Chapter 38
Last night was a warm spring night and nothing happened.
The next day, Zhan Mu, who was slurping noodles in a small noodle shop, was still unsatisfied. He stared at Lu Chao, who was watching the pancakes at a roadside stall not far away, with a jealous expression on his face.
——Is he not awesome? He kept refusing me last night. What about my sexual happiness?
Zhan Mu was thinking in a mess.
Although our comrade Lu Chao was not hungry, he still retained his human appetite. Since he was made of fluid and had no taste buds, he could only look but not eat.
Lu Chao looked resentful and kept sighing as he stared at the chicken fillet.
The alleys were narrow and filled with the flavor of old streets from the last century. After eating and paying the bill, Zhan Mu looked at the surrounding shops and began to think about what he should do to make a fortune.
Catering? Too dirty and cumbersome. Takeout? The platform takes too much of a cut. Teahouses? That's too much for an old man's wallet. Logistics? It's not like I don't understand it, but the costs are too high. Clothing? Zhan Mu doesn't know where to get it.
"Hey, what are you worried about?" Lu Chao came over and waved him, "No way, I'm not eating your food or using your things, why do you have such a cold face all day long?"
"I'm anxious. I have to maintain a normal life. I'm thinking of finding a house to rent in town, and then doing something to make a living and have a sustainable income." Zhan Mu fell into deep annoyance.
"What about what An Jing mentioned?" Lu Chao asked in a good voice.
"As for him, haha, he treated me to hot pot yesterday, and his colleague gave me such a glare, it was just ridiculous, he did it on purpose." Zhan Mu laughed strangely and said, "I finally understand. Who among the outsiders would be happy that you are doing better than him?"
"At least I'm treating you to hotpot." Lu Chao said.
"I'm convinced." Zhan Mu glanced away from him, then said with a sarcastic, mocking tone, "Hey, he's worthy of being the son of an official. Even if he's down and out, he's still bigger than a horse. Didn't he say he was half Puyi from a foreign country? How can he still be so arrogant?"
Lu Chao looked at him quietly like a good girl.
"Damn it, if you don't have power, you're worse than a dog." Zhan Mu took out a pack of cigarettes, lit it up, took a puff to relieve his sorrow, and said, "No, no, if you don't have power, even a dog will come and step on you."
"What have you been through? Why are you suddenly feeling so sentimental?" Lu Chao seemed to be a little disgusted with his mercenary face, which was completely different from the shy and innocent boy he first met.
"You've changed..." Lu Chao looked a little unhappy.
In fact, people really do change. The more they are slapped in the face by society, the more likely they are to become devastated, depressed, or suicidal, or like Zhan Mu, become cold, sarcastic, or even mean, always considering profit as the first priority and becoming a pure-blooded careerist.
Zhan Mu pouted, rolling his eyes in anger in his heart, but on the surface he was neither laughing nor crying. He said, "You don't understand, buddy. I was completely forced into this. Just think about my situation. I'm just a poor college student with no parents and no education..."
"It's mainly because I don't have money, really. A few dollars, a few thousand, or even tens of thousands of dollars isn't considered money; only millions count. Also, the living environment is so harsh. It's already hard to stay positive, and I have to spare the energy to argue and fight with my parents. Isn't that what I want? Do I enjoy it?"
You really have high expectations but low skills, Lu Chao thought.
Zhan Mu clicked his tongue and noticed the disdainful look on Lu Chao's face.
"Brother Zhan, just be your true self." Zhan Mu switched to his rogue mode again and snorted coldly, "If you're not happy with this, then bye."
Lu Chao widened his eyes, shocked and speechless, looking at Zhan Mu's free-spirited back with his hands in his pockets and a cigarette in his mouth. This is so intimidating, so damn difficult to get along with!
"You, can't you just change yourself?" Lu Chao felt inexplicably aggrieved, but also excited. He rushed forward and pulled his arm, just like a young couple about to quarrel on the street.
"Zhan Mu, you don't admit it, but I can see that you have a really strong personality. No matter what your parents say, they won't harm you. Go back and apologize, admit your mistakes, or go home. The economy is in decline now, and every industry is struggling. Renting a house outside all the time is not a solution. You..."
Lu Chao became a good student again, determined to persuade the rebellious Zhan to return to his old ways.
"..." Zhan Mu looked at him with resentment, too lazy to waste time debating with him. He took a deep breath and said, "Come back, baby. I feel like you're a little out of energy. Turn into a cube and go back to sleep, okay?"
"You are an idiot!" Lu Chao slapped him on the head.
-
It was lunch time again. The lazy Zhan Mu strolled around for the whole morning and watched several commercials. In the end, he decided not to work in a factory as a slave, so he simply found a rental house and started tinkering with his food broadcasting and game up industry again.
"Can you cook fish?" Zhan Mu asked Lu Chao, who was folding quilts in the room. He looked like a virtuous husband, and the loving motherly gestures exuded the scent of love.
"No, my hands will melt if they come into contact with high temperatures." Lu Chao was intoxicated and admired his fingertips in the light.
"You are so gay and yet you say you are homophobic..." Zhan Mu muttered in a low voice, very impatient, but continued to perform a caesarean section on the fish, intending to get a Sichuan pepper fish.
"How about it? Let's do a live broadcast to sell homosexuality. Now is the era of entertainment to death. It's not shameful to make money." Zhan Mu said in a flattering and gentle tone, looking at the young master Lu who was doing nothing and bored over there.
Lu Chao shook his head and said, "No, I am a man of integrity. Such behavior of lowering one's status is not in line with my character."
