Chereads / Selena's Rebirth Diary / Chapter 7 - Conflict with Lucio

Chapter 7 - Conflict with Lucio

Seeing the anger in Lucio's eyes and the smell of his sweat in the air, Selena felt like she had entered some animal's territory, did not dare to move. She had no choice but to stiffly turn her head and pass the thing in her hand to him. 

She tried her best to smile as brightly as possible and said: "Your dry breads are not enough for you. This is for food. Here you go... just take it. you're hungry. It can fill your stomach..."

Anyone under that unkind look would feel nervous, their scalp would be numb, their heartbeat would speed up, their speech would stutter, and their eyes would dodge. Others would probably faint from fright. The scars on his face were even more terrifying up close.

When Lucio saw her look and heard her words again, his eyes that were already full of anger were about to burst into flames. He knocked over the unsightly pastry package in front of him with one palm. Thinking of the insulting words she had said before, he was so angry that his eyes almost burst into flames. 

He gritted his teeth for a long time before holding back his anger and squeezing out a sound from his throat. He said: "Don't worry, even if I, Lucio, go to beg for food, I will never ask for alms from you!" After saying that, he stopped drinking water and stood up, ready to turn around and leave.

Selena suffered a lot in her last life and was often beaten. When Lucio reached out and slapped the pastry package off, she opened her eyes wide, covered her head, and took two quick steps back in fear. When Lucio stood up, she took several steps back. After being frightened, she saw that Lucio didn't seem to rush forward to hit her, but turned to leave. Her beating heart slowly calmed down, and she felt a little inexplicable for a while.

This person was too petty, and that day It was just a few angry words. She took the initiative to ask for peace today and he didn't appreciate it, and he wanted to hit someone. It was really bad. She, is not a person with no temper. She couldn't hold back the words she thought of and said it impulsively.

"Oh, if you are so self-respecting, why are you still here eating steamed dry bread? Although what I said is a bit offensive, it is also the truth. You don't think of ways to restore the glory of your family but you come here to do this It's a manual job, if your parents find out about it, they will be mad at you even if they are not dead."

Thinking of this man in his previous life who had never married a wife in his thirties and had always been single, his eyes suddenly moved and she added in a low voice: "You can't even eat, what else can you be so cruel about? Someone like you You deserve to be unable to find a wife for the rest of your life..."

This sentence was obviously heard by Lucio. He turned around suddenly and the veins on his arms squirmed violently. Selena was so frightened that she didn't dare to say any more. She took two steps back and didn't care about anything else. Holding up her skirt, she turned around and ran, after a while his figure disappeared in the corner.

At this time, two men who were also carrying stones poked their heads out. One of them looked at the shapeless pastry that had been thrown to the ground, and immediately licked his mouth greedily. He knew at a glance that it was an expensive pastry. Lucio was really lucky , here was such a beautiful girl coming to give him pastry, it was so infuriating. 

But since this thing was thrown away, they probably didn't want it. The two guyes immediately picked up the pastry paper bag, "Huh? What's this." One person touched something and opened it to take a look.

"Oh, it's the girl's sachet." After saying that, he took it to her nose and smelled it. "It also has the floral fragrance of jasmine. It smells so good..." The two people's eyes were shining, and they were about to open it and take a look. Look, at this moment, a hand suddenly came over and snatched away the sachet, "Don't make any crooked ideas, this is not your thing." After saying this, Lucio, who had already put on his clothes, looked at it coldly. They glanced at each other, then he turned and left holding the sachet.

The two of them rolled their eyes and muttered at Lucio's back. Seeing him taking a few steps and carefully putting the sachet in his hand into his inner pocket, they couldn't help but smile mischievously, "I heard that Lucio has a fiancée whom he has arranged for early. I didn't expect it to be true, but with his scary look, the little girl doesn't want him yet. Don't think we didn't hear what the little lady said - you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life, haha."

The two gloated and opened the paper package, and sure enough, the cakes were all broken."This is red date cake. Fortunately, the oil paper is not broken. Just pinch it with hands and eat it."

After saying that, the two of them hurriedly pinched up a few pieces of pastry crumbs and ate, praising how delicious it wasand said:

"Lucio's fiancée, to be honest, is really pretty, with fair skin, red lips and bright eyes.Don't know whose daughter she is. even if she rolls her eyes at me every day, I will be happy..."

"Haha, are you daydreaming?"

Selena ran all the way back to the grocery store. Jose was looking around anxiously at the door. When he saw his daughter, he immediately strode in her direction. Selena slowed down and looked back quietly. It seemed that no one was catching up. She breathed a sigh of relief, put down the hem of his skirt slightly, then took a deep breath, suppressed the breath she had been panting from running just now, reached out to pull the folds on her skirt, and then greeted her father with a smile.

"Where were you just now..." 

Jose, who had always doted on his daughter, couldn't help but blame her when he got anxious.

"Dad..." 

Selena explained hurriedly, "I just saw a poor beggar in the corner over there, so I gave him the red date cake you bought for me. You won't blame me, dad?"

"Ah..." 

Jose felt a little distressed. The red date cake also costs seven or eight copper coins. If you pity the beggar, you can just give him one or two copper coins or two pieces of bread. However, seeing the expectant smile on his daughter's face, he held the blame back, so he had to say:

"Don't you want to buy a few small bottles of essential oils? This shop has them. Let's go in and pick out that you like..."

"Okay." 

Selena responded with a smile. When she saw her father turning around and entering the store, she exhaled slightly. She was a little annoyed and felt that things seemed to be getting worse. She had forgot to get the hundred copper coins back, but she couldn't go back now. Things have been said and done, so Selena had to pick herself up again and follow Jose into the shop.
