The Zombie King Wants To Live An Ordinary Life

“There will be times when the wind and waves break, and the clouds and sails will be hung straight up to benefit the sea.” This fine calligraphy of dragons and phoenixes hung across the white and clean wall of the director's office.

Lu Ren sat on the majestic black leather sofa, feeling nothing in his heart.

After a simple lunch with one bowl of instant noodles for one person, Lu Ren led the dull young man to the Administration Department of the Special Human Resources Bureau to report. They arrived at the front foot, and someone greeted them on the back foot, and then he and You You were directed to different places. You You followed Director Zhao to go through the formalities, and while he was waiting in the hall, an elite uncle who was over 50 years old begged for help.

The elite uncle has some flowers in his hair, is wearing a custom-made suit, stepping on expensive leather shoes, and holding three big cardboard boxes that are tired together. As a rookie who just entered the job, he has nothing to do with his left and right sides, Lu Ren readily agreed to help the uncle move the cardboard box to the office.

At first, Lu Ren guessed that the other party was a senior with a similar position to Director Zhao. Later, when the uncle took out a magnetic card and took him to the special stairs to the top floor, he realized that his layout was too small and his ideas were ridiculously wrong.

The uncle elite is no one else, but Lu Ren's boss, the director of the Special Human Resources Bureau.

On the second day after entering the job, he was invited into the director's private office. In addition to feeling his luck, Lu Ren only accepted the reality with a smile on his face.

"Don't be too nervous, Doctor Lu." Uncle Elite responded to Lu Ren with a kind smile, "I didn't expect to see you on the way back to the office, so I wanted to ask you a favor and chat by the way."

Lu Ren felt a little bit in his heart. When the uncle who had never seen him called out his name accurately, it was hard for him to believe that the meeting in the director's room was a coincidence.

"Come on, drink some chrysanthemum tea to clear away the heat, and it's good for the eyes."

"Thank you, Director Zhang." Lu Ren took the tea cup with both hands and looked at the floating white dried flowers.

"You're welcome." Director Zhang sat closer to Lu Ren, with a tone as if he cared about the elders of the child, "How does it feel to be in the Special Human Resources Bureau for two days?"

"Um...very good, I have already started to adapt." Lu Ren said dryly.

"At work or in life, have you encountered anything unsatisfactory?" Director Zhang continued to ask.

Lu Ren thought for a while and shook his head: "Our Special Human Resources Bureau is very good in all aspects."

"Then the state of the students is okay?" Director Zhang hesitated, "From how you feel after contact."

Lu Ren was stunned. He thought that Director Zhao hadn't finished speaking on the phone in the morning, and suddenly some detected the purpose of the Director looking for him.

"Director, I can ask, this retrainee... who is he?" Lu Ren did not immediately answer Director Zhang, but first raised a question.

"The foundation of the Special Human Resources Bureau, do you know?" Director Zhang looked at Luren for a while and sighed.

"The foundation? Is our Special Human Resources Bureau operated?" Lu Ren was a little surprised.

"The foundation is a non-profit organization in plain terms, with the purpose of developing public welfare undertakings. I say this foundation is the'National Special Talent Employment Assistance Foundation', which aims to help the survivors of spiritual trauma after the end of the world. Solve their livelihood problems and promote the stability of the social environment.” Director Zhang explained, “As of now, our foundation has approximately 500 million peace coins.”

"Five hundred million?" Lu Ren took a breath.

"In the early days of order restoration, the government’s finances were also very tight. Money had to be spent on a knife. It was difficult to take care of all aspects of showcasing. Many units were short of money, and most of our special human resources bureaus were able to carry out training smoothly. It’s because of the foundation’s assistance,” Director Zhang said meaningfully, “I want to tell you that the foundation is funded by the Huo family.”

Huo is an extremely resounding surname throughout the country. If Lu Ren remembers it correctly, at the beginning of the end of the world, the marshal who first represented the army’s war of zombies seemed to have the surname Huo, Huo Blin.

