Chapter 8
"That interviewer is really something," Luo Yu pretended to be quite helpless and continued, "A great guy came to my interview yesterday and directly kicked us out. Now he's saying that the great guy stood them up and wants me to come to work tomorrow."
Luo Zhi said, "Well, do you want to go?"
Luo Yu did not respond, but stared at him for a while, then pretended to be curious and asked, "What do you think of this great god? Why did he suddenly disappear, Luo Zhi?" It sounded like a question.
Luo Zhi knew he was asking for an explanation from him. He had indeed gone to that company for an interview yesterday, and had successfully prevented Luo Yu from being accepted.
He didn't like beating around the bush, so he said directly: "The deal between the Ghost King and you is true, and I am also very happy to work with a human. But it turns out that we are working together. I don't want my partner to be so tired at night and have to get up to work during the day, so..."
"So you are thinking about my health?" Luo Yu interrupted him without waiting for him to finish.
"..." Luo Zhi said: "Yes, I made the decision on my own, you..."
"I see," Luo Yu interrupted him again, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly: "I believe you are a good ghost. If you want to do something I don't know about in the future, can you tell me in advance?"
After a long time, Luo Zhi let out an "Ah?"
This really confused him. Didn't he just not want you to know that he didn't tell you in advance?
Luo Yu was amused by his reaction. This kind of action of slightly tilting the head, frowning eyebrows and puzzled eyes would make anyone look confused, but Luo Zhi made it look quite cute, making people want to tease him.
Luo Yu suppressed his smile and said deliberately, "You have to tell me in advance something you don't want me to know. Is this sentence difficult to understand?"
"..." Luo Zhi said, "There is a kind of fruit in the underworld. I will ask Wangwang to pick it for you to eat later."
"Will it have any magic effect after eating it?" Luo Yu said.
Luo Zhi sighed: "No, but eating it can clear up my confused mind."
Luo Yu: "…………"
Luo Yu curled his lips, suddenly remembering that Luo Zhi still had something to do. He said, "When will you teach me that spell to move objects?"
Luo Zhi's expression was indescribable. He was about to ask when he had agreed to teach him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his wrist was grabbed, and then his whole body staggered and was pulled forward by a force.
Luo Yu pulled him forward, and judging from the direction, they were heading to the hotel.
Arriving at the restaurant, Luo Yu released his hand, held up three fingers, and said, "This restaurant is ranked third in the city. How about this, I'll treat you to a meal, and then you can teach me the Moving Object Technique while we eat, how about that, Master Luo Zhi? The food here is really delicious."
Luo Zhi was quite taken in. He thought about it for a few seconds and then nodded in agreement.
In fact, he didn't really want to eat these human foods. He was a ghost with a high level of cultivation and didn't need to eat.
But given his personality, if I don't agree, he will probably pester me day and night.
A man and a ghost stepped into a hotel that was magnificently decorated and looked extremely expensive. The front desk clerk immediately came over to greet them.
The waiter's sweet voice rang out: "Welcome to the Kirishima Hotel. Did you two make a reservation in advance?"
Luo Yu nodded to her and said, "No, just arrange a private room for us."
Waiter: "Okay, then you two follow me."
The waiter took them upstairs and kept reminding them to pay attention to the steps as they went up the stairs.
After passing through one refined box room after another, they finally stopped at the door of box No. 26.
The waiter opened the door to the private room, stood by the door handle, and said, "Please come in, the menus are on the table. There is a button with a carved wooden pattern at the bottom of the table. If you need anything, just press it and our waiter will come right over."
"Okay, thank you." Luo Yu said and entered the box with Luo Zhi.
After sitting down, Luo Yu handed the menu and pen to Luo Zhi with both hands, and said with a smile: "Master Luo Zhi, feel free to order whatever you want to eat. Don't worry, my pocket is full."
Luo Zhi took the menu and pen from him, but didn't look at them. Instead, he stared at Luo Yu's smiling face and said, "Why... did you call me that?"
Luo Yu played dumb: "Why do you need to be called that? You're a young master after all. Isn't that inappropriate?" He glanced at the waiter who was setting the table and occasionally glancing at them, and blinked twice, "Isn't that right?"
The waitress nodded frantically. If you looked closely, you could see that she was trying to hold back laughter, but due to her professionalism, she managed to hold it back.
But this could not escape Luo Zhi's sharp eyes. He stopped talking and started looking at the menu.
He had some understanding of the RMB in the world. He looked at the colorful pictures on the menu and the prices below, feeling a little confused.
