Chu Qi seemed indifferent to 009's words: [As long as I can make money]
And while making money, I can also look after Meng Xi, how great is that.
She did not forget that Meng Xi was likely to have the physical body of Haitang Wen. If she did not follow closely, if Meng Xi had an accident, she would have no place to cry.
Meng Xi looked up at Chu Qi in surprise. From her angle, she could only see the boy's perfectly shaped chin and part of his cheek.
Chu Qi is very tall.
At least 1.8 meters tall.
Meng Xi measured her height last year and was only 1.64 meters. She didn’t know if she had grown taller this year, but she felt there was no difference anyway.
There is at least sixteen centimeters difference in height between the two.
At this time, Chu Qi did not bend down for her, and the distance between them was too close, so Meng Xi could not see the expression on the other's face.
We agreed to send her to work, but ended up having two of us working together?
Meng Xi blinked her beautiful eyes blankly and followed Chu Qi like a puppet.
Chu Qi turned around and reminded: "Watch the road carefully."
...it was as if he had eyes on his back and could notice the girl's absent-mindedness.
Perhaps it was because the boy's tone was too gentle, Meng Xi suddenly became bolder, reached out and grabbed the hem of the boy's coat, and followed him closely.
Chu Qi felt a slight pulling force on her clothes, which she would have easily overlooked if she hadn't been so sensitive.
Looking back again, Chu Qi seemed to be thinking about something, wondering if she was cold?
The sun had not yet set and the temperature was still slightly hot. Chu Qi was actually a little hot wearing this thin jacket, but she was too lazy to take it off so she just kept wearing it.
Some girls are afraid of the cold. Chu Qi thought of this and simply took off her coat and put it on Meng Xi, "Wear it if you're cold."
Meng Xi: “…?”
Meng Xi was confused after getting a coat for no reason.
With doubts, she and Chu Qi entered the factory's workplace. When they sat down and started assembling toys, she suddenly had an epiphany: Doesn't he like someone pulling his clothes?
Just to save her face, I didn't say it explicitly, so I took off my clothes for her to interrupt her behavior.
Meng Xi understood.
However, why would such a good person do what he did last night?
Was he drugged?
At this moment, Meng Xi's eyes lit up slightly, and he was secretly happy about his discovery.
She didn't know why she was so happy, as if she would feel better if she could prove that Chu Qi was not a bad person.
Chu Qi suddenly received a starry eye from Meng Xi.
She paused in assembling the toy.
Then continue as if nothing happened.
.......Is she grateful to me?
It was cold indeed. Chu Qi felt so happy in her heart. She was so considerate, worthy of being a high-level host.
-
The two worked as temporary workers in the toy factory for three hours and got off work around 9:30.
Temporary workers in this factory are paid according to their hours, twelve yuan an hour.
I earned thirty-six dollars of hard-earned money in three hours.
It's pitifully little, but it's one of Meng Xi's few sources of income.
Chu Qi noticed that Meng Xi carefully put the money into her school uniform pants, pressed it with her hand, and a look of genuine joy appeared on her face.
Chu Qiv had only one dollar and fifty cents left, so she scanned the shared bike again and insisted on sending Meng Xi home.
Meng Xi's family lives in an older neighborhood.
Originally Chu Qi thought hers was old enough, but there are always higher mountains.
She wondered if the house where Meng Xi lived had become a dangerous building.
She didn't lock her car and smoked a cigarette at the gate of the community before going home.
Upstairs, Meng Xi opened the curtains and watched the young man leave. After turning a corner, he disappeared into another street and was completely out of sight. She couldn't tell what she felt, she just felt empty inside.
It was clear that the two had only known each other for one day, but she had unknowingly treated Chu Qi as a friend.
Perhaps because she had never received love, a little warmth was enough to open her heart.
Growing up without love can have serious consequences.
When you grow up, you will seriously desire love and even the slightest bit of attention.
Maybe this is why many people are deceived by just a lollipop.
She stood in front of the window for a long time, then she pulled the curtains and didn't turn on the lights. The room was dark, but it was her favorite environment.
Blend into the darkness. Or...be swallowed by the darkness.
The half-closed door was opened, and a middle-aged woman with a charming demeanor walked in and asked her, "Why don't you turn on the light?"
Meng Xi pursed her lips and said, "I forgot."
*
Click.
The light is turned on.
The woman looked the girl up and down, not as a mother looking at her daughter, but rather as if she was looking at a commodity, and her eyes were extremely picky.
After a while, the woman said:
"You didn't control your food intake today. You've gained some weight."
She reached out and touched the girl's slightly bulging belly, curled her lips, and scolded:
"How many times have I told you not to get fat? Control your food intake."
The woman had a split personality. After scolding the girl harshly, she raised her hand and gently touched her head, but her expression was no different from teasing a kitten or a puppy:
"Girls are only liked if they are slim. I have already found your in-laws for you. You can get the marriage certificate after you finish junior high school."
Meng Xi's eyes trembled and she shrank her neck. Her mother's cold fingers touched the tip of her ear, like an icy snake.
She bit her lip and whispered, "Mom, I want to continue studying."
The woman sat on the edge of the bed, picking at her nail polish:
"Mom is not unreasonable. If you can get into a 985 or 211 university, I will certainly let you continue your studies. But if you fail and get into a first- or second-tier university, you won't be able to find a high-paying job in the future, so it's better for you to get married as soon as possible so that you can get some dowry to support the family."
