Chapter 20 Fanwai [Teppan Barbecue]

In winter, it's bad, very bad, it's freezing cold.

The girl wrapped her coat tightly and couldn't help BB, the shitty weather forecast said it would rain if it was sunny, and it would snow if it rained, but luckily the southern cities, especially the coastal areas, don't snow much, but the rain is still there Next, she just moved to Shanghai after graduating, and she has just found a rental apartment. She occupies the smallest room among the four cubicles. no umbrella.

The rain patted my face, it was cold!Whoosh!

The OP of "Demihuman" was playing in the girl's earphones, and the rhythm was whizzing. She trotted towards the bus stop, and a familiar bus in the distance slowly drove over. She swiped her card skillfully to find a seat in the back row, and after sitting down Opened Weibo, after a row of small videos posted by food bloggers and beauty bloggers who followed, she saw a cup of poisonous chicken soup every day.

"Why do you feel hot and cold? It's just because you take public transportation. The temperature difference between the four seasons of rich people is not big~"

I bother.

After the girl finished poohing, she felt that what she said was so fucking reasonable.

When she was still in Kassel, the compulsory course for her freshman year was speaking spirit. Her spirit of speech was Frost Seal. The teacher told her that some pure-blooded dragons or second-generation species actually have this spirit of speech, which means they are not afraid of the cold winter.The king of ocean and water is the holy winter. She soars in the starry sky and sinks into the secluded seabed. She overlooks all sleeping things at the junction of spring and autumn.

To put it bluntly, I am not afraid of the cold.However, her pedigree is only B-, so she doesn't have any hope at all, and she wears thicker than anyone else in winter.

She hurriedly took out her powder and a small mirror to touch up her makeup. Today was the last company she was going to interview for. Under her black down jacket was a dark red striped suit jacket, and underneath was the OL standard wide-leg pants.In fact, she has no hope for this company at all, because the standards are extremely high, and it is said that the scope of investment is extremely wide, even if she went to be an intern, she might not be qualified.And according to the old fritters in the past, if you submit your resume to a company, and the other side will automatically reply to the email within a few seconds to notify you to go for an interview, half of the possibility is that the company is an idiot, and the other half may be that you are an idiot.

And this company is an automatic reply, solemnly displaying Media Asia's LOGO, and seriously saying that the company intends to hire you.

She secretly said to herself, don't go anywhere, you are a top student, a top student who graduated from Kassel College.

But now it's not about slaying the dragon... Even the dragon slaying himself can't do it!

The girl seemed to be dizzy from the poisonous chicken soup early in the morning. The bus was blocked on the elevated road because of the rain. The girl turned on the screen and glanced at the time.Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, it's already 08:30, and the interview starts on time at ten o'clock.

In the end, the bus lived up to expectations and arrived at the gate of the company at 45:[-]—the bus stop that is probably a little far from the gate of the company.The girl thought it was over, and walked in in the rain because she might not have time to touch up her makeup, and her first impression would be gone.Fortunately, the girl who got off at this stop was not the only one, there were probably three or four who came for the same interview. A girl with short hair opened an umbrella, looked at her and said, "Let's go together?"

The girl gathered the bag on her side and got under the umbrella.

"Thank you."

There are some people who always say that Beishangguang can't hold the body, and the three or four lines can't hold the soul.But there is also a new kind of thinking young people who really don't come here for the body and soul. These people are usually divided into three types, one is a painter, the other is a writer, and the other is an artist.

The girl actually belongs to the second category. She likes to write novels very much, and is followed and liked by many readers on the Internet.

In fact, the girl’s family background is not bad, and she never took any detours from childhood to adulthood. She lived a working-class life with no big dreams and no small burdens in a small city in the south.The grades are also good, and the length is also good.

But who is good at inspiration?

She thought about coming to Shanghai, and if she was really uncomfortable, she would go back to that small city. Life is not a problem anyway, since she is still young.But in fact, the bustling and noisy instantly swallowed up the only bit of tranquility she had left, and she was overwhelmed by the days when she was new and clearly graded.

The short-haired girl holding an umbrella said, "Are you here for the interview too?"

"Yes."

"What department?"

"Oh, I voted for accountants."

"Oh, I'm an architectural drafter."

The two said goodbye in the lobby, and the girl swiped her card at the receptionist and entered the elevator to take her up to the fifteenth floor.

She wasn't the first to come, but she wasn't the last to come anyway. The reception lady at the door said, "You can go in if you are ready."

Damn, is this a routine? !Entering now is a dead end, and not entering is also a dead end, entering or not entering.

Well, if you don't enter, you can't be the first or the last.

Time passed by, and when it was time, they started calling names. The few who went in were all happy when they came out. The girl was stunned, thinking that it was really so easy?

