Chapter 24: The "Ancients" Who Couldn't Resist Carbonated Drinks
Meanwhile, in the Sunshine Community.
Shen Qing returned home with a bag full of things, and paused for a moment as she opened the door.
It must be said that the logistics department is very efficient; the floor is exactly the same as before it was damaged, and the glass in the living room window has been replaced.
Everything is new, and the living room looks much better now.
"But what about the female head镖师 (bodyguard/escort)?"
Shen Qing looked at the side bedroom that was still closed. Surely it hadn't been closed all day.
He casually placed the things he was carrying on the coffee table, walked over and grasped the doorknob. With a "click," the door to the room was unlocked.
Clang.
As soon as he entered, he saw Shen Qingtang draw her sword and stare at him warily.
"it's me."
Upon seeing that it was Shen Qing, she put away her sword.
Shen Qing hesitated and asked, "You didn't stay in your room all day, did you?"
The female head镖师 nodded. "Today your... colleagues? They came to repair the house, and I didn't dare go out except to get... takeout."
"There's no need. Don't you feel suffocated?"
Shen Qing looked around the room and saw that the side bedroom only had a small window that barely provided ventilation.
She could go out and be seen by the logistics department members without any problem, not to mention that the logistics department wouldn't care.
The organization doesn't care whether he has a girlfriend or not; that's not a subject of the investigation.
"You don't understand this world yet, so it's best not to leave this house, but you don't necessarily have to stay in the bedroom."
"Let's go out for some fresh air."
Shen Qingtang followed Shen Qing out of the room.
"I know you still have a lot of questions, so I'll take this opportunity to explain the basic requirements for living in this world."
He patted the sofa, gesturing for her to come over.
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qingtang sat down on the other side of the sofa and couldn't help but press it. It was soft and felt even more comfortable than a bed.
Then he looked at Shen Qing.
Listen to what he's going to say. After all, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, not to mention you're beholden to them even if they feed you.
However, the sweet black water was indeed delicious, and Shen Qingtang couldn't help but swallow.
"If you feel threatened by me, you know yourself that there's no need to."
Shen Qing got straight to the point, "But don't act rashly against others, especially don't draw your sword."
As I said before, the world is relatively safe.
But the premise is that you don't use a knife; otherwise, you'll be considered a dangerous element. That is, if you pose a threat to others, you'll also be threatened.
Seeing Shen Qingtang frown, seemingly puzzled, he explained:
"Because of the Sky Eye, it will know whatever you do outside, and then it will find out that you are an unregistered resident."
Shen Qing continued, "You should have something like identity tags where you are, right? We have them here too, and each one is unique."
"So, I'm a vagrant?"
Shen Qingtang tilted her head slightly; in her opinion, this word was already quite serious.
Shen Qing glanced at her phone and shook her head. "To be precise, it's more serious. Migrants can still re-register as citizens, but you are a person who doesn't exist."
Shen Qingtang was stunned for a moment, staring at Shen Qing, wondering how much of what the other person said was true and how much was false.
Everything in this world was beyond her expectations. In her world, being taken home by a strange man would have been an enormous event.
However, she seemed to have no other choice.
The bizarre and wonderful world outside made her feel lost and confused, but at least... the person in front of her was a good person.
"I know you may still have doubts about what I'm saying. Take your time. As you gradually understand this society, you'll develop basic judgment."
Shen Qing easily saw through her thoughts. "You'll see whether I'm telling the truth or not when the time comes."
"Here, this is for you. You recognize the book, right?"
He pulled out several books he had bought at the bookstore from his shopping bag: "History of the Xia Kingdom (Children's Edition)," "Xinhua Dictionary," "Complete Guide to Pinyin," and "Dictionary of Simplified and Traditional Chinese Characters."
"But you can read, right?"
If you don't recognize them at all, that would be troublesome.
Shen Qingtang picked up a book, colorful and completely different from theirs, with white paper, but should she give it to her?
Knowledge is very valuable.
She nodded, her tone serious, "I learned a little in a private school."
Seeing this, Shen Qing pointed out a few traditional Chinese characters to her. According to online research, traditional Chinese characters were already standardized more than a thousand years ago and should not be much different from modern ones.
However, it turned out that the female镖头 (bodyguard/escort) knew some characters but not many, and most importantly, she couldn't write them.
I feel that I still need to start by learning pinyin and then directly learn to write simplified characters.
"There's no rush."
Shen Qing shook his head, knowing that getting the female镖头 (bodyguard/escort) to understand modern society was a long-term task.
What should we eat for dinner?
Shen Qingtang was taken aback, fidgeting with her fingers before hesitating, "Anything is fine... but is there still any of that sweet, black liquid?"
As she spoke, her face flushed slightly, realizing she had been too shameless.
Seeing this, Shen Qing's lips unconsciously curled up. "Of course you can have it, but too much candy isn't good either, so be careful."
Sure enough, people in ancient times couldn't resist carbonated drinks either.
……
After ordering takeout, Shen Qing leaned back on the sofa and casually opened a certain forum.
"Question: What should I do if I find a girl from ancient times?"
After posting, he glanced at Shen Qingtang, who was sitting in a daze because she couldn't read or read books and had nothing to do. Had her day just passed like this?
The room was too quiet, so Shen Qing put down her phone, reached for the remote, and turned on the TV.
"I need to buy a car!! Where to go?! Used cars..."
Having not watched TV for a long time, he was surprised to find a loud "GG" sound as soon as he turned it on.
The sudden sound startled Shen Qingtang, who sprang up instantly, her hand instinctively reaching for her waist knife.
"Who?!"
"Um, there's no one else here. This is a television, um... it's like a shadow puppet show, you know?"
Shen Qing quickly waved his hand, took the remote control, and demonstrated how to turn on the TV by turning it on and off.
Looking at the alternating black and white screen, Shen Qingtang tilted her head slightly, pointed at the man selling cars on the TV, and asked in confusion:
"Is this a shadow puppet show? But there's clearly someone trapped inside!"
"It's fake; it's just a recording of people acting and then broadcast on this TV."
Shen Qing scratched his head, unable to explain the workings of a television either. "Anyway, that's how it is. You can get some modern information on it, or you can pass the time."
He handed the remote control over and let Shen Qingtang try it out herself.
As she watched the constantly changing images, her slightly widened eyes were filled with curiosity.
Seeing that she had something to do, Shen Qing picked up her phone again, which was now covered with annoying red dots.
"No picture, no proof. OP, post a picture!"
"Just some experience."
"Isn't this a plot from a novel? Of course, I'd keep her as my wife! (doge)"
Seeing that none of the replies were serious, Shen Qing's lips twitched. He must be crazy to ask this question; this generation of netizens is the best at creating drama.
Just as I was about to turn off my phone, a message popped up.
Su Xiaoxiao: "What's up?"
"Please do me a favor. I'll treat you to a big meal afterwards and buy you some women's clothes."
"?"
"??????"
Su Xiaoxiao sent a string of question marks, "What do you need girls' clothes for? Don't tell me you're going to be a cross-dresser!"
