Extra 10
The echo effect in the open field was excellent. Jiang Yuanshi's hand quickly moved from his face to Z01's mouth. After covering the other person's mouth, he looked left and right, left with a strong sense of stealth, and got into the car. Under Z01's silent gaze and the consciousness looping in his mind "I want to try", Jiang Yuanshi sat in the passenger seat and acted as a coach.
Fortunately, they had a smooth journey and successfully entered the city at a steady speed. After buying some peanuts and melon seeds at the market, they went straight to the supermarket. Because the prices of vegetables and meat had increased during the Chinese New Year, it was difficult to bargain. After all, people wanted to have a good start or something. No one would bargain when buying vegetables during the Chinese New Year. Jiang Yuanshi and Z01 didn't understand, but it happened that they didn't know how to bargain. In addition, there were not many vegetables on grandma's list, so they simply went to the supermarket and started the bumper car (shopping cart version).
The supermarket was packed and the traffic was in a worrying state, but one of them had just been revived and the other had never been to a supermarket before, so the two of them were shopping happily. It was just that Z01 could see the mask of pain on Jiang Yuanshi's face from time to time, which was rare.
After collecting all the items on the list, the shopping cart was gradually filled with snacks. No matter what Jiang Yuanshi took, Z01 nodded. After all, he had never eaten it before. The food in other mission worlds was from other worlds and had nothing to do with the real human world.
The carts were piled up like a mountain. They usually only went around the supermarket once, but they were forced to go around it two or three times in a compressed time. When they finally checked out, they were at the end of a long line. They even did not forget to check out what was edible on the shelves next to them.
After waiting in line for a while, there were only a few people left in front. They were about to enter the aisle when Z01's eyes fell on a small shelf at the side. The lower layer was filled with candy and chewing gum, and the upper layer was filled with rectangular boxes.
Jiang Yuanshi was blocked by the other party's body and couldn't reach the shelf over there, so he had to lie on the car and his face was scratched by the edge of the packaging bag. After Jiang Yuanshi saw clearly what Z01 was looking at, he fell silent.
But there were too many people and it was hard to say anything, so I could only mentally scold the other person: "Why did you take so long to look at it?"
When Z01 turned his gaze back to Jiang Yuan, he answered in his mind, "I'm thinking about whether to buy it."
"…Why did you buy it? You can't use it."
"But based on our knowledge of the human body, that's safer and more hygienic."
"But I can't be considered completely human now, after all, I have divine powers."
"But your body in the real world will still be affected by reality and return to its essence."
In the past, Jiang Yuanshi might have blushed, but after nearly a year of struggling with a certain creature, he had already become outspoken. He said, "When you created your clone to play with me on the hospital bed, why didn't you consider that I'm human? And are you sure that thing can hold your stuff in the end?"
“………………”Z01 fell silent.
Jiang Yuanshi always found it amusing to see the other person speechless, but Z01 had also evolved significantly, switching from human-machine customer service to other tracks. He spoke in a blur of words: "But the final injection amount remains the same, within your body's tolerance range."
Good job.
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it. As soon as he did, it brought back the memories that Jiang Yuanshi had tried so hard to forget: the bulging belly and the endless flow of liquid, as if it would never end in his lifetime. He wasn't hungry for two days after that, and he also missed the wontons made by his grandmother. He finally managed to stuff one into his stomach, and the rest went into Z01's stomach.
Jiang Yuanshi curled his lips and looked resentful. Z01 obediently made a zipper-zipping motion. They continued to queue. The person in front was already putting things away. They left half of the conveyor belt empty and began to put things in. Z01 was mainly responsible for laying the foundation and arranging the dishes, while Jiang Yuanshi was responsible for pushing the cart, paying, and scanning membership cards. Just as Z01 encountered the shelf again, Jiang Yuanshi's voice came to his mind. He said, "It's not even as big as I can fit in it, is it, brother?"
“Pah—”
"Hey, handsome guy, you dropped your stuff."
