"...I'm very thin, I don't have much meat, and I can't sell much."

Ning Shu frowned, and said, "I didn't mean that when I said "flesh compensation."

"My bones are not worth much..."

"..."

The child stared at him blankly, and said cautiously, "Then what do you mean? There is really nothing on me that can pay off the debt."

Ning Shu stretched out his hand and touched his head, with a gentle smile on his face: "Living people are very valuable. Now a pig can sell for seven thousand, of course you are worth more than a pig."

The corner of the child's eyes twitched, but he surprisingly didn't refute.

"Now let's get some information about both parties." Ning Shu put on a serious face, "My name is Ning Shu, who are you?"

"My name is Mingxi."

"age?"

"Thirteen."

Ning Shu was slightly surprised, Ming Xi's figure was very thin, he thought this child was less than 12 years old.Probably, malnourished since childhood.

"What grade is it? Where do you study?"

"It should be in the first year of middle school..." Ming Xi frowned, and thought hard, "In Twelfth Middle School, but, I haven't been there for a long time."

"why are you not going?"

"The main reason for the orphanage to study for me is because of the nine-year compulsory education. It is illegal not to sign up for me. What's more, the tuition fees of elementary and junior high schools are supported by state subsidies." Mingxi explained with a gloomy expression , "When I go to high school, the orphanage won't be able to afford the money. No matter how hard I try, I won't be able to go to high school, as long as I can read and write."

"I remember the orphanages in this city are not so poor."

Ming Xi turned to look at him with deep eyes: "I also remember that the bureaucrats in this city are not so clean as to be greedy."

Ning Shu nodded, understood.

There is more than one orphanage, and the treatment in different districts of the city is not the same. The ones that receive a lot of attention are full of fun, while the ones that live at the bottom are exploited by layers of officials.Even orphans live with a sense of inferiority.

Ning Shu sighed, frowned and said nothing.

Ning Shu, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth, naturally did not realize what it was like to live without even being able to read.Staring at the bewildered child lying on the hospital bed, Ning Shu's sympathy suddenly seemed to overflow.

I don't know if this kid is too stubborn or what is wrong with Ning Shu. Ning Shu, who never plays cards according to common sense, suddenly changed his previous thinking. Careful: "You were surrounded and beaten yesterday, why?"

"Money." Ming Xi spoke concisely.

"Money is more important than life?" Ning Shu frowned.

"This is money for my sister's study. It's very important, I can't give it."

"They were all discouraged and left. Why did you come back with that trick?" Ning Shu's brows still did not loosen. "Didn't the money not be confiscated?"

"This kind of thing didn't happen once or twice," Ming Xi explained, "I fought back this time just to teach them a lesson, and if they have scruples in the future, maybe they won't bother me again."

Ning Shu was silent, neither refuted nor agreed.

"I don't go to school and run around, just to find some part-time jobs to earn money. I can't continue to study, but my sister..." Mingxi looked up at him, looking straight into his eyes with burning eyes, "I know I owe you a lot Money, but you must not touch this money."

Ning Shu also looked at him, and said, "After high school comes university, and the money burns more and more, can you afford it?"

"I'll be an adult in five years, and my younger sister won't go to college until seven years later." Ming Xi calculated clearly, "It's not impossible to raise money."

This kind of life of working hard for others all his life... Ning Shu's frown deepened.

Ming Xi stopped talking, he looked at Ning Shu's face, a little bit at a loss.

"Do you want to make money?" Ning Shu asked, with a touch of coaxing.

"nonsense……"

"I have a good suggestion for you."

Three days later, Ming Xi was discharged from the hospital. His wound was not deep, and even though the bandages all over his body had not been completely removed, he was almost healed.

However, until Ming Xi dragged his little luggage to Ning Shu's house, he was still in the fog.

Ning Shu threw his luggage into the next room, and when he turned around, he saw Ming Xi was still holding on to the adoption procedure in a daze.

"You can't believe it?" Ning Shu sat on the carpet and looked at him with a half-smile.

"Why adopt?" Ming Xi looked at him with a blank expression.

"Adoption is just a formality, it cannot change the fact that you are a coolie." Ning Shu said earnestly, "You must learn to see the essence through the appearance."

"Adopt me, does your family agree?"

Ning Shu patted his head and said, "I'm an adult, not a brat, so I don't need to consult my guardian for everything."

"...Then what will you do when you get married?"

Ning Shu rubbed his nose and said with a smile, "That's a pre-ordered flower girl."

"..."

What Mingxi didn't hear was Ning Shu's secret sneer: "I want to get married? The Celestial Dynasty hasn't passed this law yet, right?"

But Ming Xi continued to ask in a daze: "...Why can the procedures be completed so quickly? It's only been three days..."

"What is your orphanage lacking the most?"

Mingxi replied without hesitation: "Money."

