This Male Was Forced To Support His Family

The eight-year-old boy, Gu Yu, met the ten-year-old Lu Chen for the first time outside the small gate of the Children's Paradise on Friday.

By the trash can.

The little boy with short white hair raised his head, holding a basket of cookies that were still warm, and asked the boy who was half a head taller than him: "Brother, do you buy cookies?"

The half-grown boy who was taking out the waste bottles in the bucket was startled by the sudden immature voice.

As soon as he lowered his head, he saw a white-haired little male dressed in a primary school uniform, which reminded him of those expensive dolls in the window.

Lu Chen was a little embarrassed, and hid the plastic bag containing the bottle behind his back, stretched the wrinkled corner of his clothes with the other hand, his eyes wandered, and then he focused on the toe of his whitewashed shoes, and said in a low voice: "No, No……"

He may not be able to afford it.

But the little boy's basket moved closer to him again, and he smelled the sweet smell of cookies, just like this doll-like boy, with the scent of afternoon sunshine, which was incompatible with this cramped and narrow funnel alley.

"Brother, just help me out, it doesn't cost money, just buy my biscuits with little red flowers!"

The little white-haired boy looked at him with pitiful eyes, as if Lu Chen would benefit the boy if he ate his biscuits.

Ten-year-old Lu Chen has never been looked at by Chong with such eyes.

Looking up, poor one.

But equal and warm.Like sunshine, like the sweet smell of biscuits in the air.

These are a pair of pale gray eyes, which should be cold and indifferent when they are calm, like the sky peeped in the gap between the dark forests in the mountains, dark and gloomy.But when he smiled with his eyes, those gloomy eyes seemed to come alive, becoming tainted with a creamy sweet taste.

Lu Chen seemed to be confused by that smile, and unexpectedly nodded: "...Okay."

At that time, he was still immature, at the age of ten, he was at the age of half-old, half-understanding, even though his mind was sensitive and precocious, the hand he stretched out to the little boy still looked so immature, unworthy to hold, fragile Powerless, unable to save too many things, unable to save too many worms, even himself is difficult to save.

The little boy took something out of the basket and handed over a piece of cardboard and a pen: "Just draw a little red flower, thank you for your patronage."

Lu Chen guessed that this might be an activity in the lower grades of elementary school.He was in the fifth grade and had the opportunity to participate in these extracurricular activities, but Lu Chen never responded to the class's group activities. Every time he took a group photo, he was always the one who was absent.

One is that these activities are not free, and the other is that he thinks it is unnecessary.

If you have time to spend time outside, why don't you go back early and help the female father who gets off work in the evening with the housework, and after finishing your homework, you can come out to pick up some bottles and cans of nutrient solution in exchange for money in your free time.

Picking up trash is a technical job, not only must you catch up with the arrival of the city cleaning robot bug, but also have to compete fiercely with your peers.These colleagues are all considered to be Lu Chen's grandpas, and when they saw him, they would yell, "What's wrong with you kid! You still have to compete with us old guys for food!"

Having said that, Lu Chen, a Sanhao primary school student, was embarrassed to compete with these old grandpas for business, so he retreated to the alley to pick up some corner glass bottles.

Lu Chen wiped his hands on the corners of his clothes first, then took the pen and cardboard, and carefully drew a little red flower.He is very good at painting this, and he has done so much since he was a child, and he is familiar with it, but it is good-looking, but it is not worth money.

Ten-year-old Lu Chen was already very realistic. He took a pack of small cookies from the little boy. This was the first time he had exchanged little red flowers for something practical.

What is practical?

Not to starve, not to be poor, and fame and glory are all secondary, this is practicality.

He thanked him and put the neatly wrapped bag of cookies carefully into his coat pocket.

The good-looking white-haired boy looked at him curiously, and asked, "Brother, don't you want to try it?"

Lu was silent for a moment, but he was disrespectful, so he took out the bag again, opened it carefully, picked up a piece inside, tied the bag tightly, put it in his mouth and ate it seriously.

"How is it?" The pupils of the pretty little male worm were indifferent, as if looking at the worm through a layer of frost or mist, but Lu Chen could read a little expectation inside.

"It tastes...delicious." Lu Chen commented, then hesitated, "Did you make it?"

He thought that this little male insect should be very concerned about the taste of the things he made, so he kept chasing him and asking.

