I never knew being a foodie had such advantages!
Shi Xi turned around and headed to the second floor, leaning against the railing as she looked at the noisy crowd on the first floor.
Some bought what they wanted, their faces beaming with joy; some sold their belongings, received the money, and fantasized about a wealthy future; some were arguing fiercely with others…
Perhaps, only what we cannot obtain is good, precious, because it is rare.
Two people passed by the stairwell, whispering to each other. As they passed by Shi Xi, she could hear their conversation clearly.
"This year's black market doesn't feel like a black market at all. When I first came here, I thought I had come to the wrong place."
"Exactly. In the past, the black market was rife with arson, murder, robbery, prostitution, gambling, and drugs. I don't know what's gotten into Master Chen this year, but he's made it clear that these things are not allowed in the black market this year."
"I saw a woman with Master Chen, and he carefully escorted her up to the third floor. Do you think Master Chen forbade those actions because of that woman?"
"Very likely. When has a woman ever appeared in Master Chen's life? I'm afraid even Master Chen, who is not interested in women, has been tempted by worldly desires."
"I really want to meet the woman that Master Chen has taken a liking to. There was a rape in the first-floor restroom just now, and after the bodyguards found out, guess what happened?"
What happens to those who break the rules?
"I was beaten up by the bodyguards and kicked out. In the past, people who violated the black market rules never had a chance to live. Strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual."
"Master Chen's woman..."
The two walked away, completely unaware that the person they were talking about was standing at the top of the stairs.
Shi Xi couldn't hear their conversation either.
Seeing Shi Xi deep in thought, Di Shi hurriedly said, "Little Xi, the master also disliked the old rules of the black market, which is why the master changed them."
"Yesterday, Xiao Xiao was busy because many people disagreed with the changed rules, right?" Shi Xi lowered her eyes and asked softly, as if she were asking herself.
"No, there are many things happening every year at the black market, it's none of your business."
Di Shi did not stay by Di Chenxiao's side, knowing that Di Chenxiao faced opposition from many people. However, Di Chenxiao crushed them all with his strength, leaving them no choice but to abide by the rules set by Di Chenxiao.
When Di Chenxiao is not by Shi Xi's side, he is a man of his word, and no one has the power to change his decisions.
The weak can only obey what the strong say.
The concepts of strength and weakness are relative. When Di Chenxiao was by Shi Xi's side, he willingly submitted to her.
"oh!"
She was also puzzled as to why the black market was so clean and orderly, and everyone seemed quite well-mannered. It turned out that Xiao Xiao had cleaned it up.
She wasn't actually that weak, nor was she as... intolerant of darkness as Xiao Xiao thought.
Di Chenxiao simply didn't want his girl to encounter anything bloody or dark.
"Hour!"
Shi Xi was immersed in her own world when she was suddenly brought back to reality by a melodious voice.
Turning to the right, a man wearing a mask and a white suit walked towards me.
The man's white suit was exquisite and elegant, and the navy blue tie he wore gave him a refined and gentle air.
The tiny diamonds on the tie clip give it a more composed feel; the cuffs are decorated with dark blue cuffs.
The man's eyes were covered by a mask; he could see people, but others could not see his eyes beneath the mask.
