Shanhai Inn

This photo was finally clipped into the notebook by Lu Yan, and it was put together with the note that Mr. Lu had left for him before.

After putting it away, he didn't close the notebook immediately. His eyes lingered on Mr. Lu in the photo for a long time before he closed the notebook and went back to the bedroom with the cat in his arms.

The room was very quiet, and the wind outside the window was slow.

The pink fluffy rabbit sat beside the pillow, smiling at Lu Zhuo in the silence.

Lu Zhuo looked at it for a while, and felt that something was missing. After thinking about it, he went outside and took off the little rabbit from the schoolbag, and put it in the arms of the big rabbit.

The big pink rabbit hugs the little pink rabbit, cute and gentle in the dim light.

Lu Zhuo squeezed the cheeks of the two rabbits, turned off the light, and smiled slowly in the boundless night.

……

Lu Zhuo slept well that night, although the voice of 'Aba Aba' from next door still exists, he woke up until dawn.

The next day, the cubicle.

Lu Zhuo went to work full of energy, and before he opened the forum and clicked on the store page, he was attracted by the title of a post on the page——

"Ding!Your Mr. Lu is waiting to be signed, Costin Bookstore Mr. Lu's latest magazine is in limited release, hurry up and buy it! "

Clicking on the post, there is only one magazine cover photo in the main building. Mr. Lu in it is wearing a white shirt, which is not buttoned to the top like before. This time the collar is slightly open, and the collarbone is faintly visible.

He stood by the window in the corner, at the junction of light and shadow, half of his eyes were illuminated by the warm light, like the clear sky at the end of the clouds, and half hidden in the shadows, like a bottomless abyss under the mountains.

Half gentle and clear, half silent, two contradictory points coexist in one person at the same time, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

: My God, this sexual tension!Is it still the cold Mr. Lu in my memory?Ah ah ah ah ah without further ado, my phantom limb will be respectful first (No!

: Mr. Lu, I really can do this!Buy buy buy I'm coming!

: Prosperous beauty, I am Mr. Lu!It would be even better if I had a gentler personality. Now that I am like this, I dare not strike up a conversation. I only dare to look at her from a distance. It's a shame to think about it!

: Hey woo woo, tears can't help but flow down from the corner of his mouth,

: Am I the only one who noticed the limit in the title?May I ask how many copies are limited? I'm a little far away from the bookstore now, and I can't get through it in a short time. I don't know if I can grab it.

[Old Landlord] Look at me, Duo Falcon: Limited to [-] copies, full payment can be reserved, but the deposit will not be refunded if the order is cancelled, everyone thinks about it before buying.

[主数]Look at me for winning the falcon: Haidongqing's wings compare with hearts.jpg

Lu Zhuo right-clicked and saved the photos in the main building, and clicked into the store to start processing today's news and orders.

Twenty minutes passed without knowing it.

As time passed, Lu Zhuo became more and more restless. After a while, he finally made up his mind and got up and left the cubicle.

There are many guests outside, Lu Wu and Gu Jiuzhang are busy.

Jiji was the first to see Lu Zhuo: "Xiaolu Xiaolu, where are you going? Are you going to pick up guests?"

"No, it's... I want to go out and do some shopping."

"Then I'll go with you."

Always keep in mind not to let the cub go out alone, as he said, he raised his wings and was about to fly towards Lu Zhuo.

In the past, when Lu Zhuo didn't feel that something was wrong with the inn, he would just go there, but now, he always feels that there is a human soul in Jiji's body, so he doesn't really want it to be with him.

Even though I can see Mr. Lu every day, I have to skip work and go out to buy his magazines, it's just...it's embarrassing.

"No, no, no." Lu Zhuo took a step forward and pressed Jiji's wings, "I just went to the bookstore outside to buy a book, and I'll be back soon."

"Costin Bookstore?"

Lu Zhuo nodded.

The bookstore is just outside, and Song Qing is still there, so the cub should be in no danger.

Thinking of this, Jiji felt relieved for the time being: "Okay then, you go and come back early."

And he decided that if the cub didn't come back in 10 minutes, he would go out and look for it.

Seeing that Jiji didn't insist, Lu Zhuo heaved a sigh of relief, stroked its feathers and said yes, then turned and went out.

