292: Such a hard life
292: Such a hard life
There are such coincidences in the world.
Shi Li felt complicated.
Thinking of the little girl who always looked at him shyly when he went to pick up her child in the past, he rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
After closing the door, he carefully confirmed that it was locked before taking the invitation and walking to his computer desk.
His computer is very thick and different from the usual ones you see.
After turning on the computer, the screen is a vast expanse of deep blue. In the lower right corner, there is a simple white logo that is constantly lighting up in red. Every time it lights up, a notification of a new message will sound.
After clicking in, the background is pure black, with only a line of text popping up in the center of the screen.
Shi Li clicked on it, typed a few words on the keyboard and pressed Enter.
"Send me the information."
Not long after he sent this message, the other party replied immediately, as if he had been waiting for his message.
A photo popped up on the computer screen. Even though I had anticipated this possibility, I still felt a headache after seeing the little girl in the photo.
Below is the commission given by the other party, 20 million.
After glancing at the things on the desk, he stood up from his chair, opened the locked door and went out, found a notebook, and also took the pen that Shi Xi used for homework.
After returning, I locked the door, opened the mobile apps of my major banks, and wrote down the amount of each one in a notebook.
After all the cards were counted, he added up the numbers on the paper.
Sixty-three million.
Shi Li frowned and stared at the number for a long time.
The light from above his head made his eyelashes look very long, and his skin under the light looked even colder and more flawless.
With such an exquisite appearance, it seems as if she was born to stand under the spotlight.
He raised his head and stared at the light on the ceiling for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly.
After pressing the button to accept the mission, the light in Shi Li's eyes went out.
The commission is 20 million. If the mission fails, he needs to pay the other party five times as much.
In other words, he worked diligently for so many years, walking on the edge of danger, but in the end he still owed others more than 36 million.
It's something that makes people feel hopeless about life just thinking about it.
And after this order is passed, his undefeated record will be broken.
But he has to answer the call. If he doesn't answer the call, the other party will most likely replace him with another errand runner.
By then, the little girl’s safety cannot be guaranteed.
Before hearing his brother talk about this tonight, he had never thought about taking this order.
When he saw that the task object was a child, he had already made up his mind that he would not do it even if the other party gave him more money.
Making money is one thing, and although he uses any means necessary, he still has some principles.
Because he also has a younger brother of the same age, when he saw the other party contacting him, he clearly refused.
He would not do anything to hurt a child.
but now……
Feeling a little numb and suffocated, Shi Li decided to go downstairs to get some cool air to wake himself up.
That was a full 100 million yuan. He was young, had no car or house, no savings, his brother's illness had not been cured yet, and now he was burdened with a full 36 million yuan in debt.
"........."
That sounds like a hard life.
After staying downstairs for a while and cooling down, he went back.
Xiao Xi was still awake. A little head popped out from behind the door, her delicate face full of worry. When she saw him coming over, she hesitated for a long time before asking.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Shi Li squatted down, raised his hand and rubbed his head with a lot of force. If the child hadn't been holding on to the door, he might not have been able to stand steadily.
"elder brother?"
Her hair was messed up, which made Xiao Xi even more worried. Her eyes, which were more delicate than those of girls of the same age, were full of confused worry.
Although he didn't understand anything, he could feel that his brother was not in a good mood at the moment.
After a long while, Shi Li withdrew his hand and patted his shoulder instead. His voice was a little hoarse, and he was so heartbroken that he couldn't speak.
"There is something my brother wants to tell you."
Xiao Xi was a little scared by such a serious tone. She pinched her palm nervously and nodded nervously.
What a good child.
Shi Li said, "The doctor my brother found had some urgent matters and can't perform the surgery on us in the near future. It might be postponed to next year."
Shi Xi raised her little head, a look of relief in her eyes, "It's okay, brother. We can do it next year too."
It turned out to be this incident. He thought something had happened to his brother.
So when Xiao Xi heard the news, he was happy.
When I lower my eyes, I inevitably feel a little lost.
Because I have already made an agreement with Qingqing and Wenyou, I will be able to run and play with them in a while, and I won’t have to sit alone in the distance and watch them anymore.
But then he comforted himself in his heart.
It’s only been a year. He now feels that a day goes by very quickly, so a year should also go by very quickly.
Thinking about it this way, he felt it was bearable.
He thought that he would make a wish on his next birthday.
I hope that doctor won’t have any problems next year, or that he won’t have any problems until after I finish the surgery on him.
The child's eyes are very clear and clean, and when he looks at people, they are like a pair of crystal clear glass.
Shi Li looked away, stood up from the ground, and carried him back to the room to sleep.
He opened the Grimm's Fairy Tales that had been sandwiched between the invitation cards, flipped to a page at random, and picked out a story to tell the child.
The speaking was very poor and without any emotion, like reading a text.
Sometimes when he was reading, he suddenly stopped making any sound.
Shi Xi opened her eyes and saw that it was her brother who was fascinated by the movie.
In short, this is a very unqualified and perfunctory bedtime reading session.
But Xiao Shixi didn't mind at all, he was used to it.
His brother is only nineteen years old this year. He has never learned this before and no one has taught him. It is already very impressive that he can do these things.
I read fairy tales because there are many stories that my brother has never read.
He vaguely remembered that when he was two years old, he couldn't sleep. His brother fiddled with his mobile phone for a while, then suddenly stood up and said he wanted to go out and buy him a fairy tale book.
After I came back with the book, I opened it and read the first story to him.
That was the first time someone read a fairy tale to him to sleep, and it was also the first time his brother read a fairy tale.
A long time ago, when they were in a small county town, one day he told his brother about the upcoming parent-teacher conference at school. The grandmother next door who often brought them buns smiled and said, "Your brother is still a child himself, and he's going to attend a parent-teacher conference for you."
He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at that time, he just saw his brother smiling at his grandmother.
But this sentence was like a nail, and he always kept it firmly in his heart.
So no matter how bad the food his brother cooked was, Xiao Xi would not complain.
It’s okay if it tastes bad, as long as you can eat it; it’s okay if you are malnourished, as long as you can survive.
As I thought about it, I gradually felt sleepy.
Shi Li was sitting by the bed and had not finished reading a fairy tale when the child had already closed his eyes.
