The Way To Escape the Scum - Chapter 8

    At four o’clock in the morning, the sky broke, and a faint light gradually rose in the dark night.

    Ayu’s suspender pajamas are already wrinkled, and there are traces of torn at the skirt. She looked indifferent, dragged her footsteps, and slammed the door down.

    “Every one knows how to sleep, and I don’t know how to bring new people to the family!”

    She raised her head and sneered.

    Ayu played with her prestige, and slowly exhaled a turbid breath, finally feeling better. She pushed open the door of the right bedroom, and saw Applejack squatting in the corner of the lower bunk with her knees tucked, she was dumbfounded and didn’t know what she was thinking.

    “Come back? How is Ling Xiao?” A Yu asked with a frown.

    Ajie looked at the partner in front of him, and responded in a trance, without speaking.

    “Jay? Did something just happen?”

    “Um… no, nothing.”

    Ajie looked at Ayu, moved his lips, but said nothing.

    …

    An hour ago.

    He personally witnessed a conflict between siblings and was bumped into by Ling Yun, so he had to go in ahead of time. Originally, a veteran like him was going to make the final appearance, but it was not much different anyway.

    Ling Xiao was still crying when she entered. She looks pretty good, and she also has a bit of pear blossom and rain. Applejack then had a little more patience, sat down carelessly, and prepared a full set of sugar and whip to serve.

    Of course, you can add more sugar at this time.

    He was educated happily, and the other party listened actively and earnestly. I thought this was going to end the conversation, who would have thought that the last-

    “Brother Jie, I think you’re absolutely right!”

    Ling Xiao’s eyes were full of admiration, and then she asked suspiciously, “But why did I hear from the family members who came over just now that Sister Ayu will be the team leader soon, you are obviously better than her …”

    She seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and quickly covered her mouth: “I’m sorry, I said something I shouldn’t have said, I’m sorry.”

    Ajie looked stiff: “It’s okay.”

    Ling Xiao saw that he was not angry, and continued to whisper: “Actually, I think Brother Jie is more suitable to be the team leader.” Me, now you are the only one who comforts and educates me so gently, aren’t you two partners? Why is there only Sister Ayu…”

    “Haha, that’s not the case.” Ajie twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.

    Yes, why is she?

    Is it a behavior that everyone can’t believe?

    Ajay was drowsy and tired, and at this time his mind was even more irritated. But the whispered complaint in the ear was like a curse, word by word penetrated into the ear, clearly revolving in the bottom of my heart.

    “If I go out tomorrow morning, I have to subscribe anyway, so I might as well let Brother Ajie come, then I must be completely convinced!”

    Ling Xiao’s eyes are full of trust and sincerity.

    Ajie heard a semi-veiled promise in a trance.

    Tomorrow, subscribe.

    She didn’t say how many copies she wanted to purchase. But no one knows, in fact, I just overheard it myself. Not only the share of the money that Ling Xiao borrowed, but also the extra share that Ling Yun planned to lend her, which Ayu didn’t even know about.

    Two siblings, two big fish, do you really want to watch it slip away from your hands?

    You know, how much effort it takes to get a new person! He needs to lure new people in various ways, he needs to endure his temper and persuade them repeatedly, and he needs to make them willing to pay and continue to develop new people.

    You can’t always be under Ayu’s hands like this, listening to her orders.

    He is also a millionaire!

    “Brother Jie, I feel like I’m out of breath.” At this moment, Ling Xiao said weakly, “Will I not wait for the subscription tomorrow and die here—”

    “Say what.”

    Ajie made up his mind and showed a kind smile.

     “Brother Jie, help you. Don’t worry, you’ll be out as soon as the morning class arrives.”

    …

    “Ajie? Are you really all right?” Ayu waved his hand, making him quickly return to his senses.

    “It’s okay, just sleepy.”

    Ajie took a deep breath, showing her usual good partner appearance, and said with a smile: “With our set of words, how can she be a little girl? You are just worried. Too much.”

    He thought about it for a while, then pretended to hesitate: “Or… let her out quickly. When the course director comes to the class, it won’t be good if many people know about it. I tried, she She has a good attitude and really wants to stay here. And I see that she has also suffered from heat stroke and is in poor health.”

    “If the previous incident happened again, it would be difficult to explain to anyone, especially I heard that President Zhi will come to investigate tomorrow—”

    Ayu’s face sank instantly.

