Zhou Jinru was still in the middle of the night when he woke up from the bed. His mind was groggy. He poured himself a glass of warm water and drank it in one gulp. He held his hand on the wall and took a few breaths. The side effects of escaping from the dream in a conscious state made him dizzy. Still feeling a little nauseous.
"Ming Yuexin, what did I want to do before I lay on the bed?"
The terminal placed next to the pillow emits a faint light and emits an emotionless synthesized voice: "Doctor, you want to take a bath."
So that's it.
Zhou Jinru was slightly awake and looked up at the ceiling. In the first half of the night, he wanted to take a bath and then rest. Unexpectedly, he fell into a half-dream as soon as he lay in bed. What followed was a series of events, leaving him no time to breathe.
Walking into the bathroom, he turned on the faucet, and the cool water flowed from his fingers. Zhou Jinru took some cold water and slapped it on his face. The liquid fell from his face. He lowered his head, opened his eyes, and stared at the water outlet in trance.
After a long time, Zhou Jinru came out of the bathroom and prepared his clothes. Just when he was about to enter the shower room, the black cat that was lying on the desk stood up and carefully observed his every move.
"Ma'am, I think you should step aside now."
Zhou Jinru casually closed the door curtain. He didn't want to have a live broadcast in front of others.
…
…
On a quiet cliff, a large sea of clouds stretches as far as the eye can see, and the breeze blows on your face, soft and warm, without any chill.
Chen looked at his white-haired old man, who was wearing a crane cloak and sighed: "Chen Huijie, there are two ways before you, to become a hero who serves the country and the people, or to become a giant like your uncle."
"it's the only way?"
"The world is safe and sound."
Chen was silent. Her hesitation surprised the white-haired old man, and asked again: "Isn't this what you want?"
"I……"
Suddenly, the whole world was still shaking violently and rhythmically. Chen was unsteady and fell towards the edge of the cliff. She desperately stretched out her hands to grab something, but couldn't grasp anything. Her body fell straight down. Falling into the sea of clouds.
"..."
"List……"
"Chen Chen! Chen Chen!"
An anxious voice came to her ears, and Chen was in a trance. Everything that happened in the dream gradually faded away. She remembered nothing. When she opened her eyes, she saw her classmate in pajamas grabbing her clothes and shaking them desperately. , I didn’t even notice that my clothes were buttoned open.
Chen covered his chest with one hand and pushed his old classmate away with the other. He glanced at his watch and said in a bad tone: "Miss, what time is it now?"
"It's two-thirty in the morning, don't worry about this."
Chen glanced at the anxious girl Vaifan, sat up from the bed, buttoned up her pajamas slowly, and asked casually: "What happened? The Gallic rebels came in?"
"No, those Gauls are good at art and romance, not fighting."
"So the Victoria royal family had internal strife and was overthrown?"
"No, Chen Chen, these are not the point!"
Chen held his forehead and felt that his hand was very cold. He couldn't help but put it into the warmest part of the quilt and hummed comfortably.
"That means a natural disaster is coming. Are you telling me to get up and run away as soon as possible?"
Miss Vaifan looked at her old classmate in surprise. She remembered that Chen was not so lazy. How could he change his personality after a while?
"Chen Chen, I got into trouble."
Bagpipe's eyes were red, and he knelt down beside Chen's bed, leaning on her quilt. His shoulders were twitching, as if he was crying.
Of course, Chen, who was familiar with the character of his old classmate, would not easily believe her fake moves, and hummed, "Get off, you've hit my tail."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Bagpipe moved another position, and this time she looked at Chen helplessly, making the other person upset, as if he had done something sorry for her.
A few minutes later, Chen's anger after getting up had subsided a little, and he suffered from an occupational disease. He asked, "Tell me first, what's going on? Why did you get into trouble?"
Bagpipe quickly recounted what happened in the sitcom, and then secretly observed Chen's face. Unfortunately, the former director of the Guards Bureau had already developed an invulnerable face, so he didn't notice anything.
Chen crossed his arms, pondered for a moment, and sighed: "My boss is a very narrow-minded person, as I said before."
Bagpipe nodded quickly.
"Although he is petty-minded, he is not a person who always takes revenge. The fact that you beat him only happened in a sitcom. It was a character's choice and has nothing to do with you. Don't worry, he won't care about it."
