe others quietly, with an unfriendly nature and the sensitivity required by professional skills. Who knows how many wicked and mean comments were hidden under her cold appearance.She said that Shi Qi might become an excellent stylist, which was not an unpleasant statement on the surface, but who knew if she was implying that Shi Qi's painting skills were not worth mentioning.Maybe he thought of her a little too badly, but this woman had a lot of criminal records - and a sinister and evil alien bloodline.

"She's also good at painting." He couldn't help but defend Shi Qi voidly.Zhou Yu, who was originally looking at the gloves, suddenly raised his head and stared at him with a hint of doubt.He didn't ask questions, but Luo Binhan already knew that he couldn't hide it.

"I met Shi Qi today." He confessed, and then told everything about his encounter with Shi Qi last week and at noon.When he mentioned the "blackboard newspaper incident", he hesitated, worried that Zhou Yu's name would cause irritation, but Zhou Yu himself had mentioned it before, and his attitude was very calm, so he still told Zhou Yu about this ordinary past incident. Rain, so as to add a small puzzle piece to Zhou Yu's past life.

"Has Zhou Yu explained the reason to you?" He even asked with a bit of curiosity, "Why did she want to scare Shi Qi?"

Sitting in front of him at this moment was Zhou Yu's closest person in the world, but Luo Binhan didn't particularly expect to get the answer.What he didn't expect was that Zhou Yu didn't reply to him for a long time, but was obviously deep in thought, as if this was an extremely important problem.This reaction made Luo Binhan naturally wary. "What?" he asked in disbelief, "Is Shi Qi also an alien?"

"...No, probably not."

"Then what were you thinking about just now?"

Zhou Yu's mind still hasn't completely returned to reality.He stared into the air between them, as if looking through the window of some memory.After a while, he said with some confusion: "She wants to remind Shi Qi."

"Using a book called "Details of Medieval Torture"? What can this remind you?"

Zhou Yu shook his head.He explained the origin of this answer to Luo Binhan: After a certain parent-teacher meeting, Zhou Yu mentioned Shi Qi to him quite abruptly; she pointed out that Shi Qi's parents were absent for the first time, and that Shi Qi's condition was very bad after that. depressed.And when Zhou Yu asked her why she cared about this matter, she replied, "Maybe I shouldn't give that kind of reminder."After that, they turned to talk about other things. It might be Zhou Yu's own parents who were always absent, or it might be the nanny who came to Luo Binhan's house to make a fool of herself.In short, he didn't remember Zhou Yu explaining what "reminder" meant.

"Why are you still talking about me behind my back!"

Zhou Yu ignored his condemnation.He thought to himself for a while, and finally confirmed that Zhou Yu never said anything else.Therefore, the "reminder" she was talking about at that time was probably those two scary books.

"Even you can't figure out what she is thinking." Luo Binhan said helplessly, "I think this matter will never be understood."

"Is Shi Qi okay?" Zhou Yu asked, then got up and went to the kitchen.Luo Binhan instinctively followed to observe the situation. Fortunately, Zhou Yu just wanted to use a hot water kettle to boil water. "She just came back from overseas a year ago, and she doesn't look anything special. But I guess she has many hats." He paused, thinking about taking care of other people's privacy, but Zhou Yu was not an outsider after all, "She seems to Participating in a blind date."

Zhou Yu agreed flatly, still staring at the electric kettle intently.Luo Binhan wanted to describe Shi Qi's current situation a few more words, but suddenly found that he had nothing to say.In that noisy market or in a dimly lit tea room, various thoughts were always running through his mind.During the conversation, he looked around the other person's eyes out of politeness, but did not take the meaningful scene into his heart at all.When he wanted to tell how Shi Qi's appearance had changed since ten years ago, he was surprised to find that he couldn't tell at all.

He only remembered Shi Qi's unique hat, but not what his face looked like under the hat.But Shi Qi couldn't always wear a hat, at least he had to take it off indoors, right?What kind of hairstyle was she wearing at that time?Appears to be dark straight hair.length?At least it's not particularly short, so short that it reveals a special personality.All other details have been lost.Now when he recalled the scene in the teahouse, he could only think of the reflection of the dark golden light in the tea, and the smoke rising when the seal incense was burned. There was the smell of osmanthus and pine needles in the mist; Shi Qi's image was hidden in the light and incense. After the fog, although the two were actually the background of where she was sitting, she herself was completely suppressed, leaving only a silhouette as thin as the sunset.In such an environment, it is impossible to distinguish a person's appearance without staring hard, but if you stare at someone who is not close to you so seriously, it will inevitably appear quite rude.

"She is almost invisible." Luo Binhan couldn't help but murmured, "Much more invisible than you."

