Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

"Bernice, didn't you ask me to come and see 'a rare gentle handsome guy in the Outer Ring'?

How come the real person is completely different from what you described!" The girl with short light green hair and black pointed metal accessories on her head glanced at the man sitting not far away who was talking to their housekeeper Lucy, and whispered to Bernice at the bar. "He is handsome, but he looks cold and dangerous.

When he first looked over at me, my hair stood on end. I thought he was here to cause trouble, and I almost wanted to draw my weapon.

"I don't know either." Bernice leaned on her folded arms, her upper body pressed against the bar, and said innocently, "If that customer was like this last night, how could anyone dare to ask him out for a drink?

When I treated him to a special cocktail yesterday, he seemed quiet but had a very gentle demeanor. He looked like a shy city student.

After that, he drank very generously, accepting all those who asked him to drink and getting them drunk.

Drunk people behave well. If someone splashes wine on them, they won't get angry. Instead, they will worry about whether the drunkard has been burned by the flames of the gasoline barrel.

If I hadn't seen that guest's temperament and personality were gentle and simple, I would have stopped the girls who were about to make a move and let Wright take the person away.

This morning, no one knows which girl or girls' bed this handsome guy will climb out of.

Who would have thought that he would wake up and become an iceberg handsome guy who is even cooler than Wright?

Could it be that I drank too much and have a headache? Is that why I'm grumpy when I wake up?

"Wright, what's going on with this guy?" The girl with short green hair stretched out her hand and hooked Wright's neck, who was playing with his mobile phone boredly, and forcibly pulled him into the girls' gossip chat.

"Caesar, you're asking the wrong person.

Bernice forced the person on me. I didn't even know him, and I didn't say a word to him. "Wright jerked his body sideways unexpectedly, helplessly adjusting his sunglasses that had slipped off his nose, and said, "From last night until now, we haven't spoken more than ten sentences in total.

You might as well ask Paipai, she brought the person back from the city."

"Ahaha..." The blonde loli whose name was mentioned yawned loudly while lying on the sofa beside her.

Wearing a short black tank top, she scratched her exposed, slightly itchy belly and replied lazily in a weak voice, "I don't know. Someone wanted to take a ride to the Outer Ring Road, so I gave them a ride along the way."

I asked him a few questions on the way, and he said he was looking to buy a piece of land in the outer ring road, so he came to take a look. He then asked if I knew anyone who was well-informed and could introduce him to someone.

When I heard this, I brought someone here to Bernice."

"Buying land in the Outer Ring?" The girl called Caesar let go of Wright, who was patting her mechanical arm in protest. "Could it be another young master who was deceived by the developer's false propaganda?"

It doesn’t look like it! ?

Developers are tired of fooling people like this.”

"Maybe he's a gang member who wants to acquire a piece of land, set up a temporary base, or even a warehouse to store illegal supplies." Wright thought of the knife wound on Bai Zhi's body and made a reasonable inference: "This kind of thing is also common in the Outer Ring.

Many abandoned factories were originally built by these gangs to cover up their tracks.

In the end, it just became a moss on the ground, a ruin with no one to take it over.”

"I still think that he is not as fierce as he looks..." Bernice held up her chin and looked at Bai Zhi, then an inspiration flashed and she suggested cheerfully: "Why don't I treat him to another special drink!

"I drank some wine yesterday and I felt cheerful. It's so cold today, maybe it's because I'm short of wine... Oh no!"

“You guys…” Lucy kept throwing things and roared in a gloomy tone, “Stop it!

Speak so loudly, I can hear it over here!

Can you please give the Son of Calydon some respect? ! It's not right to gossip about someone in front of guests.

"Hey~Lucy, don't be so fierce." Bernice put down the red-skinned piglet Xiren Amu in her hand and said to the angry Lucy with a smile.

"Yeah, Lucy. Don't be so angry, you will get wrinkles. And we didn't say anything?!" Now that he was exposed, Caesar simply took the wine that Bernice poured out skillfully and walked directly towards Bai Zhi. He showed his white teeth generously and cheerfully, and greeted Bai Zhi with a smile.

“Hello, I am Caesar, the current leader of the Sons of Calydon. It’s a pleasure to meet you.

How does that saying go? Oh! Meeting is fate. Come, I'll buy you a drink.

"...Thank you, but because of what happened last night, I decided to quit drinking when I woke up this morning." Bai Zhi said to the heroic-looking girl in a black and gray leather modified motorcycle suit in a cold voice with some helplessness.

This location was really not far from the bar, so he really heard all the gossip clearly.

Looking at the leader of the [Son of Calydon] who was very interested in him, in order to avoid any more interactions, Bai Zhi stood up with his knife on his back and prepared to say goodbye.

"Thank you very much, Miss Bernice and Mr. Wright, for taking care of me last night. Thank you, Miss Lucy, for sharing so much information with me today." Bai Zhi bowed earnestly to thank them, while keeping a distance from them in a serious manner. "A simple reward is not enough to fully express my gratitude.

I will remember your help. So goodbye, see you later."

Bai Zhi finished speaking, looking at Caesar, who seemed to be about to say something. He picked up the wine glass she had brought and toasted her. "I'm honored to meet you, too, Miss Caesar."

Bai Zhi raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.

"Hey, wake up. Everyone's gone.

No way, Caesar. Normally, I never saw you as a flower-crazy person, did you?

"What's going on? Are the iceberg-style male protagonists in romance comics trending again?" Lucy closed her eyes and kicked Caesar's boots, bringing Caesar back to his senses from his fascination with Bai Zhi's fleeting smile, like morning dew.

"How did you know? You weren't peeking at my comic book, were you?!" Caesar's face flushed slightly. He couldn't tell if it was because he was shy about the handsome guy's smile just now, or because he was more angry about being caught reading a romance comic by his companions.

"Who cares!? I wouldn't do something as unseemly as peeking.

Besides, this completely fictional, illogical, and nerve-wracking romance manga is something only someone with a simpler brain than a salad could enjoy. "Lucy crossed her arms and glared at Caesar, displeased with his defamation of her taste.

"Don't talk nonsense! I, I'm just curious..." Caesar's face turned completely red. The girl who originally looked generous and open-minded now revealed some girlish shyness.

The others ignored the argument between Caesar and Lucy as if it were normal and continued with their own arrangements.

Bai Zhi, who suddenly appeared in their lives, was just an interesting passerby. Although he was curious about people, it was just a small episode in their daily life.

If they didn't meet again, Bai Zhi's figure would naturally disappear from their memories like dust.

Small Theater

Lucy and Bai Zhi looked at each other in bewilderment as the gossip behind them grew louder and louder.

Bai Zhi: Ahem, the wind is so strong... (pretending to be calm)

Lucy: Haha, yeah. Wait a moment, I'll go mute the wind... (Her face flushes with anger.)
