Chapter 929: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon-Discovered (14)
No wonder he could get fifty dollars for standing for two hours! This was simply not a weight and heat that ordinary people could endure!
The weather in Boston in September was still 27 degrees Celsius. It was still very stuffy in the evening. Zuo Yue, Julie, and Vina were all wearing big and heavy cartoon costumes. However, these cartoon costumes were very thick and heavy. There were only two small holes in front of their noses and eyes that could be seen outside. They could only breathe and see outside through these two holes.
It was so hot!
Julie was wearing a big Bikachu and holding a plate of various small foods for others to try. Vina was wearing Doraemon and doing the same.
On the other hand, Zuo Yue was wearing a big-headed Alalei, which pressed down on her waist so much that she could not straighten her back. However, for the sake of the fifty dollars that she could earn in these two hours, she endured it!
” Hi, beautiful lady. Come and try the crispy fried prawns from our cartoon restaurant.”
“Hello, little friend. Do you want to come and eat this little donut? It’s very delicious. This is the dessert that our cartoon restaurant is promoting ~”
“Hello, sir. This is our latest product…”
At the center of the commercial street, a few large and comical cartoon characters were promoting the food in their hands everywhere. Many people with children were buying it, and the restaurant seemed to be almost full.
It was almost half-past six. Zuo Yue was almost paralyzed from exhaustion due to her lack of breathing. After taking a few deep breaths, she continued to perk up. She went back to the restaurant to get some newly made food and turned around to walk to the center of the business street.
The big, pink, and cute Ala Lei shuttled back and forth among the people. It didn’t take long for her to be surrounded by a few little girls.
“Mommy, I want to eat donuts!”
The little girls spoke in different languages, but they all had the same goal. After getting their mother’s permission, they all rushed towards Alalei and took the small donut from Alalei. Then, they turned around and asked their mother if they could go to the restaurant to eat more donut.
Seeing the customers walking towards the restaurant, Zuo Yue panted heavily in the cartoon characters while turning around to continue working.
“Hello, sir ~”
“This lady, would you like to try our…”
..
“What time is it?” The huge Aralei walked behind Bikachu to ask for the time.
Julie, who was hiding in Bikachu, replied,””I just went back to the restaurant and saw that it was 6:25 pm. I can get off work soon!”
There were only five minutes left! Zuo Yue instantly raised all her spirits and turned around to continue shuttling through the crowd.
” Little kid, I’ll give you a donut. It’s free. If you like it, you can buy some inside. It’s okay if you don’t like it!”
Zuo Yue was smiling as she shook the donut in her hand at a cute little girl in front of her. The little girl also smiled and was about to reach out to take it.
Suddenly, something happened in the crowd. This was supposed to be a pedestrian street, but a car rushed in from the front. The people around them screamed and dodged in all directions. The little girl and her mother were also instantly scattered by the crowd.
“Ah!”
Screams rang in her ears. Zuo Yue looked down and saw that the little girl was about to fall. In this situation, if she fell to the ground, she would be trampled to death or injured. She quickly reached out and protected the little girl in her arms. She took advantage of the thick protective layer on her body and wanted to take the little girl to hide in a place with fewer people.
However, although the clothes on her body could play a protective role, it was a little clumsy to walk in the crowd. She had just carried the little girl and walked a few steps to the side when she was suddenly bumped into by the crowd that was quickly hiding behind her. Zuo Yue staggered and fell to the side.
“Ah… Mommy!” The little girl cried in fear in her arms.
Zuo Yue could only protect the little girl in her arms and try her best to avoid the feet walking back and forth in the crowd. At the same time, she tried her best to raise her legs and arms to avoid being crushed.
However, there were still some people who came and went and fell on her body. One by one, they pressed down on her. Zuo Yue only felt a pain in her chest from being pressed down. She cursed softly and kicked those people away. At the same time, she struggled to stand up. However, she still hissed in pain because her legs and arms had been stepped on twice.
The little girl was still crying in Zuo Yue’s arms. Because it was only a car that suddenly rushed in, causing panic and hiding, the crowd gradually dispersed. The little girl’s mother ran over with a worried expression. When she came forward to take the little girl, she thanked and nodded. Zuo Yue did not say much. She only waved goodbye to the little girl who had stopped crying and turned to walk in the direction of the restaurant.
“How are you? Are you hurt?” Julie and Vera were not in this direction just now. The moment they saw her, the two of them quickly surrounded her.
“I’m fine.” Zuo Yue was a little listless. I’ll go change my clothes. It’s too hot.”
As she spoke, she endured the pain in her body and turned around to go to the dining room.
Julie and Viena were about to go back with her when they suddenly saw a young man and woman passing by. They saw that the crowd had dispersed, and the car that had rushed in had been detained by the police. They planned to get another business for the restaurant before leaving.
Julie walked up to the young couple and raised the plate in her hand.”Sir, Miss, would you like to try the beef in our restaurant…”
Before he could finish, Vina turned around and chased after him. She shouted as she walked,”Zuo Yue! Are you really not injured?”
The young man and woman who were walking in front of Julie were originally ignoring the salesman in cartoon clothes beside them. However, when they heard the shout behind them, the man beside the young girl suddenly looked in the right direction.
When he saw the deformed Aralei and the dust on her body, the man’s cold gaze did not change. The girl beside him asked curiously,”Chengfeng, what’s wrong? Didn’t you never like children, so you stayed away from this cartoon-style restaurant?”
Xu Chengfeng did not answer. He only glanced at the cartoon figure in front of him. After a moment of silence, he quietly withdrew his arm from the girl beside him. He turned around and walked in the direction of Aralei, who had been stepped on.
“Chengfeng…” The young girl was stunned on the spot. The moment she turned around, she was surprised to see Xu Chengfeng pressing down on the dirty Alalei’s head.
Zuo Yue also felt a sudden weight on her head in an instant. She wanted to continue walking forward but she could not move. However, she could not turn around smoothly. She just turned around in circles on the spot. Finally, she managed to turn her huge body around.
