I am an honest female beta living in the slums, riding a rickety old bicycle through wooden shacks to deliver goods.
I respect the elderly, care for the young, and even pay 40% of my salary i...
Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Yes, yes, you are very good
"What do you think I'm looking at?" I asked him.
The alpha male had a humiliated expression on his face again, and the undulating chocolate milk squeezed against each other, almost squeezing out the bandage.
How embarrassing! How can I, an honest and upright man, just do nothing about it?
So I walked over, squatted in front of him, and took the bandage from his hand.
"What do you want to do?" He shrank back with a look of vigilance on his face. "Don't think that just because you helped us deliver something once, you can..."
I deftly helped him put the bandage on and packaged the chocolate milk that was about to burst out.
"Why are you always prejudiced against me?" I asked him sincerely, "I thought we were friends."
"You're clearly someone who's dedicated to their ideals and goals, so why do you always pretend to be someone you don't want to be around?"
The alpha male was stunned by my question, and his beautiful amber eyes were full of surprise.
He probably couldn't understand why a lecher like me didn't take advantage of him.
Yes, I am lustful, but I have a principle when it comes to eating, and that is I never dine and dash.
I stood up and said in a low voice, "In your eyes, I am just a casual person, but you don't know how lucky it is for people like us from the lower class to find a partner who shares the same ideals and respects each other."
After saying that, I ignored him, put my hands behind my back, and walked into the operating room sighing.
Hey! Pearl, here I come!
"Why did it take so long?" Qi Yuan asked me while sitting on the operating table with his legs crossed.
"I talked to that alpha about something." I answered him.
"Did you have a conflict with him before?" he continued to ask.
Watching me take out the pearls one by one, he was so tired that he was out of breath, but he still found time to glare at me.
"I was also wondering who the friend who recommended him to come here was. I've never heard you mention him before."
Qi Yuan trembled all over and fell down. It took him a while to calm down and hear clearly what I asked.
I waited for a long time but he didn't answer me, so I patted his waist.
He then stood up and whispered a name in my ear.
When I heard this name, I felt numb all over.
"No, you're crazy! Are you just going to grab them all from the slums? I thought the church was the only place where I could find peace!"
"Tsk!" Qi Yuan rolled his eyes. "How can a place that charges you money be a good place?"
"You also take my money, you are not a good person either."
"Bai Wuyong, I'm your father. When did I ever take money from you?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he did, I remembered the grudge from five years ago. "You charged me five yuan and twenty cents! And you used low-quality gauze on me. I almost died from the sudden crack!"
Qi Yuan's eyes widened with rage, he kicked me away and started putting on his pants, "Five dollars and twenty cents, remember this for five years, Bai Wuyong, you'll be wasting your time! You can find other Omegas in the slums and sleep with them for more than that!"
I retorted confidently, "How can you be the same as them? They want to take five yuan and twenty cents from my pocket, but I haven't even gotten it yet!"
The beta male, who was originally furious, suddenly stopped putting on his pants. A few seconds later, his cheeks flushed and he turned to glare at me, "I'm so annoyed by you."
"Oh!" I started to put on my clothes with courage.
When I came out of the operating room, I found that the alpha man was still there.
When he noticed I came out, he subconsciously glanced at the alarm clock and said, "So soon?"
What do you mean? You look down on me, the guy who eats with me, don't you?
"Something urgent happened." I made up an excuse.
The alpha man's gaze drifted towards the operating room again, but when he didn't see Qi Yuan coming out, he turned his gaze back.
He asked me in a strange and awkward tone, "What did you mean?"
"What did you say?" I asked.
"Just..." He frowned and squeezed out the words through gritted teeth, "You said I... had ideals or something like that."
It suddenly dawned on me!
Do you alphas really love these things that much?
"That's what I meant." I showed him a little kindness.
While Qi Yuan was still here, I held out my hand to him and said, "It's getting late. Do you want me to take you away? The West District just experienced a riot today, and the police station will definitely intensify their search tonight."
"How do you know?"
I didn't answer directly. Instead, I looked at him with a complex and deep look, then smiled bitterly and said, "With my status, I always know something."
The alpha male's expression changed, and he had a complicated expression that seemed a little disgusted but he was trying hard to suppress it.
Hahaha, sometimes it’s quite funny to see you idiots’ expressions changing all the time.
I left a small note for Qi Yuan and helped the alpha man out of the black-hearted clinic.
"Can you find a safe place tonight?"
"Ge Xin." He gave me these two words for no apparent reason.
When I didn't respond, he explained awkwardly, "My name."
I immediately smiled in surprise, "Wow, you actually consider me a friend. I'm so happy."
The corners of Ge Xin's mouth lifted uncontrollably, but he forced it back down again. He quickly shifted his focus and answered the question he had just asked. "I'm planning to hide in the church for a night."
It’s a church again. It seems that the place where they usually receive information is the church.
Of course there are churches in the slums, and even a considerable number of believers.
While it might seem abstract that people in the slums, seemingly starving to death, still believe in God, it's actually quite normal. Prayer is free, one of the few things you can get for free, so it's normal for people to fantasize about it in their free time.
What if that wicked God really hears my prayers and makes me rich overnight?
Sometimes I would go to church and listen to the priests and nuns chattering away, and then get something to eat.
