The Zombie King Wants To Live An Ordinary Life - Chapter 8

Lu Ren slowly opened his eyes, the morning sun shone on his forehead from the gap in the curtains, and the minimalist square chandelier on the ceiling caught the eye, with a faint circle of light on the off-white lampshade.

Maybe he changed to a brand new place. He was a little strange and tranced in an instant, and he couldn’t remember where he was. The face in the corner of the light was quiet and white and flawless, shining like an intricately carved artwork. He rubbed it. After rubbing his eyes, he recognized the sleeping face in front of him.

Lu Ren glanced at the phone. The time displayed on the screen was 6:12. He lightly got up from the floor, stepped on slippers and left the bedroom.

Even if the skin does not secrete sweat or oil, Lu Ren insists on brushing his teeth and washing his face every day like a normal person. Although they are all trivial and useless little habits, for Lu Ren, they are all the details that must be done in life like ordinary people.

Lu Ren used a band of bandage tape to cover the unerased watermark on his neck, then put on natural black cosmetic contact lenses, looked in the mirror to confirm that there were no flaws in the dress, then unlocked the bathroom door and walked out.

“Good morning, doctor.” Youyou yawned lazily with her shaggy brown hair.

Lu Ren walked into the kitchen with a perfunctory “um”, as if he hadn’t seen the big living person in front of him.

You You’s pale blue eyes were slightly narrowed, and Lu Ren’s cold reaction caused his originally good mood to fall to the bottom, and the dark factors in his temper could not control the secret commotion.

Why don’t you even look at charity? Mingming touched his head to comfort himself last night. The corners of You You’s mouth tightened, and an unspeakable anger of grievance blocked his throat like a hard stone, which was difficult to relieve and digest.

The almost gorgeous face became distorted because of his emotions. You You stared at himself in the mirror, and even had a tyrannical mood in his mind that he wanted to crush everything.

He gritted his teeth and endured the sudden emotions, turned on the faucet, and brought his face to the water.

Cold and suffocating.

The death environment is almost desperate for others, but it is You You’s only way to forcefully calm his impulse.

The sound of water buzzed around the cochlea.

Until the air in his lungs was almost exhausted, You You held the sink with both hands and raised his head. The slender water flow gathered into a curtain and flowed down his bangs, and the restless mood finally cooled. He took the towel and wiped his face, his vision gradually became clear, and he began to wash in silence.

When was the toothpaste squeezed on the toothbrush? You You suddenly froze.

The restroom was silent, and only the heart beating was heard vigorously.

***

Lu Ren stood in the kitchen, flipping the two golden poached eggs in the pan with a wooden spatula. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned off the gas stove and picked the poached eggs on the toasted bread.

“Do you drink milk or yogurt?” Lu Ren opened the door of the refrigerator and asked the young man behind him.

“yogurt.”

“That’s wrong, there is only milk here.” Lu Ren held the milk paper can in one hand, and walked to the table with the breakfast plate in the other. He raised his head and found that You You were watching him with an indescribable weird look.

“Did you wash your hair in the morning?” Lu Ren sat down and looked at the sticky hair.

“I accidentally touched it when I was washing my face.” You You supported her chin, her eyes were gentle and watery, making Luren’s pores tighten.

“Don’t eat it?”

“Reluctant to eat, this is the first breakfast the doctor made for me.” You You fiddled with the golden omelette. He was in a good mood and his voice seemed to be reading poetry. “I want to seal it up and keep it forever. “

“Don’t waste food, give it to me if you don’t eat it.”

“No, this is mine.” You You put the plate in front of him.

Lu Ren looked at the appearance of the young puppy guarding the food, feeling a little funny, and the corners of his mouth were involuntarily convulsed.

“Doctor Lu, it looks good with a smile.” You You keenly noticed the change in the man’s expression and said with a smile.

Lu Ren was stunned, lowered his head slightly, his expression restored as before, and his lips pressed to a flat line.

He is still not used to getting along with bright and enthusiastic people like You You. They are very different. If you compare the whole society to a competitive tropical forest, Lu Ren is a slow, idle sloth, and You You has gorgeous patterns. The vigorous jaguar, a lazy daze creature and a flexible top predator, obviously have difficulty understanding each other’s thoughts.

The phone rang and a call came in.

“Hello, Director Zhao, ah, don’t bother. Please tell me if you have anything.” Lu Ren glanced at his contact, connected the phone in a friendly tone commonly used in workplaces, and walked to the balcony of the dormitory.

Director Zhao’s voice came over the phone: “Doctor Lu, have you successfully received the reinstated students?”

“Yes, I have taken him out of the control room.” Lu Ren held a cigarette between his fingers.

“It seems that you are in contact. Remember to tell him to hand in the form at the logistics office this afternoon and complete the formalities for returning to school.”

