My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 281 - 11 Motion Sickness

At the end of October, Lin Xiaoguai and Zhu Huixi received some local specialties and a recent photo sent by Yang Xiaoli.

The photo’s backdrop was a backward township. Yang Xiaoli was dressed in a dark blue sweatshirt and long pants, her hair wrapped in a scarf, holding a seven or eight-year-old boy, whose skin had tanned significantly, and in his brows lingered a faint melancholy, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

"That’s wonderful," Zhu Huixi said with teary eyes.

Lin Xiaoguai smiled and curled the corners of her mouth. Yes, that was wonderful.

She believed that time was the best medicine and that one day, Yang Xiaoli would be able to shake off the shadow of that past relationship and find her own happiness.

Before long, Yang Xiaoli’s call came through.

"How is it, did you receive everything?" Yang Xiaoli’s voice carried a hint of laughter.

"Received them. Are you working in the township now?" Lin Xiaoguai asked curiously.

"No," Yang Xiaoli laughed, "I’m working at a cinema in the provincial city. I plan on starting my own business once I’ve saved enough money in these next few years."

"Starting a business?" Lin Xiaoguai was very surprised when she heard that. Nowadays, although millionaires were obviously in enviable positions, they were often looked down upon, and people usually wouldn’t choose to start a business unless they had no other options. And Yang Xiaoli was a college graduate; in today’s society, where talent is scarce, finding a job wasn’t difficult.

"Yes," Yang Xiaoli’s voice was exceptionally calm, "It’s a decision I’ve made after long consideration. Because I come from poverty, Su Cheng’s mother looked down on me. To be honest, I care a lot, very much so, and I also can’t accept it. I can’t change where I come from, as that’s an established fact, but in the future, my own future, my children’s future, I can’t let them endure the same suffering as I did."

"After all, aside from having a pair of powerful parents, Su Cheng isn’t better than me. Yet just because I don’t have respectable parents, in the eyes of others, I’m not suited for Su Cheng, and his mother has the right to mock me for coveting their family’s wealth."

"Perhaps, even if I become the richest person in the country, in Su Cheng’s mother’s eyes, I’ll still be of humble origin and still unworthy of her precious son. But that’s not an excuse for me not to work hard. I want to prove my worth and show that I’m no less than those born with a silver spoon."

Yang Xiaoli’s tone was firm, filled with resolute determination.

Lin Xiaoguai was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, unsure whether to feel happy or sad for Yang Xiaoli.

From start to finish, she had not specifically mentioned Su Cheng, but Lin Xiaoguai didn’t think Yang Xiaoli had let go of him. More likely, the existence of Su Cheng had been deeply buried by Yang Xiaoli, henceforth affecting her life.

She was positively looking forward to her future career, not because she had moved on, but because her love had already quieted down.

"Well said!" Zhu Huixi hadn’t grasped the profound meanings in Yang Xiaoli’s words and snatched the phone, saying, "You’re doing great, Xiao Li. I support you! When you become a wealthy woman in the future, I’m definitely going to observe Old Lady Su’s expression. What’s Su Cheng anyway? It’s not like he’s the only man in the world!"

Yang Xiaoli on the other end of the phone merely laughed without a word, while Lin Xiaoguai’s face grew somber, realizing it wasn’t just her overthinking.

When Zhu Huixi left, it was still early. Lin Xiaoguai thought for a moment and decided to go out. She planned to buy a camera to give to Little Niangao’s homeroom teacher, asking the teacher to take more photos of Little Niangao during the school outing. freēnovelkiss.com

Actually, there was a camera at home, but although it looked the same as the ones sold outside, it was merely a facade; the inside was a product of Alien Civilization. Whether it was black and white or color photos, it could take them and didn’t require washing, similar to Polaroid cameras of the future, but without the need for expensive photo paper.

It wasn’t that she was stingy; if such a camera were handed out and any mishap exposed its secret, it would be bad. To be on the safe side, she still decided to go buy another camera.

She didn’t know much about cameras, and in the end, she chose the model recommended by the salesperson, also buying two rolls of black-and-white film.

After leaving the department store, Lin Xiaoguai boarded a bus. Since it wasn’t rush hour, the bus was quite empty. She chose a seat near the front window and sat down.

The bus hadn’t gone far when Lin Xiaoguai slightly furrowed her brow, pressing her hand against her chest with some confusion.

It felt so uncomfortable... a stifling sensation, wanting to vomit, with a particularly unpleasant churning in her stomach.

She found it strange as she wasn’t prone to motion sickness... A scent of gasoline infiltrated her nostrils. It seemed the bus had a slight oil leak. Could that be why she felt motion sick?