Dahuang Street, Costin Bookstore.

Song Qing's daily life is still lazy. When Lu Zhuo passed by, he was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed and blowing on the air conditioner.

Lu Zhuo tapped on the window glass: "Hi, may I ask if there is still the issue of the magazine with Mr. Lu's interview? It is the issue where Mr. Lu made the cover."

Song Qing half-closed her eyes and glanced forward. After seeing Lu Zhuo, she instantly woke up.

"Huh? Isn't this the cub who asked me to pass by?" Song Qing got up and stepped forward, "How is it? Did you find it later?"

"I found it. I'm working at Shanhai Inn now." Lu Zhuo smiled at him, "Thank you for showing me the way last time."

"Really, that's really great. It's really promising to work in Shanhai Inn." Song Qing smiled.

Like Su Dai, Song Qing also felt that the Shanhai Inn was a good job, no different from working in the Monster Bureau, decent.

Lu Zhuo also thinks it is good to work in Shanhai Inn.

He smiled at Song Qing, that bright smile almost dazzled Song Qing's eyes.

Song Qing looked at it and felt that this little cub seemed to be more lively than before, and felt better about the Shanhai Inn. He decided to supervise and educate the cub after going back, let him study hard, and he can enter the inn in the future.

Thinking so in his heart, he smiled at the cub: "You want to buy the magazine with Mr. Lu's interview?"

Lu Zhuo nodded: "I read on the forum that it is limited to [-] copies, is there any more?"

"Yes." Song Qing took the notebook next to it and looked at it, "Excluding the sold and pre-ordered ones... there are nine more, how many do you want?"

It's only been twenty minutes, and out of the five hundred books, there are only nine books left.

Fortunately, it came out early.

Lu Zhuo rejoiced in his heart: "Just one copy will be fine."

After speaking, he scanned the QR code to pay, and after a ding dong, there was an extra magazine in his arms.

On the cover, Mr. Lu stood in the flickering light and looked at the people outside the painting. Even if it was not the first time he saw him, Lu Yan still felt that he was indescribably attractive like this.

Lu Zhuo raised his hand and poked Lu Fengshi's face, and laughed. At about the same time, he heard someone calling him behind him.

"Lu Zhuo."

The voice was cold and clear, very bewitched, one could tell who it was.

Lu Zhuo quickly turned the magazine over and put it in his arms, then turned around: "Mr. Lu!"

The bright smile reminded Lu Fengshi of the photo of the cub wearing a sunflower headgear when he was a child.

Lu Fengzhi's expression softened: "Why did you come out alone?"

The breath on your body is so strong, what if something happens?

"I'll just come out and buy a book, and I'll be back soon."

"What book to buy?"

Lu Zhuo's eyes wandered and he didn't speak.

Lu Fengshi moved his eyes back a little and looked at Song Qing.

Song Qing looked at the little cub who bowed his head shyly, and then at Lu Fengshi, whose expression was more relaxed than usual in front of the cub, and laughed: "I bought the magazine you participated in the interview last week."

After speaking, he seemed to feel that the level was not enough, and added: "It's the one you made the cover of."

The third item of Mr. Lu's cub raising notes——

: When the cub starts to pay attention to news about you and collects objects related to you, it also proves that the relationship between you and the cub is developing in a positive direction. This is the basis for you to understand each other and have a tacit understanding. Many tacit relationships, It's the word 'concern' that started.

There is a big check mark next to this passage, and a pink heart under the check mark.

Lu Fengzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Lu Zhuo in a good mood: "Skipping work and running out to buy magazines, is one enough?"

Song Qing next to him looked surprised.

It's hard to imagine that Mr. Lu would say such teasing and joking words.

And the cub's face had already turned red quietly.

The shyness in his heart rose to the extreme, and he had a feeling of writing a love letter to the person he liked. Just as he secretly put the love letter on his desk, he turned around and saw the real person, feeling caught on the spot.

Lu Zhuo lowered his head and didn't speak.

Seeing that the cub was so shy that it was almost cooked, a smile flashed in Lu Fengshi's eyes, and he rubbed the cub's curly hair with a low voice.

"You can tell me what you want in the future. I have samples." He said, "Also, don't come out alone recently, even if it's so close."

