The door pushed open a bit, and it was Parker.

Before he could walk in, he felt the vibration of his phone at his waist and gently closed the door again.

Ronan was in a state of freedom, and besides, there was nothing to see in the bedroom, so he floated out.

Parker came around the corner of the hallway and pulled out his phone.

This is an old-fashioned flip phone, and looking at the traces on it, it should have been used for a long time.

Ronan paid special attention to the purchase of mobile phones accompanied by Audrey.

The current level of mobile phones in the world is not much different from the previous world.

Parker has been using an old-fashioned mobile phone, indicating that the economy is very tight and he is reluctant to buy a new one.

"Hey. ”

Ronan floated to his side and brought his ear to his microphone.

Anyway, this is a simulated realm, and the body belongs to the existence of nothingness, which can directly pass through the human body and the wall.

If you are far away, you will not be able to hear clearly.

"Child......" On the other side of the microphone, there was a weak male voice: "I don't want to be cured...... Let me die. ”

"No, father!" Parker's emotions became extremely excited: "Don't say such stupid things, remember to cooperate with the treatment, I will find a way to pay for it!"

"Listen to me, kid...... Surgery costs a lot of money, and I don't want to drag you down......"

"It's all right, father. Parker's eyes were a little moist: "I'll figure out a way to make money, that's it, I still have something to do, hang up first." ”

Cutting off the phone, he pursed his lips and looked sad.

After thinking for a minute or two, Parker picked up his phone again and rummaged through the address book.

There weren't many phone numbers stored on it, so he stared at one for a long time, then mustered up the courage to press the dial button.

"Hello?"

Seeing that the phone was connected, Ronan floated over and leaned over to the microphone.

"Uncle Stanley, it's me, Parker. ”

"Oh, it's you. The four words in a flat tone revealed indifference from thousands of miles away: "What's the matter?"

"Uncle, my father is hospitalized and needs a sum of money for surgery, I want to ......"

"I don't have any money. The other party interrupted directly.

"Uncle, please, I have no other way, really, help me......"

"I don't have any money. The other party's tone was calm and terrifying: "You know, I am a full-time family cook, where do I get so much money? Besides, my child is about to enroll in a training class, and the expenses are also large." I can understand your difficulties, not in desperation, and will not contact me. However, you can't ruin your child's future just because you save someone. ”

Parker smacked his lips and couldn't say a word.

In the face of this kind of elevated way of refusal, he has no way to do it.

Feeling the slight vibration of the phone, he sighed softly: "Okay, uncle, then...... Excuse me. ”

"Parker, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can find me again. This time the amount is really ...... It's a bit big, and I really can't help it. ”

After refusing, say some polite words, and don't stiffen the relationship, which is the way of life for adults.

It's just that this is a bit too hypocritical.

"Well, I understand. ”

Parker hung up, crouched on the ground, and flipped out the text message.

Ronan leaned over and glanced at it a few times, it was sent from the hospital, and the content was very official.

Roughly speaking, you need to pay nearly 100,000 waves of money within 10 days to have surgery.

This is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for a work-study student.

"What's the matter, lack of money?"

A voice suddenly floated from the top of the staircase.

Parker looked up at Loki, startled.

"Talk, is there a lack of money?"

Parker's face was embarrassed, and he couldn't open his mouth: "That ......"

Loki stared at his pretty face and said with a smile:

"No matter how much money you have, I can lend you. However, this comes at a price. ”

When he heard that he could help, a fire of hope ignited in Parker's eyes.

But it quickly dimmed again.

His impression of Loki is that of his roommate's fire bagmate.

Such a stranger, who doesn't know his background, suddenly said that he could solve the problem of money.

I don't think anything is right, and I don't have a lot of credibility.

But realistically, it is not up to Parker to choose.

He bit his lip tightly and held back a sentence for a long time: "What price?"

Loki saw that the beautiful boy was interested, and his eyes narrowed into crescent moons: "You know." ”

Parker was a little stunned: "I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't understand what you mean. ”

This move amused Loki: "Ha, it's really rare to have such an innocent teenager as you these days." ”

Parker was a little uncomfortable, and walked in the direction of the rental house: "Thank you for your kindness, forget it." ”

After hesitating, he still felt that this woman was not very reliable.

"You're still studying. ”

Loki's words made Parker's footsteps pause.

"Where does a student get so much money? Write down my mobile phone number XXX, and if you need money, you can contact me at any time. ”

She didn't have a business card with her, and the Victor family crest on her clothes was the best pass.

"You...... Is it a loan?"

"No, it can also be said that you can understand it as...... Only for your lending. ”

Parker was very sluggish with this kind of **, bowed his head and said thank you, and entered the room.

......

The surrounding image begins to turn into a cloudy liquid, then spreads out and gradually becomes clearer.

This time, the location was at that supermarket in the Blackstar district.

Loki drove his sports car to the side of the road, got out of the car and pulled the curtain in.

"Hello and welcome. ”

She looked around, but didn't see Parker's figure, and her gaze fell back to the boss at the counter:

"What about Parker, who worked here the other day?"

The boss put down the newspaper in his hand and replied slowly:

"He asked me yesterday for a three-month salary advance, and I quit without agreeing. ”

Loki snorted, turned away, and drove to the old neighborhood.

As soon as he reached the gate, he saw Parker walking with a smiling woman in the distance.

She propped up the window, her brow furrowed, and her face was very displeased.

"Hah, my dad. Loki said a dirty word, looked at the two of them talking and laughing, and was very angry: "No wonder you didn't contact me, it turned out to be a rich woman?"

Loki's eyes widened at the woman's face.

The strength of the family is definitely not as strong as the Victor family.

Seeing that the cooked beautiful man was cut off halfway, Loki's eyes were full of anger.

Ronan glanced at her, saw that she didn't mean to get out of the car, and drifted in the direction where Parker was.

Today, Parker wears a voluminous T-shirt, exuding a different kind of style.

Next to him was a woman of a similar age.

"Senior sister, are you really willing to lend me 100,000?"

"Yes, as long as I'm my boyfriend for a day, let my friends meet me. ”

The woman stepped forward and took the initiative to put her arms around Parker's shoulders.

The latter was somewhat uncomfortable, but did not resist.

"Don't worry, you are my junior brother, and I will definitely help you if you have difficulties. ”

Parker lowered his head, a little shy, and asked, "So where are we going?"

The woman deliberately slowed down, the greed in her eyes was fleeting, and she smiled:

"Not far away, just in front, the Black Tea Hanging Club. ”
