Chapter 38 Chapter 38 The 'Fairy Godmother' of the Social Slave...
Since she had earned a free lunch at noon, poor Xiao Shen generously took her brother Chi to take a taxi home. She flipped through the taxi app and finally chose the cheapest carpooling option.
Soon, two more girls got into the taxi. When they saw Chi Shuangliu, their eyes lit up.
This handsome man possessed a combination of Western features and Eastern skin, a gorgeous and refined beauty that bordered on the uncanny. They exchanged glances for a long time, but finally, unable to resist the allure of the succubus, the woman in the passenger seat boldly spoke up, "Little brother, can you add me on WeChat?"
After hearing this, Chi Shuangliu glanced at Chen Run almost subconsciously.
She hasn't gotten into the mood yet, and has a look of watching the fun.
The smile on his face faded a little, and he pushed Shen Run hard on the back with his palm: "Ask her."
Chen Run: “…”
The girl saw this and thought he was already taken. She smiled at him awkwardly and said, "Sorry, little sister..."
As we all know, a man with a girlfriend is not a human being no matter how handsome he is. She turned her head away tactfully.
The atmosphere in the car became awkward because of this little episode. No one in the car spoke anymore, except Chen Run, who didn't take it to heart at all. She started to feel sleepy after being bumped around by the taxi twice, and fell asleep with her head tilted back and her legs spread out.
Through the rearview mirror, the girl in the front row saw Chen Run's head shaking from side to side. After braking once, her body tilted and her head rested on the shoulder of the handsome guy next to her.
The handsome guy's body suddenly stiffened, revealing an overly deliberate expression of disgust. He raised his hand stiffly, as if trying to push her away.
The taxi bumped again, and Chen Run's head was thrown off his shoulder.
He quickly grabbed her head and pushed her back down, even adjusting her to a more comfortable position.
The girl and her best friend exchanged a meaningful, gossipy look.
......
After escaping death and successfully acquiring super powers, Shen Run once again embarked on the eternal task of a social animal in his life - working.
Although it sounds far-fetched, it is in line with the national conditions. There is no shortage of people with special abilities in the country, and the control over them is extremely strict. They are not even allowed to use their special abilities in places where ordinary people gather. If people with special abilities want to make a name for themselves, they must either take the civil service exam or commit crimes. Otherwise, they can only choose to work - the only advantage is that if they find a job that matches their special abilities, they can get a higher salary - such as the group of researchers with special abilities under the parasol.
Lu Kuo from Sun Umbrella has returned to the United States to hide from the limelight. The extra-curricular job that Yan Xunqing mentioned to her before has not been settled for a while, and even if it is settled, she will have to take the national examination at the end of the year to officially enter the system.
Although the online loan company's den was destroyed and she no longer had to worry about repaying the money, after deducting living expenses and rent, she only had two or three thousand left in her card, part of which was transferred to her by Chen Wen before. She felt uneasy in a foreign country with no money on hand.
Sighing, she went to the convenience store where she used to work part-time. However, because she had been forced to miss a few days of work after being arrested, the convenience store had already hired a new employee. The boss said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Xiao Shen, you're diligent and work very carefully. I'd really like to keep you, but we're really full..."
He sighed, "Don't worry, I'll pay you next month's salary. I won't deduct any pay for the days you were absent from work, and I'll also include your attendance bonus. There'll be a chance in the future."
The boss was already quite kind, so Shen Run felt embarrassed to say anything more. She opened the software and formally submitted several resumes. After receiving the interview notice, she changed into the semi-professional suit she had worn before, which was specially used for the occasion, and started a new round of interviews.
The first company: "Sorry, Ms. Shen, your academic qualifications and major may not be suitable for us."
Shen Run thought to himself: You bastard, why did you ask me to come for the interview?
Second company: "Have you ever worked at a parasol company? Can you tell me what specific position you held? I noticed you left after less than a month. Is it convenient to ask why?"
Chen Run thought to himself: ...Job content: serving a very powerful psychic. Reason for leaving: a group fight involving psychics.
The HR of the third company was quite enthusiastic: "This young lady looks very suitable for offline chatting. The job content is to accompany customers for drinks and playing cards. Don't worry, it's purely green. We will..."
Before he could finish his words, Shen Run grabbed his bag and left.
She interviewed five or six companies in a hurry, but didn't find a suitable one until dark. When she got off the bus, she heard a clear "hissing" sound. Looking back, she saw a protruding nail on the seat, which had torn her skirt into a hole more than two inches long - the professional suit she bought for nearly a thousand yuan was scrapped.
Although she was wearing safety pants so as not to expose herself, it was still embarrassing enough. There were already many people on the bus during the evening rush hour, and now there were more than ten or twenty pairs of eyes on her. Fortunately, a young lady took off her sun-protective coat to cover her. She wanted to add the young lady on WeChat so that she could wash the clothes and return them to her in the evening, but she waved her hand and declined.
Shen Run felt extremely embarrassed. He thanked the young lady in a low voice, lowered his head, and hurriedly jumped out of the car.
Maybe when people are unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in their teeth. At the door of her house, she felt her pocket and realized that she had forgotten to bring her keys. She was extremely depressed and didn't want to bring negative emotions home, so she simply sat down on the steps and sulked.
She had to admit that after she knew she was a person with superpowers, she did have many dreams of getting rich. However, the gap between reality and her ideal was so huge that not only could she not find a job and had no money, she also faced the risk of retaliation from chaebols and cults.
