Chapter 13 The Lost Woman

When the elevator door was about to close, Lu Ran stretched out his small white hand to block the door. The person standing inside the elevator was indeed Ji Zebei. The man was tall and straight, wearing a slim-fit black coat, wrapped in a light gray scarf, with his hands in his pockets , looking at her coldly.

She blocked the elevator door with her arm, and asked him with a smile, "Mr. Ji, where are you going so early?"

Ji Zebei: "The seafood market."

"What a coincidence, I'm going to the seafood market too, can you give me a ride?"

"Yes." The man agreed very happily. He strode out of the elevator, pulled away her arm blocking the elevator door, and said, "Go and get dressed."

The elevator door slowly closed and went down.

Lu Ran lowered his eyes to look at himself, he was too anxious when he came out, he was still wearing pajamas under the padded clothes.

"Then you wait for me, don't go first." She said to Ji Zebei uneasily.

Ji Zebei nodded and stood still in the elevator.

She ran home like a rabbit, changed her clothes, washed as fast as she could in her life, put on a fluffy hat, put on a padded jacket and went out again.

Ji Zebei was still waiting for her in the elevator, as if he was getting impatient, his brows were slightly frowned, seeing her coming, he immediately stretched out his hand and pressed the elevator.

She stood beside him, tilting her head to look at him.

The man's eyes are cold, his nose is straight, and his side profile is really pretty.

"Mr. Ji, do you go to the seafood market every day at this time?"

The man said 'hmm', and stepped into the elevator as soon as it arrived.

Lu Ran followed him, reached out to touch his pocket, and blocked the elevator door that was about to close, and smiled at him embarrassedly: "I didn't bring a wallet, Mr. Ji, please wait for me a little longer, just take it down."

Ji Zebei: ...

What a lost woman!

Seeing Lu Ran rushing out of the elevator quickly, he reached out to block the elevator door, and soon she ran back with her wallet.

He held his aching forehead, with a patient face: "Did you forget anything?"

She thought about it and shook her head.

The elevator goes down to the negative floor.

She got into Ji Zebei's car, and the car drove out of the underground parking lot smoothly, all the way out of the urban area.

Lu Ran was a little confused, this is not the way to go to the seafood market.

"Mr. Ji, did you go the wrong way?"

The man stared ahead, focused on driving, and replied indifferently: "That's right."

"We're out of town."

"Ah."

"..."

Lu Ran was silent.

No matter where he drives the car, he can't sell her.

Half an hour later, the car entered a small town near the sea. Most of the people in the town are fishermen who salvage seafood for a living. A large part of the seafood market in Shangjing City is supplied by these fishermen.

In order to get the freshest seafood, Ji Zebei personally drives here every day and buys directly from the fishermen. The price is naturally much cheaper than the seafood market in Shangjing City.

The car stopped at the pier where many fishing boats were docked. Ji Zebei got out of the car and walked straight towards a middle-aged man with beards. The man was wearing plastic gloves and a plastic apron. When he saw Ji Zebei, he smiled. Say hello to him.

"Xiao Ji, here we come."

Ji Zebei slightly curled his lips, "Old Yang, are you saving the live sea cucumbers and shrimps I want?"

"Keep it, keep it. If you confess, I will definitely keep it for you."

Lu Ran sat in the car, staring at Ji Zebei without blinking.

This man is really strange, he ran so far just for live sea cucumbers and sea shrimps... Mingming Ji Fanzhai's business is embarrassingly bleak.

After Ji Zebei moved the foam box for storing seafood to the trunk, he didn't rush to get into the car, but went straight to the passenger side and knocked on the window.

Lu Ran lowered the car window.

"what are you looking for?"

She scratched her head. Actually, she didn't plan to buy seafood, and she didn't know how to do it. She just wanted to know what he did when he went out at five o'clock every day.

"Not buying?"

She nodded.

Ji Zebei turned around to talk to Lao Yang, Lu Ran closed the car window, waited in the car for a while, Ji Zebei finally returned to the car, he drove back the same way, and sent her to the police station in Shangjing City. seafood market.

Lu Ran: ...

"Aren't you going to the seafood market?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Can you wait for me?"

It seems that I still have to buy some seafood to go back, otherwise this lie will not be able to continue.

"No."

"Just wait 5 minutes."

"I can't wait a minute."

Because of Lu Ran's forgetfulness, he went out 10 minutes later than usual, and bought seafood from Lao Yang, and returned half an hour later than usual.

If he continues to wait for Lu Ran, of course he can wait for 5 minutes, but the trouble is that he has to send Lu Ran back to the apartment.

The delay of this back and forth is a bit too long.

"Take a taxi back by yourself." After finishing speaking, he unbuckled her seat belt and opened the door.

It's really not good to stay in the car at a time like this.

Lu Ran walked down, and just as he was about to say something, the car door was slammed shut by Ji Zebei, the man turned the car around and drove away.

Lu Ran stood among the coming and going crowd, messed up for a long time, did not go into the market to buy seafood, but walked towards the flower, bird, fish and insect market not far away.

She has never had a cold for seafood, she doesn't like to eat it, and she doesn't know how to cook it.

As soon as you enter the flower, bird, fish and insect market, there is a burst of chirping and crisp birdsong.

It was almost seven o'clock, and there were quite a few people passing by in the market, most of them were old men and women, and young people like her couldn't find a single one.

When the whole market was about to come to an end, Lu Ran caught a glimpse of a little black cat locked in a cage. The cat looked only two or three months old, curled up into a ball, curled up in a corner of the cage, frozen I was shivering.

In such a cold day, the cage is placed outside the store, which is really unkind.

She carried the cage into the store, which sold all kinds of ornamental fish.

A middle-aged woman with a wide body and a fat body wrapped in a large red cotton jacket was sweeping the floor with a broom.

"Boss, does this cat belong to your family?" She asked politely.

The woman looked up at her, and responded calmly, "Yes."

"Is this cat for sale?"

"Sell, our own cat gave birth to a few kittens, and sold all the others, only this one is left."

"how much is it?"

"Fifty."

"..."

Oh so cheap!
Most modern people don't like black cats, thinking that black cats are unlucky. In fact, this is a misunderstanding of black cats. Since ancient times, black cats have been auspicious and good luck to ward off evil spirits.

She didn't think much about it, bought the cat, and didn't want the dirty broken cage. Instead, she put the little black cat in her arms, paid the money, and took the kitten to the veterinarian for an examination first.

The little black cat has no major problems, but is weak and has a cold.

She took some medicine for the kitten, bought a box of goat milk powder, and took it home for recuperation first, thinking that when the black cat's cold recovered, she would give it to Ji Zebei.

Ji Zichen said that when Ji Zebei was a child, he raised a big black cat. After the cat was sent away, he was sad for a long time. She thought that he would definitely like this little black cat.
