Chapter 659: A big change
"Swish... swish... swish..."
The blue seawater stirred up ripples, affectionately licking the golden beach on the shore. On the old and orderly stone-built pier, several scattered ships swayed gently in the dock, and several seagulls plated with gold by the sunlight circled leisurely above the ships, occasionally making a few pleasant light chirps...
The morning of the seaside small city Ankara was still as quiet and beautiful as in the past. What was different was that the pier tavern, which was usually bustling with noise and excitement, had become deserted, and no one had been seen entering or leaving for a long time.
And because of her playful and hot personality, and a figure even hotter than her personality, Agatha, who became the dream lover of the young people in the small city, did not appear in the pier tavern either, but appeared in front of the only post office in Ankara, frowning and flipping through the past newspapers posted at the door.
Work has been a bit hard to find recently...
After flipping through many recruitment sections of the newspaper and failing to find a job suitable for herself, Agatha, who had just become unemployed this morning, could not help but sigh faintly.
After the incident in the tavern yesterday, although she was hugged out by Mr. Joseph and was not injured in the conflict, the three drunken sailors pried open the tavern's cellar while no one was around, drank and dismantled everything inside, even took all the money in the counter, and then fled directly without a trace.
After the real boss of the tavern returned and learned that all this was caused by her, he was directly furious, not only deducting all her salary as compensation but also directly firing her.
And she had been in a hurry when she fled from home and did not bring much money. Although she had saved some from working as a tavern waitress in these few months, she still did not have many savings and could only barely maintain her life. Right now, there was no suitable work in the recruitment section of the newspaper. What should she do now?
"Are you... Miss Agatha?"
Just when Agatha, who was in front of the post office, was at her wit's end because of being strapped for cash, a somewhat surprised voice sounded from behind her.
Agatha turned her head in surprise and found that the person who came was the guest who chatted very happily with her yesterday and bravely stood out when the sailors were making trouble.
"Mr. Elijah!"
Looking at the man whose head was wrapped in gauze and whose forehead was also bruised, but whose handsome demeanor was still undiminished, thinking of her action of leaving him to be beaten yesterday, Agatha, who felt guilty in her heart, could not help but blush and took the initiative to greet him:
"Are... are you okay? I am truly sorry about yesterday's matter. If it weren't for me... you wouldn't have..."
"It's fine."
Although Elijah, who was beaten up for nothing, was a bit depressed, when he saw the graceful beauty with a blushing face in front of him, the slight resentment in his heart vanished unknowingly, and he answered with a smile:
"Yesterday's matter was not your fault, you were just implicated by the drunkards making trouble. As for the injuries on my body, when I decided to stand out yesterday, I had already prepared for the possibility of being beaten.
This is the price a man should pay when practicing his principles, and it is also a medal commemorating my courage. It has nothing to do with a beautiful lady who was just innocently implicated. You don't need to feel guilty for this."
"Mr. Elijah..."
Looking at Elijah, who was beaten so badly but was still trying hard to comfort her, Agatha felt a warmth in her heart. She clenched her fists and placed them on her chest, and said softly with tenderness in her eyes:
"Your bravery and gentleness are like this morning's sunshine, illuminating the dark room of my heart, and like the endless waves on the ocean, making me..."
"I truly can't take it anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ang, who had been sitting in the post office for half a day, could not help but push open the window and poke his head out, complaining speechlessly:
"Can't you two speak properly? Greeting each other is like chanting, coming and going, the tone is almost about to sing. If I don't come out to interrupt, will you two jump a section in the middle of the road later? And then we passersby all jump out of the car and stand on the roof of the car to accompany you in dancing?"
After Li Ang's complaint was finished, the yellow-haired little husky on his shoulder also nodded its little head together, and tried to help out with full momentum:
"Woof woof! (That's right, that's right)"
This person is... Mr. Joseph?
Seeing the one person and one dog poking their heads out of the window, the male and female leads of "Twelve Days of Traveling Together" were stunned on the spot at the same time.
Without it, relying on the tuft of yellow hair of the same color on his and the little husky's head, after recognizing Li Ang's identity, Agatha could not help but be a bit surprised:
"It's only been a day, your change is truly... quite big..."
Not only quite big, but also quite expensive. These clothes are enough for my salary for half a month at the Cleaning Bureau. A clothing store in a seaside small city actually sells clothes at the same price as the capital. It is simply outrageous.
After complaining about the magical price of Ankara in his heart, Li Ang responded with a smile:
"Actually, it's nothing, mainly just changed a set of clothes."
Yes, it is indeed just changing a set of clothes, but you look much more pleasing to the eye now.
Recalling "Mr. Joseph's" past attire and comparing it with his current appearance, Agatha's lips could not help but curl up, and she tried hard to hold it back several times but failed.
"If you want to laugh, then laugh."
After blinking his eyes and looking at the Princess who could not help but laugh, Li Ang, while pondering his "character setting," said softly with a face full of doting:
"If I can make my rose bloom with a smile, then even if I am laughed at by everyone, it is worth it."
"..."
Alright, it seems that only the face has changed, Mr. Joseph is indeed still that Mr. Joseph.
Shaking her head helplessly, Agatha, who was no longer a tavern waitress and did not need to cater to customers, said:
"Mr. Joseph, please don't say such things again. I am just myself, not anyone's rose."
"Good, my most beautiful rose in my heart."
"..."
This person is hopeless.
After looking at Li Ang, whose eyes were full of her, Agatha shook her head, gave up the idea of changing him, and turned to look at the recruitment section of the newspaper, preparing to find a job for herself first.