What he was looking at at the moment was a dish called Emerald Fish. The picture of this fish was basically covered by green onions and coriander as well as red and yellow things that he couldn't name. It looked unappetizing, and yet this dish was sold for 488.
Luo Zhi skipped this dish and moved on to the next one.
This time he was looking at a dish called Brilliant Chicken. The picture was still colorful. The only thing that made Gui look a little appetizing was the shiny sesame seeds, but when he saw the price.
388. Jump.
He turned to the next page, and this time there was a dish called "Red and Hot". He didn't know what the thing in the picture was, but it looked like shrimps. It looked quite novel, but he looked at the price.
188. Yes.
Luo Zhi took a pen and drew a hook.
"So you like to eat crayfish." Luo Yu said suddenly.
Luo Zhi paused in his page-turning motion. He looked at the vibrant dish again, a thoughtful expression on his face, and muttered quietly, "So it's called crayfish."
Luo Yu suppressed a smile: "Yeah, in addition to crayfish, there are also big lobsters. I'll take you to see them someday."
Luo Zhi glanced at him, handed the menu to him, and said, "You order. I don't understand what these fancy dishes are."
"..." Luo Yu pursed his lips several times, as if he was making some important decision. He said, "...Can you read?"
These words were really an insult to the handsome and elegant demeanor of Young Master Luo Zhi. Without saying a word, Young Master Luo Zhi closed his eyes. At this moment, his ghost wanted to go back to the underworld to have some peace and quiet.
Luo Yu felt something was wrong. He poked Luo Zhi's arm cautiously, as if touching poison, and whispered, "I don't mean to look down on you. I mean, if you want to learn, I can teach you, for free."
Luo Zhi didn't respond.
At this time, the waiter waved to Luo Yu, indicating that he should come over.
Puzzled, Luo Yu left his chair and walked across to the other side. Then he heard the familiar waiter say, "How does he manage to look so cool in a windbreaker on such a hot day?"
Because he is a ghost.
Luo Yu looked at the handsome face opposite him with his eyes closed and suddenly smirked, "He's pretending to be cool, you can't learn that. Look at the way he closes his eyes, doesn't he look like a statue of a god that cannot be offended? So, this kind of coolness can't be faked casually."
The waitress also looked across, and it was true. After looking for two seconds, she didn't dare to look any further. For some reason, this man in a windbreaker gave people a creepy feeling even with his eyes closed.
She went over and handed the menu to Luo Yu, saying, "Do you want any other dishes besides this crayfish?"
"Yes, yes." Luo Yu randomly marked a few dishes on the menu. He had eaten in this restaurant with his classmates when he was in college, and all the dishes tasted good.
The dishes began to arrive one after another, and Luo Zhi opened his eyes only after they were the only ones left in the private room after the waiter left.
The table that had just been deserted was now filled with a full banquet. Luo Yu took the whole plate of crayfish to the side of his bowl and began to peel the shells. Within a few minutes, half of his bowl was filled with lobster meat.
He pushed the bowl to the ghost next to him.
It was obvious that Luo Zhi was a person who couldn't peel the shell, so Luo Yu could only force herself to be his... boyfriend.
It seems that this is the only identity he can have. After all, he is a man. He can't be a father, nor a mother, and he is even less capable of being an uncle, aunt, or sister-in-law.
Luo Zhi didn't know whether he was moved or thinking about something. He looked at the half bowl of lobster meat that Luo Yu had peeled with his own hands. It took him a long time before he started eating.
Although there were no words of thanks as expected, Luo Yu was not disappointed.
He continued to peel the remaining crayfish, and always stopped to pick up some dishes for Luo Zhi. He fed Luo Zhi as if he was his own child who had wandered for years and finally found his home. He was afraid that he would not have enough to eat, so he kept picking up dishes for him and had long forgotten that he had something else to do.
By the time they finished eating, it was nearly six o'clock. It was past nine o'clock when they got home.
After leaving the parking lot, Luo Zhi and Luo Yu walked along Building 2 of Laixing Community under the dim yellow night lights. Luo Yu was about to speak on the way, but he glanced to the left and suddenly felt a little unhappy.
Luo Zhi left without saying a word.
"Hey, isn't that Luo Yu? Luo Yu!"
Xu Xiaoxia's voice came from the front. Luo Yu squinted his eyes and saw Xu Xiaoxia and Luo Zeping sitting in the pavilion, and Xu Xiaoxia was waving at him.
You have such sharp eyes.
Luo Yu ran over and sat down next to Luo Zeping, saying, "Mom, why are you guys still out so late today? Isn't it better to stay home and enjoy the air conditioning?"
