Chapter 761

Selina held a large box and walked through a long, thin corridor. Her good friend Maggie was waiting at the door. When Selina walked over, Maggie hurried to meet her and helped her lift the box into the room together.

Putting down the box, Selina sighed and patted the dust on her hands, looking up at the environment in the room.

This is a single-room apartment in Living Hell. After the first phase of the transformation of Living Hell was completed, there were quite a few residents who transformed the extra area of their homes into single-room apartments, used to rent to residents in other parts of the East District.

The former Living Hell was the neighborhood with the worst living conditions in the East District, but now, the situation is completely different. Although the rooms here are still very narrow and the lighting is not sufficient, the sanitary conditions are more than a grade better. Although the decoration is not very luxurious, it is definitely much better than a broken shed.

And because of the wealth gap, there are still quite a few residents in the East District living in broken houses. For example, Selina's good friend Maggie used to live on the outskirts of the shantytown. Although it was a bit better than those broken houses built with iron sheets and containers, every time it rained, rainwater would flow down the corners of the walls until a large area of the ground was damp and moldy.

The house Maggie lived in before had small windows and poor orientation, cold in winter and hot in summer. Every winter, Selina couldn't even stay in that house for two hours, otherwise, she would be frozen stiff.

Maggie also walked over from the door, looked at this small room, and sighed, "I never thought I could still live in such a house."

This small room is not big, only four or five square meters, just enough to put down a bed, but there is a window on the side, and a bay window, which expands a lot of space. There are also two pots of flowers on the bay window, which are growing well at this time.

Maggie lay on the bed all of a sudden, showing a happy expression. Selina sat beside her, hugged her, smiled, and said, "You found a new job in a restaurant in the East District and have a salary, so you can rent a better house. If you save some more money, maybe you can even buy a house of your own."

"Forget it." Maggie shook her head and said, "Even if it's buying a house in the East District, it also requires a large sum of money. With my current salary, I'm afraid that even if I work for another ten years, there is no hope."

"Don't say that. Haven't you heard? Cat Getan University's technical college has already started. Although the number of students in the first batch is very small, maybe the second batch will recruit more people."

Selina shook her head and said, "I'm not the material for reading, but you definitely can. You are so patient, knit sweaters so well, and can sing. If you go to learn some technology, your salary will definitely get higher and higher, so buying a house won't be a difficult thing."

Maggie leaned over, looked at Selina's beautiful face, and said, "What about you? What do you plan to do? Mixing with Wei En every day?"

"I'm not mixing with him."

"You are." Maggie said very definitely, "Will he marry you? Will you become his wife? Will you two raise children? I'm not talking about adopted children, but children you give birth to yourself..."

"He won't take you to church, won't take an oath with you, you two won't grow old together. Selina, I'm saying such hurtful words precisely because I don't want you to get hurt..." Maggie looked at her good friend with a sorrowful look.

"Your beauty is an incomparable wealth, but at the same time, it is also a fatal trap. It will make you believe in the beautiful dreams brought to you by others in the first half of your life. But when you lose your beauty, you might be even more miserable than others..." Maggie looked at her good friend seriously.

Selina put her hand on Maggie's hand and said, "I have never counted on him to give me any promise? It doesn't matter if he isn't responsible for me, I don't want to be responsible for him either. I don't want to live my life so seriously."

"Maggie, I know you are longing to enter the church with the person you truly love, take a solemn oath, and then walk into the grave hand in hand, but I am different. I think that is too boring."

"I know I don't have any capital to enjoy love, because I am just a poor girl from the slums. Wealthy conditions cannot accompany me for a lifetime, but I don't care. If I am destined to return to the slums, that's fine too. I like this kind of free and easy feeling."

Selina walked to the window, touched the leaves of the pot of flowers on the windowsill, and said, "Maggie, you are like this pot of flowers. You should wake up from a warm bedroom on an ordinary morning. The craziest thing you did the night before was just giving your lover a kiss."

"However, at the same time, I might have just fallen asleep in the morning light, because I spent the whole night riding the wind on the roof of a building, or sitting on the roof, looking at the light of the jewelry store opposite. I like this life of running for my life, and I also like such a lover."

Maggie sighed deeply and said, "Only that Wei En can stand you."

"By the way." Maggie seemed to have suddenly remembered something and said, "Recently, why do you have time to help me move? Before, weren't you always stuck to Wei En?"

Selina showed a complex expression and said, "He's been busy lately and doesn't have much time."

Maggie, however, pricked up her ears, narrowed her eyes, and asked, "Busy? When a man says he's busy, haven't you raised your vigilance yet?"

Maggie pulled Selina to sit back on the edge of the bed, held her face with both hands, and said, "Look at you, such a gorgeous and moving beauty, which man would say he's busy to this face of yours?"