    “Okay.” After a long time, she slowly compromised.

    “Now that this is over, let her out. Who’s in there?”

    Ajie thought about it, and then answered indifferently:

    “Hi, it’s that old man.”

    “Oh yes, old Cheng.”

    ————

    “Daughter girl, our family is completely equal here. You can just call me Lao Cheng.”

    The old man in front of him spoke Mandarin with a strong local accent and squeezed out a cowardly smile. The gray hair and the wrinkled old look made him not at all aggressive.

    “I don’t have his data here, and I don’t know how much his family cares. It’s miserable enough to be deceived into a pyramid selling organization at such a young age.” The system sighed.

    Ling Xiao: Little fool.

    She smiled sweetly: “Grandpa Cheng.”

    Old Cheng let out an “Ai” and asked lovingly: “Why steal a mobile phone in the middle of the night? This is absolutely forbidden. When you pass the assessment and want to find new family members to promote our project, you will I’ll give you my phone back to play games.”

    Ling Xiao smiled and said nothing.

    Old Cheng continued to mutter to himself: “We are a national sunshine project, a chain operation, there is support in the dark, it is really good to be able to catch up with the new era…”

    System: “Ah, when he was in class for the first time, he was the old man who wiped away his tears and took notes and studied very seriously! He has no sense of existence, I almost forgot about this person. !”

    After Lao Cheng talked about the contents of a bunch of projects, his face was full of laughter, but his voice suddenly became a little ethereal.

    “Otherwise, you don’t know what’s good or bad.”

    The system was very angry: “When this old man was brainwashed, throw away his brains!”

    Ling Xiao listened carefully and smiled: “I know you are doing it for my good, thank you.”

    Lao Cheng looked at her for a long time before looking around and said in a low voice: “Girl, tell the truth, do you really want to join this big family?”

    “Or… do you think this is a pyramid scheme,” he said word by word, with scrutiny and suspicion in his eyes, “Want to find a chance to escape alone?”

    “Who knows. What do you think I think?”

    Ling Xiao’s attitude is calm and his eyes are curved back.

    For a long time, until the air became almost stagnant, and you could even hear the sound of sweat falling to the ground.

    Old Cheng laughed: “How can the old man guess the minds of your young people? However, tomorrow I heard that the president of Haicheng will come to inspect, we must study hard and perform well.”

    “Then I’ll go first, you have a good rest, let’s exchange ideas if you have any.”

    He got up with a gesture, Ling Xiaokong stretched out his hand to block, and spoke leisurely.

    “Please wait.”

    “What’s the matter, doll?”

    Ling Xiao tucked his hands and knees, changing the weakness and naivety he had when facing Applejack, and his attitude could even be called serious.

    Invisibly in the narrow room exudes bursts of coercion, making people feel urgency and fear.

    Old Cheng keenly noticed the change in the aura, frowned, and his back straightened unconsciously.

    Ling Xiao said, “I do have a few questions for you.”

    “First of all, you are the chess piece placed by the discipline director to monitor Ayu? You mentioned the escape just now, did you deliberately test me?”

    She chatted casually, asking an unrelated question.

    “Second, I talked to everyone before, and they kindly provided me with some information… Is the person who died here before the former team leader?”

    Old Cheng raised his head suddenly!

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    This is by no means an old process that has no sense of existence and silently participates.

    Ling Xiao restrained his last smile, stood up slowly, and looked at him equally.

    “The last question, what is your relationship with the person who died?”

    How would she know!

    What she knows and what she wants to do!

    Who is she?

    Ling Xiao saw extreme shock, even a trace of panic, from those turbid eyes. But as she got closer, she saw the hidden feelings again.

    It was a sober pain and persistence she was very familiar with.

    That is what she has seen and experienced in countless worlds and countless lives.

    A real, ordinary life that has been destroyed by scum.

    Ling Xiao sighed inaudibly and leaned closer to his ear.

    “Make a deal with me, please?”

    The chirping of birds cut through the silence of the night sky through the old wall.

    The house was still dimly lit, but outside was the last darkness before dawn.

    Morning is approaching.

    Old Cheng was silent for a long time.

    “What is your purpose?”

    Ling Xiao thought about it carefully and laughed.

    “Purpose?”

    “Probably, I’m in a hurry to go back and study for the college entrance examination.”
