Chapter 83: Awkward

~4 min read 723 words

Kong Yizhang heard these words and couldn't help but frown: "This is indeed a problem."

In the past, they could have gone directly to the school to ask those professors for help, but now those proficient in foreign languages are likely all sent to the countryside; even if some managed to hide, they turn pale at the mere mention of foreign tongues, so no one would want to get involved in this.

After exchanging a few pleasantries upon getting into the car, Liu Chuxue fell silent. Hearing them discuss translation, she wanted to ask if she could help, but thinking of her original body's education and background, she decided not to invite trouble for herself.

In her previous life, she had truly given her all for work; mastering six foreign languages wasn't enough, she had also learned many domestic dialects, so she rose to a high position at a young age. Who would have thought that listening to her best friend's advice to go try paragliding would send her to these hard times?

Sigh, she couldn't think about it; the more she thought, the more her heart ached.

She didn't know whether her mother, who lived beautifully on her own, would feel sad or happy upon learning she was gone. Saying she would be sad is because she was her only child; saying she would be happy is because with her gone, she would no longer be restricted in her spending.

The assets she left behind should be enough for her mother to retire on, as long as she isn't too extravagant.

Never mind, no more thinking about it. Since she is here, she must make the best of it; she is now Liu Chuxue.

Soon, the car entered the city.

Liu Chuxue spoke up on her own: "Comrade Kong, if it's out of your way, just drop me off ahead, and I'll walk the rest of the way."

She was afraid of delaying their work, but the words sounded a bit like playing the victim.

Just as she was about to make amends, she heard Kong Yizhang say: "It's fine, it won't take long. Coincidentally, I also have something to do at the hospital."

Upon reaching the hospital entrance, Liu Chuxue got out of the car. After all, she had told her mother she was going to the moat today; she couldn't just go up like this. Besides, she had just agreed with Director Zhang yesterday; breaking her word today would not be good.

However, she didn't rush to take the vehicle; instead, she went to the cafeteria: "Director Zhang, here's the situation. I heard people say that the few human-powered tricycles parked in the shed belong to our cafeteria."

Director Zhang immediately guessed her intention and blurted out: "Did you catch a fish?"

Liu Chuxue nodded guiltily: "Yes. Mainly because it's hard to transport, I thought I'd come back to borrow a vehicle. I don't know if that's possible."

Director Zhang glanced into the courtyard: "Technically, it's not allowed; those tricycles are valuable property. However, since you were recommended by the head nurse and are doing this to deliver fish for our cafeteria, I'll lend you the vehicle. You must look after it well; it cannot get lost."

Liu Chuxue quickly promised: "Director, rest assured. Even if I get lost, the tricycle won't be."

Seeing her quirky expression, Director Zhang's face actually showed a smile.

After getting the key, Liu Chuxue went to the vehicle shed.

She had thought that since she could ride a bicycle and a motorcycle, riding a tricycle should be no problem.

But she never expected it would almost make her break down.

It was clearly a straight road, but after she got on, the vehicle refused to obey her control and stubbornly veered to one side.

The entire journey was truly heart-stopping; several times passersby had to help pull the cart back onto the road, making her feel very awkward.

Fortunately, just as she was nearing her destination, she finally mastered the technique.

Although she still wasn't very smooth at it, at least she wouldn't veer off course anymore.

Today she didn't go to the usual spot, since Old Master Xiao and the others often frequented that area. Instead, she found a place rarely visited by anyone and cast her line directly.
