The Paranoid Brother Relies On My Love to Live

In the crowded and lively snack street, Chi Shen expressionlessly slapped the fish-killing knife on the table, making a crisp sound.

Your mother doesn't know how to help her even if she falls, and she doesn't know how to say hello when someone buys fish. Are you nervous again?!"

Your mother... She tripped just now was Chi Shen's mother? Qiao Zhen Zhen widened her eyes in shock, before she could react, she saw Chi Shen grabbing two black plastic bags and walking towards him expressionlessly.

Qiao Zhenzhen just dropped her mother, when she saw him coming, she felt guilty: "That..."

As soon as she said two words, Chi Shen came to her and squatted down on one knee in front of her.

…what is he doing? Kneel down? Qiao Zhen Zhen was so frightened that she forgot to breathe.

The next second, his hand suddenly grabbed her slender ankle.

In the evening of September, even the air was hot and dry, but the temperature in his palm was icy cold, the chill pierced the dull air, wrapped her entire ankle, the back of the pale and bloodless hand , a touch of red is particularly dazzling.

“Lift your feet.”

The boy's hoarse voice fell into her ears through ten years. Qiao Zhen Zhen lowered her head in a daze, and found that he was holding the opened bag in his other hand, waiting beside the ankle he was holding.

"The pool is deep! The pool is deep!"

The bald man was still yelling, seeing the guests waiting impatiently, but Chi Shen didn't even turn his head back, holding the bag intently, he was about to rush over to teach him a lesson, but was given to the middle-aged woman by the middle-aged woman. stopped.

A trace of greed, "This is a fat fish."

The bald man was stunned for a while, and when he saw Qiao Zhenzhen's clothes, he rubbed his hands and laughed.

Qiao Zhenzhen was still stunned, until Chi Shen's grip on her increased, she suddenly came back to her senses, followed his strength and stepped into the plastic bag. Chi Shen lowered her eyes, wrapped her shoes tightly, tied them neatly into a slipknot, and opened the second bag.

This time, without waiting for Chi Shen to speak, Qiao Zhen Zhen hurriedly stretched out her other foot, because standing on one foot was a little unstable, so she subconsciously supported his shoulder.

Chi Shen's back stiffened instantly, and the fingers holding the bag also trembled slightly, Qiao Zhen Zhen stretched her feet in for a long time, and she couldn't help calling him curiously without seeing his next move A voice: "Chi Shen?"

Qiao Zhenzhen waited quietly, and then thanked him after standing up: "Thank you."

Qiao Zhenzhen swallowed her saliva and tried to explain why she appeared here, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of a plausible reason.

The self before leaving Qiao's house, living in a big house and going in and out of big shopping malls, life is like a beautifully packaged and fake gift box, and the oily streets are completely two worlds. It seems that she shouldn't be here, and shouldn't be contaminated with worldliness and cowardice.

"I came with you." Can't think of an excuse, Qiao Zhenzhen decided to tell the truth.

I took a step back.

Qiao Zhenzhen helpless: "I'm scaring you again."

Chi Shen was silent, her face was clearly reflected in her black pupils.

Qiao Zhenzhen sighed, and was about to explain, when she heard him say in a hoarse voice: "Let's go."

Qiao Zhen Zhen paused, saw the rejection flashing in his eyes, then nodded obediently, turned around alone with her schoolbag on her back, and walked slowly towards the way she came.

After walking for a while, she couldn't help but turn her head back and caught Chi Shen's eyes off guard. Chi Shen didn't seem to expect that she would turn back, her eyes moved slightly when they looked at each other, but she didn't avoid her eyes.

"I'm leaving! Go back!" Qiao Zhenzhen smiled and beckoned, then she turned her head and left.

Chi Shen looked at her smiling eyes, her thin lips pursed again, and her face became dark and unclear. He watched Qiao Zhen Zhen's back disappear gradually, and for a long time he stood still like a sculpture.

"Why are you still standing stupidly? Come and help!" The bald head scolded.

Chi Shen lowered his eyes, turned around and returned to the chopping board to continue working, opening, breaking his stomach, and then cutting into pieces and bagging.

