Chapter 398 Apprenticeship with Pluto (77)
Throughout the New Year, the world has a holiday, but the underworld does not have a holiday.
As long as someone dies, Zhou Ye has to work.
The cold winter is the best time for business in Hades, because there are too many people who cannot survive the cold, especially the elderly and sick. Without warmth and care, they will easily leave.
During the day, Zhou Ye slept and ate in Hades, and at night he walked around the city with his dog.
Most of the work was done by Niu Tou MaMian. Zhou Ye only had to go to some remote places to guide those lost souls.
When daybreak was about to break, Zhou Ye stuffed the last living soul into his pocket, then let go of the dog leash and let the hellhound go out for a walk. After dawn, it would return to the underworld on its own.
At this time, Zhou Ye will float to Zhu Zhijun's home.
Every time I come, the man is watching TV.
This time was no exception. As soon as Zhou Ye appeared, Zhu Zhijun saw her.
"You're here."
The man waved to her, Zhou Ye stepped forward and let the man take her whole body into his arms.
"Why don't you sleep?"
Zhou Ye is not a human being. He lies in bed during the day and comes out at night.
But Zhu Zhijun is a perfectly normal person. He works shifts during the day and rests at night. Sometimes he has to be on duty at night, even during the Chinese New Year.
But every time she comes, Zhu Zhijun will be waiting for him here.
He was sitting in the middle of the screen playing the movie and the large sofa, waiting for her.
Listening to Zhou Ye's question, Zhu Zhijun was not in a hurry to answer her, but silently rested his chin on her shoulder, his soft short hair caressing Zhou Ye's neck, and breathed softly.
Where Zhou Ye couldn't see him, Zhu Zhijun closed his eyes tiredly, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and his voice was extremely soft.
"Sleep." "Then why aren't you sleeping now?"
"Waiting for you, want to meet you."
With that said, Zhu Zhijun stretched out his hand, directly hugged Zhou Ye's waist, pulled her to lie on the sofa together, put his long legs on her legs casually, and murmured lazily.
"You watch TV, I'll sleep for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if he was waiting for this moment, Zhou Ye lay quietly, and Zhu Zhijun fell asleep, breathing shallowly, lingering on the back of his neck.
Holding the beads, Zhou Ye said nothing and watched the movie motionless until dawn.
The New Year has passed and the hospital is back to normal work.
Zhu Zhijun didn't have much time to stay at home, so Zhou Ye went to his duty room when he was on duty at night.
The two maintained a silent understanding.
During the day, they only stayed together during the period when day and night alternated. During this period, Zhu Zhijun either hugged her for a while, or accompanied her to collect living souls. When daybreak, Zhou Ye would stay a little longer, waiting. It was almost time and she was leaving.
Every day.
One day in summer, Zhou Ye followed his usual practice and came to Zhu Zhijun's home after collecting living souls.
At around four o'clock in the morning, the man did not stay on the sofa and watch TV. Instead, he sat in the bedroom, wearing a neat black suit with a small white flower pinned to the breast pocket.
There was silence in the room.
When Zhou Ye arrived, Zhu Zhijun, who had been silent all the time, slowly raised his head and looked at the figure standing at the door.
In the dark night, Zhou Ye saw that the man's face was pale, but he still smiled tiredly, and there was a slight redness in his light eyes.
After the silence, he opened his hand and pointed at Zhou Ye. His voice was soft and soft, mixed with indescribable sadness.