“Okay, I will take him over.” Lu Ren pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little tired.

“How is it? Do you feel okay?” Director Zhao asked concerned, “Your SOS bracelet shows that you have used self-protection measures. If he does any dangerous behavior—”

“No, everything is fine.” Lu Ren cut off the conversation and explained, “I accidentally crushed the bracelet. You You’s performance so far has been normal and has not done any dangerous behavior.”

“Really?” Director Zhao was a little surprised, “Did You You get along well with you?”

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Lu Ren couldn’t help showing a helpless wry smile: “It’s okay, in fact, for some reason, he temporarily stayed in my dormitory last night.”

There was no sound, and there was a long silence on the phone.

“Director Zhao?” Lu Ren asked.

“Doctor Lu, you have strong communication skills and are a rare talent.” Director Zhao said meaningfully, “When I first delegated this task, I was very worried about whether you have the ability to complete it. “

“No, in fact I didn’t have either—” Lu Ren was called “a rare talent” by his direct leadership, and Lu Ren couldn’t really afford it.

“That also shows that you have an extremely strong personal charm. The AI ​​system of the unit and the interviewers have chosen you for a reason.” Director Zhao’s words did not hide his appreciation for Lu Ren.

“Director, I’m sorry, I just did my job well.” Lu Ren smirked twice without explaining too much. It is indeed a very powerful personal charm, but he can never say that the dangerous person in the director’s mouth is trying to develop a deeper and more intimate relationship with him.

“Doctor Lu, don’t belittle yourself. The leader of the unit assigns the returning students to you to be responsible, enough to show the trust and appreciation of you.” Director Zhao’s voice became lighter, “I forgot to tell you before that You You are actually…”

No key content has been heard yet, Lu Ren’s mobile phone was snatched away.

“Don’t call me again.” You You said coldly.

Lu Ren took the phone back, and Director Zhao’s phone had been disconnected. He planned to call back, and with a ding of the phone, Director Zhao sent in the specific report time in the afternoon, and once again reminded him to pay attention to You You’s emotions.

“What are you doing? My call hasn’t finished yet.” Lu Ren’s voice became angry.

“You have been playing for too long, and breakfast is cold.” You You looked straight into Lu Ren’s eyes and said calmly.

“Does it matter?” Lu Ren frowned. He couldn’t understand Yu You. Food is not necessary for Lu Ren, and even for ordinary people, breakfast can be eaten even if it is cold. It can be hot again. , This kind of thing doesn’t matter at all compared to work. In the communication, the transparent barrier between the two people became more and more clear.

“It won’t taste good when it’s cold, I want to eat with you, when the food is in its best state.” You swim for a while, “This kind of memory is the best and the most perfect.”

“…” The reason You You said still made Lu Ren unacceptable. It was like doing something deliberately, but after listening to it, Lu Ren couldn’t really get angry.

He finally understood that the young man in front of him had become accustomed to whatever he wanted in the end of the five years. He would only consider his own preferences, not the emotions of others, nor the so-called unspoken rules in his life.

It is true that it is true that I hope to have breakfast with him, and that it is true that I don’t want him to continue to call.

The behavior of young people is based on such straightforward and simple reasons.

“Are you angry with me? Because of the person who just called.” You You’s hand clenched tightly where Lu Ren could not see.

“No.” Lu Ren sighed and looked at You You’s voice softly, “But as your doctor, I want to tell you that it’s impolite to directly hang up on someone else’s phone, and it’s even more excessive to hang up on someone else’s phone.”

You You did not speak.

“Promise me not to do this next time, can you?” Lu Ren approached the youth and patted the other person on the shoulder.

After a long time, You You nodded slightly: “I promise you.”

“If you have a promise, you must obey it,” Lu Ren added.

“What I promised will definitely be done, and will not be easily forgotten like the doctor.” You You sat back at the table with a face open and picked up a bite of uneaten bread and eggs.

“What did I forget?” Lu Ren was stunned, not remembering what he had promised.

“Nothing.” You You asked lightly, “What did that man say to the doctor? I seem to hear my name.”

Lu Ren drank the milk and couldn’t help remembering what Director Zhao hadn’t finished saying at the end: “Oh, the unit asked you to go to the logistics office to go through the resumption procedures in the afternoon.” Lu Ren put down the cup and asked, “Will you go?”

“Will the doctor go with me?” You You said lightly.

“The training has not started yet, if you need, I can accompany you.” Lu Ren said.

“The doctor wants me to go, I’ll go.” You You finished the last bit of milk.

“This matter…in fact, you have to consider your own ideas.” Lu Ren said.

“You work here, I will stay here for training. My idea is to stay with you.” You You did not look at the expression on Lu Ren’s face. After sending the tableware into the kitchen, she returned to the bedroom alone.