"Hey, sister, let me ask you, have you been hired?"

The woman in a black dress who was called out just came out, "I don't know, but still."

"What did you ask?"

"It's just general professional knowledge, and future development intentions."

"It's that simple?"

Damn, it's just a hundred sentences of interview answers compiled on Weibo and official accounts. It's enough to follow along. No wonder everyone is so happy, and they all memorized.

Everyone around me was called by name to enter, and in the end only the girl was left.

The receptionist stopped calling, and the last interviewer came out soon after entering. The receptionist was a young woman with a single ponytail. I don’t know why the girl thought she looked familiar. It always felt like the shot on Freedom Day. Destroyed his sniper.

"Hello, Miss Ye Shu, please go to the interview."

Ye Shu walked in nervously.

The office was very large. There was a huge desk in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows facing thousands of cars and horses. The color was almost transparent, and it seemed to be made of some wonderful material that exuded a cold breath.The four interviewers were collecting the materials in their hands, putting them in the portfolio, and then got up and left.

Leave Ye Shu alone.

Damn, what the hell is this? Didn't you see that I'm still a human being!

The people left, the door was slowly closed by the receptionist, and a figure came out from the side living room, wearing a light gray suit, holding two thin sheets of paper, and a standing table Name tag holder.Ye Shu vaguely saw her one-inch color photo printed on the two pieces of paper.That should be your resume.

Fuck, god, she looks so good-looking.

Ye Shu was stunned, her eyes moved slowly along the man who was slowly approaching, maybe her interviewer, the love brain of a writer of crispy duck literature and romance novels finally started to turn at an inopportune time, she instantly felt that she is now It's worth it even if you lose the job if you pounce on it and lick it.

It's how he looks so familiar! ?

The man cleared the three seats next to him, swept aside the standing nameplates of the four interviewers, and put his own in the middle. Ye Shu vaguely saw that it seemed to be her immediate boss, the chief financial officer.

This is the first time I saw someone put the back instead of the front. What is your last name and what does Lao Tzu call you?

Fortunately, the interviewer spoke first.

"Hello."

Ye Shu was stunned for two seconds, she felt a strange feeling, like the dragon blood in her body that had been at peace for a long time suddenly found support, making her want to surrender and get closer, she even wanted to kneel down, but this feeling Only for a moment, fleeting, followed by an incomparable peace of mind and peace.

"Hello."

"introduce yourself."

"My name is Ye Shu, I graduated from the United Branch of the University of Chicago in the United States, and I am studying business administration—"

"Is it really the University of Chicago?"

Ye Shu thought that if you knew that Lao Tzu was the one who slayed the dragon, you would be scared to death, "Yes, the campus of the United Branch is not the same as the main campus of the University of Chicago."

"It's really Ye Shu?" She saw a lot of emotions in the man's eyes, but she couldn't recognize them with the backlight.

"Yes, my name is Ye Shu."

The man pushed her resume and profile aside.

"Do you believe in aliens?" the man asked, he tore apart the brown hair that was coiled behind his head, and the color was exactly the same as Ye Shu's.

Ye Shu was stunned, isn't this Kassel's interview speech? !

"Do you believe in superpowers?" The man combed his curly hair with his fingers, and picked up a bunch of it with a rubber band.

"The last question, do you think the basis of human existence is idealism, spirit and soul, or materialism, matter and body?" He didn't put his hair up, but tied it in a messy ball, and his whole face was much softer. up.

"Can't answer? Then let me ask again, are you really a graduate of the University of Chicago?"

Ye Shu felt that she was crazy, the world was abnormal, and her interviewer was also a mixed race?

"No, I graduated from Kassel College, the class of 2021. The spirit of speech is Frostmark, and my bloodline is B-."

The interviewer smiled, like a big boy, he turned the standing nameplate over, cut his hair and said: "I remembered, the textbook should have taken a picture like me, and my hair would grow longer at that time a little."

Lu Mingfei.

It was really Lu Mingfei.

Ye Shu was on the verge of fainting, and reality slapped her face, telling her that you must be strong, you are a grass in the wind, you must not be knocked down by the waves!

"Lu... Lu... Ming, it's not... me, is it me, is it me?"

"It's me." Lu Mingfei lit up his faint golden pupils, which are good-looking and non-threatening. "I've seen...a man very much like you."

He wanted to say I've seen you, but he hasn't.He turned the heart of the ocean on the little finger of his left hand, looked at the girl's small dark red suit jacket, and the long black down jacket on the hanger at the door, thinking that the aesthetics were really the same.

"Oh oh oh..." Ye Shu was incoherent, she was a little excited and didn't know what to say.

