Chapter 234 Street Lamp Dinner
"What's wrong."
"nothing."
One asked knowingly, while the other was speechless.
"By the way, I just happened to meet you, so I came to do a favor." Lu Dongjie broke the silence.
"What's going on?" Lin Qingxia slowly raised her head.
"I have a sister who left her bracelet in the bathroom on the third floor. Please help me get it there." Lu Dongjie stopped downstairs in the cafe.
"All three are good sisters?" Lin Qingxia suddenly said mockingly.
"Only one is." Lu Dongjie smiled sarcastically.
"Hmph, wait." Lin Qingxia snorted, turned around and walked inside.
Lu Dongjie knew that Lin Qingxia was also at the concert tonight, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken harshly.
After waiting at the door for a while, Lin Qingxia walked out with a calm face.
"Is this this one?" Lin Qingxia opened her palm and found a beautiful silver bracelet.
"Well, thank you." Lu Dongjie nodded and reached out to take it.
The two people's hands touched lightly, and suddenly there was an inexplicable throbbing.
"I helped you, so how do you thank me?" Lin Qingxia's watery eyes had a hint of teasing smile.
"Shall I treat you to a midnight snack?" Lu Dongjie suggested.
"That's pretty much it." Lin Qingxia's voice turned gentle.
Lu Dongjie took her across two streets and came to a restaurant where ghost stalls gathered.
Although it was 11 o'clock in the evening, there were still many diners, and most of them were grassroots people.
Each stall owner basically has a trolley, a small table and two folding chairs, spread out on the sidewalk, with temporary electric lights, and the environment is very simple.
These temporary food stalls are the same as unlicensed hawkers. They are either made by nearby residents to subsidize their families, or they start hawking temporarily to solve the problem of unemployment.
The Hong Kong government is unwilling to provide more public welfare to protect these people. Therefore, it turns a blind eye and tolerates these poor people to fend for themselves.
"Boss, two bowls of wonton noodles, two bowls of pork wings, one bowl of pork intestines, and several dishes of fried rapeseed." Lu Dongjie shouted to the stall owner.
"Is the food here delicious?" Lin Qingxia looked at the surrounding environment, slightly hesitant.
"It's okay, I'm not clean, I'm not sick after eating it." Lu Dongjie understood what she meant and could only laugh at himself.
"You are quite tolerant." Lin Qingxia rolled her eyes at him and sat down gracefully.
"I'm not a prince or grandson, so how can I be so particular about it?" Lu Dongjie spread his hands.
"You make it sound like I'm some wealthy young lady." Lin Qingxia glared at him angrily.
"Ha, I made a mistake. Let me drink a soda first and apologize." Lu Dongjie handed over an open bottle of Coke.
The atmosphere of this late-night snack was harmonious and pleasant, and the two of them ate with gusto.
"Well, I'm finally full." Lin Qingxia put down the bowl and chopsticks and touched her belly cutely.
"Like a kitten that stole food." Lu Dongjie stretched out his hand to wipe the oil stains from the corners of her mouth.
Lin Qingxia was startled, a trace of panic appeared in her eyes, and she quickly lowered her head shyly.
There was a mysterious charm between the two, and Lu Dongjie secretly cursed himself for being so mean.
"Wait for me here first, I'll buy some pottery cakes." Lu Dongjie pointed to another hawker stall not far away.
"Well, you go ahead." Lin Qingxia sighed softly.
"Damn dog, go away quickly, don't affect my business." The stall owner suddenly shouted and stopped.
Lin Qingxia turned her head and saw a golden retriever dog with hunched shoulders. It looked skinny and had no aura in its eyes.
When the golden retriever heard the stall owner chasing him away, he was frightened and limped into the end of the alley.
Lin Qingxia saw that Lu Dongjie was still laughing and chatting with the stall owner, so she picked up the remaining food on the table, walked towards the alley, and turned back after a while.
"Girl, you can save them for a while, but you won't be able to save them forever." The stall owner smiled at Lin Qingxia and shook his head.
"Hehe, it's me who's meddling in other people's business." Lin Qingxia stuck out her tongue and smiled, not paying attention to the stall owner's reminder.
"Let's go, eat up after dinner and go for a walk." Lu Dongjie happened to come back.
After the two paid the bill, they prepared to turn back along the way they had just come.
"squeak....."
At this time, a minivan suddenly braked, and then a group of tall and fierce men rushed out of the vehicle, holding sticks, ropes, etc., and also moved a large iron cage out of the vehicle.
Before Lin Qingxia could react, these people quickly surrounded the alley with tools, tied the dog's head, dragged it out, and locked it in an iron cage.
"Hmph...ouch..." The dog trapped by them whimpered in pain.
"What are they doing?" Lin Qingxia's eyes widened, frightened and at a loss.
"Don't look, they are the dog hunting team of the Fisheries and Agriculture Department." Lu Dongjie gently held her in his arms, his voice full of pity.
"Why did they do that?" Lin Qingxia couldn't bear to hide in his arms.
"These are stray dogs. The city council is catching them to prevent rabies." Lu Dongjie patted her back gently, as if comforting a crying child.
"Some of them are not stray dogs, maybe they were caught by mistake." Lin Qingxia rested her head on his shoulder.
"The Fisheries and Agriculture Department will help raise it for three days, waiting for the owner to claim it." Lu Dongjie nodded.
"What if no one claims it?" Lin Qingxia had already guessed it, but couldn't help but ask.
"Humanity is destroyed." Lu Dongjie said in a low voice for a long time. This sentence sounded a bit desolate in the evening breeze.
In fact, there are some words that Lu Dongjie did not say. Many of them are not stray dogs. Some of them are old dogs and sick dogs. When they are no longer loved by their owners, they are "exiled" in private cars to secluded places late at night.
The group searched around to make sure there were no other wild dogs, then packed up and drove away.
The people around me have become accustomed to such things, and there is no need to panic. They eat and drink when they should.
Lu Dongjie gently hugged Lin Qingxia in his arms, and his arms gradually tightened, neither of them felt anything strange.
This pair looks like an intimate young couple, with such tender and affectionate love, no one else has any doubts about it.
"Let go, let go." Lin Qingxia pushed him away gently, with a hint of anger and a hint of coquettishness, "You guys took advantage of others' danger and took advantage of me."
"It's late at night. If I take you back, my aunt will be worried about you." Lu Dongjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"No." Lin Qingxia said stubbornly, "I don't want to go back so early."
"Then let's go for a walk together." Lu Dongjie hesitated for a moment and let her have her way.
"Okay." Lin Qingxia turned back and winked at Lu Dongjie, smiling briskly.
"Hey, what do you want to do?" Lu Dongjie was stunned for a moment.
"Come up quickly." Lin Qingxia waved and jumped onto the tram alone.
Lu Dongjie couldn't bear to spoil her mood, so he hurriedly jumped in the car to accompany her.
