Chapter 550 Shhh, I'm Fake!

"Boss, you're back."

"Yeah."

Zhou Ze sat down on the sofa, picked up the coffee Yingying had just brought, and took a sip.

"Hiss..."

The coffee was a little hot.

Zhou Ze put down the cup and subconsciously bit his lip.

"Oh, Boss!"

Yingying immediately rushed over nervously, reaching out to pick up the coffee. It was a bit hot, but not enough to cause that reaction, right?

"It's okay, it's okay."

Zhou Ze waved his hand.

"I wasn't careful."

"No, Boss, let me see."

Yingying gestured for Zhou Ze to open his mouth so she could take a look. She wouldn't allow any harm to come to her boss.

Zhou Ze shook his head and said, "It's fine, just get me a glass of ice water. It's okay."

"Oh, okay, then I'll take this coffee down."

"No, don't bother. It's a waste."

In other words,

he still wanted to drink it,

even though it had burned him.

What was a little blister?

Did she know how expensive this cup of coffee was?

Yingying went to get a glass of ice water and placed it in front of Zhou Ze, carefully asking:

"Boss, are you really okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Oh, good, then I'll go help Lao Xu with the cooking."

"Yeah."

"Hey, finally back, hahaha."

Lawyer An, wearing leopard-print pajamas, came downstairs.

She first gave a hearty laugh, then immediately went to the little boy. Seeing that he was about to do his homework as soon as he got back, she immediately said:

"Something came up last night, and I chatted with that old Zhang for too long. I didn't sleep well. Let's go back upstairs and sleep for a while."

"Disgusting."

Zhou Ze, who was sitting beside them, added.

"Is this any of your business?"

Lawyer An turned her head and glared at Zhou Ze unhappily, then continued to look at the little boy with a smile.

"See, you had fun playing with the little girl this morning, right?"

The little boy nodded.

"Tired too, right?"

The little boy shook his head.

Tired,

what did that mean?

"Elementary school students have to develop the habit of taking a nap. Let's go and develop that habit."

The little boy hesitated for a moment,

but still nodded.

After all, it was Lawyer An who had spoken up this morning to get the boss to take him to the wax museum.

Lawyer An was overjoyed and immediately pushed the little boy upstairs.

"Your eye mask fell off."

Zhou Ze reminded her.

Lawyer An turned her head, picked up the eye mask that had just fallen out of her pocket, glared at Zhou Ze as if in protest, and then immediately followed the little boy upstairs.

Zhou Ze shook his head with a smile.

He looked at the cup of coffee and the glass of ice water in front of him.

Well,

it seemed like the coffee was more expensive.

Zhou Ze still picked up the coffee.

"Squeak, squeak!"

Just then,

the little monkey suddenly jumped over, holding a cell phone in its hand, and squatted on the coffee table in front of Zhou Ze.

"Go play somewhere else."

Zhou Ze waved his hand.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The monkey brought its face closer to Zhou Ze, as if curiously examining him.

"Go away..."

The monkey immediately jumped away,

its tail swept across Zhou Ze's coffee cup, and the coffee was all spilled on Zhou Ze.

Fine,

no more coffee.

The boss Zhou wasn't angry. He put the coffee cup on the coffee table, stood up, picked up the glass of ice water on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he shouted:

"Lao Dao." (Old Daoist)

"Yes, Boss."

Lao Dao was sitting behind the bar, busy with something. When he heard Zhou Ze call him, he immediately stood up.

"Your monkey is in heat. Take it to the zoo and see if it can find a mate."

"Squeak, squeak!"

The monkey cried out unhappily.

"Okay, okay, okay."

Lao Dao picked up the monkey and held it in his arms.

He even pulled open the monkey's tail to take a peek inside.

The monkey's face turned red.

"It's really grown up, huh?"

"Squeak..."

"That's right, how old do monkeys have to be to be able to mate? Let me check first."

The monkey looked as if it had lost all hope in life.

Because Lao Dao actually opened his cell phone and started searching on Baidu.

At the same time,

Lao Dao muttered:

"Don't panic. We'll go to the zoo tonight. If you find a female monkey you like, just get her yourself.

We'll bring more bananas and snacks. I believe you can handle it.

Also,

don't look for those frivolous little female monkeys. Look for the honest and reliable ones.

If you hit it off and she gets pregnant,

I'll help you sneak her out so you can have a home in the bookstore.

If you can really get her to give birth to a bunch of monkeys,

I'll be happy too."

Lao Dao was talking to himself, very happy.

Full of the pride of a parent whose son has grown up and can finally woo someone else's daughter.

The little monkey "plop"ed,

jumped out of Lao Dao's arms.

It glanced at Zhou Ze, who was walking towards the bathroom,

and quickly ran from the back door of the bookstore to the vegetable garden next door.

………………

"Yingying, help me get a set of clothes. I'm going to take a shower."

"Okay, Boss."

Yingying was already used to such requests.

Her boss was a severe germaphobe, and taking a shower in the middle of the day was too common.

Yingying brought over a new set of clothes and took the dirty clothes back to wash.

Zhou Ze, on the other hand, stood under the shower,

running hot water,

rinsing his body.

He shook his head.

For some reason,

since returning from the wax museum,

he felt a little dizzy, as if he had a cold.

…………

The little boy lay beside him, holding an iPad and watching a movie.

It was the Lam Ching-ying (Lin Zheng Ying) zombie series.

