The two continued downstairs. Rong Yu didn't speak along the way, but Shi Jing could clearly sense that the other person wasn't in a good mood.
Shi Jing recalled what the provocative person had said and had a rough idea of what was going on. Rong Yu's family and past were truly full of flaws.
It seems that having parents is worse than not having them at all. And his bloodsucking agency still holds a seven-year management contract with Rong Yu, which means that Rong Yu can't do anything other than the work assigned by the company.
If Yong-woo wants to continue as an entertainer, that path is basically over.
If his regular jobs are ruined by his agent every time, like last time, how will he live in the years to come?
Thinking about the hotpot meal they had just had, Shi Jing felt a little embarrassed. For her, it was just a normal expense, but for Rong Yu, it didn't seem to be the case.
Shi Jing rarely faced such an awkward situation, and she felt unusually guilty.
"that......"
"I'm sorry." Before Shi Jing could finish speaking, Rong Yu had already apologized.
"Huh?" Shi Jing was taken aback, not understanding why the other party suddenly apologized.
"That person was a colleague of mine. We have some past conflicts, and he said some unpleasant things, which may have spoiled your mood."
Shi Jing quickly shook his head: "No, that's not true. I wouldn't even bother with someone like that."
"On the contrary, are you... alright?"
Rong Yu shook her head: "I'm fine."
Shi Jing thought to himself, "You don't seem like it at all, judging from your expression."
But thinking about it, it makes sense. His parents were willing to spend money on training classes for their younger son, yet they seemed indifferent to their older son being exploited. If it were just ordinary love for the youngest child, Shi Jing wouldn't think much of it, but judging from what that person said earlier—that Rong Yu lived in a garage and did odd jobs—it made her somewhat unhappy.
Put yourself in her shoes. If Shi Hai's unborn child were born, and Shi Hai were to suck her blood to feed the child, ha, you're kidding, dreaming!
Thinking of this, Shi Jing pulled her scattered thoughts back; such a thing could never happen to her.
"Let's go buy a cup of milk tea." Shi Jing had heard that drinking something sweet can make you feel better when you're in a bad mood, so she decided to give it a try.
Before Rong Yu could agree, she grabbed him and ran towards the milk tea shop.
The milk tea shop wasn't crowded, so she lined up to order: "Hello, I'd like two red bean milk teas, medium size, no ice, and regular sugar."
"Hello, that's twenty-four yuan in total."
Shi Jing scanned the QR code to pay.
Since transmigrating, Shi Jing has rarely had the opportunity to drink milk tea. However, she had drunk it quite a few times in her previous life, but at that time she basically only drank it with less sugar or no sugar. This is the first time she has drunk it with normal sugar content.
The milk tea was ready quickly, and Shi Jing handed a cup to Rong Yu: "Hey, I heard that drinking sweet things can make you feel better, give it a try."
She also put in her drink and took a sip.
Ugh, so sweet. Shi Jing's features immediately scrunched up; she had never tasted such sweet milk tea before. The already sweet red beans paired with the saccharine milk tea were definitely not something she could handle. She didn't usually have a sweet tooth, and this was too much for her.
She managed to take two sips, and thankfully the milk tea was cool enough that it wasn't too hard to swallow.
Looking at Rong Yu beside her, the other seemed to be accepting it well. Although the milk tea was very sweet, she didn't appear to have any problem with it. After taking a sip of the milk tea, her expression even relaxed slightly, so it seemed to have worked.
Noticing Shi Jing's gaze, Rong Yu smiled slightly: "It's delicious, thank you."
"Don't mention it. I'll buy it for you next time if you like it." Shi Jing blurted out, but Rong Yu smiled and didn't take it seriously.
"Let's go back, it's getting late."
It was almost 8:30. Shi Jing rarely stayed out this late, after all, she was still a minor.
"good."
It was getting late, so the two decided not to linger any longer.
The buses here don't stop running until around 10 PM, and the two were lucky; their bus was still running. They waited at the station for about ten minutes before the bus arrived. By the time the bus stopped at the platform outside the residential area, it was almost 9 PM.
Rong Yu escorted the person all the way to the entrance of Yuanrong Residential Complex, promising to deliver the notes the next day. Only after watching the person enter the complex and disappearing from sight did Rong Yu turn back.
Green Forest Community was originally a resettlement community, but with urban development, property prices in the area have become increasingly expensive. Even so, compared to other communities in the vicinity, this is considered quite ordinary. Its main advantage lies in its location.
This is an old residential area. The first phase consisted mostly of multi-story and mid-rise buildings. The second phase, due to rising property prices, saw the construction of mostly mid-rise and high-rise buildings. Rongyu's rented apartment is in the garage at the very bottom of the multi-story buildings.
Although it's a garage, it has all the necessary living facilities, and the price is the cheapest among the garages available for rent in the area. Rongyu is actually quite satisfied with being able to rent one.
He opened the garage door, expertly turned on the lights, and opened the windows to let in some fresh air.
The garage was sparsely furnished. Aside from his own equipment, Rongyu had only added a few things; the majority of his belongings were study materials and notes.
Except for a few things he needed, he had already packed up most of his things.
He had lived in this garage for almost three years, but now that he's been accepted into university, he'll soon be leaving.
