"What are you going to do with the money?" Bai Yi asked casually as he sorted out the ledger.

Zhang Li was sitting on a bench with his long legs slanted on the table in front of him. His hands were folded across his chest and his hair covered his eyes so that people could not see his expression clearly.

Now there are only the two of them in this small lounge, Chen Junxiang has gone to buy a drink, no one comes to play billiards during this time period, it seems that there are only two of them left in the world for a while.

Bai Yi reminded: "Who owns the real estate certificate of your house? It can't be sold without the head of the household, right?"

"As long as you have a real estate certificate." Zhang Li didn't look up, "They will find a way for the rest."

It seems that the legal system in this mission world is not perfect, especially in this remote county, it is even more chaotic.

Bai Yi smiled on his face, but sighed in his heart, the reality seemed to push Zhang Li to a dead end.

The mother who died young, who has the habit of domestic violence and owes money to hide or escape from the father, will take the house to pay off the debt.

He was burdened with a huge debt, and was forced into the abyss step by step.

In the end, there is such an ending, which is also expected.

"If you don't have enough money for a while, I still have..." Bai Yi sat next to Zhang Li, with a gentle expression and a warm attitude, like a reliable and caring big brother.

He hugged Zhang Li's shoulders, put his head in front of Zhang Li's eyes, and smiled.

Almost instantaneously, Zhang Li suddenly felt Bai Yi's breath, and in front of him was Bai Yi's face, and Bai Yi's gentle eyes, and those eyes were only looking at him at this moment.

Bai Yi was stunned. He sat on the bench and looked up at Zhang Li who suddenly stood up.

"No need." Zhang Li's expression was callous, even though Bai Yi could only see half of his face at this moment.

Zhang Li's fist was clenched by his side, his teeth were clenched tightly, and he said almost gnashing his teeth: "I will find a way by myself."

Bai Yi suddenly wanted to ask maliciously: What can you think of?How did you get that money?If you don't accept my help, you can only find that brother Huo or compromise with that brother Yang. In comparison, accepting my help obviously pays the least price.

But self-restraint and habit made Bai Yi swallow these words back.

Bai Yi was still smiling, but his eyes were cold. He tried to show his affection to one person again and again, but he kept hitting a wall. No matter how good his patience was, it had reached a critical point at this time.

Zhang Li suddenly said, "I... don't want to take your money."

"That's not a small amount of money."

"not worth it."

Bai Yi gently closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there were still those gentle and warm eyes.

"Then have you figured out a solution?" Bai Yi looked at him, "More than 1 yuan seems like a lot now, but with inflation and the rapid development of the market economy, more than 1 yuan will soon become an ordinary number."

"So you don't have to worry about paying me back."

Bai Yi: "And the money is not important to me."

His eyes were focused: "It's not as important as you."

It's not whether it's worth it or not, but whether it's important or not.

Zhang Li did not let go: "I will find a way."

From childhood to adulthood, no matter what he has experienced, no one has extended a helping hand to him. He has become accustomed to the reality of being alone and helpless. There is an abyss in front of him, and a cliff behind him. He can't stop, and there is nowhere to rest. Can keep going until there is no way forward.

Now that he was already standing in front of the abyss, he couldn't drag Bai Yi down.

Bai Yi also stood up, shoulders parallel to each other, and he said softly, "No matter what method you plan to use to raise the money, as long as you ask, I'll have it here."

Zhang Li turned to look at Bai Yi, and nodded slightly.

He heard this, but he would not actually do it.

The next few days were very peaceful, Zhang Li went to and from work with Bai Yi as usual, sometimes eating out at night, sometimes Bai Yi made it, and Bai Yi also knew Zhang Li’s taste from this, for example Zhang Li didn’t like to eat Vegetables, only eat meat, like to eat strong flavor dishes, do not eat boiled eggs, fried eggs like to eat soft.

Bai Yi observed Zhang Li. It had been a long time since he had observed a person so carefully. He saw something from Zhang Li that he had never seen before.

Before Zhang Li, he had no contact with people at the bottom of society.

He was very popular, he lived a prosperous life, he always had many friends, and everyone thought he was a gentle and kind person.

After a long time, Bai Yi himself fell into hallucinations, as if he was really a good person.

However, whenever he does "good deeds", he will suddenly find that he doesn't care about others because he is full of compassion and compassion. When he does anything, he will clearly calculate in his mind What will you give and what will you gain.

But no one ever found out his true colors.

The true face hidden under the gentle, kind and hard shell, if someone finds out one day, it might make people sick, right?

But Zhang Li and him are two completely different people. Although Zhang Li is reticent and always has the indifference and rebelliousness of a rebellious teenager, he will not pretend to be himself. He behaves as he is, Don't force yourself to be friends with others, and don't force yourself to be a "good person" in the eyes of others.

Even though he lived a difficult life, he never thought of becoming another person.

Bai Yi didn't even know who was more tired than Zhang Li.

After being born in society, Bai Yi has never seen anyone like Zhang Li again. Most of them are ordinary people, tempered by the world and become smoother.

