Chapter 46: More money is needed!
“Have you been living around here?”
“Occasionally you go to other places, wherever you can get money.”
“Oh? With you I want to ask something, are there a lot of people smoking in the Southeast District recently?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xi deliberately made some obscure actions.
"Marijuana or hookah?"
The homeless man pondered for a few seconds before slowly speaking. These two items are legal in Tu'ao. However, the control of the first item is stricter and can only be used. For medical purposes, smuggling is illegal.
The second item is more common and can be purchased in smoke shops, but the content of ingredients may be different.
“That’s not what I mean, it’s the stronger one.”
“……”
"Forget it if you don't know."
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Chen Xi waved his hand and was about to leave.
“Cough, cough~”
At this time, the expression on the homeless man’s face suddenly changed, and then he coughed twice.
“I know I know, but I have to pay more!”
"Okay."
When a yellow fifty-dollar bill was displayed in front of his eyes, the homeless man's eyes shone again.
His smile is like a blooming chrysanthemum, filled with endless joy and excitement.
“It seems that there have been more people taking drugs in the southeastern district recently. There used to be more people taking drugs in RingWood, but now it seems they are starting to appear even near Box Hill.”
“Tell me more in detail.” Chen Xi frowned.
"I don't know, I saw other homeless people touching this thing..."
After communicating with the homeless and not getting much useful information, Chen Xi returned to the candy store, where the two women were already showing signs of sleepiness. meaning.
Seeing that Chen Xi had taken so long to come back, Zhang Ruoxi couldn't help but frown slightly, showing some dissatisfaction.
"Go home and sleep quickly, I'm so sleepy."
As soon as Zhang Ruoxi got in the car, she rubbed her eyes and said in a tired tone.
"When you two go out to play in the future, try not to drink drinks from strangers." Chen Xi warned solemnly.
"Why, we are not children, do we still need to talk?" Zhang Ruoxi didn't care.
"What happened?" Shen Xinyi felt something was wrong. She hesitated and asked cautiously.
"It's okay, just pay more attention to yourselves."
It's better not to say this kind of thing. Chen Xi thought about it and didn't explain any more, and drove away. The two women were sent home.
"Where did you go? You came back so late."
He returned home and found that Dongdong and Xiao Ming were still asleep. They were sitting in front of the computer with concentration, immersed in the world of games.
After he entered the door, the two people just asked casually, and then turned their attention back to the computer screen.
"I'm doing a speech with my classmates in the group." Chen Xi said, rubbing his dry eyes.
“Are the people in the team beautiful?”
Dongdong stared at the screen and asked subconsciously.
“She’s beautiful, she’s still a girl from Faguo!” Chen Xi gestured with his hands in front of his chest.
"Okay, you are now engaged in cross-border romance. It is Sakura Country and Fa Country."
He came to the kitchen and lit a cigarette. In order to satisfy the winter Out of curiosity, Dong described the appearance of the girl from Fa Kingdom in detail.
After listening to his description, Dongdong’s eyes lit up and he was full of interest.
"You still have a conscience. You didn't harm your compatriots. Instead, you went to find foreign women."
At this time, Xiao Ming also made fun of him.
"There is no way. In the past, the great powers robbed us of our cultural relics, but now I am just robbing their women."
"Wait, what is a disaster..."
Regarding emotional issues, Chen Xi believes that he has always maintained a serious attitude.
Different from those scumbags who often play with their feelings, he always has a sense of responsibility for every relationship.
Among the girls he had contact with in the past, no girl except Li Yuqing had ever said anything bad about him. Well, those two must be jealous of me.
Thinking of this, the gloom on his brows dissipated and he returned to a relaxed state.
“I’m so angry. Is this person a eunuch?”
At night, Li Yuqing was lying on the bed, thinking about today's events, and felt uncomfortable.
She originally wanted to go to Li Xin's house to discuss the group's tasks, but she was refused by the iceberg-faced person, saying it was inconvenient. As a result, the three of them stayed busy at school until very late.
The broken computer in the school was so slow that it was a torture. This iceberg-faced guy didn’t even bring a laptop.
What age are we in now, and men and women are still allowed to have sex but not kiss each other? I really don’t understand this man.
He is pretty handsome, but why is he even duller than that guy Tian Gou?
"What's wrong with men nowadays? The ones with good conditions are all ignoring me. Can I only attract those rubbish?"
"If it weren't for the fact that that guy is from the architecture department, for this assignment It helps. I have ignored him for a long time. According to the iceberg-faced man, the woman next to Chen Xi is also him. My classmate seems to be named Shen Xinyi. This hateful woman actually seduced the man I like. I must get high marks in this group assignment so that I can prove to Chen Xi that I am the best woman."
The more Li Yuqing thought about it, the angrier she became. She picked up her phone and called her best friend, starting a crazy complaining mode.
Thursday, inside Didi University Library.
“There are other students who also make architectural animations.”
Amy held her chin and looked at Chen Xi's unfinished work on the computer screen worriedly.
"Well, then it seems like we are uncreative. The first one to show off will definitely get a high score."
After hearing this, Shen Xinyi also agreed.
If Amy hadn’t happened to see other teams’ works, they might not have achieved the best results when displayed on stage.
“Then try to integrate the architecture of your country into it.”
Although Chen Xi studied architectural design in high school, it was only at the most basic stage and his understanding of this field was not in-depth.
However, he could not find a better idea at this time.
"You can give it a try. Amy can just be there to guide you." Shen Xinyi smiled.
"Faguo architecture? But I don't understand."
Amy looked at the two of them with a bitter face.
"It's okay, just give me some advice."
Facing Amy's words, Shen Xinyi comforted her softly.
Shen Xinyi has in-depth research on the architecture of various countries.
Integrating the architectural styles of Hua and Fa is not an difficult task.
In the long history, some people have tried such integration, and with just a little reference, they can successfully achieve this goal.
"I have to do it all over again. I have been busy these days..."
Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh and stared at the unfinished semi-finished product on the computer screen.
"You should concentrate, students should behave like students, don't always think about going out to make money."
Shen Xinyi saw through his mind at a glance and glared at him with a dissatisfied look. . Her attitude was that of a parent educating a naughty child.
“I know.”
Chen Xi curled his lips helplessly and could only agree in obedience.
"Haha, are you two a couple?"
Seeing Chen Xi's deflated look, Amy couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
“No way.” Chen Xi shook his head.
"How is that possible?" Shen Xinyi also waved her hand and immediately made a statement.
Although she didn't understand their conversation just now, it was obvious from Chen Xi's expression that he seemed to listen to Shen Xinyi's words.
When Amy's question came out, Chen Xi and Shen Xinyi spoke eagerly at the same time, trying their best to clarify that there was no special relationship between them.
"You'd better speak English, otherwise I won't understand what you are saying, but the way you looked and sounded just now really looked like a couple."
Hearing Amy's words, Both of them felt a little embarrassed and quickly began to change the topic and focus on their studies.
They discussed some academic-related topics with each other to cover up the awkward atmosphere just now.
