Chapter 50

At the end of December, almost three months have passed.

It hasn't snowed so far this year, and the air is unstoppable, cold and dry.

At about 4:50 in the morning, Shen Ruo walked to the place where he went to work. He was walking on the road, and when he looked up, he could see a few sparse stars, and the sky looked dark.

He rented a house nearby. The plantation plant itself is on the outskirts of the city. It is more convenient to live nearby, and relatively speaking, the rent in the suburbs is also cheaper.

Turning on the light brain, Shen Ruo looked at the list sent to him by the team leader last night. There were workers and robots loading dishes into the car, and he did the same as well.

Shen Ruo, who has been working for two months, is very familiar with these, but he seems to be in a bad state these days.

"Shen Ruo, are you alright?"

The driver of the delivery truck next to him saw that Shen Ruo was absent-minded and his face was not very good, so he couldn't help but ask.

Shen Ruo turned to look at him, and only said, "I'm fine."

As he said that, he smiled lightly. At this time, the robot delivered another basket of vegetables, and the driver next to him, Xilong, also had to count the list. Seeing that Shen Ruo said that it was all right, and that he was no longer distracted, he didn't say anything, the two of them. All started to get busy.

Shen Ruo just got into the car, the seat belt was automatically buckled, the car started, and before it started, the window was knocked.

"When I bought it, I accidentally bought more copies. Here's to you."

Xilong has dark skin and a tall man. He handed Shen Ruo a paper bag, his face turned red, and after he finished speaking, he left and stuffed the bag into the car, not giving Shen Ruo any time to react. .

Shen Ruo was surprised, but Shilong's car drove out of the gate just after he got there, and he had the illusion that he was too shy and ran away in a panic.

Shilong is an unmarried man in this position, three or four years older than Shen Ruo. Shen Ruo sometimes hears from people who work with him that after Shilong's previous girlfriend broke up with him, he never looked for him again. Stuck to make money.

Shen Ruo was able to notice that one or two men here usually take care of him, but when it comes to delivering goods by car, except when they come back to load the goods, the rest of the time is on the road, so there is not much contact.

For their kindness, Shen Ruo could only say thank you politely, and did not have too many conversations and contacts with the other party, because he had no idea in this regard at all.

And the abnormality of Shen Ruo in the past two days is because Chu Xiao is coming out of the army soon.

At the beginning of October, he left Emperor Star, and now it will be January, and in four days, it will be January 1, and it will be New Year's Day.

Shen Ruo didn't know whether Chu Xiao would find him or not. The Duchess had said that she would hide his whereabouts for him, but Shen Ruo was always worried, especially when the time was getting closer.

Chu Xiao has a bad temper, and Shen Ruo also knows that although the Duchess helps him, Chu Xiao has such a temper. If he really wants to find him, maybe he will be able to find him.

Like a shadow, it has been shrouded in his heart these days, for fear of raising his eyes by chance or seeing that grumpy man somewhere.

Even in the dream, it was Chu Xiao, staring at him fiercely, grabbing his wrist and dragging him out of the place where he lived, no matter how hard he struggled, there was no way to get rid of Chu Xiao's control.

Looking at the breakfast bag in his hand now, Shen Ruo was a little bit dumbfounded, he had eaten it when he came.

Most of the drivers are men working, a few are unmarried, or if they get up late, they usually eat something on the road after the earliest batch of goods is delivered, or if the time is not urgent, they will be there. Buy a meal at the roadside breakfast shop and get rid of it quickly.

But Shen Ruo usually got up early, he woke up at four o'clock, and when he settled down here, he bought enough kitchen utensils for the place where he lived.

The rice was put in the rice cooker the night before, and the porridge was already cooked after waking up. He also washed the vegetables the night before, rinsed them with water, cut them and fried them.

When the second uncle's family came to visit him last month, they brought him some pickled dishes from home. Sometimes two eggs are steamed on the other layer of the rice cooker, or scrambled eggs, fried ham, and a few slices of bread.

If you don't drink porridge, just warm up milk. He has lived here alone for two months, and he has begun to gradually get used to cooking. At least such a simple breakfast can be made in a short time.

Shen Ruo didn't know what to do with Shillong's kindness, but he had already eaten breakfast, and these could only be eaten at noon.

Shen Ruo turned on his brain, sent a message to Xilong to say thank you, and then drove out.

The working hours here are ten hours from 5 am to 3 pm.

Generally, restaurants, grocery stores, supermarkets, etc., require delivery before ten o'clock in the morning, or even earlier. If there is a vegetable store in the assigned task, it is basically the first batch to be delivered, because the owner opens early for business.

After that, there are not many places to be sent, just some retail investors, which are scattered in the city, and some places are far away, on the other side of the city.

