Eight o'clock in the morning.
Capital City, the taxi drove into the city.
They found a random department store and got out of the car. Dong Xuebin and Zhong Lizhen went in to buy clothes. Dong Xuebin bought a not very expensive jacket. After all, the previous suit was stolen from someone else. Firstly, he couldn't get used to wearing it, and secondly, it was dirty. But when Dong Xuebin found Zhong Lizhen and saw the clothes she was putting on, she was speechless for a long time. It turned out to be a new white coat. Fortunately, this department store was quite old, otherwise there really wasn't such work clothes sold anywhere else, and no one would buy them.
"You want this?"
"Well, that's it." The Power of Time and Wealth 1136
"Well, isn't this a bit rigid?"
"It doesn't matter. I'm used to it. Let's pay."
Zhong Lizhen didn't have a penny with him, so naturally he wanted Dong Xuebin to pay, so he took out his wallet and counted the bill to pay. It was quite expensive, eighty-five.
When Dong Xuebin turned around, Zhong Lizhen had already put on his white coat. He didn't look like a scientist, but like a complete doctor.
"Shall we go?" Dong Xuebin said.
Zhong Lizhen took out a notebook from somewhere, nodded, took a pen and wrote on it a few times, "Guazi, eighty, I will pay you back later." After a pause, she put the invoice away and turned to Dong Xuebin asked for the invoice for his clothes, and wrote, "Your coat is 399. This is because I threw away your previous clothes, so it is also counted as mine. The previous taxi fare is also counted as mine, 156, the total is..."
Dong Xuebin said hurriedly, "Oh, oh, oh, don't be polite."
Zhong Lizhen doesn't listen. I jotted it down and said, "One code leads to another. Well, although there are some things that I can't figure out clearly, I have written them all down."
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly. He was not used to calculating clearly with others, but he also understood Professor Zhong's character. People who deal with research data all year round must not make any mistakes. If a number is wrong, the experiment will fail. That's why I developed this character. Dong Xuebin doesn't want to be serious with her anymore. Zhong Lizhen has a rigid mind, so it's useless for him to be serious.
After a while. Zhong Lizhen finished remembering, "That's it."
"Then let's go to Bath Center?" Dong Xuebin asked.
Zhong Lizhen frowned and said, "I don't really like that kind of place. Let's go to the hotel to wash up."
"That's alright. I just want to take a shower anyway. Then let's find a hotel nearby."
Both of them were covered in dust and their hair was sticky. It was impossible not to take a shower.
A Express Hotel door.
Dong Xuebin and Zhong Lizhen walked in.
In front of the service desk, the female staff member said with a professional smile, "Is this accommodation?"
Dong Xuebin nodded, took out his wallet and swiped his card. However, I don't know if I bumped into it while fighting with someone, but the bank card inside was actually broken. Dong Xuebin was stunned, blinked, and then rummaged through the remaining RMB in the wallet. There are only more than four hundred. The Power of Time and Wealth 1136
Dong Xuebin asked, "How much does a single room cost per day?"
The female staff member smiled slightly and said, "It's two hundred and sixty-six."
It's not expensive, after all, it's Express Hotel, but cash...
Dong Xuebin looked at Zhong Lizhen helplessly, and Zhong Lizhen also saw his broken bank card and hesitated. Then he said to the front desk, "Get a single room."
The female staff member looked at them both strangely.
Dong Xuebin was a little embarrassed and handed over his ID card.
The staff member said, "You two live together? That requires two people's ID cards. If there are two people, a single room is fine..."
The main reason was that Zhong Lizhen had no documents and was taken away by the research institute. Dong Xuebin immediately said, "I live alone."
"Oh." The staff immediately registered him, but they still looked at them strangely. One was in his forties and the other was in his twenties. It would be strange not to look at them.
Zhong Lizhen was also a little unnatural, pretending to look to the side.
After the formalities were completed, the female staff member gave the room card to Dong Xuebin.
After Dong Xuebin put it away, he went upstairs with Zhong Lizhen, but was stopped by the female staff member. The little girl smiled bitterly and said, "You have a single room, the two of you..."
Dong Xuebin was a little annoyed, "What's wrong with the two of you?"
The little girl said, "Then this lady also needs a valid ID..."
Dong Xuebin said, "My eldest sister doesn't live in the house, why don't we go up and have a chat? Why do I have to give you my ID? I'm staying here and my friends are not allowed in?"
The female staff member remained silent.
Zhong Lizhen pulled him and said, "Let's go."
Only then did Dong Xuebin notice that when he made a sound, many people in the hall were looking at the two of them. Dong Xuebin wiped his sweat and quickly got on the elevator with Zhong Lizhen.
Oh, what a shame.
I can't even afford two single rooms, so I have to get a new bank card quickly.
In a single room. The Power of Time and Wealth 1136
A bed, a bathroom, and basically nothing else.
After entering the house and seeing the bed, Dong Xuebin always felt a little strange, the atmosphere was too weird.
"You can wash it first." Dong Xuebin said.
Zhong Lizhen Yes, I entered the bathroom.
Dong Xuebin was waiting outside smoking a cigarette. Listening to the faint buzzing sound in his ears, his mind couldn't help but wander a little, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
Half an hour later.
Zhong Lizhen came out, still wearing the same white coat, with wet hair, and a delicate feeling on his skin, which was much cleaner. The white coat was not fastened, and she did not wear the suit that Dong Xuebin had stolen for her. She only wore her own white shirt. However, Dong Xuebin always felt like she could see two red dots on the bulging chest of her shirt. Zhong Lizhen's bra was broken.
What a vacuum!
Dong Xuebin Thinking wildly!
I don't know if Zhong Lizhen noticed it or something, but he stretched out his hand and tied up the white coat.
"You go ahead."
"Hey."
Dong Xuebin also went into the bathroom to take a bath.
He washed quickly and came out in more than ten minutes. When he came out, he saw Zhong Lizhen lying on the window in a daze. There was a notepad and a pen on the bed. He glanced at it and seemed to see another line of words underneath, which seemed to read something like two hundred and sixty-six for accommodation.
Alas, the calculation is so clear.
Dong Xuebin said, "I'm fine."
"... Hmm."
"What are you thinking about?"
Zhong Lizhen looked at the scenery downstairs sadly, "I haven't been back for a long time. I drifted here and there. Finally I realized that this is my home. It feels good."
"Welcome back, Professor Zhong."
"Yeah." Zhong Lizhen turned around, "You still have more than a hundred dollars in your wallet. A taxi should be enough. Let's go. I'll take you to see Sister Han and return the money to you. By the way, thank you for risking your life to save me this time."
"Sister Han?"
"Well, didn't you mention Xie Huilan last time? Did you learn about me and my interpersonal relationship here from others or from information? To determine whether I am Zhong Lizhen? Then you should have heard of Sister Han, and Sister Han is her mother." (To be continued.