"Uh..." The boy tilted his head, "Probably, maybe, it should be... I did it."

Gu Yu thought, the teacher and classmates helped him do it, and in the end he closed the oven door with his own hands - rounding up, it means that he did it, everything is fine.

Lu Chen didn't quite understand what "probably, maybe" meant, but he thought the taste was very good, so he wanted to take the rest back and give it to the female father who came home after hard work to taste.

It's been a long time since they moved to this alley, and it's been a long time since they have eaten luxury things like snacks other than three meals.

In fact, Lu Chen has always understood that there are no truly unnecessary things in the world.Like this kind of extracurricular activities, like biscuits and snacks that can't help but be hungry.

No need, leisure—it means having time and money to squander, which means that for him, it is a distant luxury.

Is fate unfair?Maybe.

But there are too many injustices in this world.Lu Chen never lived a life of wealth and idleness, and he seemed to be a hard worker since he was born. When he was in his original home, he would run errands for the female servant above, his brothers and younger brothers, and help the housekeeper to share the housework.Leaving that home and living with the female father is just a more willing way to continue his hard work.

Leisure means useless and sinful.

Once Lu Chen is allowed to stop one day and really stay at home, maybe he will be more anxious and difficult to adapt.

So Lu Chen didn't have time to complain about himself and his fate.Hatred and injustice can hardly frustrate him. He has to use every quarter of an hour and every moment of his breath to do useful things, do the most efficient things, and win the chance for himself to change his destiny.

Lu Chen knew that he was just an ordinary female, the most indispensable female in the empire.Every year, every month, every day, every minute and every second, countless females like him were born in hospitals of all sizes in the empire.

The number of these females is huge, and they are crowded at the bottom of the society. They are mediocre and diligent for a lifetime, and even the fire pit that his female father once jumped into-marrying a male cannot do it. .But who can say that they are not important?

Who can say that Lu Chen, who is ten years old now, is not important in the future?

Lu Chen never felt that he was inferior, even if his biological male father hated them so much—no, not even loathing, when the male insect looked at him and his female father from above, his eyes were so light and uneasy. He cared, as if he was looking at a tiny weed or ant on the side of the road. Indifference made him suffocate more than disgust.

Lu Chen was forced to look back at his own existence.

A female insect that is absolutely indispensable in the empire, with a slightly clever head, but not so clever that she can be shocked to be a genius and change her destiny in one fell swoop.

They are not as strong as ordinary female insects, and even become as thin as a bamboo pole after being hungry for a long time.It's not as slender and soft as the average sub-female, and the two ends can't please.

So he may have spent all the luck in this life ahead of time. With such an ordinary person, in such an ordinary weather and in such an ordinary place, the good luck with a one in ten thousand chance is not worth it .

——I was met by a little boy who was younger than him, very good-looking, as if he was not in the same world, and as warm as sunshine, and wanted to give him all the biscuits.

"So I'll sell you this basket of biscuits, okay, big brother?" The boy's white feather-like eyelashes fluttered like transparent wings.

"Then you can draw this cardboard full of little red flowers and give it to me?"

The graph paper was filled with little red flowers one after another.Carefully sketched stroke by stroke, the red is vibrant, bright and upward.

"The painting is really great! Thank you very much for your patronage, big brother!"

"Well, but still, every little red flower is painted a little differently." A hint of cunning flashed in the boy's gray pupils, and his index finger rested on his lips, "Shhh, brother, you have to keep it a secret for me. It’s not good to find out.”

……

"Ah! Gu Xiongzi! The teacher asked everyone to take a group photo at the door. Have you sold out your biscuits? They've been sold all afternoon!"

A female in the same school uniform as the little boy stood at the door and called.

"It's coming——it's coming—" Gu Yu's tone was drawn out, with reluctance written all over his face.

He was stuffing the basket into Lu Chen's hand when the teacher came over and called again: "Student Gu Yu, come here, let's take a picture soon! Hmm? Who is that kid over there? —— That little classmate, can you come over and help me?" Shall we take a picture?"

"One is fine, trouble!"

Lu Chen was holding a basket full of cookies in one hand, and the other hand was pulled over by the little male worm in a daze. The teacher enthusiastically stuffed the little worm-eye camera into his hand.

"Well, please, this little classmate, make sure to take pictures of our whole class!"

