Chapter 1674 - 1674
The boss is an interesting rough guy, he laughed and said, "After you sleep tonight, then it's official! You two aren't a married couple; you must be lovers, hahaha..."
Ruan Yu's face turned red, nearly crying from embarrassment.
Liu Zhizhong calmly said, "Boss, you misunderstood, we're just friends, please don't make assumptions. If you're doing business, focus on doing business, right? Here's the money for a double room, we want one with a bathroom!"
He had scars on his face, though they were not serious, combined with his calm tone, this gave him a certain fierce coldness, making the boss cautious to say no more, quickly taking the money and handing over the key, done!
Leading Ruan Yu into the room, it was pretty nice, clean and tidy, the bathroom was decent too, you could take a shower.
Of course, in terms of like domestic standards, it's just an average motel. But in Liangjia Chong Town, it's pretty good.
Moreover, these motels in town have the advantage of not requiring IDs — you can stay as long as you have money!
Liu Zhizhong then said to Ruan Yu, "Ah-Yu, don't mind the boss. These people haven't had much education, and it's normal for them not to understand respect. As long as we're clear about our innocence, that's good enough."
Ruan Yu nodded with a flushed face, "Hm, Brother Shui, I know."
"Let's go, let's grab some dinner, then I'll hit the internet."
"Internet? You can surf the internet?"
Ruan Yu was surprised, because computers, they're high technology stuff in town!
Ruan Yu, growing up with Grandpa Lou, learned quite a lot of words and culture, but really wasn't able to use a computer, let alone surf the internet.
Liu Zhizhong smiled, nodded, "Without the internet, I can't find Qian!"
"Wow! Can you make money online? Is it profiting?"
Liu Zhizhong chuckled sheepishly, "Yeah, quite profitable!"
"Can you teach me?"
Liu Zhizhong: "..."
A bit speechless, but also understanding, after all, she's a young lady in debt, scared of poverty.
Liu Zhizhong smiled and said, "Later, I'll teach you how to surf the internet! If you're willing to learn I'll even buy you a computer! But of course, tasks in hand, have to be done step by step, huh? You have to study medicine well, and I have to figure out ways to earn money to pay off debts for you all. So, listen to my arrangements?"
"Yes, I'll listen to Brother Shui."
Ruan Yu nodded obediently, really charming.
Before long, Liu Zhizhong took Ruan Yu out of the hotel, onto the streets.
In the subtropical rainforest's winter, the town's nights are indeed distinctive.
The entire town was shrouded in damp cold mist.
Old tungsten streetlights cast dim orange glows onto mottled walls.
Charcoal firepots were set up in tin sheds at street corners, the sweet fragrance of roasted sweet potatoes mixed with the smell of poor-quality cigarettes, forming a kind of muddy warmth in the damp air.
Salon girls dressed scantily, with makeup smeared on their faces, peeked out from short windows and doors, waiting.
A homeless man curled up at the convenience store entrance, under dim neon lights, faces yellow-skinned and bony, filthy hairstyles.
Wild dogs rummaged through garbage heaps for food, in packs. Wild cats watched the heaps from afar, too afraid to come closer.
The humid night wind, brushed over rusted satellite dishes on some low building rooftops...
The aroma of food wafted through the air, drifting out of the alleyways, onto the main street, stirring people's appetites.
Liu Zhizhong took Ruan Yu nearby to a restaurant, ordered a roasted chicken, costing 56 Coins, which really pained Ruan Yu, hahaha...
