Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Oh my god! I’m going to die!
There are far fewer goods today than before, and all deliveries are completed just before two in the morning.
I stayed on the street for a while and then ran to the black-hearted convenience store I often go to to buy some rice balls.
“Ding ding—” The new masked clerk took out a scanner and scanned the rice ball. “13 yuan.”
The familiar price is still as expensive as ever.
However, there is only this one unscrupulous convenience store in the entire slum, and I can only buy food from here.
When I touched my body, I froze.
I didn’t bring any money!
"Cash or electronic payment?" Through the mask, the clerk's eyes were full of impatience, and he looked like a capitalist who told poor people not to eat rice balls if they couldn't afford them.
"My wallet is not here, I'll pay electronically," I said. "I'll issue an invoice."
The clerk looked up at me with a subtle expression.
What are you looking at?! 13 yuan is not money? I need an invoice! And it has to be paper!
Finally, I left the convenience store with the cold discounted rice balls and a receipt.
On the way back, I was still thinking about what was in the box that the rebels gave me.
If he really had a companion, he could have given the box to them to escort, instead of giving it to a stranger like me and increasing the risk. Is it possible that he didn't know where his companions were, and the police were searching for the rebels recently, so to prevent his companions' identities from being exposed, he captured a stranger to share the risk.
If we succeed, everyone will be happy. If we fail and are exposed, I will be the one who is caught!
If his companions didn't exist, then I would naturally do whatever I wanted.
But this possibility is too small. If these people can rebel, who knows what kind of counterattack they will make before they die.
When I realized this, I broke out in a cold sweat.
Damn it, why are the Celestial Dragons and the rebels exploiting a lowly cow like me?
The lives of cattle and horses are also lives!
Anxiety made me eat the rice ball faster.
I had no choice. When the other party targeted me, I only had one way left.
Either they were delivered safely, or they were sent to the gallows or shot.
I finished eating the rice ball in anxiety, and then miraculously put the matter out of my mind.
Hey, hey, hey! We still have three days left! What if my work route in three days is in the East District? I can just drop it off there.
With a strange sense of luck, I returned to my own puppy house with peace of mind.
The small house I live in is on the edge of the slum, in the buffer zone between the Keya area and the slum.
Because it is close to the police station, the company and the Kayak District, the monthly rent is as high as NT$800. Despite the high price, I still gritted my teeth and rented it when I got my citizenship.
Nothing else, just because it's close to the police station.
But sometimes it is so close to the police station that no thieves dare to break in.
I am so poor that I wish thieves would steal some valuables from other rich people's homes and then drop them off at my house so that I can take them for myself.
When I first saw Olvera, who had just taken office, I knew what I wanted and how to get it.
I took the box out of the canvas bag and examined it carefully.
It's a locked box, and there might be a miniature bomb inside. If I have the courage to pick the lock, I will die immediately.
Don’t be impatient yet, I told myself.
Everything has to be planned in the long run, and you will get it.
So I stuffed the box under the bed and covered it with some old wooden boards.
I fell asleep just like that.
The next day, I spent a normal afternoon and lunch, and still couldn't figure out how to send the box out safely without being discovered.
It seemed there was no choice but to go there myself.
It’s okay, I still have two days.
I thought to myself a bit shamelessly, and then I grabbed a piece of white paper from my neighbor when I went downstairs.
"Shameless thing!" the neighbor cursed, but didn't chase me to beat me.
The communicator kept ringing. It was Olvera who kept sending me messages, asking me to go to the police station to see him.
It's ridiculous. I just said yesterday that I didn't plan to continue associating with him. If I go to his door today, wouldn't it seem like I have no principles?
Do you still want my cool and self-respecting personality?
I rode my bicycle to the company and saw the pig-headed manager again.
He looked fatter than yesterday, and the buttons on his shirt were struggling to pull at the fabric on both sides, but still stubbornly revealed a disgusting belly button.
My eyes hurt just looking at it, but I still rushed to record my face and punch in before the last ten seconds.
"Useless, useless..." The manager rubbed his hands together and walked over, smiling flatteringly. "Regarding what happened on the 20th, I've thought about it and feel I shouldn't have deducted your wages like this. How about this? Record your face again and I'll put it on your attendance sheet for the 20th. How about that?"
See, this is what it feels like to have power. I don't even have to say anything, and someone will take the initiative to solve my problem.
I can’t believe how comfortable the people in Baideng Bay live and how nutritious the rice balls they eat are.
But I still have to refuse, "Will it be troublesome?"
"No, no, it'll only take you a dozen seconds. After the face recording is done, you can go up to see the boss."
I then followed him back to the time clock to re-enter my attendance for the 20th, and also got back the 300 yuan deduction from the stupid manager.
After doing all this, a big stone in my heart loosened.
Now the police station has no reason to put me back in jail for missing attendance, right?
As I took the elevator to the top floor, I folded a piece of white paper while thinking about the appropriate lines in my mind.