Selina puffed out her cheeks, pushed Maggie's hand away, and said, "Bruce Wei En can. Not only can he say he's busy to me, but he also made me help him check materials and write papers all night on the first night we separated and reunited!"

"My God!" Maggie exclaimed, "Just like this, you still think he didn't cheat?? Bruce Wei En will write papers? If you publish this sentence in the newspaper, it will become the most popular joke in Cat Getan for the next ten years!

!"

"I don't know what's wrong with him either. He seems to have changed a bit, but I can't say where exactly he changed." Selina leaned her head on Maggie's shoulder, but the alarm bell in Maggie's heart rang louder and louder. She said, "You have to trust your intuition. When you feel a man has changed, I'm afraid things are just as you imagine."

"You mean, he really cheated? Not necessarily, right? Before, I told him that if he felt bored, then tell me, and we two would break up. He also promised me that before proposing to break up with me, he wouldn't look for other women." Selina widened her eyes and said a bit doubtfully.

"You even believe the promise of a playboy?!" Maggie glanced at her and said, "You'd better keep a close eye on him. Even if you don't need his wealth and status, he is your boyfriend after all. If he cheated, isn't it saying that you are not very attractive??"

Selina immediately bounced off the bed, bared her teeth, and said, "If he dares to cheat, I will definitely kill him!"

But after a while, she deflated again, sitting back down a bit dejectedly, and said, "Recently, Bruce is hiding in Cat Getan University, and I can't get in there."

"Can't get in? Is there any place in Cat Getan you can't get into?" Maggie looked at Selina very suspiciously and said.

"No, if I want to climb over the wall, how could the security guard stop me? But there is a very terrifying professor there. I don't dare to provoke him, otherwise, I will definitely be stewed." Selina shivered and said.

"Professor? But, aren't university professors quite gentle? Just that kind of knowledgeable, refined, and polite appearance?" Maggie held her face with both hands and said, "I quite like that type, at least not like those gang thugs, whose brains are only full of shootouts."

"No." Selina waved her hand in front of her and continued, "Do you remember the adventure I told you about in Metropolis last time?"

Maggie nodded and said, "Of course I remember. You said you were trapped in a manor because of a heavy snow, and also encountered a group of agents, as well as helicopter engines that would fly in the sky. Honestly, Selina, I think you might have a fever, otherwise how could you have such hallucinations?"

"I don't have a fever." Selina emphasized, "Before, I didn't tell you, when I was trapped in the manor, I had a dream. To be precise, it was Professor Schiller who pulled me into his dream."

"Originally, everything was fine. I was spinning around in a super big amusement park. All the amusement facilities were free, and even those shops that hit balloons and fished for toys didn't charge. I was so happy that I couldn't wait to try every facility!"

"But just when I was having a great time, suddenly there was an earthquake. No, perhaps, it wasn't an earthquake. It sounded like something exploded. In an instant, the appearance of the whole park changed."

"Everything started to crack, and all kinds of fragments combined together, turning into some strange-looking monsters. All the facilities in the amusement park exploded, and I had to run away frantically while avoiding those fragments..."

Selina covered her chest with her hand and said, "At that time, I was riding the Ferris wheel. When I fell from mid-air, I was almost scared to death!"

"In order to escape from there, I ran for a full kilometer, but bumped into a monster that didn't know which dream it ran out of..."

"In short, Professor Schiller's brain has many terrifying things..." Selina shivered and said, "If I dare to break into Cat Getan University, he will definitely kill me!"

Maggie sighed and said, "Even if these things aren't what you imagined, Cat Getan University is so big. You only walk around the very edge. How could he happen to find you?"

"And, aren't you all active at night? At that time, these teachers should have been asleep long ago. And even if you are caught, you are just looking for your boyfriend, not doing bad things. This is common. What reason does he have to kill you?"

Selina hesitated for a moment, feeling that what Maggie said made sense. Cat Getan University is so big, she wouldn't be so unlucky that as soon as she entered, she would run into Schiller, right?

And, she wasn't going in to steal things, just to find Bruce. If she was caught, at most she would be scolded a few times, and there shouldn't be any big deal.

Thinking this way, Selina stood up, patted the dust on her clothes, said to Maggie, "It's going to be dark soon, I'll go around Cat Getan University to see if there's any place I can sneak in."

Moving her body in the room, Selina jumped out through the window of Maggie's room.

Not long after, she arrived near Cat Getan University. Although she felt she wouldn't be discovered, she still found the most quiet place and climbed over the guardrail with agile movements.

Selina landed behind a bush in a green flower bed. Just as she poked her head out of the bush, she felt a black shadow cover her head.

Selina subconsciously dodged and jumped, climbed up the street lamp pole next to her, and climbed to the very top in a few "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" movements. Schiller pointed at her with his umbrella and said, "You come down."

Selina shook her head vigorously and said, "I won't come down."

"You come down."

"I won't come down."

"Why won't you come down?"

"Then why don't you come up?"
