fight for day

The plan was made, and the four of them set off separately early the next morning. Ye Zhuming contacted the hotel to rent a car. When they drove to Luoyu Ocean Park, the park was not yet open.

Although it didn't arrive at the time, there were many people waiting outside. Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, many students are on vacation, not to mention that S Province is located in the southwestern inland, and Qinwei Ocean Park is well-known in the entire province.

After booking tickets online in advance, Lu Zhou scanned the QR code and waited for the ticket in front of the automatic ticket machine. There was already a long queue at the ticket gate, and Ye Zhuming didn't want to be crowded with those aunts and uncles with grandchildren, so Sitting far away by the flower bed with leaflets on it.

He failed to carry out the life rule of "respect demeanor but not temperature" to the end today, and was half-coaxed and half-forced by Lu Zhou to wear a heavy winter coat. The cat, the mask is also put on.

No matter how beautiful a person is, he can't resist this kind of attire. Ye Zhuming became a real passerby for the first time in this kind of place where people come and go.

Lu Zhou looked at Ye Zhuming from afar, pulling on his hat and pulling on his mask, like a puppy whose owner put him in ill-fitting clothes for the first time, with disgust coming out of his eyes.

He smiled silently.

Suddenly there was a coughing sound behind him, and someone urged: "Handsome guy, do you want to get the ticket?"

Lu Zhou hurriedly said sorry, and then remembered to get the ticket.

Now it was ten o'clock, and the ticket gate was full of people. He returned to Ye Zhuming and raised the ticket in his hand, making a joke.

"Come on baby, we're dating at public expense."

Ye Zhuming stood up, rubbed the leaflets on the pad and threw them into the trash can. When he turned his head, his eyes fell somewhere, and suddenly he didn't move.

Lu Zhou followed his line of sight suspiciously, and the huge screen on the outer wall of the Ocean Park was also activated at this moment. It was probably the promotional video of the Ocean Park. Moving down, a section of gracefully shaped fish tail swayed in a winding curve. Long black hair floated in the water like seaweed, covering a white and thin back. The woman with a human upper body and a fish lower body turned her head and showed a smile that turned all living beings upside down.

"...This isn't it," Lu Zhou exclaimed in a low voice, "Hua Fuyou?!"

Ye Zhuming frowned, stared at the promotional video for a long time, and then walked towards the entrance.

This line of ticket checkers was a young girl in her twenties. They delayed for a while, and there were not many people in line now. Ye Zhuming knocked on the isolation pile, and pointed to the big screen after the girl looked up: "Beauty, ask me." , who is the mermaid above, and where is it inside?"

The girl glanced hastily: "That's Quan You. It's in the Mermaid Story Hall in Hall 7. Go in and turn the second corner to the right, and go straight—here, there's a route map on the back of the ticket."

Ye Zhuming snorted: "You two look quite young, are you part-time students here?"

The girl looked at him warily, not wanting to talk to him.

Ye Zhuming paused, took off his hat and mask, and smiled at the girl.

Lu Zhou was half a body behind him, watching the girl's face gradually turn red.

"No," the girl said softly, pulling her hair on her sideburns with her hands, "I have graduated and worked for two years, Quan You is a college student, but she is not a staff member, she is the daughter of our boss. She is She’s an art student, she’s good-looking and temperamental, and she was asked to act as a mermaid when filming promotional videos before, and she also likes swimming, so she would come here to dress up as a mermaid once in a while.”

The effect of brushing the face was remarkable, and the girl crackled a lot of words like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

Ye Zhuming kept smiling and continued to ask, "Is she in there now?"

"It's too early now, I'm afraid there won't be..."

Playing the role of a mermaid requires actors to soak in the water. It is unlikely to be performed all day long. There are three performances in the morning, noon and evening every day, each half an hour long.Quan You is the boss's daughter, she pretends to be a mermaid just out of interest, how can she go to work on time every day like these hard-working workers?

They stood here, and there were people queuing up one after another, the girl let Ye Zhuming and Lu Zhou in first: "Why don't you go inside and have a look first, I will check the tickets first, and I will ask you when I have time."

Ye Zhuming smiled: "That's really troublesome for you."

The temperature inside the aquarium was higher than outside. Lu Zhou untied his scarf and put it on his arm. The outer hall was filled with various explanatory screens. There were tourist groups and student groups, so it was so bustling.

Lu Zhou and Ye Zhuming came to the Mermaid Pavilion in Hall 7. Sure enough, there were only colorful figures of tropical fish shuttling through it. The display on the side indicated that there was still more than half an hour before the Mermaid show.