Does You You have something to do with that famous Marshal Huo? Lu couldn't help being a little shocked.

"This is considered confidential. Very few people know about the Special Human Resources Bureau. I can't be too clear, but that's what you want." Director Zhang took a sip of the chrysanthemum tea. I know that the nature of deliberately hurting the employees of the unit is very serious. If it weren't for the person who spoke to take special care, according to the content of the "Olive Flower Peace Management Regulations", he would live in the supervision room all his life."

It's no wonder that I was ashamed of being pointed at by dozens of guns that day. After a long time, I was a family member with a backer. Lu Ren nodded, he understood.

"Director Zhang, you came to me today because of—"

"I heard from Director Zhao that the returning trainees lived in your staff dormitory last night." Director Zhang looked down at the tea cup and said slowly.

Lu Ren was stunned, and suddenly remembered the clause that he had missed when signing the contract. It seemed that there was a saying that employees of the unit were not allowed to take people back to the dormitory at will.

"Director Zhang, yesterday's situation was an accident, and it won't happen in the future." Lu Ren later realized that he had violated the rules and regulations of the Special Human Resources Bureau, and took the initiative to review his mistakes with the Director.

"Establishing a heart-to-heart friendly relationship with problem students is exactly the excellent quality that our special human resources bureau's instructors should possess." Director Zhang stood up and patted Pai Lu Ren on the shoulder, and made a final word without warning. "Let's live together in the future, so that you can keep track of his situation at any time."

"Live, live together?" Lu Ren was a little confused by the sudden turn.

"Yes, I think this is a good idea." Director Zhang said, "what do you think, Dr. Lu."

Lu Ren was silent. According to his understanding of the human workplace, this kind of situation that the leader first agreed with, as a newcomer, he only needs to nod and agree with him.

However, if he and You You live together every day, Lu Ren can be sure that his vision of living a stable life will definitely be shattered.

"Director Zhang, I think if two people live in, the furnishings of that dormitory is not enough." Lu Ren tactfully raised his objection.

"Don't worry, the hardware problems will be solved by professional people." Director Zhang waved his hand, indicating not to worry.

"Then the student's usual clothing, housing and transportation..."

"Doctor Lu, don't worry, I'm thinking about these issues for you in front." Director Zhang patted Lu Ren on the back and opened the door of the Director's room. "You can just say whether you want it or not."

"Director Zhang, I am really powerless." Lu Ren thought for a while, and chose to stick to his bottom line.

"Really? If you want, the foundation promises to give you an extra 10,000 yuan a month for living allowance." Director Zhang added.

"I think...I should be able to try it." Lu Ren gave in under the temptation of money.

"Okay, I know that Doctor Lu will definitely be able to do it." After receiving Lu Ren's consent, the director smiled with satisfaction. He opened the door of the director's room and personally drove Lu Ren to the elevator.

"One month an extra 10,000 yuan subsidy, 120,000 yuan a year, 360,000 yuan in three years, and the money for buying an apartment is almost earned." Lu Ren stood in the elevator thinking about a bright future. , Thinking that I can make up enough money to buy a house after working for three years, it is rare to hum a joyous little tune.

Housing, single, high salary, iron rice bowl... Lu Ren is gradually moving closer to the high-quality men in the marriage market. He believes that after this year, he is destined not to continue to be a single dog that "everyone can bully".

The elevator door opened in front of Lu Ren, and a blue and white figure appeared before his eyes.

Most people have an unattainable silhouette in their hearts when they were students. You know his name, recognize his appearance, understand his excellence, but never say a word to him. Your understanding is one-sided, you know him for granted, and it is impossible for him to know you.

Some people are born with great attention and are destined to be outstanding. It's something that everyone can dress up exactly the same and can't hide it.

"Where have you been?" You You greeted him.

