Holding a cup of black tea in his hand, Lin Ze looked through the clear window at the locust trees with yellow branches and leaves on the road outside the window, as well as the hurried flow of people.
The last time he was sitting in a cafe drinking alone like this was before he got the Cultivation series of games. The long-lost tranquility made Lin Ze feel a sense of satisfaction from the bottom of his heart.
I remember there is a loneliness level chart on the Internet, which ranks things that one does alone according to the depth of loneliness, such as watching movies alone, eating alone, shopping alone, etc.
If these all represent loneliness, then Lin Ze feels that he may enjoy this kind of loneliness. When he is alone, it will make him more relaxed and have the tranquility and joy of being immersed in his own world.
Especially after the emergence of the training series of games, he spent most of his time on adventures and training, so he cherished his quiet time alone even more.
Unfortunately, life often does not go as one wishes. Not long after I sat down, a fashionably dressed girl came over and asked shyly: "Hello, are you alone?"
Not far away, two girls were gathered together, looking slightly excitedly.
Seeing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but feel helpless in his eyes.
Since five minutes ago, the three girls have been looking here, burying their heads in confusion about what they were discussing. They chuckled from time to time, and it was difficult not to let anyone notice.
"No, I'm waiting for my girlfriend."
"I see, I'm sorry." The girl looked disappointed and retreated immediately.
The other two girls quickly learned about the situation from their friends and sighed in disappointment. However, the next second they saw Lin Ze get up and go to the cashier to pay, and quickly left the coffee shop.
""
Walking on the busy street, Lin Ze unknowingly came to the Keyaki Square where he first met Luo Luo. After walking around for a while, he planned to return to school. However, before he reached the bus stop, he saw Yang Xiaomeng.
Walking towards me, she was carrying two heavy bags in both hands, walking with difficulty.
Seeing Lin Ze, Yang Xiaomeng was slightly startled. She didn't pay attention to her feet and almost stumbled down. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Lin Ze stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
"Thanks!"
After stabilizing her body, Yang Xiaomeng smiled gratefully at Lin Ze, but found that the latter's eyes were on the two bags full of snacks in her hands. Her pretty face couldn't help but blush, and she hurriedly explained: "This is
I bought it for someone else."
Lin Ze refused to comment and asked, "Do you need help?"
Yang Xiaomeng looked at her slender arms, and finally nodded: "Sorry to trouble you."
"Where to go?"
"It's in the neighborhood in front!"
The two soon arrived at a high-end community and entered the elevator of one of the buildings. Yang Xiaomeng then pressed the button for the 19th floor.
"You live here?" Lin Ze was a little surprised. He really didn't know that Yang Xiaomeng was a local.
"No, my cousin lives here."
While talking, the elevator had reached the 19th floor and opened with a ding.
Under the leadership of Yang Xiaomeng, the two came to the door of 1905.
"Thank you for your hard work, just leave it at the door." Yang Xiaomeng pointed to the side of the door and said.
"Don't you need help carrying it in?"
Hearing this, Yang Xiaomeng couldn't help but look a little weird, shook her head and said: "No, she will open the door and get it later."
Lin Ze nodded and placed the bag beside the door, while Yang Xiaomeng knocked on the door and shouted:
"Xiao Ning, I left the things at the door. Remember to take them in later."
There was no response, and there was dead silence in the room.
Yang Xiaomeng seemed to be used to it and was not surprised. She turned to Lin Ze and said, "Let's go."
So the two went downstairs and left the community.
While passing by the square, Yang Xiaomeng suddenly pointed to a mobile stall selling snacks in the distance: "I'll treat you to milk tea as a thank you gift!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Ze to answer, he walked towards the stall car.
Lin Ze had no choice but to follow her and came to the stall with her.
"Welcome, what would you like to eat?"
Sensing someone approaching, the clerk who was cooking food in the car raised his head and smiled, waiting for the usual question. However, when he saw Lin Ze's face clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Lin Ze also frowned at the same time, because the clerk in front of him was the girl in the peaked hat who tried to snatch the monster that night.
"Your friend?" Yang Xiaomeng asked Lin Ze, his eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, thoughtfully.
"No." Lin Ze shook his head in denial.
The girl in the peaked hat looked so angry that she stared at Lin Ze with her beautiful eyes wide open. After a moment, she glanced at Yang Xiaomeng, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "I just met him once, he brought me with him last time
A beautiful woman went to a noodle shop for dinner, and I happened to be working there."
"Beauty?" Yang Xiaomeng was slightly surprised, pursed her lips and said, "Chen Yuxuan?"
Can you guess this?
Lin Ze couldn't help but sigh at a woman's intuition and nodded calmly.
The girl in the peaked hat saw the expressions of the two people and immediately understood that they were not boyfriend and girlfriend. She couldn't help but feel discouraged and gave Lin Ze a fierce look.
No matter how dull Yang Xiaomeng was, she realized at this time that the relationship between Lin Ze and the clerk in front of her was not very good, so she gently tugged on Lin Ze's sleeve.
"How about we go to another one?"
Lin Ze nodded. The girl in the peaked hat obviously still held a grudge about what happened that night. He didn't want the milk tea he drank later to be spiked with other ingredients.
After leaving the square, Lin Ze seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned to Yang Xiaomeng and apologized: "Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do, so I have to leave first."
Yang Xiaomeng was startled: "Okay, I'll invite you next time!"
Lin Ze nodded: "Goodbye."
"goodbye."
After bidding farewell to Yang Xiaomeng, Lin Ze kept walking towards the bus station until he estimated that Yang Xiaomeng could no longer see him, so he made a circle and entered from the other direction of the square. He bought a peaked hat in an accessories store and put it on.
A moment later, Lin Ze was sitting by the window of a beverage shop, with a glass of juice in front of him. He sat quietly, looking through the window at the square outside.
From his position, he could just see the mobile stall carts on the square. The girl in the peaked hat was smiling and entertaining customers, completely unaware that she was being watched.
Picking up the juice and taking a sip, Lin Ze had a thoughtful look on his face.
"Are you really working, or are you investigating monsters?"
On the day of the flesh and blood monster incident, the girl in the peaked hat happened to be working as a waiter in the noodle shop. Judging from the fact that she sneaked into the noodle shop that night, she was probably investigating monsters during the day.
So, is this also the case now?
After thinking for a moment, Lin Ze took out his mobile phone and searched the Keyaki Square online. The result was that everything was normal. There had been no unusual incidents here recently.
"No matter what, we'll find out if we keep an eye on it."
Lin Ze murmured softly as he stared at the busy girl in the peaked hat in the stall car.
"As a courtesy, if there are really monsters coming out, I will be the one to snatch them away this time!"
