The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 173

"Hey, Fu Xiao, is that you working here? I came with some friends. How about having a drink with us..."

When she worked as a waitress in the restaurant, there were always some unfamiliar classmates who approached her.

They'd say all sorts of things.

Fu Xiao usually ignored them and continued with her work.

When they saw her silence, they would become more persistent.

"Not for free, though. How about fifty bucks for a drink?"

Fu Xiao remained unresponsive.

"Not enough?" The guy raised his voice, "How about a hundred? We're classmates, come on."

Perhaps feeling embarrassed in front of his friends, he grabbed her wrist and tried to drag her into a private room.

Fu Xiao wasn't going to tolerate that and kicked him hard.

She set the dishes aside to avoid breaking them, as she would have to pay for the damages.

After a few more kicks, she started hitting his face with her fists and scratching with her nails.

Having grown up in an orphanage, fighting was common for her.

If it hadn't been for his short hair, she would have pulled it as part of her attack...

When others finally pulled her away, the man's face was bruised and marked with scratches from her nails.

Perhaps frightened by her ferocity, the man didn't say anything and seemed to realize he was in the wrong. He didn't bother her afterward.

However, the incident quickly spread through the school, and her circle of friends diminished.

She didn't need friends anyway. The environment at her part-time job became quieter.

But this also served as a significant warning to her. If she encountered someone more formidable, her fighting skills might not be sufficient.

So, she found another part-time job cleaning at a martial arts gym.

She watched the training sessions and practiced secretly after everyone had left.

Fortunately, she met a good master who occasionally gave her tips and allowed her to attend classes.

He seemed to see potential in her and let her break the rules to join the lessons.

She studied diligently, and with her willingness to endure hardships and pain, she outperformed many paying students.

The teachers, appreciating her talent, provided her with more guidance.

This skill became a vital means of self-defense when the apocalypse began and she hadn't yet awakened her abilities.

Some people rise to prominence...

While others crawl through the muck and mire.

At that time...

She lived like an ant, just struggling to survive.

No matter how painful it was, she still wanted to live.

As the memories faded...

Fu Xiao listened to the laughter and chatter of her family and looked up at the starry sky.

Now she had a family of her own, no longer that lonely, spectral Fu Xiao.

Sensing something, Mu Lianshen walked over and squatted in front of her.
