Take It Easy

Chapter 14 – Hell

Tell me why you ran away as soon as you saw me.

The next morning, Zhou Yi was woken up by three consecutive sneezes. She was top-heavy, her throat was hoarse and sore, and her nose was so blocked that she could barely breathe. She spread herself flat on the bed in despair, hoping that it would last until winter passed.

Turning his head, he saw an unsealed bag of biscuits on the corner of the desk, Zhou Yi fixed his gaze, and his memory began to come back.

In a short period of time, her face turned from red to pale, and finally there was nothing left but numbness.

It was just a drink, and she probably drank all the dignity of the rest of her life.

Do you want to change your life on another planet overnight?

forget it…

It’s only ten o’clock now, seven or eight hours before dark.

Zhou Yi pulled up the quilt and twisted into a caterpillar on the bed.

The time slowly passed eleven o’clock, Zhou Yi was hungry, so he washed his face casually, and dragged his feet downstairs to look for food.

“Xiao Hei, where’s brother?” Zhou Yi was lying on the door, asking Xiao Hei who was confirming the appointment information with the client.

The little black hand pointed back, “I pushed the picture that was scheduled in the morning, and I’m at home.”

Zhou Yi wondered, Tang Yuanzhou, who took tattoos as his life, still had a holiday?

Zhou Yi went back to find someone.

The moment he first met Mu Qinglin who was sitting opposite Tang Yuanzhou, Zhou Yi lost his mind, opened the door and rushed into the shop.

How did she forget that this man was coming to the store today to show Tang Yuanzhou the photos!

Careless!

But she flashed very fast just now, so she shouldn’t have been discovered, right?

“Buzz!” The phone vibrated suddenly.

Zhou Yi touched it out with lingering fear.

Mu Qinglin asked her on WeChat: 【What the hell? 】

You are scarier than ghosts.

Zhou Yi sighed in frustration.

She ran so fast, but she still didn’t escape Mu Qinglin’s eyes…

Zhou Yi quickly glanced at the door, making sure that Mu Qinglin couldn’t see it from this angle, and then pretended to ask: [What are you talking about? 】

Mu Qinglin: [Tell me why you ran away as soon as you saw me. 】

Zhou Yi: [Who ran away? 】

[Reporters must speak truthfully from facts. 】

Mu Qinglin: [You are right. 】

So easy to fool?

Zhou Yi didn’t believe it at all.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, Mu Qinglin called out: 【Can I take this medicine by myself? 】

Zhou Yi shook his hand, and the phone fell into the trash can with precision.

Hearing the voice, Xiao Hei glanced sideways and asked her, “Can I pick it up?”

With a sullen face, Zhou Yi kicked the trash can into a corner where no one cares about it.

Can’t you not mention the medicine?

Is she shameless?

Mu Qinglin is really simple.

Zhou Yi leaned back, leaning his back against the wall, and began to count down his next life.

One word sums it all up: darkness.

“Where’s the boss?!” The tattoo artist Nan Beihong blushed and hurried over to ask Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei gave him the same answer as Zhou Yi.

Bei Nan cried on the table, “I want to die…”

“I also want to, let’s make an appointment?” A faint human voice came from the corner, Nanbei’s figure trembled, and the person was almost scared.

“Don’t panic, you’re alive.” Xiao Hei lit a corner with a flashlight.

Nanbei followed the beam of light and looked over, as if seeing his mother who had been separated for many years, and almost rushed over to beg Zhou Yi, “Xiao Jiu, please help me!”

Zhou Yi was so frightened that his face was numb, and he jumped to the side like a corpse and shouted: “Speak up if you have something to say!”

Bei Nan’s face was full of despair, “I really can’t do it!”

Zhou Yi was vigilant, “Why not?”

“There is a little girl in the third year of high school who wants to get a tattoo. I said that our shop has rules and we don’t accept minors, so she started crying!” Beibei broke down, “If it’s a boy, I can do it with a leg.” Throw it out, girls don’t dare to be aggressive, they don’t know how to coax, I really don’t know how to do it!”

Nan Beiyue said more and more suffocated, “I’m afraid of the opposite sex—”

Zhou Yi couldn’t stand it anymore, and put aside the thought of “making a date” and said, “I’m also a woman.”

Beinan paused for two seconds, and said with an “oh”, “Your characteristics are not obvious, I forgot to count you in.”

Zhou Yi, “…”

“Where is he?” Zhou Yi asked.

Beinan immediately returned to normal, “I’ll take you there.”

