The Monster I Was Redeemed

The weekend after Christmas.

At 8:30 in the morning, Ai Liang locked the door and prepared to go out for shopping.

Yesterday's meal consumed all the ingredients in the refrigerator, leaving only some ginger and garlic.

Originally, there wasn't much stock left in the refrigerator, so we were clearing out the stock to replenish it.

Next door, Ye Qing and Yiwenna started getting up at five or six o'clock to wash up and prepare to go out.

The two girls have probably been shopping for a while now.

Don't ask how you know.

In Ye Qing's room and Ai Liang's room, you can chat face to face when you open the window, and you can't hear any noise until there is a ghost.

Last night, while Yi Wenna was asleep, Ye Qing asked Ai Liang on his mobile phone if he wanted to go out to play together today, but Ai Liang refused.

A place where two girls wanted to visit would definitely not interest him as a boy.

In addition to purchasing ingredients, I also read almost all the books at home.

Ai Liang plans to stop by the bookstore after the purchase to see if there are any newly published books.

Calculate the time and go downstairs to the bus stop.

Thirty seconds later, a bus stopped in front of Ai Liang.

In fact, most people who live in the urban area of ​​​​Yalian order vegetable bags directly online.

While the development of science and technology has made people's lives more convenient, it has also kicked some old habits out of the trend of the times.

There are very few people who are willing to go out to buy groceries in person.

Yalian has very strict management of fresh ingredients purchased online. Anything to be put on the Internet must be approved by multiple agencies.

It cannot be illegally genetically modified or contain pesticide residues. Food ingredients that are close to the shelf life must be discounted based on the remaining shelf life, and the place of origin must be marked.

Every once in a while, a special department will conduct surprise sampling surveys.

By the way, genetically modified foods here refer to genetically modified foods that are independently developed through informal channels and have not undergone safety assessment and testing.

Due to the strict control of food safety issues, many companies are opportunistic and use genetic modification to improve the disease resistance and yield of fruits and vegetables, at least to make them look fresh on the outside.

It's unknown what safety risks there are.

If someone is harmed due to online food shopping, not only the person in charge of the supplier will face a prison sentence of one to fifteen years, depending on the degree of harm, but also the department responsible for sampling surveys will be severely punished.

These harsh regulations and strict enforcement measures have greatly guaranteed food safety issues.

So people don’t have to worry about what inferior ingredients they will buy online.

After all, AFC’s annual expenditure on people’s livelihood accounts for 21% of the total annual GDP.

Leaving aside Nevada City, people in other cities are doing pretty well.

This can be seen from the free and informal atmosphere of Qianhua City.

If people in an area are constantly running around for survival every day, busy with their feet on the ground, and afraid of wasting time even if they get sick, it is absolutely impossible to have this kind of social atmosphere.

In addition, Qianhua City has been affected by Neihua City in recent years. Among all the cities in the Asian League, the public security environment is relatively poor.

In other cities, even if you never look for a job as an adult, you would be fine just relying on public subsidies.

But these subsidies are not free.

Your bank account will be monitored by the Labor Department.

Daily expenses are limited to basic living expenses, that is, food, clothing, housing and transportation. Each relevant consumption cannot exceed the corresponding amount limit, and any luxury goods other than necessities cannot be purchased.

For example, you can purchase small items, but the amount cannot exceed one hundred yuan per month, and the amount cannot be accumulated and retained until the next month.

You can add more clothes, but no more than three sets of clothes can be changed in each season...

In the materialistic modern society, this is extremely fatal.

After all, you are spending money to raise rice bugs, and the relevant regulations are very detailed, and there is almost no room for loopholes.

When your purchasing power is clearly limited, you will find that the things you want will suddenly increase dramatically, and you will want everything you see.

Therefore, less than 10% of local adult males choose to be rice bugs.

About one in every fifteen to twenty people.

Of course, this data is not fixed. There are also many people who can't stand these days when all consumption is subject to the supervision of the Labor Bureau and choose to go out to find a job.

There are even fewer women, who have a much stronger desire to shop than men.

The scene comes to the fresh food market.

Most of the people who come to the fresh food market at this time are housewives who want to save money on transportation costs, and purchasers of restaurants.

