Chapter 261 Lonely Fish

Pei Du's side was empty for a moment, and Yu Zhuo heard the sound of doors opening and closing, and the person on the opposite side seemed to have walked to another place.

"Just try to survive?" Pei Du asked uncertainly.

"It's me, it's me." Yu Zhuo said hurriedly, "I hacked into your network defense network so that I could talk to you for a few minutes. It was not easy!"

Pei Du had already walked to the balcony by then. He closed the soundproof door and expressed some understanding for Gouqiu Tusheng's behavior of calling him and waking him up at around three in the morning.

"What's wrong?" Pei Du glanced inside the room and saw the bulge in the bed moved. Seeing this, he lowered his voice and asked, "Is there anything urgent that I can help you with?"

Pei Du was indeed the founding disciple of Gou Qie Toutou Sheng. As soon as Gou Qie Toutou Sheng called him, he immediately knew that Gou Qie Toutou Sheng had something to ask him.

Yu Zhuo was very pleased. He said, "I am currently on a mission in another world, but I encountered some things related to your world here, so I wanted to ask you."

Pei Du listened silently.

"Do you still remember Lu Xun? The military commander before you, the commander of the province, city, and county... the man who said you smelled."

"Him?" Pei Du was impressed by Lu Xun and said, "I remember him, but he died in the line of duty a few months ago."

Yu Zhuo hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Well... I know that. I just want to ask, does he have any ambiguous partner with you? Or a boyfriend or something like that?"

These questions were beyond Pei Du's understanding. Pei Du recalled the past and said, "He is an orphan who grew up in a military compound and rarely interacted with others. As for the person... I haven't heard of him."

"What about the people who are close to him?" Yu Zhuo said after careful consideration, "Or... the aliens who interact with him more frequently?"

Pei Du answered quickly this time: "Are you talking about Lin Xuqiu?"

Yu Zhuo was startled when he heard this: "Lin Xuqiu..."

Last name: Lin.

S-class mutant.

He blinked and said, "Yes, Lin Xuqiu...how is he?"

Pei Du sighed: "He is dead too."

Yu Zhuo was slightly stunned: "How did he die?"

"Suicide." Pei Du's voice slowly flowed out from the receiver of the mobile phone, calmly and without causing any disturbances. "It was right next to the warehouse where Lu Xun was captured. His body was in the corner of the wall, and Lu Xun was inside."

"Their bodies have been cremated."

Yu Zhuo: "...Okay, I understand."

The confusion and throbbing at that moment flashed through Yuzhuo's mind. Yuzhuo suppressed his thoughts and frowned at Pei Du, saying, "The situation over there is really too dangerous! You should save more yang energy in case of emergency. Remember! The best way is to survive!"

"..." Pei Du laughed, "I know, I will be careful."

Yu Zhuo nodded. He didn't have much energy to connect to the other world, so he could only say a few words to Pei Du.

Seeing that his energy was about to run out, Yu Zhuo seized the moment and said, "I'm running out of power. I'll contact you when I have time. I'm hanging up now. Bye."

Pei Du hummed: "Bye."

As soon as he finished speaking, the call on his cell phone was quickly disconnected.

Pei Du looked at the screen of his mobile phone. There was no trace of the call record on it. Neither the number nor the phone recording existed, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Pei Du was not surprised. He turned off his phone and opened the sliding door of the balcony.

The figure on the bed lay motionless, gloomy and seemed to blend into the surrounding darkness. Pei Du lay back down, the warmth inside dispelling the chill that had just fallen on his body. He closed his eyes and heard a seemingly random voice above.

"Who?"

Pei Du smiled, kissed Sheng Shixian's Adam's apple, and said, "It was a harassing phone call, tricking me into buying insurance."

Sheng Shi snorted enviously, buried his face, and rubbed it lightly against Pei Du's skin: "Don't pay attention to them in the future, they are annoying."

"Okay." Pei Du raised his eyes slightly.

The night was dark here. The cold air outside was getting heavier, but the room inside was warm. Pei Du went back to sleep after finishing his phone call, but Yu Zhuo was still hiding in the bathroom processing messages.

He vaguely grasped some clues and was still sorting out the relationship between the characters.

The cell phone on the sink suddenly vibrated twice.

[“A lonely fish in a lonely night” requests to add you as a friend]

Yu Zhuo frowned and looked at the name for a few seconds. He clicked on the applicant's profile picture and saw that the background of his profile picture was pure white, with a Scottish Fold cat holding its tail in the middle.

