The Golden-Eyed Life of a Security Guard

At 7 p.m., Gu Yuebai had just finished getting ready when the doctor had already made his rounds and Shen Ling had gone to bed.

Gu Yuebai left the ward and went to the back door.

Lin Yue'e had already taken off her nurse's uniform and was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, carrying a canvas tote bag. She still looked very youthful and beautiful.

Where are some good places to eat around here?

Gu Yuebai ran up to Lin Yue'e and stood side by side with her.

"Delicious? Zhong Yulou is delicious, but unfortunately I can't afford it."

Zhongyulou is a famous bullfrog and fish hot pot restaurant in Ruian County. It has several branches in the county. It is a big brand, and a table costs seven or eight hundred yuan.

For ordinary wage earners, eating out once can really hurt their wallets.

Zhongyulou has stores not only in Ruian County, but also in Yuncheng.

In the past, in order to please Li Siyi, he would treat her to a meal every month.

He also remembered that Li Siyi loved to eat frogs and would always order several kilograms of bullfrogs.

"Then let's go to Zhongyulou. It'll be my treat."

"You're treating me? Didn't Auntie say you work as a security guard in Yuncheng? Don't spend money, just eat something simple. Earning money isn't easy for anyone."

Lin Yue'e wanted to save some money for Gu Yuebai.

"I have money. I made a lot of money on my trip to Yuncheng. It's no big deal to eat it once."

"How much do you earn?" Lin Yue'e tilted her head and asked curiously.

"Many tens of thousands, I guess," Gu Yuebai said vaguely.

"Oh! That's quite a lot. Alright, you've got money, landlord, I'll rip you off."

Lin Yue'e also really wanted to try it. She had been in Ruian County for many years but had never eaten at Zhong Yulou's restaurant.

The two took a taxi and arrived at the Zhongyulou store on Ruihua Road.

This is the busiest street in Ruian. In front of Zhongyu Tower, all thirty tables are full of people.

"Wow, it's so lively. Looks like we'll have to wait in line." Gu Yuebai stood next to Lin Yue'e, looking at the crowded Zhongyu Tower.

"Yes. That's how people are; the more lively the place, the more people flock there to eat." Lin Yue'e wasn't very tall; standing next to Gu Yuebai, she was a head shorter.

The waiter came over with a pot of hot pot broth. In his haste, he almost bumped into Lin Yue'e. Gu Yuebai quickly pulled her into his arms, shielded her with his arm, and helped the waiter up.

Now, with the blessing of the Time-Reversing Eye, Gu Yuebai is physically strong and possesses strength far exceeding that of ordinary people.

This series of actions proceeded without the slightest hindrance, a perfect rescue.

Lin Yue'e was almost scalded with the bottom of the pot and was still in shock.

The waitress quickly apologized; she never expected that a young man would pinch her like a chick.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Lin Yue'e broke free from Gu Yuebai's embrace, stroked her hair, and shook her head repeatedly.

"They've finished eating. Please come and sit down." The waiter felt embarrassed and quickly invited them to sit down.

If it weren't for Gu Yuebai's help, I probably would have lost money on this pot of broth, which cost several tens of yuan.

The two sat down, and Gu Yuebai handed the menu to Lin Yue'e, saying, "It's my treat today, so please eat whatever you like."

"Hehe, you're the host. Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Lin Yue'e's smile was like a gentle spring breeze.

Although Lin Yue'e said she wouldn't be polite, she actually only ordered one fish and two catties of frog.

"Would you like some wine?" Lin Yue'e asked.

"Sure, I can't really drink much." Gu Yuebai said deliberately that he couldn't drink much, but he drank a case of beer last time in Yuncheng.

"Then let's have a beer."

"Aren't you going to drink?" Lin Yue'e quickly shook her head. "I can't drink. If I drink, I'll have to go back... You drink."

"Oh." Gu Yuebai was clearly somewhat disheartened.

Not long after, the waiter brought over the hot pot base. "I specially spoke to the owner to give you an extra dish. Thank you for helping me earlier."

Gu Yuebai didn't mind at all. "It was nothing. Thank you for your kindness."

While waiting for the food to be served, Lin Yue'e kept checking her phone and glancing outside, seemingly somewhat worried.

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing. My husband is about to go home. If I get home late, he won't have anything to eat."

"You're so good to him. You have him in your heart and think about him all the time," Gu Yuebai said with a bittersweet feeling.

Speaking of Foreman Li, Lin Yue'e couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow. She silently shook her head: "No..."

The dishes were all served, and the two began to eat.

Lin Yue'e seemed to really enjoy eating frogs, and Gu Yuebai noticed that Lin Yue'e especially liked bullfrog legs. She accepted every bullfrog Gu Yuebai offered her.

She ate the whole pot of bullfrogs by herself, while Gu Yuebai ate the fish.

I occasionally have a drink.

Sometimes, watching someone you like eat can give you a genuine sense of happiness.

Of course, Gu Yuebai couldn't say he liked Lin Yue'e; he just felt good watching her eat.

"Do you think sitting here like this counts as a date?"

Lin Yue'e almost spat out the bullfrog she had just eaten, leaving her speechless with shock.

"Don't joke like that. You can't joke like that. I'm a married woman and a mother of three. Don't joke like that."

Lin Yue'e clearly didn't take Gu Yuebai's words seriously and continued eating.

"You eat too, don't stop. Hehehe, it's so delicious. Here, you have a frog too."

Lin Yue'e placed a frog in Gu Yuebai's bowl.

"Hey, Mr. Zhu, come this way. I've already reserved a table. Come on, come on over. Zhong Yulou's bullfrog and fish is absolutely amazing!"

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Yue'e turned around abruptly.

She spotted the man at the door immediately, quickly put down her chopsticks, and stealthily left Zhong Yulou through the crowd.

Gu Yuebai glanced at the tall, dusty man in blue cloth clothes who was bowing and scraping before the man in the suit.

Gu Yuebai quickly grabbed Lin Yue'e's canvas bag, hurriedly paid the bill at the front desk, and came out.

The man had sharp eyes and spotted the canvas bag Gu Yuebai was carrying, which had a clear red "Lin" character on it.

He couldn't help but frown as he gazed at Gu Yuebai's figure.

The boss patted the man on the shoulder, and he finally came to his senses.

"Private room, Mr. Zhu, this is the private room I booked. Please come in."

The group walked inside.

After leaving Zhongyulou, Gu Yuebai called Lin Yue'e.

Lin Yue'e told Gu Yuebai that she was waiting for him at the bus stop ahead.

Gu Yuebai rushed to the station and saw Lin Yue'e hiding in a corner, her face pale.

"What's wrong? That man?"

Lin Yue'e took the canvas bag from Gu Yuebai's hand and said somewhat coldly, "That's my man, the man who beat me for eight years."

"Let's go, I'll take you home." Gu Yuebai hailed a car on the roadside and drove away with Lin Yue'e.

The taxi stopped in Ruilin Lane, an old residential area that is at least twenty or thirty years old, with dilapidated furnishings and dim streetlights that were sometimes on and sometimes off.

The exterior walls of the houses are already peeling. Walking into the alleys leading into the residential area, you can't see anything and can only walk in the dark.
