Store Manager's Hell

"The quilt is covered, and the feet are put back. Have you brushed your tooth?"

"Well, I ate hazelnut cake tonight, and if I don't brush my teeth, there will be moths."

"Huh? Want to listen to fairy tales?"

"Will Dad read to you when I call you?"

"Don't listen to it? Are you bored after listening to it so many times? Well, okay, then I'll tell a new story, but I only tell one, and I have to go to sleep after listening to it, huh?"

There is a fresh pomelo in the corner of the small room. The light pomelo fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose. The fresh and sweet smell of the fruit always calms the mind.

The little girl grabbed the corner of the quilt, looked at the handsome and elegant man sitting by the bed with bright eyes, and nodded obediently.

The man put aside the fairy tale book on the bedside:

"Okay, Papa Lu will tell you a story about the world of stairs? A story about a person... reaching an ideal new world."

The little girl blinked her eyes, her pink face puffed up slightly:

"Dad, I've heard the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."

Lu Zaobai bent down, kissed her on the cheek, made her laugh, then grabbed her little hand, rubbed it slowly, and said in a low voice:

"That world is better."

When the little girl's expression became expectant, Lu Zaobai leaned against the head of the bed, stroking her forehead with fingers that smelled like hazelnut cake:

"That was one morning, a boy named Xiaobai ran up the stairs at home after quarreling with his best friend..."

……

"Lu Zaobai, let me tell you! I want to raise a girl, I want to! I don't care!"

"Can you think about the actual situation? We are all men, how do we raise girls? Do you know it's inconvenient?"

When he was living in the hospital, Lu Zaobai was quite interested in raising a sweet and lovely little angel.

She will softly and cutely call her daddy in a milky voice, and run around in the cake shop in a pink skirt. She is responsible for making exquisite cakes and bringing them to the little princess to see how she eats the cakes. Sweet, and I gently wiped off the cream stained on the corner of her mouth...

Thinking about it makes me feel very beautiful.

It wasn't until the heat in his head subsided that he realized that adopting a girl was really unrealistic in terms of their actual situation.

I and Shi Xing, who has experience in taking care of girls?When a girl grows up, who can talk to her?Who taught her the basics about women?Could it be time to wake up this Yi Lishen who has a girlish heart?

But when he discussed this issue with Shi Xing frankly, Shi Xing's reaction was completely beyond his imagination:

"I want girls! I want girls!"

Lu Zaobai who originally wanted to have a good talk: "..."

After being speechless for a few seconds, Lu Zaobai became more determined not to raise a girl.

There is already a little boy in the family, and if he raises another boy, he will be the father of the two children!

The reason for Shi Xing's side is also very good:

"I don't agree with elder brother and brother-in-law who raise boys! Sexuality, although it is innate, is also subtle! If you raise a boy from someone else, they are naturally straight, and it turns out that we are like this Like that...what if you get bent? I'm sorry for my biological parents!"

After eloquently defending, Shi Xing softened again, the dog stared at Lu Zaobai, and acted coquettishly:

"I want girls..."

Lu Zaobai felt that the questions he raised were also very practical, but the problems faced by the adopted girls were equally severe, so he choked casually and woke up:

"If you want, you can die by yourself."

Unexpectedly, this sentence made Shi Xing unhappy all of a sudden, and thus began a long speech on the question of "who is the attacker and who is the victim", and finally, he made a concluding statement seriously :

"If you want to give birth, you will give birth."

As for Lu Zaobai, he has always deliberately avoided talking about this issue.

A normal man... Well, although he is no longer a "normal" man in the universal sense, he, Lu Zaobai, doesn't want to be like a woman like a woman, and Cheng Huan is tossing and turning under other male bodies!

Around this issue, the two officially broke up.

In the end, the quarrel ended with Lu Zaobai refusing to make dinner and asking Shixing to scrape off the mold growing on his head. Shixing snuggled on the sofa hugging the big pyrene bear, while Lu Zaobai went upstairs , prepare to be calm and calm.

You actually said that I felt it when I saw it?After all, who will accept it at first glance?Who would come to him every day to be wronged and raise his head, begging to be petted, begged to be hugged, wagging his tail and giving doggy eyes?

When it's time to go to bed, you lick your face and say I feel like a victim?

Lu Zaobai felt that his personality was insulted by such a person saying that he seemed to suffer.

Layers of wooden stair boards creaked under Lu Zaobai's feet, and when Lu Zaobai woke up, his head was right under his feet, stepping on extremely loudly, each step made a crisp sound.

Until...he bumped into someone by the stairs upstairs and heard a low groan of "Ouch".

The voice of a middle-aged woman?

and many more?

The strong intuition of long-term missions made Lu Zaobai immediately realize that he might have entered a hellish world again.

This might... be his last mission, right?After all, tomorrow is my 26th birthday.