"Then I'm relieved." Bagpipe breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed Chen's hand and said pitifully, "Chen Chen, I don't want to go back, let me squeeze in, just like in school .”
Chen originally wanted to refuse. Since graduation, she rarely slept with others, but then she thought that it was her old classmate, not an outsider, so she reluctantly agreed.
"Yes, yes, but you are not allowed to snatch my quilt."
"Absolutely not."
…
…
Zhou Jinru was steaming all over. When he walked out of the shower room, the black cat on the desk only moved its tail to show that he was not asleep. In addition, it made no other movements.
It was three o'clock in the morning, and Zhou Jinru was sitting by the bed, holding a terminal in his hand and his eyes flickering.
In reality, Ming Yuexin is really just a subsystem, a piece of code, but after entering the sitcom, she becomes a living person, with memories, emotions, and knows many things that no one knows today.
"The real problem is not with the terminal, but with the melodrama, or the platform on which the melodrama is built."
"In the world of Terra, which has not even developed rocket technology, how much computing power is needed to build a melodrama with complete physical rules?"
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Jinru felt that he still had to ask Kelxi or Kelu Xier about this matter. However, asking two people may not necessarily get the answer he wanted. The former could split one sentence into ten sentences, and Che Luan talked back and forth. Said, playing the Riddler all day long, the latter only has interests in his eyes, and if he asks a few questions, he will bleed a lot.
How about asking Ming Yue Xin in the sitcom?
After thinking about it, Zhou Jinru still felt that she was more reliable and much better than the two elders of Rhode Island.
"Forget it, I don't want to anymore."
He couldn't sleep for a while, so he went out to look for food. When passing by the canteen, he accidentally bumped into Ansel.
"Oh, it's the Doctor."
Ansel covered his forehead and got up from the ground with difficulty.
Due to his height, Ansel just bumped into Zhou Jinru's chest. He didn't feel anything. He pulled the strong man up and the two of them walked to the cafeteria together.
"Are you still used to Victoria's food?"
Ansel shook his head: "To be honest, I'm not used to it."
Zhou Jinru was convinced, but he was not used to it. It was either fried fish or fried potatoes, and the sponge cake was so sweet that it was usually either boiled or fried.
He asked curiously: "Then what are you going to eat? Eat whatever you find?"
Ansel's shoulders slumped, his smart eyes lost their luster, and he said in despair: "It depends on the situation."
Zhou Jinru couldn't bear it and volunteered, "I'll see what's in the kitchen and I'll make you something. It might have to wait."
Although Jiao Feng is here, it may not be appropriate to ask Jiao Feng to help with cooking at this time.
On the one hand, Zhou Jinru didn't want to trouble Jiao Feng too much, and on the other hand, he didn't want to provoke Yin Hui too much, especially since they had just completed an unharmonious conversation a few hours ago.
Entering the kitchen, Zhou Jinru put on an apron, rubbed his hands, and began to rummage through the cabinets for seasonings and available ingredients. Fortunately, the service attitude of this hotel is excellent. There is a little bit of everything in the large freezer. In order to cater to guests from all over the world, the seasonings are also quite good. Everything was ready, and this gave Zhou Jinru a chance to show off his skills.
He was busy in the kitchen, cutting ingredients and boiling water. He even used subjective time delay in order to save time. When he turned around, he saw a dozen operators sitting there waiting for the food to be served, and even There are also operators who walked into the cafeteria rubbing their eyes...
"What time is it and you all got up so early?!"
Zhou Jinru almost threw away his spoon, and deeply understood what Jiao Feng felt in the kitchen every day. Fortunately, Feng Tie men upheld the race's good character of hard work and hard work, and the wages offered by Rhode Island were also very high, so that the canteen can operate normally.
"I want a raise, and I want to find more cooks."
Such thoughts lingered in Zhou Jinru's mind, and he didn't walk out of the kitchen until Jiao Feng appeared in an apron.
Wei Na, who had eaten and drank enough, narrowed her eyes, swung her tail with satisfaction, grabbed Zhou Jinru who was passing by, and the two held hands and left the canteen.
"How is the taste?"
"thanks for treatment."
There was a smile in the lion's eyes: "You look very haggard."
When talking about this, Zhou Jinru sighed: "I am responsible for breakfast for at least thirty people. Fortunately, they don't have too many demands."
