Chapter 49 Gummy Bears
The metal shopping cart was filled with snacks, including spicy strips and high-end chocolate in slightly cheap packaging, lollipops at 50 cents each, and dry red wine.
A collection of contradictions.
The pink-haired girl with glasses glanced at the items in the shopping cart in front of her.
The person pushing the shopping cart and walking slowly was a male Alpha, aloof and cold, wearing a well-tailored coat, a suppression patch on his neck, and a wedding ring on his hand.
The pink-haired girl is an Omega, so she can sense the boiling aura of the male Alpha.
The person in front of him seemed to be his wife, with long hair tied behind her head. She was squatting and looking at the flavor of the candy. The ends of her hair ran over her shoulders and neck to her chest, and the exposed side of her neck was also covered with a suppression patch.
The breath is peaceful.
Not an Alpha, nor as shaky as an Omega, so it should be a noble and stable Beta.
She always feels that stability is a person's greatest charm.
"This gummy candy is delicious, very soft and bouncy." The female Beta voice has a strong texture, like the sound of a rose.
Just listening to the sound is very bewitching.
The pink-haired girl is going crazy. Although Alpha is more barbaric and his animal nature is hard to suppress, it is not impossible to get a fight with him.
The woman's voice started again: "Let's go quickly after you finish shopping, Zhai Yang."
Cui Jing was a little worried. The disabled cat "Buhei" was left at the entrance of the supermarket and entrusted to the staff for safekeeping. The day after tomorrow, there will be a Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, and Zhai Yang will pick her up from the hospital.
After she was discharged from the hospital, she went home to wash up, and then picked up the disabled cat. Qin Sheng was busy these two days and had no time to look after the cat, so she made an appointment with her to go to the amusement park on the Mid-Autumn Festival night.
When she turned around, she saw Zhai Yang looking at her with confusion in his eyes.
What? What's the problem?
Is she sharing something with me? Zhai Yang didn't answer and lowered his head to get a bag of gummy bears. "Sounds good?"
I got a bag of cucumber flavored ones.
Cui Jing thought this was out of line, "How did you manage to easily make a bag of something that tasted... unpalatable?"
"I don't like sugar." In Zhai Yang's imagination, the taste of cucumber is quite different from sugar.
Cui Jing had to admit that things that exist have their value.
It's hard to judge.
"hurry up."
At the end of the food aisle she glanced at a dog cage.
It should be a device for raising some large dogs, half a person's height, dark and solid, and half covered with dust cloth. In a trance, she seemed to see a pair of pleading eyes from a close distance when she leaned on the iron railing.
"Do you want to keep a dog?" Zhai Yang looked over and asked, "Jingjing."
Zhai Yang called her several times before she came to her senses.
"Ok?"
"What are you thinking about so seriously?"
"This tastes good, too." Cui Jing was still holding a bag of gummy bears in her hand. She pushed a few bags of candy into the shopping cart with a smile. Her sleeves happened to be untied. She lowered her eyes and stopped where she was, fiddling with her sleeves, with an indifferent expression on her face.
Zhai Yang didn't believe it.
She is definitely not thinking about the taste of sugar. The way she expresses her emotions is sometimes clear and sometimes obscure. When it is clear, you can tell at a glance whether she is unhappy or contented, while when it is obscure, it is difficult to understand.
Zhai Yang picked up a box of tomato-flavored potato chips and threw it into the metal shopping cart.
"boom--"
The red cylinder spun and bumped inside.
……
Cui Jing had a dream the night she returned to Zhai's house.
She dreamed of such a pair of eyes. She smiled and turned sideways in front of the mirror. The girl in the mirror was wearing a long plain dress, the hem of which was as long and thin as a cicada's wing.
There were always noises coming from the room upstairs. There was a dog in the room that she had never seen before. It seemed like someone was stopping her from exploring. Cui Jing, wearing her skirt, took off the ring and threw it into the goldfish tank. She lay in front of the tank and looked at the tropical fish inside.
They swam in the same direction as a group, turned collectively when they touched the tank wall, and their eyes looked dull.
The pigeon egg diamond wedding ring is rooted in the bottom of the tank like a decorative rock mushroom, and the green water plants are swaying.
Cui Jing went upstairs holding up her skirt, holding a decorative red plum branch in her hand.
"Pinch, pinch, pinch." Cui Jing pushed the door open and saw a cage covered with cloth. The room was bright, the air was fresh, and there was no fishy smell.
It must be a puppy.
She took a few steps and used a slender branch to lift the cage cloth, and saw a pair of dead eyes. It was not a "dog" at all, but a "dog".
