Shanhai Inn

From dusk to before sunrise the next day is the time period when the number of online monsters on the [Human World is Unreal] forum is the largest.

The promotional posters of all stores will basically be released during this time period, and the Shanhai Inn is the same.

At eight o'clock in the evening, a post quietly appeared on the front page.

"Shanhai Inn is about to launch a series of snacks, handmade without additives, discounts for first-day purchases, see inside for details—"

Click on it to see the real pictures of various snacks. They are placed in a powder blue box, which looks exquisite and delicious. There is a brief introduction of the snacks under the picture, and the description in words is also very appetizing.

Not long after the post was sent, a hot icon was added to it.

: Wow, Shanhai Inn is going to sell snacks? @Tianshifu

: Hahaha, it's time to start falling in love and killing each other again, right? CP I locked the key and I swallowed it! @Tianshifu

: How nice of you to be like this hahahaha CP fans count me in!

: Please go to the CP post to enclose yourself in the CP post, let me get back to the topic, first of all, congratulations to the inn for launching the snack series, it looks delicious, I am looking forward to it, and then... am I the only one who saw that Got a little fluffy tail?

: Mmmmm fluffy tail?This plush control is not invited!Where?

: Click on the big picture to look carefully, a friendly reminder that there are oh, super cute ones in every picture.

The monsters clicked on the pictures, and sure enough, they saw that there was a tail in each picture. Sometimes it was halfway out of the picture, and sometimes it was just a curved point. It was white and fluffy, and it felt good to the touch.

: This color... is the new cub from Shanhai Inn, right?I have seen!Cubs are super cute!There are dimples when I smile!

: I also remember, the name is Lu Zhuo, right? Then I will add another friendly reminder. Let's see who the producer of the snack is.

: The producer is Lu Zhuo!Snacks made by the cubs?Hey, hey, rubbing the cub, it's still a juvenile baby, and it's about to come out to work, Lin Xin is not human!

: Lin Xin is not a human being +1. I was surprised when I saw the discount in the title. I thought he had finally changed his gender, but I clicked in and saw a 9.99% discount. How are you, Lin Xin?

The following replies were basically divided into two types, one was copying and pasting the words "You are so kind, Lin Xin", and the other was saying that the cub's tail looked rua, expressing that he would definitely support the cub's snack business .

And the customer group of the inn is almost the same style of painting.

Everyone was very friendly, Lu Zhuo shook his tail and sent a cute emoji.

As for Daoist Xiaolin...

The more Taoist Xiaolin watched, the more troubled he became, and he didn't want to respond, so he went back to the bedroom to find his family members and groaned and groaned.

What about Daoist Xiao Lin's global fan support club?

I'm afraid this isn't a group of fake fans, is it?

Because the snacks will be on sale the next day, Lu Zhuo was nervous and didn't sleep well all night.

And this kind of tension, not only did not dissipate the next day, but it became more and more serious.

cubicle.

"Sales will definitely be good, Xiaolu don't be afraid."

"How can you still have insomnia due to something so big? Believe me, there will be no problem at all."

"Looking at the enthusiasm of everyone in yesterday's post, combined with past experience, I guarantee that the snacks will be sold out within 10 minutes of being on the shelves!"

A few people from the inn chattered around to comfort the cub, but it was useless.

Lu Yan was still nervous, his hand holding the mouse was trembling, and he turned his head to look at the wall clock every few seconds.

The time passed bit by bit, and the hands of the wall clock quickly pointed to ten o'clock.

"Jingle--"

The chime sounded.

Lu Yan opened the store's order page and looked nervously at the data frame above. After about 10 seconds, he saw that the number on it jumped from 0 to... 2829.

ten seconds.

0 to 2829.

Xiao Zaizai was stunned, his expression was very similar to that [猫猫 · Unbelievable] emoticon package, and the number on the data page continued to rise, and finally reached 9 in the 11100th minute.

Lu Zhuo made 37 kinds of snacks this time, each with [-] servings, and the total number is this number.

It really sold out within 10 minutes as Lu Wu said.

Lu Zhuo opened his eyes wide, and wondered for a moment whether he had an illusion under anticipation: "...Sold out?"

Several people around nodded in unison: "It's over, Xiaolu is great!"

After finishing speaking, Chi Chi Chi Chi applauded, with a proud expression on our Zai Zai's face.

Everyone is proud that the snacks made by the cubs are so popular.

