chapter 7

Fu Xueqing ran to the corner and saw Zhuo Yichen waiting for her to go home together. Zhuo Yichen brought her all the embarrassment and shame just now. She couldn’t help crying loudly at Zhuo Yichen: “What the hell do you want? Why did you hit Zhuo Feng? It’s my business who I confess to. What’s it to you? You’ve gone too far!”

Zhuo Yichen came forward to help her wipe her tears, but she pushed him away and immediately burst into flames. “It’s nothing to do with me? Ask yourself how I treat you. You really don’t know? You cried like this for that boy, and you came to accuse me? Do you want me to apologize to him?”

“Of course, you want to apologize to him! You beat him like that and tried to kill his dog. You are cruel! I can’t believe you’re the Zhuo Yichen I know. You’re like the devil!” Fu Xueqing shook her head and retreated as if she really saw the devil.

Zhuo Yichen’s expression distorted with anger, “Devil? We have been together for 18 years, because of Zhuo Feng, I became a devil in your eyes? Good! Since you say I am the devil, I will show you the devil!”

Zhuo Yichen walked forward quickly, and Fu Xueqing reacted and hurried after him, shouting angrily behind him, “What are you doing? You are not allowed to go and trouble Zhuo Feng anymore, otherwise, I will ignore you for the rest of my life!”

Zhuo Yichen looked back at her in disbelief. “What’s so good about that poor boy? He’s an orphan. He’s got nothing to offer you but good studies, and you’re going to break up with me for him? Was our 18 years together a lie? You don’t feel anything for me?”

Fu Xueqing bit her lip, her face flashed with entanglement, but she thought that she had brought Zhuo Feng trouble because Zhuo Yichen was unreasonable. She immediately hardened her heart and denied, “No! Not at all! I just treat you as my brother!”

Zhuo Yichen smiled angrily, “Good! What a brother! Then if you have someone you like, it’s only natural for your brother to give him a lesson! I will see how far the poor boy can persist and do for you. If he is not worthy of your trust, I will never let him go!”

Zhuo Yichen left after speaking, but Fu Xueqing couldn’t catch up to him, so she stopped in panic. Oh no, Zhuo Feng just told her to stay away from him, but she seems to be giving him trouble again. She didn’t mean it, really didn’t. She didn’t want to hurt anyone from beginning to end. Why did everyone blame her? It was obviously Zhuo Yichen who was overbearing and unreasonable, taking a ‘Truth or Dare’ game as real, what does it have to do with her?

After struggling for a long time, Fu Xueqing didn’t chase him anymore. She called the driver to come and pick her up and went home. She was also very hurt now. She wanted to go home and be alone. She didn’t want to see anyone. As for Zhuo Feng, she wanted to wait and find an opportunity to make up for it later.

When Zhuo Feng arrived at the hotel where he worked, the manager saw the injury on his face and showed a troubled look. “Zhuo Feng, you know that the waiter represents the façade of the hotel to a certain extent, and the bruises on your face are too obvious. Just take a rest a few days and come back after the injury has healed.”

Zhuo Feng pursed his lips and said, “I know that I can work here because Manager takes care of me, but I really need this job. Why don’t you see if there’s any back-of-venue work for me, Manager? I’m fine with helping in the back kitchen with washing and chopping vegetables.”

Zhuo Feng was usually the most diligent and has the best performance. The manager remembers how sincere the young man was when he first came to the hotel to apply for a job, otherwise, he would not make an exception and accept an hourly worker. At this time, after listening to Zhuo Feng’s words, he pondered and wondered whether there was any job suitable for Zhuo Feng.

Right when Zhuo Yichen came in, took out the distinguished VIP gold card from his wallet, and put it on the manager’s desk. He squinted at Zhuo Feng and sneered, “Manager, you use such low-quality employees. Makes me wonder about the style of the hotel.”

“Oh? Young Master Zhuo knows Zhuo Feng?” The manager hesitated between the two and was surprised to find that they were somewhat similar in appearance.

Zhuo Feng frowned as soon as Zhuo Yichen appeared. This was related to living expenses, so he immediately said: “I have explained all the misunderstandings clearly, and I have no plan to pursue your rude offense. Don’t go too far!”

“Too far? You made Xueqing have a big quarrel with me, and you want to force me to apologize. Are you very proud of yourself? Do you think I can’t see your scheming thoughts? It’s nothing more than wanting to be a gigolo but trying to act noble. You’re using her to get yourself on the moral high ground by hanging on to Xueqing! Wouldn’t it be easy for you to ask for pocket money when you cling to Xueqing? Why are you pretending to be poor? Trying to get sympathy from Xueqing? I’ll tell you what, wherever you work, if you go to work, I’ll call in a complaint against you and we’ll see how long you can last!” Zhuo Yichen’s eyes were in a blaze. He didn’t believe that everything was a misunderstanding. If it was a misunderstanding, how could Xueqing explain nothing and still distance herself from him?

(TNote: bruh… do you own a mirror?… look at yourself.)

Although the manager didn’t know what grievances they have, it’s impossible for the hotel to hire someone who was complained about, and it’s unwise to offend VIP members for an hourly worker. Therefor he tactfully expressed that he could no longer employ Zhuo Feng, with a hint of regret in his words.

The little white fox heard their conversation across a wall and became anxious. At this time, the system posted the task, [Help Zhuo Feng get out of trouble and avoid losing his income. Reward: After the task is completed, a lucky charm will be awarded; Punishment: After the mission fails, the host will be unlucky for three days. The host is asked to complete the mission within 7 days, or Zhuo Feng would have no money for food.]