Depending on the task, it is possible to run until one or two o'clock noon, and sometimes there is an order during non-working hours. If the team leader calls it, they have to come back and deliver it again. However, the overtime pay is not much.

If it’s not three o’clock, they still have to wait in the plantation plant, and they can’t get off work until three o’clock. It is also at this time that the driver who has finished the task sits in the studio and chats a few times.

Because of getting up early and working long hours, the salary of this job is relatively high, which is considered to be moderate.

Shen Ruo has calculated that one month's salary is enough to support his living expenses and rent. Although it can't fall much, this is his first job outside, so let's talk about it first.

Because of the episode of Xilong's breakfast, Shen Ruo temporarily put aside the matter about Chu Xiao, and it is best not to be distracted while driving.

There are only four days left until the New Year, and there are many more orders from the plantation plant these days, especially from various restaurants.

Yesterday, Shen Ruo's delivery didn't end until after five o'clock. It was really tiring to drive all day, and he had to work hard.

——

In Shen Ruo's worries, he never saw Chu Xiao.

On the day before the New Year's Day, the delivery did not end until almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Shen Ruo drove back to the planting factory. Tonight, there is a dinner party for employees in the factory.

Tomorrow is January 1st, and most employees will go home to reunite with their families, so the planting plant is arranged for today.

The vegetables in the planting plant are complete, and the chefs are specially invited to make them. They eat and drink in the plant, and rent tables and chairs, which is much more cost-effective than going to a restaurant.

People from each department sat together, and Shen Ruo sat down with the more familiar driver. After the boss spoke, he started serving dishes without any extras.

It was inevitable to drink while eating, but if Shen Ruo didn't drink it, he poured hot water.

Seriously eat, the chef invited is good, and Shen Ruoan is quiet.

Smile when someone is talking to him, answer a sentence or two, and just sit there and eat when no one talks to him.

When the meal was almost over, the factory also prepared a lottery event. The expensive items were not many, but they were enough to arouse the interest of the employees.

By the time Shen Ruo got up and was about to leave, it was already eight o'clock.

He wasn't so lucky, he didn't draw anything, but he was in a good mood sitting there watching the lively crowd.

"It's too late, I'll take you back."

It was late, and Xilong, who could only sit at another table, walked in front of Shen Ruo, scratching the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, but it's only ten minutes away, very close."

Seeing this, Shen Ruo could only smile lightly, wanting to reject him, one is that the distance is short, and the other is that Shen Ruo doesn't want to develop anything in this area now.

If he refused earlier, nothing else would happen. Besides, the matter of Chu Xiao still made him uneasy. After all, it had only been three months.

"It's too late, this is the suburbs, it's winter again, you are a subhuman..."

Shilong held back for a while before finding such a reason. Because of Shen Ruo's rejection just now, he looked a little lost.

"Just let him send you off. In this winter, the lights outside the factory are dim."

A few familiar drivers heard the conversation between Xilong and Shen Ruo, and they knew that Xilong was trying to show affection, and they had a good relationship, so they persuaded Shen Ruo.

There were so many people, and Shen Ruo couldn't talk about them alone. In the end, Shilong, who was relatively simple and honest, was insisting, so he could only agree.

The light outside the plantation was really dim. Shen Ruo and Xilong walked to the residential area where he lived, and they were speechless for a while.

After thinking about it, when Shen Ruo was about to arrive, she still opened her mouth and wanted to make it clear to Shiron.

"Xilon." Shen Ruo stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Xilong felt a little excited and nervous for Shen Ruo to take the initiative to talk to him.

"That, I..."

It was the first time to reject someone, but Shen Ruo didn't know what to say. He had never had any troubles in this area before, maybe it was because he was young and grew up together in the town where he lived, and they were just friends.

Seeing that Xilong had been waiting for him, Shen Ruo sighed in his heart. He understood what Xilong's gesture meant, so he could only refuse directly.

"You are very good, but I have no plans for this for the time being. Work is more important to me now..."

Trying to ease his tone, Shen Ruo rejected someone for the first time. He didn't know if what he said was right or not, and whether it would embarrass Shilong.

In the short two-month relationship, he knew that Shillong was an honest man who was warm-hearted but not very good at words.

"Sorry, I just wanted to tell you, not to delay you."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Ruo felt very uneasy, so she whispered an apology to him.

Hearing what Shen Ruo said, Shiron was silent for a while, but he soon grinned.

"It's okay, I see, I'll take you back."

In fact, after hearing what Shen Ruo said, Shilong wasn't too surprised after the silence, after all, they had only known each other for two months.

Besides, he's just at the stage of showing affection. It's reasonable that Shen Ruo doesn't have feelings for him. His ex-girlfriend didn't like him at first, but she agreed to be with him later. scattered.