Zhan Mu thrust the fruit knife into the dead fish, making a loud noise! He tutted, "We've already kissed and kissed each other, and now you're being so pretentious with me again?"
The sound was particularly like that of an impotent rage, which scared Lu Chao. He asked, "Are you a domestic violence man? You're so jumpy."
"...I just want to scare you." Zhan Mu's tone suddenly softened.
In fact, the initiative is in Lu Chao's hands. He is a fluid mannequin. If Zhan Muzhen beats Lu Chao at home and loses his money, Lu Chao can just turn into a cube and hide in the game and never have any contact with him again. He will not suffer any loss.
"I just realized you're such an idiot." Lu Chao suddenly stood up, snatched the small paring knife from Zhan Mu's hand, and asked, "Why don't you buy a kitchen knife to kill fish?"
As he spoke, he skillfully scaled the fish, cut open its belly and removed the internal organs, and then used a paring knife to cut the meat into strips.
Zhan Mu felt very warmed seeing this. It feels so good to have a husband cooking for her.
Another person appeared in the video of Master Zhan, who is loved by some unknown food broadcast account. He is very handsome, a little familiar, and his appearance is much more refined than his, like Lu Chao in Desperate Situation.
A harmonious family brings prosperity: Wow wow wow it’s Lu Chao it’s Lu Chao!!
Where is the handsome guy, where is the handsome guy: I knew that Zhu Bo and Lu Chao were having an affair, I was there last time.
Master Zhan saw the crazy comments in the live broadcast room, laughed awkwardly, and said: "Chao Chao, you are really popular."
Lu Chao laughed: "Friends, don't be fooled. I am not Lu Chao. I just look like Lu Chao. Really."
There was a burst of hahaha in the barrage, but no one took it seriously. Due to the widespread use of cyber data people, many buyers would pinch their favorite faces after purchasing fluids online.
Big Stomach: The master is really rich. Look at the material of his doll, it must be the fluid of BH company. Can't he make so much money with only 20,000 fans?
Crazy me: I can’t tell from the video, it should not be more than 500,000. Oh, people who can play the game of Desperate Situation have good family backgrounds, and one fluid can be used to make many faces.
yayayaya: Long time no see, anchor. Have you stopped playing games and become a food streamer instead?
Lu Chao answered for Zhan Mu and nodded twice.
Zhan Mu asked, "By the way, are there other anchors using Lu Chao's face for live broadcasts?"
Having said that, Lu Chao also leaned over, very intimately, with his chin resting on Zhan Mu's shoulder, half of his face almost rubbing against his ear.
oioioi Hakimi: Damn, there is Sichuan Opera?
Leg Hairy Duoduo: No, I follow you just to see the food, how did you get into Sichuan Opera? Unfollowed, bye.
Lu Chao's number one fan: Yes, there is a fitness blogger named 'Mi Lao Shi yyds' who bought a doll with Lu Chao's face replaced. He is so funny all the time. He is so ooc that I can't bear to watch him even though I follow him.
Geese, geese, geese: Master Zhan, the Lu Chao you sculpted looks very smart, and he doesn’t have the feeling of a man who has been baptized by society at all.
I am Lu Chao’s dog: Indeed, I have also paid attention to it. His pectoral muscles are so huge that I am shocked. I didn’t expect that cyber data people would have such a strong smell of worldly affairs after being around them for a long time. Hahahaha, it made me laugh to death.
"Really? So bad." Lu Chao said softly, while lazily tilting his head and hanging on Zhan Mu's shoulder. Zhan Mu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, thinking to himself, "Green Tea Boy, he obviously knows how to sell homosexuality better than I thought."
Come on, Lu Xiaokui: Holy crap, this Lu Chao is really smart, his eyes don’t look like AI at all, they look real, my god, how did he do that?
Hello Mr. Wang: Let me try Marxist philosophy.
White socks: I’m coming too, technological revolution, mechanized production, Nobel Prize in Mathematics, World War III, trade war, □□, cross-strait relations.
I'm training my electronic pet here.
Lu Chao remained motionless, even rolling his eyes. He said, "There's no Nobel Prize in mathematics. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Brother Jie, please don’t do that: Oh my God, is this still AI?
oioioi Hakimi: I understand. I've been possessed. Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!
Zhan Mu also suddenly covered his mouth and whispered in his ear, "Pretend a little, pretend a little, or people will treat you as a national treasure and it will be troublesome."
Lu Chao then shut up and glared at him with resentful eyes, so vivid that his energy made netizens laugh.
yayayaya: I laughed to death and couldn't tell for a moment whether it was real or acting.
I am Lu Chao’s dog: Who is the data man? Hahaha, Lord, if you are kidnapped, just blink.
Everyone in the barrage was making memes without thinking much about it. Zhan Mu realized that the IQ of this generation of netizens was worrying, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he became a little famous, and many big brothers gave him gifts. Without exception, they were all about his cyber data man, making Lu Chao speak in a dance and even playfully speak.
Zhan Mu played it safe and said that the baby had run out of battery so he let him go back to rest. He expressed his gratitude to the older brothers and sisters, and promised that he would continue sharing food videos, and then hurriedly ended the broadcast.
After finishing the job, Lu Chaozhong heaved a sigh of relief, then said dryly, "If you really ask me to win over your older brothers and sisters, I will definitely turn against you on the spot."
"Uh..." Zhan Mu found that he really had a heavy moral burden. He was indeed a young master from a scholarly family, but he felt ashamed even for such a small act of homosexuality.
Zhan Mu quietly complained: This guy is the real Kong Yiji.