Yu Zhuo couldn't figure out who this person was, so he tapped the screen with his fingertips and approved the other party's application.

[A lonely fish in a lonely night: Hello~ The cat pops up.jpg]

It was a normal start. Yu Zhuo took a look and typed a line of words on it.

[Wild indifference: Who are you? ]

[A lonely fish in a lonely night: I didn’t expect you to pass me by in seconds, so happy! Cat is happy.jpg]

[Wild indifference: ...]

[Wild indifference: Who are you? ]

[A lonely fish in a lonely night: I was the waiter at the auction before, the one who handed you the mask, but you probably don’t remember me. The cat is sad.jpg]

Auction... Yu Zhuo recalled the scene at the auction before. He and Qi Mohan arrived late and hurriedly put on their masks and walked into the venue. He indeed did not pay much attention to the waiter next to him.

[Wild indifference: What's up with you? ]

[A lonely fish in a lonely night: You are so cold. The cat is heartbroken.jpg]

[A lonely fish in a lonely night: I think you are handsome and want to make friends with you. ]

[Wild indifference: No, I’m married. ]

[A lonely fish in a lonely night: I know, I know, I just want to make friends with you, I won't bother you normally. Just treat it as an extension...]

[A lonely fish in a lonely night: Please. Cat kneeling on the ground.jpg]

Yu Zhuo looked at the chat content that quickly appeared on the mobile phone screen and couldn't help but frowning even more tightly.

It was nearly four in the morning, and most people would be asleep. But this lonely fish was not only awake at this time, but also deliberately found an opportunity to chat with Yu Zhuo, which clearly had bad intentions.

Yu Zhuo narrowed his eyes, thinking of the scene at the auction, and tapped the glass surface of the sink with his fingers thoughtfully.

If this person is a waiter at the auction, he must know a lot about Qi Mohan.

This is a good opportunity.

[Wild indifference: Sure, but I have something to ask you about the auction, can you tell me? ]

After the message was sent, the lonely fish was silent for a moment. Yu Zhuo's neck felt a little sore, he looked up to relax for a moment, then lowered his head to continue reading the message.

The lonely fish gave a quick answer within a few dozen seconds.

[Lonely fish in a lonely night: Of course, but it’s late now. I need to rest. We’ll talk tomorrow.]

[A lonely fish in a lonely night: Good night! The cat is sleeping.jpg]

Yu Zhuo looked at the cat heads that appeared one after another on his phone in silence. This lonely fish must love cats very much, as he would add a pet cat emoticon pack after almost every sentence he said.

Yu Zhuo felt puzzled. He ignored the lonely fish, turned off the light and walked out of the bathroom with light steps.

The bedroom was pitch black, and a bright light flashed in the darkness above the bed.

Yu Zhuo: “……?”

The light appeared for a very short time, and Yuzhuo even thought he was hallucinating.

He walked over to the bed and saw Zhou Yanshu still lying on the bed in the same position as when he left. He was breathing lightly and lying there in a well-behaved manner, with no signs of waking up yet.

Yu Zhuo carefully lifted the quilt, crawled inside, turned over, pressed close to Zhou Yanshu's body and closed his eyes.

Zhou Yanshu felt the heaviness on his shoulders. Yu Zhuo only pressed on him for a while and then returned to his original position as usual without coming any closer.

Zhou Yanshu heard the breathing sound gradually calming down beside him. He opened his eyes silently and saw Yu Zhuo sleeping with his head tilted to the side.

Zhou Yanshu reached his hand under the pillow and groped in the dark to place his cell phone on the corner of the table.

＊

When Yu Zhuo woke up the next day, his energy had been replenished. The yang energy stored in his system was enough for him to stay awake for more than ten days. The effect was extremely significant.

Zhou Yanshu was scheduled to go to the rehabilitation center for a checkup. After he woke up, all of his body functions were deteriorating, so necessary exercise was essential.

Yuzhuo picked him up and found that he was lighter than before: "I will go with you today."

Zhou Yanshu initially felt embarrassed when being carried around, his face tense as if he couldn't bear it. Unexpectedly, after a few times, he completely got rid of his previous state, and now he can speak without changing his expression.

"What are you going to do with those servants outside?"

Yuzhuo put him back in the wheelchair. He had already found an excuse and said, "I have nothing to do at home. They can't control where I go."

Zhou Yanshu didn't have any objection to what he said. He adjusted the collar of his suit with one hand, then turned around and saw Yu Zhuo fiddling with his mobile phone.

His fingertips tapped and paused on the screen, as if he was replying to someone's message.

