Chapter 48 The Water Delivery Guy's Tragedy



These words left Wang Dazhuang dumbfounded. Did he mean that his skin was good because he hadn't washed his face? The key point was that his skin was too good; if it wasn't "skin as smooth as porcelain," it was definitely smooth and delicate.

How can a man have such great skin?! Even women would be jealous!

But Li Lechen was clearly unaware of this situation. He hadn't looked in the mirror before leaving the house, and because of his mother's phone call, he had completely forgotten about applying the diamond essence to his face last night.

Fortunately, Teacher Cang's many films weren't made for nothing. After thinking about it for a while, Wang Dazhuang's confidence was strengthened, and he returned to reality from his random thoughts, changing the subject by asking, "Did Zhou Mi send you the answers?"

"It's been sent. They just sent me a photo of the exam paper."

"How's the resolution? What phone did she use to take the picture? If it's not clear enough, it will be hard to see clearly after it's been resized."

"You're not so lazy as to just print the photo and then shrink it, are you? Isn't it just copying it and then shrinking it? How can you even look at a shrunken photo? With Zhou Mi's phone..."

"Copying twelve exam papers? That'll get you killed."

"That's your problem. Anyway, I got the answer key from Zhou Mi."

"..."

The two walked together, looking at the photos on their phones, which helped to dispel the awkwardness from earlier.

"Click-clack~~~"

A series of rattling sounds came from the chain as a tricycle loaded with bottled water rode by.

The sound of that water delivery guy riding his beat-up tricycle can be heard everywhere in the area, except usually it's a bit faster. Today, it seems a little more leisurely.

Indeed, the water deliveryman today wasn't the usual guy, but a newly hired man in a baseball cap. He was tasked with finding that "tall, thin, chubby student," but thanks to the diligent security guard, although he managed to sneak in last night, he ended up being swarmed by mosquitoes all night.

Now, he had to polish his glasses and observe carefully.

Fortunately, those black-rimmed glasses definitely made this "tall and thin student" stand out in the crowd, after all, there aren't many young people wearing this style of glasses these days.

"Hey! Water delivery guy!"

Suddenly, a sound interrupted the "click-clack" of the chain jamming.

The tricycle stopped, and Li Lechen and Wang Dazhuang, who were walking, also stopped.

The three of them looked up in the direction of the sound.

"Hey! Bro! I ordered two bottles of water. It's on the fifth floor here. Could you deliver them to me first? I'm going out in a bit!"

The one shouting was the older single woman who lived on the fifth floor below Li Lechen's apartment. She was leaning out of her window and waving downstairs.

Along with her waving hand, her see-through nightgown and the mound of flesh beneath it moved as well. Looking up from below, the angle was simply...interesting.

Women are usually slow and indecisive, taking one or two hours to go out. But strangely enough, they change clothes incredibly quickly when they get home.

The auntie I ran into just now when I went downstairs was dressed in a formal suit and high heels a minute ago, but in the blink of an eye she was wearing a revealing outfit without a bra.

Do not look at what is improper!

Li Lechen quickly looked away and nudged Wang Dazhuang. The two then resumed their serious discussion about the exam questions.

Where were we just now?

"You should copy the answers onto the test paper and then make a miniature copy of the test paper; that will give you better results."

"Yes, yes, that works well."

"Then let's get started."

"Just come to my house and copy my test paper."

"It will be all right."

So, the two of them practically fled to Wang Dazhuang's house. First, Li Lechen's house was a bit scary; there was a shady auntie on the fifth floor, and they were really worried about the water delivery guy. Second, Wang Dazhuang didn't want to climb the stairs; his house was on the second floor, and the copy shop was right outside after he copied the test paper.

Meanwhile, the man in the baseball cap reluctantly picked up a bucket of water.

That's right, at this moment he's a typical water deliveryman, but he hasn't delivered a single bucket of water since arriving in the district. Now that someone is calling for him, he has no choice but to deliver.

If he didn't deliver it soon, he was afraid that the security guard from last night would show up again and interrogate him.

I took two steps, then realized the customer wanted two buckets. Carrying one on my back and lifting the other in my hand didn't seem so bad. So I went back to my car, grabbed another bucket, and headed up to the fifth floor.

Although one is bound to get hurt in the world, a body that can withstand a cut doesn't mean it can carry water, and a fearless attitude doesn't mean it can endure hardship.

The consequence of this lazy burden was that when the man in the baseball cap carried water on one shoulder and in the other hand up to the fifth floor, his whole body felt like it was going to fall apart.

Well, this isn't a job I can do long-term anyway. To get 50 million worth of goods in, I have to pay a price.

Dragging his aching body downstairs, the man in the baseball cap got back on his tricycle and began looking around again. He refused to believe that he wouldn't spot the tall, thin boy with black-rimmed glasses after driving around the area for a couple of hours.

If you can't find it, then turn the clock four times. If you still can't find it, then turn the clock a full hour. In any case, you must find it.

However, the consequences of wandering around became increasingly serious as time went on. Because of the prolonged delay in water delivery, the calls inquiring about the water supply became more and more frequent, to the point that if the delay continued, he would lose his job. Therefore, the man in the baseball cap had to keep a close watch on the situation while trying his best to complete the water delivery duties.

This is really dangerous.

The man in the baseball cap grumbled as he carried water, thinking back to when he decided to become a hoodlum. Wasn't it because he was afraid of hardship and fatigue, didn't do well in school, couldn't go to university, and couldn't do manual labor? He never thought that he would still have to do this kind of physical work now.

Indeed, every profession has its untold hardships. Who would have thought that a layabout who only needed to collect protection money and do surveillance work would actually have to deliver bottled water door-to-door?

Then, not only did I have to deliver water, I also encountered a dog.

Thieves are afraid of dogs, besides the police. The man in the baseball cap is afraid of dogs, big dogs, pet dogs, as long as they are dogs.

The family that delivered water earlier, that curly-haired golden dog, for some reason kept barking at me, and the owner didn't even try to stop it, causing me...

Wow!

The man in the baseball cap suddenly remembered the family he had just delivered water to. Because of the dog's barking, he had hurriedly put down the water and hadn't even taken the money.

A bucket of water costs 15 yuan, which isn't a lot of money, but the problem is that I did the work and still lost money, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.

But if I go back up to get my 15 yuan back, I'll have to face that wretched dog again.

What a contradiction!

Having carried several buckets of water in a short period of time, he was exhausted and simply sat down by the flower bed downstairs.

Let's take a break. If we don't rest, we'll collapse from exhaustion.
