Chapter 3

Zhou Qingluo went to the hospital to ask the emergency doctor from that day. She told him that that person didn’t leave behind a name, only remembering that he was super handsome, had a cold face, and he had a rose tattoo on his neck.

The female doctor said, “His tattoo seems to be the Juliet Rose and there are two initials ‘Y.S.’ next to it. It’s a pretty special tattoo.”

“Juliet Rose?”

“Mn, it’s a very expensive rose so I remembered it. You can search it online.”

Zhou Qingluo knew that it was easy to find out who saved him as long as he asked the people that went drinking with him. However, he didn’t want anything to do with them or have any intersection with Song Ling.

He wasn’t going to be some substitute and had to earn money to support his family!

The original owner had just graduated from college and learned circuit design, but his grades were poor and he couldn’t find any good jobs. Most of his resumes sank into the deep sea and the others were 997¹9-9-7, from 9 AM to 9 PM, 7 days a week. electronic factories.

He was also a newcomer and had no traffic on Weibo. The largest original webtoons company Xingchen Comics would only publish works after a month of working…

Zhou Qingluo had no other choice but to deliver takeout.

He put on Zhou Shoulin’s delivery outfit and began working.

Zhou Shoulin: “Qingluo, why don’t you wait a little longer? Delivering takeout is very tiring.”

Zhou Qingluo smiled and comforted, “It’s okay for young people to suffer during the day as long as they don’t stay up late at night.”

“You can’t stand sun exposure for long. When you were a child, you broke out in rashes after going out in the summer for one day. You better not go.”

Zhou Qingluo touched his face, which was smooth and delicate, “That’s okay, it’s just a rash. It’ll go away when the weather gets cooler.”

Zhou Shoulin persuaded him again but Zhou Qingluo insisted so he couldn’t say much else. Besides, Zhou Qingluo’s rash wasn’t too bad and would go away after resting a few days.

He looked at the suddenly sensible Zhou Qingluo. Maybe the ICU was a spiritual development center, once you enter and escape the claws of death once, you’ll instantly mature.

After getting familiar with a few days, delivering food wasn’t as tough as Zhou Qingluo thought. Society was stable and harmonious, and most of them were kind-hearted brothers and sisters. Coupled with his handsome face and sweet mouth, five-star reviews flooded in and he became the fastest star rookie in the food delivery world!

Braving the rain and wind every day, his skin was tanned slightly and his body grew much stronger. He liked this feeling of running around in the sunlight.

He earned three to five hundred a day, and though it wasn’t as much as a single page of the comics he drew previously, he was very down-to-earth.

On this day, Zhou Qingluo received an order that was to be delivered to the 25th seat of an Internet café near his home.

This place was at the intersection between the urban and suburban area, fish and dragons mixing together. Here, Zhou Qingluo met his first “wonderful” experience in his food delivery career.

When he brought the takeout to the 25th seat, a man with dyed yellow hair was wearing headphones and playing games. His brows were furrowed, typing on the keyboard furiously and cussing out his teammates. At one glance, he was about to lose.

Zhou Qingluo placed the takeout on his table, “Hello, your food is here.”

The man didn’t raise an eye or bother about Zhou Qingluo, treating him like air.

Zhou Qingluo repeated himself slowly, very professionally.

As soon as he finished, the other was killed by the enemy. The bad part about this game was that when you died, rainbow-colored poo would fly from the top of the screen, burying you in a mountain of rainbow poo.

It didn’t hurt, but it was extremely insulting.

The person took off his earphones in anger, slammed it on the keyboard, and turned around and glared at Zhou Qingluo, shouting: “Jabbering on and on, I have ears! I’m not deaf! Just leave the damn food when it’s here and f*ck off! You made me lose! R*tard!”

Zhou Qingluo wasn’t frightened and stared at him calmly.

He once had a heart disease and couldn’t get angry. After a long time, he developed the ability to look on indifferently at fellow r*tards.

Zhou Qingluo put down the takeout and handed him the receipt, smiling slightly, “You made a note to bring two Red Bulls. I brought it, so you have to give me the money.”

The people around peeked but no one dared come forward to watch openly. The manager also pretended to be deaf, only furiously winking at Zhou Qingluo.

The yellow-haired man was tilted after losing and found any person to vent on. His dark face turned into a dried pork color from anger and he stood up from his seat with a bang, moving towards Zhou Qingluo. Their faces were almost sticking to each other.

