Chapter 152 Luo Xinxin: You don’t have kidney deficiency, do you?
Luo Xinxin snorted softly, withdrew her hand, lowered her sleeves, leaned against the cabin, closed her eyes and rested, and before she knew it, she fell asleep.
“Almost there!”
The captain called out softly. It was still dark, with only the stars in the sky and the neon lights in the distance flashing.
Luo Xinxin was shaken awake and smelled the fresh scent of cedar, which came from the clothes covering her. No wonder she felt warmer and deeper in sleep.
"Thank you."
She handed over the coat, feeling a little guilty because the injection was indeed a bit too harsh.
"And a handkerchief."
Li Rong took the coat.
Luo Xinxin was a little confused. What handkerchief?
"Your neck."
She reached out and pulled, and sure enough, she pulled a handkerchief off her neck and used it as a cushion for a baby's chin.
Luo Xinxin returned the handkerchief, but saw Li Rong gently lift the corner of the handkerchief with two fingers and then fold it in half. He had a look of disgust on his face from beginning to end. She got angry as she watched, and asked through gritted teeth, "What do you mean?"
Is she some dirty person?
"You drool while sleeping. If I hadn't put a handkerchief under you, it would have drooled on my clothes." Li Rong explained.
"You're talking nonsense. I never drool when I sleep."
Luo Xinxin firmly refused to admit it. How could such a beautiful woman like her drool? This bastard was talking nonsense!
"Not only do you drool, you snore too."
Li Rong took out a handkerchief from his pocket, held one corner and shook it a few times, then placed it in front of her, letting her see the saliva marks on the handkerchief.
Sure enough, there was a watermark on the handkerchief, which was particularly obvious under the oil lamp.
"It's better to drool than to wet your bed!"
Luo Xinxin retorted, thinking to herself, I should have stabbed harder before, why didn't I kill this bastard!
"Nonsense, I never wet the bed, not even as a baby!"
Li Rong was very confident. Although he was a premature baby, with the careful care of his grandmother, he rarely got sick and no longer wet the bed after he was two years old. His grandmother said that he was the easiest child to take care of in the world.
Luo Xinxin sneered, stood up and approached him, and asked in a low voice: "You haven't wet the bed since you were sixteen? Or maybe fifteen, think about it!"
"Absolutely not..."
As soon as Li Rong finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent. His handsome face flushed red. He gritted his teeth and argued, "That's not bed-wetting. You know shit!"
"Have you washed your bedsheets and pants? If you did, you must have wet the bed!"
Luo Xinxin was particularly confident. She didn't care whether it was urine or protein. In her opinion, it was all called bedwetting.
Seeing Li Rong's embarrassed look, she was very proud. You little brat, she is an old senior who has lived for sixty years longer than her. You will definitely lose if you fight with her!
Li Rong was speechless after being confronted, and he only regretted in his heart why he didn't strangle the woman to death just now!
"arrive!"
The captain's voice came from outside, and the boat bumped into the shore.
Luo Xinxin got out of the cabin first, but she didn't stand firmly and swayed a bit. Li Rong supported her from behind.
"I'm sending you here. I wish you all the best in the future and may you have a baby soon."
The captain gave his blessing with a smile.
"Thank you, uncle. I wish you peace and success!"
Luo Xinxin gave the remaining money, a total of 1,200 yuan for the two of them. Although the charge was a bit expensive, the quality was guaranteed, and the captain of the boat had a good conscience and would not do anything shady.
"Thank you, I'm going back now!"
The captain wiped the sweat from his face and prepared to return. It was almost dawn, and if he didn't go back, he would be caught by the water police.
Soon, the boat slowly moved away, turned into a small black dot, and then disappeared.
The sound of waves hitting the beach brought waves of salty moisture. The wind was very strong at the beach in the early morning, and it felt quite cold on the body. Luo Xinxin wrapped her clothes tightly and looked around for the environment.
It looks like a fishing village, a bit shabby, and no different from the inland fishing villages.
"Let's rent a house first. How much money do you have?"
Luo Xinxin sniffed. It was too cold on the beach, so she had to find a place to stay.
“It’s all here.”
Li Rong took out a handful of Hong Kong dollars from his pocket, about five hundred dollars, which was the activity funds given by the organization before he came.
The organization originally wanted to give more, but Luo Xinxin and Li Rong both refused.
"We can earn money with our own hands when we get there, so we don't have to use the country's foreign exchange. Any savings are better."
Luo Xinxin spoke sincerely.
