Chapter 315

A shop owner who had been battered by years and society.

Naturally, he would not get angry at a Mao Touxiaozi.

He propped both hands on the table, trying to lean a bit closer to Ning Chen.

To ensure his voice could be precisely poured into the other's ears.

Avoiding any excuse like, "I didn't hear clearly," "It's too far," or "I didn't catch that."

"Young man, don't be so cold. Come, tell me, what have you experienced?" The shop owner took out a cigarette and handed it to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen waved his hand to refuse.

The shop owner chuckled, then took out a lighter and lit one for himself.

"Hiss! Hoo!"

A puff of smoke was exhaled from his mouth.

The shop owner said leisurely, "They all call me Da Mao because I used to be a great adventurer. Haha, don't laugh at me; actually, I've always stayed within the country and never went abroad because I don't speak that bird language and was afraid of getting into a fight. Haha!"

"Here, every passerby shares their stories with me, talking about their past experiences and such. Some poor fellows were orphans from childhood, then sold by the orphanage director to northern Myanmar, and only escaped after taking a bullet."

Saying this,

the shop owner took another drag of his cigarette and exhaled the smoke.

It seemed those stories existed within the smoke.

"Some fellows were just luckier; rich since childhood, traveling in luxury cars, waving away RMB with a flick of the hand. If someone disagreed, they'd just slap them in the face with money. If they still disagreed, they'd just keep pulling out cash. There's always a number of slaps that knocks someone out."

"Tsk!" The shop owner stared at the gradually dissipating smoke, somewhat dazed, "I originally thought people were equal, but after seeing so much, I realized this world is truly f***ing unfair! Between people, money can distinguish high and low, noble and base; from birth, people are divided into races!"

Ning Chen, seeing the owner getting more and more excited, suddenly asked, "In front of that beach, there's a girl sunbathing."

"Who is she?" Ning Chen's gaze fixed tightly on the shop owner.

The shop owner took a hard drag of his cigarette, then casually tossed it into the trash can.

"Oh, her!"

The shop owner looked at Ning Chen, smiled, and said nothing.

Ning Chen frowned.

Not understanding what he wanted to do.

Zhang Xiaonian, sitting nearby, suddenly said, "Uncle, since you are the Great Adventure King, you surely speak without holding back and know everything, so just tell us?"

His vanity was satisfied.

The shop owner let out an "Aiya," stretched his body, then said to them, "Alright then, let me tell you her story!"

The shop owner fetched a stool and sat in front of Ning Chen and Zhang Xiaonian.

It seemed only this way could he tell the story with more enthusiasm.

"That girl is Qin Baihui. She arrived here about two months ago. At that time, she was wearing just a short-sleeved shirt! She was so frozen her speech was slurred, and no one could understand what she was saying. Later, Auntie Zhang Da took her home, and it took a few days for her spirits to recover."

The shop owner told the story with extreme vividness, and the more he spoke, the happier he became; the Great Adventure King probably loved sharing stories very much.

"She said she was an islander and wanted to go play on the beach. We were puzzled at the time; in the north, the beach is completely inaccessible in winter. We asked her where she was from, and she again said she was an islander, then just kept laughing, not knowing what she was laughing about."

"Later, she took out a bank card, saying there was money in it. She bought a bunch of things at the store, swiped it, and sure enough, there was money!"

"After that, she just kept living here, not leaving, and every day after eating she'd run to that place to sunbathe. I really don't know what she's thinking; it's only January! What sun can you bathe in?"

Listening to the shop owner tell the story of this strange woman,

Zhang Xiaonian asked curiously, "Didn't you ask her why she did this?"

The shop owner spread his hands and made a surprised expression.

"We did ask. She just said she was an islander, here to play on the beach."

This woman.

So strange.

Even Ning Chen listened with tightly furrowed brows.

Everyone in the live broadcast room also started flooding the screen with comments.

【I guess she must be a woman of the night~】

【Could she be a travel streamer too, just like our Brother Shiguang, checking in at various places? Only that woman wanted to check in at this beach. Unfortunately, it's closed, so she can't get in, which is why she resorted to this desperate measure and has been waiting here.】

【I think what the person above said makes sense. Otherwise, why would she wear a short-sleeved shirt in the dead of winter? To me, it's obvious she just got off the plane! She doesn't understand the weather here.】

【What you all say makes so much sense!】

【Right! She said she's an islander, so I guess she must be from the south, very likely from Haicheng! I've been there! In the dead of winter, the sun still feels hot! She must be from Haicheng!】

213. (2/5) Boss, talking bad about people behind their backs is not right, you know.

At this moment.

The shop owner was still talking endlessly to Ning Chen.

Having finished the background story and such,

he began to tell their speculations about this woman.

As for those speculations, they were Wuhuaba Sect, changing a thousand ways,

making anyone who heard them feel they were quite unreliable.

Saying this.

That this girl is an alien.

Saying that.

This girl was trafficked here.

Ning Chen listened to these words.

And gave the shop owner a meaningful look.

The shop owner continued to talk endlessly.

Zhang Xiao tilted his small head and asked, "Has she always been like that?"

The shop owner nodded and said, "Yes. At first, we guessed with great enthusiasm, but now we hardly make her a topic of conversation; everyone is busy with their own affairs."

At this moment.

A loud yet somewhat sweet voice rang out from the shop entrance.

"Boss, speaking ill of people behind their backs is not right, you know!"

Hearing the voice.

Everyone turned their heads to look at the newcomer.

That person was undoubtedly.

Qin Baihui, who had originally been lying in front of the beach-view entrance.

Basking in the sun.

She lifted one hand to raise her sunglasses while the other held a cup of juice.

A warm smile hung on her face.

Her fiery figure clashed with the winter season.

Her long black hair was tied into a single ponytail by a hair tie.

The freckles on her face moved with her smile, looking extremely cute.

Qin Baihui greeted Ning Chen enthusiastically: "Yo! Handsome guy! Did you come here for tourism?"

Ning Chen watched Qin Baihui approaching him step by step and replied somewhat coldly, "You could say so."

Although Ning Chen currently had no goal or destination.

Yet this journey.

Was no different from tourism.

Coming from Dong Province to this place.

Driving an RV.

With Zhang Xiao and the Husky.

Heading south had taken a very long time.

Qin Baihui looked at Ning Chen, placed the juice on the table, then casually grabbed a stool and sat beside Ning Chen.

She leaned her face close, almost touching him!

Ning Chen looked at this strange and peculiar woman.

He showed no intention of retreating at all.

He simply watched that incredibly beautiful face approach him.