The gap in life was too great. She couldn't bear the blow and buried her face in her arms dejectedly.
She felt like crying, but forced herself to hold back her tears.
Growing up, expressing emotions was not allowed at home. Whenever she was wronged, people close to her would either laugh at her or look down on her. Over time, she got used to keeping all her grievances in her heart.
She was so absorbed in her sulking that she didn't notice anyone approaching her until a large hand covered her head. "What's wrong?"
Shen Run raised his head.
Chi Shuangliu's voice was very warm. She couldn't help but pout and cried ugly: "Brother Chi..."
Although her crying face was not flattering, Chi Shuangliu still felt a pain in his chest, and a very special sour and numb feeling pulling at his heart - he was a little suspicious whether he had a heart disease that is common among elderly people.
At the same time, he had a strange urge to hold her in his arms and comfort her.
He was silent for only a second before taking action. He clasped the back of her head with his hands and pressed her into his arms.
The two of them stood and sat, her face buried in his abdomen, feeling his muscles through a thin layer of clothing.
He didn't say anything, nor did he ask her why she was crying. He just let her express her emotions. She sobbed for a long time, until the piece of cloth was completely soaked with tears. She raised her head and said embarrassedly: "Brother Chi..."
She wiped her tears carelessly, touched her nose, and observed his expression: "Have I caused you any trouble?"
Chi Shuangliu didn't understand her thoughts: "It's obviously you who is unhappy, why do you care whether you cause me trouble?"
If the ban can be lifted in the future, if he is still unhappy, he will definitely find a way to make all of humanity unhappy. Some of Shen Run’s ideas are really stupid.
The way she cries now is also stupid.
But kind of cute.
Shen Run couldn't say for sure. She thought about it and sighed: "I don't know. Maybe I'm afraid that others will dislike me."
Since this excuse sounded so pathetic, she stood up, brushed the dirt off her butt, and walked into the house while saying, "Are you hungry? I'll go cook..."
She was stunned when she entered the room. There were four dishes, a soup, and two bowls of fragrant white rice on the table, all steaming hot.
Chi Shuangliu also followed in and closed the door: "Go wash your hands and eat."
Shen Run looked shocked: "You made this? You can cook?"
Chi Shuangliu said casually: "Is this strange?"
——He learned it by watching short videos.
His strength cannot be restored for the time being, and in a short period of time, his wealth and status cannot be compared with Yan Xunqing, so the short video suggests that he change track, find another way, start from the direction he is good at, and enhance his core competitiveness.
Chi Shuangliu felt that humans could still come up with something useful.
Chen Run tasted every dish and was amazed - every dish was what she liked, even the taste of the soy sauce and vinegar, the softness and heat of the stir-fried vegetables, and the fact that none of the four dishes and one bowl of soup contained any of her taboo ingredients.
She doesn't like ginger and is allergic to shrimp, but because her father likes ginger and her brother likes shrimp, these two things are often seen on their family's dining table, and no one has ever considered accommodating her taste. No, it should be said that no one remembers what she likes and dislikes. Sometimes she will be scolded for being picky if she avoids eating them.
She felt her eyes moist and she felt like crying.
After dinner, Chen Run felt very embarrassed and stood up to wash the dishes, but Chi Shuangliu quickly cleared the dishes and chopsticks: "The only thing you need to do now is to take a hot bath and get a good night's sleep, so that you can prepare for the interview tomorrow."
When he mentioned this, Shen Run immediately thought of something sad: "I guess I can't have the interview tomorrow." She untied the sunscreen jacket around her waist and frowned: "My skirt is torn."
She started buying new clothes for herself when she went to college. Before that, she only wore her cousins' old clothes. This was the only set of clothes that was slightly more expensive and could suit her occasion. But she was reluctant to use her remaining savings to buy better clothes.
Chi Shuangliu put the dishes in the sink and gently pushed her back to the bedroom: "I said, you just need to have a good rest, leave the rest to me."
What good solution did Chi Ge have for this kind of thing? After taking a shower, Chen Run sent a message to her roommate to see if she could borrow a business suit. Before she could get a reply, she fell asleep.
When she woke up in the morning, she saw her business suit lying flat on the sofa. The holes were gone, and it looked as if it had been washed, emitting the scent of laundry detergent.
Chi Shuangliu smiled and said, "Try it on and see if it fits you."
Just based on Chen Run's shocked expression, it was worth it for his several tentacles to work overtime.
As for why he cared so much about Shen Run, he attributed it to the fact that he didn't want her to be abducted by Yan Xunqing and cause his plans to go awry.
Shen Run felt like he had met a fairy godmother and was about to thank him when he stopped him: "We don't have much time. You should change your clothes first."
He didn't want Shen Run's thanks, so of course he would ask for what he wanted.
Chen Run went into the bedroom with her suit in her arms. After about twenty minutes, she put on her clothes and came out with a quick makeup on her face: "How is it? Brother Chi, you..."
Her makeup skills are average, so she simply drew her eyebrows, applied some sunscreen and lipstick. Fortunately, her foundation is good, so she looks good even with just a few touches.
Before she could finish her words, she felt his eyes on her.
That gaze seemed to carry a scorching temperature, so that her face became red and swollen, and she even felt a slight stinging pain as if she was being burned.
After a while, he said slowly: "It looks very good."
At this moment, he clearly felt that he had reacted.
Not in a dream, but in reality.
He had no way to argue or deny it, and he finally realized deeply that he had developed a desire for her.
Strong, violent, bottomless, and aggressive desire.