He thought it was quite interesting.

Zhou Ze and Yingying had also re-watched this series together and found it very enjoyable.

However, the little boy hated the one with the "little zombie" in it. He always thought that little zombie was too stupid.

He was watching with headphones on, so there was no sound.

But almost half an episode had passed,

and the little boy noticed that Lawyer An, lying beside him, was still tossing and turning.

"Something on your mind?"

The little boy asked.

"No," Lawyer An said helplessly.

"Then why can't you sleep?"

"I don't know."

Lawyer An closed his eyes.

He took a deep breath.

He had always respected and cherished his sleep time.

But after forcing himself to calm down,

he found that he still couldn't sleep.

Why couldn't he sleep?

"You still have something on your mind."

The little boy said.

"Um..."

Even Lawyer An wasn't sure anymore.

"Maybe."

Then,

Lawyer An began to think deeply.

What exactly is on my mind?

…………

Hot water, constantly washing over the body.

It seemed like he had been in the bathroom for too long.

Zhou Ze felt a little dizzy.

He turned off the shower,

picked up the bath towel beside him to dry himself.

As he was drying,

ready to throw the bath towel aside after getting dressed,

he noticed a patch of black on the bath towel.

Was he that dirty?

Zhou Ze walked to the mirror and looked at himself, and found a patch of black on his lips and chest.

Zhou Ze picked up the towel and wiped it again, and found that the black patch was getting bigger and bigger.

Left with no choice,

Zhou Ze turned on the shower and started showering again.

After washing for a while,

Zhou Ze picked up the towel again and wiped himself.

Then, he walked to the mirror again,

and found that the area of the black patch had started to expand even more terrifyingly.

Although he was a little surprised, he didn't panic.

Zhou Ze reached out and gently wiped the location of the black patch.

Then, he brought it to his nose.

A smell of,

paint.

Shortly after,

Zhou Ze walked to the bathtub.

He filled it with water,

and lay down in it.

Not long after,

the water started to cover his body.

Then,

the water in the bathtub also started to become murky.

"Boss, are you still not done washing?"

Outside the bathroom, Yingying asked through the door.

The boss's shower speed seemed to be particularly slow today.

"I'm almost washed away."

…………

The little loli came out of the bathroom in the office and opened the office door.

Seeing that her father, Uncle Xu, and the female curator were still sitting there drinking tea, she didn't walk out. Instead, she walked back to the little boy and asked:

"What are you watching?"

The little boy shook his head.

"Hmph, you won't even tell me!"

The little loli was throwing a tantrum.

She had just shared her secret desire to touch Mai Mai with him.

But he was treating her like this.

The little boy looked at the little loli,

then turned to look at the three people sitting in the small hall, still drinking tea, and silently walked over and closed the office door.

Then he looked at the little loli.

His eyes,

had a hint of eagerness and anticipation!

"You...you..."

The little loli instinctively felt a little scared.

"Lin Ke, come out for a moment. I think something's wrong."

The little boy said.

"Who's Lin Ke...what's wrong?"

The little loli's gaze suddenly changed from childlike innocence to profound,

taking a deep breath,

seeming to still carry a kind of languor from just waking up.

Opening her eyes,

looking at this dog skin plaster who had been following her around,

the little loli couldn't figure out what her emotions were.

"The wax figures here, oh no, the entire wax museum, seems to have some problems."

The little boy said.

"Then go tell the boss. What's the point of calling me out?"

The little loli asked with some confusion.

In this place,

with Zhou Ze here,

with him here,

why wake her up?

"Oh, I just wanted to see you. I missed you."

"..." The little loli.

The little boy jumped up,

reached out,

snapped off the head of the female curator's wax figure,

took it down,

then handed it to the little loli.

He licked his lips and said:

"Look, there's blood and bones under this head. And inside, it's white, it seems to be..."

The little boy was holding a head and handing it to the little loli.

Perhaps,

this was the purest relationship between children.

If the human head in the little boy's hand was replaced with a red apple, it would seem more appropriate.

"What exactly is this place?"

"A wax museum."

The little boy walked behind the office desk. There was a windowsill there, from which he could see outside, right behind the cross of the church.

"Oh, I see a person."

"Tell me when you see a ghost;

I'll do a business deal while I'm awake and then go back to sleep."

The little loli said lazily.

Two little brats,

without the slightest sense of crisis.

In a ghost movie, they would definitely be unqualified extras, the kind that completely ruin the immersion.

Of course,

if a ghost movie hired them to act,

then it would definitely be a real ghost movie.

The little boy opened the window, leaned out, and looked carefully,

and said:

"I see the boss walking here from the church."

"How is that possible?"

The little loli walked to the door and opened it a little. She saw Zhou Ze and her father still drinking tea happily with the female curator. The three of them were chatting warmly.

The female curator kept laughing, all smiles.

Ha,

two men.

"It really is the boss. Come and see."

Saying that,

the little boy jumped off the windowsill,

ready to pick up the little loli and help her see higher.

"What are you doing? Keep your hands to yourself!"

The little loli scolded him directly.

"Hehe."

The little boy scratched his head embarrassedly and didn't dare to do anything else.

The little loli jumped onto the windowsill and looked outside.

She saw her boss walking over.

"Hey, Boss!"

The little loli called out softly.

The Zhou Ze below seemed to have heard the voice.

He looked up,

looked at the little loli on the windowsill,

and said unhappily:

"Shhh, I'm fake."
