Gu Pinting was in a daze when Bai He hit the gas and the car sped away.
She kneeled on the ground dumbly, savoring Xi Zuzi’s words: "Just start by doing a hundred good deeds a day."
Suddenly, she rembered that Xi Rubao, during her livestreams, was also constantly urging fans to do good deeds, like practicing three good deeds a day or sothing.
Could it be that the Xi sisters’ continuous good luck was really because of doing good deeds? No other secret?
If she had known that changing one’s luck was this simple, why did she rely on the dical Beauty Bracelet and foolishly cut her flesh to feed blood?
Gu Pinting stood up abruptly.
Going up so quickly, she felt a wave of dizziness on her head.
She leaned on the telephone pole for a few minutes, then resolutely walked to the sidewalk, looked around, and began... looking for elderly ladies.
Helping an elderly lady across the street should count as a good deed, right?!
However, it’s easier said than done.
Under the increasingly scorching sun, she stood there for ages but didn’t encounter a single elderly lady.
After a long wait, one finally appeared, but she was accompanied by family, leaving Gu no chance to offer her assistance.
Turns out helping an elderly lady across the street isn’t sothing you can just do when you want to!
Gu Pinting wiped her sweat and temporarily gave up on this idea helplessly.
She wandered aimlessly along the street and saw so yogurt boxes, plastic bags, and a few leftover bun bites scattered in a mud puddle by the roadside.
These were the trash casually thrown by people hurrying to work after having breakfast.
Normally, she’d definitely not even give it a glance, but at this mont, a thought crossed her mind: picking up trash and protecting the environnt could count as a good deed, right?
She bent over and started picking up trash along the way.
At first, she felt a bit embarrassed and quickly avoided people.
But as she kept bending over, lifting up, tossing into a trash can, then bending over, lifting up...
She seed to get used to this motion, with more feeling than spending tens of thousands at the gym, hiring expensive personal trainers to practice hot yoga.
Soon, a layer of sweat beaded on her neck; she wiped it away and continued energetically.
She never realized that picking up trash could actually feel quite refreshing, just like exercising!
Gu Pinting was engrossed when suddenly, from the front ca a series of chattering exclamations and the sound of cara shutters:
"Whoa, this woman looks so familiar, could it be so celebrity?"
"Heh, what kind of celebrity looks this fat, you’re mistaken, right?"
"Oh, you forgot, it’s that washed-up forr lead actress from a flop Fantasy Martial Arts Drama, what’s her na... Gu sothing. Didn’t she get forced out of the circle after gaining sixty pounds?"
"Whoa, scary, has she gone crazy from a shock, picking up trash like this..."
"Heh, maybe she’s deliberately drawing attention?"
"If that’s the case, then we’ll give her what she wants and take her picture for the web!"
Passersby eagerly snapped photos with their phones and caras.
Hearing the commotion, Gu Pinting straightened up and glanced over at them.
Just as the onlookers thought she was about to lose her temper, they instead heard her cautiously pointing to the empty Coke bottle one guy had just finished drinking and asking, "Hey, if you don’t want that trash, can I dispose of it for you?"
"Geez, scared you crazy broad." The guy tossed the empty Coke bottle into the rain-puddled mud, "Go pick it up yourself if you dare, you bitch!"
Gu Pinting’s face flushed with sha from the insult, suddenly rembering how she used to curse at Xi Zuzi, Xi Rubao, and even her own fat second aunt Qin Tao in a similar manner...
No wonder Xi Zuzi always talked about the "word spirit"; indeed, when you offend the word spirit, sooner or later you’ll yourself experience the humiliation of being verbally abused.
She didn’t argue with him, just bent down to pick up the bottle, tossed it into the recycling bin, then gave him a look: "You’re still young, don’t be careless with your words, or you’ll end up like ."
After saying this, she continued picking up trash.
"Lunatic! Fat cow!" the bystander continued to curse.
Instead, soone behind him tugged his sleeve: "Don’t be like that, I think what that Gu-sothing said carries so truth. Besides, the way she seriously picks up trash looks far better than her acting on TV, don’t you think?"
"You’re also nuts? What’s so good about picking up trash!"