Xu Xiaoxia brushed her hair, clasped her hands and said, "Your dad and I want to go out and have some romance. Do you have any objections?"
"No problem, but what's so romantic about sitting here? You might as well learn from us young people, go to the cinema to watch a movie, then go to the square to dance a duet, come back after the dance, get a little tipsy, and then, hey hey—"
Xu Xiaoxia twisted his ear and said, "And then I'll give you a little sister, right? Hmm?"
Luo Yu shook off Xu Xiaoxia's hand and said with a smile: "How is that possible? I am your son and I care about your health very much, but if you insist on having a baby, then I can't do anything about it."
Luo Zeping couldn't stand it any longer and yelled, "Nonsense!"
Luo Yu shut up obediently.
Xu Xiaoxia kept staring at him. Luo Yu was a little scared and vaguely felt that she wanted to find him for something.
Sure enough, she said in a harsh, high-pitched voice: "Wang Sanpao? Wang Erdan? Wang Sangen???"
"..." Luo Yu adjusted his expression, trying not to reveal any flaws, and continued to act out his morning routine: "Do you remember?"
Xu Xiaoxia laughed angrily. She said, "Why don't you find me a bastard?!"
Damn it, this must have been discovered. As for how it was discovered, Luo Yu guessed that the couple might have been recalling and searching for these three names all day long.
He cleared his throat and said with a playful smile: "Mom, the bastard is right in front of you, why do you need to bring it up?"
"Luo Yu." Luo Zeping suddenly called him.
Luo Yu's heart tightened. Luo Zeping's voice sounded very serious. He, dressed in a suit, didn't hear the solemnity in his tone and continued with his playful expression, saying, "Hey, Dad, I was just joking with Mom..."
"Who is that person with you today? Why don't you dare tell the truth to your parents?" Luo Zeping interrupted him. The look he gave Luo Yu was as sharp as a sword, making Luo Yu feel that if he didn't tell the truth, he would stab him.
But there was no way Luo Yu could tell the truth. He said, "It's a friend I met recently. He came to see me this morning and just..."
"You're lying again!" Luo Zeping interrupted him again, this time with a bit more anger in his tone.
Luo Yu stopped talking and confronted him. He said that this was a friend he had recently met and there was nothing wrong with it. This was normal, but how could Luo Zeping know that he was lying again? They couldn't find out Luo Zhi's identity. So what was the reason?
Luo Zeping took a few deep breaths, as if he was suppressing his anger. After a while, he lowered his voice and said, "Do you know what your friend said when your mother met him this morning?
"He said he just came out of Lao Lin's house. What did you do? Why are you lying?"
So that's the problem.
The Lin family lives next door to the Luo family. Last week, the four members of the Lin family went on a trip abroad and have not returned yet.
Luo Yu was overwhelmed. He never expected that Luo Zhi and Xu Xiaoxia would have such a conversation just before he rushed out to save the situation.
Luo Zeping said, "Making friends is a good thing, but your mom said you haven't been feeling well these past few days. Dad's just worried you might go astray. After all, most people in society are just living under a facade, but what happens after they take it off?"
"Yes, Luo Yu." Xu Xiaoxia interrupted, "Don't let Mom and Dad worry. Tell Mom the truth. How did you get to know this friend? And..."
Xu Xiaoxia's expression suddenly became complicated. "Mom is also dissatisfied with you. Your friend looks eerie and doesn't seem alive at all. And you're hiding his name. Aren't you just going to make us worry?"
"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'll invite him to our house for dinner some other day. He's definitely not a dishonest person in a good-looking appearance." Luo Yugang had already thought of how to respond while Xu Xiaoxia was talking.
"As for why we lied, it's because we..." Luo Yu scratched his head deliberately and continued, "We met online."
"Online?"
"Online?"
Xu Xiaoxia and Luo Zeping spoke at the same time, frowning.
Luo Yu then spoke in a serious tone, as if announcing something: "Yes, we met online. Didn't you two discuss before how many scammers there are online? Many people have been defrauded of their lives and money. I was afraid that you would worry, so I and my friend..."
So he lied to us and my friend. Luo Zeping and Xu Xiaoxia already knew what he was going to say next. They looked at each other, both of them half-believing and half-doubting.
Luo Yu continued, "As for what you said about him not feeling alive, it's because he has a rather cold personality, but he's a very nice person."
There was silence in the pavilion, and no one spoke. The three members of the Luo family each had their own thoughts.
Finally, it was Xu Xiaoxia who broke the silence. She raised her two thumbs, asked them to kiss, and said, "Luo Yu, then you two are meeting in person now."