Of course Zhou Qingluo knew that this was a “what ‘chu looking at” face, and he stared blatantly back, replying: looking at ‘chu, what you gonna do about it?

Zhou Qingluo wasn’t afraid, it was just that the other party’s big gold chain was a bit shiny, reminding him of his current poverty and he sighed a bit.

The man gloomily asked, “Do you know who I am?”

Zhou Qingluo raised an eyebrow and lowered his eyes to look at the receipt in his hand. The other person’s surname was Xia, given name Lin’an.

Zhou Qingluo laughed. Those that asked this question typically had an OP dad.

He glanced at the big gold chain on his neck and said indifferently, “Mr. Gold Chain, 12 yuan for two cans of Red Bull.”

The other was infuriated and raised a fist, about to beat down on the other.

Zhou Qingluo stood motionlessly in place, not even blinking, “10 yuan for two cans of Red Bull, 2 for running errands. In total, 12 yuan.”

At this time, the rainbow poo on the screen dispersed and the character came back alive.

The man pointed at his nose and yelled, “Daddy²He’s referring to himself. will take care of you after this game.”

Tsk, he had a bit of the esports spirit.

Just when he was going to sit down, Zhou Qingluo grabbed his wrist, squeezed it hard and lifted him up, not allowing him to sit.

The man’s expression twisted in pain as he cursed loudly, and there were faint gasps around them.

Zhou Qingluo redoubled his efforts without a change in expression, “Sir, please pay.”

Big Gold Chain honestly took out a hundred-yuan bill and slapped it against Zhou Qingluo’s chest. Although his action was cowardly, his tone was quite vicious: “Just you wait. Daddy’s going to cripple you.”

Zhou Qingluo took the money and was about to leave when he heard Big Gold Chain roar, “F*ck! Boss, what’s wrong with your computers?!”

His voice cracked due to fright.

Zhou Qingluo’s eyes twitched, almost getting scared to death.

On the screen was the picture of a woman hanging from a tree, blood gushing down. Two huge letters S and B³SB is cursing someone for being stupid. Similar to calling someone an idiot, stupid, ret*rd. floated in front.

The scene was half transparent at first and the game could still be scene. Big Gold Chain clicked randomly and the scene was gradually strengthened, as if it was going to crawl out of the screen and grab them. It was quite terrifying.

But looking at Big Gold Chain’s frightened and twisted expression, Zhou Qingluo felt that it was a bit comedic.

The manager ran over and was also startled, but he couldn’t get rid of it no matter what he did. Finally, he concluded with a head full of sweat, “It looks like your computer was hacked.”

Zhou Qingluo folded the hundred-yuan bill given to him and tucked it into his pocket. Then, he said seriously: “Perhaps, the gods have appeared. After all, the gods are watching your every move from above.”

Everyone’s eyes turned towards Zhou Qingluo. After a long silence, someone couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

With that, the others also didn’t hold back and started laughing. Seems like they were all bullied by Big Gold Chain and took this opportunity to mock him.

As a famous comedy blogger, Zhou Qingluo knew how to attract crowds and make them laugh.

He added with a casual smile, “Mr. Jin, when you’re outside, you must strictly abide by the core socialist values.”

Big Gold Chain pointed at Zhou Qingluo’s nose, scolding as he retreated out of the café, “Just you wait. Just you wait!”

Everyone laughed even louder. Only the manager sweat profusely, trying his best to figure out the issue. After staring at the picture of the hanging ghost for a while, it wasn’t scary anymore.

Just as Zhou Qingluo was leaving, the desperate manager grabbed onto his hand, “Your delivery group has a lot of talent. Why don’t you give it a try?”

Zhou Qingluo: “?”

The manager had a sincere expression, “There’s a lot of videos online saying that delivery boys know how to draw, arrange flowers, program, interior design, three foreign languages, and even have doctoral students.”

Zhou Qingluo stared at him speechlessly, really wanting to remind him not to blindly trust in online content. Otherwise, you would be stocking up on “healthcare” products when you get older.

He smiled kindly, “Don’t be so worried, our delivery service isn’t so godly.”

Zhou Qingluo was about to leave when he inadvertently saw the man in seat 26.

He was actually programming!

Just like a movie, his slender and powerful fingers flew on the black keyboard, strings of white characters jumping on the screen.

The man was about his age. He was staring at the screen intently, had a high nose bridge, a strong jawline, and his profile was very handsome.

However, his skin was white, so white it was about to meld with his clean white shirt.

