"Thank you."

Lin Ying took a bite of the half piece of bread that she would never eat at all.

The bread is overall dry and looks like it has been stored for a long time. It also has a slight sweetness and a very average taste.

Lin Ying regretted taking a bite.

She hesitantly raised her head and wanted to take the little girl to eat somewhere else. She happened to see the little girl biting the bread in small bites, like a little hamster treating its most precious food.

Lin Ying paused, lowered his head and continued to eat bread.

The restless heartbeat seemed to have stopped at this moment. The streetlight behind the two of them was quiet and soft.

After the little girl finished eating, she started staring blankly at the crumbs in her hands.

Lin Ying glanced at her, took a piece of paper from the side and handed it to her:

"Wipe your hands?"

The little girl thanked her in a low voice, took the tissue and divided it into two parts. One half was used to wipe her hands, and the other half was folded and stuffed into the pocket of her skirt.

Lin Ying watched her actions in silence, feeling very sad.

Do you use even a piece of paper so carefully?

The little girl didn't pay attention to her gaze. She put the paper away and stood up, waved her hands and said with a smile:

"Then I'm going home. Sister, are you going back too?"

Lin Ying shook her head and pointed to the remaining water behind her: "It will take a while to finish all the water."

The little girl took a few glances at the water and licked her lips: "Ah, it should be soon. We are very short of water."

"almost."

Lin Ying saw the desire in her eyes, hesitated and said, "Do you want to bring some water back?"

Unexpectedly, the little girl refused.

Little girl: "Can't each person only receive water once? My parents and I have already received water today."

Lin Ying was stunned: "There can be more -"

Lin Ying stopped talking and handed the juice that the little girl had not touched just now to her: "This is for you, you treat me to eat bread, and I treat you to drink juice."

Hearing Lin Ying's words, the little girl's words of refusal disappeared. She thought for a moment and took the juice handed over by Lin Ying, "Then are we friends now?"

Lin Ying: "...it should be considered that, right?"

The little girl didn't hear her hesitation and said with a smile: "Sister, mother said that exchanging food with each other makes us friends."

"That's it."

Lin Ying smiled.

Just when the little girl was about to leave, Lin Ying suddenly remembered something to stop her: "By the way, don't eat and chat alone with strangers at night. It's very dangerous."

Especially in the "untouchable area".

Although the little girl does not seem to have awakened her gender attributes now, it is still unsafe.

The little girl was stunned for a moment and suddenly blinked: "Sister, I don't talk to strangers casually."

Lin Ying was startled.

Little girl: “I think it’s just to show friendliness that I don’t let my parents show up.”

She smiled and waved her hand: "Then goodbye, sister."

Lin Ying was left sitting on the steps in shock, unable to recover for a long time.

After a while, she smiled helplessly.

That's right, in a place like the "untouchable area", even a child would never be naive enough to approach an alpha without any defense.

It can only be said that she got distracted.

The temperature difference between day and night in the main city is very large. When the cold wind blows on people's exposed skin, it almost cuts like a dagger, causing dense pain.

After distributing the last bottle of water, Lin Ying glanced at the watch on her wrist.

Nine-twenty.

It's time for them to go back.

The exhausted people nearby were chattering together, touching the goosebumps on their arms from time to time.

"Director, will you be paid for overtime tonight?"

In order to liven up the atmosphere, a female beta in the crowd made a joke.

Lin Ying packed her things for a moment, hummed, and said with a smile: "There is indeed overtime pay, but not much."

The female beta was pleasantly surprised: "That's okay, it's enough for me to have a good meal."

"You only know how to eat?"

"Why don't you eat?"

"........."

The employees laughed and laughed together, and the originally deserted street suddenly came alive.

After Lin Ying packed up all her things, she motioned for them to get in the car quickly.

"I have a day off tomorrow."

Lin Ying said.

Before the employees could celebrate with joy, she added:

"Everyone will submit a report on today's water distribution when they go to work the next day."

As soon as this sentence came out, most employees were dumbfounded.

"ah?!!"

"What kind of report can I write on Water Diversion?"

"Aren't we just here for charity?"

"..."

Only a small number of employees seemed to realize something, and their originally relaxed mood became much heavier. They hesitated to speak and looked at Lin Ying who was getting into the car.

Lin Ying was too lazy to point it out one by one. After perfunctory, she began to urge everyone to get in the car and go home.

She was the last to go.

Before leaving, Lin Ying looked back at the seemingly deserted "untouchable area" streets again, with complicated eyes.

"boom--"

The car engine started, and the roar was very clear in the silent street.

After all the people who had divided the water had left, many people slowly appeared on the originally deserted street.

In ragged clothes, they looked at the car in the distance and shuffled towards the cardboard boxes on the ground that had not been taken away...

--------

"Lin Ying has gone back?"

Qin Mei was sitting on the sofa, her thin white legs resting on Jian Shan's legs opposite her, lazily talking to the person on the other side of the phone.

"Well, she shared the water for a day and just left."

The woman on the other side of the phone touched her daughter's hair with a gentle voice.

"It's quite bearable."

Qin Mei yawned and blinked: "She is a smart person, she should have figured out what I meant by asking her to go to the "untouchable area" to share the water. "

The woman on the other end of the phone still had some concerns: "Is this okay? She is an alpha after all——"

"Alpha also has the benefits of alpha," Qin Mei interrupted her and said with a smile, "Do you think alpha has not been suppressed?"

Qin Mei: "It's just that omegas are the most suppressed, so they ignore betas and some alphas."

"Lin Ying is ambitious and courageous. The most rare thing is that she has empathy and status that most alphas don't have. This is what we need most now..."

Jian Shan lowered his eyelids and listened quietly to Qin Mei's call. He massaged the thin white calves under his hands softly but vigorously, thinking in a daze.

He is also an alpha, but Qin Mei never deliberately puts him away when she does anything. Does this mean that Qin Mei treats herself...

"Jian Shan?"

Qin Mei looked at Jian Shan, who was obviously wandering, and was a little surprised. She raised her foot and kicked the opponent's abdomen, and said helplessly: "I'm calling you."
