That afternoon, the bus took the tourists on a tour of the entire city. However, Yang Jia noticed that, apart from the central square, the people seemed not very interested in other places. Only when the tour guide mentioned something special about the place would they pay attention.
Because of this, today's mission was completed before it got dark. The bus took everyone to the hotel entrance, and Yang Jia followed the tour guide to check in everyone.
With so many people, there was no room for one person, so they had to arrange for two people to share a room. The tour guide originally wanted everyone to form their own groups, but then the problem arose: no one wanted to share a room with Yang Jia's dream lover, Yu Jie.
Yes, after an afternoon, Yang Jia still didn't know the other person's name. From beginning to end, no one approached her to speak, and she didn't seem to care. Even everyone else stayed away from her, including those Yang Jia thought were on her side.
But that attitude didn't seem like disgust. Yang Jia couldn't put his finger on it, but it was probably awe, respect and fear, so he could only keep his distance.
However, apart from the driver, tour guide and Yang Jia, there were thirty people in the car, so someone had to stay in the same room with her.
Finally, Bai Ting came over pitifully and asked Yang Jia, "Don't you live here?"
"No," Yang Jia said. "Those two should have staff quarters. I'll rent a house myself."
"Rent an apartment!" Bai Ting's eyes lit up. "Why didn't I think of that?" But the light soon dimmed again. "Alas, we don't have any money right now. How can we rent an apartment?"
As he spoke, he looked at Yang Jia with that familiar envious look.
Yang Jia felt even more puzzled. He didn't think he'd need to rent a house just for sightseeing, did he? Even if he did, how could he travel without money? What kind of weird people were they? He'd heard travel agencies often force tourists to buy items from designated stores, refusing to let them leave. Perhaps they were trying to prevent this, so they simply left money alone?
But no matter how you think about it, it's still very strange!
While the two were talking, the others had already formed their teams, leaving only Bai Ting and the girl. Seeing this, Bai Ting grumbled softly, "I knew it would be like this again! I dare not sleep tonight!"
Yang Jia couldn't help but turn his head to take a look, thinking that this man has enough aura, but is he really that scary?
But she still walked over and said to the tour guide, "Why don't we open an extra room for them?"
The tour guide glanced at her, not surprised at all, and simply said, "Budget is limited, so we can't open more."
"Then..." Yang Jia hesitated for a moment, then thought about the 3,000 yuan he was about to get, and said through gritted teeth, "Then I'll pay for it."
Bai Ting had walked up to her at some point, tears welling up in her eyes as she was so moved, "Yang Jia, you're such a good person!"
Yang Jia: "..." Sister, did you know you just sent me a nice guy card? Although you're not my type, it's still very frustrating to receive a nice guy card!
She spoke with such a grand gesture, but once she learned the price was 288, Yang Jia's mood soured. She clutched her nearly empty wallet, and with a sudden urgency, she decided to stay here! They'd booked an extra double room, so there were two empty beds, so why not? Plus, the hotel was offering a free breakfast the next morning!
Between Bai Ting and the girl he liked, Yang Jia chose the latter without hesitation.
Bai Ting watched with horror as she walked up to the girl and asked, "Can I stay in the same room with you tonight?" She immediately grabbed the room card without hesitation and ran away.
Yang Jia: "..." She seemed to have been speechless quite a bit today. She'd thought Bai Ting would at least give her a heads up, but she'd never expected her to just run away like that! Girl, you're the type of person who's ungrateful and heartless, you know?!
But even after entering the room, Yang Jia looked around and couldn't see what was so terrifying about his roommate. He didn't have superhuman powers, nor did he have immense strength. He looked just like a normal person!
Wait, what do you mean by "no different from a normal person"? Has he been influenced by her and thinks she's not normal?
Yang Jia couldn't help but hold his forehead. So, insanity is contagious. Better finish this job quickly, get the money, and leave for safety!
Because of Bai Ting and the others' behavior, although Yang Jia didn't quite believe it, she still felt a little nervous when she lay in bed, worried that something strange would happen in the middle of the night. However, she slept until dawn and had the best sleep she had ever had.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that his roommate was already dressed neatly, sitting on the bed with his back to him, fiddling with something. Yang Jia couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
I thought there would be some benefits from living in the same room. Although Yang Laosiji Jia had never thought about developing any relationship with this kind of stranger, it was not illegal to feast his eyes.
As a result, she waited for a long time last night, but this person looked the same when she went into the bathroom and came out the same. She also showed no intention of taking off her clothes when she went to bed, which made people question her living habits. Yang Jia was so embarrassed that she felt embarrassed to take off her clothes.
——How could she have known that she would start work straight after the interview? So she only brought her phone and wallet, not even a change of clothes. Fortunately, the weather is not too hot, otherwise it is hard to imagine what would happen_(:зゝ∠)_
I grabbed my phone and took a look. It was only seven in the morning!