Mr. Lu, who claims to be the head of the family, is much stricter than the few people in the inn.

Although I don't know why everyone cares about this matter so much recently, Lu Zhuo nodded.

He looks very well-behaved and very likable.

So the little maroon curly hair was rubbed again by Lu Fengshi.

soft.

The touch is exactly the same as the feeling of the cub.

……

There were a lot of orders that day, and Lu Zhuo worked overtime for more than an hour at night, and it was nearly eight o'clock when he returned to his room.

He was inexplicably tired today. He went back to his room and didn't want to make snacks or practice. He hugged the cats and nestled on the sofa, rubbing the cats while reading the supernatural stories on the forum.

After watching this for more than 20 minutes, the screen of the mobile phone went dark, reminding that the battery is low.

Lu Zhuo stretched his waist, intending to go to the bedroom to get the charger, when he just stood up, there was a soft ringing in his ear.

"despair--"

It was completely dark around him, and the moonlight was blocked by the curtains, leaving only the faint light of the mobile phone screen in the room.

power cut.

At this time, the battery of the mobile phone is only [-]%.

Lu Zhuo flipped through his schoolbag to find the power bank, but it was dead.

time of disaster.

Lu Zhuo stood there holding the power bank that was out of power and the mobile phone that was about to be out of power, and didn't know what to do for a while.

After a while, there was a knock on the outer door.

He went to open the door, and Lin Xin and the others stood outside the door, looking at him with a smile: "Xiaolu, there is a large-scale power outage in Longdu today, we are going to go for a walk, do you want to come together?"

Lu Zhuo nodded and said yes, then paused for a few seconds: "Do you want to ask Mr. Lu?"

The expressions of several people were instantly horrified.

Going out for a walk with Mr. Gao Lenglu... Think about it, why is it so strange?

The atmosphere must be extremely cold, right?

But since it was the cub's wish, they would not refuse it, so they said, "Then go ask."

"it is good."

Lu Zhuo shook his tail and knocked on Lu Fengshi's door.

The door in front of him was quickly opened, and Lu Fengshi stood behind it, holding a small lamp in his hand: "What's wrong?"

Lu Zhuo told him about the walk, and Lu Fengshi looked at the expectant eyes of the cub and the dangling tail behind him, and hummed lightly.

A few people simply cleaned up and went downstairs to go out.

Summer nights in Longdu are the most comfortable time. The temperature is neither too hot nor too cold. The night wind blows gently on the pedestrians, and suddenly there is a feeling of being gently embraced.

Because of the large-scale power outage in the area, there were unprecedentedly many people out for a walk that day, and there were still people selling lights on the side of the road, the kind of portable lights that looked like lanterns, 25 to [-], and the lifespan would not be too long, but very nice.

The appearance of the lamp is very cute, there are rabbits, puppies, cats and bears... All kinds of small animals, Yang Jian doesn't want to leave after seeing them.

Lin Xin glanced over there along his line of sight, and smiled helplessly: "Want?"

Yang Jian nodded.

The little Daoist leader of the money fan is still very generous to his own people. Hearing this, he looked back: "Which one of you still wants?"

Except for Lu Fengshi, all the people raised their hands, and even Chi Chi and Chi Chi raised their wings.

Five people and two birds have a total of seven people, and the small lanterns are evenly discounted.

Lin Xin looked back at Lu Fengshi: "Lu, why don't you come too?"

The person being questioned glanced at him and said nothing, so Lin Xin took it as his acquiescence, and led a few people to the front to choose the lights.

Lu Zhuo took a lamp with a kitten pattern. Although Mr. Lu didn't speak when he was asked, the speed of choosing the lamp was not too slow. After Lu Zhuo, he also brought up a puppy lamp.

A few people carried the lamps and walked forward happily. Lu Zhuo and Lu Fengshi walked side by side, one with a lamp in the left and the other with a lamp in the right. The cats and puppies were next to each other. In a sense, they were also cats and dogs. Both.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhuo rolled his eyes and smiled softly.

Lu Fengshi looked at him: "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Zhuo was very relaxed in front of Lu Fengshi now, and when he heard that he raised the lamp and bumped it against his lamp: "Is this considered to be both a cat and a dog? Rounding up my wish is fulfilled."

