In your lifetime, stay safe

Two years later, Hangzhou.

It’s already October season, but the weather shows no sign of cooling down. The sun seems to burn the land every day, and if people walk on the street, they will be sweated in a short while. The clothes are soaked, so there are few pedestrians on the street, but the traffic flow has not decreased, but if there is a traffic jam, it will be a big show after another.

However, on a not-so-busy street in Hangzhou, the shade of trees covers this street, but it has a somewhat leisurely atmosphere.

Xu Xi pushed open the store door, and suddenly felt like he was alive again. Sure enough, in summer, it was the air conditioner that gave people a second life.

"Boss, you're here." Li Shuning said to Xu Xi in a bored manner. In such a hot weather, even the business in the store has decreased a lot.

"No, I brought you milk tea on the way here." Xu Xi handed her the things in his hand, then walked to the counter and sat down to rest.

"Thank you, boss." Li Shuning was delighted, it was such a blessing to be able to drink a cup of iced milk tea in such hot weather.

"By the way, what about Yang Xuan, why didn't you see him?"

"He's in the warehouse. He sent another batch of books just now. He's counting them. He should be here in a while."

Xu Xi didn't say a word, thinking that he should give the two of them a salary increase, otherwise if they ran away and he was left as a poor commander, he wouldn't be able to support the overall situation.Xu Xi looked around at this not-so-big storefront. This was the storefront he bought when he first came to Hangzhou, and he almost spent all his savings on this storefront.At that time, I was eager to gain a firm foothold in Hangzhou, so I thought about opening a store by myself, so that everything could be done more conveniently.Although it was very hard at the beginning, he was busy every day without touching the ground, and he had to deal with those interpersonal relationships. He did almost everything by himself and had to learn everything. Sometimes Xu Xi didn't know that he was How did you persevere? It’s much better now. Although it’s not rich or expensive, it’s better than being ordinary and stable, and being able to do what you like to do is a rare happiness.

Although the physical store's business was good, Xu Xi followed the trend and opened an online store, but he didn't expect the online store's business to be better than the physical store's. He just sent a courier back.Now there are only him and two employees in the store. After all, the store is not very big, and it is a waste to have too many people.Li Shuning is a rather cheerful girl. Although she is a little fat, she has a good personality.The little girl came out to work after graduating from high school. It happened that Xu Xi was recruiting at that time, so she stayed.Xu Xi saw that it was not easy for her, so he would help as much as he could, but now it was considered a family relationship.There is also a boy named Yang Xuan, who is a student from a nearby university and works part-time here. He is tall and handsome, and has good handling skills. They are generally in charge of the affairs of the store. OK.

I came to Hangzhou two years ago with nothing, and now I have finally settled down. I have a simple but happy life, and I should be very content.

"By the way, boss, it seems like Mr. Cheng hasn't been here for a long time." Li Shuning joked, a life without a handsome guy is really boring.

"He seems to be on a business trip." Xu Xi recalled that it should have been a month. When he left before, he said he would come back in a month, and it's almost the same now.

"Boss, don't you miss Mr. Cheng?" Li Shuning already knew that Mr. Cheng was interested in their boss, but the two of them dragged on like this without telling anyone. She was worried about them.

"I don't think it's me, it's yours." Xu Xi still doesn't know what she means, every time Cheng Muhan comes over, he always brings some gifts or desserts. With Li Shuning's character, he probably has been bribed by someone.

"I'm just wondering what's wrong. Look at how tall and handsome Mr. Cheng is. It would be great if I had such a handsome boyfriend."

"I think Yang Xuan is pretty good, he's quite handsome, how can you be so fickle." Xu Xi joked.

"He, forget it." Li Shuning shook his head, as for his well-developed limbs and simple mind, how can he compare with my male god.

"What are you talking about me?" Yang Xuan just happened to come over from behind, his T-shirt was half wet, he took a big gulp of the water placed beside him, feeling much more comfortable.

"I didn't say anything." Li Shuning quickly waved his hands. Sure enough, people want to compare, and he still likes his male god.

Xu Xi smiled lightly, Yang Xuan's character was more outgoing and enthusiastic, but he was a bit too simple and easy to suffer.

After working in the store for a while, Xu Xi looked at his watch. The school should be over at this time, and he might just be able to catch up by going there now.

"You guys get busy first, I'll pick up my son from school." Xu Xi thought of his precious son with joy on his face.

"Boss, you rest, I'll just go. I haven't seen my lovely little Baibai for a long time, so leave such an honorable matter to me." Li Shuning asked Ying.

"Didn't we just meet yesterday?" Xu Xi looked at her. Normally, because of the hot weather outside, Li Shuning would be willing to leave the air-conditioned place for a minute. Why is he so abnormal today.