Lu Chen was pushed in front of the whole class of second-grade pupils for a moment, holding the worm-eye camera in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

The white-haired little boy who was unwilling to be pulled over stood up, but raised his head and smiled at him from a distance, as if to comfort him, and then blinked, as if to say that he wanted to keep it a secret.

Maybe it was because the light at dusk was too good that day.

Lu Chen suddenly felt that this picture was indeed worthy of being preserved forever.

The teacher was still trying to appease me hoarsely: "Everyone, stand still, stand still! Don't push and shout, don't make loud noises! Be quiet, be quiet!"

"Can you learn from Gu Yu, who is in the first row? Although he usually doesn't like to participate in group activities, he is always the quietest one!"

"But teacher," a child raised his hand, "It's obvious that Gu Xiongzi is too lazy to talk or move!"

The whole class laughed loudly, the teacher held his forehead, and Gu Yu smiled into his eyes outside the camera, as if he was not in the same world as his surroundings.

This picture, through the hands of another ten-year-old boy, was preserved forever.

"I see, one last laugh!"

Gu Yu stared at the playground in a daze for a while, then suddenly woke up and said.

"What?" Moore didn't respond for a moment.

Gu Yu lowered his head and said to himself, "I should have known earlier. At that time, there were no insects here except us, and within a few days, the playground would be demolished."

Moore sensed the point from his broken words: "Have you been here before, Major Gu?"

Gu Yu didn't have time to explain, before the group of pursuers who couldn't drive away arrived, he took Moore to a big tree in front of the playground and dug up.Moore was confused, followed the male worm to dig, and actually dug out an iron box.

The box is not big, but when it is opened, it is filled with all kinds of strange things, such as mecha figures, bear dolls, letters in envelopes, small notes of various colors, and finally a photo underneath.

Moore came over to look at it, and was stunned for a moment: "Is this... a group photo of a spring outing in elementary school?"

Gu Yu briefly explained: "I came here for a spring outing when I was in elementary school, and when we were leaving, the teacher in the class at that time asked us to put our treasures into this time capsule, write down what we wanted to say to our future selves, and bury it in the time capsule. Under the tree, you can come and take it when you grow up."

In that group photo, almost all the insects were smiling, even the teacher holding his forehead beside him had a helpless smile on his lips.

Moore suddenly realized: "Is this the 'last laugh'?"

No wonder none of the worms completed the task before. Who would have thought that this was a frozen picture that was buried under a tree.

As the saying goes, difficulty is usually directly proportional to reward.

After submitting the results to the NC boy, Gu Yu and Moore, the poor and silent two-worm team, finally deployed several 50-point and 60-point damage guns. Bottom players are promoted to star coin high players.

As soon as they left the playground, the three remaining teams were lucky enough to bump into each other at the gate.

The tripartite forces are on the verge of breaking out.

Rhea was still shouting at the forefront: "Major Gu, are you still running this time? Didn't you run very fast before?"

The last time the green circle was updated, the range stopped on Funnel Alley, so Gu Yu really had no chance to run away.

Being pinched in the center by two teams, Gu Yu did not panic, the corners of his lips curled up, his handsome eyebrows raised slightly, and he smiled faintly, quite arrogantly.

He slowly loaded the gun one shot at a time, and said, "It's just right, I don't want to run anymore."

……

Half an hour later, Rhea swallowed back the words he had let go with her strength, and all of them fell back on him.

God knows, Gu Yu with equipment is not the same bug as Gu Yu without equipment!

Moreover, it was clearly two teams attacking, but Gu Yu and Moore caught their team and chased after them. Funnel Alley is only so big, running out is elimination, and catching up behind is elimination. Rhea and the others interpreted it with their strength It's hard to run without wings.

The other team is even more inexplicable, it is obviously a three-way battlefield, why do we seem so redundant?

Look at the opposite battlefield again, brutal, really brutal.Sad, really sad.

Are the imperial males so fierce now?In awe, in awe.

Eventually, the panel prompts.

- Current number of survivors: 5.

After the Ruiya team was completely wiped out, they went through another round of elimination. Gu Yu, the vicious two-worm team, sent the other two worms off the examination room.When the number in the arena was reduced to five, small fireworks of warm celebration popped up on all the remaining insect panels.

[Congratulations to the five candidates present for successfully advancing! ]

[Congratulations to Major Moore, Major Alec, Captain Yerry...]

[Congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel Gu Yu! ]