Your mother, you starved to death already, you know that, you idiot!"

"Okay, don't you just kill two less fish, don't scold people at every turn," the middle-aged woman turned away from her previous meanness, nibbled melon seeds and smiled, "Find a rich daughter-in-law for comparison. Selling fish is much more important, it’s better to be an only child, and the money will be ours once we get married.”

"Come on, you are really stupid for being a rich man. It's okay to play. If you really want to get married, your parents will be the first to disagree."

"What's the matter, as long as she is pregnant, he has to agree if he doesn't agree."

The more you talk to me, the more lively the two of you are, Chi Shen's expression is cold, as if he didn't hear anything.

"Oh, what's the matter with you, you've chopped it into minced meat for me!" When the customer saw the blood on the chopping board, he immediately complained, "You chop like this, I don't want it."

Chi Shen stopped the knife, looked at the other side expressionlessly, blood splashed on his pale face, white and red were distinct. The guest swallowed: "Ma, please wrap it up for me."

Chi Shen was silent for a long time, scraped the fish on the chopping board into the trash can, and chose another one for him.

Unwittingly, the night fell and the lights came on.

When Qiao Zhenzhen arrived home, it was completely dark, and she bumped into her mother as soon as she walked in.

Suddenly see my mother ten years younger, her eyes are sore, and her heart that has been hanging all day has completely come to the truth: "Mom."

"Where did you go! If you don't answer the phone and don't answer the text message, are you trying to kill me?" Qin Jing was relieved when she saw her, but her brows were tightly wrinkled.

Qiao Zhenzhen paused for a while, then took out her phone and looked at it: "It's turned off, I didn't receive it."

Qin Jing gave her a sideways glance and changed the high heels on her feet while talking about her.

Qiao Zhenzhen was lying on the shoe cabinet, looking at her with a smile. Qin Jing, who is in her early 40s, looks like she is in her thirties. Even her hair is exquisite. Even when she goes out to find a girl, she has to put on lipstick and wear high heels.

Nearly 20 years of life as a lady made her look less flamboyant, but like most housewives of her age, she likes to nag and complain all day long, find her husband and children Trouble. In the past, Qiao Zhenzhen was very annoying, and she talked back and quarreled with her every day, but as time passed, after seeing Qin Jing, who was completely taciturn after the divorce, she realized how much she missed her in the past.

"What are you wearing on your feet? A plastic bag! How dare you enter the door if it's dirty, throw it out for me, the ground that my aunt just mopped was all trampled and dirty by you, you really are I don't know how to be considerate at all..." As soon as Qin Jing raised her head, she met Qiao Zhen Zhen's smiling eyes, and the remaining complaints instantly choked in her throat.

"Mom, I miss you so much." Qiao Zhenzhen said, she opened her arms and suddenly hugged her. Once again, I have to protect her like this, and prevent her from withering like a rose from the soil like a previous life.

Qin Jing was stunned for a while, but patted her on the back, and after she let go, she asked worriedly, "Did you get bullied at school?"

"No, I'm fine." Qiao Zhenzhen replied.

Qin Jing frowned: "Then you are..."

Qiao Zhenzhen looked at her delicate eyebrows and was dumbfounded.

Qin Jing couldn't hold back, she also laughed, laughing and complaining: "Stupid or not, you."

"Mom, I asked the driver to bring you milk tea, have you drunk it?" Qin Jing likes sweets, especially milk tea and egg tarts.

Qin Jing nodded: "Don't bring it in the future, it will be cold when you bring it back."

"Cool?" Qiao Zhenzhen sneered when she heard this.

When she left, Zhao Lianqiao was still at school, so it seemed easy to guess where the driver went.

"Is there any problem?" Qin Jing asked.

Qiao Zhenzhen returned to her senses: "Ah, no, Mom, I want to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" The mother and daughter hadn't spoken so calmly for a long time, Qin Jing asked immediately.

Qiao Zhenzhen: "Can you change the driver for me?"

"Yes." Qin Jing nodded.

Qiao Zhenzhen paused: "Don't ask why?"

"

"Thank you mom." Qiao Zhenzhen was very happy.