And he hasn't had time to eat yet.
Zhou Jinru noticed that Wei Na came to the canteen alone, and the breeze following her was nowhere to be seen.
Vina saw the man's thoughts: "Grace went to find Indra. They came back at noon. This time they made quite a fuss. The Glasgow Gang is preparing to abandon the city."
The commotion that Wei Na mentioned was the follow-up to Silver Ash's raid on Deep Pond. Now that the window paper had been pierced, the Victoria authorities would naturally not tolerate an extremely rebellious organization entrenched in the city, and immediately began a secret cleanup. Some gangs were unable to withstand the high pressure and had no choice but to flee Londinium.
"There are more organizations with a high degree of rebellion than just deep pools. To clear one, you have to clear a bunch of them."
At this point, Zhou Jinru stopped decisively. This was Wei Na's country and he couldn't say too much.
Vina glanced at her. After putting on her hood, the two of them walked out of the hotel door. With their fingers intertwined, the lion suddenly said: "Mr. Silver Gray has made arrangements. I will go to the Quiet Church in the Western District tomorrow."
"I'll go with you. I have a lot of time tomorrow."
"Can you be more positive?"
Zhou Jinru rolled up his sleeves and looked around, seemingly looking for something.
His movements aroused Wei Na's curiosity: "What are you looking for?"
"I'm going to find a jewelry store and buy a ring now."
Wei Na's expression froze, then she kicked him lightly and feigned anger: "Are you willing to give up so many girlfriends?"
"I can't bear to do it, hey~ stop it, let go, I'm hurt."
Zhui Jie's hand was so strong that Zhou Jinru's expression suddenly changed and he quickly begged for mercy.
Wei Na snorted: "I have no effort at all!"
Regardless of whether the man is trying to please him or not, there is something as heavy as a stone weighing on her chest, making it difficult for Wei Na to breathe. Now that the two of them are alone, she finally has the opportunity to speak out.
"Aguang, have you ever thought about what Mrs. Leon said?"
Zhou Jinru nodded: "Shall we start a new family?"
"Yes," Wei Na nodded, "But if this happens, I will give up my pursuit of the throne."
"To be loyal to the country or to be loyal to oneself, this is indeed a huge problem. In my hometown, one sentence means that the world can have peace of mind and live up to the country and the minister."
Vina's tone gradually became fierce: "When Mrs. Leon said this, I was very happy because she could agree with you, and the obstacle between us was reduced by more than half, but I started to feel uneasy again because you are Rhodes Doctor of the island, there are so many people who like you, I can’t guarantee what will happen next. If we really start a family, my competitiveness in chasing the throne will be weakened a lot..."
The lion looked at Zhou Jinru with complicated eyes, a little longing and reluctance.
In the past, Zhou Jinru was a conservative person, and his personal emotional decisions tended to remain unchanged in response to changes. However, as time went by, this attitude could no longer cope with various emergencies.
He admits that he is not firm enough, and also admits that every girl is excellent, and he knows more clearly what will happen if he is too carefree.
"Vina, I do like you, but I can't leave Rhode Island alone."
The lion said nothing.
"If one day the sea is cleared and Rhode Island no longer wanders around, and there is no need to worry about the precarious situation, maybe I will be relieved of this burden. My Queen, please take me in."
The lion stared: "You also said you would open a barbecue restaurant in Longmen City, go to Siesta to apply sunscreen to female tourists, and open a bakery in Colombia, and now you are asking for admission?!"
"ah?"
Zhou Jinru was surprised: "Did I say this?"
He is a little messy, his memory has been confused recently, and he can't remember what he said before.
Wei Na took a deep breath and said in a serious tone: "Stay, or I will go with you."
Zhou Jinru did not answer directly: "You are not my vassal, and you cannot become my vassal. I can compromise, but you can't."
"I'm worried that if I choose a country, I won't be able to choose you again."
For a moment, Zhou Jinru felt as if a basin of cold water was poured from head to toe, and all the blood in his body rushed to his head. He hugged Wei Na tightly and refused to let go for a long time.
"Vina."
His voice was hoarse.
Wei Na raised her face and said softly: "This is just my worry. At least for now, this country has not chosen me."
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "Even if it chooses you, I will still come to you, believe me."
