Chapter 38

It was already afternoon when Lin Si woke up.

After opening and closing his eyelids several times, he slowly regained his sight and remembered everything that happened last night and this morning.

It seemed like I had a very busy dream.

Originally, he was supposed to be on his way to a business event at this point, but he canceled it temporarily because of Bai Fan.

Not only today, but also the activities for the next two days have been cancelled.

Lin Si suddenly felt a sense of desolation like being unemployed. He turned sideways and touched his cell phone.

A bunch of information was pushed on the screen, and he slid his fingertips to look down one by one.

Liao Ji: "I'll take a two-hour break. If you have any emergency, just call me."

Xu Xiangyang: "Fortunately, it's solved. Let's go out to eat when it's convenient for you."

Lu Nan: "Let me tell you a shocking secret! You have been invited to star in Director Ye's movie!"

Lu Nan: "Brother, please put hahaha on the screen."

Lu Nan: "In wind or rain, the studio is waiting for you."

Y: "Good afternoon."

Lin Si remembered yesterday's hasty farewell and replied to Y: "I received an urgent call yesterday."

Lin Si: "Then I was busy all night and only slept for two or three hours."

Lin Si: "Wrongful Baba.jpg"

Y was probably busy and didn't reply immediately. Lin Si rolled around and lay down on his face, asking him in advance: "Are you free tonight?"

Lin Si thought for a while and took a lesson from Lu Nan: "No matter the wind or rain, Queenstown is waiting for you." Then he imitated an emoticon he saw a few days ago and said: "I am my brother's Erguotou.Well-behaved and top-notch.”

After he finished posting, he laughed for a long time, tossing and turning, and finally looked up at the ceiling and thought, I wonder if Y heard the "I like you" that he didn't finish last night.

If he didn't hear it, he would say it again until Y heard it.

There were rustling footsteps in the living room. Lin Si got up and went out to take a look. It was Aunt Li whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lin." Aunt Li put down the food in her hand.

Lin Si said "Hello Aunt Li", went back to the room, changed clothes and came out again.

"Mr. Lin, all the dishes you want are here." Aunt Li said, "Do you want me to help you cook dinner?"

Lin Si shook his head: "It's okay, I can do it myself."

"Okay," Aunt Li asked again, "Is there anything Mr. Lin needs me to do?"

Lin Si shook his head and sat back on the sofa. Thinking of something to chat about, he turned around and was about to speak when he found Aunt Li standing behind and looking at him.

Aunt Li moved her eyes away hastily, and Lin Si pursed her lips and smiled: "Auntie, what can I do?"

"No," Aunt Li took the rag and wiped it and said, "I just happened to see Mr. Lin's news on the Internet today."

Lin Si raised his hand to cover his eyes.

It’s true that good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles...

"Mr. Lin doesn't need to stay with me outside. Mr. Lu said you didn't sleep yesterday and told me not to disturb you," Aunt Li said, "I will be very quiet."

"Did Lu Yan say that?" Lin Si asked.

Aunt Li pushed the chair, picked up the basket next to the coffee table, and said, "Well, Mr. Lu called me this morning."

Lin Si nodded slowly and asked, "By the way, Auntie, what does Lu Yan taste like?"

"Mr. Lu doesn't eat spicy food, and he doesn't eat too salty food. It's better to keep it light. There are no other taboos."

"Yeah." After Lin Si asked, he got up and walked to the room. Aunt Li, who was also at the coffee table, paused her hands and took a breath through her nose.

After the door to Lin Si's room closed, Aunt Li took a look at the leftover breakfast they had and found no milk in it.

But she did smell a nice milky fragrance when Lin Si was approaching, which gave her the illusion that the person she passed by was not a twenty-year-old young man, but a soft baby..

In the room, Lin Si was forced to lie on the bed. He was thinking about this and he inadvertently lamented that Lu Yan had been really good to him recently, like he started giving small gifts to show his joy after making a new friend.

The favorability level gradually increased like a straight line lying on the ground. Although it did not increase as fast as the exponential function, it also made Lin Si feel that Lu Yan had a thoughtfulness and tenderness hidden under Lu Yan's cold appearance.

