Support

Shao Liyin looked at his cute and fierce puppy appearance, and when he mentioned the little cake, she suddenly burst into laughter: "You can support yourself by stealing other people's things?"

"I..." The child blushed at the words he said, but he was indeed in the wrong, so his voice dropped unconsciously. "That was... I'm sorry, last night was my first time..."

Shao Liyin thought about the cake she had finally decided to buy, but it was gone before she could even taste it. Suddenly, she didn't know what to say: "Should I say you're lucky, or should I say I'm unlucky that I got it the first time I tried."

He looked at the child looking at him, feeling guilty, afraid, and wary. His bony hand was still tightly gripping the door bolt. He couldn't lose his temper anymore, so he climbed onto the bed with some effort: "I'm not kicking you out tonight.

Move the table aside and find a place to lie down. Oh, go take a shower first and rub your clothes so they'll be dry tomorrow morning. Remember to turn off all the lights before you go to bed."

This kid must have been rummaging through trash cans a lot, because he smelled pretty bad. It was his T-shirt, which was originally white, but now had all sorts of colors on it. The pure white T-shirt had become a painting, and it was a painting that smelled...

He lay on his side on the bed, facing inward, with his back to the child, and listened carefully when he heard a "click".

Hey, this little brat even knew to lock the door! As if locking it would prevent him from getting out.

There was no movement on his side, and the people at the door seemed to be relieved. After a while, they heard the soles of feet moving lightly towards the balcony, and there was a rustling sound of clothes being taken off, and soon the sound of splashing water could be heard.

After all this trouble, it was almost twelve o'clock. Shao Linyin was really sleepy and became a little confused as he lay there.

When I was woken up by the alarm clock, the sky was just beginning to turn blue.

The construction period was really tight, and the weather was hot, so usually more could be done in the morning. It was only yesterday that he found out that the master was already at the construction site at 7 o'clock every day.

As a small worker, he would never ask his master to work overtime, as it would make sense for him to avoid idleness.

So he set the alarm for five o'clock today, and it would take him an hour to get to the construction site by bus.

He sat up from the bed, shook his head, and got up to wake himself up. He was about to feel the switch by the door to turn on the light, but he kicked something as he got down, which scared him so much that he woke up completely.

When I turned on the light, I saw a dazed little kid rubbing his eyes after being kicked awake.

It took him a full minute to react, and his brain finally remembered that he had brought a child home last night.

The child was lying on the ground, naked.

There was nothing on the tile floor. The skin covering the bones of the child was too thin, and the protruding parts of his elbows and knees were all covered with red marks.

Shao Linyin frowned: "Why aren't you wearing anything?"

The child was still confused: "I washed the clothes last night..."

"I mean underwear! You have to wear underwear!"

The child tilted his head and looked at him for a long time without saying anything.

Shao Liyin understood. It wasn't that he didn't want to wear it, it was that he simply didn't have any...

Shao Liyin couldn't vent his anger. He let out a long breath and walked towards the balcony, saying as he walked, "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer."

After washing up as quickly as possible, putting on clothes, he walked out: "The door on the first floor can't be opened without a key. If you want to go out, try to go around eight o'clock. There are many people going to work at that time. When they go out, you can just follow them out."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "I'll probably be back around 10 tonight. If you're still coming... wait for me then."

Hearing this, the child's eyes suddenly lit up. Before he could say anything, Shao Linyin had already closed the door and left.

The owner of the bun shop saw him from a distance and greeted him, "Xiao Shao, why are you so early today?"

Shao Liyin smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. We're on a tight deadline right now."

As he was speaking, the bun shop owner had already handed him a bag. As he was scanning the code, he said, "Uncle, just like yesterday, I want another order, one more bun." After thinking for a moment, he changed his words and said, "Two, meat buns."

The bun shop owner looked at him and joked, "How many colleagues are you bringing this for?"

Shao Liyin picked up the bag, entered the password, and paid. "Hey, I found a puppy. It's edible and has a bad temper! Let's go, uncle!"

The owner of the bun shop didn't understand what was happening and the person had disappeared.

Shao Liyin hurried back downstairs. As soon as he opened the security iron door, he saw the child squatting behind the door, waiting for it to open.

Shao Liyin: "Why are you here? Didn't you say you could sleep a little longer?"

The child stood up when he saw him and asked: "Why are you back? Did you leave anything behind?"

"No." This question made him suddenly feel that it was inexplicable for him to rush to deliver breakfast, and he felt a little unhappy for a moment.

But I bought it...