"Boss, you don't understand. My Xiaobai and I haven't seen each other for a day, so let me go anyway." Li Shuning pleaded. He made an appointment with Xu Wen yesterday, and we will go to the game together today. Hall, how can you miss the appointment.

Xu Xi looked at her like this, as if he didn't promise her that he could hang himself up in the next second, crying, making trouble, and finally he had no choice but to compromise.

"By the way, Boss, my Xiaobai and I have to go on a date, so come back later." Li Shuning packed his things as quickly as possible, and then went out with a parasol, fearing that Xu Xi would be there a second later. It's like regretting it.

Seeing Li Shuning leave as if fleeing, Xu Xi smiled faintly, then walked to the cash register to take over her job.There was a photo of them on the counter. In the photo, Xu Xi was hugging Xu Wen, and Li Shuning was standing at the side. At that time, Yang Xuan hadn't come yet. The photo was taken on the West Lake in Hangzhou, so it is very commemorative.

Xu Xi looked at his precious son in the photo, and felt that he was in a much better mood. If Xu Wen hadn't been there at that time, he might not have persisted until now.Two years ago, I came out of Lu Haosheng's place. I didn't know where I could go, so I got into a taxi and let the driver drive casually. Later, I didn't know where I was. I dragged my suitcase and walked endlessly, as if I couldn't find my way back. Traveler also met Xu Wen at that time.

It was an orphanage, and Xu Wen was a child there. He was adopted by the orphanage after being abandoned by his parents. He grew up alone and was excluded by the people around him, very much like himself now.

At that time, I squatted helplessly on the ground, and he approached me like a ray of light, bringing me the hope of living again.

Xu Wen was not called Xu Wen at that time, but Li Yang, which was given to him by the director of the orphanage, because Xu Wen was still a baby when he was abandoned in the orphanage, and he had nothing on him to prove his identity.After Xu Xi adopted him, he changed his name to Xu Wen, and his nickname was Xiaobai.

But at that time, I didn't have any proof at all to make the director of the orphanage believe that he had the ability to take good care of Xu Wen, so at that time Xu Xi went to Hangzhou alone, started a business by himself, and didn't take Xu Wen away until he had the capital. It only took half a year to bring it back, which shows how hard Xu Xi was at that time.But then gradually everything got better, life gradually got back on track, and they became more and more like normal father and son. Xu Wen was very cute, which was what Xu Xi always thought.

With Xu Wen, Xu Xi truly felt that he had a home, that with a family, he would no longer be alone in the future.

Fortunately, everything is developing in a positive direction. Now Xu Wen is a third-grade student in elementary school. The teacher said that Xu Wen's academic performance is very good.Because of this incident, Xu Xi was happy for a long time, which made his son despise him.

Xu Xi withdrew his thoughts, thinking about what to make delicious for his son when he went back tonight. After all, he is studying so hard now, and it is time for his body to grow, so he naturally needs to replenish his body.

Xu Wen's school is just three streets away from the bookstore. When Li Shuning arrived, the school had already closed, and there were elementary school students everywhere at the school gate, so it was not very easy to find.

"Xu Wen, you are a person without a mother. My mother told me not to play with people like you. People like you have psychological problems." A little boy pointed at Xu Wen and said aggressively .

"Say it again." Xu Wen clenched his little fist. He listened to his father's words and got along well with his classmates, but he was so irritating.

"I said what's wrong, you are a motherless person, your father is useless, you can't keep your mother."

"I'll let you talk." Xu Wen threw the schoolbag and pushed the little boy to the ground, and the two of them were immediately stuck together.

It was originally after school, and the movement here naturally attracted many spectators, but seeing these two children fighting so hard, I don't know what kind of deep hatred there is.

Lu Haosheng was standing by the car when he saw his nephew and a boy come out, but the boy obviously ignored his nephew. Just as Lu Haosheng was about to speak, he saw two children hitting him Together, they hurried over to pull the two children up, and then pulled their nephew behind him. His nephew's own cousin was so cute, and now his face and body were covered in ashes. It's nagging.

"Let me go, let go." Xu Wen yelled, but he was caught by the man in front of him and couldn't move at all, so he could only look at him bitterly.

"I said, what kind of hatred do you two have? You fought so fiercely." Lu Haosheng let go of Xu Xi and acted as a peacemaker. Although he didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the two children, the key point was that one of the children was My nephew.