Although the item has not been sent yet, and there is no comment on the taste, but a few people are very confident that the snacks made by their own cubs must taste the best, so there is no need to worry.

For the rest of the afternoon, Lu Zhuo's work was fixed to three.

Print the delivery slip, pack the snacks, reply to the message, and the cycle continues.

Many customers came late and didn't get any snacks, and wanted them very much, so the news list was filled with little red dots, asking Lu Zhuo when the next batch of snacks would be delivered.

Lu Zhuo had discussed this matter with Lin Xin before, and planned to have it every other week, but he didn't expect that more than 1 snacks would be sold out on the same day, so he was a little uncertain about the time.

Lu Zhuo couldn't make up his mind, so he went to find Lin Xin.

The little shopkeeper was still nestling in the corner, but this time instead of resting on the recliner, he was drinking tea with someone.

The man was dressed in a Tang suit with pale silver patterns, his eyebrows were warm, and his eyes seemed to be smiling even when they were not smiling. The whole person seemed to have stepped out of a painting.

It was the blind date that was pursued by many people, and Lu Zhuo looked at the familiar guest.

When they met for the second time, Lu Zhuo still felt that his appearance was very familiar.

Hmm... where did you see it?

Lu Zhuo's eyes stopped on the guest, lost in thought, and after a while, he perked up.

"Rongshui?" Lu Zhuo looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Are you Rongshui?"

Rongshui, a young and cutting-edge painter.

In the contemporary painting circle, it is called "the brush of magic".

Lu Zhuo first knew Rongshui because he was Wen Lang's elder brother. Ai Wu and Wu had a natural liking for him, and later developed a liking for him because of his works.

The painting style is warm and delicate.

Lu Zhuo can feel a warm and lively world from his paintings.

And the cub was right.

"Hello, I'm Wen Rong, and my pen name is Rongshui." Wen Rong smiled gently, and handed the cub a cup of tea.

Lin Xin also looked over: "Xiao Lu, what can I do for you?"

Lu Zhuo nodded, and told Lin Xin about the snacks' release time.

The first thing Daoist Xiao Lin thought of was the cub's work intensity: "Are you busy enough? I think you are too tired, otherwise just let it be and do it whenever you have time."

The cub, which seldom rejects others, shook its head this time.

He is a very serious cub, he will do things well once he starts to do it, and he will not be perfunctory.

Lin Xin appreciated Lu Zhuo's point very much, but he was afraid that the cub would be tired, so after thinking about it, he gave an initial plan.

"It's because I didn't think about it before. This is good. You should do it first during the recent period. You should put it on the shelves at ten o'clock every day. Then I will find some monsters...find some people to come and work part-time. When the time comes, you will put it on the shelves." Once the materials are ready, the follow-up process can be done by them.”

Lu Zhuo felt that it was feasible, and nodded: "Okay."

He hadn't finished sorting the package over there, and after asking, he planned to continue working, so he bid farewell to Lin Xin Wenrong, and turned back to the cubicle.

Lin Xin looked at his back with a smile, no matter how satisfied he looked.

Zai Zai at our inn is the best.

Same goes without any filter.

Wen Rong also thought this cub was cute: "Is this the cub you were talking about?"

"Yes." Lin Xin smiled, "I just came to the inn some time ago, and you went to visit Wen Lang's class at that time, but you didn't see him... His situation is just like what I just said, how is it, did you find anything? "

Wen Rong shook his head.

Lin Xin didn't have much hope, so he was not disappointed, and continued to ask him the second question: "What should I do to let Xiaolu know that I am a monster without being frightened? As someone who has experienced it, do you have any good suggestions?" ?”

Wen Rong was helpless: "Lang Lang is a glutton, and he knew he was a monster since he was born. I have never experienced such a thing, so why did I come here?"

Lin Xin blinked: "But isn't your other half in the same situation? It was only later that I realized that I was a monster."

Wen Rong: "..."

do not want to talk.

When it comes to the person who abducted his silly white sweet cub, he feels unhappy.

"I didn't do anything, it seemed like I just said it directly." Wen Rong said, "Besides, Lu Zhuo and Qin Jingshen have very different personalities, so we can't use him as a reference."

Lin Xin thought about Qin Jingshen's and Lu Fengshi's aloof appearances, and nodded in agreement: "Yes."

