Chapter 24: Strange Boy
Actually, it's really fake to say that you don't have to worry. When I heard Old Man Wang say that his emotions were diluted and finally became a completely rational creature, I was very worried.
Along the way, I wondered, how much can a person's life be worth if it doesn't matter personal feelings? If life is converted into value, is it still like the "supremacy of human life" as stipulated in the law?
With that in mind, I went home. At this time, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and I saw the lights in the house from a distance, and I knew that it must be Xia Xiaoyu who turned on all the lights for me.
"I really don't need electricity bills, is it easy for me to make money, Miss." I muttered as I pulled out my key and slammed the door open.
Xia Xiaoyu and Li Xinru were sitting on the sofa watching TV, and when they saw me coming back, Xia Xiaoyu just turned his head and glanced at it, "I'm back." Then he continued to stare at the TV series.
"Brother! Let's watch TV together. Li Xinru shouted.
"Oh." I sat down on the couch and started watching TV with Li Xinru and Xia Xiaoyu. Then Li Xinru slowly leaned on my chest, her head resting on my shoulder.
I feel a burst of nostalgia, the last time Li Xinru did this was several years ago, although our relationship is still very good, but it is far from being intimate, at most it is cordial.
Well...... But it's only been a few days, and it will be even more troublesome when Li Xinru's memory recovers. But Rao is like this, I also have to find a way to recover her memory, people can't just live in a daze.
Now I am slowly beginning to accept the fact that Li Xin has a boyfriend, the sentence that a woman is not allowed to stay is right, a woman always has to marry, and it is impossible for me to keep her for a lifetime.
"Brother, brother?"
Thinking like this, I suddenly heard my sister calling me, I came back to my senses, looked into her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"You look at the male protagonist on TV, it's so touching." Li Xinru shook my arm and said: "In order to save the heroine, I traveled through time and space to the past and chose to forget, just to do it all over again, how touching." ”
I tugged at the corners of my mouth: "No, I think the heroine is too good, and if I were replaced, I would choose to save her." ”
"Indeed...... The heroine acted so well, she covered the light of the male lead, that is the popular actress Su Xiaowei, I like her! After speaking, Li Xinru also glanced at me with a resentful expression.
"What are you doing?" I was puzzled.
"You see, if there is a bridge in the novel, the male protagonist will definitely ask the female protagonist for an autograph." Li Xinru pouted.
I was in a cold sweat and didn't know what to say. How to say it, as a male protagonist with urban classification superpowers, I also think that there should be some encounters with popular movie queens, preferably with a little ******.
And then no, I was still lying in my kennel, worrying about money all day.
Is there any way to get money? I started dreaming unrealistically again.
What is the plot in a typical novel? Is there a mysterious organization that has taken a fancy to a certain talent of the male protagonist, maybe it is to cure diseases or it may be able to fight, so it costs a lot of money to hire it to fall in love with his daughter or something......
Why didn't this happen to me? Are there any big organizations that have taken a fancy to me? Why don't you have me, but I'm the hero!
Wait a minute...... I had a flash of inspiration in my head.
It's not nothing, for example, didn't the previous Nameless Management Association invite me to join? Although they do not pay salaries, they will meet the financial needs of their dependents...... In a sense, this is much better than paying salaries.
However, joining an organization means using capabilities frequently, which creates two problems.
First of all, I can't use my abilities too much, because the more times I use them, the more money I need, and by the twentieth time, I need 1048576, and in the end it's completely astronomical, and of course I can't use it anymore.
Then I will only have one option left, pay the debt all at once, but that would mean ...... I'm going to have something permanently missing from my life.
The consequences are too terrible for me to imagine.
"What do you think? Anyway, I live in your house, and I don't even have a welcome party, which is really stingy. Xia Xiaoyu snorted coldly.
I wiped a cold sweat: "Miss, you are a rich man, what scene have you never seen?" Can you deal with us ordinary people? ”
"There seems to be some truth to that, too." Xia Xiaoyu nodded.
I laughed dryly, trying to fool the question around.
Li Xinru yawned, looked up at the quartz watch on the wall, and said, "It's late, let's go to bed after watching this episode." ”
I looked up at the time, and it was already 23 o'clock, is it because the TV series is too good? I used to be sitting in my room playing on the computer, but today I watched TV surprisingly.
I nodded: "Then sleep, Li Xinru you and Xia ......"
"Knock knock."
There was a sudden knock on the door, and the three of us were stunned at the same time, who would knock on the door at this point in time? Unless it's a super-dedicated sales broker who sells junk stocks.
I became vigilant, picked up the steel pipe on the side of the sofa, motioned for Li Xinru and Xia Xiaoyu to step back, and went to the cat's eye alone to take a look.
To my surprise, there was only a very tattered little man outside the door, how to say, he was very tattered, and his hair looked like it hadn't been washed in two weeks, but it looked very clean.
"Hey, is anyone there?" The beggar outside the door asked in a clear voice, "What's that, I'm hungry, and it smells like pizza here, can you share it with me if there's any left?" ”
"Who are you?" I asked out loud.
"If you want food, it's so obvious." The man outside the door dissatisfied.
I was stunned, it was the first time I had heard someone say so hard about asking for food. But even then I won't open the door, who knows if there are a few big men hiding outside this door who are eager to try?
"No, fuck off." I shouted.
"Oh, if you don't give it, you say no, I smell it, you say it's not convincing at all." The boy shouted.
I was stunned for a moment, looked back at the remaining piece of pizza on the table, and felt more and more that there was something wrong with this person, this pizza is not durian, where does it have such a big taste?
I was about to say something, but suddenly my phone vibrate, and I took it curiously to take a look, and it turned out to be a text message from the dead man Wang: "If a homeless boy goes to your house to ask for food, just give him something to fill his stomach." ”
"I'll go, how can this old man know everything?" I wondered and shouted out the door, "Hey, what's the matter with you, how do you know the pizza I had tonight?" ”
"It's said that my nose is good, and I smell it from afar," the young man said impatiently: "Brother, I haven't eaten for a day, and it's really not easy to do this as a modern homeless man." ”
It's not easy for you, as a mentally retarded person.
I sighed, opened the door, and saw the young man, and when he saw me open the door, he stretched out his two hands to take something.
I handed him the leftover piece of pizza so that tomorrow's breakfast would be gone.
"Okay, take it and eat, why do you stay at my door all the time?" I said impatiently.
The boy shook his head: "I can't eat you for nothing." ”
"I'll go, I really don't need you to kneel and knock, hurry up, brother." I couldn't laugh or cry.
"Have you ever heard the story of the lion and the mouse?"
"Are you really literate now? Heard, have questions? I wondered.
The boy took a business card from what appeared to be a leaky pocket and handed it to me, and I took it with great clarity.
There is no phone number or company on it, there is only one name: Lu Shuisheng.
"Now that you guys are starting to have business cards? Then shouldn't I, the one who brushes the dishes, also get a business card for professional dish washing? "It's getting harder and harder for me to understand this person's thinking.
"When you need me, shout my name three times, and I can help you solve a problem, no matter how big or small." Lu Shuisheng smiled and turned to leave.
I watched him walk away in a daze, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly closed the door, regretting it: "Made, the mosquitoes have come in, don't have a good time tonight." ”
"Who?" Xia Xiaoyu and Li Xinru walked out of the room.
I don't want to say, "Oh, one of the people who asked for food has already served it with pizza." ”
“…… You're the rich man, please eat pizza if you want to eat. Xia Xiaoyu chuckled, turned his head and ran away.
I tugged at the corners of my mouth and went back to my room.
Of course, as for the matter of the land and water life, I completely ignored it.
