Chapter 044 Modern Society 5
"It's right here. Put your luggage in first. We'll take your fingerprints and give you a key in case you need it."
After work, Xie Yunsui took Lin Xiran home.
There is a subway entrance near the school, and it is only a two-minute walk from the Shire Tea Shop. After two stops, you will arrive at the subway entrance in front of Yuting Apartment.
Xie Yunsui's residence was very close to the gate, about two or three minutes' walk away.
It only took Lin Xiran fifteen minutes from the time he got off work to the time he got home, and he waited for the subway for another five minutes.
Isn’t this too good to be true?
Lin Xiran walked in and was even more amazed when he saw the interior environment.
The living room is very spacious, with not much furniture. It looks clean and tidy. This living room alone is bigger than the old and shabby one-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom apartment that Lin Xiran saw.
If it weren't for the need to maintain his image in front of the shop owner, Lin Xiran would have almost covered his chest and worshipped the gods and Buddhas of the four directions. This was truly the result of three lifetimes of cultivation. How could he have been so worthy as to rent a house like this without paying any money...
Xie Yunsui introduced his master bedroom, the guest bedroom next to it, and the third room which was an extra-large study.
Lin Xiran pushed his suitcase directly to the guest bedroom.
Xie Yunsui took the menu to the kitchen: "Sweet and sour pork ribs and spicy chicken for dinner? Do you want anything else?"
"No thanks!" Lin Xiran answered subconsciously, then hurried out: "How about I cook?"
Lin Xiran felt really bad for letting him live in such a house and having the owner cook for him personally. He wanted to give up his salary and give some money to Xie Yunsui instead.
Seeing his uneasy expression, Xie Yunsui laughed and said, "How about this? Let's just treat us as roommates. I'll cook and you'll wash the dishes. Also, you and I will share responsibility for all the housework. How about that?"
Lin Xiran: "Okay!"
Having said that, Lin Xiran still helped out by washing and cutting vegetables.
"I still want to say thank you for what happened today." Lin Xiran said while breaking vegetable leaves.
"What are you thanking me for?" Xie Yunsui was puzzled.
"Help me out. I know he's targeting me." Lin Xiran smiled. "If I were in another milk tea shop, the boss would definitely ask me to go directly, or he would just refuse me out of fear of trouble."
Xie Yunsui said calmly, "We have signed a contract, and I must protect my employees."
That's why Lin Xiran felt that Xie Yunsui must be a good person, so she dared to go home with him.
Lin Xiran smiled and said, "Actually, I was fed up with He Yiming's harassment. I was originally thinking about earning more money and moving out of school. After I posted that circle of friends, a bar owner asked me to be a waiter. If you had come a day later, maybe I would have agreed."
Even though I knew the water was deep, I always thought about whether I could escape unscathed.
Just work part-time for a few days and leave when you earn enough money.
Xie Yunsui paused, then wiped his hands and said, "I'm going back to my room to look at something. Wait for me for a moment."
Lin Xiran didn't understand what was going on and just replied "Oh" blankly.
Xie Yunsui returned to the room, closed the door, and went straight into the Wanjie Shop.
The white wall displays the life story of his "defeated opponent" He Yiming.
She comes from a wealthy family and has had a smooth life since childhood. She likes to be praised by others. She has been changing girlfriends like clothes since junior high school. After high school, she started dating younger boys. However, because she is generous and good-looking, all her exes had no complaints after they cheated on her and broke up with her.
During the summer vacation, He Yiming saw Lin Xiran's photo from somewhere and started to inquire about Lin Xiran's information. When he learned that Lin Xiran was also a student at Donghua University, he became interested. Because he had high standards, he made a bet with his friends that he would get him within a month.
But Lin Xiran never agreed to his request. He Yiming appeared to be very generous on the surface, but he was actually already dissatisfied in his heart.
The image on the white wall flashed, showing the original direction of this world without Xie Yunsui.
In order to escape He Yiming, Lin Xiran wanted to rent a house and agreed to work part-time in a bar.
After He Yiming learned the news, he went to the bar where he worked part-time, waved a lot of money to move aside several bottles of high-concentration liquor, and specifically asked Lin Xiran to drink with him.
The bar owner naturally would not offend the guests for the sake of his part-time waiter. Lin Xiran drank so much that he suffered from alcohol poisoning and closed his eyes forever before he was sent to the hospital.
Xie Yunsui saw it clearly. If it weren't for a kind-hearted colleague who couldn't bear to see it and insisted on sending the unconscious Lin Xiran to the hospital, He Yiming and his group would have wanted to do something even more disgusting.
Even so, He Yiming wanted to take Lin Xiran's life.
What’s hateful is that because the He family is rich and powerful, Lin Xiran left quietly in the end, without even a report.
The instigator, He Yiming, is still at large and living a carefree life.
Xie Yunsui's fists hardened, and he closed his eyes to suppress his momentary murderous intent.
This country is a peaceful society and killing is against the law.
Xie Yunsui calmed down for a moment and looked at the little bee.
After living a free life in the previous world, the little bee is no longer a simple shop waiter. It stands at attention, flashing its laser eyes and venomous tail sting to show that it is always ready.
