Chapter 28: Trading Markets
The base has not been put into use for a long time, but it is actually much better than the situation in Nanshan they have heard about.
Chi Yue thought so.
She lowered her eyes and watched Wen Qizhou unscrew the lock cylinder that had obviously been replaced, push the door open and enter the one-bedroom suite.
The layout of the suite is exactly the same as the picture.
The furniture is complete, the doors and windows are intact, and the entrance to the base can be seen at a glance through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the view is considered wide.
They rolled up their sleeves and cleaned the suite, took out the mattress from the space, placed it on the two-meter empty bed board, covered the bed screen with a cover, and laid out the four-piece bed set.
After finishing everything, I spread a cotton blanket on the sofa, closed the small window for ventilation, and sat down to rest for a while.
Wen Qizhou took two sips of tea and glanced at the life manual beside him: "I saw in the manual that the trading market will provide a job search service. Let's go there tomorrow and ask?"
"Looking for Su Linhao?"
"Yeah." Even though Chi Yue had taken revenge, he still didn't want to let go of the person who tried to bully her.
Chi Yue has no objection.
Seeing that his eyes were as dark as black clouds, she raised her chin, like a concubine who confuses the king to commit murder, and kissed him on the lips as if she was parting: "When you kill him, I will give you a reward."
"What kind of reward?"
"Of course -" she deliberately prolonged her voice, covered his ear, and lightly opened her lips: "The kind you want."
Hearing Qizhou raised his eyebrows slightly.
He stared at the apricot eyes that seemed to be squinting at him, and the hand that hugged the thin waist slowly moved upwards, his palm caressed her spine, fell on the skin of the back of her neck, and pushed forward slightly.
As the distance between them narrowed, he closed his eyes slightly to feel the intertwined breaths, the tip of his nose brushed against her smooth skin, and he slowly and slowly covered the lips that teased his heartstrings.
A "Okay" escaped his lips.
Chi Yue's ears tingled when she heard the mute low voice, and she allowed herself to be immersed in the tenderness he gave her.
Until the feeling of suffocation hit her, she pushed his shoulders twice, opened her eyes filled with thin water vapor, and turned her head to avoid the web full of affection and ambiguity that he had woven with his own hands.
She leaned in Wen Qizhou's arms, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and calmed down her heartbeat that was beating against her chest like a deer.
"嗞──嗞嗞──"
The sudden sound of electricity broke the silence.
A female voice with a clear accent reached everyone's ears through the base's speakers.
"Emergency notice: From the 15th to the 21st of this month, strong convective weather will occur in the area under our city's jurisdiction, accompanied by short-term heavy rainfall, hail and thunderstorm gusts. All residents of the base are asked to take precautions and stay away from trees and fragile objects.
Taste!"
What she reported was like a stone hitting a calm lake, causing ripples that could not be ignored.
The residents of the base were wailing.
Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou were much calmer.
They closed the blackout curtains installed in the evening, used batteries to power floor lamps, plugged the USB flash drive storing movies and TV series into the computer, and watched the show while eating dinner.
The drama being played is extremely bloody.
The story begins with the male protagonist cheating on his wife's best friend, but he accidentally discovers that both his wife and her best friend are transgender.
When the two transsexuals were jealous of him and slapped each other, he continued to cheat and met new transsexuals.
Wen Qizhou: "..."
Looking at the extremely poor acting and frequent slap scenes, he was really curious: "How many episodes does this show have?"
"Sixty-nine."
"...It's all about cheating on transsexuals?"
"No." Chi Yue turned her head and was amused by his speechless expression: "When I was thinking about it, I looked at the suspense reasoning in the introduction, and there should be a plot to solve the case."
"Cracked the case? I can't tell."
"Thai dramas are very slow." She didn't like watching Slap, so she moved the mouse to close the page: "I'll try another one."
The new drama is still a suspense drama, but it is obviously much more normal than the messy plot about a transsexual cheating on someone.
They were attracted by the exciting plot and followed the show until two in the morning, then moved to the double bed and fell asleep hugging each other.

At noon, the sun pours down.
The trading market is quite lively with people coming and going. The figures reflected on the ground are elongated by the golden light, sometimes overlapping and scattered, making it difficult to distinguish whose shadow is whose.
Wen Qizhou and Chi Yue followed the flow of people forward, looking around all the way, their eyes wandering over the shops and stalls.
The shops are officially owned and sell furniture, daily necessities, clothing, seasonings, fast food and other items; the listed stalls are privately owned, and most of them adopt the barter method.
He saw a stall dedicated to searching for people, took Chi Yue's hand and asked the stall owner: "How much supplies should I collect from looking for someone?"
"How many do you want?"
"one."
"One is a supply of 80 points." The stall owner patted his chest: "My buddy has been professionally looking for people for thirty years. As long as you give accurate information, I will definitely find them for you within three days!"
"What if I can't find it?"
"I won't take any money from you if you can't find it!" He bit open the cap of his ballpoint pen and said, "I'm a real man, I won't trick you."
Wen Qizhou didn't worry too much.
After all, the base only provides services for finding immediate family members. If you want to find Su Linhao, you still have to deal with the stall owner.
He told Su Linhao's characteristics and took out half of his points as a deposit: "I'll come find you in three days."
"Okay." He nodded with a smile.
They continued to move forward under the watch of the stall owner, dazzled by the various gadgets on the stall.
Chi Yue stopped in front of the aromatherapy stall.
The seller of aromatherapy should be a pregnant woman. Her sign says that one box of folic acid or vitamin E can be exchanged for six boxes of aromatherapy essential oil.
She happened to have them all in her space.
When Wen Qizhou was first asked to buy medicine, he considered all aspects, including family planning supplies and special medicines for pregnant women.
"Can you choose the scent at will? Or is it fixed?" She lowered her eyes and looked at the aromatherapy essential oils piled on the table.
"Pick whatever you want!" The pregnant mother's eyes lit up as she caressed her belly: "What flavors do you want? I'll help you pack it."
"Take three boxes each of green bamboo and cedar." She never liked strong fragrances, and something more elegant would be better.
After the pregnant mother packed six intact boxes of aromatherapy essential oils, she took out 30 tablets of folic acid and placed them on the table.
"Thank you!" The pregnant mother clutched the folic acid tightly and gave her an aromatherapy pendant: "It's so hard to find folic acid now. If I trade it with you for the aromatherapy, I'm taking advantage of you."
"Exchanging things for things doesn't mean taking advantage?" No matter what kind of environment we are in, there are always groups with more resources than others.
There is no market for aromatherapy.
The pregnant mother smiled honestly: "That's what I say, but in my heart I always feel that you are at a loss."
"It's not a loss, I don't need it either." Now that she can't even see the future clearly, how can she and Wen Qizhou have a baby.
Chapter completed!
