Chapter 174 Reality Connection
Xiao Guangtuan was stunned for a moment, and the Su Hu found an opportunity, stretched its neck and licked him.
Little Light Group: "...Go away!!!"
"Yuanbao."
The Su Mu woofed reflexively.
Shi Yu stood by the door: "Come here."
Su Mu ran over and climbed up using his two front paws to hold onto the door frame.
Xiao Guangtuan felt his body lighten up, and he was finally able to breathe. He stared at the dog warily, and asked in confusion, "What does it have to do with me?"
Shi Yu reached out and rubbed the dog's head twice: "When did you become familiar with the family downstairs?"
Xiao Guangtuan paused, his eyes dodging: "That's it..."
"When you were delivering the bowl to someone that day?"
The little light ball opened his mouth and shrank his head for a while: "Actually, it's not that familiar..."
Shi Yu lowered his eyes: "They want to take you in as their godson, aren't they that familiar with you?"
“…”
"You just happen to be in need of a guardian, why don't you just go and discuss it with them?"
Little light group: “?”
Shi Yu's suggestion was serious: "Their dog is also very close to you."
In front of Xiao Guangtuan's eyes, there seemed to appear a GIF of himself digging a hole and burying himself.
Wait, he suddenly realized: "Is this their dog?!"
"They found a buyer for their previous residence and are going to another city to negotiate. They don't know anyone here, so they're entrusting their pets to you, the only one they know."
Shi Yu walked to the living room: "They said that they knew I had a dog cage so they could send their pets here without worry - is that what you said?"
Little Light Group: “…”
"You just went downstairs for half an hour. What else did you say to them?"
“…”
Xiao Guangtuan didn't dare to say a word.
If he let the person involved know what he had said to others openly or secretly that day, the consequences would be...
Xiao Guangtuan quickly stopped the thoughts in his mind.
Shi Yu lowered his head and reviewed all the information about Su Mu's tastes, preferences, personality, and other matters in the chat box, then turned off his phone, feeling a little headache.
Still a little confused.
He didn't know what the system had done when it took over his body during the two days since he entered the game, but based on previous experience, it should have been completely in line with his own living habits.
So, why on earth would he add a stranger he had only known for less than two days to his social media account?
Yuanbao chased to the living room, squatted beside the sofa, and spontaneously buried his head in the palm of the acting poop scooper and rubbed it.
The fur of the Scottish Shepherd is thick, long and soft, and the one in front of us is obviously very favored by its original owner, with its yellow, white and brown fur that is shiny and sleek.
Shi Yu silently let it push into her palm, and suddenly remembered something: "Are you interested in going to school?"
The little light ball was staring at the dog that dared to stick to him, and was stunned when he heard the words: "Ah?"
Shi Yu: "You were not there when the family downstairs delivered the dog. Judging from the message, they must have used the lie that you were in school. Do you want to cover up the lie?"
Little Light Group: “…”
He had finally completed the necessary courses for the gods and their subjects in the divine realm, and immediately entered the system to work after completing the courses. Now that he had come to the mortal world, he had to go to school again?
Shi Yu thought for a moment and said, "I remember there is a public elementary school two kilometers away from Tianshui Lanwan. It only takes two stops to get there by bus."
Although Xiao Guangtuan didn't understand what "public" meant, the others understood: the school is close to the community, so does that mean he has a reason to live here when he goes to school?
"It's a 20-minute walk." Shi Yu lowered her head to ask for advice, "Do you think it's okay?"
The little light ball was looking at him with shining eyes: "Okay!"
Shi Yu: “?”
He was a little confused about where the other party's excitement came from, but he didn't ask. He lowered his head, opened his phone, and turned to the dialog box with the note "running errands".
The errand boy replied quickly and said he would do it immediately.
The owner was concentrating on sending messages. Yuanbao no longer had a human palm to hold, so he sat on the ground and wagged his tail three times, then suddenly turned his gaze to the small ball of light beside him.
The little ball of light shrank back.
Yuanbaoshasha stuck out his tongue and pounced on him.
Little Light Group: “……?!”
Shi Yu was about to quit, but at this moment, his phone started vibrating again.
What is Wen like?
The other party got straight to the point: "Nanzhi's college entrance examination results came out today. I want to set up a party for her. Do you want to come?"
College entrance examination results...
Shi Yu looked up at the calendar and found that it was already July. Before he could say anything, a voice suddenly rang out from the side: "Don't come over here!"
He looked up and saw Little Radish Head being pinned to the ground by Yuanbao again, unable to move.
Wen Hesi, who was on the other end of the phone, heard the scream and took the phone away to check. The note was correct. He moved the phone back and asked, "When did you have a child?"
“…”
"Do you believe me if I say I just slipped my tongue?"
“…”
Let’s not talk about the question of whether it was a slip of the tongue or not, but for a lawyer to make such remarks, it is clear that the impact he has suffered is definitely not small.
Wen Hesi laughed and asked again: "When did you raise a child?"
Shi Yu called Yuan Bao back and told him not to mess with children. He replied, "I got him from the orphanage half a month ago."
During the time he was in the hospital, Lian Gui used his connections with the police to prepare a complete set of identity information for Xiao Guangtuan. Not a single document was missing, and the orphaned Xiao Baicai was Xiao Guangtuan's personality in the mortal world.
Although Wen Hesi couldn't understand why his creditor suddenly wanted to raise a child, he didn't ask: "It's really not good to leave the child alone at home, why not bring him here with you?"