Shen Ruo had indeed never expressed that kind of expression to him. He spoke politely and distantly. In fact, Shilong understood it.

When Shen Ruo first came, he knew that he was single. Shilong looked at this obedient and quiet demi-human, and he was good-looking, so he slowly became interested, but tonight, Shen Ruo smothered his mind.

I have to say that Shilong was still a little sad, but seeing Shen Ruo's anxious eyes, he still chose to smile. The simple-looking man was more polite and gentleman. He took Shen Ruo to the door of the residential area and watched him go in. , both of them waved at each other.

When Shen Ruo returned to the rented house, Shilong should have understood what he meant just now, and this matter could be put down.

However, he was still uneasy. Chu Xiao's three-month military training should have ended.

——

Military base.

Just after Chu Xiao returned to the lounge after a whole day of high-altitude training, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Three months of high-intensity training made him lose weight all over, and he grew taller. Eighteen-year-old boys could have continued to grow.

Chu Xiao, who was only wearing a vest, was thin, but his smooth and firm muscles were full of explosive power. His eyes were more gloomy than before he came to the army, and he didn't talk much.

When he first came here, Chu Xiao was the most famous thorn, and he never changed after repeated teachings.

Because he was too disobedient to the order, Chu Xiao was punished to fight with other people, but he was only one person, and there were many people on the opposite side.

When he was beaten by the group, his eyes were gloomy, and he had never been soft. He was injured after hanging up. The person who injured him was equally bad, even more serious than him. At one time, he was the most troublesome recruit for all the instructors, and he even had a place to live. They all changed him to a single room, so that he would not injure others after a conflict.

Chu Xiao has always wanted to leave, and in the first week he was here, he tried to escape.

During the training, he kept observing the surroundings, and within a few days, he found out the regularity of the changing of the guard. On the day when the training ended relatively early, he dived out at night, unloading the guns of the soldiers guarding the guard all the way, and knocking them down. a lot of people.

When Chu Xiao was discovered, he had already run out of the camp, intercepted a military vehicle and drove to the parking lot.

In the end, Chu Xiao was pointed back by dozens of guns. His arm was injured. It was the instructor who fired after asking Duke Chu for instructions. Otherwise, Chu Xiao would have really robbed the aircraft.

The story of escaping spread among the instructors. Some instructors who taught recruits reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance courses studied his escape route and found that Chu Xiao was using it well. This troublesome negative example is being applied.

After taking off his vest and other clothes, Chu Xiao entered the bathroom.

The heat spread in the bathroom. The bathroom was not as big as where he used to live, and the drying system was not even designed, but he was used to it.

He came out with only a bath towel around his waist. His muscles were smooth and firm, with perfect proportions. Chu Xiao wiped his hair with a towel with one hand.

Water droplets flowed down the side of his face, and the wet broken hair on his forehead looked sexy. He was handsome and handsome, and the outline of his face became deeper and more three-dimensional after losing weight.

He is undergoing some changes, his sharp-edgedness is showing, his brows are more vigorous, and his eyes are depressed and gloomy.

These changes, which didn't seem to be very good, made him look more mature than before, and he was no longer the overly playful Hua Hua.

The light brain placed on the table sounded, Chu Xiao walked over and sat on the chair, and then swiped the light screen that popped up in front of him, he untied the pressure, and it was a few photos.

Shen Ruo was walking with a man on the road, and the man took him back to where he lived.

On this communication interface, there were many photos of Shen Ruo before.

There is the scene when Xilong gave him a breakfast bag two days ago, and the scene where he was laughing with the man named Luo Yi at the back door of the hotel, and there was even a city-wide road map of Shen Ruo's delivery.

These are passed in encrypted, bypassing the military system.

Chu Xiao has a lot of property left by his biological mother, as well as several research institutes, all of which were raised with money. If he could not even get a few advanced encryption channels, he would have disbanded the research institute.

Still holding a hair towel in his hand, Chu Xiao sat there and punched the wall next to him. His face was gloomy, and the anger in his heart could hardly be suppressed.

This is the case every time. As long as the photos about Shen Ruo are sent, many of them are pictures of him with other men, and even talking and laughing with other men, it seems that he is living a good life.

To attract bees and butterflies, without shame!

In only three months, Shen Ruo let him seduce other men outside.

When she was forcibly brought here, she didn't arrest Shen Ruo as soon as she left. Every time Chu Xiao looked at these photos, he almost went crazy.

When Shen Ruo was not here, he was holding a rage in his heart, and he was in a state of immediate explosion, so he often refused to accept discipline during training, and some violent conflicts occurred.

Chu Xiao got up and put on his clothes. He didn't rest and went directly to the training room. After he left, a robot came in to repair the depression on the wall.

In the past few days, he has been suffocating another evil fire, because the time of military training has increased, and he happened to be on the selected list.
