Chapter 18
When entering Laixing Community, the security guard just came out of the security room to pour water. Luo Yu was quite familiar with him and would chat with him more or less whenever they met.
At this moment, the security guard caught sight of him and couldn't help but tease him, "Oh, you're so prosperous, are you going to meet your mother-in-law?"
Luo Yuxin said: Yes, yes, and I am even paying for it.
Luo Yu laughed awkwardly twice: "Ahaha, uncle, you are indeed an experienced person, you are really amazing."
The doorman also laughed. He put down the kettle and said, "Hey, I was too crazy when I was young. I met five mothers-in-law in total. I know what you are going to do with this outfit at a glance."
"Yeah," Luo Yuxia agreed, giving a thumbs-up: "Sir, you're really amazing. You've been married five times. I admire you."
The security guard waved his hand, signaling that the matter was no longer a topic. He asked, "So when are you planning to get married? Is the woman a local?" He pointed at Luo Zhi and said, "This is the woman's family, right?"
Luo Zhi looked a little ferocious at this moment, as if he was very dissatisfied with what the old man said.
But the security guard didn't notice. He continued, "Xiao Luo, let me tell you, you can't just do things carelessly when it comes to getting married. You must choose an auspicious day, otherwise..." He showed an indescribable expression and shook his head.
Luo Yu smiled and nodded to indicate that she understood. She said a few more irrelevant words to him and then went in.
The elevator door stopped when it reached the 12th floor, and slowly opened. Luo Zhiluo and I set off towards the new world that was about to be faced!
The door to Luo Yu's house had a combination lock. When his index finger pressed the first number, he turned his head and asked, "Are you nervous?"
Luo Zhi said, "Not bad."
That's nervousness. Luo Yu said, "Don't be nervous. Just remember our conversation in the car and you'll be fine." Although he said so, he wasn't much better. His fingertips were trembling slightly when he pressed the combination lock.
When the door opened, you could see a head with sparse hair lying on the sofa. The TV was still playing the anti-Japanese film, and the fighting was going on fiercely.
Luo Yu shouted from behind: "Dad, we are here."
The sparse head turned around, and surprisingly, Luo Zeping was wearing glasses today. He only wore them when teaching students.
After he said this, according to their rehearsal in the car, the next step was to say hello.
But Luo Zhi didn't know what happened and he failed.
Fall and pinch his lower back.
After being pinched by him, Luo Zhi immediately said, "Hello, uncle."
Luo Zeping smiled and nodded at them. He didn't know what he was thinking, but his eyes began to show doubt. After a while, he walked over and asked, "What's Xiao Wang's name? He looks very familiar."
Luo Zhi shook his head and said in a very calm voice: "My last name is Guan, Chengbo, and this is the first time I meet you."
Luo Zeping looked thoughtful.
Luo Zhi showed the bag he was holding to Luo Zeping and said, "This is the fruit I bought. There are durian, pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, apples, oranges, and two packs of cigarettes."
Luo Yu: "…………"
I didn't ask you to say it out loud, and it wouldn't be so detailed.
"Ah?" Luo Zeping looked at the gift boxes, blinked, and realized: "Oh, oh, that's thoughtful, that's thoughtful. Oh, you're really something, why bring so many things just for a meal? What a waste of money, hahahaha..."
Luo Zhi said politely, "It's not a waste." There was no emotion at all, and it sounded like a robot speaking.
“…”
"Hey, Xiao Wang is here, why are you three standing there like idiots?!"
The awkward situation was broken by the beautiful and kind Xu Xiaoxia, who appeared from the glass double doors of the kitchen. She had her hair tied in a low bun, a green apron for the chef, and her hands were sticky with seasoning liquid.
Luo Yu smiled and said, "No, we just came in. Let's chat for a while."
Xu Xiaoxia sighed and pointed the arrow at Luo Zeping: "Old Luo, how can you act like an elder?! Hurry and take the child to sit on the sofa!"
Luo Zeping was scolded for no reason and felt helpless: "Yes, yes, I heard it."
"Also!" Xu Xiaoxia continued, "Cut out your anti-Japanese films and put on some variety shows."
Luo Zeping: "Yes, yes, yes."
When they got to the sofa, Luo Zhiluo sat next to him, while Luo Zeping sat on the single sofa and changed channels with the remote control.
Luo Zeping casually asked while pressing the remote control: "Xiao Bo, how old are you this year?"
Luo Zhi: “22.”