Z01 bent down to pick it up and put it back silently. It was their turn now. The waiter started scanning the code. Z01 went to the front to pack his things. Before going up, he glanced at Jiang Yuanshi. The human who said those words was looking at him innocently and purely. When Z01 started to pack his things, the human narrowed his eyes and a fox-like cunning look flashed by.
Z01 silently recorded it and began to work seriously. Jiang Yuanshi was responsible for putting the remaining items in the shopping cart into it, then pushed the cart to Z01 and put the packed bags in the cart. The two cooperated smoothly. After Jiang Yuanshi paid the money, he took the scroll-like receipt and left with Z01.
The two walked side by side as if nothing had happened.
Before leaving, they bought two ice creams and ate them while walking. The air conditioning in the mall was very warm, and the ice cream melted on their hands. After Jiang Yuanshi finished eating, he said, "I'm going to the bathroom to wash my hands."
Z01: "I'm going too."
Jiang Yuanshi looked at the other person's hand. It was clean, nothing on it. Besides, creatures like Z01 didn't need to go to the bathroom. Jiang Yuanshi was puzzled for a moment, and then seemed to realize something. "How about we go home first?"
Z01 said calmly, "But you said stickiness was uncomfortable."
Jiang Yuanshi: "That's what I said, but I don't want to kiss you in the bathroom, thank you. It smells."
Z01: "..."
Just when Jiang Yuanshi thought the other party had nothing to say, he saw Z01 take a step towards him. The next second, a barrier appeared, and Z01 reached out and touched the other party's lips. Jiang Yuanshi subconsciously opened his mouth, and then was kissed thoroughly. There was a constant voice around them, and people walked past them one after another. Jiang Yuanshi's heartbeat accelerated unprecedentedly. Before their lips and tongues parted, Z01 said, "It's gone now."
Jiang Yuanshi wiped the moisture from the corner of his mouth: "..."
[Beep——]
The tricycle is fully loaded with stuff and has to honk its horn from time to time when driving in the city, after all, there are so many people driving in the wrong direction.
The driver Jiang Yuanshi was driving with an expressionless face and a cut on the corner of his mouth. Z01 next to him not only had a cut on his mouth, but also a semicircular tooth mark on his chin. The two of them were taking it very seriously, as if they were facing some big boss, and they only breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the familiar empty road.
Jiang Yuanshi was tired of it. He wiped the sweat off his hands and said, "Come on, come on. I want to kill you."
Z01 stood up silently, let go of his hand, and sat back in the driver's seat.
The car started moving again at a constant speed.
On the way, Z01 said, "Yuanyuan, why are you speeding even when driving a tricycle in the city?"
Jiang Yuanshi was puzzled: "Really? Wasn't I avoiding the vehicles? I shouldn't be able to go any faster."
Z01 is silent, which might be normal if it were in a kart game.
"That doesn't seem to be the main point. How are we going to report back now?" Jiang Yuanshi pointed at his mouth. "My mouth seems to be swollen, and yours too."
Z01: "You can activate mimicry and cover up."
"It's already this time, and you're not willing to erase it." Jiang Yuanshi was shocked, and felt how much Z01 liked to leave marks, and then did as he was told.
The two of them staggered back home at dusk, and their good mood disappeared the moment they saw the two things at the door.
Oh no, there are three. Jiang Yuanshi’s biological parents are holding a little one in their arms.
After Jiang Yuanshi completed the mission, he returned to his body just before his death. Because he became "order" and had the bonus of the host's wish, Z01 could appear without any hindrance. After simulating the form, he caught the person who took the oxygen tube on the spot. Jiang Yuanshi chose to save the surveillance records first and woke up only after everything was ready to expose his parents.
Although there was a heated debate online at the time, and people believed that Jiang Yuanshi's parents had killed their son, it would take time for the trial to begin. During this period, Jiang Yuanshi's parents had not yet been exposed for their evil deeds in the workplace, so they used their connections to get him released on bail. During this period, they came to Jiang Yuanshi for help in an extremely bad tone, and were finally angered by Jiang Yuanshi's determination to appeal, and threatened to sever ties with him. This really did what he wanted, otherwise the case might not have been judged based on the family dispute.
