Be Teased and Lost by Her - C184

“Ah, what do you mean by that? Do you think Xiao Qi misunderstood you?!”

“Yeah, I always thought it was like this!”

“You!” Cui Cui turned the steering wheel, and the car immediately turned into a less populated alley.

“Why? What I said was the truth!” Chen Huan smiled as she thought about it, she wondered why she would think so much.

However, felt that it was strange for him to meet someone who treated him well and trusted his colleagues just like that when he had just joined the company. If one were to say that Xiao Qi was naturally warm-hearted, Chen Huan was really not willing to believe it.

Then, what goal did Xiao Qi have to be so close to the crowd and treat them coldly?

“Why are you thinking so much?” The car jolted back and forth until it came to a stop in front of a billboard the size of a desk. Seeing Cui Cui push open the car door and get out, Chen Huan had no choice but to follow along.

It was a row of only a few open doors, with lighted bungalows, and the concrete parking lot in front of the bungalows was pitted with age. Looking from afar, Cui Cui walked into a general store.

Because he didn’t know what Cui Cui wanted to do inside, Chen Huan could only stand in the car park and wait. Last night, during the winter rain, a small amount of water had accumulated in the potholes.

He did not know why there were people doing business here, but Chen Huan saw that some of the closed shops had very eye-catching red words painted on the rolling gate: “Remove”.

“What did you buy?” When Cui Cui came out, she quickly went to welcome her.

“It’s just some small stuff. I’ll be sorry to go empty-handed when I meet the guests later!” Cui Cui laughed, then stuffed the whole bag into Chen Huan’s hands and bent down to enter the driver’s seat.

After confirming that Chen Huan was seated, she drove straight through the potholed parking lot. Although it was driving slowly, it still made Chen Huan’s butt bumpy and she left her seat. It was like sowing soybeans, rising and falling, left and right.

Chen Huan felt like she was about to vomit the milk from last night. Chen Huan stretched her head out the window and looked outside, only to realize that the carriage had arrived at the mouth of a dark alley.

At first glance, the alley was filled with a chilly air, and a faint stench of feces was mixed in the cool wind.

“Get out, my lady!” Cui Cui reached out to push open the door, and when she said that, she slammed the door shut. Chen Huan didn’t understand what Cui Cui wanted to do, so she followed her out of the car hesitantly.

“This…” As he stood at the mouth of the alleyway, carrying Cui Cui’s previous purchases, an even stronger stench assaulted his nose. Chen Huan remembered seeing such a scene, it was just that that time was the worst time for Su Tianxing.

He stuck his head into the alley and looked around. It was dark and obscure, and he could see the road clearly because of the lights. There were more potholes than the parking lot in front of them, and the black dirty water covered three-quarters of the road.

“Let’s go!” Cui Cui casually threw a piece of white paper into the closest two gigantic trash cans, and then grabbed Chen Huan with her hand and walked into the alley. The further in she went, the narrower the road became, and the stench in her nostrils grew stronger.

Along the way, trash constantly filled the road. Because he had to be careful of that damnable puddle of water every step of the way, it took half an hour for Chen Huan and Cui Cui to stand in front of the doors of a household.

Walking in an alley was like walking in a horror movie. Wild cats and dogs would appear from time to time on the walls and trash cans. When Cui Cui knocked on the door, she quietly pulled on her clothes that were drenched in cold sweat.

Worried that something would suddenly appear. When Cui Cui knocked on the door, she would stand there with her back to the door. There was no moonlight, only the weak light streaming out from the gap of the wooden door behind her, and the visibility was no more than five meters.

Just as Chen Huan was using all of his strength to look at his surroundings, the wooden door behind him creaked open, and following that, Qingqing Cui Cui’s voice slipped into her ears: “Ah, Big Sister Cui Cui!”

“Come in, it’s cold outside!” Cui Cui held her hand, and pulled Chen Huan inside the door. Turning around, Chen Huan was stunned. It was a room of less than thirty square feet, but full of heads and bunks.

The beds were side by side, from the left wall to the right wall. There was a thin layer of straw covering the path that was less than 50 cm wide. The straw randomly spread out a bed of bedding, and then a bed, so it would count as a bed.

The only light in the room was the one overhead, one of those incandescent lamps of about forty watts. The walls were dilapidated and black, as if they were covered in a layer of pot ash. It was dark and damp in the room.

There wasn’t even space to put his feet down inside the door, so Chen Huan could only follow Cui Cui and squeeze into the bed closest to the wooden door.

The bed was the kind of bed that went up and down. It was more than a meter wide and one person slept on it. The one who greeted Chen Huan and Cui Cui to sit down was the one who opened the door and let them in, the person who made the bed closest to the door.

Chen Huan sat down on the bed being pulled by Cui Cui, and a girl immediately crawled over from the other bed. Chen Huan swept a glance at it, her face was pitch black, her hair was messy, and she looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old.

“Hurry and take it, give these things to everyone, and tell everyone that it’s Sister Cui Cui’s little bit of kindness!” Seeing the girl coming closer, the girl who opened the door immediately threw the thing Chen Huan gave her to the girl.

The girl seemed to have sensed Chen Huan’s gaze and smiled at her, revealing her dazzling white teeth. Chen Huan immediately thought back to what she had seen on TV, the appearances of those African refugees. The girl was probably not much better than those people, but her teeth were really white.

“What? What thoughts do you have?” Chen Huan’s silence caused Cui Cui to poke her under the armpits with all her might, causing her to hide left and right. As her body moved, wind immediately appeared.

The wind carried the strange smell in the house. Chen Huan subconsciously held her breath, and almost puked out the night milk she had spent a lot of effort to hold in along the way. Looking at the densely packed beds and the people sneaking peeks at them, Chen Huan kept quiet.

“They …” Sensing that all of them were looking at him through the blankets or the light itself, Chen Huan felt that if she did not ask Cui Cui for help, the atmosphere in the room would become eerily quiet.

“Ow, drifter!” Cui Cui blinked her eyes. Under the light of the lamp, Chen Huan looked at it strangely.

Wanderer. Chen Huan recited it several times in her heart, and very few memories about the time of Su Tianxing’s suffering jumped out from her mind. She had lived in the same places as the caves of the commoners. She had lived in the same places as the caves of the commoners.