Luo Zeping: "Then you are the same age as Luo Yu. I heard from Luo Yu that you are from Guangdong. Which part of Guangdong are you from?"
The arrest was reported according to the forged ID card.
"More than ten years ago, our whole family went to Guangdong, but we came back after two or three years." Luo Zeping said as he was about to open the durian, and Luo Yuyi stopped him quickly when he saw him.
"Dad, don't move!"
Luo Zeping wondered: "Why, is this a bomb?"
For Luo Zhi, it was indeed the case, even though he had played one on Luo Zhi last night.
"No, Luo... uh, no, Chengbo has a phobia of durian." Luo Yuxin thought to himself that it was a close call, he almost said the wrong name.
Luo Zeping didn't pay attention to the content of his words, but was attracted by the term "durian phobia". He said, "Durian phobia? Does it mean you can't eat durian or you are afraid of durian?"
Luo Zhihui: "You can't eat it." He pushed his glasses, glanced at Luo Yu, and continued: "Actually, it's an allergy. Luo Yu just said it wrong."
"Ah, yes, yes." Luo Yu could only agree.
Although you can't eat it if you are allergic, Luo Zeping still chose not to touch the durian. Instead, he picked up the orange and started peeling it. After peeling it, he gave the first slice of the orange to Ms. Xu Xiaoxia who was working hard in the kitchen.
Taking advantage of the moment when he left the living room, Luo Yu quickly said to Luo Zhi, "Luo Zhi, you're speaking even colder and stiffer than Siri right now. Can you smile more later?"
Luo Zhi: “I understand.”
Luo Yu glanced at the kitchen. The couple started chatting. They probably wouldn't come over for a while. Luo Yu continued to nag in Luo Zhi's ear: "Also, we'll be out after dinner. We'll be gone for such a long time this time. Should I bring more clothes with me?"
Luo Zhi said, "No need, just take two pieces for show. I can keep your body clean in the underworld."
Luo Yu moved closer: "Are you using magic to help me bathe?"
"..." Luo Zhi said: "That's about what I mean."
Luo Yuraorao's ears were trembling with shyness as she said, "...If that's the case, won't my entire body be visible to you?"
If Xu Xiaoxia saw her son in this state, she would definitely tie him up and send him to work at the crocodile base.
Luo Zhi handed the watermelon on the coffee table to Luo Yu, saying helplessly, "Go cut the watermelon."
Luo Yu did not accept the melon and said, "I'm not joking with you. This is actually a saying in our human world. I'm also worried, so I asked."
Luo Zhi: "What do you mean?"
Luo Yu put the watermelon in his hand back on the table and started to talk nonsense to the ghost: "In our human world, if someone sees your body naked, that person must take responsibility."
Luo Zhi had heard from Ma Gui that in ancient times, if a man accidentally caught a glimpse of a woman's feet, the man would be held responsible.
But now this saying seems to have disappeared for a long time. Has it been changed to men being held responsible if they are seen naked?
No, there were quite a few men wandering around the streets at the ghost market last night with their upper bodies naked and beer bellies showing. Luo Yu was obviously talking nonsense to him.
If that’s the case, then just cooperate with him.
He said, “Well, you have to be responsible.”
"Ah?" Luo Yu felt that Luo Zhi didn't seem to be joking, so what he meant was...
"Wash your hands and eat. We'll talk later." Xu Xiaoxia's voice suddenly broke in, interrupting Luo Yu's thoughts.
Luo Zhi ignored Luo Yu who was still in a daze, got up and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes. He wanted to behave normally.
"Auntie will come and serve it. You just go wash your hands and sit down to eat." Xu Xiaoxia said happily.
Luo Zhi walked towards the sink: "Then I'll go wash those dishes."
Xu Xiaoxia stopped him again: "Oh, no, no, how can you be so diligent? Let's not worry about these for now. Auntie will clean up after dinner."
There were four dishes and one soup on the slate dining table, and the four people sat on each side, facing east, south, west and north.
Beside Luo Zhi were Luo Yu and Xu Xiaoxia. At this moment, Xu Xiaoxia was holding his bowl and scooping chicken soup for him.
"I heard from Luo Yu that you like chicken soup very much. Come, try the one made by your aunt." Xu Xiaoxia said.
Luo Zhi looked at the bowl of chicken soup in front of him for a long time before he whispered, "Thank you."
Luo Yu noticed that Luo Zhi was in a strange mood. After thinking for a few seconds, he kicked Luo Zhi's legs under the table and said with a smile: "Chengbo classmate, you have to give him a star after drinking."