This feeling is like opening a small metal ball and bursting out of it are broken rose petals that cannot be held with both hands.

Lin Si didn't think about Lu Yan for long. Although Lu Yan was a new friend, it didn't occupy a large part of his thoughts day and night.

Probably because he had slept too long before, Lin Si was not sleepy. He couldn't find the script of "Leaning on the Car Window" at the moment. He thought lazily that if Bai Fan didn't have anything to do with him, he would still be working today, so it means that he has been working for the past two days.Time is free, you can take a break.

At worst, let Liao Ji send the script over tomorrow...

Freed from the constraints of his thoughts, he happily took out the virtual glasses and headphones on the bedside, put them on, and opened the bubble.

The virtual world loads, and the first screen is the ceiling of the bedroom in the rental house.

Lin Si turned his head and saw Y lying next to him with eyes closed, he curled up his lips and smiled.

Y is not online, but still maintains the same actions as when she was offline, holding his hand and moving her upper body close to him, as if lending him a shoulder to lean on.

Lin Si thought that while Y was asleep, someone at home still had to go out to make money, so he went out to see what jobs were available in the virtual world.

It’s unimaginable… There are so many ways to make money!

When you go to a restaurant, you can apply for a job as a store manager, a waiter, or a chef. When you go to a school, you can apply for a job as a teacher or even a principal. You can choose from all kinds of weird and weird careers in all walks of life.

Lin Si enthusiastically applied for a job he was interested in - a stinky tofu chef.

According to the operating instructions, he pressed the button to control the oil temperature and frying time. According to the interviewer's taste, he added onions, coriander, chili pepper, soy sauce and vinegar, and served up a portion of stinky tofu that was full of color, flavor and flavor.

"It's unqualified. It was fried for too long and the tofu is old." The interviewer said.

Lin Si failed X1.

He tried a second job as an elementary school music teacher.

"Please sing the song as requested."

It was an old song that Lin Si had heard before. He hummed it gently and got a high score of 990.

"Sorry, the required score is not reached." The interviewer said, "I forgot to mention that the full score is 1000."

"...Is this still a job that humans can do?!"

Lin Si failed X2.

He then applied for many high-paying jobs, but failed.

Lin Si, who was severely beaten by the small society in the virtual world, left the sad place in despair and returned to a small restaurant downstairs of his home, where he applied for a job as a waiter with a broken heart.

Unexpectedly, the waiter interview only requires pressing the button and keeping the plate on the head without falling.

He was hired just like that, and the store owner enthusiastically informed him that he would start working tomorrow.

"..."

Lin Si silently shed tears of sadness, as if he had bargained down to the lowest price in his heart, only to regret it when the boss readily agreed, feeling deeply that he had been cheated.

The small microphone under Y's profile picture in the upper right corner suddenly turned green, and then Y's voice appeared in my ears.

"Are you up?"

Lin Si cried and complained to Y outside the small restaurant: "Why did you come here! I applied for a job!"

Y's laughter was very soft: "Why are you still crying after applying for a job?"

"I applied for a job as a waiter in a restaurant..." Lin Si pretended to cry aggrievedly at him, "I applied for many jobs, but they all didn't want me..."

"Idiot." Y called him in a low voice.

Lin Si: "You scolded me..."

"Did you not read the system prompts before applying?" Y said. "The longer you enter the virtual world, the higher your residence level will be, and the higher your success rate in applying for high-level jobs. You only lived for one day, so the probability of passing the interview is very high."Low, in addition, there is labor value accumulation, and when the work reaches the time, it will automatically upgrade and assign high-level jobs to players."

Lin Si lowered his lips and said, "Okay, but the waiter's salary is too low. It's only 5 gold coins a day. The two of us can earn back the daily rent by working together..."

Y said: "There is another way to make money quickly."

Lin Si's eyes lit up: "What, what, what?!"

Y: "I'll tell you tonight."

Lin Si: "...Why are you like this?"

Y smiled muffledly: "I just finished the work at hand and am ready to go home. I will go home to play with you."

Lin Si pursed his lips and said, "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

"Did you hear what I said last night?" Lin Si asked him.

Y was silent for a few seconds and said, "I didn't hear everything."

