Chapter 1027 The Twenty-Three Yuan and Fifty Cent Rooftop
On the rooftop of the internet cafe across from the Late Night Bookstore, Zhou Ze sat alone with a bottle of red wine and two glasses beside him.
The red wine was called "Supreme Dry Red."
It came from a small shop run by Granny Wang in the alley behind South Street, diagonally opposite the bookstore, and cost twenty-three yuan and fifty fen.
The label was printed with a mixture of French and English, plus a line of Chinese telling you the origin was some French winery.
Boss Zhou still felt it was a bit expensive.
In his previous life as a doctor, staying up late was the norm. Some older doctors liked to use strong tea to stay awake, while Zhou Ze preferred coffee. Back then, he had a colleague with good family conditions who also liked coffee, so, taking advantage of the situation, Boss Zhou upgraded from instant Nestlé and experienced the feeling of grinding coffee beans.
So, in this life, with slightly better conditions, he drank kopi luwak. Although expensive, at least he could distinguish between good and bad.
As for red wine, after two lifetimes, Boss Zhou's biggest impression of alcohol still stopped at its use as a disinfectant.
He came out onto the rooftop, the evening breeze blowing, and he'd prepared to chat with Xiao Tian'er. He even had peanuts ready. How could he not have some wine?
Beer was boring, and baijiu needed an atmosphere, especially if it was likely he'd be drinking alone. Red wine was the most suitable.
He poured himself a glass,
Took a small sip,
And frowned slightly.
A little sour,
A little sweet.
After the sourness passed, there was a cloying sweetness, just like love.
"I say, isn't that woman annoying? Is she coming to cause trouble again?"
There was really no need to guess who left that word.
Although there was a severe Stockholm syndrome patient standing at the Naihe Bridge, who still wanted to reciprocate Ying Gou despite being violated by him for so many years,
That one was well-behaved. When she first met Zhou Ze, she even gave him a meeting gift and didn't do anything else.
Honestly, Boss Zhou had a pretty good impression of her.
And going out and telling people that Meng Po of Naihe Bridge, do you know her?
She's my relative.
That's a lot of face…
But this one who sent the skull,
Was a complete chili pepper, no, a millet pepper, even a facing-heaven pepper.
Whether it was her noble status as the daughter of the Yellow Emperor or her identity as a zombie ancestor whose drought power wasn't inferior to Ying Gou's,
It showed that she was by no means an easy character to deal with.
Moreover, everyone had already met once under Qingcheng Mountain.
This woman only had Ying Gou in her eyes. She didn't care about anyone else's life or death, and even wished she could clean them all up, leaving only her and Ying Gou to live in their own world.
If Ying Gou hadn't directly played the role of a scumbag, heartless man, phoenix man, and hopeless straight male chauvinist,
And turned against her,
The bookstore might really be her territory now.
This was a complaint, Boss Zhou's resentment.
Since waking up, although he'd encountered the land gods returning to their posts and the immortal slaves throwing themselves into his net, these things were all within a controllable range.
Overall, although there were constant small waves, the overall situation was still stable.
And this stability was what Boss Zhou liked the most.
He could continue to live in a drunken dream, basking in his sun every day, drinking kopi luwak, enjoying Yingying's service, and living a luxurious life, so he needed to maintain stability.
"What… does… it… have… to… do… with… me…"
Ying Gou responded, but the response still seemed irresponsible.
Zhou Ze picked up the wine glass,
Looking at the red liquid swirling in the glass,
Excluding the cost of the bottle, this glass of wine should be worth about three yuan, right?
Just like when he was in school and eating in the school cafeteria, a portion of braised pork was five yuan, only five pieces of meat. Boss Zhou had to calculate in his mind every time he took a bite, this bite is one yuan, this bite is one yuan and fifty fen, this piece of meat is smaller, it's eighty fen.
"Do you want some?" Zhou Ze asked.
Zhou Ze thought that after getting used to drinking wine brewed with the blood of ancient demon gods, tasting this twenty-three yuan and fifty fen dry red from the alley shop was like changing to a different flavor.
Ying Gou didn't answer, probably because the suggestion was too retarded to respond to.
Boss Zhou drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and even tried to curl his tongue, not knowing if the method was correct, but feeling good about himself was enough.
He put down the glass, his throat was terribly greasy,
It was really too hard to drink,
It would have been better to just choose juice.
"Where is she?"
"Don't… know…"
"But she knows where we are." Boss Zhou reached out and grabbed a handful of his hair. "I'm afraid this woman will do something crazy again."
