Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Gollum—

Just as Zhou Fengliu was pondering, his stomach made a noise reminding him that it was time to eat, which brought him back to his senses and made him realize that he should eat something, after all, he had slept all night.

What should I eat?

Never mind, I'll just go downstairs and grab something to eat.

Now that he's no longer in Biyou Village, he can't go to Fu Rong's place for a free meal, so he has to go out to eat.

He washed up first, then changed his clothes and prepared to go out. Just as he passed Chen Duo's house, he suddenly remembered that Chen Duo seemed to have not eaten all day, so he turned back.

"I'm going to eat. Are you going to wait at home for me to bring you some, or... come downstairs with me?"

"?"

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Chen Duo, who was sitting on the bed, frowned slightly and answered Zhou Fengliu after thinking for a few seconds.

"I'll go out with you..."

After she finished speaking, she added:

"Is that okay?"

“Why not… as long as you can suppress the poison in your body and don’t poison others… it’s up to you,” Zhou Fengliu said.

"it is good..."

Although Chen Duo's face showed no change in emotion, she was actually a little curious inside.

You see, the building she was standing on was located in the heart of the city, with several shopping malls and a sizable pedestrian street—precisely the place she wanted to visit...

When she was learning at the company before, she had visited such places, but at that time it was only to learn common sense. All her actions were restricted, and she was accompanied by several company employees to protect her, making her like a bodyguard.

Later, when she arrived at Biyou Village, Ma Xianhong told her to try to avoid crowded places, and she listened to him. This little wish has remained hidden until now.

Chapter 199 Society is simple, people are complicated~ (Second update)

Zhou Fengliu didn't actually care about Chen Duo's little wish...

He was just going downstairs to find something to eat; his purpose was very simple.

Pure hunger.

Taking the elevator, Chen Duo followed Zhou Fengliu downstairs, while Chen Junyan's dog was left in her temporary room and not brought out with her.

The weather is nice today. It's afternoon, and there are quite a few men and women in the nearby commercial area.

Although it's early autumn, Zhou Fengliu still saw quite a few girls wearing black stockings, white stockings, and bare legs along the way.

"Run..."

"Very smooth."

"This is moist enough."

Along the way, Chen Duo heard Zhou Fengliu mention the word "Run" several times. Following the direction of Zhou Fengliu's gaze, she could only see women. She didn't understand what these women had to do with the word "Run".

"Um... why did you say Run?" Chen Duo hesitated several times before finally asking the question.

Upon hearing Chen Duo's words, Zhou Fengliu raised an eyebrow and glanced at Chen Duo.

"Kid, don't ask questions you shouldn't..."

"Oh..."

Chen Duo did not get the answer she wanted.

of course.

Zhou Fengliu couldn't explain it to her in detail, after all, Chen Duo was still a pure and innocent person, and he couldn't let her be corrupted.

Generally, only like-minded people can resonate with him, such as... Xu Si.

Yes.

Xu Si, who was also a "Bathing Emperor" with him, understood immediately. The two often exchanged glances and smiled at each other because of the word "moisten".

...

Chen Duo was not discouraged by Zhou Fengliu's refusal to answer. She remained curious about everything on the road, her eyes seemingly unable to take it all in.

She saw towering skyscrapers in the distance and a huge billboard with a giant advertising banner hanging on it.

She also saw men and women going on blind dates at tables outside a coffee shop, and a live streamer in the square shouting into his phone, "Family members, please give the top fan a follow!"

I saw a couple deeply in love in a small corner, whispering sweet nothings and occasionally giving each other an ambiguous kiss.

She was like a child, interested in everything in the real world.

...

Zhou Fengliu led Chen Duo into a shopping mall, intending to find a place to eat. Generally, shops in shopping malls are more expensive than outside, but it was still manageable for Zhou Fengliu, who now had seven-figure savings.

He originally intended to ask Chen Duo what she wanted to eat, but when he saw Chen Duo's blank expression, he gave up.

It would be pointless to ask anyway.

So he just randomly picked a hot pot restaurant.

"welcome."

Following the voice of the staff, the two arrived at a spot near the glass, where they could see other shops in the mall.

"this..."

"This, and this..."

Zhou Fengliu first picked up the menu and ordered some things he wanted to eat, then handed the menu to Chen Duo, who was still looking out at the mall through the glass.

"Look, what would you like to eat?"

Chen Duo took the menu and carefully looked at each picture on it, stroking her chin as if she was considering something.

The staff maintained a smile for three minutes.

For five minutes, the staff maintained a smile.

After ten minutes, the service staff's professional fake smile stopped.

"Sir... Shall I place your order first? Call me when this lady has finished selecting..."

“Okay,” Zhou Fengliu replied.

Although he didn't urge Chen Duo, it doesn't mean he wasn't hungry.

Fortunately, it was afternoon and there weren't many people eating, otherwise the staff really wouldn't have been able to wait for Chen Duo for ten minutes.

Soon, a hot pot with two separate broths was brought out, and Zhou Fengliu put various kinds of meat into the pot one after another.

Just after Zhou Feng finished eating the meat, Chen Duo finally chose something that looked delicious from among the many dishes.

"I want this..."

Hearing Chen Duo's commotion, Zhou Fengliu glanced over.

It looks like some kind of dessert...

He nodded and then called out to a waiter.

Soon, the waiter came over, and Chen Duo pointed to the dessert she had chosen on the menu and said, "I want this..."

"it is good..."

"Is there anything else?"

Upon hearing that she wanted more, Chen Duo was taken aback at first, then frowned slightly, and prepared to choose from the remaining dishes. Seeing this, Zhou Fengliu told the waiter to leave first.

"Stop looking at this, let's eat," Zhou Fengliu said.

"it is good."

Chen Duo nodded, then turned her attention to the hot pot in front of her.

She knew about hot pot; it had appeared in her cognitive learning at Dark Fortress before, but she had never eaten it.

After all, she was in a bunker at the time, and hot pot wouldn't be on the bunker's food list.

She started to imitate Zhou Fengliu's actions, rummaging through the pot and then putting the food in her mouth with her chopsticks.

Because Zhou Fengliu ordered the extra spicy broth, she was having a hard time resisting it, and the spiciness made her furrow her brow.

"If you can't eat spicy food, then eat the clear broth hot pot next to you. Don't force yourself... It's not good to have spicy food at both ends." Zhou Fengliu said when he saw Chen Duo's doubtful look.

"it is good..."

"You can dip it in some sauce, this is sesame paste, and this is an oil dipping sauce..."

"Oh..."

After this lunch, Chen Duo gained a new understanding of hot pot:

A round pot, food is cooked in it, and after eating it, it's fiery hot. After the top is spicy, the bottom is spicy too... How strange.

She didn't quite understand why Zhou Fengliu could enjoy the spicy hot pot so much.

Soon, the dessert that Chen Duo had just ordered arrived.