Thunder crackled in the air.
"Don't look back."
Her voice seemed to echo in the air, so loud, so strong that it caused a violent storm.
Cui Jing woke up from her dream. It was dark at night, and there was no light outside the window. Her chest rose and fell slightly, and the timeline of the original work exploded with a "bang", and the sea of memories popped up.
"Xue Yijie's friends couldn't get in touch with him. A few months passed, and when his friends saw Xue Yijie again, he seemed to have changed a lot.
Standing next to him was a man who looked like a superior.
The two seemed to have a good relationship. When the man was talking to Xue Yijie, he responded incoherently, and he was indescribably numb.
She didn't remember any more details.
It turns out that the author has foreshadowed this. How many days was he imprisoned? One day or a week?
Maybe a week.
The special edition mentioned that the protagonist, the bottom, took some sweet revenge on the protagonist, the chapter title is: Iron Cage: Retaliation (be careful).
For a period of one week, it is a means of revenge, robbing and losing control by being locked in an iron cage.
In fact, this world is not real enough. How can the real world process follow the emotions of the "protagonist"? Even if there is a so-called world line, it is not this kind, but a historical line.
She took out her phone and looked at it.
Two o'clock in the morning.
The social app messages are clean, but the text messages are piled up.
【Xitai Hezhong University Hospital】: Dear Beta woman, Cui Jing. Please go to Xitai Hezhong University Hospital for the first gland reexamination on October 7. Warm reminder: The flow of people during the National Day is uncontrollable. Please determine the travel time, register in advance, and reserve a vehicle. If you drive by yourself, please pay attention to driving safety. I wish you a happy life.
[Xitai District Economic Census Office]: The unit work of the second national gender census will begin at the end of this month. At that time, staff wearing "Census Taker Certificates" will collect gender information. Please cooperate.
She flipped through the text messages, which contained drowning prevention tips and the ABO legal education session schedule, etc.
After the release of the "New ABO Law", legal education points became numerous overnight, and CCTV channels launched several programs discussing kinship.
Many families are reorganized or preparing to reorganize. For example, a husband and wife both differentiate into Alphas. The confrontation of Alpha pheromones makes it impossible for the two to live in the same space, and they eventually reach a consensus to divorce.
Compared with the "Old Marriage Law (Gender)" which stipulates that divorce can be filed after two years of separation, and forced divorce will be granted after three months if mediation is not accepted, the "New ABO Law" issued on August 15 has such a time limit policy: divorce can be filed after three months of separation, and forced divorce will be granted after three months if mediation is not accepted.
Her sliding hand stopped, and it turned out to be a text message from early August.
[Kyoto People's Congress]: Good laws are the prerequisite for good governance. The Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress revised the legislative regulations to broaden the channels for all parties to participate in legislation. We welcome your opinions and suggestions on Kyoto's legislative work after the group division, and jointly create a good legal environment.
Cui Jing does not think that the public's suggestions can provide any guidance for legislation. For most people, this text message will just be drowned in the sea of text messages and no one will read it.
Making laws that facilitate divorce is nothing more than a way for those in power to protect their own class.
Finally she opened WeChat.
The list was dead silent. She had been wandering since she came to this world and had never really landed. Mrs. Chen was just a play partner, and her best friend came to her on her own initiative.
Wang Xiaoming, the only one who took the initiative to contact us, had a purpose.
However, she has no plans to change.
She clicked on the WeChat messages to see if she had missed anything, and scrolled down to see the greetings from [Seventh Night] during the day.
The content is: Long time no see.
The light from the screen shone on her face. In the cold light, her half-closed eyes looked frivolous. The fine radiating lines in her sclera were like dark serrated cracks, which were filled with neurotic indifference.
She let out a chuckle.
Austin hasn't contacted me for a long time.
When she thought of the news about Austin, she just made a few perfunctory and amusing remarks, but she refused to go in the direction he wanted, so he did not send some unspeakable drugs like in the original book.
On the contrary, in order to become "friends" with her and find out information about her, Cui Jing sent her a bunch of brand-name bags, which she kept in her small warehouse without unpacking them.
Aston was guilty of his crime, so in the original book he would ask hackers to regularly clean up messages with "Cui Jing", and the logistics information of things bought for "Cui Jing" was kept clean.
When Zhai Yang took her phone before, he didn't find anything. It must have been cleaned up.
Cui Jing planned to divorce and sell the 99% new second-hand item for recycling, and she would earn tens of thousands of yuan. She blocked him as a friend on the grounds that seeing him reminded her of sad things, leaving no evidence.
But...it's time for Wang Xiaoming to visit her.