"What… do… you… want… to… do…"
"I think, no matter what conflicts or misunderstandings you had before, the best way to solve it is for everyone to sit down and discuss and negotiate in a peaceful manner.
Increase mutual trust through communication, enhance understanding through mutual trust, and resolve conflicts through understanding."
"Simpler…"
"Find her, catch her, and treat people with kindness!"
Boss Zhou raised his head,
The evening breeze lifted his bangs,
In the depths of his eyes,
There was a black luster flowing.
If it was a serious opponent, then that's fine. Everyone faces each other with soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, and they just fight;
But this kind of opponent, with a strong strength as a premise, also has special hobbies and quirks, which makes people headache.
It's not that Boss Zhou is cold-blooded, but to deal with this kind of opponent, if you're not cold-blooded, you can just wait to be played to death by her.
"She… is… still… recovering…"
"I know."
Zhou Ze continued:
"But she's sending things over now, proving that she's almost recovered. Speaking of which, she seems to be faster than you."
After saying this,
Zhou Ze regretted it.
Yeah,
When he had a little savings in his hand,
Why didn't he go to the bank to deposit a fixed deposit,
Why did he have to go to hell to show off?
Showing off for a while is refreshing, and always showing off must be always refreshing;
But the emptiness afterwards is so long.
"Do you have any way to contact her? Let's just solve this problem privately."
"No…"
"Really? Why do I feel like you know? Or can't you bear it?
No way, you've treated her like that, and you still think you can continue to cherish the fairer sex?"
"Watchdog…"
"Okay, okay, I have no reason to question or interfere in your love life, but the problem now is that your love life has seriously affected my life.
Oh right, why not find an opportunity to find her? Doesn't she want to be with you? Why don't you sacrifice yourself a little, and I'll suffer a bit too, and fulfill you two.
You can just invite her into the depths of our soul,
Then,
Outside,
I continue to live my life,
You can continue to play with figures in the depths of your soul, or even make your own figures.
Oh right,
I've always been curious, can you make babies without a physical body?
You should be able to create miracles, I believe in you…"
His body,
Suddenly began to tremble violently,
Boss Zhou immediately prostrated himself on the ground,
The muscles in his face began to spasm painfully,
But he was still resisting this pain, forcibly resisting Ying Gou's power.
The pen in his pocket was trembling excitedly,
It seemed to have always been looking forward to Zhou Ze being able to let it go up again and seal this most awesome boss!
"Don't… think… I… don't… know… what… you… are… thinking…"
Yeah,
Boss Zhou's plan was,
Very clear.
Anyway, the soul is already living with a Ying Gou,
Living with a Hanba is also living,
Who cares how you spend your days inside?
At this moment,
If there's danger, you can call Ying Gou to come up and help,
If there's danger in the future,
I'll have Ying Gou on my left hand and Hanba on my right hand,
Who dares to come and cause trouble,
I'll directly beat him until he doubts his life!
People's greed is endless, even the demand for cheats is the same.
Two cheats are always safer than one cheat. If one of them is turned off, the other can continue to be used.
"Can't I even think about it? Why are you so domineering?"
"You… are… just… a…"
"Alright, alright, I'm a watchdog, a watchdog, do you want me to bark twice for you to hear?"
Boss Zhou rolled his eyes,
The feeling of pain was dissipating like a receding tide.
"Can… find… her…"
"You should have said so earlier."
Boss Zhou wiped the cold sweat from his face caused by the painful process just now,
This time he no longer disliked it,
Picked up the wine bottle,
And started pouring the twenty-three yuan and fifty fen Supreme Dry Red directly down his throat.
"There… I… can't… go…"
"What do you mean you can't go?"
"There… I… can't… take… action…"
Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment.
"You… can… be… unaffected…"
"Yeah, you can't take action, hide behind and rest, and I'll go up and fight Hanba alone? What am I going to use to fight alone?"
"Can… bring… people… go…"
"Bring who? Bring Lao Zhang? He only has a wisp of Wangcai's clone on him, it's not enough to fight at all. Bring the little zombie? Do you believe he'll go over and kneel down and call her female ancestor?
Bring who? There's no one to bring, there's really no one."
"Didn't… have… before… now… have…"
Boss Zhou showed a thoughtful look,
Suddenly thought of something,
And said:
"You mean, find a way to resurrect Half Face?"
Ying Gou was silent for a long time, seemingly speechless.
Zhou Ze urged:
"I did promise him when I swallowed him that I would resurrect him one day, is that what you're talking about?"
"Maybe…"
