Chp19. part2

“What’s wrong?” Zhu Lin asked, confused.

“I have a bad feeling about this,” Yun Xin said.

However, since the pale gray mist only indicated a minor injury and wasn’t life-threatening, she decided not to stop him if she couldn’t.

Zhu Lin became interested. “Do you have a sixth sense?”

“Mm,” Yun Xin nodded. “It doesn’t happen often, but every time I sense something, it’s pretty accurate.”

“Wow—” Zhu Lin had just let out an exclamation when she realized something was wrong. “Why did your sixth sense try to stop him from going out?”

Yun Xin shrugged.

Zhu Lin, “…Could it be that I talked too much and caused him trouble?”

When Zhou Rui arrived, the supermarket was indeed discarding goods, and a large crowd had gathered around to pick through them.

Seeing this, he joined in directly.

Zhou Rui chose a quiet spot and started picking out food in good condition.

“Hey kid, this is our turf. Leave the stuff and go somewhere else.” Three thugs with a rowdy air surrounded him, radiating hostility.

“There’s so much stuff, why focus on what’s in someone else’s bowl?” Zhou Rui didn’t want any trouble and intended to take the food he had just picked and leave.

Unexpectedly, they wouldn’t let him go. “Didn’t I tell you? You can leave, but the stuff stays.”

Zhou Rui replied with two words: “I won’t.”

The thugs likely felt their pride was wounded and couldn’t save face. The leader gave a signal, and his two underlings immediately rushed at Zhou Rui.

Zhou Rui considered himself a good fighter and wasn’t afraid, so he didn’t back down verbally. Who knew the opponents would be so fast and their punches so heavy? He dodged one, but ended up getting punched in the face by the other.

Zhou Rui fell to the ground instantly.

“Stinking brat, you have no skills but still dare to be arrogant.” The thugs laughed triumphantly.

Just then, the person in charge of the supermarket ran over and shouted, “Stop fighting, stop fighting!”

After stopping the fight, he turned around and roared, “Stop picking them up, too! These are spoiled foods; they can’t be eaten!”

Everyone was stunned.

Someone asked, puzzled, “Isn’t it just a little stale?”

“Huh? I heard it just passed its expiration date.”

“I knew they threw the food away because of a power outage that lasted a few hours, but they didn’t say it was rotten…”

“The stuff is rotten! If you eat it, you’ll end up in the hospital. Stop picking it up!” the supermarket manager emphasized again.

“Damn it, what the hell? We’ve been making all this fuss and it’s not even edible!” The thugs were speechless; they dropped the items and left.

Zhou Rui was even more speechless.

The beating he had taken made absolutely no sense.

Most importantly, it was his own fault… if he hadn’t come, nothing would have happened.

Zhou Rui wiped the corner of his mouth, climbed up, and walked back, step by step.

Meanwhile, Zhu Lin was feeling uneasy, but still tried to act tough. She said to Yun Xin, “Could it be that your sixth sense just happened to be wrong this time?”

Yun Xin didn’t say anything, just looked at her.

Zhu Lin’s face fell. “Is there really no possibility of a mistake?”

Yun Xin refused to explain.

Zhu Lin paced back and forth in the shop, glancing outside from time to time.

Just then, Zhou Rui walked in, his face battered and bruised.

Zhu Lin froze, her conscience suffering a faint twinge of guilt.

“How did you get like this?” Yun Xin asked.

“Don’t get me started.” Zhou Rui looked miserable as he recounted what had happened.

Hearing that the supermarket was throwing away spoiled food that couldn’t be eaten, Zhu Lin felt a little guilty, but she still said disparagingly, “It’s so hot, why go pick up stuff for no reason? And then get into a conflict with people.”

Zhou Rui gave a self-deprecating smile, “To save money, of course.”

He brought up the rent increase for electricity in his apartment. “My salary is already low, and I have to send a portion home every month. In this hot weather, I can’t turn on the air conditioner. If they hike up the electricity prices, I won’t have any money for food.”

“Speaking of which,” Yun Xin took out her phone, “a water treatment plant in the city has had some problems, and the water supply in some areas may become an issue. Is your apartment complex on this list?”

Zhou Rui took one look and froze, “…It is included.”

What kind of earth-shattering bad news was this!

Forget not being able to turn on the air conditioner, could he not even take a shower now?

Zhou Rui tried to remain calm, “Does it mean no water comes out when you turn on the tap?”

“No,” Yun Xin said with a sympathetic tone, “it means dirty, untreated water flows out. People online are already complaining about it.”

Zhou Rui lost his composure.

Exhausted, weary, just let it all end!
