At 9:20 pm, Lin Yan took off her makeup and received 450 yuan from Tang Mingxu. Of the 450 yuan, 400 was her salary and 50 was the extra taxi fare from Tang Mingxu. Given Lin Yan's stinginess, how could she possibly use this money to take a taxi? It was only a little after 9 o'clock, not 11 o'clock, and there were still buses available.
Because the space required for a secret room is relatively large, most of the secret rooms are located in remote areas. The secret room where Lin Yan works rents a building that was renovated from an abandoned factory. Although it is a distance away from the school, there is a direct bus. After walking out of the building, you will reach the bus stop in five or six minutes. However, because this place is relatively remote, there are not many buses and the intervals are long. If you walk a little further, there will be an urban village. After passing through the urban village, you will enter a relatively prosperous area, where there will be many more buses.
Lin An glanced at the real-time bus schedule and saw that the bus outside the building would not arrive for another half an hour. Lin An did not want to just wait and planned to go directly through the urban village to catch the bus and buy some food to reward herself.
People who have lived in big cities will know that although places like urban villages look messy, they are actually quite prosperous and sell all kinds of things.
Lin Yan had been to the urban village several times, and she had even visited the village to check the rental prices, planning to rent a small house in the village after graduation. However, this was the first time she went there at night.
Wearing headphones and carrying a backpack, Lin Yan skipped into the village. Not long after entering the village, she came across a night snack stall at the entrance of the alley. The boss had just fried a portion of stinky tofu and was pouring sauce and chopped green onions into it. Lin Yan was so smelly that she couldn't walk.
"Classmate, would you like one?" The boss looked at Lin Xi with a smile.
"How much?"
"Eight."
As expected, things in the urban village are much cheaper. If it were in the mall, it would cost at least fifteen yuan. "Okay, one serving, with more spicy sauce."
"Okay." The boss quickly poured a box of stinky tofu into the oil pan and started frying it. He asked Lin Yan to look at other things and said, "Is there anything else you want to eat? The iron plate tofu is not bad either."
"I can't just eat tofu. I'll come back next time to buy more." Lin Yan scanned the code to pay and chatted with the boss while waiting. "How do you know I'm a student? Most people who live here are already working, right?"
"Students and office workers have different temperaments, and you can tell at a glance."
"You also know what a corporate animal is?" Don't you have the temperament of a corporate animal? Lin Xi feels that she has done so much division of labor that she has already mastered the temperament of a corporate animal.
"How can you not know? Isn't someone like me a corporate slave?" the boss said cheerfully.
"You are not. You are a self-employed person, a boss. Social animals work for others."
"It's all the same, all the same." With the boss's hearty laughter, the stinky tofu was fried. According to Lin Yan's instructions, the boss gave a lot of hot sauce: "Eat it while it's hot, but be careful of the burn."
"Thank you, boss." Lin Yan ate as she walked. The hot stinky tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a spicy taste. Just one bite made Lin Yan squint with happiness.
The world is worth it, the world is worth it!
It's just that the boss is too honest, and the amount of chili he put in was a bit too much.
Lin Yan took a breath, looked around, and soon found a small supermarket. She ran over and opened the refrigerator, and her hand subconsciously fell on the Coke.
"It's not good to eat fried food and drink Coke at night. Let's change it." Lin Yan retracted her hand and looked at the lactic acid drink worth six yuan. "The bus only costs two yuan, the stinky tofu is eight yuan, and the bottle of drink is six yuan. There is still thirty-four yuan left. Buy it."
Lin Yan took the drinks and went to pay the bill. Suddenly, a black and gold lottery ticket holder flashed before her eyes.
Shake it twice and a lot will fall.
[Qi Anlian, 26 years old, was followed and raped when she returned home late at night.]
"Pah." Lin Yan dropped the drink in her hand to the ground because she had twisted the bottle cap loose. The instant the bottle cap fell to the ground, the milky white liquid spilled all over the floor. The flying liquid just happened to splash on a pair of black silk legs that had just stepped into the store.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lin Xi took out toilet paper from her bag and started wiping her beautiful legs.
"Don't move." The owner of the beautiful legs took a step back, with some suppressed anger in her voice, "My stockings are very expensive, be careful not to get them caught."
Lin Yan didn't dare to move anymore, and stood up carefully, only then did she see the woman's appearance. The woman had beautiful long curly hair, delicate makeup on her face, and a decent professional suit, which was supported by her tall and curvy figure, showing an elegant and charming style, which was what Lin Yan imagined a female white-collar worker to look like.
The woman took a look at her stockings and glared at Lin Xi unhappily.
"I'm sorry." Lin Xi apologized again.
"Forget it, you didn't mean it." The woman seemed tired and didn't want to argue with Lin Xi. She took a bottle of water, paid the bill and left.
Wait, the divination result hasn't been told yet. Lin Xi subconsciously wanted to chase after him.
"Hey, hey, hey, you haven't paid yet." The shop owner called out to Lin Xi.