"If you think about it that way...it doesn't seem to be a problem."

Lu Fengshi looked at the lamp and said softly, his brows were softened by the warm light, very gentle.

As Lu Zhuo watched, his heart began to pound uncontrollably.

What is going on with this strange feeling?

Lu Zhuo felt that he was simply possessed by a demon.

He turned his eyes away, and didn't dare to look at Lu Fengshi again. In order to alleviate the strange feeling in his heart, and to make his sudden look away less abrupt, he raised the lamp and bumped it against Lu Fengshi's lamp again.

"Bam—"

Naturally, it wasn't the sound of lanterns colliding.

It's fireworks.

It bloomed from a distance, cascading down on the dark night sky, like falling stars.

"Fireworks! Go and see!"

Because of the mortgage and no money, Lu Wu has not been out for a long time. Now it is a rare opportunity. When he sees the dazzle, he instantly becomes excited, and pulls the people around him to rush there.

Based on the principle of caring for the little fool, several people cooperated very well and followed him forward.

Lu Zhuo and Lu Fengshi walked at the back, and soon heard a few faintly singing voices from a distance.

Just walk along the dawn, and after the end, there will be the brightest spring.

At that time, all things will wake up and the stars will fall to the ground.

The mountains and rivers meet the rivers, the night sees the sky, and the tired birds return to the branches soaked in winter snow.

And I met you.

It is "When You Come" by Fu Tong.

Fu Tong is Lu Zhuo's favorite singer. He must buy the album every time it comes out. All the songs have been repeated countless times by his singles. Lu Zhuo listened and couldn't help humming softly with the distant singing.

Lu Fengshi listened quietly, and waited for Lu Zhuo to stop before making a sound: "Do you like Fu Tong?"

"I like it very much. This is my favorite song." Lu Zhuo said, "I played this song at the New Year's Eve party in my freshman year."

"You can play the guitar?"

"Well...not really good at it, I just practiced with Ayu repeatedly, and I only learned this song in a month, and I haven't played it for a long time." Lu Zhuo smiled embarrassedly, and said so.

When the two of them were talking, they had already walked in front of the singer. It was a group of students, and in the middle was a boy with clear eyebrows. He was the one who sang the song "When You Come" just now.

Lu Zhuo and Lu Fengshi walked over, and the last note of the guitar just fell.

Hearing their conversation, the boy smiled and untied the guitar: "Do you want to try it?"

Lu Yan waved his hand instinctively: "It's still—"

Before the word "no" was said, Lu Fengshi said, "Okay, thank you."

He took the guitar and brought it to Lu Zhuo: "I want to hear it, can you play it for me?"

Lu Zhuo couldn't refuse.

"Then I'll try it...it shouldn't sound very good." The cub gave Lu Fengshi a vaccination in a low voice.

Lu Fengshi hummed: "It's okay."

Lu Zhuo hugged the guitar without confidence, and plucked the strings after the sound test.

He hadn't played it for a year and a half, and he was very unfamiliar with it. Coupled with his nervousness, he played a few sentences and made several mistakes.

Lu Zhuo wanted to adjust it back, but the more nervous the easier it was to make mistakes. At the beginning, there was only sound leakage, and gradually the tune was not right.

Lu Zhuo bit the bullet and continued to play. There were more and more mistakes, and in the end he couldn't listen anymore.

"Mr. Lu, otherwise forget it... I'm not very good at it."

He was about to stop as he spoke, and the next second, the hand that stopped on the string was covered with warmth.

Lu Fengshi's voice rang next to his ears, softly and soothingly.

"You want to play like this."

Lu Fengshi didn't know when he came behind him, and put his hand on Lu Zhuo's, leading him to pluck the string lightly.

Lu Zhuo looked at him in a daze, the latter's eyebrows drooped slightly, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, like the thin layer of fog covering the stars in the sky at this time.

People are good looking.

The guitar is also better than the boy just now.

Whether it is because of the blessing of the filter or not, at least Lu Zhuo thinks so.

The sound of the guitar faded away with the night wind.

More and more passers-by followed the sound, and gradually hummed the song. The lyrics of this song are very gentle, and so is the melody. Together with the moonlight in the sky, it makes the night a little gentler.