She laughed a lot today, Qin Jing was also in a good mood, the mother and daughter had a peaceful meal, Qiao Zhenzhen yawned and went back to the bedroom, after washing up, she lay on the bed, Remember what you have experienced after being born again today.

After a while, she sighed: "Are those two really Chi Shen's parents? Why don't they look like Chi Shen at all."

"Inheritance is a metaphysics, Chi Shen may be lucky." Xiao Ba answered in his mind.

Qiao Zhenzhen pursed her lips: "No matter the metaphysics, there are always similarities, right? Are you sure that Chi Shen is their biological son?"

"The plot that is not in the original text, Xiaoba can't be sure." Xiaoba replied.

"In fact, malicious speculation is not very good, but they are too fierce towards Chi Shen, which is not like their attitude towards their only son." Qiao Zhenzhen muttered.

Xiao Ba: "Not everyone can be a qualified parent."

"Yes," Qiao Zhenzhen turned over and asked another question, "By the way, my mother was so happy just now, why didn't the favorability value appear?"

"People who are blood related to the host will have invalid goodwill and will be automatically filtered by the system." Xiao Ba replied.

Qiao Zhenzhen paused: "Why didn't you tell me before, didn't you lie to me?"

"...Xiao Ba dare not!" The electronic voice immediately persuaded.

Qiao Zhenzhen was amused by its tone, and after laughing, she did not forget to threaten: "What else are you hiding from me, it is best to say it once and call me again next time Patch, I don't accept it."

"There's nothing else," Xiaoba paused, then added, "Oh, about the function of the pause time, the next time you pause, it will increase by 5 points every 30 seconds. For example, if you paused for 30 seconds this time and spent 10 favors, the next time you paused for 30 seconds, it would cost you 15, and if you paused for one minute, it would cost you 30, and so on.”

"Why do you only talk about such an important matter now!" Qiao Zhenzhen sat up abruptly.

Xiao Ba has a guilty conscience: "Because the host didn't ask."

"Is there anything else?!" Qiao Zhenzhen frowned.

Xiao Ba's electronic sound is weak: "The function of increasing the lifespan also needs to change the value every ten years. For example, in the first ten years, 10 points of favorability can be used for one month of lifespan. In the second ten years, it takes 20 favorability points to exchange one month of lifespan..."

Qiao Zhenzhen's eyes darkened when she heard it: "If I want him to live to ninety years old, every month for the last ten years, I have to use 70 points of goodwill in exchange?"

“…hmmm.”

"Why don't you grab it!" Qiao Zhenzhen was angry.

"The favorability value required by other functions is constant." Hachi tried to save.

Qiao Zhenzhen sneered, sitting alone and sulking.

Ten minutes later, she calmed down: "The last 10 points of goodwill have just been used up, and I have to find a way to collect them as soon as possible."

I thought the pause time function was tasteless before, but after saving Chi Shen today, she has changed her mind. Favorability points are used for the pause time, and favorability points are also used for Chi Shen's life. She must accumulate them as soon as possible.

"Other people's favor collection is too slow, why don't you focus on Chi Shen!" Xiao Ba became lively again. After following Qiao Zhenzhen for a day, it seems that she has found the code of wealth.

Qiao Zhenzhen also thought so, holding her cheeks and thinking: "But his goodwill is too elusive, I can get it by saying anything before, and today I followed him home, It didn't show up at all."

"Humans are the most complex creatures, and it's normal to be elusive. You can get 10 favorability points by speaking a word, which can only be considered luck." Xiao Ba comforted.

Before he finished speaking, the beep sounded—

[Favorability +20, existing 20 points]

Xiaoba: “…”

Qiao Zhenzhen was silent for a moment, then asked seriously: "...is this also luck?"

Xiao Ba was speechless for a long time: "According to the system analysis, it was Chi Shen. When the good impression appeared... He was staring at his hand."

Qiao Zhenzhen: "?"

In the dark night, the windowless and air-conditioned room was stuffy and humid. On the desk built with two boards, a small lamp was lit.

The boy under the lamp was silent, staring at his right hand quietly. The fingers rubbed unconsciously, and the remaining warmth had disappeared long ago, but the soft touch always stayed.
