Chapter 243
She lowered her head and followed silently.
Eugene, who had been cursing, slowed down, then changed the subject, raising an eyebrow and asking, "Do you know the difference between humans and animals?"
Jiang You almost bumped into his back. She shook her head, not really wanting to talk.
"Because humans use tools, while animals don't, you idiot."
Eugene glanced at her sideways. "Humans, using tools, can defeat tigers, lions, and bears that are stronger than themselves."
She looked up, and he put his hands behind his head, continuing lazily, "No matter how big the difference in strength between men and women is, they are still the same species. How much difference in strength can there be between people of the same size? Don't believe the idiots online who say they can't beat men. Even if the difference in strength is too great, the biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can use tools. Here, this is for you."
Jiang You stared blankly at the small knife that Eugene had thrown at him.
The blade was concealed within the black armor; judging from the hilt, it was the very blade that had nearly pierced the man's eye.
She watched for a long time, then quietly raised her head to observe Eugene.
"By the way, I'm taking you to my usual place now," he turned his head, squinted, and said stiffly, "This is the first time I've taken someone there. Don't touch, rummage, or rummage around inside, understand?"
Jiang You nodded, lowered his head again, and couldn't help but say, "No one would be so rude."
He scoffed and continued walking forward without stopping, spewing out unpleasant words.
She had already habitually blocked it out, following along while looking at her surroundings.
This place is dilapidated and old, with homeless people lying on the ground, seemingly dead, and drug addicts shouting and yelling from time to time.
Jiang You accidentally made eye contact with a homeless man. His cloudy eyes stared at her as he swayed as he got up. There were bottles of liquor around him, and he looked like he was drunk.
She gripped the knife tightly and subconsciously moved closer to Eugene, clearly realizing that she was no longer part of the Chinese nation.
Eugene gave her a disapproving look, then turned to the homeless man and arrogantly said, "You're so excited because you saw your dad?"
With his hands in the pockets of his baggy black overalls and his Doc Martens boots, he stepped forward, his slender and upright figure radiating disdain as he deliberately dragged out his words: "Was someone stabbed you in the back, or are you unable to poop, so this pooping is making you delirious, making you look at just anyone?"
Although Eugene's cheeks were still tender and he had some baby fat, making him look harmless and naive, his tall stature was enough.
The homeless man seemed to only then notice Eugene. His drunken haze cleared considerably, and he immediately slunk away.
Jiang You loosened her grip on the knife and looked up to meet the green eyes. She shrank back, lowering her eyes, knowing she was about to be scolded again.
His tone was undisguised mockery: "I'm telling you, woman, you're such a coward even with me around. There's a saying in China, 'a fox borrowing the tiger's might,' right? You, on the other hand, don't even have the guts to 'borrow the tiger's might.' I really don't know what you'll do when you're all alone..."
Jiang You unconsciously picked at his fingers, listening silently to Eugene's belittling.
Amid his mockery, the two arrived at the foot of a building.
Still in a dilapidated and crowded place, this building is no different from the surrounding houses.
It's a rental apartment, with a corridor on each floor, and a staircase separating the corridor on the left and right sides.
There are many doors in the corridor, which means there are many rooms.
Eugene stopped swearing, went up to the second floor, and walked behind a door.
