Chapter 251 A Young Female Factory Worker in the 1930s (42)



Xu Keke was too lazy to socialize with them, so she said a few words and went back to her room.

A short while later, Chen Han came in and, as usual, had someone bring her some Western pastries and a cup of fruit tea.

"Alright, I know you're in a hurry to get down. I just saw it, all the girls are surrounding you. You just said a few words to me, and they're all waiting for you. Go on now."

Xu Keke's words made Chen Han very proud.

She hadn't planned to eat with Xu Keke in the first place. Now that she had said so, she couldn't very well insist on waiting for Xu Keke to finish eating before leaving.

All I could do was instruct them, "The servants are outside. Once you're finished eating, just have them come in and clear the plates."

After Chen Han left, Xu Keke took her things to the balcony and poured out the tea. Just as she was about to throw away the snacks, a small paw reached out from the side and grabbed at them.

Xu Keke quickly took the plate away, saying, "You can't eat this. Who knows what's been added to it? If you eat it, you won't be able to go back."

The little monkey couldn't understand her words; it only knew that she wouldn't let it eat and bared its teeth at her to scare her.

It was the little monkey the street performer had that day. But it kept circling around the Chen family's house, and I don't know what it wanted.

Xu Keke took out the other food prepared in the house and fed it to the dog. Afraid that the dog would still want the snack, she threw the snack into a box and covered it.

A faint sound of a bamboo flute came from outside, and the little monkey, grabbing some food, darted and jumped out.

Xu Ke was afraid it might return, so he didn't dare throw the pastries down again. He simply tossed the box aside.

When Huihui returned to her room that evening, Xu Keke was already in bed.

Although they nominally lived in the same room, they didn't actually sleep together much because Xu Keke had gone out for a few days.

During these few limited days, Huihui also avoided her. She would either go to bed earlier than her or wait until she fell asleep before going back to her room.

As Huihui cautiously went to open the balcony door, Xu Keke was watching her from behind.

Huihui didn't sleep inside. After opening the balcony door, she quietly went out again.