"Guess what I gave?"

"Money..." Mingxi was silent for a while, and then said again, "Bribes are not good."

Ning Shu spread his hands and said, "I just followed their rules. I even helped your orphanage, isn't that good?"

Ming Xi frowned, but he didn't refute, he just changed the question: "What am I going to do?"

"Cleaning, since you're too short to reach the stove, we'll talk about cooking later." Ning Shu thought for a while, "Also, don't let messy people in."

Ming Xi twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "What is a messy person?"

"People who are not brought back by me are all messy people."

"……OK."

"And the most important point." Ning Shu stood up with a serious face and patted Ming Xi's shoulder, "Go study hard. I'll pay for the tuition."

On Mingxi's face, there was a little touch of emotion.

"Of course the wool comes from the sheep, and you are the one who needs to use your labor to repay the debt." Ning Shu withdrew his hands, saw the fleeting touch on Ming Xi's face, stretched his waist, and said, "I'm going to sleep." Take a nap, your room is next to mine, and when your injury is fully recovered, you can start working to pay off your debts."

Ning Shu's routine is very regular when he is not drunk.Ming Xi waited until the door of Ning Shu's room closed with a slam, and then walked cautiously towards his own room.

After walking in and closing the door, Ming Xi let out a slight sigh of relief leaning against the wall.

Ning Shu's house is actually not big, with two bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom, but the decoration is very beautiful, just like the owner of this house, when he saw it for the first time, if he didn't amaze his eyes for three seconds, he would be sorry for his eyes.Even this small guest room has been devoted to it.Mingxi stood at the door and watched for a long time, but couldn't move.

Even though Ning Shu said that he was a coolie, Ming Xi knew that compared to his previous self, this kind of thing was like a heaven and a world.Where can I get tired of cleaning the room?Besides, having books to read and sleeping in this kind of place is beyond Mingxi's expectation.

After being stiff for a while, Ming Xi began to take out his things and slowly tidy them up.But there is still an unreal feeling in my heart, as if I feel that I will be kicked out of this place sooner or later.

When it was time to eat dinner at night, Ning Shu put aside the book in his hand, looked sideways at Ming Xi's face, and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Huh?" Mingxi was a little taken aback.

"Forget it, I can't say anything looking at your dumbfounded appearance. I was blind at the time and thought you had a bit of aura," Ning Shu muttered for a while, then raised his voice and announced, "You eat what I cook, No fussy eating."

You cook...Mingxi was really surprised.When Ning Shu saw this man, he felt that he was a young master who didn't touch the spring water with his fingers. He could cook?

Could it be the legendary dark cuisine... Ming Xi swallowed hard, but the master in front of him was the patron, so he decided that even if Ning Shu served the dish, he would definitely say it was delicious.

To Mingxi's surprise, Ning Shu not only knows how to cook, but is also quite skilled.

What Ming Xi didn't know was that Ning Shu opened a restaurant, without this hand, it really couldn't be justified.

When Ning Shu was concentrating, he was very beautiful. Even though he was surrounded by soy sauce and vinegar, a beauty was still a beauty. Mingxi blushed when he looked at it.

The dishes in the evening are rich and well matched by Ning Shu.Ming Xi hadn't eaten such a dish for a long time, and he enjoyed this dinner very much.

That night, Mingxi lay on the soft bed with his eyes open, still feeling like a dream.

The next day was Saturday, Ning Shu had something to go out, and Ming Xi was at home alone.After cleaning the house, she lay obediently on the desk and flipped through a book.

There are a lot of lessons left behind in junior high school, Mingxi is not in a hurry, and slowly looks at it bit by bit. It was a very quiet morning, but the doorbell suddenly rang.

It's not Ning Shu, he has the key so there's no need to ring the doorbell.Ning Shu's phrase "Don't let messy people in" floated slowly in Mingxi's mind.

So Ming Xi wisely chose to ignore it and continued reading.

The man pressed persistently, but Mingxi ignored him persistently.

After a long time, the doorbell stopped. Mingxi just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a voice from downstairs that almost roared: "Ning Shu!!! I love you!!! Please accept my love!!!"

The pen in Mingxi's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

It's not that he was so surprised to hear Ning Shu's confession, after all, it's a crime that no one chases after that appearance.However, that roaring voice was clearly a male voice...

In order to prove that it was not a girl with a stronger voice, Ming Xi sneaked a peek through the floor-to-ceiling windows cautiously.

It was undoubtedly a man, but Ning Shu was also a man.

Ming Xi, who only had a simple impression of love in his youth, was deeply shocked.Only then did he seem to understand what those "messy people" in Ning Shu's eyes meant.

Ning Shu didn't come back until evening, but at that time, there was only a bunch of scattered rose petals downstairs.

Ning Shu, who opened the door and came in, felt that Ming Xi looked at him in a strange way today.