"If we earn more, we can bring back some Hong Kong dollars. No matter how much, it can generate income for the country."
Li Rong spoke very sincerely.
I don’t know whether the filial piety of the two is moving, but it has definitely moved the organization. Now in the eyes of the organization, they are both sincerely filial children. Regardless of how well they complete the mission, the children’s filial piety is absolutely genuine.
So, the two filial children traveled light, with a total of only HK$500 for the two of them.
"Let's go eat first, then rent a house, then look for a job, and visit Mike by the way. We'll go back in a month or two."
Luo Xinxin sneezed. She urgently needed a bowl of hot salty soy milk and a basket of dumplings. She didn't know if there was any salty soy milk in Hong Kong Island.
In her previous life, when she was in her hometown, she only ate sweet soy milk. After she came to Shanghai, she tasted salty soy milk for the first time and was amazed by it, especially the salty soy milk with xiaolongbao, which was simply a match made in heaven. She would never get tired of eating it every day.
"OK!"
Li Rong had no objection. This time he came to Hong Kong Island mainly for fun, and it was the easiest mission he had ever performed.
"A-choo...Give me your clothes!"
Luo Xinxin sneezed again and asked for clothes with confidence.
"Why?"
Li Rong was a little reluctant, and he was also cold.
"Because I'm your partner, hurry up!"
Luo Xinxin pulled his clothes without any hesitation, saying that as a grown man, it was no big deal if he was blown by a little wind.
Li Rong took off his clothes reluctantly. A gust of wind blew over and he couldn't help but shiver. He looked at the coat on Luo Xinxin. It was his.
"You don't have kidney deficiency, do you?"
Luo Xinxin looked at him suspiciously. He couldn't stand the slightest breeze, which clearly showed that he had kidney deficiency.
"You are the one with Yin deficiency!"
Li Rong immediately straightened his back, unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, and opened a large area of his neck to show that he was not cold at all. His grandfather once said that kidneys are the face of a man, and even eunuchs would not admit that they have kidney deficiency.
Luo Xinxin rolled her eyes and walked in front wearing a warm coat. Behind her was Li Rong, who was only wearing a shirt and his nose was almost running.
The temperature in Guangzhou was high, and the thick clothes they brought from the northwest were completely unwearable, so they left them at the military region and would wear them when they returned.
The two of them didn't bring any luggage, just a coat and two shirts to change into, planning to buy them after arriving in Hong Kong Island. Unexpectedly, they were frozen to the bone by the early morning seaside.
At daybreak, they found a noodle shop and ate a bowl of hot noodles, feeling much better. Luo Xinxin asked the boss and found out that they could rent a house of seven or eight square meters in the city for three hundred yuan, which was better than the pigeon cage the captain had mentioned.
They took a taxi to the city. Because they had identification from Nanyang, renting a house went smoothly. After Luo Xinxin's bargaining, she only paid half a month's rent.
The house is in an old building and has a private bathroom, which is much better than those pigeon cages that squeeze into public toilets.
"When we make enough money, we'll move to Mid-Levels and be neighbors with the Governor."
Luo Xinxin set the flag with great ambition.
"The Governor lives in Mid-Levels?"
This was Li Rong’s first time in Hong Kong Island and he didn’t know much about the place.
"Most of the dignitaries here live in Mid-Levels. This place is pretty good. It's close to Victoria Peak and you can take the Star Ferry to Victoria Harbour."
Luo Xinxin opened the window and saw tall buildings outside. Hong Kong Island was already very prosperous in the 1960s. There were many young men and women in fashionable clothes on the streets, as well as many blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners.
In the distance is the green Victoria Peak. The mountain is not high, but it is said to be a Feng Shui treasure land of Hong Kong Island. Many wealthy people and high-ranking officials live on the mountain.
She asked the landlord and found out that the Star Ferry terminal was not far away. The first-class fare was 2.5 cents and the economy class fare was 1 cent. The landlord said that the first-class fare used to be only 2 cents, but the price was raised in April. Many people took to the streets to protest, and some people even died, but nothing could be done to change the situation.
Luo Xinxin knew about this, and she also knew that there would be even more brutal protests next year, with even greater casualties. During this period, Hong Kong Island was still a colony of the British Empire, and discrimination against Chinese people was prevalent in all industries. Rather than protesting over ticket prices, it was more of a confrontation between the lower-class Chinese and the British rulers for dignity.
One cent is equivalent to one dime, and one cent is one cent.