The young Ai Liang appeared here, very conspicuous.

The reason why Ai Liang often goes out to buy groceries is, firstly, to pass the time and feel the atmosphere of life, and secondly, to remember his past life and retain some normal human habits.

After purchasing the ingredients for a few days, Ai Liang handed over these ingredients to the logistics personnel because he had to go to the bookstore to buy books.

They will deliver these things to the storage point downstairs of Ai Liang before noon.

You just need to pay an extra express fee.

On the way to the bookstore, Ai Liang met a group of unexpected people.

"Ai Liang? Why are you alone?"

Chen Zili, Xu Tao, Peng Yuan, and another unknown classmate ran into Ai Liang head-on.

Although they were not very familiar with Ai Liang, out of basic courtesy, they still said hello to Ai Liang, including Peng Yuan, who had just arrived to report.

Ai Liang didn't expect that Peng Yuan would become familiar with the class so quickly. This was many times better than Chen Zili, who could only talk to him at the beginning.

"Is it strange that I'm alone?" Ai Liang said with a paralyzed face.

Chen Zili waved his hand and explained: "I didn't mean that, I meant... Ye Qing is not with you today?"

This question made Ai Liang even more speechless: "Do I have to go out with her to be considered normal?"

Chen Zili scratched his head: "That's not what I meant..."

"But wasn't it Christmas yesterday? You should have spent it with Ye Qing, but today you are alone..." Chen Zili hesitated.

To put it bluntly, this guy was just making insinuations and asking himself if he had any trouble with Ye Qing yesterday, so he went out alone today.

After figuring out what Chen Zili wanted to express, Ai Liang pursed his lips and explained: "She and Yi Wenna went out to play early in the morning. They are not children. Do they still want me to follow them?"

Chen Zili and others were speechless by Ai Liang's hard-core answer.

Brother, is this a matter of being a child or not?

You are a titanium alloy straight man who is harder than a steel straight man!

However, Xu Tao found key information from it: "I remember that Yi Wenna didn't go back to the dormitory last night. Could it be that she was also there last night..."

Although the management of Qianhua Experimental Middle School is relaxed, if you stay out at night, you still have to report to the squad leader and dormitory manager to explain the situation.

With Chen Zili as a bad manager, it was not difficult for Xu Tao to know that Yi Wenna was not in the dormitory yesterday.

Ai Liang saw Xu Tao's concerns and explained: "She had dinner at my place yesterday, but after dinner she went to Ye Qing's house to sleep."

Ai Liang deliberately omitted the part about Yiwenna being drunk.

Because there is no point in saying it, and it will only make Xu Tao more troubled.

Even though everyone is well aware of Ai Liang's hard-core straight-male personality, the fact that a girl gets drunk in a boy's house alone will arouse people's imagination.

What's more, yesterday was a festival like Christmas that was full of fire.

Xu Tao forced a smile: "That's it."

Obviously, he still thinks that the person Yi Wenna likes is Ai Liang.

The only thing that comforted Xu Tao was that Ai Liang was not a scumbag, and he was not very interested in Yi Wenna.

As long as Ai Liang maintains the image of a cold-faced handsome guy, he will still have a chance.

After chatting for a while, several people were planning to say goodbye.

Peng Yuan spoke at this time.

"Speaking of which, since Yi Wenna went out with Ye Qing, Ye Qing should have invited you before going out, right? Do you know where they went?"

Peng Yuan kept smiling and asked curiously.

Ai Liang turned to look at Peng Yuan: "Why do you ask this?"

Peng Yuan continued: "It's nothing, it's just that Xu Tao invited Yi Wenna yesterday, but she was rejected, so we thought... you know."

Xu Tao was stunned for a moment, frowned and glanced at Peng Yuan, then pointed the finger at Chen Zili: "Hey, Old Chen, why do you keep talking about everything?"

Just as Chen Zili was about to explain, Peng Yuan took the lead and said, "Haha, sorry, sorry, this is not what he told me, but in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, the sound of your chat was really too loud, and there was nothing I could do about it."

Xu Tao suddenly held all his words in his throat.

Chen Zili was not in the boys' dormitory, and no one responded to his messages, so he could only make voice calls.