"Oh." Lin Si said.

"What did you say?" Y asked him.

Lin Si: "I'll tell you tonight!"

Y, who was suddenly hit by revenge, said helplessly: "Okay."

After Y went offline, Lin Si went back to the rental house, sat on the edge of the bed, reached under the quilt and held Y, and then took off his glasses and headphones.

There was a layer of night gray in the bedroom. Lin Si blinked and realized that it was already late. He jumped out of bed and heard the patter of rain hitting the window.

It's already past six o'clock.

Time passed so fast in the virtual world that he had forgotten to cook. Fortunately, Lu Yan hadn't gone home yet.

The rain on the spring night brought a chill. Lin Si felt the coldness on his arms when he left the room. He changed into a thicker sweater, rolled up his sleeves on his forearms, went into the kitchen and started to deal with the ingredients neatly.

After cooking the meal for two people, Lin Si put the pan-fried tofu that Lu Yan ordered for last. He washed the ribs, put cold water into the pot, added ginger slices and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, boiled it and blanched it, took it out and washed it.net.

When they were putting the stew pot away, the door opened. Lin Si ran out with a wooden spoon and took a look. Lu Yan was lowering his head to change his shoes, holding the long handle of the black umbrella in his hand. Hearing Lin Si's voice, he raised his headEyes met with his.

His eyes were bottomless, and combined with the damp smell brought by the rain on his body, it made people feel like "I must have spent a lot of effort to get home successfully on a rainy day."

Lin Si took a step closer and reached out: "Give me the umbrella?"

Lu Yan handed him the umbrella and asked again: "Is the fire turned off?"

"I'm stewing pork rib soup, it's okay." Lin Si began to remove the plastic cover on the outside of the umbrella, walked to the balcony, bent down, opened the umbrella, and hung it outside to dry.

Lu Yan stood in the entrance hall without moving for a long time, looking at the apron lanyard near the glands on Lin Si's neck and the half bow tied loosely at the back of his waist.

Lin Si finished drying his umbrella and ran back. As he walked to the kitchen, he said, "I lost track of time while playing on my phone. It may take half an hour before I can eat."

"It doesn't matter." Lu Yan said.

Lin Si bent his waist and used the blade of a knife to remove the shrimp threads. When he got to the fifth shrimp, Lu Yan changed into home clothes and stood at the door of the kitchen.

"Do you want my help?" Lu Yan asked.

Lin Si looked at him in embarrassment: "How about I do it myself?"

Lu Yan stopped talking. He took some fruit out of the refrigerator, washed it and put it in a bowl. Lin Si put the salted shrimps on a plate. Lu Yan handed him a piece of orange flesh, and Lin Si took it and put it in his mouth., ate it whole.

Lin Si cut a cross on the mushroom, and Lu Yan thought he was very skillful.

Lin Si cut the lotus roots into cubes, and Lu Yan felt that each piece was cut very neatly.

Lin Si's pan-fried tofu was out of the pan, and Lu Yan was hungry.

"Okay, do you want some soup first?"

Lin Si's arms were hanging high, holding up a wooden spoon. Just waiting for Lu Yan to say a word, he would put it into the stew pot and get out a bowl of fragrant and delicious pork rib soup.

"Um."

As expected, the thin white arm moved downwards, turning the wooden spoon with the wrist, filling the porcelain bowl half full twice in a row.

"Auntie said you like it lighter, so I didn't make any meaty dishes." Lin Si gave him the bowl.

Lu Yan took all the dishes and put them on the table, and arranged them very neatly with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The bottom of the plate was strictly placed in the middle of the pot.

Lin Si was already hungry, so he wiped his hands and prepared to sit down.

"Wait." Lu Yan called him.

"Um?"

Lin Si supported the solid wood dining table with his hands, stopped moving and looked at Lu Yan.

The next second, he felt the single bow on the back of his waist being pulled away with gentle force.

The author has something to say: a small piece of theater that has nothing to do with the main text——

One day, Lin Si asked Lu Nan: What does your brother taste like?

Veteran driver Lu Nan: That’s too strong. I like the ones with tails and student uniforms.

Novice driver Lin Si:?(A question mark indicates confusion)