"So don't think about it too much. Isn't he going to be an adult in just over a month? The true form will appear on the day of adulthood. You can tell what it is at a glance. Don't worry." Wen Rong poured tea, and gave him the teacup with a gentle smile Pushing it over, his brows were calm and peaceful.

This is actually what Lin Xin is thinking now. He knows that he will know the answer sooner or later, but this feeling of chasing suspense dramas is too uncomfortable. When he thinks about it, he feels that the cat's paw in his heart starts to scratch him again.

The tea smoke curled up, forming a faint mist.

Lin Xin looked in the direction of the cubicle through the water mist, and after a while, sighed softly.

……

Later, get off work.

Just after dinner, Lu Zhuo was urged to go upstairs to rest by some people in the inn. Everyone felt that the cub was exhausted today and felt sorry for him.

In fact, Lu Zhuo didn't feel very tired. He felt very happy and fulfilled to be able to do something for the inn. When he went upstairs, his back was full of indescribable joy.

The floor is still quiet, most of the floor where Lu Zhuo lives are night owls, and they don't come out for activities until night.

Lu Zhuo walked to the door of the room, opened the door and was about to go in, when he caught a glimpse of someone approaching from the corner of the corner of his eye, it was Lu Fengshi.

Judging from the time, he should have just returned from the company, the suit is flat without any wrinkles, and he is holding a folder in his hand.

A big man like Mr. Lu is also very hard. After get off work, he still has to go home with his work.

Lu Zhuo thought about it, and smiled at Lu Fengshi: "Mr. Lu."

Lu Fengshi hummed lightly: "Just got off work?"

The cub nodded: "Today, the snacks in the inn are on the shelves. It's busy, so it's a little late."

After he paused for a few seconds, he added: "Everyone likes the snacks very much, and they were sold out within 10 minutes after they were put on the shelves."

That feeling of pups looking to their parents for praise came back.

At least Lu Fengshi thought so.

Naturally, he would not be stingy in complimenting the cub: "You did a good job."

The cub's tail was wagging so fast that it almost appeared as a phantom behind it.

Lu Fengshi watched and smiled silently.

The two of them didn't stay outside for too long, and after saying a few more words, they said good night to each other and went home.

The room is very quiet, the black, white and gray lines are cold under the white light, and the only thing that gives warmth is the pair of cute cat-head slippers on the shoe rack.

Lu Fengshi put it on, sat down behind the desk, and opened the folder in his hand.

If Lu Zhuo were here at this time, he would see that the folder was not the work documents he thought, but information about him.

It is very detailed, Lu Zhuo's journey from childhood to adulthood is included in it, including such things as "Little Celestial Master of Love" and "Almighty Baby" that he got in kindergarten.

This is what Lu Fengshi asked his assistant Ling Yun to investigate a few days ago. He is a goshawk who has only practiced for more than 3000 years. He is good at scouting. He was a scout before he went to work in the Kyushu Group.

He and the owner of Costin Bookstore were once comrades in arms.

After getting this information, Lu Fengshi didn't go to the company, but looked through the people on the list who had some contact with Lu Zhuo. Most of them were normal, except for one person.

Lu Zhuo's best friend, and Xiao Yu.

In the first semester of high school, he transferred to Lu Zhuo's class and appeared out of thin air. Before that, all the information was blank. It was found that his ID card and student status files were all handled by the Monster Bureau. The original shape was a piece of jade, and he claimed to be [-] year, which cannot be identified.

Jade.

It made Lu Fengshi think of Lu Zhuo's jade plaque.

But he couldn't find He Xiaoyu, the last time this person appeared was before Lu Zhuo's summer vacation, and since then there has been no news, as if he disappeared from this world.

However, Lu Fengshi has already issued an order to find him, and if there is no accident, he will get the news soon.

There is no unsolvable mystery in this world. It is only a matter of time before the fog will clear up.

Lu Fengshi has always believed in this.

……

On the other hand, Lu Zhuo still strokes the cat to make snacks after returning home.

In the evening, I took a shower in the bathroom and was about to go to bed. I had just laid the quilt when I heard a knock on the door.

Looking out through the cat's eyes, it was Zhou Dabao.

"Dabao?" Lu Zhuo opened the door and invited the children in, "Why are you here so late?"

The child's voice was childish: "Brother Xiaolu, good evening, you said you would come to the elementary school to play with me, but you never came, so I had to come to you."

I feel a little wronged.

Giving way to Lu Zhuo felt guilty in an instant.