Xiao Guangtuan was sitting at the dining table five meters away, staring at a dog, trying to see who would get dry eyes first.
Shi Yu only took a glance and then looked away: "No need."
He now has more than one child at home, there is also an adult sheepdog.
Wen Hesi sighed: "That's a pity, Nanzhi has always wanted to meet you."
Shi Yu walked to the balcony: "Didn't you tell her?"
Wen Nanzhi is Wen Hesi’s sister who once suffered from heart disease.
When Wen Hesi was fooled by Shi Yu into working as a nanny with the word "getting a salary", she used the advance money to save her sister's life. Outside the operating room, the reason she gave was "family savings".
It's not that I think Shi Yu is shameful, it's just that the child just turned ten seven years ago, and had just experienced the destruction of her family. I was worried that if the other party knew about it, she would be obsessed with it and feel that she was the one who owed him something and was inferior to him in her studies and life from then on. That's why I never told her in person that she was able to survive because of someone's kindness.
At least wait until you are an adult.
"I wish she didn't know, but she guessed it herself. What can I do?" Wen Hesi twirled the pen in a circle, looked up and saw someone who appeared at the door at some point, "But if you don't want to come, forget it. If you have nothing else to say, hang up first."
Without waiting for a response, he hung up the phone and stood up: "Why are you here?"
Wen Nanzhi said, "The notebook is used up. I'll get another one."
The notebooks were issued by Wen Hesi's law firm. They were black and thick-backed, and he would take them home and give them to his sister if he couldn't use them all. He did it to save money when he was struggling, but now it has become a habit.
Wen Nanzhi took out a bag of black leather books from the cabinet, which had not been unwrapped: "Don't you want to come, benefactor?"
"I heard it." Wen Hesi was not surprised. "He is not in good health. Don't make things difficult for him."
Wen Nanzhi: "I just want to thank him."
She had a heart transplant and returned to school. She did not fall behind in her studies and often participated in extracurricular activities. She only had shoulder-length hair and wore clothes that would have called her a tomboy at her age. She was invited to speak under the national flag because she got first place in the exam, and she would step on the three-pointer and shoot the ball into the net to win cheers from the whole stadium. She lived the life that other boys and girls of her age admired and envied the most. No one could have imagined that she was once a pale and thin little poor girl who needed to rely on hospital equipment to survive.
And now the poor little girl has grown up and become a graceful young lady.
"I'll tell him what you said." Seeing that she hadn't left yet, Wen Hesi asked again, "Anything else?"
"have."
"What?"
The girl asked seriously, "How many years did you sign with him?"
Wen Hesi didn't seem to understand what she meant for a moment.
"You should have paid off the money you owed him in the past seven years, but you still say you owe him." Wen Nanzhi's tone was like solving a math problem, "Did you sell your body?"
“…”
What on earth did his sister learn in school?
The girl explained to the innocent school: "I saw this in the novel I was just reading. I sold myself to pay off my debts."
He had never bought Wen Nanzhi a mobile phone before she graduated. She just got a smartphone a week ago. Besides making calls and sending text messages, the first thing she learned to use it was to read novels.
He subconsciously asked, "What novel?"
Wen Nanzhi repeated seriously and without any expression: "The humble spare tire escaped and the domineering boss was buried in the crematorium."
“…”
"The spare tire inside sold herself to the boss in order to cure her mother's illness."
“…”
Wen Hesi ruffled her short hair into a mess: "Don't read these messy novels in the future."
She didn't hide, with her short hair messed up by him: "Then why do you keep in touch with him?"
"The money is settled, but he still owes me his life." Wen Hesi said, "We have to keep a close eye on him."
Wen Nanzhi had a dazed expression.
Wen Hesi found an excuse: "In case he commits suicide by burning charcoal without my knowledge one day."
“…”
Wen Hesi finally sent the person away and turned on his phone again. The screen was still on the address book interface.
The phone call that was just hung up floated at the top, with the note "creditor".
He was never an emotional person. He had done a lot of things like finding logical loopholes and interrogating people, and he would not let the ups and downs of emotions in the process affect his judgment. But for Shi Yu, he sincerely felt that the other party had no will to live - yes, it was the kind of metaphysical thing mentioned in the bloody TV dramas when the scenes outside the operating room were filmed, and the doctor's indispensable line "Whether he can wake up depends on the patient's will to live"
If the person in the bloody operating room was the other person, he had no doubt that when the doctor came out and announced the death, he would definitely add a reason that had no scientific basis, such as "the patient had no desire to live."
Maybe the other person's "sexy ghost" image was too deeply rooted in people's minds when they first met; maybe the other person is close to animals but never brings them home to cultivate a long-term bond; maybe it is the other person's lifestyle that does not take his physical health seriously at all; maybe the only thing the other person did at his mother's funeral was to light a stick of incense; or maybe it was simply that when the other person woke up from the hospital bed after surviving the gates of hell, the look in his eyes was no different from the look he gave to flowers and plants.
Of course, burning charcoal to commit suicide is nonsense, but being afraid of the other person's death is real. It's not that I'm worried that the other person will jump off a building to add to the fun, nor that I'm worried that the other person will help the murderer stab me, but I feel that in a situation where I need desire to support my survival actions, the other person will definitely not have the corresponding desire.
It sounds heroic and open-minded to disregard life and death, but is it still a normal person if one is truly free of desires?
He exited the address book and started booking a restaurant for the banquet.