Based on the thought of coming and being idle, Ye Zhuming counted the time and really dragged Lu Zhou around in the aquarium.

Although they joked that it was a date at public expense, but the two old men had extraordinary vision. They wandered around for half a circle, and the only thing they were interested in was the handicraft and seafood market.

The price of things in this kind of place usually treats tourists like pigs, but Ye Zhuming obviously doesn’t care about this. He made a video call to Bai Suzhen, showed him the seafood category, and bought 1 yuan while the other party was excitedly ordering. many.

"You can eat whatever you want," Ye Zhuming said to Lu Zhou, "send it back to Ducheng together."

Lu Zhou waved his hand.

Ye Zhuming was entering the address when he thought of something: "Why don't you choose something expensive and send it to your mother and sister."

He also knew about Lu Zhou's family conditions, and explained: "Whether you eat or not is the second priority. When you are on a business trip, you should always bring something home, so that your family members know that you miss them."

All relationships in this world need to be maintained, and family relationships are no exception.

When Lu Zhou traveled around the world last year, he would send home novelties when he saw them, but since he came here, he really doesn’t have much time to buy things for the two ladies in his family. It seems that he only ordered a precious poem for each of them before New Year’s Day. Dragon necklace.

Expensive is expensive, lack of heart.

So Lu Zhou chose two servings of sea cucumber and abalone, but Ye Zhuming stopped him when he wanted to pay.

"Just fill in the delivery address." Ye Zhuming took out the card and said to the cashier, "Pay together."

"Hello, the total is 57682." The cashier smiled.

Ye Zhuming hummed and swiped his card. Lu Zhou didn't like to argue about money in front of his face, so he didn't make a sound.

After shopping, it was almost time for the mermaid show. They confirmed the face sheet and walked back.

Lu Zhou hesitated for a moment, then said, "Zhuming, let me ask you something, how does your salary support your daily expenses?"

Kind of offensive, but genuinely curious.

As a department accountant, he knew about Ye Zhuming's salary. The basic salary was [-] yuan per month and close to seven figures at the end of the year.

It seems like a lot, but Ye Zhuming is a big brand from head to toe, all kinds of ladies' skin care products are applied on his body as if he doesn't need money. After confirming the relationship, Lu Zhou helped him sign for Armani and Burberry clothes, nine sets, all New for early spring.

Even if Lu Zhou is not good at this, his mother Tan Zhenyue is an out-and-out noble lady, and she has nothing to do except spend money every day.Obsessed with what he has seen and heard, Lu Zhou only needs a rough calculation to know that unless Ye Zhuming's income is more than 0, it is basically impossible to support his consumption level.

Ye Zhuming didn't hide it on purpose, but felt that there was no need to deliberately shake off his little family background in front of a rich second generation like Lu Zhou, but since Lu Zhou asked, he didn't hide it and let him know about his family background In the end, even with his own inheritance of hundreds of millions of dollars.

"The fund is managed by someone, and my expenses are all income. I spend a lot but still have some left over." Ye Zhuming glanced at Lu Zhou a little nervously, a little worried that the other party would dislike him as a gold-swallowing beast.

Although Lu Zhou was a little surprised, it was not difficult to accept, and he was even a little happy in his heart.

——With such a family background, there should be nothing to be picky about taking Tan Zhenyue home, not to mention that Tan Zhenyue already has a good impression of Ye Zhuming.

It's just that I set up a straight man too much before, so I have to give Tan Zhenyue a break first.

Let's mention it when I go home during the Chinese New Year.

Lu Zhou thought about it, and said again: "But you are a good brother, and you are really good to Xiaobai."

In Ye Zhuming's salary, Ba Ma has to pay [-] yuan every month, just because the other party wants to take care of Bai Suzhen.

Ye Zhuming said in an angry and helpless tone: "It's not like you haven't seen him eating like that, just like a fucking starving ghost reincarnated..." He was in the middle of complaining, then suddenly fell silent, and looked at Lu Zhou.

"Are you jealous?"

Lu Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He's like a child, why am I jealous - I'm just curious."

Bai Suzhen has a lot of connections with Mu Qinggui, the ghost king's big brother, and Mu Qinggui was fostered by him, just to get a bit of dragon spirit from him.Ye Zhuming is not patient, and he doesn't want to bring a bottle of oil, but Mu Qinggui promised him some benefits with a dark face, and Ye Zhuming reluctantly agreed.