"You are a child without a mother, and neither does your father. You deserve it." The little boy rushed out from behind Lu Haosheng, and pushed Xu Wen down with a strong force. It was a hot weather, and Xu Wen was wearing a short The sleeves of the T-shirt, a piece of skin was quickly worn out on the palm of the hand, and blood came out of the wound.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Lu Haosheng hurriedly dragged his nephew back, his cousin must be too spoiled, what a little trouble.As he spoke, he was about to help the little boy who fell on the ground, but Xu Wen refused.

Xu Wen hid his injured hand behind his back, looked indifferently at the people in front of him, and those people watching the theater around him, trying not to let himself cry, and not let them see his jokes.

"Xiaobai, what's the matter? Why did you get hurt?" Li Shuning didn't see Xu Wen coming out, and didn't answer his phone calls. He happened to see a lot of people gathered here, but he didn't expect to see Xu Wen as soon as he came over. Wen fell to the ground, and quickly came over to help Xu Wen up, looking at his injured hand hidden behind him, feeling unspeakably sad.

"Xiaobai, tell my sister, whoever bullied you, my sister will ask him to settle the score."

Xu Wen stubbornly didn't speak, but the tears couldn't help dripping down.

"Xiaobai, don't cry, my sister is here, don't be afraid." Li Shuning wiped Xu Wen's tears distressedly, and turned to look at the man in front of him angrily.

"I'm sorry, it was my nephew who accidentally pushed your brother here. I will be responsible for the medical expenses, or we can go to the hospital now." Lu Haosheng stood up and said with a headache. After all, his nephew gave someone else's child to him. If you get hurt, you have to be responsible.

"You said, it was your child who hurt my brother." Li Shuning stood up and protected Xu Wen behind him.

"I'm sorry, we will take responsibility." Seeing her like this, Lu Haosheng also knew that this matter would be difficult to deal with. After all, they are both only children now, and his nephew is not the only baby.

"No need." Li Shuning said coldly, then walked up to the little boy, and was immediately slapped loudly.

"What are you doing." Hearing his nephew's cries, Lu Haosheng quickly hugged him to comfort him, and looked at Li Shuning also very angry. His nephew was at fault, but he couldn't hit him directly.

"What are you doing? Didn't you see it all? Since you can't discipline your own child, I'll discipline it for you. We can pay for the medical expenses ourselves, and we don't need your money." Li Shuning said directly that his precious Xiaobai was Someone bullied me, if I don’t get it back for him, how dare I be his sister, isn’t it just to slap him in the face, and I can do more cruel things by myself, so don’t force me, I’m even afraid of myself when I become ruthless .

"With an adult like you, how can you beat a child? It's too uneducated."

The people around were also pointing and pointing, saying that it is not good for children to have conflicts and adults to intervene.

"Shut up, all of you. Who are you to point fingers at me, and don't judge whether you are worthy? Let me tell you, if anyone dares to bully my younger brother in the future, dare to say a bad word about him, don't say I will beat a child. I won't let you off even my lord, if you don't believe me, try it." Li Shuning said through gritted teeth.

The people around are bullying and afraid of being tough. They were just spectators, but now they have caused a lot of trouble for themselves. After a few complaints, they dispersed.

"Let me tell you, don't think we are easy to bully. Today is just a lesson. If I see you bullying my brother again in the future, I won't kill you." Li Shuning said to the little boy, ignoring the eyes of the man next to him, with a smile on his face. Then Xu Wen left.When he left, he looked back at Lu Haosheng, feeling disgusted in his heart, he looked like a dog, and everything he did was looked down upon.

"Sister, you were awesome just now." Xu Wen took Li Shuning's hand and said with a smile. If Li Shuning hadn't appeared just now, he really didn't know what to do, but his father said that he was already a little man, no matter what happened to him Don't cry about anything, or you will be considered a joke.

"That's right, don't look at who my sister is. If you encounter such a thing in the future, call your sister, and my sister will help you clean them up."

"By the way, sister, can you not tell Dad about this, I'm afraid he's worried."

Li Shuning didn't know what to say, Xiaobai was already so sensible at such a young age, and he always knew how hard it was for the boss to support the bookstore by himself in order to take care of Xu Wen, so he hoped that Mr. Cheng could be with the boss Together, and then be able to take good care of the boss, after all the boss has been too tired.

"Understood, I won't tell your father. Let's go to the game hall now. Didn't you say you were going to play before? Today, my sister will accompany you all the way."

"Why don't you just forget it, Dad won't worry if you go back too late."

"Okay, just do what you say. By the way, my sister just paid her salary, how about asking Xiaobai to eat cake?"

"I want some strawberries."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Li Shuning took Xu Wen's hand and walked back happily. Sometimes happiness is so simple, as long as you know how to be satisfied.

People, only when they are contented and happy can they be truly happy.