The day Zhou Dabao first came to the inn, he had promised the children about it, but after he took over the inn and the shop was a little busy, he forgot about it.

There is no need to tell the children about these things. A slip of the tongue is a fact, and there is no need for any excuses.

"I'm sorry, Dabao." Lu Zhuo apologized to the little friend, "I didn't do what I said, Brother Xiaolu was wrong."

Zhou Dabao smiled sweetly: "It's okay, I came to you to forgive you."

Lu Zhuo laughed too, and brought Dabao some snacks, and there was no kid who didn't like snacks, and their eyes lit up when they saw it.

"It's a little late now, Dabao don't eat it yet, take it to the elementary school tomorrow to eat."

Afraid that the child would not digest well at night, Lu Zhuo spoke.

Zhou Dabao was actually very greedy, and wanted to eat a little now, so he obediently put down the snacks after hearing what Lu Zhuo said, nodded and told his favorite brother Xiao Lu the reason for coming this time.

"Tomorrow there will be a parent-teacher meeting in the elementary school. I called my father... He has something to do and can't come. Can Brother Xiaolu accompany me?"

The children looked at Lu Zhuo with anticipation in their eyes.

His words made Lu Zhuo think of himself when no one came to the parent-teacher meeting before, and immediately felt distressed, and agreed: "Okay, I will definitely go."

The kid laughed, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Lu Zhuo played with Zhou Dabao for a while, and sent him back to the elementary school at about ten o'clock.

In his understanding, children should go to bed before eight o'clock in the evening, which is already a bit late.

Although he was very reluctant to part with it, Zhou Dabao was a very well-behaved cub, and said goodnight to Lu Zhuo in a childlike voice while holding a snack.

Lu Zhuo kissed the children's faces, said good night as well, and went home.

Lie on the bed and just turned off the light when I heard the phone ring.

Clicking on it, it turned out to be a group of high school classmates who hadn't spoken a long time ago.

The person who sent the message was monitor Yao Liang.

Yao Liang: Are you free recently?I haven't seen each other since graduation, how about we get together if you have time?I'll pay.

His family conditions are good, and there are many friends who gather together all day long. When he was in high school, there was a lot of response, and it is almost the same now. When Lu Yan clicked in, there were already many people echoing. Two-thirds said they would go.

But Lu Zhuo didn't want to go.

He glanced at it blankly, and closed the page with his hands down. Before he clicked on it, the phone rang a notification tone and a @reminder message.

Yao Liang: Lu Zhuo, you must come. I invited Mr. Lin, how kind the teacher was to you back then, why don’t you come to see him? @Road Zhuo

Lu Zhuo's hand stopped.

He actually doesn't want to go. In the past ten years, he has experienced some very bad things. The most depressing time was in high school. Lu Zhuo didn't even want to recall those things, even seeing the names of these people All feel disgusted.

He should have retired from this classmate group long ago, and it was because of Mr. Lin that he didn't.

Lu Zhuo took the college entrance examination in his second year of high school, and left high school to go to Longdu University. Teacher Lin retired and returned to his hometown after the third year of high school. The mobile phone number changed, and the old man did not use WeChat. Lu Zhuo lost contact with him all of a sudden. .

Lu Zhuo knew that Yao Liang's family had an old relationship with Mr. Lin, and they should still be in touch, so he didn't quit this group. He hoped to see Mr. Lin again at the class reunion in the future.

Just like now.

Lu Zhuo lowered his eyes and replied: I'll go.

He didn't read what Yao Liang said later, turned off the page and threw the phone aside, took it back half a minute later, and clicked on the profile pictures of Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu.

[Student Xiaolu never cuckoos]: Ayu, I am a little happy today, but also a little unhappy.

It was quiet over there, no one answered.

Lu Zhuo is used to this.

Most of the time, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu responded to his news in seconds, but occasionally, like now, he didn't show up for days or even months.

This is related to Xiao Yu's major.

In archaeology, I often stay with my mentor for dozens of days in the deep mountains without signal.

Lu Zhuo didn't care, and told him about his friends as tree holes, snacks and high school reunions.

After speaking, I felt a lot better. I shook my tail and continued typing.

[Student Xiaolu never coos]: Good night, Ayu, I hope you are all well.

Putting the phone aside, throwing all the bad things out of his mind, the cub closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

The sound and light outside the window gradually faded away.

Only the night that was softly enveloped by the moonlight remained.
