"Good morning." Phaethon lifted Shangluo's quilt.
"What are you doing!!! Scared me."
"You asked me to wake you up. Is there a problem? Why aren't you awake yet?"
"Because I don't know what time it is. I can control my schedule. Theoretically, I can sleep at any time and wake up at any time. But I can only open my eyes and look at the clock, so I have to look at the sky when I wake up. What time is it now?
"Yu Jing 6:30:02. Any questions?"
"No problem" Shangluo rubbed his face to make himself more awake.
"No problem, just get up and I'll make the bed."
This was the first time that Shangluo was kicked out of bed, at least for a long time. When he lived with Lao Shang before, he would get up on time every day and there was no need for Lao Shang to call him.
"Wait a minute, I'll sleep for a while, remember. Ah, actually I'm still a little sleepy, I have to sleep for another 10 minutes."
"Get up!" Phaethon reached out and pulled out the sheets, and Shangluo turned around, "I don't know how you can sleep with such a big thing on your back!"
【Ah ah ah! What's wrong! earthquake! Why are you spinning in circles? 】This time Apollonia was also woken up.
"Blame it on your little niece. She wouldn't let me sleep and even whipped my sheets."
[Ah, it’s so early in the morning that I can’t let anyone sleep. Don't move around and walk softly. I still live above you. 】
"What do you mean by living upstairs from me?" Before he could finish speaking, he heard a purring sound in his ears.
[Hahu. Ha. Huh.] Apollonia fell asleep.
“It’s great to be young”
He rolled out of bed and put on his slippers.
Phaethon was still standing in his room. While talking to Apollonia, Phaethon kept smelling something.
"What are you doing? Smelling around my room."
She frowned, lowered her head and smelled Shangluo's quilt.
"smell good."
"Hey! Sister, your words are scary in every sense of the word! What do you mean when you say I smell so good?!"
"Objective description. In fact, I felt this way yesterday. When I came to your room today, the smell was even more obvious. It smells like the Atlantic Ocean."
"What metaphor is the smell of the Atlantic Ocean? Did you and Apollonia both study at a Martian language school?"
"We were both taught by the same teacher, and we took classes together. By the way, where did your smell come from?"
"After becoming a heavenly being, the body can clean itself, so it probably has a fragrance - by the way, can you maintain a sense of boundaries with me? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"I'm just a little disappointed. Heavenly beings are so good. They can control their own work and rest, and their bodies can clean themselves. But now, even my hair has returned to the way it looked like a mortal. When I combed my hair just now, the ends of my hair actually split. .”
"As your hair grows, it tends to get split ends. I also had split ends in the past, so I have to wash and comb my hair very carefully."
"But now there's no forking."
"Let me tell you." Shangluo put his hands on his hips, "With such a big thing on your back, why are you still worrying about your hair?"
"Because of my dignity, I pay attention to my image. If I go back now, I will definitely be pitied."
"Such as Mr. Titus, right?"
"Do you know him too? A very kind uncle, we have worked together before. It is because they are so good to me that I can't stand the feeling of being pitied. I should be the one protecting them, not them protecting me."
"Well, I can understand this feeling of disparity." Shangluo wanted to reach out and pat him on the shoulder, but stopped. Firstly, she is a girl, and secondly, the pat on the shoulder is also a sign of sympathy.
He took his hand back: "Well, I wish you good luck. Can you recover?"
What Shangluo wanted to say was that Phaethon might now be able to become an immortal. But before asking Daozu, he didn't want to give Phaethon too unrealistic expectations. Her self-esteem is much more fragile than imagined.
"No. The opportunity to become a demigod is rare. The most controllable way is to become a god. When my father became a god, I was promoted to a demigod as the son of a god. Now, I may have to consider some of my own Plan. Of course, don’t worry, I won’t delay your work here, after all, I accepted your employment.”
Breakfast is still instant noodles, because Phaethon only made instant noodles. Compared with yesterday, she made 3 cents worth of Tom Yum Goong noodle soup today, which was produced in Siam.
Although it costs 3 cents, it still contains flour cakes and powder packets.
However, the taste of the noodle packet is very interesting. Part of the taste of Tom Yum Goong soup is actually restored in the small packet of noodle.
"Are you full?" he asked Phaethon.
"full."
"Then, let's get started. Bring the key to the office and go first. I'll have a meeting with Daozu and come back. Pass me the uniform."
He put on his school uniform over his shirt, then hung his furoshiki and hung his hunting knife on his waist.
Phaethon also wore a similar school uniform. He was wearing this when he came that day.
This is not surprising. The uniforms of all middle schools in Yujing are almost the same style, except for the badges. Phaethon's set does not have a badge, so it does not represent any school.
"Huh? Your furoshiki looks very unique? Is this popular now?"
"Uh" he didn't have a good answer. He doesn't want Phaethon to know that Helios' heart lies within it, because he doesn't want to "test" Phaethon's patience. It turns out that this guy sometimes fails to stand the test.
"It's a popular element."
"It's really fashionable." She couldn't help but touch her hair again.
"Do you have any hair care shampoo here?"
"Shampoo? I usually go to the nearby store to buy a bottle worth more than ten or twenty yuan, just to wash it off."
"The two bottles in the bathroom you mentioned? I used them, but the split ends got worse."
"Well" Shangluo didn't care much about hair at first, but if he put himself in his shoes, he also knew why Phaethon cared so much about hair - because it was dignity. After falling from being a demigod, the most striking feature is that his hair has changed into a mortal appearance. This was a huge psychological gap for her.
"There seems to be a better one." Shangluo thought about it and seemed to have seen it before, "I remember that Nanyang Department Store seemed to have it. And have you read the mail order brochure? You can take a look."
"Okay." She casually tied her hair up into a high ponytail like when they first met. This is Phaethon's consistent look. At least this would allow her to regain some of her previous feelings.
"Go out." Phaethon opened the door in front. This was the first time she faced the world under the sun with her mortal body.
