No one knows monsters better than me

Chapter 17
In the morning, half past nine.

The office building of the International Finance Center where Qin Ren's company is located is located in one of the most prosperous areas of Chengdu.

Just a year ago, when Qin Ren was still in college, every time he came here he felt relaxed and enjoying himself.

Although I don't have much money for shopping, it's a pleasant thing to come over to have a meal with a few roommates, to see girls and so on.

But now, when mentioning this place again, Qin Ren would only feel that his whole body was in a panic.

When he thinks of going to work, he immediately thinks of the queuing lobby on the first floor, the densely lit elevator buttons, and the beeping sound of fingerprint punching in. Qin Ren, the social animal, can only make such a leap forward in his imagination on this floor.

Especially in the last week of July, Qin Ren, who worked overtime for two consecutive days until 7 am, was already like a zombie when he arrived downstairs at the company.

……

"Yo…"

While waiting for the elevator in the lobby, a familiar voice came from behind him. Qin Ren turned his head and saw Zhou Chi, who was a zombie like himself.

"Yo."

He came a little closer, raised his hand again to say hello, and was slapped down by Qin Ren:

"Hey man, where are you from the island country animation male supporting role?"

"Why? Look down on Two-dimensional?"

"climb."

Qin Ren yawned:
"Didn't you leave at 3 o'clock yesterday?"

"What's the difference between 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock?"

"Yes, it's late at night before 3 o'clock, and it's early morning after 4 o'clock, don't you think?"

Zhou Chi tasted it, and it seemed to make sense.

I don't know why it makes sense, but it makes sense anyway.

--------

"Wow."

Entering the office, Zhou Chi found that only the two of them were young in the five design departments.

"Sister Dong and Sister Juan haven't come yet?"

"Nonsense, it's only 10 o'clock, and these women's physical strength is definitely not as strong as ours."

"Hey, be careful with your words and deeds, I'm recording, treat me to lunch at noon, otherwise I'll post on Weibo."

"roll."

Qin Ren raised the watering can for Luluo, and sprayed Zhou Chi's face casually:
"Sister Dong and Sister Juan may not come today, and Sister Yun and Sister Sun will not come today either."

"what?"

Zhou Chi wiped his face:

"Sister Yun fell down too?"

"No, she and sister Sun are on a business trip today."

Qin Ren shook the WeChat in his hand:

"It seems to be starting at 9 o'clock in the morning."

After getting off work at 4:9 and taking the bullet train at [-]:[-], he must be able to make up for sleepiness in the car. Zhou Chi couldn't help but lament that all beings are suffering, and then he made a cup of coffee and leaned back on his chair to start wandering:
"In our department, the prosperity of yin and the decline of yang are too serious. When will we recruit two interns, it would be great to help us share."

The truth is this, but it's not Zhou Chi's turn to worry about recruitment.

Right now, he was very leisurely. After taking a big sip of coffee, he began to wink at Qin Ren viciously:
"Brother Ren."

"Say."

"No one is here today, so we...can fish now?"

"This is..."

When Qin Ren heard this, he immediately narrowed his eyes treacherously and looked into the distance.

The entire half floor of the 11th floor of the International Finance Center is built by Qianhe Architecture. The fifth design department is on this side, and the company's boss's office is far away on the other side.

After Qin Ren looked around for a few times, he waved his hand:
"Touch! You can touch anything!"

Fishing is good, but it is not easy for private enterprises, especially private enterprises like design institutes.

Having a friend gives confidence, Zhou Chi immediately opened a picture of the building on the computer, and in order to show the reality, he opened a folder and a work group next to it, in case the boss would pass by silently later.

After the camouflage was completed, Zhou Chi put on the earphones, plugged in the USB cable, and turned the phone sideways impatiently.

"Playing mobile games again?"

"It's not considered playing, just doing daily work."

"Still making materials? What are you raising... Li Keqin?"

"Hey! It's Keqing!"

Zhou Chi gave Qin Ren the middle finger to despise him for mocking his wife.

Qin Ren curled his lips and said it didn't matter, he didn't dare to play mobile games anyway.

The elder sister in the family, the rent of water and electricity, the future down payment...

In addition to the one Pixiu I have raised now, all of these are places to spend money.

As a highly conscious proletariat who can break through the trap of consumerism, Qin Ren will never invest his savings in the evil 648.

Huh?Speaking of saving...is it time to settle the score?

Life forced Qin Ren to become a budget-conscious man. Every month, he had to calculate the current month's expenses. Now that July is coming to an end, he should evaluate the cost of raising Pixiu.

--------

In the afternoon, around 6:[-].

Qin Ren, who came home from get off work early, sat cross-legged on the sofa, frowning, tapping on the laptop in his arms.

"Meow."

Luo Yao held Tuantuan in her arms, and stood by and watched for a while without understanding what he was doing.

"Qin Ren?"

"Shh, don't call me."

Qin Ren took a deep breath and pressed the bridge of his nose:

"I'm in a mess right now..."

Mess?

Who is Lanma?

After getting along for so long, Qin Ren didn't feel like Luo Yao in his heart, which made Lord Spirit Beast a little sad.

And the one who was more sad than Luo Yao was Qin Ren.

