Chapter 56: Rats Everywhere
Outside the school gate, there is a Kende Chicken fast food restaurant.
The four of them sat together drinking Coke, eating fried chicken, hamburgers and egg tarts.
He Yu and Li Chuxin both enjoyed the meal very much, talking and laughing throughout.
Although both of them come from wealthy families and can eat whatever they want, they would not even consider a Ken De Chicken meal that costs just a few dozen dollars.
But this meal was different.
Lin Zichen paid for the meal, and the joy of getting something for free cannot be bought with money.
In contrast to the other two, Shen Qinghan was absent-minded the whole time, eating silently with his head down.
If no one talks to her, she will remain silent.
When someone approached her for a conversation, she would just respond casually.
Lin Zichen noticed that she was in a bad mood and guessed that she must have performed poorly in the physical test and competition, which made her feel a little depressed.
But I didn't try to comfort her and just pretended nothing happened.
Some things are better not to be mentioned, because mentioning them will have the opposite effect of rubbing salt into the wound.
…
Soon, all four of them were full and satisfied.
He Yu said thank you to his godfather, and Li Chuxin said thank you to Boss Lin.
Then, the two of them took a taxi home.
Seeing that Shen Qinghan was still in a low mood, Lin Zichen looked at her with a smile and said:
"I remember your watercolors were almost out, right? Come on, let's go to the mall upstairs and I'll buy you a new one."
"Ah, no thanks. I rarely paint anymore. Don't waste your money."
Shen Qinghan waved his hand and said.
Ever since she entered high school and her study intensity suddenly increased, she has never painted again.
Basically, I study or exercise at home whenever I have time.
"It's okay, just buy it and keep it at home. When you want to paint someday, you can take it out and use it. It has a long shelf life anyway."
After saying that, Lin Zichen didn't give Shen Qinghan a chance to refuse again. He took her hand and walked upstairs.
Soon, the two walked into an art supply store upstairs.
"Is there anything you prefer?"
"Everything is fine."
"Then I'll choose for you."
Lin Zichen walked around the store and finally chose the most expensive set of watercolor paints.
The price is as high as 588 yuan.
Seeing that the price was so high, Shen Qinghan wanted to change to a cheaper one.
However, Lin Zichen didn't give her a chance to change it and just scanned the code to pay.
"Xiaochen, it's too expensive..."
"It's expensive, but worth it." Lin Zichen smiled and said, "This set of paints is rich in color. With your superb painting skills, you will definitely be able to create many beautiful works. If you create beautiful works in the future, remember to give me a few copies. I want to hang them in my room as decorations."
Listening to Lin Zichen's words and looking at the beautiful watercolor paints in his hands, Shen Qinghan finally felt better and temporarily forgot about the worry of being discovered when taking the back door.
…
On the way back.
Shen Qinghan was obviously in a much better mood, and she kept chatting and laughing with Lin Zichen.
Ask him what kind of painting he likes, and draw one for him when I have free time during the winter vacation.
He also said that when he had time on the weekend, he would take him out for a ride on his bike.
As they were chatting, they passed by a vegetable market and saw many sanitation workers cleaning the market.
At the same time, we also saw many security team members inside, holding rat-catching tools in their hands, shooting rats that came out from every corner.
The dead rats were shoveled up and thrown into a garbage truck parked in the middle of the market.
Lin Zichen took a look at the garbage truck and saw that it was filled with fresh dead rats. Judging from the volume of the truck, there were at least hundreds of them.
"Xiaochen, there are so many mice!"
"Look at the one on the top of the garbage truck. It's as big as a cat. So scary!"
"The streets here are apparently quite clean, so why are there so many rats?"
Shen Qinghan kept talking beside him, her pretty face full of confusion and puzzlement.
When Lin Zichen saw the mouse, the first thing he thought of was the Rat God Cult.
He immediately frowned and said to Shen Qinghan:
"Let's go. Stop looking. Rats are dirty and have lots of bacteria and viruses on them. Let's stay away from them."
"Um."
Shen Qinghan responded obediently and quickly left with Lin Zichen.
…
Evening, home.
Lin Zichen and his parents were having dinner in the living room, watching the evening news on TV while eating.
When he was about to finish eating, a piece of news caught his attention.
"Today, rats have been spotted frequently in the area. After the public security department learned of the situation, they immediately organized a ten-day rat eradication operation..."
Frequent appearance of rats?
Lin Zichen frowned slightly, having a bad feeling in his heart. He suspected that the increasing number of rats was related to the Rat God Cult.
He felt very uneasy about this.
But then I thought, if I, a mere student, could think of these things, then the public security department must have thought of them a long time ago.
As for the public security department, there has been no major action so far, except for organizing some personnel to exterminate rats.
From this perspective, there shouldn't be any major problems with the Rat God Cult, and I'm probably just worrying too much.
Thinking of this, Lin Zichen felt a lot more at ease.
After resting for a while and digesting the food, he went upstairs to his room and did high-intensity exercise, using his hard work and sweat to make himself feel more at peace.
All the insecurity in life is caused by lack of strength.
The only way is to keep training and becoming stronger. When you are strong enough to rival even higher-level creatures, you naturally won't have to worry about the Rat God Cult anymore.
After all, the so-called Rat God worshipped by the Rat God Cult's followers is just a giant alien rat that is about to evolve into a higher-level creature.
…
A few days later, on Saturday afternoon.
Lin Zichen first exercised intensively at home for several hours. Feeling exhausted, he changed into clean clothes and went out to find Shen Qinghan to accompany her to exercise.
When he changed his shoes and went out, Shen Qinghan was already waiting outside.
She was wearing a loose sportswear and had a smooth ponytail, exuding a youthful and beautiful aura.
"Let's go. First, run two kilometers of jogging to warm up, then run three kilometers of speed running, and finally do some strength training for your core muscles."
Lin Zichen briefly told Shen Qinghan about the training items that would be carried out later, and then quickly took her to run towards the road ahead.
…
In the next period of time.
Under the supervision of Lin Zichen, Shen Qinghan began high-intensity training.
Today's training was more than usual, and she was very tired, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.
He even took the initiative to ask for more practice after finishing.
Just because she didn't want to continue to be at the bottom of the class, she wanted to work hard to improve her physical fitness.
…
I exercised for almost two hours.
Finally finished exercising.
Lin Zichen found a bench on the side of the road, asked Shen Qinghan to lie on it, and then skillfully relaxed her muscles.
“Boom boom boom—”
Suddenly, there was a roar from a motorcycle exhaust pipe behind me.
Lin Zichen frowned slightly, thinking the sound was too loud and harsh, and turned around to look in the direction of the sound.
Then, what caught his eye was a ghost fire motorcycle speeding on the road not far away.
The motorcycle was going very fast and passed by in less than two seconds.
Only a head of colorful hair was left disheveled in the wind as the motorcycle went farther and farther away.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lin Zichen suddenly felt that the driver looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
…
