She was indeed taking advantage of the situation to satisfy her morbid desire for revenge. She had been working as a dishwasher for 80 yuan a day for who knows how many years. Most of the time she could only eat leftover food from the bar to save money. Did she not want to do anything else? There was never a choice.
Citizens work together to exploit them. If women without citizen status do not sell their bodies, they can only be squeezed out of their last energy by the superiors.
Many of them have worked hard all their lives and are reluctant to buy expensive fruits. They have never even tasted the taste of strawberry ice cream in the mall.
Gender discrimination stifles their clever minds and extraordinary abilities. How unfair.
So Lin Qiao thought that just letting them fetch water for a few more months would be nothing as revenge.
Not long after the Kolding Water Plant incident ended, Christmas came.
Early that morning, Chu Ji slipped out of the window while Lin Qiao was still sleeping in.
He came to a pet store in a shopping mall. It was only 8 o'clock at this time. The store clerk had just opened the door and let out all the pet dogs that had been locked in cages all night for some exercise.
As soon as Chu Ji walked to the door of the store and stopped, all the pets who were playing crowded into the corner of the house as if they were facing an enemy. They all bared their teeth at him and made dangerous purring sounds.
"Weird, what's wrong, what are you doing here today?" Xia Yan heard the noise, walked over and saw this scene and was confused for a moment.
"Hello." A deep bass voice came from the door.
Xia Yan turned her head when she heard the sound and saw the man stepping in from the morning light. His angular face, gentle eyebrows, and fresh and clean clothes instantly captivated her eyes.
In this age where everyone has tattoos and flashy eye and hair colors, fair skin and a modest and noble manner are like lotuses blooming in the mud, spotless.
Xia Yan subconsciously stood up straight and put on a soft smile, "Hello, what do you need to buy? A pet dog or..."
"Collar." Chu Ji pointed to his neck, smiled and said, "I need a dog collar."
Xia Yan was stunned and her heart was moved by this beautiful smile. She immediately led him to a wall and introduced enthusiastically: "What is your pet? A large dog or a small dog? Boys and girls, now in the store The most popular one here is the bow knitted style.”
Chu Ji raised his head and looked at the necklaces all over the wall. There were many styles, but he didn't like the one with the pink bow tie. After all, he wore it for himself to please Lin Qiao. Her aesthetics probably wouldn't like anything too pink and tender. .
Her character is like a thorn, a thorn with a thorn.
A rivet collar came into view, and he raised his hand to take it off.
Xia Yan's eyes followed his fair and slender fingers, with protruding blue blood vessels, which looked particularly clean and beautiful.
She raised the corners of her lips and her eyes sparkled, "Do you raise large dogs at home? This is a popular model in our family. Many big dogs are wearing it, but the chain is not elastic. It is best to have a neck circumference. See if you can buckle it, it won’t work if it’s too strong.”
Chu Ji liked this collar very much, so he touched his neck, and then opened the leather buckle of the collar and tried it on under the other person's gaze. Xia Yan was stunned when she saw his movements, and soon she realized what she was doing. His behavior made up for it, "Ah, it turns out that the dog's neck circumference is about the same as yours."
"Yes." Chu Ji tried it just right, then took it off and looked up, and finally handed the collar in his hand to Xia Yan, "That's it, wrap it up in a gift box for me."
Xia Yan touched his hand when she was taking the collar, and the cool touch made her feel excited. She walked behind the cashier and blushed slightly, "Well, this chain is 200 yuan, and the gift box requires an additional 30 yuan charge. "
Chu Ji frowned slightly and took out only one hundred yuan from his pocket.
He forgot to know the prices of pet supplies in Wandering City. He only knew that Lin Qiao used to work from dawn to dusk and earn less than 100 yuan a day. Did a pet collar cost her nearly three days' salary?
Xia Yan looked at the only red banknote in his hand, and then at his slightly tangled frown. She naturally thought that the beautiful man was in embarrassment. His family situation may not be very good, so he wanted to buy a better one for Christmas. collar for your dog.
She once again imagined the single life of one person and one dog for Chu Ji, and with a move in her heart, she said, "I can help you avoid paying the bills with the remaining money. How about you leave me your contact information?"
Chu Ji raised his eyes, not expecting such a good thing to happen, and nodded slightly, "Okay."
He remembered Lin Qiao's mobile phone number, so he waved his hand and wrote a series of numbers on the piece of paper handed over.
Xia Yan, who asked for the contact information, carefully wrapped the collar for him and tied a beautiful bow with a ribbon on it. She handed it to him with a smile, "It's Christmas today. If it's convenient for you, you can take your dog to Central Park at night. There is a food festival there tonight and there will be fireworks.”
Chu Ji nodded, "Thank you."
Xia Yan saw him out and added shyly, "I'll go too."
He glanced at her, not knowing why, but nodded out of politeness, turned and left.
City surveillance still captures his movements 24 hours a day and transmits them back to the administration in real time.
Chu Ji arrived home around 9 o'clock, and Lin Qiao was still sleeping.
He placed the gift on the coffee table in the living room and walked into the bedroom. The woman on the bed was sleeping quietly, lying on her side in a defenseless position.
Chu Ji knelt beside the bed and slowly approached, his warm breath falling on her face. The tentacles on his body came out and scrambled to climb up the bed and rub against her exposed legs.
Lin Qiao was a light sleeper. He touched her slightly and she woke up.
It was a rare night of dreamless sleep. She rubbed her pillow and raised her neck to stretch. When she opened her eyes, she saw Chu Ji's delicate eyebrows exposed in the sunlight outside the window, and her drooping eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her eyelids. , the eyes with colored lenses are as translucent as glass balls.
"Um?"
She raised her hand and took out a soft tentacle from the quilt, her voice was slightly hoarse, "What are you doing? Isn't today the weekend?"
He lowered his head, and the hot breath fell on her lips, with a touch of tenderness, "I went out for a trip, and someone told me that today is Christmas. There is a food court in Central Park and fireworks will be set off. You can bring it with you." Dog goes.”
Lin Qiao understood the first part of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence successfully made her brain freeze.
"Well" she licked her dry lips and pinched His beautiful face, "We don't have a dog at home, so what did you do outside?"
"I bought you a gift." Chu Ji curled his lips and put his face close to her palm, his pure black eyes reflected her sleepy look, "Do you want to see it?"
"Because it's Christmas today, you bought me a gift?" Lin Qiao's eyes trembled, and she completely woke up.