"Ah, the director just talked to me about work." Lu Ren returned to his senses, looking away from the young man, "Have you completed the formalities for returning to school?"

"After finishing it, they also changed my training suit." You You pulled the collar uncomfortably. "It feels weird."

"I think it's good." Lu Ren's voice stopped, "stronger than the previous one."

"Doctors like this? Do students play?" You You nodded seemingly.

"Don't speculate about other people's hobbies at will. I'm a person of low-level taste." Lu Ren pouted and walked out, "I will go home when I'm done."

You You was stunned by the unintentional term "go home".

"Standing at what is going on, go." The man stood at the door scratching his head and said to himself, "The cafeteria is not open, and the refrigerator at home is empty. The 20-year-old kid can't eat instant noodles all at once. ."

Youyou stared at the man's slender back in a daze, then rubbed his nose with her eyes down, and quickly followed.

"Why don't you eat onions? I thought that onions from foreigners are similar to our garlic chives." Lu Ren carried the bag, and the sensor door at the door of the dormitory opened automatically.

"Doctor, you are prejudiced. Although I am a mixed race, I have lived in China for a long time. I like spicy food." You You also carried a supermarket bag in his hand, the one he forgot to take last night.

"Is that right? I just bought a bunch of messy vegetables and eat the spicy hot pot at night." Lu Ren finally set the recipe for the evening.

"Let me open the door, the doctor is carrying things in his hands." You lobby.

"Well, the key is in my pants pocket." Lu Ren was a little uncomfortable, feeling the young man's hand touching his thigh skin through a layer of fabric.

Lu Ren is still in a weird feeling, the door of the dormitory is opened by You You...

Imitation stone floor tiles are parqueted on the ground, and the walls are decorated with uneven wooden wall panels. The simple and luxurious solid wood furniture complements the sculpture crafts in the entire room. Every detail visible to the naked eye reveals the luxurious atmosphere. The keynote of the decor.

"We went to the wrong room." Lu Ren looked at the colorful and delicately crafted slender bottle scene on the table, his expression hesitant.

You You didn't show any surprise, eyes drooping.

Two figures walked out of the kitchen. A woman in a black formal dress and a big muscular big brother, high-heeled shoes fell like the tip of a knife on the translucent floor tiles and made a crisp sound. They walked in front of Lu Ren and You You, the two faces with very different appearances showed the same professional smiles at the same time, "Doctor Lu, you are back. I'm sorry, we cleaned this dormitory while you were out. Again. Because you have not been asked for your opinion in advance. So I don’t know if you are satisfied with the current style."

"Secretary Song, this shouldn't count as cleaning anymore." Lu Ren looked at the old acquaintance, "Even the snail girl can't do this in this life."

The snail girl is a folklore character. Lu Ren used this allusion to joking to ease the embarrassment of two big living people suddenly appearing at home. However, Secretary Song is a working brain who is good at analyzing needs from words, and the thinking mode she developed cannot Understand the humor in Lu Ren's words.

"If you say you need dinner, we have sealed the food prepared in advance." Secretary Song opened the notebook that he carried with him. "Four meals and one soup, the taste and cuisine refer to the original place of residence in your information. ."

"I didn't mean that... But, in such a short time, did you even help with dinner?" Lu Ren was shocked by the amazing work efficiency of the supervision room. He walked into the kitchen and found that there was indeed a table of delicious dishes. .

"Secretary Song, thanks for your hard work, and helped us cook such a rich dinner." Lu Ren thanked him.

"I didn't make these meals." Secretary Song reached out to the big brother beside him, "It is Officer Liu. Before the end of the world, he was the descendant of Jinling cuisine."

"The people in the control room are really... versatile." Lu Ren nodded politely towards the mighty, strong and good at police officer Liu, "Thanks for your hard work."

"Hurry up when you're done and break into someone else's house without authorization. Do you want to show credit to someone else?" You You put the bag on the ground, her voice gloomy and scary.

