"Xiao Jie, you've grown up." Jing Qian didn't shy away from complimenting him.
Jing Jie didn't know how to express it, and his face turned red again.
He also grew up. After seeing the dark side of life and experiencing what happened to his parents and sister, he was no longer the Jing Jie he used to be.
"Then … Next, can I ignore everything and go directly to the Chole finals to watch the designer competition?"
Jing Jie smiled and nodded.
Ever since Scarver saw Jing Qian, her lips had been curled into a sweet smile. She passed through the wealthiest district in Country I, rode her bicycle all the way to the slums, and then stopped in front of an old three-story house. She pushed her bicycle into the house.
The house had a history of 100 years. Although the house was maintained, the water and electricity were often cut off, and there were often various problems with the aging of the pipes.
It was in such an old three-story house that the Scarvers lived.
However, they weren't the only ones living in this old three-story house. In this old building, there were three families living on the second floor alone. The three families shared a kitchen, a bathroom, and a bathroom.
There would always be disgusting filth in the bathroom because a drunkard had moved to the first floor not long ago. He would often drink until late at night, and in the middle of the night, he would often be heard screaming in pain and vomiting. Sometimes when he could take care of himself, he would go to the bathroom to vomit, which often led to an indescribable disgusting smell in the bathroom.
There was also the bathroom. Although it was separated from the bathroom, there was always the disgusting smell of the man.
Scarver never liked to use the bathroom or take a shower at home. She would rather ride her bicycle to the public bathroom one kilometer away. Especially after the disgusting man came, sometimes she needed to wash her hands, but looking at the dirty yellow things in the bathroom sink, she couldn't help but want to vomit.
She had enough of this life and tried to get rid of it. Unfortunately, her father died early, her mother was in poor health, and she had two younger brothers to support. Her family couldn't afford to buy a house, so they could only rent this slum.
When they first met Jing Jie through playing the game "Strike Back Z16" on an international website, he was the only Z national in their war zone.
Her concept of Country Z had always been stuck in the last century. She always felt that the people of Country Z were very poor, so she felt especially superior in front of Jing Jie.
However, she gradually discovered that it wasn't that Jing Jie couldn't afford equipment, but that his craftsmanship was too good. He didn't need to buy any equipment at all. He was at the level where he could directly participate in the competition.
As for money, he seemed to have more money than her. When he saw that she wanted the equipment, he didn't even blink when he spent 70 US dollars to buy it for her.
Seventy US dollars was enough for the family of four to buy good meat and eat it every day for a week.
At that time, she felt that Jing Jie liked her, so she kept him hanging. Unfortunately, this boy didn't like to talk, so she didn't want to say too much to him, lest he got annoyed.
In the past three years, she had freeloaded a lot of equipment from Jing Jie. She had also followed Jing Jie into the World Championship. However, her skill level was much worse than Jing Jie's, so she had no chance to participate in this game's World Championship.