"Oh oh oh," Lin Yan just remembered, took out her phone and quickly paid six yuan, then bent down and put the half-full bottle of drink on the ground into her arms. Just as she was about to chase after him, she fell back and asked the shop owner, "Boss, do you know the name of that beautiful woman just now?"
"I think his last name is Qi, but I can't remember his first name. Nowadays young people like to have English names..."
The boss kept talking a lot, but Lin Xi had already chased after him.
Although it was basically certain that the woman was Qi Anlian from the divination, considering that this was a village in the city with a dense population, it was possible that other women passed by within three meters. To be on the safe side, Lin Yan still asked the boss. At the same time, within three meters, and with the same surname of Qi, it was unlikely that there could be anyone else.
Qi Anlian was wearing high heels and was not walking fast. When Lin Yan came out of the shop, she was still at the intersection ahead. Lin Yan took a few quick steps and followed behind Qi Anlian, looking around vigilantly.
How about telling Qi Anlian the divination result directly? But will she believe it
Just as Lin Yan was hesitating, Qi Anlian, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lin Yan: "Why are you following me?"
Lin Yan held the unfinished stinky tofu in one hand and the half-full bottle of lactic acid beverage in the other hand. Facing the beautiful woman's gaze, she decided to tell her. No matter whether the other party believed it or not, she would keep her words in mind.
"Um, do you have a boyfriend?" Lin Wei asked.
Qi Anlian looked at Lin Yan in confusion: "Who asked you to ask?"
"No one asked me to ask. I wanted to say, if you have a boyfriend, ask him to pick you up. You are so beautiful and it's not safe now so late. Just now, many men were secretly looking at you." The latter sentence was added by Lin Xi herself. She said this to make Qi Anlian aware of the danger.
Qi Anlian didn't take it seriously after hearing this: "Thank you, my house is just up ahead, we'll be there soon."
"Someone is really watching you, and the way they look at you is particularly... particularly obscene." Lin Xi almost said directly that she wants to rape you.
Qi Anlian couldn't help laughing when she saw Lin Yan's serious expression. "Little girl, you're so funny. You haven't graduated yet. That's the way a man looks at a woman. You'll understand when you grow up."
Lin Yan was going crazy: "Aren't you afraid?"
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm just a little annoyed. I'll be fine when I move out." Qi Anlian was not surprised that some men looked at her. Since the first day she moved into the village, all the men around here had secretly looked at her. There were more than a dozen men who confessed their love to her, but she would not be attracted to the men who lived here. To be honest, she was a little tired of this place. Fortunately, she had just been promoted and had a salary increase, so she could move out next month.
"Would you believe me if I said I could tell fortunes?" Lin Yan said, "I predicted that you will be followed tonight, and then... by that."
Qi Anlian's eyes gradually turned cold.
"I'm sorry, I really am not cursing you. I really can tell fortunes. Whether you believe it or not, it's always right for you to be careful." Lin Xi closed her eyes and kept apologizing.
She said that this skill that can only predict bad luck is really too hateful, like a bird of mourning.
“My little classmate, study hard before you graduate. I used to like horoscopes and divination, but after graduation you will know that these things will not give you extra points when you are looking for a job.” Qi Anlian said this as if giving a warning or a reminder, and then she ignored Lin Yan and left in her high heels.
Her walking posture was very beautiful, charming and seductive, exuding a feminine scent. The faint fragrance came with the night wind, and Lin Yan woke up suddenly and chased after her in a few steps.
"Why are you still following me?" Qi Anlian frowned.
"Let me take you home. It's safer for two of us to walk together at night." Lin Yan said sincerely. The pervert would not dare to attack when he saw so many people around.
Qi Anlian was silent for a moment, then asked a question: "You sent me back, so how are you going to go back alone? What if there is really danger?"
“Boom!!!”
Lin Xi was struck by lightning and froze on the spot. She... she seemed to have forgotten something very, very important.
Her extreme luck value of -99, as well as the hidden attributes that come with her luck value, attract hatred.
No, no, Qi Anlian is so feminine, and I am still a child.
"If you are scared, go home quickly. There will be no one on the road if it is too late." Qi Anlian saw that the girl was pale and knew that she was scared. She advised her and continued to walk home. She did not lie just now. Her home was not far away. It was only a dozen meters ahead and could be seen.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the divination task and gaining 1 merit point. Help the other party avoid bad luck and gain an additional 9 merit points."
It worked.
Lin Yan first breathed a sigh of relief, then shuddered all over, turned around abruptly, and shivered as she looked at the dark alley behind her. At this moment, she was like a little white rabbit in the wilderness, and there were beasts lurking behind every shadow.
Better call someone to pick it up.
Lin Xi took out her cell phone and called Tang Mingxu. This place was closest to the factory, so Manager Tang should be able to get here soon.
“Manager, can you…” Before Lin Yan could finish her words, the screen of her mobile phone suddenly went dark and it ran out of battery and turned off.
"There's no electricity at this time. How unlucky can we be?!" Lin Xi wailed.
"Host, don't you have any idea about your luck?" The system's voice sounded at an inopportune time.
"Please don't taunt me at a time like this, okay?" Lin Xi was really about to cry.