Luo Zhi looked at him.
Luo Yu opened his palm and put down a finger as he spoke: "The full score is five stars, the average score is four stars, and the low score is three stars."
"Hahahaha..." Xu Xiaoxia and Luo Zeping laughed out loud at the same time.
Luo Zhi didn't know how to fight the stars at first, but after Luo Yu explained it, he understood.
He gulped down the chicken soup and said, "Five stars."
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the three humans looked at him with strange eyes as if they had seen a ghost.
At this moment, everything in the room except him seemed to be frozen.
Luo Zhi scanned the faces of the three people, and after confirming that they were still breathing, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Xiaoxia's face twitched, and after a long while she stammered, "Xiao, Xiaobo, you, you, aren't you hot? This, this is freshly cooked chicken soup."
“…………”
This was bad. Luo Zhi was a ghost, and the oral mucosa on his body was just a decoration, completely different from that of humans. So he didn't feel anything no matter how hot or cold the food was. He was so focused on giving a five-star review that he forgot about this.
Luo Zhi had no choice but to imitate Luo Yu and talk nonsense. He said, "I really like eating hot food."
Xu Xiaoxia was even more stunned, her eyes wide open: "But, but, but this chicken soup is over 100 degrees?!"
Luo Zeping had already started rubbing his eyes and face.
Luo Yuze kept thinking about how to deal with this matter.
Luo Zhi saw that the situation was not right, so he came to be a weird person, shocking them to the end and opening their eyes. Although he was not a human being.
He scooped up another bowl of chicken soup, gulped it down in one gulp, and said calmly, "This is just right for me."
Three people: “…………”
"Right!" Luo Yu suddenly spoke up, "Dad, Mom, I forgot to tell you, Luo... Chengbo used to be in a circus, and this is a unique skill he developed!"
"Unique skill?"
"Unique skill?"
Luo Yu had already thought of an excuse. He continued, "Yes, this is a unique skill he developed. There are only two people in the world who can use it: Chengbo, and the other is his master who is no longer with us. This unique skill is called 'Fiery Throat'. He is not afraid of having 200-degree hot water poured down his throat."
Xu Xiaoxia and Luo Zeping were staring at Luo Zhi's neck. In a few minutes, they would probably touch it.
Luo Zhi knew that Luo Yu was trying to help him get out of this situation, so he continued, "Well, my master runs a circus, and this 'Fiery Throat' is his unique skill. He spent a year teaching it to me before he died."
“But my mind was elsewhere, and after I learned it, I never showed it to the public.”
The couple looked at each other and felt that there seemed to be no problem. The talents in the circus were indeed amazing and lived up to their reputation.
It was this "Fire Throat" that they had never heard of, but they had seen the acrobatic act of blowing fire out of the mouth.
Xu Xiaoxia asked, "Xiaobo, weren't you very young when you entered society? Oh, didn't you suffer a lot? Actually, it's better not to learn such cruel acrobatics. It's too dangerous."
Xu Xiaoxia touched Luo Zhi's neck and said with a distressed look on her face, "Tsk, it's right not to expose it to the public. Listen to your auntie and don't eat like this in the future. Just like Luo Yu, you should eat as hot food as he does, otherwise your stomach will definitely be in trouble."
Luo Zhi felt very uncomfortable all over, he lowered his head and hummed.
After this little episode, the four of them started eating and chatting like a normal family. Luo Zeping and Xu Xiaoxia didn't ask any more questions. As long as the person's character was acceptable, everything would be fine.
With Xu Xiaoxia's obstruction, Luo Zhi was ultimately unable to successfully visit the kitchen sink.
When he walked out of the kitchen, his eyes were dim and he looked very lost.
Luo Yu looked at him for a while, and after confirming that he was not pretending, he went over and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "It's okay, I'll order takeout another day, and leave the disposable lunch boxes for you to wash after eating."
"Puff... cough cough cough..." Luo Zeping was chewing an apple and was choked when he heard Luo Yu's words.
After his coughing subsided, he looked at them and said, "Xiao Bo, don't pay attention to what he said. This kid just talks nonsense all day long."
Luo Zhi said, "It's okay, just let him make a fuss."
These words sounded so doting that Luo Yu's ears suddenly turned red and hot, his eyes darted around, and his thoughts were in a mess.
Luo Zeping was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he saw his son's embarrassed look. He continued to chew his apple without saying anything more and switched the TV channel back to the anti-Japanese film.
Luo Yu went back to his room with a red face to pack his clothes, and Luo Zhi followed him.
