Morning, 8 am.
Beijing. A taxi drove into the city.
Dong Xuebing and Zhong Lizhen alighted at a department store and went in to buy clothes. Dong Xuebing bought an inexpensive coat as he had stolen the suit from someone else. He is not used to it, and it is also dirty. But when Dong Xuebing saw Zhong Lizhen putting on the coat, he was speechless. It's a new white coat. Luckily, this department store is quite old. If not, no one will buy such a coat.
"Do you want this?"
"Yes. This is it."
"Huh? Isn't this too old-fashioned?"
"It's fine. I am used to it. Let's settle the bill."
Zhong Lizhen did not bring a single cent with her, and Dong Xuebing had to settle the bill. Dong Xuebing took out his wallet and counted the bill. It's quite expensive. 85 RMB.
When Dong Xuebing turned around, Zhong Lizhen had already put on the white coat. She does not look like a scientist and looks more like a doctor.
"Let's go." Dong Xuebing said.
Zhong Lizhen took out a notebook out of nowhere, nodded, and wrote a few words on it. "Jacket, 80 RMB. I'll pay you back later." She paused for a while and kept the receipt. She also asked Dong Xuebing for the receipt for his clothes. "Your jacket is 399 RMB. This is because I had thrown away your old clothes. So, it is also on me. The taxi fare is also on me. It's 156 RMB. The total is … …"
Dong Xuebing quickly said. "Ah … ah … you don't need to be so polite."
Zhong Lizhen did not listen to Dong Xuebing and continued to write it down. "That's a different matter. Although I can't pay you back, I will remember everything."
Dong Xuebing smiled. He is not used to calculating with others, but he can understand Professor Zhong's character. He works with data all year round, and he cannot afford to make any mistakes. If he made a wrong number, it will cause the experiment to fail. That's why he is like this. Dong Xuebing did not argue with Zhong Lizhen. Zhong Lizhen is a stubborn person, and it's useless to argue with her.
After a while, Zhong Lizhen finished writing everything down. "It's done."
"Shall we go to a spa?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Zhong Lizhen frowned. "I don't like that kind of place. Let's go to a hotel."
"That's fine. Anyway, it's just a shower. Let's find a random one nearby."
Both of them were covered in dust, and their hair was sticky. It was impossible for them not to take a shower.
…
At the entrance of an express hotel.
Dong Xuebing and Zhong Lizhen entered.
In front of the reception desk, the female staff wore a professional smile and asked, "May I ask if you are looking for accommodation?"
Dong Xuebing nodded and took out his wallet to swipe his credit card. But when he was fighting with someone, his credit card was broken. Dong Xuebing was stunned and looked at his wallet. He only has slightly more than 400 RMB left.
Dong Xuebing asked. "How much for a single room per day?"
The female staff smiled faintly and said, "It's 266."
It wasn't expensive since it was an express hotel, but cash …
Dong Xuebing looks at Zhong Lizhen helplessly. Zhong Lizhen also saw the broken bank card. She hesitated for a while and said to the front desk. "Give me a single room."
The female staff member looked at the two of them strangely.
Dong Xuebing was slightly embarrassed and passed his identification card to the staff member.
The staff member asked. "Both of you are staying together? We need both of our identification cards. If it's a single room for both of us … "
Zhong Lizhen does not have any identification cards and was taken away by the research center. Dong Xuebing immediately replied. "I am staying alone."
"Oh." The staff member immediately registered Dong Xuebing's name. But she still looks at them weirdly. One is in his forties, and the other is in her twenties.
Zhong Lizhen also felt uncomfortable and pretended to look to the side.
After the registration was done, the female staff passed the room card to Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing kept the card and was about to go upstairs with Zhong Lizhen. But the female staff member stopped them. She smiled. "You are staying in a single room. Both of you …"
Dong Xuebing was annoyed. "What's wrong with both of us?"
The young girl replied. "Then this lady's identification card must also be …"
Dong Xuebing replied. "She is not staying in the room. Can't we go upstairs to have a chat? Why must we show you our identification cards? I am staying here, and I can't let my friends in? "
The female staff member kept quiet.
Zhong Lizhen pulled Dong Xuebing. "Let's go."
Dong Xuebing noticed many people in the lobby were looking at them. Dong Xuebing wiped his sweat and quickly boarded the elevator with Zhong Lizhen.
Sigh … It's embarrassing.
I can't even afford two single rooms. I need to get a new bank card.
… …
Single room.
There is a bed, a bathroom, and nothing else.
When Dong Xuebing entered the room and saw the bed, he felt awkward as the atmosphere was too awkward.
"You can shower first." Dong Xuebing said.
Zhong Lizhen nodded and entered the bathroom.
Dong Xuebing waited outside, smoking. He could hear the sound of the engine and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Half an hour later.
Zhong Lizhen came out. She was still wearing the same white coat, and her hair was still wet. Her skin was smooth and clean. She did not put on her white coat, and she did not wear the suit that Dong Xuebing had stolen for her. She was only wearing her white blouse. But Dong Xuebing could see two red spots on her chest. Zhong Lizhen's bra was damaged after all.
Vacuum!
Dong Xuebing's imagination ran wild!
He didn't know if Zhong Lizhen noticed it or something, but she stretched out her hand and put on the white coat.
"Go ahead."
"Ok."
Dong Xuebing also entered the bathroom to take a shower.
He washed very quickly and came out in about ten minutes. When he came out, he saw Zhong Lizhen leaning against the window in a daze. There was a notebook and a pen on the bed. He glanced at it and seemed to see that there was an extra line of words at the bottom. It seemed to say something like 266 yuan for accommodation.
Sigh … She is so calculative.
Dong Xuebing replied. "I'm done."
"Ok."
"What are you thinking about?"
Zhong Lizhen looked at the scenery downstairs. "It's been a while since I came back. I realized this is my home, and it feels good."
"Welcome back, Professor Zhong."
"Ok." Zhong Lizhen turned to Dong Xuebing. "You still have more than 100 RMB in your wallet. It should be enough to take a taxi. Let's go. I will bring you to meet Sister Han and return the money to you. I will also thank you for saving me."
"Sister Han?"
"Yes. Didn't you mention Xie Huilan the last time? Did you find out about me and my relationships here from other people or information? Are you using it to confirm if I am Zhong Lizhen? You should have heard of Sister Han. She is her mother. "
