Chapter 5 Gray part-time job

 After leaving the bathroom, Shen Yunqiu felt that Yu Zhesen was very abnormal.

Half a minute ago, Yu Zhesen pointed to the mirror in front of the sink and asked if he could see anything strange.

Strange thing? There were clearly only two sleep-deprived fools in the mirror. Shen Yunqiu shrugged and went to the balcony with a tooth cup and toothbrush.

Yu Zhesen stayed in front of the sink in a daze.

He had calmed down from his initial panic. After confirming that Shen Yunqiu could not see the blond An He in the mirror, he suddenly felt a magical sense of satisfaction in his heart.

The blond An He in the mirror belongs to him alone.

"Who are you?"

Yu Zhesen asked a second time. His fingers wandered around the mirror, gently across the other person's forehead and brow bone, along the middle line of the bridge of the nose, and finally stopped on the pure and delicate lips like cherry blossoms.

The person in the mirror blinked and replied: "I don't know who I am, but you can call me Shi Xin."

Her answer was not delivered with a voice, but a kind of mental fluctuation that was directly mapped into her mind.

"Shi Xin... why are you in the mirror? Why can only I see you? Why do you look exactly like my sister?"

A series of questions made Shi Xin frown slightly in the mirror, as if he was thinking about how to answer him.

Her frowning expression was the same as An He's, which gave Yu Zhesen the urge to praise her.

There must be something wrong with my mental state... Yu Zhesen smiled bitterly to himself.

If Shen Yunqiu were around, he would definitely find it strange why he was talking to a mirror.

However, Yu Zhesen enjoyed it, and he had even found a reasonable explanation for all of this.

It must be because An He's arrival last night rekindled the feelings hidden in his heart.

Shi Xin in the mirror is a phantom of his own imagination, and the reason why he stops himself from going on a blind date is because of his subconscious attachment to An He.

Yu Zhesen, Yu Zhesen, you are such a big fool.

He criticized himself a hundred times in his heart.

"First of all, I don't want to be in the mirror." She said, "But currently it seems that this is the only way we can communicate."

"I don't quite understand..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you know, I'm here to remind you. Don't go to your appointment tomorrow!"

Yu Zhesen turned on the faucet and poured water into the tooth cup: "You think I want to go? But that is a blind date arranged by the Marriage and Parenting Bureau. It is illegal to let go of the dove without reason."

"Let the pigeons fly?" Shi Xin's head tilted to the side, she seemed not to be able to understand the word.

"Anyway, I have to at least show up." He said optimistically, "Don't worry, it's just a free prostitution to fund the activities of the Marriage and Education Bureau. What's wrong with eating, drinking and having fun for free for a day?"

Shi Xin's expression gradually became sad.

Yu Zhesen was stunned for a moment and forgot that he was still collecting water.

In his memory, An He's eyes were always confident and proud, with hidden ruthlessness and sharpness. When encountering difficulties, he would only think about how to overcome obstacles instead of being sentimental.

But this also makes her less feminine.

The state of the mind at this time is like a rose facing frost, which is pitiful to people.

"It will kill people," she said.

"It's just a date, it's not that exaggerated." Yu Zhesen smiled, "I will always like An He."

As if triggering some evil-killing spell, after he said "I will always like An He" in a joking manner, Shi Xin disappeared in the mirror.

The sound of running water splashing on the sink was heard, and the overflowing water flowed down the walls of the tooth cup under the faucet.

Five minutes later, Yu Zhesen came out of the bathroom and saw Shen Yunqiu holding a briefcase and getting ready to go to work.

"Old Shen, that psychiatrist you saw before..."

"Huh?" Shen Yunqiu held a piece of compressed biscuit in his mouth and was pulling on the heels of his shoes at the door.

Yu Zhesen scratched his hair: "Give me her contact information. I'd like to get to know her if I have the chance."

Shen Yunqiu took the biscuit in his hand and asked in surprise: "Do you also have psychological barriers that need to be overcome?"

"Hmm... maybe... probably."

Yu Zhesen couldn't tell him directly.

Shen Yunqiu didn't take it seriously. He was almost late for work.

Yu Zhesen doesn’t have to work today.

The Marriage and Parenting Bureau has the right to give two days of special leave to couples who arrange a blind date, including the day of the blind date and the day before.

The previous day's holiday was used by both men and women to prepare for the date. It can be seen that the matchmaking event planners of the Marriage and Parenting Bureau are trying their best to promote a marriage.

Yu Zhesen's evaluation of this is - pure whimsy divorced from practice.

In this era, how many young people who get married through blind dates really have feelings for each other?

Most people just make do with each other to avoid the high single tax.

Expecting that such young couples will get on the right track after having children is just wishful thinking on the part of those in power.