"You have been hired." Lu Mingfei picked up the two information sheets, walked over to support the girl's shoulders and said, "Let's go, let's treat you to lunch."

When the girl was excited, she remembered that she was executed on the spot, because she had serialized the short story of Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei on the night watchman forum, and this head was actually the legendary Caesar and Finger who wrote the story of the second class. I brought it up, and then more and more versions of short stories sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and gradually began to appear in female and fantasy versions.

I finally saw the real person, Ye Shu wanted to look up to the sky and sigh.

Then he also met Chu Zihang.Chu Zihang was also slightly surprised when he saw her, and met Lu Mingfei's eyes, and Lu Mingfei blinked.Ye Shu thinks that the short story she wrote is really not without reason, this is simply sweeter than the short story and professionalism.

Lu Mingfei was driving, Chu Zihang was sitting in the co-pilot, and the entire back row was caringly reserved for Ye Shu. The rear seat of the Panamera executive extended version is very spacious, and the heater is fully turned on. Ye Shu finally realized the poisonous chicken soup of "it's not cold today" and "the temperature difference is not big".

"Senior Brother Chu, can I ask you a question?" Ye Shu belonged to the kind of self-acquaintance. She was always in elementary school, middle school, and high school.

"Tell me." Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei lived for a long time, and they didn't look so far away from others at a glance.

"Did you really save the world with Guixu back then?"

Lu Mingfei patted the steering wheel and said, "Did you see it, another flower of the motherland that has been poisoned by the textbook version!"

Chu Zihang smiled and said, "No, he was the one who saved the world, so I'll just be responsible for saving him."

Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll tell you some unofficial history, do you believe I'm a dragon?"

"Damn, exciting!" Ye Shu felt that she knew something important. "Believe, believe, have to believe." Today is really an extraordinary day, but she still feels that Lu Mingfei is joking with her.

"It's easy for dragons to save the world, because the grievances and sins of the three realms were originally borne by the dragon clan at the root of the world tree. This is how the Black King was born. The world always has positive and negative. As long as the negative is still there, there is a need for such an existence that bears everything. Just do your job, it's easy." Lu Mingfei said lightly.

The three of them ate iron plate barbecue at noon, Lu Mingfei treated the guests, and Chu Zihang paid the bill, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Today is Friday, and Media Asia’s benefits are really good. Zooming in on the weekend, they are closed for both days, so the new employee training only starts on Monday. She has a bunch of keys and an address saying that this is their original employee apartment, which is now vacant and is very close to the company, so she can move there.

Before Lu Mingfei left, he said something that made Ye Shu inexplicable.

"Have you ever seen snow?" "Are you afraid of the cold?" "Are your novels and comics still being updated?" "Do you remember this ring?"

Ye Shu listened to him and didn't answer.

"You really look exactly like her."

There are 99 people in your life that you will fall in love with, but maybe you will never meet any of them.You will be very happy when you are with one of them, and the remaining [-] people may be extremely honored just to meet you.

So how lucky is that one person, so that you can give up the sight, expectation, and dedication of 99 people.

How sad you are, trying to find another line of sight that has disappeared from among those 99 people, but you don't know where to look.

Finally he said. "Open the windows tonight at twelve o'clock."

Ye Shu called a moving company to move her few luggage to that apartment. The apartment has three floors. It was originally a super-luxury staff dormitory for three people, but now she lives alone.The building is very tall, around the 21st floor, from here she can see the intersection and pedestrians in the wind and rain.

She arranged her own small room, thinking that perhaps colleagues who would come to have fun in the future could invite them to move in.Lying on the bed, she turned on her iPad and watched a very old anime called "Future City NO.6", and she was almost at the end.

She cooked instant noodles, thought about it and added a sausage, and watched until midnight.

The wind beat against the window glass, and the heavy rain outside seemed to stop suddenly. The second hand of the watch she had worn since high school and hadn't broken down suddenly stopped and moved back one frame.She suddenly remembered what Lu Mingfei said, it was twelve o'clock.She didn't wear any slippers, didn't turn on the lights, and ran to the window with the light of the iPad screen. She opened the window, and the cold wind blew in. In the dark room, only the hem of her pajamas fluttered.

Everything outside was still, and the raindrops condensed in the air. She saw a mountain-like dragon wing blocking all the confusing neon lights, and the black and golden scales shone with vivid light. The golden pupils looked straight at her, vertically Hitomi blinked harmlessly, and the giant dragon stopped in mid-air, stepping on the wind, and lowered its head.

She was standing by the window with her iPad in her arms, her hair was blown messy.The anime was still playing, and when it reached ED, "Night of the Sixth Star" was still playing.

She thought of Ziyuan and said, "I pushed open the window that night, and there was a wind and a miracle."

