The Indifferent Young Master’s Flash Marriage - Chapter 522
Chapter 522: Knife Against The Neck
Su Wan was panting as she chased after the thief across three streets. The person who stole her wallet was a teenager who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old. Su Wan was angry and speechless at the same time.
Who would have thought that even though they were at a good age to study, they started a life of theft!
She really did not know what to say!
Su Wan secretly hated that she still had not learned the language here. She wanted to shout, “Catch the thief!” But she did not know what to say.
“Don’t run! Give me back my wallet!”
That was all she had. If she lost it just like that, would she have to sleep on the street with Nono three days later?!
Su Wan was burning with anxiety. She used all her strength and ran forward like a crazy person.
However, just as she was about to catch up, a large maglev car suddenly drove past her. Su Wan had no choice but to stop in her tracks.
When she looked again, there was no trace of that little bastard at all!
The street ahead was full of twists and turns. Who knew where the thief who stole the wallet went?!
Su Wan sighed in frustration and simply stopped chasing. She squatted down and rubbed her aching legs. Then, she had no choice but to walk toward the small hotel where she had paid the rent.
In order to avoid being tracked down, Su Wan had only paid for the hotel for three days. At that time, Su Wan was glad that the hotel was small and did not need an ID card. As long as she had money, she could stay there.
But now, she did not even get to buy the energy box for Nono’s battery. Now, she was penniless!
The money left in the hotel could at most support the nutrient supply for the next few days. Was she going to watch Nono continue to hibernate due to lack of energy?
In this unfamiliar time space, if it wasn’t for Nono’s company, Su Wan felt that she might have been sold to someone else as a slave.
Once Nono went into hibernation, she would not even have someone to chat with.
That feeling was like being in the vast sea. If she lost the last piece of driftwood, she would drown.
She had never been so afraid of being alone.
Su Wan slowly moved away, feeling that she was really unlucky.
No matter what, life had to go on. She had to at least keep herself and Nono alive.
Su Wan rubbed the silver ring on the ring finger of her left hand. The tiny diamond sparkled under the sunlight.
Su Wan pursed her lips and silently cheered herself on.
…
Three days later, Su Wan had to leave the hotel with Nono.
A small problem was enough to stump progress. The hotel also had to do business. It was impossible for a room to be left alone for Su Wan to live in for free.
However, the lady boss of the hotel was a kind person. She felt sorry for Su Wan, so she found a place for Su Wan that could make money and provide accommodation and food.
The ship that sailed from Baishan District to Fenglan Island every day was recruiting people because of the increase in passenger traffic in recent days.
For someone like Su Wan who could not shoulder or lift her hands, she could just be a waiter there to clean up the sundries.
Under the current circumstances, it wasn’t bad to have a place to stay. Su Wan immediately followed the lady boss’ instructions to apply for the job.
She did not expect that this job would require an identity card to prove her origin!
Su Wan stood in front of the old man in charge of the recruitment. She kept clenching her fingers, looking embarrassed and helpless.
“I lost my identity card and wallet. Could you be kind enough to take me in?”
The old man frowned when he heard that. Where did this dark and skinny girl learn the interstellar language?
Although he understood the meaning, why did it sound so awkward?!
The old man looked at Su Wan for a long time. He felt that this dark and weak-looking girl did not seem like a criminal, so he decided to keep her.
The old man glanced at Su Wan and said arrogantly.
“It’s okay if you want to stay, but your salary is half of the others’ . Moreover, you came here to work without an ID card. We all have to bear the risk for you. From now on, you can only live in the bottom of the passenger ship. You can’t go up there as you please.”
Su Wan looked at the lip translation that Nono synchronized and immediately nodded in surprise. She looked at the expression of the old man and thought that she had been rejected!
As long as she could stay, even if she had to pay a small price for it, what did it matter!
A little less money was nothing. At least the problem of food and accommodation had been solved. Su Wan did not care about other problems at all.
Su Wan nodded to the old man in surprise and involuntarily smiled.
“Thank you for taking me in!”
Seeing the smile on Su Wan’s face, the old man was startled. He could not help but look at Su Wan a few more times.
This girl’s eyes were really not bad. They were clear like a spring, so clear that it made one’s heart palpitate.
Moreover, when she smiled, she gave people a particularly comfortable feeling.
Such a beautiful pair of eyes, what a pity.
…
Su Wan immediately brought Nono to their new residence.
Just as Su Wan had expected, the environment in the lower cabin was indeed terrible. Originally, it was used to store sundries. After being uninhabited for a long time, it appeared damp and dirty.
However, the biggest advantage was that there was no one else here besides her and Nono. She usually communicated with Nono in Chinese, so it would not attract others’ attention.
Moreover, this house was not small. Su Wan felt that if she tidied up the sundries, she would be able to make a large space. It would be more than enough for three or four people.
With a place to stay, Su Wan was no longer as afraid of her future as she was before.
This job provided food and shelter. Su Wan used what she had left to buy Nono a cheap energy box. According to Nono, as long as she did not overuse it, it could last for more than a month.
As for working on the passenger ship, it was easier than Su Wan had imagined. Su Wan was mainly responsible for clearing and organizing the cargo on the second-to-last floor of the passenger ship.
With Nono around, it was like two people doing one person’s work. Su Wan often had more free time to learn the interstellar language from Nono.
If she wanted to find Jiang Xuecheng, she had to learn the language here seriously. Otherwise, everything would be awkward blabbering.
Even so, Su Wan did not dare to make Nono do too much. After all, the first month’s salary had not been paid yet. Su Wan was afraid that Nono’s energy would suddenly run out.
In a certain aspect, Nono was like a pillar that made Su Wan feel at ease. She needed Nono’s company.
…
After Su Wan finished counting goods for the day, she hummed a little tune that she made up and reached out to close the warehouse door that was filled with goods.
Su Wan locked the door of the warehouse. Just as she was about to turn around, a knife was suddenly pressed against her neck.
Su Wan’s body suddenly trembled, and her breathing stopped in an instant.
The night was extremely quiet. There was only a weak lamp that was emitting a dim light.
Her life was once again in the hands of someone. Su Wan did not dare to breathe loudly and could only try her best to remain calm.
In the quiet, Su Wan heard an extremely deep voice.
“Save me.”
