Extra 9
It's so crowded.
A lot of humans.
Z01, who was trapped in the crowd and could hardly move, thought expressionlessly.
As the Spring Festival was approaching, Jiang Yuanshi had planned to say goodbye to his grandmother in advance and prepare to take Z01 back home. However, his grandmother seemed to be a prophet and had already bought three train tickets early, and the date she chose happened to be the peak period of the Spring Festival travel rush. Jiang Yuanshi had wanted to discuss leaving early with his grandmother, but his grandmother believed that one more day of recuperation was the better, and after he had recovered, he could go home to celebrate the New Year and enjoy delicious food.
It made sense. Z01 was easily persuaded to change sides. Jiang Yuanshi was speechless. He really wanted to say that he couldn't eat spicy food, but his grandmother gave an example: "The spicy food of spicy strips is also spicy. Don't you want to eat it?"
Although Jiang Yuanshi had been eating and drinking lavishly in the system space, he still said, "...I want to."
After all, I have never eaten it in the real world, and I always feel that eating snacks also depends on the environment.
Then it became what it is now.
The station was packed with people carrying bags and bags, it was very crowded, but the old man was still quite happy and said he hadn't seen so many people for a long time and it was really lively.
Jiang Yuanshi nodded, and Z01 nodded with a greeting above his head.
In order to prevent the grandmother from getting hurt, they started the train. Ms. Gu stood in the front with crutches. Jiang Yuanshi protected Ms. Gu behind her, holding a folding cart in his hand. Z01 protected Jiang Yuanshi behind him, carrying a bag and dragging a suitcase.
The three of them slowly moved forward to the vicinity of the ticket gate. Jiang Yuanshi unfolded the folding cart in his hand, which instantly became a folding chair. Ms. Gu sat down. Jiang Yuanshi helped her sit on the suitcase pushed by Z01. He turned his head and whispered, "I'll sit for a while, then you take over."
Z01 shook his head and said, "No, I'm not tired."
Jiang Yuanshi frowned and said in disbelief: "Is this true? Aren't you tired carrying so many things?"
Z01 replied: "After all, I am not a human, and with the blessing of divine power, it doesn't matter."
Jiang Yuanshi was stunned: "What about me?" He also has divine power, but sometimes he still feels tired. Is it because he was originally set to be a human?
Z01 replied through consciousness: "You just retain human perception. You will feel tired after walking for a long time, and you will want to eat after a long time. It can be said to be muscle memory. If you use your strength at this time, you can eliminate this perception, and you will only feel tired, but you can continue to function while being tired."
To put it simply, it has low energy but permanent endurance. What kind of useful beast is this?
Jiang Yuanshi looked up at the sky helplessly, then he remembered something and glanced at someone with a little...resentment in his eyes?
Z01 has begun to learn to see colors, and answered seriously in his mind: "At that time, I always got your tacit consent."
Jiang Yuanshi, who understood what was happening, curled his lips and whispered, "Did you give me a chance to speak?" while pinching the back of Z01's hand.
Z01 felt a slight pain, but he enjoyed it.
Jiang Yuanshi didn't want to say anything when he saw the people's expressions. He turned around and talked to his grandmother...well...grandmother was staring at them.
Jiang Yuanshi subconsciously smiled to act cute, and the grandmother shook her head helplessly and said that she wanted to eat grilled sausages. Z01, who received the order and was ready to become a regular partner, was well versed in the guidelines for becoming a regular partner for humans, and volunteered to go buy the sausages.
Although Z01 did not feel the cold, in order to fit in and experience human life, he wore the long black down jacket, work pants, and sneakers that Jiang Yuan bought for him, and easily blended into the crowd. He looked no different from a human and looked like a college student.
Ms. Gu looked at her grandson's head and said, "People just go buy a grilled sausage, and they still can't get enough of it."
Jiang Yuanshi touched his head and said, "No, isn't it because he is a foreigner and you are worried that he will get lost?"
Grandma snorted, "When it comes to getting lost, we're second to none."
Jiang Yuanshi spoke up for himself: "I still know the way, and I remember the places to eat pretty well."
Listening to Jiang Yuanshi talking about his experience of finding his way, Ms. Gu couldn't help but sigh in her heart that her grandson had grown up after all, and was different from what she remembered, so she had to learn from him all over again.
But fortunately, the wish is still the wish, and this has not changed.
Ms. Gu hooked her fingers together, and Jiang Yuanshi lowered his head and moved closer to his grandmother, who patted him like a puppy. Jiang Yuanshi heard his grandmother say, "Okay, okay, our Yuanyuan has grown up and become more powerful."
"It's okay, it's just okay." Jiang Yuanshi hummed.
"So when will you introduce Dr. Xiaozhi to me?" Grandma asked this out of the blue. Jiang Yuanshi said as if he had been prepared for it, "Aren't we bringing him back for the New Year? What a coincidence, he and I have the same birthday, so we can celebrate the Spring Festival together."