Even students will think about how to get in touch with friends and be more popular with girls. They will subtly change themselves in order to get the results they expected.

During the rebellious period, he said: "I am who I am, and I don't care about other people's eyes."

But after the rebellious period, when moving from the fantasy world to reality, there will still be unconscious compromises.

People always live in the eyes of others, wanting to avoid it, but it is unavoidable.

Bai Yi sat on the sofa and watched Zhang Li walk in from the door, holding two bowls of noodles in each hand. Zhang Li only knew how to cook noodles, which tasted average and could satisfy his hunger. His palms were big and strong with calluses on them. , won't feel the noodle bowl is hot.

Zhang Li put the bowl on the table, took two pairs of chopsticks and placed it on it, then turned to Bai Yi and said, "Eat noodles."

Putting down the book in his hand, Bai Yi walked to the dining table, Zhang Li had already pulled out the chair in advance, he just needed to sit on it.

The two ate noodles in silence, Bai Yi looked at Zhang Li, who was lowering his head.

Zhang Li behaved too calmly, as if he didn't have huge debts on him, nor did he have a father who owed money and ran away.

Zhang Li behaved normally this day. He has been renting at Bai Yi's house recently. Yesterday he asked Brother Huo to advance the next month's salary in advance, and gave all the money to Bai Yi.

Bai Yi did not refuse.

People have self-esteem, although this self-esteem is unnecessary in the eyes of others.

During the day, Zhang Li pried open the door of his house—the key was taken away by Zhang Wu, and they lost their whereabouts together.

Bai Yi didn't follow, because Zhang Li made it obvious that he didn't want Bai Yi to follow.

As soon as the door opened, Zhang Li walked into the room and closed the door behind his back.

He didn't want Boyi to see the scene inside the door, this dilapidated, dirty room full of wine bottles and garbage, even if he let Boyi take a look, Zhang Li felt that it was a blasphemy to Boyi.

In his opinion, a person like Boyi should live in a spacious and bright house, take a car to go in and out, and not have to deal with daily necessities for the rest of his life. He should live a chic and gentle life, and everyone can only look up to him.

Zhang Li packed up his "nothing" belongings, bowed his waist and put them in the bag.

Not long after he discovered his shady thoughts, and before he had time to feel the soreness and pain in it, he suddenly discovered that he was actually not even qualified to dream.

The person he expected was standing on the clouds, but he was in the mud, half of his body was trapped in it, unable to move.

He doesn't even have the qualifications to be friends with the other party.

Because he had nothing and was born poor.

The other party likes to read books, but he hasn't even graduated from high school.

He can neither be the soul friend of the other party, nor can he help the other party financially.

Zhang Li took a deep breath, and he clenched his hand holding his clothes into a fist. The lights in the room were not turned on, and only Zhang Li stood alone. He felt pain, but he didn't know where the pain came from.

Why do we have to see the light when we have been living in darkness?

If it were not for the sudden arrival of light, he would not find the darkness unbearable.

In particular, he clearly knew that this light did not belong to anyone.

Zhang Li looked up and saw the wedding photo hanging on the wall of the living room in the dim light. In the photo, his mother had a happy smile on his face, and his father also had a restrained and shy smile. They held hands, although they were not wearing a wedding dress, But anyone can see that this is a wedding photo.

Because they look happy.

But still came to a dead end.

The mother committed suicide, and the father became a selfish and crazy waste.

Before he had time to feel love, he began to face countless malice.

Zhang Wu called him a bastard, and his relatives thought he was an ignorant bastard, and one day he would follow Zhang Wu's old path.

Zhang Li raised his head, his eyes were red, but not filled with sadness.

It's the pain of wanting but not getting.

He found out the real estate certificate, as well as his parents' marriage certificate and household registration booklet.

After putting these into the bag, he wiped his face, and finally began to seriously look at the "home" he had lived in for more than ten years.

In the end, he carried the bag and slowly closed the door under the light coming in from outside the house.

It's like closing the door on everything from the past.

Abandoned completely.

"Are you back?" Boyi said habitually when he heard the knock on the door and opened the door for Boyi.

Zhang Li didn't answer, he stood at the door, obviously dressed neatly, but Bo Yi felt that he was as embarrassed as a bereaved dog.

Bai Yi lowered his voice: "What's wrong?"

Zhang Li didn't go into the room, he just stood at the door, unwilling to look at Bai Yi's face and glasses.

After the weird silence, Zhang Li's voice sounded, difficult but firm: "I'm going to sell the house, and I've found a way to make money. I won't live here, and I won't go to the billiard hall anymore."

Bai Yi was stunned, but Zhang Li continued: "I will write to you when I get to the place."

Bai Yi frowned: "Where are you going?!"

But Zhang Li didn't answer him.

Zhang Li held the bag and looked at Bai Yi's toes.

Bai Yi was wearing slippers. His insteps were white and his toes were round. He had never traveled long distances or endured hardships.

Zhang Li thought silently.

He can endure all the hardships and let the person in front of him live a good life worthy of him.

As long as God is willing to give him some time.