Yang Jia hadn't gotten up at this time in a long time since he started college. The last time he woke up this early was during his freshman year, wasn't it? Back then, as a naive freshman, he didn't dare to be late or leave early for class. He diligently completed his assignments and papers, and never missed any department activities. He was just a complete fool.
Thinking about it, it felt like something from his previous life. Yang Jia pulled his hair together, sat up and went to wash up.
When he came downstairs, the others were already up. Yang Jia was surprised, but then he realized they were here for tourism, and he felt relieved.
The hotel's breakfast was buffet style. As Yang Jia was picking up a plate and choosing, she saw her roommate reaching for a biscuit in the corner. While the biscuits looked nice, they were dry and the number on the plate was enough to tell they weren't popular. Yang Jia couldn't help but remind him, "That one isn't tasty."
The waiter standing next to her glanced at her when he heard this.
But Yang Jia regretted it as soon as she opened her mouth. This person looked cold, and even her companions didn't talk to her, so he definitely wouldn't respond to her. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Before she could turn around and leave, she heard a deep cello-like voice say, "This can replenish body heat."
It sounds so nice!
Yang Jia used a lot of strength to resist the urge to raise her hand to press her heart. When the sound entered her ears, it seemed to carry an electric current that went all the way to her heart, causing her heart to tremble violently.
How could there be such a person in this world? Every detail of his body was designed to her liking!
But she just showed up.
Even when it appeared, I didn't dare to take action.
Yang Jia swept the broken pieces of his heart away and threw them into a corner. He turned and smiled at the other person, "If you just want a high calorie diet, I suggest you choose this whole-wheat bread over here. Its slogan is 'Eat for health and gain weight.' Spread peanut butter on it, and the calories are no less than those of cookies. If that's still not enough, you can pair it with a cup of hot chocolate."
As she spoke, she picked up a bag of whole wheat bread and handed it over.
"Thank you." The other party thanked him lightly and reached out to take the bread. When Yang Jia let go, his fingertips brushed against the other party's fingers, and his heart skipped a beat.
Yang Jia, a light eater, opted for a light rice porridge with some pickles. After a moment's thought, he grabbed an egg. He was about to continue his tour, which would undoubtedly require more energy than usual, so he decided to eat more to be on the safe side.
When I sat down, I unexpectedly sat opposite my roommate because all the other seats were taken.
Watching her spread thick peanut butter on her bread without blinking, Yang Jia couldn't help but admire her. At least she couldn't eat that kind of food. But, it was just a trip, so why bother consuming so many calories? If she ate like that normally and still maintained this figure, Yang Jia was impressed. She must have been exercising a lot.
After quietly finishing his breakfast and getting back on the bus, Yang Jia heard the tour guide announce the next itinerary. Only then did he realize that this tour group was actually going out of the city!
Even the seemingly innocent Bai Ting looked expectant. "Ah, we're finally leaving the city! I just walked around the city yesterday, and it was boring!"
Girl, do you know how scary the wild is?
Well, Yang Jia didn't know. Like everyone else, she'd only seen stories about the wilderness on the news and heard from her elders, but she'd never been there herself. In fact, Yang Jia had never even left Phoenix City.
Geography books describe the eighty-eight cities of the Chinese region, like eighty-eight pearls scattered across the land. Although they belong to the same integrated governance system, they possess significant autonomy, commuting via designated underground and skytrain systems. As for what lies beyond the cities, this is rarely mentioned. Strangely enough, no one seems to have considered exploring this question, living and working in peace and contentment until now.
But in short, it is dangerous and scary outside the city.
The bus couldn't leave the city because there were no roads outside. So, at the city gate, everyone got off the bus and, led by the tour guide, left. Yang Jia finally understood why his part-time job was worth three thousand yuan. After all, no one knew what problems would arise once he left the city. But Ms. Zhang hadn't said a word beforehand, which was quite unkind. He would definitely have to bargain with her later.
However, since this hotel dares to take people out of the city, maybe they have opened up such a route, so there is no need to worry too much about safety issues.
As she thought this, Yang Jia felt as if her thoughts froze for a moment. It was hard to describe the feeling, but it was eerie, as if time had stood still for a second. She quickly looked up at the others, and saw a scene that nearly overturned her worldview.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment. Everyone in the tour group maintained the movements of the previous second. Some were taking steps, some were laughing, and some were turning around, but they just maintained this posture, frozen in front of Yang Jia's eyes!
Yang Jia blinked, and when she looked again, she found that everyone was normal. Several people had already walked out, leaving her behind.
Was I dazzled? Yang Jia asked in his heart. But the feeling at that moment was too clear and too terrifying to be explained by dazzle. Yang Jia felt a chill down his spine.
What is going on?
Am I wrong, or is this world wrong?