"bite!"
As I stepped out of the elevator, the last rays of sunlight fell on the curtains. I saw the servants draw aside the curtains, just enough to reveal the white light beam outside.
From a distance, it looks like a needle stuck into the ground out of thin air, abrupt and ugly.
I looked away and walked to the office door to knock.
But before my finger could touch the door, it was opened by the servant.
The young white-haired omega was still standing by the window pruning branches, but his scissors were waving in the air for a long time without falling, which looked very awkward.
"You really came," Kirsty said, glancing at me vaguely.
I know what that look means.
It was very similar to the way Olvera looked at me back then, but with the innocence that is unique to unmarried omegas.
I came to the desk and stopped about five meters away from him.
"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm glad you're willing to see me." I fixed my gaze on his eyes. "I just came here today to give you something."
As I said this, I took out the things in my arms.
It is a withered flower.
I picked it up casually from the company's flower garden downstairs.
Kirsty was stunned for a moment, then became offended and angry. She cursed as if her trust had been betrayed, "Damn it! Take away your garbage..."
"How could that be?" I immediately made an expression even more surprised than his, "I thought it would be fine."
I have to be justified and feel more sad and upset than him.
"I think this flower is beautiful, so I brought it here because I thought of you." I defended myself with an anxious expression, "I know it's just an unknown flower, and it's too ordinary compared to the one in your hand. But I really didn't mean to hurt it!"
Kirsty's expression softened slightly, and her hand began to tangle with her hair again. "What do you mean?"
"I just wanted to thank you." I knew it was time, so I took a step forward. "You made me feel respected, so I wanted to express my gratitude."
"But I didn't have money to buy variety flowers, so I could only pick one on the way to the company."
Although I have no money, I have feelings.
Is it money that the Celestial Dragons lack? What they lack is affection.
I watched Kirsty's expression change from shock to confusion, and then to a hint of emotion.
He must have attended a standard omega school before coming to the branch, which made him a marriageable omega full of fantasies about love.
Because he has no shortage of money, he does not realize how important money is to the lower classes. Because he has been loved by everyone, he naturally believes that everyone's feelings for him are pure.
That’s great, I like people like this.
I don't even need to label him, because after getting married, he will immediately draw a clear line with me and then throw himself into the arms of alpha. And I can just rely on his natural softness to get the high price of breakup pain for the rest of my life.
No, stop thinking about it, or I’ll start laughing.
"You mean this flower, that you found specially for me?" Kirsty's fingers kept tangling with her hair.
He left the windowsill and sat down at his desk.
The distance between the two of us became closer.
"...Yes." I deliberately lowered my voice, then said with a tone of regret and loss: "I'm sorry, I wanted to make you happy, but I did something stupid."
"Ah, yes, it's really silly." Kirsty raised the corners of her mouth and looked at me with raised eyebrows.
I raised my eyes again and looked him straight in the eye. When his pupils contracted, I said, "The color of the flowers is golden, exactly the same color as your eyes. It's like the sun, very dazzling. I like it very much."
Actually, I would rather say gold, but that would be too vulgar and would damage my temperament and personality, so I had to change to a more poetic word.
"You..." He blinked rapidly, then looked away awkwardly, "Have you ever been to school? You're such a sweet talker."
What a joke! How can I deceive people without any knowledge? Do I have to count on my fingers how much money I have left to buy rice balls every month while you Tianlong people are waxing poetic with me? A gigolo like me is very professional!
"Are these words making you unhappy? Sorry, I'm just speaking from my heart." I continued to act clumsy and inept. "Besides, I should be leaving now. I won't bother you anymore."
Kirsty was silent again this time.
His gaze was like some soft silk, constantly entwining around me.
I think if I were A, I would definitely be able to smell his pheromones.
Unfortunately, I am just a plain beta. Even if I expose the back of my neck at this time, the little o opposite me will just think I am joking.
Just as I turned around, I heard Kirsty's communicator beep.
He answered the phone and with my superior hearing I heard Olvera’s voice.
"Kirsty, is Bai Wuyong in the company? Arrest her, she's an accomplice of the rebels."
As soon as I finished speaking, I clearly felt the air around me freeze.
I castrated his uncle and said I was innocent!
Is Olvera really going to send me to the execution platform?
I turned slowly and saw Kirsty's frown of disgust.
Olvera continued speaking on the communicator, "Check the surveillance footage from the 20th carefully. She must have hidden the information in your company's warehouse on the 20th."
Kirsty's eyes were icy, as if she wanted to eat me alive. She replied word by word, "Of course, Bai Wuyong is here with me. Send someone over now."
"Even if she was shot on the spot, it would be fine."
I'm soaked! I'm soaked! I'm soaked!
I'm dying! I'm really dying!
Logically speaking, I didn't send any intelligence and didn't steal anything, so there was no need for me to be so panicked.
But the problem is, the person who arrived at the warehouse on the 20th was not me!
