Chapter 14 Cheating, Is It Reliable?
Wake up the person in the dream with one sentence, Chen Mengran finally knew why the other party spared no effort to get close to him, it turned out that he wanted him to help.
"I thought you were talking nonsense before, but now it's finally determined that it's really nonsense." After talking so much about fate couples, it turned out that they wanted me to help you. You just said no, why do you have to make such a big effort and make such a big turn. ”
"You think too much, I really think we have fate. Li Mengxi sneered, and then returned to the topic: "Can you help me?"
"No, I can't. Chen Mengran directly refused.
"Why?" Li Mengxi's tone was full of disappointment.
"Because there is no interest, and there is no time. Chen Mengran said: "I only have two months, and I will start school in two months, so I have to hurry up and work to make money, and how can I have time to help you." I think you'd better find someone else to help you. ”
"But only you can help me, only you know my savings, others don't know at all. And I'm imprisoned in your meteorite space and can't get out, so how can I find someone else. ”
"This is easy to solve, first of all, you have to find a way to escape from space. Secondly, if you find a way to find someone who can communicate with souls like me, such as a legendary spirit medium or something, and then ask them to help you, it's OK. ”
"You didn't say that, how do you want me to escape from your space, and how do you let me find a medium?"
"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me. ”
"Don't be like this, you yourself said that we were destined, God let us meet, just let you help me. ”
"It's all you said, God hasn't said it, if you really ask him to move the old man, let him tell me to help you personally, then I'll help you. Chen Mengran played a scoundrel.
Li Mengxi was silent.
Seeing that Li Mengxi was no longer talking, Chen Mengran smiled and said, "Okay, now I'm going to brush my teeth, wash my face and eat breakfast, don't talk to me anymore." ”
"Bastard, a girl asks you for a little favor and you are actually a mother-in-law, and you are still not a man. Li Mengxi suddenly roared loudly, which startled Chen Mengran a lot. I only heard the brutal eldest lady in her tone, which was very different from the taste of the little woman who was begging just now.
Chen Mengran woke up, compared to the previous pleading, I'm afraid that she is the nature now, since she can't impress him with pleading, then the eldest lady's temper is finally revealed.
The roar didn't intend to stop from the beginning, and the anger that Li Mengxi had endured before surged towards Chen Mengran like a flood bursting its banks. A bastard, not a man, criticized Chen Mengran's body as incomplete, as if his existence was a blasphemy against this world.
At the beginning, Chen Mengran didn't take it seriously, and continued to wash his face and brush his teeth. Until breakfast, he was full after eating only one of the boiled eggs that Chen's mother prepared for him, and he was usually able to eat two.
Chen Mengran knew that Li Mengxi's roar had affected his appetite, and after realizing this, he did not hesitate to remove the stone from his neck, and suddenly, the whole world was clear. He regained his appetite and ate the remaining egg.
After breakfast, he went out, and the stone was placed under the pillow in his room.
For three consecutive days, Chen Mengran focused on eating, working, and sleeping, and gradually, he also adapted a lot. In addition to the exhaustion that can't be cleaned every day, Chen Mengran feels that this kind of life is quite fulfilling, at least it is much better than studying aimlessly all day long and getting no grades.
In the past three days, he didn't have any more out-of-body experiences, and he didn't even touch the stone much, because whenever he touched it, Li Mengxi's roaring voice would come to his mind, which made Chen Mengran a little daunted by the stone.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Chen Mengran had breakfast, looked at the time and saw that it was still a little early, so he went back to the room to rest temporarily.
Looking at the stone placed next to the pillow, Chen Mengran pondered.
For Li Mengxi, he expressed deep sympathy. The inability of a soul to reincarnate properly is in itself worthy of sympathy. But sympathy is sympathy, and he really can't do anything. Now the tuition fee for going to college is 5,000, plus the accommodation fee and some other expenses, how can it cost more than 6,000. He worked tirelessly and tirelessly for two months, and the waiter was only 3,300 yuan.
That is to say, when the university opens, he has to ask his parents for at least 3,000 yuan to ensure that he can start school, in this case, how can he be willing to waste his time on others.
Chen Mengran decided that it was time to have a good talk with Li Mengxi, after all, it was not a way to continue the cold war like this.
Holding the stone in his hand, as expected, Li Mengxi's roaring voice immediately sounded in his mind.
This time, Chen Mengran didn't let it roar, and said coldly: "If you don't shut up again, I will throw the stone into the sea, so that your soul will be trapped in the space forever and cannot be rescued." ”
The threat seemed to work, and Li Mengxi immediately shut up.
Chen Mengran was very satisfied, and his tone was softer, and said, "I've been bored in the space for so long, I'm afraid I'm going to get sick." Since you can see what I see and listen to what I hear, today I will take you out to see the outside world. But there is one condition, unless I allow you to speak, you are not allowed to say a word, and if you say a word, I will throw a stone into the sea, understand?"