In the two years since he came to Qidao City to live independently, thanks to the job of Lightning Husky Express, Yu Zhesen has met all kinds of people, including many young men and women who were forcibly brought together by the Marriage and Childbirth Bureau.

At an age when I didn't even understand my life, I became a husband and a wife in a daze, and had a child in a daze. A family of three squeezed into an old rental house, and it seemed like I could see the end of my life at a glance.

This is so nonsense.

Yu Zhesen went downstairs and got into his car while criticizing in his heart.

Although Lightning Husky Express will not assign him tasks today, he still has ways to receive private orders.

For a freelancer like him, taking a vacation is not something to be happy about.

Freelancers believe in more reward for more work.

"Didi, the energy is less than 10%. It is expected to support a driving range of 50 kilometers. Please recharge as soon as possible."

Yu Zhesen sighed lightly and had to go to a nearby energy replenishment station first.

To recharge the motorcycle, 25 SP (Iron Dome Points) need to be deducted from his personal account. Lightning Husky Express Company will subsidize its riders 5-10 recharge reimbursement opportunities every month based on the odd number of completions. Overall, it is quite conscientious.

While waiting for charging, Yu Zhesen checked his bill.

The rent for the residence is 700sp, which is shared between him and Shen Yunqiu, plus the average monthly cost of water, electricity and energy is about 400sp.

Including daily living expenses, he uses almost 1,000sp points a month.

The remuneration paid to him by Lightning Husky Express fluctuates based on the number of orders completed each month, and is also affected by uncertain factors such as user complaints and penalties, but it can basically maintain a balance of payments.

After working in Qidao City for two years, I only accumulated a measly 2,000 SP points.

Even the deposit when he first joined the company was paid by Shen Yunqiu for him.

Yu Zhesen is very self-aware - he is the kind of young man who has not yet understood life.

So he really couldn't understand why the Marriage and Education Bureau arranged a blind date for him.

The silver-gray motorcycle turned into an alley in the old city. Yu Zhesen stopped and stood up in front of an abandoned warehouse with a half-closed rolling shutter door.

"Is there anyone there?" He bent down and slipped under the rolling shutter door.

Various cardboard boxes were piled up in the warehouse behind the rolling shutter door. A slovenly bearded man wearing a VR goggles was lying on an oak rocking chair and swinging back and forth.

"Old Wu, it's almost ten o'clock and you're not awake yet?" Yu Zhesen looked helpless.

This bearded man's name is Wu Dazhi. On the surface, he runs a scrap recycling station, but in fact he is the go-between for various private transactions.

Due to the park's laws and the existence of the Iron Dome Security Bureau, some goods cannot be delivered through formal logistics companies like Lightning Husky Express, so Wu Dazhi can only help recruit temporary delivery workers.

Many courier riders have worked part-time with him.

Of course, this company is quite principled and will not accept orders that look dangerous. It treats its part-time riders fairly well and only charges 10% of the labor fee as a middleman.

"Old Wu?"

The bearded man wore headphones and didn't hear Yu Zhesen's voice at all, and he let out a lewd chuckle.

Yu Zhesen stepped forward and took off his blindfold: "What are you looking at? Let me see."

"Hey! Who is it! My day, Yu Zhesen, you bastard, return it to me quickly!"

Yu Zhesen put on the VR goggles for a few seconds, then quickly took them off: "Your sister, you are so shameless for showing off sex in the daytime."

"What do you know, kid? This is a precious image from the old era. I bought it from a tech geek for 1,000sp."

Yu Zhesen glanced at him: "If you are caught holding and spreading this kind of thing, you will probably be exiled to open up wasteland, right?"

"Isn't it okay if you don't get caught?" Wu Dazhi looked indifferent.

Well-founded and irrefutable.

Good words can never persuade a damn ghost. Yu Zhesen was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and went straight to the point: "Give me something to do."

Wu Dazhi was a little surprised and pointed to the yellow lightning husky vest he was wearing: "You don't have to work today?"

"No need." Yu Zhesen scratched his head, feeling that it was too troublesome to explain, and he didn't want to repeat the fact that he was about to be arranged on a blind date.

"I do need some work here that needs manpower..." Wu Dazhi took out his mobile phone and looked through the memo, and suddenly looked up at Yu Zhesen: "Do you know about Hongyu Bar?"

Hongyu Bar... Yu Zhesen's eyes flashed and he nodded.

"It's that bar that can't be found on the map. Do you really know it?"

"I've been there."

"That's good." Wu Dazhi stood up and rummaged through the cardboard boxes piled in the warehouse.

After a while, he pulled out a package: "Take this over."

"Who should I give it to? Can I just send it to the bar?" Yu Zhesen took the package in his hand and weighed it. It was not heavy, no more than one kilogram.

"The customer just said, give this to the most beautiful woman in the bar today."