The water droplets in the air were evaporated in an instant, Chu Zihang's black windbreaker was rattling by the wind, he stood on the dragon's kiss and stretched out his hand to Ye Shu, Ye Shu felt that the air around her body became warmer, she laughed Taking a big step forward, the wind supported her to step on the shrunken and evenly arranged dragon scales, not as cold as the touch, but warm.

Who does she think she resembles?Like Lu Mingfei, Chu Zihang, someone who I miss very much. Maybe the name, appearance, and habits are very similar, like a person, but that person must have left.I can't become her, and I can't live in his place, but I can at least live with her.

This is the case in a kingdom ruled by dragons. Even if the king of a country is a god, he cannot look above his knees. Everyone can only kneel and worship a thousand meters away. God must exist. No matter how he uses it, he cannot be absent for a day. And human beings are infinitely humble.

The king of a country is an instant friend, the people can express their dissatisfaction at will, they can hug him or kiss him, they can invite him at the ball, and human beings are infinitely free.

The black dragon flapped its wings, and Chu Zihang supported her shoulders to prevent her from being dizzy due to the drop. The air began to flow, and the rain continued to fall, but she didn't seem to feel it.

She seemed to hear Lu Mingfei asking her, "Have you ever seen snow?"

She stretched out her hand, she had never had this kind of power before, she closed her eyes and opened them again, the golden light was reflected on the dragon scales, infinitely brilliant.The white spirit of words surrounded her, and she saw all the untouchable scenery flashing past her body, such as rivers, tall buildings, roads, and people.With a quick wave of her hand, the air was moved.

The rain in the air reversed in an instant, turning into fine icicles, falling rapidly, colliding with each other and turning into snow that fell.

The king of ocean and water is the holy winter. She soars in the starry sky and sinks into the secluded seabed. She overlooks all sleeping things at the junction of spring and autumn.

Your word spirit is the frost seal, with it you will not be afraid of the cold winter.

The next day's news will definitely report that the sudden snowfall in the southern city is a miracle.

Standing in the wind, she asked, "What are you guilty of, idiot."

Lu Mingfei flapped his wings, and under his wings was the Qiantang River.It's snowing here again.

"Isn't she alive and well, the wind and snow are still there!"

Chu Zihang closed his eyes, snowflakes broke through Jun Yan's barrier and hit him on the face, Lu Mingfei also canceled the Yin Flow, his dragon horns like black jade were frozen with a layer of ice.

What are you guilty of?

They flew for a long time, and when Lu Mingfei sent Ye Shu home, Ye Shu asked him: "Can you give me a piece of your dragon scale, I think it's so handsome."

Lu Mingfei seems to have returned to the chaotic period. When he created the king of ocean and water, two little girls in thin skirts stood in the cold wind, staring at him with golden eyes without any fear, stretching out their little hands His complicated royal robe, said: "Can you give me a dragon scale?"

The black king's dragon scales are indeed beautiful, more beautiful than all the visible materials created by nature in the world, and each piece carries countless powers. If the former hybrids get a piece of the second-generation dragon scales with the most impure bloodlines, they can Break your head.

Chu Zihang carefully broke off a small piece from the dragon's horn—in fact, there was also a palm-sized dragon scale and handed it to Ye Shu.

The dragon scales radiated golden light in the darkness, and a gust of wind passed by, and the miracle disappeared in the snow.

That piece of dragon scale was infused by Chu Zihang with all the ability of human beings to carry the spirit of speech. Ye Shu can use it to manipulate almost any natural ability and call the wind and the rain.

But she didn't, she soaked a box of instant noodles on the weekend destined to be rotten, took out the frozen mutton roll, lit Jun Yan, brushed a layer of oil on the dragon scales, and the barbecue was smoking, and in an instant fleeting.

She opened the night watchman forum and began to serialize the posts she hadn't opened for a long time.

It wrote Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei's farewell there. Two years have passed, and she doesn't know what kind of ending this is.

She took a bite of the barbecue, took a sip of beer, and typed the keyboard.They're good enough, with the same pain and near-omnipotent abilities, to move forward with responsibility, and what kind of farewell can stop that.

"Meet me quickly and let me know that this is not a parting."

The author has something to say: I am still writing a long side story, which can be regarded as a record of the two recovery events.

I have said on Weibo that because chapters need to compress the number of words, so many of the stalks I would like to write are not really connected to the plot, so I released it as a side story for everyone to read. After writing the next article, I basically All the stalks that I think are quite interesting are over, and I will revise the book to be complete after that, and will not update it anymore.I haven’t mentioned much in Jinjiang about the general sales of this book, and I don’t write much off topic in the chapters, and I’m not very good at replying to comments, so those who want to pay attention to other news should go to Weibo and LOFTER.
