In midsummer, Tianjing City, even at dusk, is like a huge steamer, with heat waves rolling everywhere.
Walking on the main road of Xueyuan Road, Ye Bai felt his mouth was dry and he was cursing secretly in his heart.
He scolded the weather, scolded the air in the city for being too stale, scolded the city for not having ponds and springs, scolded the old beggar for not preparing enough expenses for himself...
There were too many things to curse. He walked from the train station to Xueyuan Road and cursed all the way.
Right now, Ye Bai didn't even have a steel coin in his pocket, let alone paper tickets. When he was going down the mountain, he realized that he only had enough money to buy a train ticket, not even a cent more.
"A penniless old beggar!"
Ye Bai continued to curse while walking to the other end of Xueyuan Road.
There were a lot of pedestrians on the road, but they all seemed to be in a hurry. In this kind of weather, staying outside for even one second would be torture.
However, any pedestrian who passes by Ye Bai or sees Ye Bai from a distance will frown and take a look, because compared to these city dwellers, his appearance is hard to describe as "dregs of dirt".
The upper body only had a sleeveless white vest, which was stained and had several very eye-catching holes.
Looking at Ye Bai's lower body, he can see a pair of large, wrinkled breeches.
What's more important is that Ye Bai is always looking around, with a curious expression on his face.
Migrant workers! They are definitely migrant workers, and they come from the mountains and valleys...the kind who enter the city for the first time!
This is the first impression passers-by have of Ye Bai, but after taking a look at it, everyone can't help but immediately turn back and take another look, because they are surprised by Ye Bai's appearance.
Ye Bai's skin is fair and tender, perhaps due to being exposed to the scorching sun, but it is now rosy. In addition, he has a slightly thin but well-proportioned figure, as well as straight eyebrows like swords, and eyes like scimitars.
, his ear-length black hair makes him obviously different from the migrant worker brothers in everyone’s impression.
Most of the migrant worker brothers are strong and strong, and their skin cannot be as white and tender as Ye Bai.
"Handsome guy, do you want to stay?"
Suddenly, a plump middle-aged woman stood in front of Ye Bai with an attentive look on her face.
The middle-aged woman wore heavy makeup, but unfortunately, the sweat made several eye-catching marks on the foundation on her face.
"Sister, are you talking to me?" Ye Bai asked.
"Yes." The middle-aged woman nodded.
"Hey, eldest sister really has a good eye and can actually tell that I am a handsome guy!" Ye Bai looked happy, as if I was indeed a handsome guy.
"Want to stay?" The middle-aged woman pointed to the setting sun, "It's going to get dark soon."
"Is there any water to drink?" Ye Bai asked.
"Of course, mineral water, Wong Lo Kat, black tea, green tea, Pulse, Coke, whatever you want is available."
The middle-aged woman answered while pulling Ye Bai into an alley nearby.
Ye Bai was extremely thirsty. When he heard that there was water to drink, he naturally did not resist, but he still asked calmly: "Does it cost money to drink water?"
"You can give it to me for free." The middle-aged woman sighed inwardly. It seemed that she couldn't get much profit from this kid.
Ye Bai felt more relaxed now.
After walking about twenty meters, the middle-aged woman stopped. In front of her was a glass door, and beside the door was a vertical signboard with the words "Shu Xinge Hotel" written on it.
"Come in quickly, it's too hot outside."
The middle-aged woman diligently opened the glass door, stood inside and waved to Ye Bai: "There is air conditioning inside."
"air conditioner?"
Ye Bai entered a small lobby with some curiosity. He was instantly surrounded by a cool air. He couldn't help but praise: "It's so cool!"
"Do you want a standard room or a suite?" The middle-aged woman secretly despised her, but she still had a smile on her face.
"Can you drink some water first?" Ye Bai replied while looking at the glass fish tank in the lobby. He was very interested in the beautiful fish in the fish tank.
The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes behind Ye Bai, and then used the cheap disposable paper cup to bring Xing Nan a glass of water.
This water naturally comes from the pure water from the water dispenser in the lobby.
"Thank you."
Ye Bai took the water glass and drank it all in one gulp, but still asked: "Can I have another glass?"
The middle-aged woman brought another glass of pure water, and Ye Bai drank it all in one gulp.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Ye Bai thanked him repeatedly and walked out the door.
Whoosh!
A middle-aged woman rushed over quickly, blocked the glass door, and asked, "Don't you want to stay?"
"No, I'm just here to ask for a glass of water." Ye Bai grinned, showing some white teeth.
"Didn't we agree just now? Why can't you stop again?" The middle-aged woman frowned angrily, "Are you kidding me?"
"No, no, sister, don't get me wrong, I'm just thirsty." Ye Bai quickly explained.
"Huh!" The middle-aged woman's face darkened. It was not easy for her to stand outside to attract customers on a hot day. "It's okay if you don't stay. Just pay for the water."
"What?" Ye Bai frowned, "Didn't you just say that drinking water is free?"
"Tap water is free. What you drank just now is purified water. One cup costs five yuan, two cups costs ten yuan." The middle-aged woman pinched her waist with one hand and stretched her other hand to Ye Bai's chest.
"I told you that purified water costs money, so I wouldn't drink it." Ye Bai said helplessly, "I don't have any money."
"Don't even think about going out like this without giving me money!" the middle-aged woman said angrily.
"Sister Mei, why are you so angry?"
At this moment, a bald man walked in from the door with a young girl on his arm, followed by two men wearing sunglasses.
The two men wearing sunglasses were wearing flowered coats and had dark blue tattoos on their exposed arms.
On the other hand, the young girl was wearing a pure white knee-length skirt, with long hair like a waterfall, and her face was clean and white without makeup, giving people a very pure feeling. "This is the boy, he dares to play tricks on me.
, I just agreed to stay in a hotel, but after entering the hotel, I drank two glasses of water and left without even paying for the water. I'm obviously here to cause trouble."
The middle-aged woman pointed at Ye Bai, as if she was accusing him of a crime.
"Boy, Brother Bao is happy today. Pay the money quickly and you can still go out through this door." The bald man walked up to Ye Bai and tapped Ye Bai's chest.
The bald man who calls himself "Brother Leopard" is half a head taller than Ye Bai. He stands in front of the slightly thinner Ye Bai, with a sense of superiority and momentum.
Brother Bao even felt that he could crush the bumpkin in front of him to death with just a move of his fingers.
"I really have no money." Ye Bai said frankly.
As for being tapped on the chest, Ye Bai didn't care. After all, he did drink the water.
“If you don’t eat the toast, you’ll be fined with alcohol!”
Brother Bao was angry, and the consequences were serious. He waved behind him and said: "Big Donkey, you are blessed today. This boy is white and tender. He must be still a baby. His assholes will definitely make you older."
Two solutions will satisfy your craving!”
After saying that, Brother Bao pulled the young girl towards the stairs and squeezed the girl's back with one hand.
"Boy, let's go up and talk about life. Don't worry, I will be very gentle."
A man with a beard on his chin took off his sunglasses, looked at Ye Bai with an ambiguous expression, and held one of Ye Bai's arms.