Zhou Yanshu's eyes gradually darkened. He silently withdrew his gaze, picked up the small blanket beside the bed and covered his legs with it.

"Push me."

Yu Zhuo raised his head when he heard the voice. Zhou Yanshu was sitting upright in the wheelchair. He finally took the time to take care of his slightly curly light blonde hair today. It was half hanging down at his waist and abdomen, shining.

He glanced at Yuzhuo with his silver eyes, and Yuzhuo immediately understood the meaning of his gaze and walked behind Zhou Yanshu: "Aren't you going to bite today?"

Zhou Yanshu said, "No need, I'll put on the suppression patch today."

"Okay." Yu Zhuo felt a little sorry. He pushed the wheelchair forward and said, "I'm not familiar with the hospital here. How about we go in together when we get checked?"

"good."

Yuzhuo pushed the wheelchair and went outside with Zhou Yanshu. The guards outside were still waiting. Yuzhuo made up an excuse to send them away, saying that he also had to go out today and they didn't need to follow him.

Zhou Yanshu was always a man of few words when he was outside. After Yu Zhuo carried him into the car, he sat in the back seat, closed his eyes and rested, ignoring everyone else.

Yuzhuo squeezed next to him. He glanced at the driver in front and saw that the driver was not paying attention to them. Yuzhuo then leaned against the window to rest with peace of mind.

"Count, there will be heavy rain today. It is expected to start at 10 to 11 o'clock and last for nearly three hours. The inspection will be completed at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Do you need me to prepare lunch for you?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at the driver in front of him. The driver was middle-aged and had a serious expression when he spoke, as if he was just asking routine questions.

Zhou Yan closed his eyes and said slowly, "No, I'm not hungry."

"OK."

The car's engine started. Yu Zhuo saw that the driver didn't say anything after he finished speaking, so he tapped the window surface with one hand as a reminder.

"I'm hungry. Buy me a bowl of pork chop rice for lunch. It's slightly spicy and has onions and garlic." Yu Zhuo leaned back, talking in a string, "I want some vegetarian dishes, and some egg drop soup, both in large portions."

Driver: “…”

He looked at the back seat through the rearview mirror. Zhou Yanshu half opened his eyes and said in the sudden silence: "Listen to him."

The driver then retracted his gaze: "Yes."

Yuzhuo saw the eye contact between the two of them. It turned out that Zhou Yanshu had some tricks up his sleeve. This driver was probably not a surveillance officer sent by Tamo, otherwise he would not have ignored Yuzhuo and only listened to Zhou Yanshu's orders.

Yu Zhuo leaned his knees against his side and continued to doze off with his head down.

Zhou Yanshu stroked the small blanket covering his legs with his fingertips. The fluff on it was soft and passed through his fingers, exuding a little warmth in the gradually cooling air.

He glanced at Yu Zhuo, lowered his head and took out his cell phone.

Yu Zhuo felt his shirt pocket vibrate, he opened the screen and saw a message pop up.

[A lonely fish in a lonely night: Good morning! Cat peeking out.jpg]

Yu Zhuo took a quick look.

[Wild indifference: Can we talk about the auction? ]

[A lonely fish in a lonely night: Of course, what do you want to ask? Cat waiting.jpg]

[Wild indifference: Someone bought a carp skull at the auction yesterday. Do you know who the buyer was? ]

[A lonely fish in a lonely night: He is a VIP buyer, and the information cannot be disclosed. The cat is in trouble.jpg]

This was within Yu Zhuo's expectations. The underground auction that Qi Mohan went to was highly secretive, and the information of these customers was kept confidential. It was difficult to rely on a waiter to know everything.

Yuzhuo thought about it and continued asking.

[Wild Indifference: Okay. I went there late yesterday, so I didn’t get to shoot some items. If there are new items for auction, can you let me know in advance? I can prepare.]

[A lonely fish in a lonely night: Of course, I will pay attention! Cats working.jpg]

[Wild indifference: OK. ]

Yu Zhuo was ready to exit the conversation. His eyes flashed across the lonely fish avatar and clicked into his circle of friends.

With restricted access, this lonely fish has nothing in its space.

[Wild indifference: What's your name? I'll meet you offline next time I go to the auction.]

[“A lonely fish in a lonely night” is being input…]

The opponent kept losing for more than three or four minutes. Yu Zhuo propped up his chin and looked at the mobile phone screen, glancing at Zhou Yanshu beside him.

Zhou Yanshu didn't rest either. He was holding his cell phone, doing something unknown, with his body half turned away, blocking Yuzhuo's view.