During this period of time, grandma has a thorough understanding of Doctor Jiang Zhi. He looks young, but when asked, he is 23 years old. He is a doctor who has been studying for a doctorate and a genius as a child. His parents died when he became an adult and he lived on his own. He is meticulous in dealing with people and things, knowledgeable and rigorous, has a photographic memory, and has superb medical skills.
He is a very capable child, but this is not the perfect standard for a lover. After all, when she first met him, she thought he was emotionally indifferent, until Ms. Gu saw with her own eyes how he was with Jiang Yuanshi. She couldn't describe that expression, but it was as if no one could get between them.
Ms. Gu struggled internally, but when she saw her grandson, who had been pretending nothing had happened and trying to please her cautiously like an adult, suddenly smiled brightly and defenselessly in front of her, she suddenly came to her senses.
As long as Jiang Yuanshi is happy.
Grandma read the gay encyclopedia overnight. When she saw her children who loved each other being oppressed by the secular world and forced by their family members, she simply changed her position and looked up countries where marriage was allowed and there was no discrimination. She didn't have much money, so she could only afford to send them abroad to get a marriage certificate, but Jiang Yuanshi and Dr. Xiaozhi could earn money, so grandma was prepared to do everything she could. She would scold anyone who caused trouble.
Jiang Yuanshi didn't know what Ms. Gu was thinking. If he knew, he would probably feel guilty about Xiaoyu. After all, she had been crying secretly since she was a child. That was why Ms. Gu didn't tell him.
Ms. Gu touched Yuanyuan's head, rubbed her hair, and stroked Jiang Yuanshi's skin with her rough hands. It seemed that the skin care products she bought for her grandmother were useless. She should add some more magic power. Jiang Yuanshi was distracted when he heard his grandmother say, "Then is our Yuanyuan happy with him?"
Jiang Yuanshi hummed twice and replied, "Happy. I like him very much."
"Look at you, you're so worthless." Grandma laughed. Jiang Yuanshi took the opportunity to look up and whispered, "Have you ever been angry?"
After all, in the eyes of the older generation, they are not normal.
Grandma tapped Jiang Yuanshi's forehead and said, "No, grandma won't be mad at you for this kind of thing, but I will be mad at you for enduring the pain. The last time you had stomachache after eating glutinous rice balls and your face turned pale, you said it was okay, you almost pissed me off and gave me high blood pressure."
Jiang Yuanshi said in a nagging manner: "It disappeared later on."
Grandma: "Isn't that because Dr. Xiaozhi is so strict?"
Jiang Yuanshi didn't say anything. He got down from the suitcase and squatted at the old man's feet like a little animal, acting silly and making the old man laugh.
Z01 stood not far away, holding four grilled sausages, and listened to the whole thing expressionlessly. Jiang Yuanshi's words "I like him very much" kept repeating in his mind.
Z01's happiness was expressionless, so when he was standing in the crowd holding a bag of sausages, he was almost mistaken for a sausage seller. However, because the seller was too tall and looked very expensive, he did not dare to approach him. After watching the seller walk towards the old lady and the male college student, some people were glad that they did not go up to him and make a fool of themselves.
The crowd at the station was complex and bustling, but Jiang Yuanshi and Z01's appearance was still very eye-catching. While waiting to enter the station, they were mistaken for unknown idols. But if they look like this and are still unknown, then there is really no hope for the domestic entertainment industry.
Someone else wanted to come up and ask for the number, but on the one hand, the elders were there, and on the other hand, the two college students looked... their relationship was very delicate. After all, they were too cautious, which made them look nothing like brothers or friends. Moreover, the two of them were very close to each other, and it seemed that the parties involved were completely unaware.
After Jiang Yuanshi finished eating a sausage, another one was handed to him. He was stunned and turned around and said, "So you're not eating it yourself?"
Z01 was also stunned: "I thought you wanted to eat two, after all, this is a rare opportunity."
"Indeed, that makes sense." Jiang Yuanshi said, and then said regretfully, "But it's a pity, I get carsick, and I ate too much for breakfast, so you eat it."
It turns out that Yuanyuan is a human who gets carsick. Z01 silently noted this and said, "You can block your perception."
"But I haven't taken a car for a long time, and I miss it a little."
There's nothing we can do about it.
But in order to ensure that Yuanyuan, who was carsick, would not miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eat sausage in real life, Z01 chose to save the sausage to the space and eat it when he had time.
Jiang Yuanshi: "That's not necessary."
Z01 said confidently: "I saw a comment from a human saying that the same food can produce different feelings in certain environments."
Having said that, has anyone ever said that the sausages at the station are very expensive and whether they taste good or not is random, although they were lucky this time and they tasted very good.