Beast friends between boys don't care about timing. Pulling them up for a walk in the middle of the night and calling them out to surf the Internet are commonplace things.

Because it was Xu Tao himself who called in the middle of the night to disturb people's dreams.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, he kept his mouth shut and stopped questioning Chen Zili.

"So?" Ai Liang still looked like he was neither salty nor bland.

"So can you tell us where Yiwenna and the others went to play?" Peng Yuan touched his head and said with a hearty smile.

When he heard that Peng Yuan was helping him find out the whereabouts of Yi Wenna, Xu Tao couldn't bear to be angry anymore.

He looked at Ai Liang expectantly, trying to learn the whereabouts of Yi Wenna from Ai Liang.

"So why should I tell you?"

Ai Liang stated the question more straightforwardly: "Yi Wenna didn't tell you her whereabouts, which means she doesn't want you to know.

Besides, even if you knew it, what could you do? Would you bother them in the past? What's the difference between this and being a stalker. "

Xu Tao's face turned blue and white as Ai Liang talked.

He opened his mouth to argue: "I, I just..."

Ai Liang didn't give him a chance to speak: "If you like her, then why do you keep doing things she hates? Or can you immediately make her like you if you know where she is?"

Ai Liang's words reminded Xu Tao of what happened at the playground in Neihua City, and he fell silent.

Peng Yuan didn't pay attention to Ai Liang's question. He said with a relaxed expression: "But if you don't know the other party's movements, you don't even have a chance to develop a good impression, right?"

Seeing that Peng Yuan still refused to back down, Ai Liang spoke directly: "So why should I tell you? Are we familiar with each other?"

Asking other people about a person's whereabouts because of a wall in person, which was very common in students, is taboo in society.

Ai Liang is a very principled person and an adult at the same time.

He looks at the problem from a completely different perspective than the students.

In the case of Yiwenna's resistance, besides offending others, would telling her whereabouts bring any benefit to Ai Liang?

Have Peng Yuan and Xu Tao considered whether Ai Liang will be held accountable after the incident is exposed?

No.

They only care about the present and don't think about the consequences at all.

The mentality of students is that all help given to them by others is a matter of course.

It's normal to even backhandedly sell the person who helped you.

Only the slightly precocious Chen Zili considered these issues and did not take the initiative to speak.

The word maturity does not refer to age, but to the perspective of looking at things and the means of handling affairs.

Perhaps some people will ridicule these behaviors and show disdain.

But this just proves that he is a fragile and naive person.

Because he didn't even understand that he was not qualified to make the rules of the game.

If you don't try to change, you just blame others and think you are arrogant. How smart can you expect such a person to be?

As for whether Ai Liang's words will cause a rift between classmates.

Ai Liang came to Qianhua Market just to live a peaceful life, but he didn't really come here to go to school.

Those are the only people he cares about.

Things like classmate relationships don't matter at all.

Ai Liang's sharp words put several people into an embarrassing situation.

At any time, few people would speak so plainly.

Just as Chen Zili wanted to come out to smooth things over, Ai Liang spoke up: "I have something else to do next, so excuse me."

After saying that, he passed over several people and left without looking back, leaving only Chen Zili and his group stunned.

"Well, Ai Liang's character is like this. Although his words are a bit unpleasant, he is not essentially a bad person."

Chen Zili began to explain to Ai Liang: "Otherwise, the playground wouldn't have found excuses for me and Xu Tao to get close..."

"It's really uncomfortable if you don't scratch my wound, isn't it?"

Xu Tao said quietly behind Chen Zili.

He had already been criticized by Ai Liang for being completely bruised, and now he was stabbed in the back by his teammates.

Xu Tao felt that his heart was so tired: "Ai Liang is indeed not a bad person, but his character is really unacceptable to ordinary people."

Peng Yuan looked at the direction in which Ai Liang disappeared with great interest: "Really? I think this Ai Liang has quite a personality. This is the first time I have met such a person in reality."

Xu Tao glanced at Peng Yuan: "Then your interest is really extraordinary."

Peng Yuan didn't refute, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you go to the mall today to see if you can "encounter" Yi Wenna?"

The big boy named Xu Tao fell into silence again.
