Chapter 176 Li Bing's Past
"This anime character looks familiar... I seem to have heard his name somewhere before."
"You haven't watched the Qiong drama? Or you haven't played that game?"
"No," Chen Yuan shook his head, "but this outfit is pretty."
"Then you must find a chance to go and see it. Qiong is the dream of thousands of men..."
When saying this, Wei Zhen inexplicably had a subtle smile on his face and blinked at Chen Yuan.
But Chen Yuan didn't understand what it meant.
He turned his head and took another look at the girl who was playing games with the guests. She was sitting quietly in a white dress, and only her back could be seen. Although her figure was so plain, in his eyes it was like a burning fire that could not be ignored.
Chen Yuan suddenly became very interested in this animation series and silently wrote down the name that Wei Zhen mentioned.
The two of them played games together, drank iced drinks, controlled Mario to shuttle back and forth in the sewers, and indulged in this happy atmosphere full of laughter.
……
"It's time, please take your time, sir."
Suddenly, some clear and beautiful voices came into the ears of Chen Yuan, who was taking a break after passing a checkpoint.
He subconsciously turned his head to look.
The girl in the white dress stood up, bowed slightly, and politely said goodbye to the guests.
The shy boy with glasses stood up reluctantly, "It's so fun, but happy times are always so short. I have to go to school in a few days, so I can't come over to play with you anymore."
"It's okay, we can wait until the next holiday."
The girl's voice was flat, and no emotion could be heard from it. I guess there must have been a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
Because the boy's expression was a little dull, his face covered with acne scars quickly turned red, just like a bumpy apple.
It seems that it is really hard to resist the charm of a young girl.
"Okay then, I'll come back tomorrow."
"I won't be in the store tomorrow, but you can come over the day after tomorrow."
"Okay! I'll definitely come!"
The boy nodded excitedly, looking back every few steps as he walked down the escalator to the first floor.
The girl in the white dress picked up the trash can beside her, held the rag in her right hand, and began to clean the bottles and jars on the table. The remaining fruit residues were swept away neatly.
Chen Yuan held his chin and watched her movements.
When she turned around, her fair face came into view.
Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly widened. He was stunned for a moment and pulled Wei Zhen's sleeve hard.
"What's wrong... Hey, I'm looking at my personal achievements!"
"that is not???"
Wei Zhen followed him and looked over. He understood it at a glance and was not surprised at all.
"It is indeed Li Bing from our class. I forgot to tell you that she also works here part-time."
"Did you introduce it?"
"…You guessed so accurately, don't tell the boss, if he finds out he will give me a good beating!"
"You're crazy. You knew Li Bing was the person Yafeng liked, but you still let her work part-time in the maid shop. How would he feel if Yafeng found out?" Chen Yuan couldn't understand Wei Zhen's behavior at all. To put it nicely, this shop was a regular two-dimensional playmate service, but to put it bluntly, it was "profiteering from sex". No wonder the salary for part-time jobs was so high, it was earned by selling sex.
"I didn't want to at first, but Li Bing insisted on coming..."
"what happened?"
"Um...it's actually quite complicated."
Wei Zhen pulled Chen Yuan closer and whispered quietly, "You don't know Li Bing's family situation. It's big news in our county. Her mother is just an ordinary factory worker. She has little education and works very hard... Her father is still in prison."
to be frank.
Chen Yuan has always had a good impression of Li Bing. The most common images of her he saw in class were always this delicate little girl bending over a table to read and study, or going to the library with a few books in her arms.
In the cafeteria, she was often seen carrying a dish without any meat, finding a secluded place to sit down and eat quietly.
But personality is affected by family environment, in fact, the source of everything is Li Bing's father. Her father is the kind of idle low-level youth in a small county town. In the early years, the control of anti-gang and anti-evil was not so strict, and such people in the county town were collectively called "little hooligans".
As a hooligan, Mr. Li is a typical example of a gangster. He has done many sneaky things and has been caught by the police station several times, but they usually just detained him for a few days and then nothing happened.
Li Bing's mother was also deceived into marrying him with sweet words while she was working.
Logically speaking, after marriage, one should focus on the family.
But Li's father was still careless and absent-minded every day. Once he was caught breaking into a house and the owner of the house gathered several cousins to beat him until his mouth was full of blood. Then he was sent to the police station.
After being sentenced, he spent a year and a half in prison.
When he came out, Li Bing was about one year old.
His elderly parents earnestly advised Li's father to turn over a new leaf and go to a construction site or a factory to earn some money so that he could live a good life with his wife and children. After being disciplined by the state, he may have realized something and this time he really settled down to work.
However, the good days did not last for a few years.
Those bad friends from the past were still entangled with him. When Li Bing was in elementary school, Li's father was asked by his friends to go drinking. There were too many fights at night at barbecue stalls in the north at that time. Because of a stupid friend, he had a conflict with others. Li's father was drunk, but he went to help out of consideration for his friend's relationship.
Someone died among this gang.
Although it was not known whether he was the one who did it, the police arrested all the people except him who had gone to another place under an assumed name to avoid arrest. Upon learning that he had fled for fear of crime, all his friends unanimously pointed out that only Li Bing's father had brought a switchblade that day.
After hiding like this for nearly ten years, the bastards who were sentenced in the past have all finished their sentences.
He thought he had escaped and returned home covered in dust, intending to continue living a peaceful life. However, he was caught in the corridor by a plainclothes police officer disguised as a maintenance worker.
Absconding for many years is an aggravated crime.
Li Bing had never enjoyed much love from her father, and the brief companionship made her understand a crueler truth.
So she became sensible early on.
Truth will come to light sooner or later. It is conceivable that Li Bing, who originally had a dull personality, must have endured a lot of exclusion when he was a child. When he grew up, the news of his father's arrest spread to most of the county and was even reported in the newspapers. The bullying and contempt from others were like a vast ocean.
The only thing she could do was to study hard and work part-time to earn money for her studies.
Since we cannot change our origins, we can only pursue the future we dream of.
After listening to Wei Zhen's words, Chen Yuangan was silent for a while.
He looked at Li Bing, who was only lightly made up. This girl was actually really pretty, with fair skin and beautiful looks. She had a white moonlight vibe about her, and her facial features were small and delicate. After she put on this beautiful dress, she looked like a spoiled princess.
She was completely different from the girl she usually wore in sneakers and old shirts.