The little white fox said angrily: [You don’t have to say it, I will help him! That Zhuo Yichen is simply too shameless!]

Zhuo Feng didn’t say anything, nodded and left the hotel. Zhuo Yichen followed after him, and immediately mocked when they got outside: “Look, what ability do you have to fight me when all your hard work can be wasted with one word from me?”

“Since you look down on me, why bother to target me?” Zhuo Feng turned around and looked at his eyes with disdain for the first time. “Are you jealous? Jealous that the girl you like actually confessed to me, jealous that you are obviously superior to me, an orphan. You are unwilling, and want to prove to her how good you are and how capable you are, and you can run me over with one finger. But what does your relationship have to do with me? I didn’t know her or you. We’re not in the same class. You two suddenly broke into my life, as if you were innocent and wronged. By what right!?”

He took two steps forward and said to Zhuo Yichen, “Next time, I will call the police. Even if you are the son of a wealthy businessman, you can’t do whatever you want.”

“Zhuo Feng! You…”

The little white fox suddenly jumped out of the corner, jumped on Zhuo Yichen’s face and pressed him to the ground! The tips of her sharp claw hung over Zhuo Yichen, close to his eyes, as if he could be poked blind any moment. Zhuo Yichen’s anger turned into fear at this moment. The fear seeped from his bones, which made his hair stand on end and his scalp numb. He couldn’t utter a word.

Zhuo Feng was taken aback, and hurriedly picked up the little white fox. He looked at Zhuo Yichen’s eyes and let out a sigh of relief, then turned and strode away. The little white fox had just seen Zhuo Feng being bullied with her own eyes. She struggled to go back, but was held tightly by Zhuo Feng. He whispered, “Don’t make trouble! You will be taken away if you hurt someone. Not the kind that gets caught and abused by bad guys, but the government that specializes in dog catching, then no one can save you!”

Government catches dogs? The little white fox quieted down, climbed to Zhuo Feng’s shoulder, wrapped his neck with her fluffy tail, and gently rubbed his cheek for comfort. There were too many people in the hotel, and monitoring was everywhere. However, Zhuo Yichen’s status advantage could screw up Zhuo Feng’s job sooner or later. Just now, she was unable to help, so she directly used force after Zhuo Feng came out.

The demon race values strength. Although she often wins by wit, but being new to the human world and not knowing the rules of the world here, it still brought her great limitations. Now that Zhuo Feng has lost his job, she thought she needed to understand the human rules as soon as possible to help Zhuo Feng find a job.

Zhuo Feng felt the little fellow’s concern, smiled softly, rubbed her little head and said, “Did you just help me out? Why are you here? You’re not following me all the time, are you? Originally, I wanted to bring you something to eat. Now that you are here, let’s go to eat at a stall. I’ll buy you some roast chicken when I have more money.”

The little white fox nodded and ate from the humble roadside stand with him, not disliking it at all, and pushed whatever she found tasty in front of him so he could eat more.

Zhuo Feng was very annoyed. He paid his tuition this semester, but his living expenses were very tight, and he had just rejected the Headmistress. If he doesn’t find a way to make some money, he and Xiaobai would have to scrimp and save. Thinking of Xiaobai taking out that delicious roast chicken to share with him, he became disgusted with Zhuo Yichen.

But seeing the scene where the little white fox stood up for him, although he was terrified, a warmth silently spread deep in his heart, warming his entire soul. In the past 18 years, no one has ever cared so much about him, let alone stood up for him, and he never even saw the sincerity in the most basic care from people. He didn’t expect the warmth and kindness for the first time in his life was brought to him by a puppy.

With the care of the little guy, the anger in his heart has long dissipated, and his dislike for Zhuo Yichen and Fu Xueqing became insignificant.

There were such people in the world, who were self-righteous and never listen to other people’s explanations. Because of their lawlessness, they don’t care about other people’s feelings, and they do everything according to their heart, causing a lot of trouble for others. He has seen from a number of incidents, Zhuo Yichen and Fu Xueqing, those childhood sweethearts, were a perfect match. One is stupid and mindless but has strong self-esteem, the other is overbearing, unreasonable and extremely prideful, but they were both self-righteous and completely self-centered.

Just stay away from them and no longer be involved with any of them, and this will naturally go away. Not experiencing the hatred from the abuse and killing of stray dogs, Zhuo Feng was at ease. He has more important things to do, such as taking the college entrance examination, working, moving out of the orphanage and feeding the little one. He really had no time to play games with the young master and miss. Instead of being entangled with them, it’s better to focus on business, and when he gets into college, everyone will naturally be in separate places.

After eating, Zhuo Feng took the little white fox to play in the park for a while. Knowing that the little white fox knew the way, he was not restrained. He repeatedly told her to go back to the dormitory early and then went to school.

The little white fox saw Zhuo Feng go to school without anger and worry, and her worried heart was relieved. This time, instead of attending classes, she shuttled through various places in the city under the guidance of 001, and carefully understood the rules of survival in this world. This is not a place where strength is everything, but where power and riches are valued; where there are many injustices, but constrained by the laws of the country and public opinion; where there is no magical cultivation, but there’s an endless amount of advanced technology…

The world, which was quite different from Qingqiu Mountain, has opened a new door for the little white fox. She thinks she knows how to deal with them now. In this world, it was necessary to make use of the rules of this world. Only by understanding the rules can she manipulate around the rules and punish those wrongdoers. If Zhuo Yichen wanted to drive Zhuo Feng out of school or even the orphanage, she will make Zhuo Yichen suffer a big loss first!

The grievances suffered by Zhuo Feng, she would return it bit by bit!