There was no answer.
"I ask you if you understand?"
"Good. Li Mengxi said coldly.
Chen Mengran nodded with satisfaction, put the stone around his neck, and went out.
The home is not very far from the hotel where he works, and it will take 20 minutes to take the bus, but in order to let Li Mengxi enjoy the scenery of Pingjin as much as possible, Chen Mengran did not choose to take the bus, but chose to walk.
Along the way, Chen Mengran kept looking at the things and people around him, and it seemed that everything was very interesting. Of course, he wouldn't find it interesting, he just did this to take care of Li Mengxi and let her relive the world that had been detached.
After arriving at the hotel, Chen Mengran twisted his somewhat sore neck and started a new day's work.
Li Mengxi didn't break her promise, and she didn't speak at all this time, only when Chen Mengran took the initiative to ask her, she replied.
In the evening, Chen Mengran dragged his tired body home, after a simple dinner, and after helping his mother clean up the dining table, Chen Mengran returned to his room and lay directly on the bed with a big character.
"You have also seen with your own eyes how I spent my day, serving dishes, washing dishes, cleaning, almost no free time in a day, do you think I am so busy every day, can I find time to help you?"
There was no answer.
"You can also see my family background, it is not rich. My parents worked tirelessly every day to pay for my tuition and the family's basic food. If I don't work hard, I'll be worthy of them. Even though I worked hard for two months, I still couldn't save enough for school fees and still had to ask my parents for money, so how could I have the time and energy to help you? ”
There was no answer.
"So, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I really don't have the time and energy, you better figure it out by yourself, find someone who has the ability, don't waste your time with me. ”
Still no answer.
"Hey, did you hear what I told you?"
"I hear you. This time there was finally an answer. "Let me ask you a question, how much can you earn as a waiter for two months?"
"Why are you asking this?" Chen Mengran frowned, not understanding what Li Mengxi meant.
"Answer me. ”
"One thousand and five in the first month, and one thousand and eight in the second month. Chen Mengran replied honestly.
"Fifteen thousand and eight, adding up to three thousand three. You are tired and tired for two months to earn such a little?" Li Mengxi's tone was disdainful.
"I think that's pretty good for a student who just graduated from high school and doesn't have any job skills. Chen Mengran was content.
"If I can make you this money faster, will you have time to help me?"
"Can you help me make money, what are you kidding, how can you help me as a soul?" Chen Mengran felt that the other party was making fun of him.
"Answer me first, if I can make you the three thousand three hundred dollars faster, will you have time to help me?"
Hearing that there was no joke in Li Mengxi's tone, Chen Mengran also put away his playfulness, thought for a while, and nodded, "If you really have this ability, I will consider helping you." ”
"Okay, we'll make up our minds. Li Mengxi shouted, with indescribable excitement in his tone. Chen Mengran was also infected, secretly wondering if she was really capable.
"Do you know what I did when I was alive?" asked Li Mengxi.
"What?"
"I'm a translator, an English translator. Li Mengxi's tone was full of pride.
"I graduated from Pingjin University of Foreign Chinese, and when I was in school, I also worked as you do now to earn money. Of course, I'm not brushing dishes and washing dishes, I'm tutoring the children of rich families. A hundred dollars an hour, two hours a day, that's two hundred dollars. ”
"So much. Chen Mengran exclaimed.
People earn 100 yuan an hour, and they only earn 50 yuan on average for eight hours a day, which is only more than 6 yuan an hour when converted into hours, which is simply incomparable.
"So, if you go to work as an English tutor, you will have a few hundred yuan a day, more than 3,000 yuan, just ten days of work, and the work is very easy, much better than when you are a waiter. ”
"Wait. Chen Mengran stopped Li Mengxi's words in time: "What did you say, let me be an English tutor, is there any mistake, I just passed the English college entrance examination, what qualifications do you have to teach others?"
"You're stupid. Li Mengxi sighed slightly: "With me by your side to assist you, what are you afraid of." You just make a decoration, about how to teach how to teach what, I will secretly tell you, don't forget, we can communicate. ”
Chen Mengran's eyes lit up, this is a good idea. With Li Mengxi here, it's okay to be a middleman and pass on the word. It's just that this is cheating after all, and Chen Mengran is still a little weak-hearted.
"Is it really possible? What if someone finds out?"
"Don't worry, no one will find out, even if you tell people directly, you have a soul in your body, do you think others will believe it?"
Chen Mengran thought about it and felt that it was right. It's just that he was still a little uneasy and asked, "Is it reliable?"
"It's much more reliable than you are a waiter. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Chen Mengran is not stupid, if he can really make money with the help of shortcuts, he doesn't want to work as a waiter, just like that, Chen Mengran agreed.
