89 Why Don’t You Have an Ounce of Kindness?

The temperature outside had already reached-50 degrees Celsius. The cold wind outside carried snowflakes, and when they brushed past one’s face, they were like sharp blades that caused one to feel pain.

The snow was not heavy that day, but due to the low temperature, every snowflake was frozen solid. Wang Tong was wrapped up tightly from head to toe, but she did not wear wind goggles, so her eyes were red from the snow, and she looked a little pitiful.

However, her pitiful look did not move Du Yue in the slightest. She suppressed the displeasure in her heart and said indifferently, “You again?”

Wang Tong did not answer Du Yue’s question immediately. Instead, she turned to look at He Xing. She looked at He Xing, who was holding a cup of hot water in his hand. He was drinking it leisurely with his eyes lowered. He seemed to have no intention of looking at her at all. Wang Tong then turned her gaze to Du Yue again. “I’m sorry to disturb you guys. I’m Wang Tong, the one living on the sixth floor. We just met each other… in the corridor.”

“So?” Du Yue interrupted her impatiently. “What do you want this time? If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t try to get close to me.”

“I happened to smell the fragrance from your car. Did you bring any self-heating instant food? Can you exchange some with me?”

Du Yue did not quite understand Wang Tong’s brain structure, but the snow outside the window was already hurting her face. Du Yue picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth, then put her mask back on. She replied to Wang Tong with a cold word, “No.”

Wang Tong did not expect Du Yue to reject her so directly. She suddenly became a little anxious, and her eyes were even stained with tears. “I’ve been on my period these few days, and my stomach will hurt if I eat cold food. We’re acquaintances, so why don’t you have an ounce of kindness at all? At most, I’ll give you a box of self-heating instant food when we get back to the base. Can’t you agree?”

“You said you’ll give me a box of it when we return. So, you’re saying that you have it at home too, but you didn’t bring it out, right?”

“No… I don’t have it… at home.”

“If you don’t have it, what will you be giving me?”

“I have compressed biscuits! I’ll take two bags in exchange for one serving!” As Wang Tong spoke, she took out two bags of compressed biscuits from her pocket. “Two bags of biscuits cost quite a lot of contribution points. You won’t lose out. These are special circumstances for me now. I’ll be very uncomfortable if I eat something cold. We’re both girls, so you should understand my situation, right? I’ll have to trouble you to help me. ”

When she heard this, Du Yue could not help but sneer. “You’re guilt-tripping the wrong person here. We’re both girls, so don’t act all two-faced in front of me. I won’t buy it. Since you said that you’re feeling so uncomfortable as you’re on your period, why didn’t you just stay in the base? Since you decided to do missions to earn contribution points, why didn’t you prepare some self-heating instant food in advance? They’re all sold in the supermarket at the base, but you didn’t buy them. Now, you’re guilt-tripping me to force me to exchange with you. Your wishful thinking is too much. Whether you feel uncomfortable or whether your stomach hurts has nothing to do with me. You’re an adult now, and you’re the only one who should be responsible for your own decisions. Others have no obligation to care for you.”

Du Yue finished her speech in one breath and closed the window. After the window was closed, the cold wind and snow outside were blocked. Wang Tong’s expression could not be seen clearly. Du Yue could not be bothered to look at her expression either and turned her head to the side. She turned around and saw He Xing looking at her in shock. “What’s wrong?”

He Xing came back to his senses and shook his head repeatedly. “Nothing. I just felt that your words just now…”

“What’s wrong with what I said?”

“They were simply too straightforward! Didn’t you see how her face darkened bit by bit as you spoke? It was so funny.”

Du Yue looked at He Xing’s serious face. After a while, she said with a complicated expression, “I’ll take it that you’re complimenting me.”

He Xing shook his head. “No, no, I’m indeed complimenting you! You were so cool just now! So incredibly cool!”

“Thank you…” Du Yue could not help but ask when she saw He Xing’s excited face, “Many guys like weak girls. That kind of girl can make guys want to protect her. Why are you different?”

He Xing smiled and said, “Only a man with no ability will find a sense of accomplishment in being with a weak woman. I prefer a partner who can fight alongside me. “
