Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 1011 Liyuan Opera Player X Republic of China General 9

He spoke very softly, and when Shen Xi asked him what he was saying, he stopped talking.

When they walked out the door, they saw Yu Yu standing next to the car.

When Gu Yubai saw him, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"How did you know I was here?"

"I just saw the boss and drove over here."

Yu Yu lowered his head, not daring to look at Gu Yubai's expression. After all, he had not been to work for several days, and he was afraid that Gu Yubai would scold him.

However, with Shen Xi around, Gu Yubai would not lose his temper. He ignored him and took a few steps forward to open the passenger door for Shen Xi.

"Get in the car, I'll take you home?"

"Ah."

When Yu Yu wanted to get into the driver's seat, Gu Yubai stopped him.

He pointed to Lou Xi, who was holding flowers and wearing a fancy suit not far away.

"If you don't go over there, his eyes are going to kill me."

Yu Yu blushed and said that she and he were not in that kind of relationship, but Gu Yubai didn't care. He just pushed the man over and got into the car.

"You've been waiting for a long time."

"No, just a moment."

After sending the person home, Shen Xi got out of the car.

"Third Master, be careful on your way home."

But before the person got out of the car, Gu Yubai reached out and grabbed the person.

"Um... next time we meet, can you please not call me Third Master? It sounds strange..."

This is the common respectful name given to him by people outside, because he is the third child in the family, so he is called this.

But he didn't want this title to come out of Shen Xi's mouth.

It felt a little too distant, and he didn't want his relationship with Shen Xi to be just like this.

"What's that called?"

"Just call my name, Gu Yubai. Try calling it and I'll listen."

I thought he wouldn't agree, so I hesitated when I spoke just now. But after hearing what he said next, I knew it was okay, so my tone relaxed a little.

"Gu Yubai?"

These three words made Gu Yubai's mouth unable to lower. He had never felt that his name was so nice.

"Yeah, that's right...I'll call you that from now on."

"it is good."

Shen Xi wanted to open the car door and go out again, but unexpectedly he was stopped by him again.

"Can I call you Xixi from now on?"

As soon as Shen Xi turned around, he saw Gu Yubai's eyes full of expectation. Under the gaze of those eyes, Shen Xi slowly approached him.

He closed the distance between the two of them and spoke slowly: "Of course, we are friends."

This time, Gu Yubai didn't react until Shen Xi got out of the car.

"Are we friends now?"

Shen Xi stood not far away, watching Gu Yubai's car go away. When he was about to go home, he unexpectedly hit a child.

"sorry Sorry……"

Shen Xi helped up the child who kept apologizing, and squatted down to look him in the eye.

"It's okay, are you okay?"

"fine……"

But the strange thing was that when the child faced Shen Xi's concern, he didn't dare to look him in the eye, but just stammered that he was fine.

"If you're alright, can you return the wallet to me?"

For a moment, the child was stunned. He did take it, but he didn't expect Shen Xi to find it so quickly.

"I……"

Shen Xi also recognized the child at this moment. Isn’t this the one who stole steamed buns last time and was rescued by him?

You really listened to me and stopped stealing buns, but now you’re stealing money?

"Don't say you didn't steal. You can't fool me."

Looking at the child in front of him, Shen Xi sighed.

The child in front of him is even thinner than the one he saw a few days ago. Looking at him like this, he would not be like this unless he was desperate.

Thinking of this, Shen Xi's tone softened a little.

"If you have any difficulties, please tell me. Maybe I can help you."

The child's eyes changed when he looked at Shen Xi, as if he recognized him.

"Are you the brother from that night?"

"Well, so you can trust me. Tell me your name and what help you need, okay?"

"My name is Hu Zi..."

Gu Yubai, who had just returned, happened to see this scene, and his hand holding the pocket watch that Shen Xi had accidentally dropped on the car clenched unconsciously.

"Xixi?"

He didn't shout out, but just followed the two of them slowly. Shen Xi had been listening to Hu Zi's words and his attention was all on him, so he didn't notice Gu Yubai following behind him.

Followed Hu Zi to his residence.

It is a very dilapidated bungalow.

Under the mottled wall, black bricks are exposed.

There were a few worn-out clothes that had turned white hanging in the small courtyard outside the house, and I heard noises outside.

There was some movement in the house: "Hu Zi, you're back?"

Just as he finished speaking, a woman pushed open the door and walked out. She was not very old, but her face did not look very good. Shen Xi combined the words that Hu Zi had just said to him on the road.

'Is mother ill?'

Hu Zi didn't tell Shen Xi about this just now, he just said that his father was addicted to opium and squandered the family fortune, and later died because his body couldn't bear it.

He spent all the land passed down from his ancestors and squandered his mother Meng Chan's dowry, not only that but also left behind a large amount of usurious loans.

Meng Chan had no choice but to work part-time to make ends meet, and even on snowy days she had to take other people's clothes home to wash.

Her family was well-off before, but her body couldn't stand such hardship and she fell ill.

Unexpectedly, after she fell ill, the loan sharks let her and her son go.

But even if the debt was gone, food would still be a problem for the mother and son.