However, Jiang Yuanshi's parents were not fools and did not do so. They just believed that Jiang Yuanshi had no money for treatment and would die soon. As soon as they finished speaking, they were beaten out by Ms. Gu. Later, their evil deeds were exposed, and everyone wanted to beat them like rats crossing the street. The Jiang Yuanshi they were looking for had disappeared long ago.
What do you want to do now?
Jiang Yuanshi parked the car and got out. The couple looked much thinner than before, but their clothes were still brand new and from famous brands, which was completely inconsistent with their current spirit and temperament. When they saw Jiang Yuanshi, they were in disbelief at first, but after seeing him clearly, they changed their expressions and said with a smile:
"Yuanyuan, we finally found you. Do you know how worried we were about you during the year you disappeared?"
"Worried? What are you worried about? Worried that I'm not dead or worried that I haven't received any money in my card? You two must have been worried too during the car accident. You even closed the car door for me, afraid that I would freeze to death that summer. How thoughtful."
Jiang Yuanshi started with a critical attack, not even bothering to be polite. Faced with such an impolite child, the couple immediately took off the mask of love for their son and began to blame Jiang Yuanshi. Faced with their fierce appearance, Jiang Yuanshi suddenly found that he seemed to no longer care about them, no longer needed their expectations, and would not feel sad because of their scolding.
The weather was freezing. He looked down at the children they were holding, their little faces red from the cold. Their parents were still trying every possible way to get money to live a good life. Amidst their chatter, Jiang Yuanshi asked, "So you're saying all this because you think I'm rich again, right? Sorry, my successful recovery was earned by volunteering in an experiment. It didn't cost me a penny, and I don't have any money now."
The couple was stunned, but they quickly pointed at the pile of things in the car and said, "You bought so many things when you have no money? Did you spend your grandmother's money? Shame on you! That's my mother's money!"
Jiang Yuanshi shrugged and said, "That's my grandmother after all. Besides, what's wrong with me spending money? I'm only 19 years old. It's not you guys. After chewing me, you're chewing my grandmother now. It's really unlucky to be your child. I was born so young and still have to act in a play to make money. If I had that energy, I might as well go out and be miserable on the streets. Maybe I could make more money."
"You! How did you become like this? Who did you learn this from?" Their anger had nowhere to vent, so they turned their attention to the stranger in the car with Jiang Yuanshi. They said, "You must be his classmate, right? Look at him, talking to his parents like that. It's better to avoid people like him!"
However, the young man simply said calmly: "But why should he be so kind to a murderer?"
They were stunned: "W-what?"
Z01: "This news has gone viral in our school. Everyone knows that Jiang Yuanshi's parents not only abuse animals but also want to kill their son for money. Furthermore, because of you two, the external project we were working on with Jiang has been suspended. So, shouldn't you compensate us for lost wages?"
Jiang Yuanshi's parents were still unaware when Jiang Yuanshi replied, "Oh, by the way, you should know that part of the money in my card is from a collaboration with someone else, right? It's probably not all spent yet. Remember to exchange it back if you haven't spent it all. Otherwise, I won't be able to help you take legal responsibility. After all, we've severed our relationship. I'm just a complete victim. Oh, and remember to bring my card and spending records to the court hearing."
"What do you mean by severing ties? We never agreed to that!"
Jiang Yuanshi: "I don't know. After all, you've all been released from jail, so it shouldn't be difficult for us to sever our ties."
Jiang Yuanshi was smiling when he said this. His parents had never seen him like that before. They wanted to say something else, but Jiang Yuanshi didn't give them a chance. "Oh, by the way, seeing you standing at the door, you must have been kicked out by Ms. Gu, right? I suggest you leave quickly, otherwise if other villagers show up later, you'll completely lose all the face you've maintained. After all, I conveniently connected the village to the internet today, and everyone knows about the two suspects."
