Chapter 12 This is a new way to praise people
As soon as Lin Layue returned to the bar, Kevin, the waiter on duty, saw him.
"Hey, our new young master is back. What's going on? Why is he going back to the bar instead of having sex with a beautiful woman late at night?"
There was a sudden power outage tonight, and even though it came back online soon, many customers left the bar, so he was very relaxed.
Lin Layue ignored her, but Kevin came over and said, "I saw her yesterday. What a beautiful young girl. Her figure is much more interesting than that of an old lady. Hey, did you eat her? Did you enjoy it?"
Lin Layue walked straight to the dormitory without saying a word.
Seeing that he ignored him, Kevin curled his lips and thought to himself that he was just pretending.
We all work in the nightlife scene, so we all know each other's background. Why are we pretending? If we didn't have a good appearance, we might have a future. Otherwise, who would care about us, you country bumpkin?
"Kevin, have you heard about the Sun Zhuoran incident? What exactly happened?" Eric, another waiter on duty, excitedly asked Kevin for gossip.
Sun Zhuoran is a famous player in the bar. Because of his courage, good looks and sweet mouth, he is well-known in the industry and has many connections. Sometimes other nightclubs and even high-end clubs come to borrow him. He is currently the most profitable person in the bar.
It is said that he recently plans to turn over a new leaf, use the money he has saved to open a small shop to do some business, settle down and then get married and have children.
But I heard that he went wrong with his last deal and something went wrong, so many people are curious about what happened.
Kevin groaned, his tone somewhat regretful. "What else could it be? He's in the hospital."
Eric was surprised, "So serious?"
Kevin's face was filled with pain, "You know the four tools that rich women use to bully ducks, right? That's what he fell into."
Eric also wore a mask of pain.
The two looked at each other and saw fear in each other's eyes.
In this case, it's lucky that no one was killed.
"What magic weapon?" Lin Layue asked suddenly.
"Ah! Didn't you leave?" Kevin was startled by him, thinking he was sick, and said reluctantly: "Go ahead and search it. It's scary anyway. Whips and dripping wax are nothing compared to it."
Lin Layue frowned slightly, said thank you softly, turned and left.
Kevin snorted softly and whispered to Eric, "Do you think he came out this time or not? I don't think he did. He has no energy at all and looks like a dead man. Oh, could he have been...?"
Eric said vaguely: "I don't know, I'm not familiar with him..."
Lin Layue couldn't hear what was said next, but he could guess what the two would say next. It would be nothing more than words like "what's so cool about him?" and "what's so pretentious about him?" He was used to hearing that and didn't care.
The other roommate was probably out on an order, so the dormitory was quiet.
He walked into the dormitory without turning on the lights. He walked to his desk in the dim light from the street outside the window and sat down. He looked at the bottles and jars scattered around on the desk and became lost in thought.
After a while, he took out the cell phone hidden under the pillow.
It was a second-hand mobile phone for the elderly, which he bought before moving to the city, just to make it easier to contact his family.
He tried to search online what the artifact was, but after checking all the functions of the phone, he found that the phone could not access the Internet at all.
He thought for a while, then put his phone in his pocket and went out.
I went to an Internet cafe, spent 5 yuan to buy an hour, opened the browser, and slowly typed the questions using one finger.
"Four Artifacts for Abusing Ducks", "My Years as a Duck", "The Trembling 'Male Model'", "The Case of Killing a Cowherd Out of Love and Hate"...
Lin Layue read one article after another, some popular science and some self-narrative, and was shocked by the game world of seeking pleasure in prostitution on the computer to the point of being speechless. Her mentality also gradually changed from shock and rejection of "how can this be?" to numbness and sadness of "so this is how it is".
If he was only ignorant about this industry before and acted based on instinct, now he has learned about the cruelty and rules of this industry.
It is easy to get in but difficult to get out. After most people have passed those golden years, all that is left is a pile of duck feathers.
If you have bad luck, it is common to be left with psychological trauma, sequelae, or even lose your life.
Lin Layue sat stupidly in the chair, looking at the colorful content on the screen, and suddenly felt more confused than ever before.
The network administrator came over and knocked on his desk, "It's time."
Lin Layue walked out like a zombie, and the hot summer night wind blew in his face, as if he had just come out of a quagmire, and his whole body became sticky.
He walked aimlessly in the alley, with his head down, looking a little lonely.
He knew what he should choose, but he couldn't explain why he felt an indescribable heaviness in his heart.
A pair of familiar leather shoes appeared in front of him. He was suddenly awakened and looked up.
Gu Nan was standing in front of him, with sweat on her fair and beautiful face. When she saw him, she let out an almost inaudible sigh of relief, and her whole body seemed to relax a lot in an instant.
"Where have you been?"
Lin Layue looked at her, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Gu Nan felt a little guilty, and his voice was softer and lighter than usual. "I'm sorry, I'm not questioning you, I'm just a little worried... Are you okay?"
Lin Layue lowered her head and could clearly see the shoes on her feet in the dim old light.
These are the home slippers that Gu Nan bought for him. They are light blue, very soft and comfortable. The socks are snow-white, a color he has never tried before. The jeans are new, the shirt is also new, and the quality is very good, more comfortable than the work clothes issued by the bar. Looking at his entire body, every item was bought by Gu Nan.
She was undoubtedly good to him, considerate and not stingy. He was even somewhat grateful to her for never forcing him and for always being careful to preserve his dignity.
The hot ginger tea, the warm new clothes, the offered sofa, and the attitude without any contempt all made him feel the long-lost warmth and respect.
If there had been no whipping tonight, he might have lost himself in Gu Nan's gentle kiss.
He was a little disappointed at that moment, but when he was alone he realized that he was too greedy and had no right to be disappointed in Gu Nan.
At least compared to Sun Zhuoran who was played to the point of being hospitalized, or his colleagues who could only hang around in the booths and serve drinks and were molested by middle-aged women, he was really lucky.
He earns her money, enjoys her kindness, and gives her nothing in return, and even gives her a cold shoulder. What right does he have to do that?
Lin Layue sniffed, feeling that she had figured it out, raised her head, and smiled indifferently at Gu Nan, "I'm fine, I'm sorry, I was ignorant and interrupted your interest."
Gu Nan was stunned and silent.
She looked at Lin Layue, who seemed to have found her place again, and a bitter feeling of helplessness gradually filled her heart.
He is like a dog
He was once abandoned and then found. He thought he could finally have a safe home, but not long after, he was tortured and abused again. He couldn't bear to give up the warmth of that roof over his head, so he carefully retracted his claws and tried to please and cater to others.
The system obviously didn't understand Gu Nan's intention and tentatively said, "Hmm... This is a very new way of praising people. I think the hero will like it?"
Gu Nan: ...
