A Beta boy working part-time in another world

Zhou Shan seemed to be thinking about something, and walked leisurely to the kitchen, gently putting down the seasoning box that the boy handed him.

Those rows of expensive seasonings, each one was several times more expensive than what he had just taken.

He didn't care much about it. He slowly finished smoking a cigarette, then took out a box of steak, opened it, and slowly fried it in the pan.

When the phone rang, Zhou Shan had just taken a bite of the steak he had cooked.

The screen displays an incoming call from "Secretary".

After the call was connected, the voice on the other end sounded a little nervous.

"Have you found it?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Zhou, I didn't find it..."

The man was not angry at the secretary's panic.

He already knew that it was impossible to find out.

He asked his secretary to check it out in order to shatter his last fantasy.

"No need to check."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, laughter from next door came through the wall.

The voice was very weak, but it still made Zhou Shan squint his eyes.

He sighed: "Mr. has not changed at all, still so young..."

Zhou Shan doesn't believe that there is such a thing as immortality in the world.

But now I have to believe it.

His husband was still alive and looked the same as he remembered.

.............

The new year is approaching.

The heavy snow started falling suddenly, and in less than a day, the entire city was covered with white snow.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, all you can see is white. Even the evergreen trees in the yard are as white as if they were wearing a thick cotton jacket.

Ye Sui got up early and went to the supermarket outside the community to buy vegetables. He walked unsteadily on the way back. The few pedestrians he passed by occasionally were all in a hurry, rushing to work, and had no time to appreciate the first snow at the end of the year.

He breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his cheeks that were chilled by the cold wind, retracted his gaze, and quickened his pace.

After returning home, Ye Sui put down the bag and took out the key to open the door.

The weather is cold and my hands holding the keys feel a little stiff.

The door of the next room opened and Zhou Shan came out wearing a long black woolen suit with a bunch of car keys in his hand.

The two looked at each other, Ye Sui greeted him and just happened to open the door of his house.

He was in no hurry to go in, and the latter was in no hurry to leave.

"Are you going to buy groceries?" Zhou Shan asked.

"Well, you're going to work?" Ye Sui was surprised.

It's the end of the year now, and it's New Year's Eve in a few days. He really admires her for working so hard.

Zhou Shan did not show a smile behind his glasses, but the doubts in his heart became even greater.

The gentleman does not remember him.

Either he doesn't remember or he doesn't want to recognize him.

Ye Sui carried the things back to the house and closed the door to block out the cold wind from upstairs.

The house is equipped with floor heating, so the air temperature is comfortable.

Ye Sui had just taken off his coat and hung it in the entrance hall when Latim came out of the bedroom to help after hearing the door close.

"The gentleman has been gone for a long time."

"There were a lot of people in the supermarket today, so I was delayed in queuing."

"I thought the roads were slippery and difficult to walk on because of the snow, so I wanted to go find the gentleman." Latim said as he opened the bags and put them into the refrigerator according to their categories.

Ye Sui Ze boiled water in a pot and prepared to process the ingredients.

The house is much quieter now that Lan Rui is away.

After the water in the pot boils, Latim blanchs the cut chicken pieces.

The kitchen is not big, but it is more than enough for two adults to stand.

Soon, breakfast was ready.

After eating a few bites of chicken rice, Ye Sui told Latim.

"New Year's Eve is coming in a few days, let's go buy some New Year's goods together."

"New Year's Eve?" Latim didn't understand what this meant.

In his world, there is no custom of celebrating winter festivals.

Seeing that Latim didn't understand, Ye Sui explained: "About a thousand years ago, there were hundreds of countries on Earth. Our customs originated from a civilization called Huaxia."

Although the so-called national system has disappeared after experiencing countless natural and man-made disasters, some civilizations have continued to this day.

Ye Sui thought of an interesting idea.

"In fact, a thousand years ago, our ancestors were also a two-sex society, and had not yet evolved into the six genders we have today."

Latim was surprised and asked, "Why did it become like this?"

"The earth was polluted, and a large number of women died. Only men were not infected. Over time, scientists began to modify genes, using the characteristics of women being able to reproduce and men being immune to infection to create the world's first Omega boy."

"Since then, human civilization has continued, but problems have also increased, because the children born by Omega boys have six genders, which is unavoidable."

"But for the sake of continuation, we have no choice but to accept this result. Over time, the existence of both sexes disappears."

After hearing Ye Sui's words, Latim was so shocked that he forgot to speak.

"Then sir, what day is New Year's Eve?"

“A day for family reunion.”

Latim thought of Lan Rui. When he left, he also said that he wanted to go back and celebrate the New Year with his family.

"Mr.'s parents?"

He felt that he had gone a little too far in asking this question, and it was too late to take it back.

Ye Sui smiled warmly and explained, "My parents work at the lunar research and development station. They can't come back most of the time, and the time on the moon is different from that on Earth."

Since childhood, Ye Sui rarely saw his parents.

He was raised by his grandparents.

His grandfather died when Ye was in junior high school, and his grandmother died when he was in senior high school.

During the three years in college, Ye Sui had already gotten used to being alone.

After dinner, the two sat on the sofa and watched the falling snow.

Talk about TV from time to time.

After the New Year, he will go to work in another world.

It will take longer to come back next time.

Ye Sui specifically told Latim not to worry if he didn't come back in a day or two.

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.

The whole day, firecrackers were set off in the community.

At night, the gorgeous fireworks are so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off them.

There were only two people at home, so Ye casually took Latim to the community to play with the children.

Latim did not set off any fireworks and soon played with the children.

A group of people were having a great time, walking on the snow and the night.

They played until half past ten in the evening, and then returned home in a mess.

Ye Sui was relatively lucky as he was not hit by the boys, but Latim was much worse off as he was beaten by several kids and was covered in snow. When he returned home and was surrounded by the heater, the snow on his hair melted into water, making it wet.

"Go take a shower, or you'll catch a cold."

"Ok."

Latim obediently went to get a change of clothes.

On New Year's Day, Ye Sui and Latim were eating hot pot when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Who will it be on this day?

Ye Sui opened the door curiously, but he didn't expect that the person standing at the door was his neighbor.

Zhou Shan smiled and handed Ye Sui a box of exquisitely packaged red wine.

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Mr. Zhou." Ye Sui took the gift and asked in surprise, "Are you home alone?"

"Ah."

The gift had been delivered, Zhou Shan turned around to leave, but was stopped by Ye Sui.

"Um...Mr. Zhou, if you don't mind, would you like to have a New Year's hot pot together?"

Zhou Shan turned around and had no intention of going back at all. He walked in naturally at Ye Sui's invitation.

"Then you're welcome."

"You're welcome, eat while you're at it."

Ye Sui closed the door and invited the neighbor to sit down.

"Hold on."

He went to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks before introducing himself to Latim.

The red oil hotpot is hot and spicy, while the clear soup hotpot is fragrant.

Zhou Shan took a bite, and memories flooded into his mind like a river bursting its dam.

That’s it, sir.

Even the taste has not changed.

So, sir, you don't want to recognize him.