He handed over the bag in his hand: "Here, there are three buns. Eat enough in the morning. I won't take care of you at noon, but don't save them for the night. The weather will really get bad at night. If you can wait, wait for me to bring them to you in the evening."

After explaining, she looked at him and said, "Are you really not going back to sleep? It's already dawn now. You won't be able to pick up anything if you go out so early."

The child took the steamed bun he handed over and opened the iron gate to go out. "It's already late! I usually leave earlier than this. There are a lot of barbecue stalls that are open all night, and there are a lot of plastic bottles on the roadside that can be collected. At this point, some street cleaners have already come out, so there are not many left to pick up."

As he said this, his face showed regret and heartache.

Shao Linyin was too lazy to persuade him. The APP on his mobile phone vibrated rapidly, reminding him that the bus he was going to take would arrive in two stops. He strode with his long legs to catch the bus.

At the end of the day, when finishing up, the master was particularly happy: "It was a good day today! The car and counterweight are both done! There are only some simple finishing touches left.

Damn it, the main structure is ready, let's work on it slowly tomorrow and give it to him on the tenth day! Otherwise, this crappy company will try to shorten our construction period from now on! "

Shao Linyin was also happy, but he really had no strength. When he was picking up the tools, he felt that his arms were numb and trembling uncontrollably.

The master also knew that today's workload was a bit heavy for a teenager like him, so he patted his shoulder, which made him lean his shoulders down to reduce the force on his shoulders.

The master sensed something was wrong and opened his collar, only then did he see the wound that had been worn away: "Kid, why didn't you tell me you were hurt?"

Shao Liyin pulled down his master's hand and said, "It's nothing, just a broken skin. I hope it doesn't cause any trouble."

As he spoke, he put the last tool into his bag: "Master, if everything is fine, I'll go back first, okay?"

The master took the bag from him and said, "Okay, let's go back. Be careful on the road. By the way, we don't have to be so early tomorrow. We can arrive before noon. Just don't let the owner see that we are not here and gossip about us. Got it?"

"I understand. Thank you, Master. You should go back early." As he said this, he walked towards the bus stop.

The bus hadn't arrived yet, so he leaned against the bus stop to rest. The time on his phone showed that it was already ten o'clock, and it would take him eleven o'clock to get back.

He closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly thought of the child. He had agreed with him to go back at ten o'clock, and he didn't know if he was squatting at the door again and whether he had eaten.

Speaking of meals, he regretted giving him two extra buns in the morning. He should have bought only one. He could have eaten it in the morning. It didn't matter if he wasn't full.

I bought three, and I saved the other two for lunch and dinner.

While he was thinking about random things, the bus arrived. There was plenty of space on the last bus, so he set an alarm to get off the bus and prepared to take a nap.

I just sat down and relaxed my whole body, but I was so sore that I couldn't even close my eyes. When we arrived at the station, my legs staggered when I got off the bus.

He held onto the billboard on the platform and laughed at himself. He thought that his master syndrome could not be cured!

He can endure hardship and pain, but his body is always more vulnerable than others.

Although they were also working at the construction site, he always had more advantages than his colleagues in the company. He even had to follow the master to do the installation, while his colleagues were mostly doing indoor maintenance.

They were lifting the same things and moving the same counterweights. When the master was shirtless, he would only get a red spot on his shoulder, which would go away the next day. But when it came to him, he was wearing clothes and still got his skin rubbed raw.

It’s no wonder that his colleagues always teased him, saying that he only had the delicate skin and tender flesh of a rich young master, but he lacked the fate to be reborn as a rich young master.

He shook his head helplessly and self-deprecatingly, then stood up and prepared to walk back. Just as he let go, his hand was grabbed by someone, and then placed on a very uncomfortable shoulder.

"You can hold me up."

He looked down and saw a little child, the one he was worried about because he had saved the meat buns for dinner.

The first thing he asked when he saw the child was, "Have you finished your buns from this morning? Did you leave any for tonight?"

"..." The child was speechless for a moment, "I'm done eating." After a pause, he said, "I'll treat you to egg fried rice today."

He supported the child and walked step by step towards the tube-shaped building where he lived.

In fact, he didn't really use any force, but he just didn't want to let go.

I forgot how long it had been since someone told him, "You can hold me up."

I have been alone for too long, I get sick alone, I get hurt alone, I eat alone, and I go home alone.

Suddenly one day, a child came up to him and said, "You can hold me," and he felt like he didn't want to let go.

He laughed unconsciously, Shao Linyin, you are really going backwards as you grow older.
