Chapter 159: Revisiting the Past
The man suddenly raised his voice and shouted, opened his backpack, turned it upside down, and poured out a pile of food.
"I've given away my entire small warehouse of food, and I'll die of starvation and thirst on the second floor! Don't worry about me, don't worry about my life or death. Heaven and earth will witness it! Let Big Brother see that I'm truly committed to surrendering!!!"
He Rui was dumbfounded watching from the side.
"Oh my god, you have so much food hidden in your bag?? And you're still crying hungry every day, eating and drinking for free? How shameless..."
Ji Changqing didn't even bother to look at the pile of things on the ground.
His eyes remained on the man, sizing him up coldly.
Secretly assess in your heart.
I'm afraid there's no way to get rid of them for now.
Due to the heavy snow, if we force the other party to leave now, it would be almost like forcing him to die.
He didn't care whether the man lived or died.
However, there was no way he would force the other person's friend to death in front of the idiot, leaving the idiot with the impression that he was cold-blooded and heartless.
This guy has no choice but to stay.
Given He Rui's personality, he originally thought that this idiot might stand up for him for a few days and give the man the cold shoulder for a while.
But after the fight just now, the idiot was unable to defeat the opponent and lost his momentum.
Now he doesn't even give the other person a cold look.
If this trend continues, it might not be long before that forgetful idiot will start playing with that guy again.
This is what he doesn't want to see...
After thinking for a while, Ji Changqing said to the man in a cold voice, "You are a smart person."
There was no way the idiot could stop it.
Then let this man take the initiative to know the limits.
Since the other party was willing to bow his head and admit the false fault, he insisted on staying.
He must have other plans for this.
Perhaps out of curiosity and an attempt to become an evolver.
Or maybe you don't have such big ambitions, and just simply want to follow a capable person in this world?
No matter what.
As expected, the other party should have seen what he cared about.
You should also know why you were wronged by him.
Ji Changqing temporarily blocked out all the sounds around He Rui and spoke to the man.
"If you want to stay, stay away from him and keep your distance."
The other person twitched his lips, quickly glanced at the idiot, and gave him a flattering smile, saying sincerely, "Okay, Boss! I'll do as you say!"
Ji Changqing untied the sound insulation layer surrounding the idiot and turned back to the fifth floor.
He Rui also wanted to follow and ask what happened and whether the guy had been forgiven.
Mysteriously, he seemed to have tinnitus just now and could only hear the background music.
Looking at Lao Liu, he opened his mouth but no sound came out, and he spoke a sentence with his mouth.
He Rui ran two steps and was stopped by someone behind him. He picked up all the food that was piled up in a mess on the ground, which was wrinkled and not sure whether it had spoiled or not, and gave it to him.
He Rui quickly dodged, "No, no! Keep it for yourself!"
The other person held the pile of things and tried to force it on him, "I won't keep any of them, take them all! I'm going to be hungry from today! Just let me die of thirst and hunger while I faithfully guard the door downstairs!!"
"It's so annoying! No, no! Take it away, I don't want anything!!" He Rui ran away in disgust, quickly passed by Ji Changqing, and strode upstairs.
The man also ran upstairs with something in his arms. When he passed by Ji Changqing, he grinned at him and flattered him like a lackey.
"Boss, this way! Boss, be careful on the stairs! Watch your step, slow down! Watch out for the bumps! I'll go up first and come down right after I deliver the stuff. I won't stay on the fifth floor for even a minute longer!"
After saying that, the man also passed Ji Changqing and ran to the fifth floor.
He piled all the items in the corner, and while doing so, he repeated his determination to He Rui who was trying to stop him.
Ji Changqing sneered, looked at the busy figure upstairs, a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, and continued to go upstairs as if nothing had happened.
He Rui picked up the food that the other person had put on the ground, and then chased after him to stuff it back into his arms.
"Take away all your food, who wants it? Take it away, take it away!"
He said with disgust.
The other party hid far away, "You take it away just because I tell you to? Can you make the decision for the boss?"
He Rui heard this, thought about it, and felt that it was not possible.
But looking at the junk in his hand, he guessed that Ji Changqing was unlikely to want these things.
After all, why did they accept this mess that Lao Liu had to bring up just for show?
He could tell at a glance that the boy was just putting on a show. He thought that if they really planned to eat this guy's food, the other party might cry out of heartache.
He Rui looked at the messy and dirty food and found that there were even some bread and canned food that Ji Changqing had given to Lao Liu before.
The bread bag had been opened and sealed again.
All the air in the bag was released, and the mysterious bread was flattened into a round cake.
Lao Liu didn't seem to be worried that the food would spoil faster after the bag was opened, or maybe it was because the temperature was too low so he didn't care much.
He realized that this guy was intentionally compressing the volume of food as much as possible and stuffing as much supplies as possible into the bag to save them.
This way of cherishing food seems inexplicably pitiful.
Even for someone like him who normally wouldn't waste food, he felt it was a bit exaggerated.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never been hungry no matter how hard his life was.
Even after the disaster, we have always had enough to eat and have never been short of food or water.
Looking at Lao Liu looking like a mouse hoarding food, I suddenly felt very sad.
Suddenly, I felt it was real.
From their actions, I have some understanding of those survivors who have no protection and have not stockpiled food in advance.
Living in this disaster era of food and water shortages, we can see how difficult it is and how much we value supplies.
"...He definitely doesn't want it. Just take it. Take your things and get away quickly. Don't bother me here..."
Ji Changqing, who was the slowest to move and had just arrived on the fifth floor, walked towards the two people in front and glanced coldly at the man.
The other party instantly moved away from He Rui as if to avoid suspicion, turned around and was about to run away, "I'm leaving, I'm leaving!"
"Stop." Ji Changqing called out to the man, "Take your things."
The man knew when to stop and said with a smile, "Oh, how embarrassing! It seems that the boss has forgiven me! He couldn't bear to see me starve to death... The boss is so righteous! Thank you for taking care of me."
Ji Changqing frowned slightly, "Get lost."
"Okay!" The other person smiled and stuffed the pile of things on the ground into his clothes, then turned around and carried them downstairs.
He Rui was watching from the side and was amazed. "That guy is so shameless. He didn't even get angry when people scolded him. What a talent. He didn't get angry at all. This guy has really practiced the word shameless to the extreme..."
He turned around and asked Ji Changqing, "Brother Ji, have you ever told me to get lost before?"
He Rui could no longer remember whether he had been scolded like this by Ji Changqing before.
Watching Lao Liu being scolded, I felt a sense of déjà vu, as if I had also been scolded... but it also seemed as if I hadn't...
