Zhou Jinru shook his head: "I'm not sad now and I don't want to cry."
His dream journey was not over yet, but when he was separated from Ming Yue Xin, he felt a little depressed and seemed to have missed something.
"Is it dawn yet?"
Zhou Jinru looked out the window. It was dark outside with no light at all.
There is no doubt that he was sent out of the dreamland by the bridge in the heart of the moon, and he didn't even have time to prepare mentally.
Wei Cao was still lying on the bedside, looking at the man quietly, and then asked: "Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"
Zhou Jinru sighed: "I can't sleep."
After experiencing what happened in the dream, how could he sleep again?
He looked at Wei Cao: "You too?"
"I have no idea."
Wei Cao looked worried and whispered: "I may not be able to go back."
Can’t go back to the deep pool?
That's not a bad thing.
Zhou Jinru didn't say anything, but he kept thinking in his heart what would have happened if Wei Cao had not met the Rhode Island operator.
"Then you won't go back. Do you want to always be your sister's shadow?"
Wei Cao's slender eyebrows moved slightly and blinked, as if to say that you claimed to be a supporter of Drac, why did you suddenly change your words?
Zhou Jinru put his head on his hands and explained forcefully: "I am a supporter of Aslan during the day, and a supporter of Drake at night. In fact, I am still a nonpartisan."
"Hmph, the last person who spoke to me like this was already thrown into an abandoned mine to be fed to Originium Worms."
Wei Cao's threat was soft and without strength, and Zhou Jinru laughed twice in response.
He turned his body sideways, propped up the side of his face with his right arm, and asked, "If your sister doesn't come to you, how are you going to live?"
"Impossible, my sister will definitely come to find me."
Wei Cao's tone was not as firm as a day ago, and she began to wonder whether Shen Chi would respond to the code.
Zhou Jinru struck while the iron was hot: "Weicao, what if, I mean what if, you don't wait for your sister, you can't stay here forever, let alone hide in Londinium for a long time."
"What do you want to say?"
"You know, I am a supervisor in a large pharmaceutical company and have a certain say in personnel recruitment. If you are willing, I can write a letter of introduction and you can come to work in the company where I work. In other words , I plan to hire you."
"I can do nothing."
"It doesn't matter, you can learn slowly. This land has never been peaceful. Even pharmaceutical companies like ours need to expand their business, such as acting as temporary mercenaries. Of course, they are not as professional as Black Steel International. After all, we are only temporary Guest roles, occasionally responsible for transporting valuable furniture, confidential information, or a few prisoners, are all trivial tasks, and with your talent, you are completely qualified."
Zhou Jinru's current expression is the same as that of an unscrupulous HR who abducted an ignorant student who had just left school. Poor Wei Cao was being manipulated by him.
"But……"
"Why not give yourself more opportunities? Can a small deep pool really allow you to fulfill your ambitions?"
Wei Cao looked confused, and she shook her head slowly: "What I want is not a stage to display my ambitions. I want to think about it carefully."
Zhou Jinru didn't chase too closely: "Well, we will stay in Londinium for a while anyway. You can reply to me at any time if you think about it."
"Oh, thank you."
"You're welcome, we are all our own people."
Wei Cao was a little aggrieved. She wanted to say that they were not her own, but when she thought that she might live on the streets and become a prisoner of Aslan, she had to compromise.
"You can continue to live here. I will leave after dawn and come back in the evening. You can cook whatever you want. There are enough ingredients in the refrigerator."
Zhou Jinru repeated what he said yesterday. After all, Wei Cao was not a fool. He could not coax him to go to the island with just two words. Without Xiaoqiu County’s help, he really wanted Wei Cao to go to the island. It takes some means.
Suddenly, Zhou Jinru felt that he should change his name. His surname should be Song Cai, but when he thought about it again, he felt something was wrong. After suffering so much injustice in the sitcom, why should he write two lines of poetry on the bank of the Saiga River? What if he could avenge his grievances in his youth and stain the mouth of the Sega River with blood?
After finally waiting until dawn, Zhou Jinru returned to the hotel where he was staying in Rhode Island with two dark circles under his eyes. As soon as he entered, he saw Chen Shou at the door. He thought he had been cursed by the groundhog and had returned to the previous day.
