章 97: Volume 2, Chapter 34: Conversation with Mrs. Tu

I came down from the rooftop at six o'clock and left home at eight, just two hours apart, but already I noticed many people in the community gossiping about me. It seems that in a country like China, where mass entertainment is scarce, gossip is a national pastime, and news spreads incredibly fast.

"Hey, little Xin darling, what color of panties are you wearing today?" A figure suddenly appeared beside me—it was none other than Mrs. Tu, without a doubt.

"Up so early today?" I asked, nonchalantly looking around.

Since there were men pursuing me at the moment, and not just one, the few rascally friends who had initially promised to drive me to work had voluntarily ceased this privilege. In other words, unless I wanted to catch three buses and a subway, I needed to hail a taxi to get to the office. There was no private car to enjoy.