Zhou Yi followed the north and the south.

As soon as she stepped out, she suddenly turned back to pick up the mobile phone in the trash can, took a photo with her face and sent it to Mu Qinglin, the only woman in the store, and asked her: [Are my femininity very good?] obvious? 】

Mu Qinglin was drinking water, and choked up when she saw this message, and when she clicked on the photo, she was so frightened by Zhou Yi’s big face in the camera that she forgot to cough.

“What’s wrong?” Tang Yuanzhou asked Mu Qinglin who had a weird expression.

Mu Qinglin minimized the photo and said, “It’s okay, it’s still a bit scary to watch horror movies in broad daylight.”

Mu Qinglin: [Aren’t you sober? 】

Zhou Yi: 【Wake up enough to know that there are ten fingers on each hand! 】

“…” Then why would you ask such a weird question?

Mu Qinglin thought for a second, and suggested to her: 【Go to the hospital. 】

Zhou Yi read it twice, but didn’t understand.

Let her go to the hospital for a cold?

But what does a cold have to do with femininity?

Zhou Yi asked Nan Bei in confusion, “What does this mean?”

Nanbei didn’t even think about it, “She said you were sick.”

Zhou Yi raised his hand and threw the phone into the fish tank.

Bei Nan was stunned, “It’s a new model! Tens of thousands! If you have money, you don’t need to bury it like this!”

With his hands in his pockets, Zhou Yi calmly said, “Waterproof…”

North and South, “…”

When Zhou Yi and Nan Bei passed by, the girl was still crying.

Sitting on the stairs, the people above can’t get off, and the people below can’t go up. It’s really difficult.

“Xiao Jiu, I left it to you. When it’s done, I’ll treat you to a month of braised short ribs.” Nanbei said secretly.

Zhou Yi gestured “OK” to him and said, “One year…”

Nan Bei smiled, “Or I’d better die.”

—

Mu Qinglin couldn’t handle the photo matter on the spot, and promised Tang Yuanzhou to show it to colleagues in the technology center.

Tang Yuanzhou was very grateful, and wanted to stay with Mu Qinglin for lunch, but she declined, “I have something to do temporarily, let’s go to Taiwan, another day.”

Tang Yuanzhou, “Okay, come over anytime it’s convenient for you, anyway, it’s only a few steps away.”

“By the way, do me another favor.” Tang Yuanzhou said.

Mu Qinglin, “What’s the matter?”

Tang Yuanzhou took a small box of prepackaged cold medicine and put it in front of Mu Qinglin, and complimented: “You are efficient.”

That’s for a drunk, it’s not normal to be sober…

“You may not have seen it, Zhou Yi just saw me running faster than a ghost.” Mu Qinglin said.

Tang Yuanzhou, “She wants face. This just shows that you two are close. If it’s really an outsider who can’t fight with each other, her face will be a few centimeters thicker than the corner of the city wall.”

…

Don’t be so hurt.

Mu Qinglin felt sorry for Zhou Yi’s living conditions for a second.

But are they close?

Probably…

At least she should be one of the few people who has seen Zhou Yi’s other side.

Mu Qinglin picked up the medicine box and said conservatively: “I will try my best…”

“It’s definitely fine for you to go.” Tang Yuanzhou was blind and firm.

Mu Qinglin only felt that the responsibility was heavy.

“Wait a minute…” Mu Qinglin stopped to see that the time was about the same. Tang Yuanzhou, who was about to go to the kitchen to prepare lunch, handed him the card he picked up on the ground last night and said, “This is from Lu Chang to Zhou Yi. I gave it to Zhou Yi yesterday. Seeing it, I think something will happen to her directly.”

“Are you still afraid of her?” Tang Yuanzhou teased, “I’ll keep the things first, and give them to her at a wrong time later.”

Mu Qinglin, “Hmm…”

Mu Qinglin poured a glass of water and went to the store to find Zhou Yi.

Xiao Hei told her, “Xiao Jiu, you can see it if you walk about ten meters along here.”

Mu Qinglin, “Thank you…”

Mu Qinglin hadn’t figured out what to say to Zhou Yi later, and took very heavy steps.

If good words of persuasion were useful, Tang Yuanzhou would not throw this hot potato to her.

But if it was the same as last night, Zhou Yi probably could break her knee by lifting her foot.

…

When Mu Qinglin was hesitating, he saw Zhou Yi sitting on the steps.

There was a test paper on her lap, and she was scribbling on it with her shoulders bent.
