Chapter 1128 Xiaojie has grown up
"Xiaojie, you have grown up." Jing Qian praised without hesitation.
Jing Jie didn't know how to express it and his face turned red again.
He will grow up too. After seeing so much of the dark side of life and experiencing what happened to his parents and sister, he is no longer the Jingjie he used to be.
"So... next, can I just ignore everything and go directly to the Chole finals to watch this designer competition?"
Jing Jie smiled slightly, then nodded heavily.
Ever since she met Jing Qian, Scarfe had been wearing a sweet smile. She rode her bicycle through the richest district in Country I and arrived at the slums. She stopped in front of an old three-story house and pushed her bicycle inside.
This house is 100 years old. Although the facilities are maintained, there are frequent water and power outages, and various lines and pipes are often aging.
The Scarver family lives in such an old three-story house.
But they are not the only ones living in this three-story old house. In this old building, there are three families living on the second floor alone, and they share one kitchen, one toilet and one bathroom.
The bathroom was always filled with disgusting filth because a drunk had recently moved into their apartment on the same floor. He often drank until very late before returning home, and in the middle of the night, he could often hear his screams and vomiting. Sometimes, when he was able to take care of himself, he would go to the bathroom to vomit, which resulted in an indescribable stench in the bathroom.
There is also a bathroom. Although it is separated from the toilet, there is always a strange smell of disgusting men.
Scarfe had never liked going to the toilet or showering at home, preferring to ride her bike to the public bathroom a kilometer away. Especially after this disgusting man came, she sometimes needed to wash her hands, but looking at the dirty, yellowed stuff in the bathroom sink made her want to vomit.
She had had enough of this kind of life and tried her best to escape it, but her father died early, her mother was in poor health, and she had two younger brothers to support. Their family could not afford to buy a house and could only rent this slum.
When I first met Jingjie while playing the game "Counterattack Z16" on an international website, he was the only Z countryman in their war zone.
Her concept of Country Z has always remained in the last century. She always thinks that the people of Country Z are very poor, so she feels particularly superior in front of Jing Jie.
But gradually she discovered that it was not that Jing Jie could not afford the equipment, but that his skills were so good that he did not need to buy any equipment at all. He was at the level where he could directly participate in the competition.
As for money, he seemed to have more than her. He even bought her a set of equipment for $70 without blinking an eye when he saw her wanting it.
Seventy dollars is enough for their family of four to buy good meat and eat it every day for a week.
At that time, she felt that Jing Jie liked her, so she kept him hanging. Unfortunately, the boy didn't like to talk, so she was embarrassed to say too much to him, so as not to annoy him.
Over the past three years, she had borrowed a lot of equipment from Jingjie and had also joined the world with Jingjie. However, her level was much lower than Jingjie's, so she missed the world qualifying tournament for this game.