Zhou Yu picked up the hot water bottle without knowing why.He probably never thought of himself as invisible, just where he should be.And just as Luo Binhan expected, he boiled the pot of hot water to make instant coffee for them both.This is something that never goes wrong.

When the coffee was brought to the living room, they put Shi Qi's matter aside.Luo Binhan looked at his drink and immediately thought of the more important and confusing person.

"I also saw the owner of 'Guns N' Roses' this Tuesday." He said casually, "You should know 'Guns N' Roses', right? It's where Chen Wei lived."

Zhou Yu paused as he picked up the cup. "Have you been there?" he asked in a somewhat strange tone, "Why would you want to go there?"

"You just want to go suddenly?" Luo Binhan said, "People occasionally want to visit strange and weird places. But that's not important. What's important is that I met the owner of Guns N' Roses, and he was holding a bird in his hand. cage."

When he said this, he stopped, waiting to see Zhou Yu's reaction.The latter slowly put down the cup, as if forgetting that he hadn't had time to take a sip.After a few seconds, Zhou Yu said, "I asked him to take care of me."

"You already know him. He brought you coffee, didn't he?"

"……Um."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Luo Binhan asked dissatisfiedly, "Did you know that he might also be an alien? Or a particularly dangerous one?"

Zhou Yu shook his head decisively.His denial made Luo Binhan feel a little more comfortable.At least in this regard, Zhou Yu didn't know any more secrets from Chen Wei than he did.He asked with a little curiosity: "Is there any reason why you bought coffee from him?"

"...Because it was introduced by Chen Wei. And it's rare that he is willing to help me take care of the parrot."

"Does the coffee there taste special?"

"It's just an ordinary drink." "How does this person usually treat you?"

This simple question stumped Zhou Yu.Luo Binhan found that he was racking his brains. "Not very close," he said hesitantly, "just an ordinary acquaintance."

"Didn't he show his face to you?" Luo Binhan asked, "Any unpleasant words? Rolled his eyes at you? Not even once?"

"...Did he do this to you?"

"I think he wants to beat me up."

Zhou Yu shook his head again.This time Luo Binhan didn't know what he meant.But Zhou Yu quickly said: "That person is not very good at communicating with outsiders, so did he scare you?"

"I don't think that's the case. It's a bit evil to say it. I really think he hates me."

Zhou Yu still didn't take his keen judgment seriously.Therefore, Luo Binhan had to talk about the encounter that night in detail.He skipped over Anthony Kent and what he felt when the shopkeeper came into contact with him, so in reality he was extremely limited in what he could say.By the time he finished telling the story, Zhou Yu's attitude had changed from the original hesitation to being quite calm and relaxed, and he slowly drank his own coffee.

"So, he's just unhappy with your attitude."

"What's wrong with my attitude?" Luo Binhan asked, "What bad thing have I done?"

"It's not a bad thing, but it's a bit annoying when you pretend to be an enthusiastic person. The shop owner has a very sensitive personality, and he especially doesn't like others to pretend to be familiar with him or look down on him."

Luo Binhan stared at him dumbfounded. "Looks a bit annoying?" He couldn't help asking loudly.

"This sentence was said by Zhou Yu before, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Do you think you can get away with it?" Luo Binhan said reluctantly, "How many bad things have you said about me behind my back!"

"——Anyway, if you are worried, just give it another try. As long as you talk to the other person normally and don't treat him with the same attitude as you did at work, he probably won't chase you away."

Luo Binhan didn't know how Zhou Yu could have the confidence to make such a bold inference.He didn't think there was anything wrong with his attitude - who could see a god dressed like that and not find it funny! “What’s wrong with my attitude at work?” he complained. “How many second-generation ancestors clock in as punctually as I do!”

"Doesn't anyone think you're weird?"

"It's hard for me to say, anyway, they won't tell me face to face."

"What will happen if you don't go to work in the company? They won't really cut off your source of income, right?"

"So," Robin said, "I'm really asking for money - just like the guy I'm going to see tomorrow."

Zhou Yu's eyes looked over from behind the cup he raised.Luo Binhan was still waiting for his coffee to become less hot, but he had already drank the entire cup as if nothing had happened.Luo Binhan couldn't help but think of Yu Xiaorong's opinion that "eating hot food can easily cause esophageal cancer."

"Luo Jiayang?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Ah." Luo Binhan agreed perfunctorily.He did not continue, and Zhou Yu had no interest in his notorious cousin, although they had met several times at Luo Binhan's house.To Zhou Yu at that time, Luo Jiayang, who was wearing only boxer shorts and sitting there with his legs spread apart, was no different from a decorative vase with a somewhat special taste.This has nothing to do with Luo Jiayang's reputation or attitude. Zhou Yu rarely takes the initiative to ask about Luo Binhan's family matters.

