Chapter 31: The Swim

Chapter 31

On the smelly bus covered in sweat front and back, Su Xiaoqi had a bright smile on her face. The people on either side inexplicably felt the stench lessen somewhat. The curses quieted a bit.

"Dammit, don't crowd me, don't you see there's a young girl back here!"

Su Xiaoqi kept foolishly smiling.

Three level progression system, walking 20,000 steps a day, 0.3 yuan per step, that's 6,000 yuan a day, so 18,000 per month, 180,000, one hundred and eighty thousand.

What does 180,000 represent?

For the villagers of Gumula Village, some people probably don't earn that much in their lifetime.

Su Xiaoqi felt her legs tremble from excitement.

Just then the bus pulled into a stop.

With a crash, Su Xiaoqi was thrown to the front of the bus by inertia.

Though the bus had been quite crowded just before, for some reason, everyone neatly moved aside when she fell. As a result, she accidentally fell right next to the seat she had given up to someone else earlier. Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

The pregnant woman she had given up her seat for did not expect the young girl to give up her seat, only to get pushed to the back and even fall over from standing.

Seeing she had fallen quite hard, long eyelashes, and very young age. Felt extremely distressed.

She was about to have a child herself, truly hoped she could have a girl as well, and feel as distressed for her.

"Young miss, thank you for giving up your seat for me. If not for you giving up your seat, you wouldn't have fallen. I'm going to the hospital, just two more stops. Otherwise I can stand for a bit, you can have a seat."

Su Xiaoqi waved her hands again and again.

Hearing the pregnant woman's words, everyone else looked approvingly at the young girl.

Such a petite young girl with a huge schoolbag on her back, yet still giving up her seat for others. What a good child.

Of course there were also those who felt the young girl was too silly. If it was their own daughter, they wouldn't bear to have her give up her seat for others. She's still growing!

"I'm getting off at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital stop as well, it's nothing. Just now I was distracted for a moment and accidentally fell." Su Xiaoqi declined. How could she take back the seat she had already given up?

Still, there was an older lady next to her who gave up her seat for Su Xiaoqi, forcibly pulling her over.

"Young miss with such a big schoolbag, you have a seat, have a seat."

Su Xiaoqi felt somewhat dumbfounded as she was pushed into the seat.

She was somehow the one being offered a seat. It felt inexplicably like, doing good deeds wasn't so bad after all. Felt pretty good.

When they arrived at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital stop, Xiaoqi got off. The older lady then reclaimed her seat again. The pregnant lady also slowly made her way off the bus. The bus remained stopped for some time.

Seeing someone had come to get the pregnant lady, Su Xiaoqi didn't go over. She was in a great mood, and headed straight for her aunt's dorm.

Because there was only one bed in the dorm, she was worried Xiaoqi wouldn't be used to it. At night she specially took on looking after hospitalized patients so she could sleep in the wards most of the time.

They took the bus again at over 2 in the afternoon when the sun was highest.

Fortunately there weren’t many people outdoors this time. The bus was quite empty.

But Xiaoqi still felt taking a taxi would be better. Or a small vehicle.

However her current legitimate income was still too little. Reckless lifestyle inflation was still not good.

Zhang Juan was the prime example. When your capabilities and status don’t match the money you possess, people would become suspicious and even secretly try to uncover the truth. Not to mention others, even Xiaoqi herself harbored doubts about Zhang Juan, staring at her feed pondering for a long time.

Xiaoqi felt she needed to constantly improve herself before she could more rationally possess this money, and more justifiably spend this money.

Aunt and niece arrived at the sports complex.

Xiaoqi’s swimsuit was a gift from the membership card issuer, Little Wu, who had given it to her together in the package with the card.

She took a look at the size, S. Fits her perfectly.

She had never gone swimming before and also didn’t know where to buy swimwear. She was planning to just wear this first.

They first headed to the changing area together.

The swimsuit Xiaoqi received was just the most common kind. Two pieces. Tank style top, shorts bottom. Quite modest other than the exposed waist.

But she was unused to wearing so little. Still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Even when boarding at school, she usually went to shower at her aunt’s ward instead of with classmates.

Seeing all the pale flesh in the changing room, and no one looking at her, she adapted a little.

Then when she saw her aunt walk over after changing, Xiaoqi froze completely.

1.68 meters tall, 150 pounds. Her aunt wasn't the imagined lump of flesh mountain. Unexpectedly quite evenly robust andhusky overall.

Her aunt wore a one piece with seemingly developed muscles, feeling like some warrior.

Come to think of it, her aunt did move medical equipment and things like that at the hospital everyday. She was also frequently called over.

"What are you staring for, help me take the tag off."

Her aunt turned with her back facing Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi looked at the new tag on the swimsuit. Yeah, new clothes. Take off by hand? Won’t come off right, she couldn’t take off the tags on clothes she bought before.

But with a light tug, it snapped right off.

Forgot...she was a powerful ordinary human now.
