Chapter 1355 (1/1)
Because he can't drive, LAN Xier has to take the bus and subway when working.
Only in a sparsely populated place like Adelaide, public transportation is not as convenient as China. Sometimes it takes an hour to wait for a bus.
As a result, she spent most of her time on the road. In addition, the intensity of working is very high. I worked two or three jobs at the same time. Sometimes I didn't sleep for a few hours a day. After a long time, her poor health gradually became unbearable.
That is, during that time, Alex found her weakness and asked with concern what was going on. When he learned that Lan Xier had to wait for an hour every day, he took the initiative to pick her up to work.
”No, you have your own business to do.” LAN Xier knows that it is not easy for every foreign student here - except the rich second generation.
Foreigners like Alex became completely independent at the age of 18. Even if his family had more money, they would not support him for a penny. All the expenses of life depended on working by themselves.
But Alex insisted: ”Xi'er, don't be polite to me. Anyway, I'm on my way. Your working time is similar to me, and the location is not far away... Besides, it's really unsafe for you to go out early and return late. It's not good if you're targeted by some bad guys.”
Facing his insistence, LAN Xier didn't mean to refuse. Moreover, the latter safety factor mentioned by Alex is indeed what she is worried about. Sometimes after work at night, she waits for the bus at the bus stop alone, especially in the late night of winter.
”Then... Please.” LAN Xier finally accepted his kindness.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, there was an accident
It was a night in early spring. That night, LAN Xier worked in a famous bar in the circle of foreigners. Usually she is responsible for serving drinks. Although she has to stay up late, the work intensity is not too high.
That night she felt very wrong, always making mistakes, and the whole person was in a daze. She didn't remember anything the guest ordered.
Fortunately, they were all familiar guests and didn't care too much about her. They just complained a little. LAN Xier smiled and apologized to them again and again, and it was over.
But when she was about to leave work, she was preparing to go home after serving the last table of guests, but she met a group of gangsters.
Those gangsters looked as if they had just finished drinking or smoking Du. They were particularly excited. Singing and dancing in the bar is like winding up and can't stop.
When LAN Xier meets such guests, he will deliberately lower his eyes and try not to look at them, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
She was the same that night, but even so, the trouble came to her.
”Hey, that's not what we ordered just now!” A boy with braided hair stopped her, and the smile on her face was a little malicious.
”Sorry, I may have made a mistake.” LAN Xi'er stepped back alertly and apologized very sincerely. Because she knows that in this place, rebellious teenagers like this can't be provoked.
”Just apologize?” The boy got close to her and looked at her carefully. His voice became more and more frivolous, ”unless you have a few drinks with us, that's OK.”
