1355. Chapter 1355 Lan Xier Extra Story (11)
Because she can't drive, Lan Xi'er had to take the bus and subway when she was working.
It's just that in a sparsely populated place like Adelaide, public transportation is not as convenient as in China. Sometimes, it even takes an hour to wait for a bus.
As a result, she spends most of her time on the road. In addition, part-time work is very intensive, and I work two or three jobs at the same time, and sometimes I don't sleep for a few hours a day. As time went by, her body, which was not very good, gradually became unbearable.
It was during that time that Alex discovered her weakness and asked what was going on with concern. When he learned that Lan Xi'er had to wait for an hour for the bus every day, he offered to take her to and from get off work.
"No need, you have your own things to be busy with." Lan Xi'er knew that it was not easy for every foreign student here - except for the rich second generation.
A foreigner like Alex became completely independent when he was 18 years old. No matter how rich his family was, they would not subsidize him a penny. All living expenses were paid by himself.
But Alex insisted: "Xi'er, don't be polite to me, I'm on my way anyway. Your part-time job is about the same time as mine, and the location is not far away... Besides, it's true that you are a girl who leaves early and returns late. It’s not safe, it would be bad if some bad guys are watching.”
Facing his insistence, Lan Xi'er didn't have the nerve to refuse. And the latter security factor that Alex mentioned was indeed what she was worried about. Sometimes after get off work at night, she waits alone at the bus stop, especially in the middle of the night in winter. She is really a little scared.
"Then... I will trouble you." Lan Xi'er finally accepted his kindness.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, something happened...
It was a night in early spring, and the place where Lan Xi'er worked that night was a well-known bar in the circle of foreigners. Usually she is responsible for serving drinks and so on. Although she has to stay up late, the work intensity is not too high.
That night, she felt that something was wrong with her, she kept making mistakes, and she was in a daze. She didn't remember any of the things the guests ordered.
Fortunately, those were regular customers, and they didn't care too much about her, they just complained a little. Lan Xi'er smiled and apologized to them again and again, and it was over.
But when it was time to get off work, she was about to go home after serving the last table of guests, when she met a group of punks.
Those gangsters looked like they had just finished drinking or smoking du, and they were extremely excited. Singing and dancing in the bar, it's like clockwork and can't stop.
Usually, when Lan Xi'er encounters this kind of guests, she will deliberately lower her gaze and try not to meet their eyes, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
She was the same that night, but even so, the trouble found her.
"Hey, it doesn't look like this is what we ordered just now!" A boy with braids stopped her way, with a malicious smile on his face.
"I'm sorry, maybe I made a mistake." Lan Xi'er took a step back vigilantly, and apologized very sincerely. Because she knew that in this place, rebellious teenagers like this were the last thing to be messed with.
"Should I just apologize?" The boy moved closer to her, sized her up carefully, and spoke in a more frivolous tone, "Unless, if you accompany us for a few drinks, then forget it."