As the sky gradually darkened, I took Ge Xin to the church in the last bit of sunlight.
The church was built right in the middle of the slums, under the pretext of allowing everyone in the slum to enjoy God's gospel.
Their words were so mysterious at the time that, having just arrived in the slums and having read very few books, I didn't understand what they were trying to say. Now that I think about it, it was probably about asking everyone to hand over their wallets.
Hahaha, but they probably don't care about the money of the little cows and horses in the slums. The real big money is the officials above who launder money. The little cows and horses just need to contribute occasionally.
After entering the church, Ge Xin found a seat near the cross statue and sat down, and I sat next to him.
At this time, there was no one else in the church except the two of us. It was quiet and the lights were dim.
My mind was preoccupied with how the people in Ali's organization were passing information through the church, when it started, whether Angsa would be quiet for a few days, and how I would manage my time between the three of them.
"Cough cough!" Ge Xin suddenly coughed, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Does the wound hurt?" I asked him.
There's no point in feeling the pain, just bear with it.
"No, I'm not as useless as Beta." Ge Xin started by belittling Beta.
I'm speechless. Is this person completely sexist? Just because there aren't many betas in the no-man's land, that means they're discriminated against? You're going to get beaten if you keep this up! I'll find a chance to stab you!
He noticed my subtle expression and started to feel awkward again, then he awkwardly tried to make amends, "But some betas aren't like that. They're still somewhat useful."
It's really hard for you to say anything good about beta, so just shut up!
"Ge Xin, I know you didn't mean it," I said, pretending to be considerate. "To be honest, I'm glad you consider me a friend. After that incident, I realized how difficult the missions you organize are. I can't even imagine how you guys managed to accomplish even more difficult tasks."
Haha, I don’t care. If you hadn’t stabbed me in the back, I wouldn’t have bothered to care.
Ge Xin's eyes shrank for a moment, and some emotion seemed to flash in his eyes.
He turned his face to the other side, so that I could not see his expression, but his words, which were somewhat moving, came clearly into my ears.
"It's not... that difficult. Just be careful and pay attention."
"How could that be?" I began to wonder, my mind wandering as I instinctively responded with a perfunctory response. "You guys are just amazing! I went through so much trouble just to deliver a box to you, let alone you?"
"You were so badly injured when we first met, you almost died, right?"
"You're amazing, your organization is so lucky to have you."
Sweet words just come out of my mouth.
The inspirational stories in the library are not useless, so I won’t burn them for now.
Ge Xin suddenly turned around and faced me, his eyes shining brightly. "Do you really think so?"
I frowned, put my hands on his shoulders, looked him in the eyes seriously, and said word by word: "Yes! Ge Xin, you are amazing!"
Satisfied? You're so flattered by the emotional value you're getting from betas, you sexist alpha!
After getting my affirmation, Ge Xin seemed to have turned on some kind of switch. The arrogance unique to alpha disappeared, and he couldn't control his smile like a real idiot.
I think he was blushing, but because his skin was a little dark, his blush looked like someone had punched his cheek and it was all red.
"You should join us." Ge Xin said.
"This... is a bit difficult." I sighed in frustration.
"Why? Are you afraid of death?" Ge Xin frowned.
I gave him a bitter smile. "Have you forgotten my current identity? I am the inspector's lover, and I have a younger brother who goes to school in the Keya District. If I join the organization regardless of the danger, what will happen to my brother?"
"It doesn't matter to me whether I live or die, but I can't leave my brother alone."
"Then bring your brother in as well. Our organization will protect him." Ge Xin said as if it was a matter of course.
Damn it, didn’t you hear that I didn’t want to?
I don't want to join the organization! I don't want to take any risks! You damn rebel, believe it or not, I will report you!
"No, Ge Xin, my brother is completely unaware of this, and I don't want to put him in danger." I evaded the question for the second time. "Besides, he has good grades and will be able to find a good job after graduation. There's no need for him to take risks with me."
"The organization just needs such talents." Ge Xin seemed not to understand and kept on insisting.
I can’t stand it. This guy doesn’t understand what I’m saying. I’m going to punch him!
Just as I clenched my fists and prepared to hit someone, I heard a strange noise coming from outside the church.
I immediately stood up and ran to the door to open it, almost bumping into a familiar and fat man.
He rubbed his hands together, his fat features piled up together, and rubbed his hands together, saying with a smile: "Useless, what a coincidence, you are coming to church too?"
I looked down at him, but he wasn't looking at me. Instead, he was looking at Ge Xin who was sitting behind me under the cross statue.
After confirming it was an alpha male, his smile became even more lewd and greasy. He winked at me, made a "money" gesture, and said, "It's useless. I heard everything clearly. You're really amazing. The boss and the inspector are both on good terms with you."
"Oh, you're also close to that alpha? What if I were..."
He didn't say anything after that, but just moved his bloated hand in front of me, the hint was quite obvious.
I had a blank expression and said nothing.
But the idiot behind him was still confused, focusing on the mistake, "Bai Wuyong, besides the inspector, there's also your boss?"
I fuck your dad! Is that the point?
And why did this pig head appear in the church? Who asked this person to come here?
I've had enough! Life is getting so unbearable, isn't it? You might as well just die!