After calculation, he found that this month's expenses were really terrifying.

After the hard consumption and fixed deposit were deducted, there was only 200 yuan left!

The reason for this result was that apart from purchasing the necessary daily necessities for Luo Yao, the main reason was that the food was so delicious.

No matter whether you make it yourself or buy it, each meal is usually the food intake of two and a half adults, and there is basically a supper every day.

Qin Ren also tried not to give Luo Yao supper, or to feed her a few bites less.

As for her, she wasn't noisy at all. Anyway, she hugged Tuan Tuan, sitting on the sofa like a doll that no one wanted, her small mouth was tightly pursed, and the tears were dripping in her eyes as she kept spinning, Qin Qin couldn't bear to see her. Ren always feels that he is a big villain.

"Oh! I can't afford it, I can't afford it!"

Qin Ren looked at the form on the computer, looked up to the sky and sighed, and then gave a death order:

"Start with simple tea and light meals today, one meal of meat for three days!"

"what…"

"No, ah, change it to one meal a week."

Luo Yao reluctantly covered her small mouth.

"Meow…"

Tuantuan brushed his sense of presence beside him, and Qin Renchuan changed his face drastically:
"Tuantuan, your dried fish is not included, don't worry."

"Meow~"

Tuantuan put up his tail and proudly walked over on Luo Yao's instep, quite like a demonstration.

……

In fact, the days of not eating meat are not as bad as Luo Yao imagined.

That night, Qin Ren proved the gold content of simple food with his ability.

He boiled a big pot of white rice porridge, without fancy things, just added some goji berries and red dates, and scooped up the dried ones as much as possible for Pixiu to satisfy his hunger.

Then there are the dishes, Qin Ren is going to use cold dishes that are more suitable for rice, to give Pai Xiu a few more bowls of porridge, which can not only feed you but also save money.

For tonight, he played two sets.

One plate is cold dried tofu. The marinated dried tofu and cucumber are cut into shreds, sprinkled with salt, mixed with a little soy sauce and a few spoons of red oil. The unique smooth taste is released in the mouth, chewing a chopstick is enough to drink a big mouthful of porridge.

The other plate is cold Zhe Ergen.

Zheergen is Houttuynia cordata, also known as Cencao. Although the earliest edible records can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, until today, if it is not for the local traditional eating habits, many people still sneer at the taste of Houttuynia cordata.

"It smells so good!"

"You don't want to eat meat anymore?"

"I want to, but it smells so good!"

Luo Yao ate the pot and looked at the pot, and then picked up the chopsticks to eat, including the folded ears.

However, because Qin Ren hadn't cooked cold dishes for a long time, Qin Ren didn't know how to season them properly, so after a few mouthfuls, Luo Yao started to slap her pink tongue, and was swirled by hot tears.

"Quick, drink more porridge."

The red oil at home was learned by Qin Ren from Wang Gang at station b. It was strong enough. After Luoyao finished her porridge, she drank Qin Ren's, and Qin Ren's also drank water, and finally suppressed the irritation on her tongue. .

"Open your mouth."

"what--"

"Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt~"

Fortunately, it is a Pixiu, otherwise it might not be just a matter of lip service...

"Qin Ren, I feel that you are thinking about some random things."

Luo Yao clutched her round buttocks, blushed, and stared at Qin Ren warily.

"illusion."

Qin Ren withdrew his thoughtful gaze and urged her to take a bath.

----------

After taking a shower, Luo Yao changed into a new set of nightdress, a simple sleeveless suspender with a pink ribbon on the neckline.

Luo Yao liked this nightdress very much, after changing it, she ran to the balcony, waiting for the wind to blow, and then twirled around.

The moonlight floated over the girl's body lightly, reflecting her soft skin that was almost transparent, her clean cheeks glowed lightly under the moon, and the light skirt fluttered up. Although she was full of fairy spirit, she was sitting on the sofa behind her. Qin Ren on the bed gradually narrowed his eyes, and through the projection of the moonlight, the more he looked at it, the more something was wrong:

"Luo Yao."

"Ok?"

"What about your insides?"

"What... oh."

Luo Yao reacted and blinked, lifted up her nightgown and looked at it, then covered her face in embarrassment:

"I forgot to wear it..."

"..."

Seeing that Qin Ren's face began to turn black, Luo Yao preconceived and reminded him:

"Don't kill me!"

Then he ran back to the bedroom, and ran out again after a while.

"Ready?"

"Uh-huh."

The little girl's thoughts and interests always shifted quickly. Seeing Qin Ren playing with her mobile phone, she stopped going to the balcony to change her beloved skirt. She climbed onto the sofa and put her little head closer:
"Want to watch Journey to the West?"

"dont see."

"why?"

Luo Yao currently thinks that "Journey to the West" is the best in the world. The previous "Legend of Sword and Fairy" lost interest after only watching a few episodes.

"I've read it too many times since I was a child, and I will recite it by heart."

Qin Ren's big membership is about to expire. In order to save money, and there is no content worthy of membership on station b now, he doesn't plan to renew next month, so he wants to watch a few more big membership movies for free at the end of the month blockbuster.

"What is a blockbuster?"

"It's just a movie for grown-ups."

"I want to see too."

"You are not an adult."

"This seat is 18..."
