Chapter 133 What a coincidence
In the dim alley, puddles reflected the dim yellow light of the streetlights, casting a faint glow.

Jiang Mian looked at the white fox youth and greeted him politely: "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Fox Nine felt that he looked extremely ugly at that moment, dirty and standing under a street lamp. Although the street lamp was dim, it still made him look ugly.

He swallowed hard to moisten his slightly dry throat, smiled brightly, and said loudly, "Dr. Jiang, what a coincidence!"

"Okay, I'll head back now." Jiang Mian nodded with a slight smile.

Fox Nine noticed that Jiang Mian was accompanied only by a robot. The outer city was still somewhat chaotic. If it were clean, he would have gladly escorted Jiang Mian back. However, Jiang Mian was filthy and reeked of garbage.

For the first time, he felt embarrassed.

Every time, she wanted to appear in front of Jiang Mian looking presentable, but each time she seemed to unexpectedly meet her in this dirty state.

The dirty white fox ears drooped slightly.

But he was still worried about Jiang Mian going home alone, so he said somewhat awkwardly, "Dr. Jiang, it's so late, it's not safe on the road, let me take you home."

"It's alright, no need. I have a robot, it's very powerful. It just helped me drive away a lot of people." Jiang Mian waved her hand and gently declined, "Thank you for your kindness."

She glanced at the other person's trash bag and quickly looked away.

He was probably stealing trash just now.

Why did you throw it away now? Don't you want that trash anymore?
Jiang Mian had just heard what he said; the young man with the white fox must be making a living by scavenging for garbage.

He must be quite busy now.

"Dr. Jiang, you don't need to be so polite. I have plenty of time right now. I haven't thanked you yet for treating my brother last time. Let me take you home," Hu Jiu said warmly as always.

Actually, they paid for her treatment last time, and she received treatment in return, so they were even.

However, looking at Hu Jiu's expression, Jiang Mian knew that if she kept making excuses, it would take a lot more time.

Jiang Mian didn't like people who talked back and forth; she felt it was a waste of time. After a moment of silence, she said, "Okay, thank you."

"No trouble at all!" Fox Nine's amber eyes suddenly lit up.

Jiang Mian took the lead and walked forward, with the robot Xiao Rong following beside her.

She took a few steps and realized that the orc who had said he would take her back hadn't followed.

Jiang Mian stopped in her tracks and turned around in confusion. She saw Hu Jiu standing a considerable distance away from her. Hu Jiu seemed to notice that she had stopped and quickly asked, "Dr. Jiang, what's wrong? Why did you stop?"

His voice was cheerful and pleasant, and one could hear the bright and lively tone in it.

"You, you're so far away, are you going to take me back?" Jiang Mian asked after a moment of silence.

Fox Nine's amber eyes flickered slightly. He was dirty and smelled of garbage, so naturally he didn't dare to get too close to Jiang Mian, who was clean.

“That’s right! Because it’s good this way, it’s good to observe the surroundings, yes! That’s it!” Fox Nine answered as if she had finally found a reason and immediately said it.

He himself affirmed his reasons.

Jiang Mian:......

Is it really?

How could she see the other person's restless hands? Actually, she felt that all professions were the same, and all cells had the same lifespan, only a hundred years or so; no one was more precious than another.

However, the young man with the white fox seemed somewhat ashamed of his scavenging.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have panicked for a moment just now.

Jiang Mian was wrong. Hu Jiu never felt inferior about picking up trash. After all, all the trash in that area belonged to him. He was the trash master of that area!
But when faced with the clean and beautiful Jiang Mian, Hu Jiu felt for the first time like a rat picking through garbage in the sewers, unworthy of her, which is why she felt so helpless.

Jiang Mian glanced at the white fox youth in the distance, who was grinning and showing eight white teeth. He was dirty all over, which made his teeth look even whiter under the light.

Yeah, it's kind of silly and funny.

She gave a slight smile, but ultimately said nothing, slowly turned around, and continued on her way back.

So Jiang Mian walked ahead with his robot, while Hu Jiu followed at a distance.

Finally, Jiang Mian returned to the front of her small building. She stopped at the door and looked at the white-skinned young man. She saw him raise his arm and wave to her, his eight white teeth showing as he grinned. "Dr. Jiang, you're home. I'll be going now!"

"Okay!" Jiang Mian responded with a slightly louder voice.

Fox Nine went back.

After he returned, he watched as Seventh Brother slowly ate his hard bread and played with his personal terminal. He put down the trash bag in his hand, paused for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I don't want to pick up trash anymore."

Fox Seven, who was eating bread, paused for a moment, but quickly continued eating without looking up. He simply asked, "So what do you want to do? Or rather, what can you do?"

The two brothers were beast slaves from a young age and worked in a junkyard. They received little education. Later, they regained their status as free beastmen, but it seems that they did nothing but work with junk.

Fox Nine fell silent. Yes, what could he do? He didn't know how to do anything glamorous. Apart from picking up trash and his brute strength, he seemed to have no other skills.
He didn't speak, so Fox Seven slowly said, "I'm planning to continue dealing with garbage, but instead of picking up garbage myself, I'm going to open a garbage dump, be my own boss, and hire people to do it. If you have any ideas..." you can come and work with me.

However, he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"I don't want to deal with garbage anymore!" Fox Nine refused outright.

The landfill owner is also involved with garbage!
Fox Seven paused for a moment, then said nothing more, offering no advice or encouragement, simply stating, "Whatever you say."

Fox Nine silently began to ponder deeply.

Jiang Mian, who had already returned to the small building, was naturally unaware of the conversation between the White Fox brothers.

Tonight was supposed to be the time for the other party to warm the bed, but Jiang Mian didn't really want to. He had originally planned to tell the other party not to warm the bed tonight, but unexpectedly, the other party had something to do and couldn't come back to warm the bed tonight.

She was happy to be all alone.

Jiang Mian returned to the courtyard to continue the remaining experiments and tests.

Starting new ventures requires some new medicinal plants, some gelsedge.

She searched on her personal computer and found that there was gel grass in the White Moon Forest, so she could go pick it tomorrow.

Lin Xuan's news also popped up at this time.

Lin Xuan: I'm so sorry tonight. I didn't expect my parents, who were assigning me a partner, to be so prejudiced against me. But they left after dinner, so don't worry about it. I won't be affected by them. We're still best friends.

Lin Xuan: I don't believe the things about you on the StarNet. I only believe the time I spent with you. I'll invite you out sometime as an apology.