"Sir Chen, what's wrong?"
Chen glanced at him and raised his chin: "Doctor, you ran away alone again."
"I didn't run away."
"I'm talking about melodrama."
Zhou Jinru said plausibly: "That's just a plot character running around on his own, and it has nothing to do with me."
boom!
Chen grabbed his clothes, pushed him to the wall, leaned a little closer, and said coldly: "Doctor, you'd better think of a reason to convince me, otherwise I will beat you up next time we meet. .”
Zhou Jinru raised his hands: "You must be talking about a sitcom, right?"
Chen tilted his head: "What do you think?"
As his strength grew, Zhou Jinru had a slightly clearer idea of how strong Chen was. Normally, he had no room to fight back before Chen drew his sword three times.
The power of drawing a sword is huge, it can tear mountains and rocks, it is not easy, but it also consumes a lot of physical strength. At Chen's current level, without the assistance of Chixiao's double swords, he will be exhausted after stabbing five times with his bare hands.
Theoretically, after three sword blows, her condition would seriously decline due to lack of physical strength. Only she knew how powerful the next two sword blows were.
"Ajie, you don't really like me, do you?"
Suddenly, Chen's face darkened, and he tightened his hands a little more. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dear doctor, please don't substitute the plot of the sitcom into reality. How can I like you? Don't think too much about it!"
Zhou Jinru breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it, I'm relieved."
When he finished saying this, the hand holding his collar loosened, Chen turned around, and there was no emotion in his tone: "Okay, that's all for now, the doctor should still say If there’s anything else, I won’t bother you.”
Chen walked away so fast that Zhou Jinru didn't even have time to say more to her. Xing Xiong, who was sitting aside watching the show, suddenly sighed, got up and left.
Not only Xingxiong, but also the long-pink-haired Ambiel lost interest and left quickly, making Zhou Jinru think that he had said something wrong.
Wei Na, who was sitting at the small table on the second floor, watched this scene and chuckled: "Grace, do you think our doctor is really stupid, or is he a master of acting?"
Breeze, wearing a Victorian-style maid outfit, said thoughtfully: "Maybe both?"
"Of course, he is a master at pretending to be confused."
Wei Na took a sip of hot coffee and asked again: "How is that big star?"
"Indra is tracing, but her attention is on the old woman who lost her child that the doctor asked Isabella to find. Maybe there will be some clues."
The lion nodded: "Then let's do this for now. No matter what we find out, we will hand over the information as soon as possible."
"Don't worry Veena, Indra is a professional at this and she won't mess it up."
Zhou Jinru didn't know about these conversations on the second floor. He had nothing to do today, so he planned to go out for a stroll. He stood at the door of the lobby and shouted: "Does anyone want to go shopping?"
However, the only person who responded to him was Matomaru, who had a high ponytail, and everyone else looked uninterested.
"Doctor, let's go shopping then."
Matomaru didn't care what other people thought. Going out with the doctor made her feel extremely good.
"Just the two of us."
Zhou Jinru took Matomaru out. As soon as he left, Hongdou, who had been silent, quietly got together with Grani, and they started their conspiracy.
Of course, they are not trying to overthrow Zhou Jinru, nor are they trying to overthrow the top leaders of Rhode Island, but...
"Grani, Miss Ambiel has finished her reconnaissance. The doctor left the hotel last night and went to an apartment building in the downtown area. This is the map and the route."
Grani bit her lower lip and hesitated: "Is it really good for us to follow the doctor like this and inquire into his privacy?"
Hongdou said firmly: "Only Zhou's secret is known to him. Maybe Dr. Kelsey also knows it, but it does not include Amiya. If he really wants to hide something, we will never be able to find any clue."
"But……"
"No but, we still have allies."
ally?
Grani raised his head, and at some point, Superintendent Longmen, who had walked away, came back. The fortune teller holding the crystal ball was covering his mouth and smiling softly. Even Gavel had an "I'm very curious" expression on his face.
Susuluo, who was hiding in the crowd, whispered: "Does it really not matter if we are like this?"
