Chapter 29 Are you short of money?
"Brother, what did you buy?" Little Taozhi stretched out her finger and poked the bulging plastic bag. Her voice was sweet after drinking Wai Wai Shuang.
Nangong Jue handed the plastic bag to Shen Jisui, his expression a little unnatural: "Here, it's for you!"
"?"
Chen Jisui took the bag and opened it. In addition to a lot of bread and snacks, there were stationery such as notebooks, paper, and pens, which filled the entire plastic bag!
Shen Jisui asked, "Did you rob a stationery store?"
Nangong Jue: “…”
"Just take it if I tell you to!" Nangong Jue stuffed the plastic bag into Shen Jisui's hand.
Perhaps understanding Nangong Jue's intention, Chen Jisui confiscated it, but he refused calmly: "No, I don't need it."
Nangong Jue coughed awkwardly. Afraid that Chen Jisui might misunderstand, he hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to pity you! I have everything I need except sympathy! These are just to thank you for tutoring me. Don't overthink it."
Today, while on the bus, Nangong Jue accidentally glanced at Chen Jisui's notebook. The notebook was torn and old, probably someone else's half-written notebook. There was also someone else's name on the cover.
Nangong Jue once overheard the teachers mention Shen Jisui, saying that his parents died early and he was adopted by a poor couple, living in the slums, and his adoptive mother was very mean to him.
Student Shen must have a very hard life.
Nangong Jue looked at the young man in front of him who was the same age as him, and suddenly a feeling of admiration rose in his heart.
Looking at Nangong Jue's stubborn expression, Chen Jisui finally did not refuse: "Thank you."
Two young boys and a baby walked slowly along the side of the road towards the bus stop.
"Student Chen, are you...short of money?" Nangong Jue asked cautiously.
He remembered that Shen Jisui seemed to have worked more than one job.
Chen Jisui was stunned for a moment, then replied calmly: "Not bad."
"If you are short of money, I can actually lend it to you." Nangong Jue said seriously.
Although he didn't have hundreds of millions of points on his magnetic card, he still had tens of thousands of points.
"No, thank you." Shen Jisui politely declined, his long bangs covering the thoughts in his eyes.
Perhaps he can rely on the help of others to get a comfortable life for a while, but he is not a dodder and it is impossible for him to live by relying on others for his whole life.
In this world, the only one he can rely on is himself!
Chen Jisui secretly clenched his palms.
"Brother Ji Sui, Zhizhi also has money~"
Little Taozhi raised his chubby little face and showed the two interstellar coins to Chen Jisui, looking very proud.
The boss was in a good mood today and paid Xiao Taozhi's salary.
"Hey~" Xiao Taozhi put the coin into Chen Jisui's palm.
Chen Jisui was somewhat flattered: "For me?"
You know, the little girl treasures her first bucket of money very much! Nangong Jue is not allowed to even take a look at her coins.
"Hmm~" Little Taozhi nodded, blinking her two dark deer eyes. She said in a baby voice, "Brother Ji Sui bought a drink for Zhizhi, so of course Zhizhi has to give her brother a gift too. This is Zhizhi's gift to her brother. Do you like it?"
Using coins as gifts?
It's quite unique.
Chen Jisui took it carefully, put the two coins separately in another trouser pocket, zipped it up, and then touched Tao Zhi's little head and hummed softly.
The bus arrived soon.
Chen Jisui stood outside the bus stop, waiting in line to get on the bus.
He was wearing a loose, baggy, ill-fitting short-sleeved shirt. A breeze blew by, causing the washed-white hems of his shirt to flutter gently.
The setting sun dyed half the sky red, stretching the boy's thin shadow very long...
Not long after, the Nangong family's private car arrived.
"Master, the eldest lady asked us to pick you and Miss Tao Zhi up." The driver respectfully opened the car door.
Nangong Jue was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his fingertips involuntarily touched his trouser pocket.
It’s my sister!
It was really my sister who arranged for someone to pick him up!
Does this mean that his sister actually cares about him a little?
The boy suddenly felt happy and got into the car happily.
"Brother Jue, what are you laughing at?" Xiao Taozhi asked curiously.
In fact, since Nangong Jue was born, he has never been liked by his elder sister Nangong Yao. Whenever Nangong Yao sees Nangong Jue, she treats him like a mother-killing sorrowful person and never gives him a good face.
Nangong Jue's smile naturally continued as his sister finally treated him better. He didn't answer but asked, "Isn't Xiao Taozhi happy that we're going home soon?"
"Happy!" Little Taozhi touched her flat belly, "Zhizhi is hungry, I want to eat~"
After being busy for most of the day, the little guy's stomach was already rumbling.
The car sped smoothly along the road.
Sudden.
With a loud bang, the car hit a hard object head-on and was forced to stop.
Xiao Taozhi was not wearing a seat belt and rolled off the seat.
"Wow, wow, wow..." Little Taozhi touched her red forehead, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"Are you okay?" Nangong Jue anxiously carried the little girl back to her seat and carefully checked her injuries.
There was another loud "bang".
The car jolted up and down twice.
"What's going on outside?" Nangong Jue asked distractedly.
The car is fully enclosed to block the scorching sun, and only the driver knows the road conditions through the traffic monitoring system.
"Master!" The driver frowned, his face grim. "We...were attacked by wild aliens!"
"What?!"
Nangong Jue, who had never encountered such a situation before, was panicked. He forced himself to calm down, steadied his voice and instructed the driver: "First, block this car, and then contact the police station and the court as soon as possible!"
But the boy's slightly trembling fingertips still betrayed the fear and anxiety in his heart.
On the palm-sized surveillance screen, a ferocious giant ape with black and purple hair was waving its fists and hitting the car hood hard again and again.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The car began to shake violently again, even more violently than the previous two times.
Little Taozhi poked out his little head, and his clear eyes fell curiously on the surveillance screen.
Huh?
That monster looked familiar. She seemed to have seen it somewhere before...
The little guy sucked his fingers, tilted his head and thought for a long time but couldn't remember.
The giant ape's strikes became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that the car was about to collapse and fall apart!
suddenly.
A sharp gunshot pierced the air, and the giant ape fell to the ground.
On the surveillance screen, a man in black slowly walked into the picture.
He was covered in blood, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and his handsome face without blood was full of sinisterness, just like a demon walking out of hell.
Xiao Taozhi's eyes were dull for a moment as she looked at the display screen, but were then replaced by great joy.
That is...
dad!
Thanks to the cute Mingxin for the recommendation~
