Chapter Ninety-Seven: Take a Break
In the boss's room on the top floor of the BW Building (Black and White Building) in Chicago, Li collapsed into the wide boss's chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, two fingers appeared on his temple, and a coolness seeped into his brain, which was extremely comfortable.
Li grabbed the two little hands and rubbed them gently, enjoying a moment of warmth.
"Why have you been so tired these days since you came back, what's wrong?" Jessica asked softly.
Li smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "Don't mention it, I hate the blood clan, these night owls are energetic at night." The problem is that they just play on their own, and Erwin still has to pull me, hey, I haven't slept more than 2 hours in the past few days. I had no choice but to move my bedtime to daytime, but fortunately I wasn't too busy today. β
"By the way, Erwin, where did they go during the day?"
"Wherever else can you be, you can go to the mountains and rivers in the Shejitu, they don't say that sleeping in the Huxin Temple can improve their strength, Wu Zhiqi's predecessors told me that it's nonsense, the Shejitu can't conjure the moon and the sun out of thin air, at most in the daytime, it's a little cooler there, and most of it is their psychological effect."
"Speaking of Shejitu, my dear, is it really good for you to let the blood clan go in to cultivate? Are they so credible? Jessica was still somewhat concerned about it.
Li smiled and pinched her nose, her eyes revealing wisdom, "Don't worry, I did this for several reasons, first, the power of the Xuanyin of the Sheji Diagram has indeed greatly improved the blood clan, but it is not something that can be seen overnight, how can you cultivate in it for several months, and this treasure itself has Wu Zhiqi's predecessors in charge There is no need to worry at all." I asked my seniors in private, the prince-level blood clan was just able to fight him, and the other blood clans were not as strong as Xiao Hei's ability in his old man's opinion. β
"Second, during the events of TongguΓ² during this time, the wizarding guild that we used to regard as great enemies now seems to be just a pawn, and we don't know how strong the Blood Clan Demon Party is hidden behind them, so it is also a very necessary measure for us to win over the enemy's enemy. No kind of diplomacy can just get without paying, can it? What's more, having this one-of-a-kind treasure can make our friendship stronger. β
"Finally, it can be seen from the fact that the Rice family only summoned their own family descendants to Chicago, and even within the secret party, their own family interests come first. Then, with the help of the social plan, I am afraid that the old guy Gilles is planning more than just a France, forming a good friendship with the future leader of the secret party, and even making some political investments that seem to be a charcoal in the snow, I also think it is quite worthwhile. β
Jessica, who was leaning against Lee playing with his hair, suddenly remembered something and asked him, "By the way, speaking of help, it seems that Elwin has an earl among the people who came this time to advance." β
"Yes, it's the only female bloodline, it seems to be called Amandina, and by the way, John has molested her. Hearing Erwin say that she has been staying in the rank of Earl for 400 years because of her lack of spell affinity, and this time she has the help of Yuehua in cultivating in the Shejitu, and she found that there are signs of a breakthrough in the rank. Calculate the time, it should be in these two days, Erwin also invited us to watch the ceremony, and when the time comes, you can call everyone to take a look, and the stones of other mountains can attack jade. β
"Don't keep thinking about cultivation." Jessica looked at Li distressedly, "What you need now is rest, understand, you are a human being, not a machine, this home belongs to all of us, not you alone, do you understand." β
"Seeing that you can't think of anything else here, go, go out for a walk today, you are not allowed to stay here." Jessica grabbed Lee and dragged him out.
"Hey, hey. Where to? Do you go shopping? That's not more tiring."
"Shut up and follow me."
As a result, unexpectedly, Jessica didn't drag Lee to go shopping, but really walked around. The two walked out of the building and walked out of the street under the curious gaze of their subordinates.
"Where is this going?" Li asked curiously.
"Don't go anywhere, just wander around." Jessica's beautiful eyes smiled into two crooked crescents, "Don't stay in the office all the time, I want you to see the success of your previous efforts, and I want you to see that ordinary people are also working hard for this qiΔ." β
Li laughed after hearing this, grabbed her little hand with his backhand, pulled her to his side, and walked aimlessly down the street like an ordinary couple.
The warm sun shines on the body, the open space next to the road is full of flowers and plants, this is not anyone's front yard or some street park, just a street vacant land, the people of the southern district have long been not used to the bare wasteland here, these plants are sown by people themselves, idle, everyone is willing to come to pull the grass and get rid of insects, but these public places are more neat and beautiful than their own yards.
"See, this is a picture that would have been unimaginable here a year ago, and it's all your credit." Jessica looked at her lover with a look of adoration.
"It's not all perfect, no, I'm going to have to find the discord today." Li rarely showed a hint of innocence.
"Okay, but if you can't find it, you'll have to go shopping with me five times." Jessica smiled and agreed with a smile, and made a small bet by the way.
"And what if I win?"
"When the time comes, you're a man, why are you so careful."
Lee began to pretend to be observant, and after walking for a while, he found one.
"Aha, look, there are so many children on the basketball court, and group absenteeism is not a good phenomenon."
Jessica lunged at Nunu on the court and motioned for Lee to ask herself.
"Hey, little ones, why don't you go to school, it's such a nice day, shouldn't it be a day of absenteeism."
The children on the court continued to fight aggressively, and a little guy leaning against the barbed wire next to him turned around and looked at Li like an idiot, "Uncle, it's the weekend today." β
"Huh?! yes, hehe, no wonder the weather is so good. The little guy glanced at him disdainfully, and silently avoided this strange uncle, does the weather have anything to do with the weekend, are you stupid to me, Tom next door said that there is a strange uncle who has a special hobby for children, I think this one is quite similar.
Jessica covered her mouth on the side, she couldn't breathe with laughter, and Li looked at her helplessly, "Don't cover your mouth, you can't breathe anymore." β
Suddenly, he saw a familiar name on a child's jersey on the field. He took a closer look and asked Jessica curiously, "What, did the Bulls also bring in a newcomer named Odom this year?" β
Jessica stopped smiling and looked at Lee affectionately, he couldn't help but touch his face, "What's wrong?" β
The beautiful girl imitated a passage: "In those most difficult days, I thought that the whole world had abandoned me, that there was no point in living for me, that drugs, prostitutes, I numbed myself with these things, and that I was going to die in illusion." But in the end, a god came to my mind and told me, child, that this should not be your life. He saved my life and told me what a proper life should look like. I didn't come to Chicago to make much money, I just wanted to set an example to others, and not to give up on yourself for the sake of the people you love and the people who love you. Another thing, I just wish I could be closer to God. β
"Lamar is on the Bulls?"
"Yes, starting with a 10-day contract, now the Bulls have signed him to a two-year contract, I don't know much about basketball, but I heard Dana say that the Bulls are expected to compete for a championship this year with the help of Odom. And I heard that he donated almost all of his salary to the Taoist temple to help the children. Jessica looked at Lee, "You changed someone's life. β
"It's nothing." Li turned around and waved his hand, "I'm just glad that the mana wasn't in vain. Okay, let's keep going, I haven't given up yet. Jessica didn't say anything more, just followed him with a grin.