They were indeed furious, but in the midst of their anger they still said, "This house doesn't belong to some Ms. Gu, it's my mother's! Did you lie to your grandmother and sell the house? Huh!? Say something... What's with that expression on your face? How dare you look at me like that!"
Jiang Yuanshi frowned, his expression serious, even a little angry. Just as they were about to rush into the house, his grandmother came out and said, "That's my last name."
“…”
"So you don't even care what your grandma's name is." Jiang Yuanshi looked at their stunned expressions and laughed out loud for some reason. He felt a little neurotic for a moment. It turned out that the love and care he had longed for since he was a child would never appear because they only cared about themselves.
Some people from the village came. They looked at Jiang Yuanshi's parents, their expressions changing from confusion to enlightenment, and then revealing some disgust. They said they would not disturb them and seemed to be going to eat melons.
Jiang Yuanshi's parents couldn't bear such a look and left in shame, thinking of coming back next time. But when they returned home, their house was sealed. When they looked at their accounts, they found that the stock market had plummeted and they were completely bankrupt. Court summonses also followed. It seemed that they would not have a good year.
But Jiang Yuanshi didn't bother to care about these things, after all, they still had to get through.
Jiang Yuanshi and Z01 came into the house, carrying bags and small bags of things. Jiang Yuanshi was constantly being talked about, so he tried to drag Z01 into the water with him, but his grandmother said, "What's she to you? And Xiaozhi is a medical student, so he must be more concerned about his health."
At this time, Z01 appeared at the door with several large gift boxes in his hands, and there was a box of ice cream inside.
grandmother:"……"
Jiang Yuanshi:)
Z01 stood silently at the door, then walked up to Grandma with an extremely serious look. Jiang Yuanshi saw this and understood what the other party wanted to do. He sighed, not expecting the other party to choose this moment. He stood side by side with Z01 and listened to Z01 say seriously, "I'm sorry, Grandma, I'm actually..."
"Formally introducing, grandma, he's my boyfriend."
"I'm here to propose marriage."
Jiang Yuanshi:?
grandmother:!
Jiang Yuanshi was so breathless that he poked the other person and said, "Which TV show did you watch this from?"
Then I quickly said to my grandmother: "Grandma, you know, foreigners' language is a bit jumpy, haha."
Grandma's wrinkles were all stretched out, but seeing the other party's posture, she couldn't help laughing. As the two children looked at each other, she said, "Okay, okay, Grandma knows everything. I don't disagree with you. Relax."
Jiang Yuanshi followed up by saying yes, yes, and then heard his grandmother say, "Xiaozhi, is this a meeting gift from the elders or a betrothal gift?"
Jiang Yuanshi: oO
Z01 calmly replied, "A meeting gift and a dowry."
Grandma was stunned: "Whose dowry is it?"
Z01: "Hello, grandma, I provide □□."
Jiang Yuanshi and Ms. Gu were both stunned, and then Ms. Gu burst into laughter that shook the house, and Jiang Yuanshi really had no idea what to do and could only laugh helplessly.
They had wanted to help with the cooking, but their grandmother sent them out to play. The two of them squatted on the ground in the yard, drawing circles with sticks. Jiang Yuanshi wanted to laugh just looking at Z01's face, and Z01 let him laugh. He thought Jiang Yuanshi would be unhappy, since Z01 seemed to have done the wrong thing, but Jiang Yuanshi just whispered, "You seem to be sending it too early. I'm only 20 after the Lunar New Year, not even the legal age. You're losing out."
Jiang Yuanshi smiled brightly, and Z01 blinked. He said, "It's not a loss, and it never will be."
"Besides, I'm of legal age, so I can marry into the family first."
Jiang Yuanshi:?
The human pulled the inhuman creature's face into an arc, then laughed out loud: "I surrender to you."
On the ground, there were two stick figures, each standing on their own circle, but holding hands together.