Forget it. Jiang Yuanshi did not criticize the other party's behavior. He just muttered: "If you say that, I will take you to the gate of my elementary school next time. The snacks there are better and full of junk food happiness."
Z01: "Okay."
Unconsciously, they once again made a new agreement.
Get in the bus.
Jiang Yuanshi and his companions sat in a row, which was exactly three seats. The experience of the high-speed train was good, but it was not so good after they transferred to the green-skin train. The smell in the train made Jiang Yuanshi dizzy and he couldn't help feeling nauseous and wanted to vomit. In the end, the experience ended and the barrier was opened to isolate everyone. However, the human was still in the recovery period, so he simply covered his head with his coat, leaned on Z01's shoulder, and buried his nose in the other's neck, as if he was going to stay there and never come out.
Z01 followed the instruction, pressed his thumb on Jiang Yuanshi's base of the thumb, replaced the motion sickness patch on him, and activated the refreshing and purifying mode.
A few hours later, they got off the station and got on an open-top tricycle. Jiang Yuanshi came back to life again. It seemed that he liked open-top tricycles.
Z01 thought so while curled up in the car.
My grandmother and the driver were from the same hometown. They were sitting in the double driver's seat and chatting. Jiang Yuanshi boldly sat beside the car. Seeing the huge Z01 huddled inside, looking weak and helpless, he moved over and asked, "Are you scared?"
Z01 said seriously: "This position is the safest and it is not easy to get hurt."
Jiang Yuanshi:?
is that so?
"Well, luckily it's not autumn, otherwise I might have advised you." Z01 asked why, and Jiang Yuanshi replied, "Because the scenery is a bit bare in winter? But the air still smells good."
Z01 sniffed the air. The smell of firewood and coal in the wilderness mixed with the cold moisture made him feel a little intoxicated after smelling it for a long time.
The cold wind blew on their faces. Jiang Yuanshi put on the hat for the other person, fastened the strap, and then put it on himself. He huddled next to Z01, and the two of them huddled together. Jiang Yuanshi said in an inexplicably childish way, "It will be warmer if we stick together. We can block the wind for each other."
But today the wind was blowing from one direction, so Z01 didn't say anything. They just leaned their heads against each other and looked at the distant scenery together.
The styles of houses in the countryside vary, and each family has its own preferences. Ms. Gu's house is a typical Jiangnan style, with pink walls and black tiles. The house is very clean, probably because her grandmother asked the villagers to help clean it. However, uninhabited houses often have a unique smell that is hard to describe, but as soon as you come in and smell it, you'll know that no one has lived in this house for a long time.
Jiang Yuanshi subconsciously glanced at the floor when he entered the room. It was clean and there was nothing on it. Z01 followed behind him and asked, "Do you want to raise a puppy?"
Jiang Yuanshi smiled and shook his head: "No, it's probably the subconscious of the parallel world, but I'm fine now."
He turned around, pinched Z01's ear and said, "I already have a puppy, and I promised to pay for the life of a certain puppy. I can't fall in love with someone else."
Z01 blinked, barked quietly when no one was around, and kissed Jiang Yuanshi's eyes again. Jiang Yuanshi reciprocated the gesture and kissed the corner of his mouth.
After cleaning the house, grandma dragged out her tricycle and prepared to take the two to the city to buy New Year's goods, but an acquaintance happened to come to visit, and grandma couldn't leave for the moment, so she introduced them to the acquaintance: "This is my grandson Jiang Yuanshi, and this is my reserve grandson Jiang Zhi."
People were completely confused by what she said, and grandma didn't explain. She simply made a list for the two little ones who were standing obediently beside her. After making sure that they could drive, she let them drive the tricycle to buy New Year's goods by themselves.
"If you want to eat any snacks, buy them yourself. Come back early. It's not safe at night, you know? Contact me by phone."
Jiang Yuanshi drove away with his Z01 in the passenger seat, waving goodbye.
Along the way, Z01 studied the tricycle seriously. Seeing that he was eager to try, Jiang Yuanshi decided to change drivers midway.
What you learn from books is always superficial. Understanding and learning are two different things.
After Z01 gently gripped the handle and drove the car into the ditch with a "Fuck!" sound, Jiang Yuanshi hurriedly took out his camera from the space to record it and laughed. Z01 looked around expressionlessly, confirmed that there was no one there, then lifted the car with one hand and put it back on the road.
Jiang Yuanshi exclaimed “Wow” and clapped like a seal.
Z01: (I_I) (Close)
Jiang Yuanshi retreated silently, and Z01 moved forward.
Jiang Yuanshi accelerated, Z01 accelerated.
The chase is about to begin.
Soon after——
"Hey! Stop biting my face! Are you a dog?"
"Woof!" Very loud.
Birds and beasts were startled and scattered, and the sound of dogs barking echoed in the air.
Jiang Yuanshi:!
