89 Why Donât You Have an Ounce of Kindness?
The temperature outside had already reached-50 degrees Celsius. The cold wind outside carried snowflakes, and when they brushed past oneâs face, they were like sharp blades that caused one to feel pain.
The snow was not heavy that day, but due to the low temperature, every snowflake was frozen solid. Wang Tong was wrapped up tightly from head to toe, but she did not wear wind goggles, so her eyes were red from the snow, and she looked a little pitiful.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, her pitiful look did not move Du Yue in the slightest. She suppressed the displeasure in her heart and said indifferently, âYou again?â
Wang Tong did not answer Du Yueâs question immediately. Instead, she turned to look at He Xing. She looked at He Xing, who was holding a cup of hot water in his hand. He was drinking it leisurely with his eyes lowered. He seemed to have no intention of looking at her at all. Wang Tong then turned her gaze to Du Yue again. âIâm sorry to disturb you guys. Iâm Wang Tong, the one living on the sixth floor. We just met each other... in the corridor.â
âSo?â Du Yue interrupted her impatiently. âWhat do you want this time? If you have something to say, just say it. Donât try to get close to me.â
âI happened to smell the fragrance from your car. Did you bring any self-heating instant food? Can you exchange some with me?â
Du Yue did not quite understand Wang Tongâs brain structure, but the snow outside the window was already hurting her face. Du Yue picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth, then put her mask back on. She replied to Wang Tong with a cold word, âNo.â
Wang Tong did not expect Du Yue to reject her so directly. She suddenly became a little anxious, and her eyes were even stained with tears. âIâve been on my period these few days, and my stomach will hurt if I eat cold food. Weâre acquaintances, so why donât you have an ounce of kindness at all? At most, Iâll give you a box of self-heating instant food when we get back to the base. Canât you agree?â
âYou said youâll give me a box of it when we return. So, youâre saying that you have it at home too, but you didnât bring it out, right?â
âNo... I donât have it... at home.â
âIf you donât have it, what will you be giving me?â
âI have compressed biscuits! Iâll take two bags in exchange for one serving!â As Wang Tong spoke, she took out two bags of compressed biscuits from her pocket. âTwo bags of biscuits cost quite a lot of contribution points. You wonât lose out. These are special circumstances for me now. Iâll be very uncomfortable if I eat something cold. Weâre both girls, so you should understand my situation, right? Iâll have to trouble you to help me. â
When she heard this, Du Yue could not help but sneer. âYouâre guilt-tripping the wrong person here. Weâre both girls, so donât act all two-faced in front of me. I wonât buy it. Since you said that youâre feeling so uncomfortable as youâre on your period, why didnât you just stay in the base? Since you decided to do missions to earn contribution points, why didnât you prepare some self-heating instant food in advance? Theyâre all sold in the supermarket at the base, but you didnât buy them. Now, youâre guilt-tripping me to force me to exchange with you. Your wishful thinking is too much. Whether you feel uncomfortable or whether your stomach hurts has nothing to do with me. Youâre an adult now, and youâre the only one who should be responsible for your own decisions. Others have no obligation to care for you.â
Du Yue finished her speech in one breath and closed the window. After the window was closed, the cold wind and snow outside were blocked. Wang Tongâs expression could not be seen clearly. Du Yue could not be bothered to look at her expression either and turned her head to the side. She turned around and saw He Xing looking at her in shock. âWhatâs wrong?â
He Xing came back to his senses and shook his head repeatedly. âNothing. I just felt that your words just now...â
âWhatâs wrong with what I said?â
âThey were simply too straightforward! Didnât you see how her face darkened bit by bit as you spoke? It was so funny.â
Du Yue looked at He Xingâs serious face. After a while, she said with a complicated expression, âIâll take it that youâre complimenting me.â
He Xing shook his head. âNo, no, Iâm indeed complimenting you! You were so cool just now! So incredibly cool!â
âThank you...â Du Yue could not help but ask when she saw He Xingâs excited face, âMany guys like weak girls. That kind of girl can make guys want to protect her. Why are you different?â
He Xing smiled and said, âOnly a man with no ability will find a sense of accomplishment in being with a weak woman. I prefer a partner who can fight alongside me. â