"That would be too easy for him." Xie Yunsui smiled. "Doesn't he like to be in the spotlight? Let him lose his reputation, leave no one to protect him, and pass away quietly."
He asked the little bee to stare at He Yiming and record his every word, action and gesture.
When I go out again, I have already made up my mind.
Lin Xiran was not idle. While Xie Yunsui was away, he had already simply stir-fried the cabbage.
Xie Yunsui looked at his busy figure, which almost overlapped with the person in his memory.
The same soul, the same life trajectory, if no one intervenes, will pass away quietly at the best age of life.
It's like a piece of insignificant data, just delete it.
Xie Yunsui suddenly remembered an online novel he had accidentally read some time ago, "The Passerby Cannon Fodder Role Playing System", in which the characters traveled through various worlds and played insignificant roles. Death was also a part of the role, and after death, they would rush to the next world.
Theodore, Lin Xiran, are they unconscious actors?
Xie Yunsui asked with his consciousness, "Xiao Wan, besides the shop owner you're bound to, is there anyone else who can travel through 84,000 small worlds?"
[Insufficient authority, unable to answer. ]
It's impossible to answer, not that there is no answer.
Xie Yunsui smiled.
Lin Xiran turned around, noticed Xie Yunsui, and smiled as well: "Did you receive any good news?"
Xie Yunsui stepped forward and said, "Well, this is very good news."
-
At night, Lin Xiran lay on the soft 1.8-meter-long bed and could roll over a few times without worrying about hitting the bed rails.
I couldn't calm down when I thought about living with the store owner.
A message alert sounded from the phone next to me.
Ji Tao: How are you? Are you still alive?
Lin Xiran glanced at the message and typed: An Zai.
Then I took a panoramic photo of the interior and sent it to him.
Ji Tao: Holy crap! Holy crap! It’s so big! And it even has air conditioning!
Ji Tao: Is there internet?
Lin Xiran: Super fast internet speed
Ji Tao: This is my dream house! You are so lucky to have found this house. You are a really rich shop owner.
Ji Tao: How embarrassed are you that Damao is about the little house with a wasteland style of a pure prison that he rented for 2,800 yuan?
Damao was their other roommate. He moved out in his sophomore year. At that time, Lin Xiran and Ji Tao helped him move his things. When they moved in and saw the house, no one dared to speak.
Ji Tao: Seeing that you live so comfortably, I feel at ease to hand you over to him.
Now that I have vacated the dormitory, I no longer have to worry about disturbing my roommates by staying up late at night playing games or chatting on the phone with my girlfriend.
Lin Xiran exchanged a few words with him, and then saw the forum link sent by Ji Tao.
Ji Tao: This football match post has become popular, and your store owner has also been exposed. Tomorrow is Saturday, and I guess a lot of people will go to check in to see your boss.
Lin Xiran quickly clicked into the forum. Needless to say, posts about football matches were at the top of the list, and there were also many posts below asking who Xie Yunsui was.
There was a post with a lot of replies. I clicked on it and sure enough, the top picture was a photo of Xie Yunsui making sparkling drinks at the Shire Tea Shop.
[Ah! Shire Tea Shop, I think I saw it on trending searches!]
[I've seen it too. Aren't they talking about some rich second generation driving it for fun?]
[What's trending? Opening a milk tea shop?]
[It's right in front of the school, ladies! It's been officially open for a few days!]
[I don’t know, I can’t seem to find any takeout.]
[They don't offer takeout. I've visited this place before in other cities, and the owner is incredibly capricious. Not only does they not offer takeout, they only have one drink, open at noon, and close early in the afternoon. Their main goal is to be as casual as you want, buy whatever you want.]
[For the benefit of all the sisters, I have brought here all the amazing pictures uploaded by the sisters on the trending search!]
[Wow! What a handsome guy! Is his face so stunning? Is this really not a promotional photo of a celebrity?]
[What's wrong with him being a little willful since he looks like this!]
[This is trending? It's probably paid marketing. How can a shop with only one drink be successful? Is the owner a money launderer or a gigolo?]
[Is the mouth above a toilet?]
[It must be some guy who's showing off his presence.]
…
Lin Xiran also clicked the report button, then saved all the amazing pictures in the forum, admired them for a while, and then continued to read everyone's discussion.
This post was very popular, and there were many replies as soon as it was refreshed. Suddenly, Lin Xiran's gaze froze.
[Do you think the shop owners in the first three cities have a sense of transcendence?]
[Finally, someone understands me. I have to say this, but the more I look at this, the more I feel like the owner has a widower vibe...]
[Wow, I'm not the only one who feels this way! Beauty is universal, so I found someone who shares my feelings.]
[What are you talking about upstairs?]
[Ahem, I'd like to clarify that I have absolutely no intention of cursing the owner. The widower vibe is just a vibe, and you'll understand if you know it!]
Lin Xiran sat up and returned to the album to look at the magical pictures. After looking at several of them, he seemed to have some idea.
The expressions of the people in the picture are always dull, and there is a sense of emptiness.
It’s like my wife just died. I’m indulging in the sadness of her passing, but then having to cheer myself up and work hard to live and work. It’s a wonderful atmosphere.
Lin Xiran: Ah?
This is different from the shop owner he knows.