But this time there is no high-energy warning?What about the system's complaints?

After quickly scrolling through the three bullet screens full of screens in his mind, Lu Zaobai raised his head indifferently, and just about to politely say hello to the visitor or ghost, his throat was choked heavily.

this face...

Do not……

Lu Zaobai immediately turned his gaze to look at the surrounding furnishings.

The furniture that has been wiped clean has a friendly light on the bright surface; the aroma of Biluochun is wafting from the tea table; a roll of evening newspaper is placed on the edge of the sofa; He read in a round voice according to the word prompter on it, but Lu Zaobai couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

He turned his head away...

Behind him is the stairwell of Shi Xing's house?It was clearly the anti-theft door that he was very familiar with...

When he was young, his parents went to work and left him at home alone, so he would obediently read books, flip through pictorials, and counting that his parents would be home soon, he would stagger to the door with a small bench in his hand, holding Sitting in front of the door, looking up and waiting for parents to walk in the door...

The woman he bumped into gave him a reproachful look, held the dish, and nodded his head with one hand:

"Xiaobai, why are you so reckless? You are not in shape for such an adult!"

Lu Zaobai was stunned for a long time, his eyes fixed on the smiling woman in front of him.

Mom... is old... and thin...

But... how come?

The woman seemed to be looking at Lu Zao and her eyes were straightened, so she raised her hand and rubbed his forehead hair in amazement:

"My child! What's the matter? Are you exhausted today? The work in the dessert shop is not tiring, is it?"

Lu Zaobai opened his mouth slightly, but his vocal cords were completely desensitized, and his throat seemed to be blocked by someone. Countless voices struggled to come out of his throat, but just as they reached his tongue, they were forcibly swallowed by a force .

The man sitting on the sofa, who was much fatter than Lu Zaobai remembered, also showed a surprised expression. He folded up the daily newspaper in his hand, put it together with the evening paper, and stood up:

"Zaobai, what's the matter? Business is not going well?"

Lu Zaobai's eyes focused and slackened for a while. He felt that he had broken into a dream, or that he accidentally stepped into the border between dream and reality.

What a beautiful dream...

No matter how beautiful the dream is, Lu Zaobai's instincts developed over the years also made him ask the most important question to him in his heart in a dazed intoxication:

"System, what kind of mission is this...?"

however……

"This is not a mission. I haven't received any notifications about missions."

The systematic answer, after wandering around in Lu Zaobai's mind for a long time, was not digested by his stopped brain. The sentence was split into specific words, which were continuously pieced together, arranged, and combined, and finally , turned into a large piece of garbled characters.

It's not a mission, that is to say, it's not a different world anymore?

Or, did I accidentally travel through a parallel time and space and arrive at a brand new world?

Lu Zaobai turned his gaze to the screen, and the time was clearly displayed on the lower left corner of the screen.

He took out his phone, and instead of the familiar gibberish, it was a normal time and date page.

He remembered clearly that when he woke up and went upstairs when he dropped it, he turned his head and glanced at the clock.

Year, month, day, hour, minute, second, exactly.

Lu Zaobai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hugged the middle-aged woman who was shaking her hands in front of his eyes, picked her up, and turned around on the spot several times.

Not a phantom, not a corpse, not a dream.

Really *, really mother!

Lu Zaobai tasted the ecstasy of happiness.

Whether it's true or not, Lu Zaobai at this moment feels the happiness that warms his heart.

The woman was still a little surprised when she was picked up, until she felt the child rubbing her head against her neck, she smiled and touched Lu Zaobai's earlobe:

"Why do you still act like a child at such an old age? What's the matter? Have you found a girlfriend?"

girlfriend?

This key word slightly dilutes Lu Zaobai's excited emotions, he covers his forehead, and forcibly quiets the boiling brain in his head.

calm down!

Just because the system says there are no tasks, it doesn't mean... yes, it doesn't mean that the person in front of him is not in danger!

Perhaps, this is a greater danger and hidden danger!It is to use one's inner desire and attempt to capture and invade one's inner demon...

Thinking of this, Lu Zaobai's mood stabilized a lot. He coughed, let go of his mother's hug, took a step back, and distanced himself from her. A polite smile while performing a task:

"It's almost there, that's...tomorrow we have an appointment to meet a girl with Shu You. Hmm, Shu You also said..."

Lu Zaobai wanted to continue talking, but when he came into contact with the confusion in the eyes of the second elder, he realized that something went wrong.

Sure enough, after looking at each other for a while, his mother asked him strangely:

"Xiao Bai, who is Shu You? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Lu Zaobai stayed where he was.

After a while, he turned on the phone with trembling hands, clicked on the browser, entered a word at the fastest speed, and pressed the search button.

The results shown above made Lu Zaobai feel like falling into an ice cave in an instant.