"Don't worry, so many of us are caring about the doctor, he will definitely be very touched."
Vina on the second floor looked at the operators gradually gathering below and said nothing.
"Vina, do we also want to participate?"
Wei Na shook her head: "No, we will not participate. Even if the doctor is hiding in the golden house outside, that is his freedom. Even if they can find out any results, it will only satisfy the curiosity of some people and will not help the entire situation. .”
Breeze's expression is a bit weird. If the doctor is compared to a battlefield, then Wei Na has entered the state now. She knows when to attack, when to avoid fighting, and patiently waits for the decisive moment to arrive. .
…
…
"Two of these."
Zhou Jinru stood in front of the Victoria specialty food stall, took two soft sandwich breads, and handed one to Matomaru. He only took one bite and then put it down.
Matomaru also followed suit and took a bite. Suddenly his eyes were filled with stars and he shouted, "How could there be such a sweet thing?!"
Zhou Jinru looked at the product names and thought to himself that he was stupid. He was just buying things without looking carefully. The buns they ate were called macarons, and they were so sweet that they exploded.
"I don't like sweets. It's a pity. If Amiya were here, I could ask her to help eliminate them."
Matomaru stared at the macaron he took a bite of, frowned and said, "Even Miss Amiya will not eat what the doctor has eaten."
"Probably, boss, two cups of coffee with milk, no sugar."
The two of them each took a sip from a cup of steaming coffee before they came to their senses. After this incident, Matomaru no longer dared to touch macarons, and would rather drink bitter coffee than touch it.
Zhou Jinru looked around and found that there was actually a Yanguo person opening a shop here, so he walked over with Matang Wan.
Walking into the store, there were various condiments placed on the table in front of the store, and strings of vegetables and meats were placed in the grids on the other side. Zhou Jinru glanced at it and looked inside. There were not many diners. , there are still a few tables empty.
"Matomaru, have you ever eaten this?"
"what are these?"
Zhou Jinru said with a smile: "These things are called Malatang in my hometown."
Matomaru seemed to be frightened: "Is it spicy?"
“It’s actually not too spicy, it depends on the combination of seasonings.”
He pointed at the three rows of seasonings, and there were more than twenty kinds. People like Matomaru who were exposed to it for the first time would find it particularly complicated. In fact, there are only five or six types that are really suitable for the public. As long as they are not pursuing excitement, they are basically Everyone can enjoy a good meal.
"Let's find a seat and sit down."
The waiter at the door said respectfully: "Are there two sirs in total?"
Zhou Jinru nodded and followed the waiter inside. The two of them sat at a table. Just like what he had experienced, a pot with soup was brought up, placed on the induction cooker, and started to heat.
"I'm going to mix the seasoning. Do you come with me, or should I help you make it?"
"I……"
Before Matomaru had time to make a choice, he saw a cute little head peeking out from the private room next door: "Hey, is it the doctor from Rhode Island?"
Zhou Jinru looked up and saw that he knew this girl and had met her once before.
"Pigeon ball?"
"Hey, yes, yes, do you guys come to eat spicy hotpot too?"
The next second, a second face appeared in Zhou Jinru's field of vision: "What a coincidence. Hello, Doctor from Rhode Island."
Sure enough, where there are pigeon balls, there is Wei Jin. The man quickly looked away, looked left and right, and whispered: "Doctor, didn't the old ranger follow you?"
Zhou Jinru's face darkened: "Wei Jin, you have been complained by the ranger. After research, we have decided to ban you from meeting alone."
"Oh, isn't this bad..."
Pigeon Ball was very positive: "How about we have a table together?"
"Is it appropriate?"
"fine."
"What do you think Matomaru?"
"I listen to the doctor."
Zhou Jinru followed the good example and immediately moved a chair to sit with the people from the Valletta Society.
Soon, the soup in the pot boiled and bubbled. Strings of vegetables and meat were poured into the water, and then turned into food in the bowls for four people.
"I didn't expect to meet you here. How have you been playing these past few days?"
The first person to speak was Zhou Jinru, who felt that he had to play this role.
When Pigeon Ball talked about how the game went, he immediately became discouraged: "Don't mention it, we finally found a target and let her run away."