But on Luo Jiayang's side, things became a bit strange. Luo Binhan felt that he didn't like Zhou Yu.It is natural for little hooligans to dislike good students, but Luo Jiayang never actively provokes Zhou Yu like he does when he hates other people.He didn't say anything when Zhou Yu was present, and only started to cynicize after Zhou Yu left.This was something Luo Binhan hadn't thought about. If he hadn't been so familiar with these two people, he would have even felt that Luo Jiayang was a little afraid of Zhou Yu.That didn't make sense at all. He was pretty sure that Zhou Yu hadn't even said three words to him.

As he pondered this mysterious phenomenon, Zhou Yu asked him, "Have you ever considered changing jobs?"

Luo Binhan looked at him in confusion. "I've been moving around a lot." He muttered, "I'm a total 'bum'."

"No matter what, you are working in the family business, right? Have you never considered doing other jobs like Luo Jiaotian?"

Now Luo Binhan understood.He was a little surprised that Zhou Yu would ask such a thing, but after thinking for a while, he had to admit: "Actually, I haven't thought about it much, at least not seriously."

"why?"

"I think it's too late to change course now." Luo Binhan asked frankly, "What can I do? I don't have the professional skills like you or Luo Jiaotian. I can't start from scratch on a construction site, right?"

"It's not that serious, right? If you want, can't you find a management job somewhere else?"

Luo Binhan thought for a while, and then had to explain the problem to Zhou Yu.In fact, his academic qualifications are not that bad, and his work resume is not bad, but the management of small companies often do not recruit according to these information on paper, and the negative reputation of large companies will put him in trouble.Others will inevitably ask him why he chose the distant place instead of the near.There are still many overly detailed but objective problems here. For example, just because you have studied management does not mean you can directly become a manager.In matters involving power and business, professional skills sometimes play a less important role.What if he started at the bottom of the business?He dare not say that he can do better or endure hardship better than any of his lower-level employees.

Now he is indeed enjoying the glory of his life experience.He also honestly admitted that in addition to the ability to make a living, living standards were another issue he had considered.He never experienced the real hardships of poverty.To endure that kind of tired and boring life, that kind of trivial torture that is everywhere all the time, you need another kind of quality.It is not the kind of bloody courage that is willing to risk one's life, but the tenacity and courage that endures long and hopeless days.He has not tried it, but he knows how many people are broken by this. Many people would rather commit a capital crime than live in poverty for a lifetime.What evidence does he have that he will do better?Moreover, if he lives a poor life far away from his old worries, it also means that it will be difficult for him to meet the things he valued in the past.He may not be able to afford to buy a plane ticket to go abroad anytime and anywhere and take a whole month's vacation to visit Yu Xiaorong; he may not dare to return to Lihai City in order not to borrow money from Zhou Yu.These hypotheticals are a nightmare just to think about.

These serious words admitting his own incompetence are difficult to express to outsiders, but it is not difficult to confess to Zhou Yu.He didn't have to hide any selfish thoughts, and Zhou Yu would just listen quietly, occasionally nodding thoughtfully.

"But," Zhou Yu continued, "you didn't have these worries when you were at Jing Huang's place, right?"

"That's different."

"Isn't it considered that you have gone to a very far place?"

"That's a fatal place!" Luo Binhan said, "And he doesn't care about my life or death at all!"

"So it's not a boring life, right? If you were asked to live that kind of life in the future, you wouldn't think you'd rather stay here."

Luo Binhan glanced at him suspiciously, feeling that there seemed to be a special meaning in this sentence.He didn't see anything wrong with Zhou Yu's relaxed and natural posture.

"Yeah, that way I'm sure I won't get bored," he said with more or less feigned exasperation, "because my life will be over soon."

"So which one do you prefer? Short-term excitement or long-term boredom?"

"Long-lasting excitement." Luo Binhan said.Zhou Yu just smiled and put the cup back on the table.They agreed to go out for dinner with Yu Xiaorong at noon on Sunday, and then Luo Binhan said goodbye and went home.Before leaving, he suddenly remembered the most important question.

"By the way," he turned around at the entrance, "that shopkeeper, what's his name? You've called him by his name before."

Zhou Yu got up and went to the cabinet under the TV and took out a brown card and gave it to him. "Cai Ji," he said to Luo Binhan, "call him that the next time you go there. Be friendly and don't give him weird nicknames. He won't do anything to you."

"I'm not someone who likes to give others nicknames." Luo Binhan said, stuffing the flashy brown and black business card into his pocket.