Let's say that Bai Suzhen was only as thick as a thumb when he first arrived in his hand eight years ago, and in human form he only looked like a five or six-year-old child.Ye Zhuming casually named Xiaobai and registered for household registration. After raising him for a few months, he was thrown to Chi Huan to be taken care of by Chi Huan. .

Bama, who is at the bottom of the food chain, has no one to bully, so he works as a nanny without complaint. Unexpectedly, Bai Su's real soul body is extraordinary, and even his snake body has undergone changes. In just a few years, he has become so fat that he can Filling out the Great Wall and becoming a young man, Ye Zhuming was forced to change his birth date in his household registration three times.

Originally, both of them lived in the Yijing Bureau unit, but after Gu Yangfeng took office, he had a somewhat unclear relationship with Bama, Bama wanted to avoid it, so Ye Zhuming asked Mu to make a fortune, and still Seeing Bai Su's true physique, he bought another house for the two of them to live in.

This cheap brother is not very easy to be.Ye Zhuming was a little emotional.

He explained the reason in detail, and Lu Zhou suddenly realized, after thinking about it, he still asked: "I heard that you have a younger brother in your household registration book..."

Ye Zhuming: "Who did you listen to?"

Who the hell talks about Lao Tzu behind his back all day long? !

Lu Zhou knew what he meant, but he still avoided talking about it: "Oh, whoever said it, I'm just curious."

Ye Zhuming teased: "He said he wasn't jealous..."

Lu Zhou: "I heard that your other younger brother is only 15 years old."

Ye Zhuming: "Huh?"

Lu Zhou calmly said, "If you make me jealous, then you should be in prison."

Ye Zhuming: "..."

Ye Zhuming cursed something with a smile, and said: "The other one is Song Huairan. I met him when I went back to China and practiced in the mountains. Well, he helped me a lot. Later, when he was old enough to go to school, I reported him to Li. I wanted to solve his study problems, so I gave him my account here."

Lu Zhou did some calculations and was very puzzled: "Speaking of which, he was only five or six years old... How can such a small doll help you?"

Ye Zhuming laughed and thought of something: "He is not an ordinary doll—hey, if you meet him by chance, you will know what he is capable of."

This is strange, although beauty is in the eye of a beholder, but Lu Zhou also knows that Ye Zhuming has always had the conceit of "I think all living beings are stupid", and he is really curious about the child who can make him treat him differently.

It's just curiosity, so I can't think too much at the moment. They returned to the Mermaid Pavilion, and the performance had just started. The front row was already full of people, and many parents let their children sit on their shoulders.

The light outside was dim, the water was rippling inside the glass wall, and the spotlight flickered slightly in the big shell. Soon there was movement from above, and several mermaids in bikini tops entered the water, their long fish tails constantly dancing, and they swam gracefully to the glass. Before, compare your heart with the audience.

There was admiration in his ears, and Lu Zhou felt his scalp tingle when he looked at the flexible fish tail.

Without him, Lu Zhou has seen real mermaids before, and the proportions of the lower body and tail of the mermaid in the restaurant in front of him are too similar to those he has seen before.

He turned his head to look at Ye Zhuming, Ye Zhuming also looked solemn, frowning watching those mermaid performances.

Maybe it was a tacit understanding, when Lu Zhou looked at him, he also tilted his head, bent down and lowered his head to Lu Zhou's ear: "Fake."

Lu Zhou pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "There is no Huafuyou -- there is no Quanyou."

Ye Zhuming hummed: "It's okay, just wait."

In this wave of performances, there were about 13 mermaids taking turns on the stage. After the half-hour performance was over, Quan You did not appear on stage.

Ye Zhuming was not very disappointed, there was another road blocked, the two returned to the ticket gate, the girl was sitting and resting, Ye Zhuming went to talk to her, she said.

"Quan You hasn't come here for a while, but I asked her classmates who came to work part-time before, and said that Quan You is learning to draw with the teacher today..."

Ye Zhuming wanted to ask the specific location, but held back, and said casually, "Oh, it's at school, after all, it's Wednesday."

The girl said: "That's not true, their university is on vacation, it's just that our boss loves his daughter, so he hired a teacher from some art association for Quan You to teach her, usually in the Guyu Art Park - it's the famous one on our side." A training school."

Ye Zhuming agreed and nodded.

Lu Zhou rubbed his forehead in his heart, and he was really dizzy, and the girl was too defenseless.
