Soon, a table of dishes plus hot pot was served.

Ye Chen was not polite, he lowered his head and ate.

Xia Yixin, who was opposite, was holding the three hundred yuan in his pocket with his small hand, and he didn't move his chopsticks for a long time.

"Eat quickly, why are you embarrassed to move your chopsticks when you have a treat?" Ye Chen handed a pair of chopsticks to Xia Yixin.

"I'm not hungry." Xia Yixin's face was slightly red and she lowered her head, trying not to let Ye Chen see her embarrassment.

"Hurry up and eat, grind what? I can't finish it. Ye Chen glared at her impatiently, and Xia Yixin was so frightened that she hurriedly took the chopsticks.

I ate it in small bites.

"What do you usually eat?" Ye Chen asked coldly.

The scene at the door just now, Ye Chen's heart was like a knife.

My mind unconsciously recalls the days before I was imprisoned.

At that time, after Ye Chen's grandfather was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis, he needed a large amount of medical expenses and surgery fees.

Ye Chen delivers takeaway during the day and works as a waiter at a barbecue restaurant on the side of the road at night, just to make enough money.

At that time, he was reluctant to eat and drink, and the owner of the barbecue restaurant was also a good person, and sometimes he would give him more skewers, but most of the time, Ye Chen ate a steamed bun and wrapped mustard.

Those poor days, Ye Chen tried not to recall it anymore, but the moment he saw Xia Yixin's door.

It instantly made his eyes redden.

"Just, just eat steamed buns..."Xia Yixin lowered her head and muttered in a low voice.

"You're not afraid of hunger? When the time comes, it will cost a lot of money to go to the hospital to see a doctor, pick up sesame seeds, lose watermelon, and you're talking about it. Ye Chen's tone was a little reprimanding.

Xia Yixin's neck shrank in fright: "I, I know, I will eat well in the future." ”

"Let's eat first, I'm full." Ye Chen wiped his mouth, and there were still a lot of meat and vegetables left on the table.

Later, Xia Yixin didn't eat much, but asked the waiter to carefully ask for a packing bag, and began to pack up the remaining meat and vegetables.

"Let's clean up first." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he got up and went to the front desk to check out.

"I'll come." Xia Yixin trotted over from her position, and hurriedly took out the crumpled and fragmented change from her pocket.

"Brother Chen, you helped me too much today, I can't let you treat you no matter what." Xia Yixin hurriedly stuffed the money into the front desk, and without waiting for Ye Chen to speak, she hurriedly ran back to her position and continued to pack.

"Do you have too much money?"

Ye Chen appeared behind Xia Yixin, and his voice was a little dissatisfied.

Xia Yixin pursed her lips and explained: "No, Brother Chen, I'll just pretend that I didn't go to work today." ”

Ye Chen was a little helpless, so he simply ignored him, and came to the gate to smoke a cigarette.

A few minutes later, Xia Yixin walked out with a bag and a red face.

"Where do you live? I'll send you. Ye Chen took a puff of his cigarette and said.

"No, no, I go back alone every day." Xia Yixin refused in a panic.

Ye Chen raised his hand to stop a taxi, turned his head and said impatiently: "Don't talk so much nonsense, hurry up and get in the car." ”

"It's too late, if you go back and something happens, I'm also jointly and severally responsible."

Xia Yixin's neck shrunk, and she sat down in the back row with her bag in her arms.

The taxi turned around, and after 40 minutes, it came to a place called Tianpeng Urban Village.

When I got out of the car, the smell of dampness mixed with the stench poured into my nostrils.

Garbage everywhere, and all kinds of bugs flying in the air.

Ye Chen couldn't help frowning: "You just live here?" It's not convenient to go to work. ”

"I got there by bus, it wasn't far, I got used to it."

"Brother Chen, then I'll go first." Xia Yixin replied in a low voice.

"Sending you all the way here, why don't you invite me in for a cup of tea?" Ye Chen half-jokingly.

Xia Yixin blushed: "This, it's not good..."

After all, the house she lives in is so dilapidated that in the summer, the smell of garbage wafting from outside will spread to the house.

"Just kidding, give me my phone."

Xia Yixin didn't dare to ask more, and handed a worn-out mobile phone to Ye Chen.

Dozens of seconds later, Ye Chen returned the phone to her.

"The above is my phone number, if you need my help in the future, call at any time, I'm not a rich person, but it's okay to care if you eat a few meals."

"Okay, thank you." Xia Yixin swallowed and said embarrassedly.

Then Ye Chen handed her a box of medicine: "I just bought it, remember to paint your face, the little girl looks very handsome, otherwise it would be a pity." ”

Xia Yixin blushed and nodded.

"Whew!"

At this moment, a roar was heard, and two beams of light instantly illuminated the two people.

Xia Yixin seemed to realize something, and hid in the corner in a panic.

Three people jumped out of the car, led by a bald head, with a bear's waist, a briefcase, and half a cigar in his mouth.

"Little bitch, let's find Lao Tzu easily, where can you hide?" The bald fierce screamed at Xia Yixin angrily.

Xia Yixin trembled with fright, controlled her emotions, and replied timidly: "I, I didn't hide, I will give you the money I owe you as soon as possible, please give me a while longer, I will definitely give you a penny." ”

"Lao Tzu is not a charity, and it is natural to repay debts."

"Brother, it's really not that I don't want to pay it back, your interest is too high." Xia Yixin replied in a low voice.

The bald head snorted coldly and spit out thick phlegm, which was only a few centimeters away from Ye Chen's shoes.

This made Ye Chen's brows furrow.

"Don't borrow if you think the interest rate is high? What did you do earlier? ”

"But you're okay, or else, you stay with me tonight, and I'll give you another three days." The bald eyes swept around Xia Yixin and licked his lips.

"Brother, I'll give it back to you." Xia Yixin looked at the bald face and replied timidly.

Can it still be good in the hands of these few people?

"Less nonsense, by the way, it just so happens that my buddy has a KTV recruiting, look at your appearance, follow me."

"I'll take you there, at most three months, you can pay off the arrears, in case you are lucky and meet a rich man to support you, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

"Don't forget to thank me when the time comes."

The bald head said with a smile.

then ignored Ye Chen, came to Xia Yixin's side, and stretched out his hand to forcibly take her away.

At this moment, Ye Chen's hand suddenly appeared, pressed the bald wrist, and pushed him out.

He said coldly: "If you have something to say, I'm moving my hands and feet to unload it for you." ”

Ye Chen, whose bald head was suddenly interrupted, was furious, and immediately scolded angrily: "Don't pretend to be a hero here, Xiaobi cub, otherwise Lao Tzu will clean up with you." ”

After speaking, the two younger brothers behind him did not forget to shake the reflective switchblade in their hands to demonstrate.