He was obviously a clean and tidy person with a cold beauty.

Zhou Qingluo wondered if this person was a star filming a movie about hackers.

He looked around for hidden cameras, in case he inadvertently became an extra.

Otherwise, who would be coding in an Internet café on the fringes?

The manager was still pinning his hopes on Zhou Qingluo.

Zhou Qingluo cleared his throat and pointed to the person in Seat 26, “Maybe he can help.”

That person just happened to finish and tapped the ‘Enter’ key with his long fingers, closed the window, and unplugged his USB.

The manager saw his new hope and looked gratefully at Zhou Qingluo, reminding him kindly: “Brother, that person just now is surnamed Xia, not Jin. You can’t assume his surname’s Jin just because he’s wearing a gold (jin) chain.”

Zhou Qingluo: “…” You know too much.

The manager turned his head and asked for help from No. 26, “Brother, can you help me look at this computer?”

The man turned his head and Zhou Qingluo couldn’t help but click his tongue. It turned out that not only was his profile handsome, his frontal face was even more striking. His features were three-dimensional, sharp and cold, easily becoming the focus of the crowd.

His face seemed to be cut by a knife, and a simple turn of his head seemed to have the special effects of a Mary Sue’s debut applied to it.

Zhou Qingluo admired him like a priceless statue, his gaze freezing when he passed over his Adam’s apple.

He saw a tattoo to the right of his artery.

The tattoo was the most precious flower—a blooming Juliet Rose with two letters Y.S.

The letters and flower were intertwined, seemingly telling of many tales.

Fair skin, tattoo, white shirt, the person in front of him and the vague figure of his savior slowly overlapped.

Really, the things you’re looking for always appear in the strangest places.

Zhou Qingluo controlled his emotions and tried to not make himself seem too urgent: ‘Your Majesty, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake?’⁴From “Huanzhu Gege”, Qianlong met Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake and promised to come back and find her. However, he never came back. Later, when Xia Yuhe was dying, she told her daughter to go to the capital to find her father and told her these words.

The man didn’t notice his gaze and looked at the anxious manager, saying indifferently: “It’ll be gone in 10 seconds.”

Manager: “How do you know that?”

The man bluntly said, “I hacked it.”

Everyone: “…” Who didn’t know how to bullsh*t? His face was sure thick!

However, his eyes were too cold and tattoo too wild. Though he was handsome, he looked like a villain that wouldn’t bat an eye at bloodshed, so no one said a word.

The man slowly packed his things, and everyone craned their heads to see, silently staring at the computer, counting down the seconds.

Sure enough, ten seconds later, the computer shut down.

The man stood up, coldly saying: “Just restart it.”

The manager restarted it and sure enough, the computer was fine, no problems at all.

Zhou Qingluo: “…” Tattooing on the neck lifeline, hacking other people’s computers with such a fresh and refined photo, his savior sure had personality!

Manager: “Handsome, do you want to work at our place?”

Zhou Qingluo thought he was talking to him and immediately answered, “How much a month?”

Manager: “I’m asking him. We’re not looking for security guards right now.”

Zhou Qingluo: “…”

The man didn’t seem to be interested in listening to their nonsense, merely glancing at Zhou Qingluo before walking out of the café.

Zhou Qingluo hurriedly followed him out, calling out: “Wait.”

Long legs sure were amazing. Their strides were longer and they walked freaking fast.

The man turned his head back and Zhou Qingluo quickly ran up.

His helmet resembled a sunflower from Plants vs. Zombies, swaying as he ran.

Zhou Qingluo stopped in front of him, pulled off his helmet, straightened his messy hair and smiled, “Sorry, I’ve bothered you. My name is Zhou Qingluo. Two weeks ago, I drank too much at a bar and fainted. You were the one that called 120 (the police/ambulance) and sent me to the hospital, right?”

The person on the other side had a cold face and didn’t look at him, staring elsewhere.

The tail of his eyes went upwards and his pupil was a little higher and lighter in color than others, kind of like the eyes of a wolf. There was an inexplicable hostility that made people shudder.

He didn’t answer, so Zhou Qingluo took it as silent agreement.

Zhou Qingluo followed his eyes and looked at his helmet.

Don’t know what’s going on, but it seems like everyone’s very interested in a delivery boy helmet. Zhou Qingluo was already caught multiple times.

He quickly took off the outer piece and handed the sunflower doll to him, very magnanimously saying, “Do you like it? I’ll give it to you.”
