A faint sound of someone closing the lipstick cap caught Shao Chen's ear, who was still sleeping on the bed without being covered by any thread. He turned his body while trying to sleep again but the sound of something being scrambled and colliding with one another keep disturbing him.
"So noisy…," Shao Chen muttered, finally woke up completely. He gave a small yawn while rubbing his eyes.
"Oh … Ah* Chen, you wake up? I have to go to the office now. You can buy breakfast in the store nearby. I have put your pocket money on the table in the living room," The woman exclaimed, still focusing on the mirror to final check her makeup. She immediately took her bag and ran out of the bedroom.
*) Ah : Usually used in China as a prefix to call the name of someone who is closed with them. For example, one's name is Meili, then you can call her Ah Li
"Alright," Shao Chen said while waving his hand. He chuckled like a fool, to be more precise, not like, but indeed a fool.
Shao Chen, if described concisely, was a handsome idiot man who loved money and stingy.
Why so?
Because, when viewed from his physique, he was 175 cm tall, his black hair was smooth and slightly curly, his moss-green eyes were always shining brightly, his nose was sharp, his smiling lips were thin and pink, his face was sharp but his cheeks were slightly chubby, and his skin was smooth and fair. In short, he was perfect! But not with his brain….
Raised in a poor family, he had lived with limitations. His parents' health was bad and they were unable to send Shao Chen to school. So, he never went to any school to study.
In such circumstances, the only thing his parents taught him was, "If there is money, save them and when there is something or someone that can be used to fund for his life, make use of them." So, he grew up to be a handsome, uneducated man who could only count money.
At last, his brain was only used to remember everything about money. No storage for anything else.
Hence, except money, he would always forget anything in a second, such as sentences he had read so that he could not read until now, the name of the streets, the direction of the road that he always walked, the name of the shops nearby, and many more. All of them would never stick in his brain. Even he couldn't recall the name of the woman that had funded him for one week.
Shao Chen got up from the bed and started wandering around naked, looking for the place where that woman stored her drinking water. Even this trivial thing that essential for his living never stick in his brain. So, every time he needed water, he had to search for a long time.
In the past, before his parents died, they had given up their money once just to check whether there was damage in their child's brain. However, the doctor said that Shao Chen's brain was fine. Maybe this was just the result of the child's lack of interest in other things or the capacity of his brain was just too small. Dunno … even the doctor couldn't provide a proper diagnosis for Shao Chen's idiocy.
Shao Chen pulled the towel and started taking a shower. After putting on his clothes, he sat on the sofa in the living room, doing nothing. His eyes were empty and his mouth was open. What an expression that squandered that diamond-like beauty!
That was what he always did in his daily life. Waking up, sitting dumbfounded, or counting the money that he had saved until nights fall. When the woman came home, they would have sex. Continuously repeated every day.
Didn't he have a job?
This was indeed his job! By getting a place to live and eat in exchange for sexual gratification.
He started this job when he was sixteen as his parents died. At that time, he who was starving was finally picked up by a woman who happened to be passing by. He learned this job from that woman and he felt very lucky because by doing this, he was able to save any money that was given to him to buy food.
For eating itself, he had no trouble even though he didn't use the money. Just opened the refrigerator and he could take whatever in it to filling his stomach. If there was nothing in there, he was willing to starve to save the money.
In the long run, the woman's life became more difficult. Like it was not difficult enough, Shao Chen would sneakily look for the woman's thrift box and took all of the money. Finally, the woman was completely broke and kicked him out.
However, Shao Chen, who already knew the pleasure of this job, no longer looked for a decent job and instead took the same method to deceive other women and continuously repeated.
This woman he had been staying with for one week had become the umpteenth woman. With the large number of women he had deceived, Shao Chen's wealth was already abundant. However, besides being stupid, he was a cheapskate. So, he wouldn't use a penny of that money no matter what.
His principle was that it is better to die than to spend money.
What a fool!
However, karma did exist. That was what would happen to Shao Chen after he was kicked out again.
Shao Chen returned to his usual spot to attract women and waiting for his prey. Suddenly, a woman stopped in front of him.
Shao Chen looked at the woman with sparkling puppy eyes. "I Don't have a home. Do you want to pick me up?" he asked like an abandoned puppy.
The woman smiled. "Sure, handsome," she said.
Shao Chen followed her happily. They kept on walking until they left the busy street and started to enter a narrow alley.
At a time like this, because it had to do with money, Shao Chen's brain suddenly became brilliant. He saw the narrow, shabby alley and could estimate how big the woman's pockets. If she didn't have a lot of money, Shao Chen would not make any profit.
Just as Shao Chen wanted to reject the woman and return to his usual spot, something cold and sharp stabbed his stomach!