The atmosphere of the whole room froze.

Lu Ren only showed an apologetic look, and first sent Secretary Song and Police Officer Liu out of the dormitory.

When he came back, You You was already sitting on the sofa, and the evening news was playing on the ultra-high-definition smart TV screen.

"Marshal Huo Blin of the Military Headquarters went to City H on August 31 to hold the first National Peaceful United Front Conference and delivered an important speech—"

Before the screen had time to cut to the live meeting of the off-site meeting, the channel was directly changed.

"It's late, let's have dinner first." Lu Ren brought the delicious and exquisite dishes to the table.

Officer Liu's craftsmanship is indeed so superb that even Lu Ren, who has no appetite, ate more than usual. However, the young man sitting opposite him put down his chopsticks without taking a few bites.

"Stop eating? Why do you only eat so much?" Lu Ren asked.

"Full." You You said simply.

"Are you in a bad mood? Why did you treat Secretary Song and Officer Liu so badly just now?" Lu Ren continued to ask.

"Because I hate them." You You lowered his eyelids, "Doctor, I was the kind of person with a bad attitude, otherwise I wouldn't stay in such a place."

"You shouldn't presuppose such an image for yourself." Lu Ren tried to guide the young people's thoughts. "When you talk to me, you are no different from ordinary people."

"Doctor, you should know that you are a special case." You lobby, "I only have so much patience."

"Can you try to get along with other people as me?" Lu Ren suggested.

"Impossible. I don't have the desire to have a relationship with them." You You suddenly looked up, "Can the doctor treat other people as me?"

Lu Ren was stuck when he was asked. He could have a foreboding that he would say "yes", and he was afraid that he would be upset tonight.

"For different people, feelings are of course different." Lu Ren answered ambiguously.

"Liar." You You muttered very quietly, and sat back in front of the TV.

"Do you know? This matter of living with me in the future." Lu Ren was washing the dishes in his hands, remembering this important thing and hadn't said yet.

The TV watcher let out an "um" sound.

Lu Ren is a little uncomfortable. It's not that he is narcissistic, but based on the results of his previous observations, You You's reaction is much colder than he thought.

Is this finally understood, or is the newness to him as an old man over? Lu Ren was in a complicated mood, and could not be said to be happy or unhappy. In addition to some rejoicing, there were also some unspeakable emotions.

Lu Ren thought about something inconsequential while tidying up the kitchen. Inadvertently, his eyes fell on the supermarket shopping bags that had not had time to pack.

"Are you angry with me?" Lu Ren asked suddenly.

"No." A muffled voice came from the sofa.

"

I promised to make you a spicy hot pot at night, but I didn’t do it. Is it because of this? "Lu Ren asked tentatively.

"..." The young man lowered his head, was silent for a long time, and finally hummed noncommittally.

Seeing this reaction from the other party, Lu Ren knew that he had found the key to the problem. If it was really because of the spicy incense pot he had promised, then he also understood why You You had a ferocious tone to Secretary Song and Officer Liu.

"Can I do it for you now?" After figuring out the reason, Lu Ren was a little bit dumbfounded.

"Forget it, I'm full." You You whispered.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't take long. Wait a while." Lu Ren took out a few vegetables from the refrigerator, "Since I have agreed, I must do it. I can't ignore it first."

There were waves of stir-frying sounds from the kitchen, and You You quietly turned her head, put her chin on the sofa, and looked at the flickering fire under the iron pan. Lu Ren turned his back to him, with a navy blue apron around his waist. Such a life scene contaminated with fireworks could not be more common, but You You could see it clearly. He feels that everything he sees now is very beautiful, he likes this room, he likes spicy hot pot, and people who like cooking.

He likes to see Lu Ren busy, provided that he is busy for him.

Such a scene will make his heart beat faster and give him the illusion, as if he has become the only person in the doctor's heart.

You You turned off the TV and sat back at the table again, waiting patiently for his own dinner.