Lu Zhuo's nervous heart unknowingly eased up a lot. While playing the guitar with Lu Fengshi, he began to hum along with the people around him. With the lyrics and tune of this song, the bright fireworks in the sky and the surrounding In the gentle night, tell me how gentle you feel at this moment.

……

The group of people stayed outside for a long time, and it was nearly eleven o'clock when they returned, but there was still no call from the inn.

Several people said good night to each other, and went back to their rooms to rest.

Lu Zhuo's mind was full of the scene of playing the guitar with Mr. Lu just now, and he couldn't fall asleep. After rolling around on the bed with two rabbits, one big and one small, he felt a little hungry.

He closed his eyes, trying to make himself fall asleep, so that he wouldn't feel hungry, but things went against his wishes. Not only did Lu Zhuo not fall asleep, but he became more and more hungry, and his stomach kept making noises.

Ten minutes later, Lu Zhuo sat up and decided to go downstairs to find something to eat.

He went downstairs, the inn was very quiet, everything was still.

Because the inn's biological clock is reversed, and there are many people who like to eat supper, Yang Jian makes a lot of supper every day and puts them in a specific area of ​​the kitchen.

Lu Zhuo's goal is small desserts.

He would occasionally come to the kitchen to help in his free time, and he was familiar with the layout inside, and he could find the place even if the lights were not turned on.

Lu Zhuo stopped in front of the dessert table, and felt forward, what he felt was not the familiar touch of the porcelain plate, but a fluffy mass.

It feels rough to the touch, and there are hard things like joints distributed. It feels like... the claws of a large animal.

From the perspective of height, the animal was standing up without accident, and it was opposite Lu Zhuo at this time, and there was only a platform less than half a meter away from him.

……

The hair is creepy.

One of the novels that Lu Zhuo read before the power outage had a horror theme. The protagonist stayed in a hotel overnight and met a terrifying monster inside. It looked like a leopard, but walked upright like a human being. A fall of its claws could tear a person alive. into two halves.

The first time the protagonist met this monster was when he accidentally pressed the monster's paw when he was looking for food in the kitchen at night.

How similar it is to Lu Zhuo today.

Lu Zhuo's scalp was about to explode, his fingers trembled, and he tried his best not to cry out.

"despair--"

The overhead light suddenly flickered, then went off again.

It was only half a second before and after, just a short moment, but it was enough for Lu Zhuo to see the "thing" in front of him clearly——

It was a creature that looked like a tiger but was definitely not a tiger. Its fur was brown and yellow, and its body was covered with tiger stripes. A hideous ghost.

Lao Lao Lao Lao Tiger? !

Or a tiger with nine tails? !

What the hell is this? !

Lu Zhuo was so horrified that he almost stopped breathing. He couldn't bear it anymore, he took a step back suddenly, and his whole body hit the table behind him with a bang.

The dining table shook violently, and the tableware on it fell to the ground, crackling and shattering. Amidst the sound of shattering, the inn's alarm sounded sharply.

"despair--"

Amidst the sharp sirens, the lights suddenly turned on again.

This time it didn't go off again.

So the creature in front of him was reflected in Lu Zhuo's eyes again without leaving any room. It stood there motionless, its vertical pupils widened and their pupils contracted, obviously frightened.

How did the cubs who never came down at night come down? !

Lu Wu froze there as if struck by lightning.

After returning to the inn, he took a shower in the dark. He wanted to go to sleep, but he suddenly felt hungry.

Thinking that there were no people in the inn at the moment, Lu Wu was too lazy to change back into a human form, so he just came down to look for food like this, but he didn't expect such a situation to happen.

It's over.

who am I?

I am there?

what should I do?

Lu Wu was getting more and more panicked. Looking at the frightened pale face of the cub in front of him, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaolu." He took a step forward and raised his paw to pat the cub's shoulder to comfort him. Just as he stretched out his paw, seeing his sharp nails, he felt that his appearance was not suitable for comforting others.

How to do it?

The sharp sirens around him continued, and Lu Wu was in a state of confusion, subconsciously trying to find the easiest way, and turned back into a human body without thinking.

So Lu Zhuo saw this frightening creature in front of him, suddenly turned into the little Brother Lu who he had been with day and night.

Lu Zhuo: "..."

Pupil earthquake.
