Qiu Li put down the phone, his whole mind was empty.

The workers behind him urged them to deliver the cement to the building as soon as possible.

Qiu Li silently picked up the trolley and pushed bags of cement to the construction site.

Next, worked extra hard on the construction site, as if every muscle in body came alive, and temples began to jump up suddenly.

The resting workers next to them smiled kindly and said—

"College students, knowing that you are young and strong, you should take it easy."

"Yeah, with so much effort, you will collapse soon."

"Young people are so desperate? For that little salary, not so much."

......

Qiu Li turned a deaf ear to their words, and he needed to vent his strength to keep his mind from thinking nonsense.

Once the brain thinks wildly, the body will not obey.

The little girl was probably just casually teasing, but Qiu Li's heart was racing at 800 yards all day, and every cell in his body became active.

Apart from working harder, Qiu Li had no way of venting.

The labor on the construction site is over, it is already 6 o'clock in the evening, and today got an extra salary increase, a total of 800 yuan.

In today's era, manual labor earns no less than white-collar workers sitting in the office, especially for cool labor in harsh environments, the wages are very high, because it is very hard.

This is also why Qiu Li chose to work on the construction site after being rejected by tutors.

Compared with low-paying and time-killing part-time jobs like waiters, simple and rough manual labor on the construction site brings money faster.

After taking a bath in the construction site, changed into a clean white shirt and black pants, and put on the pair of aj sneakers given by Jiang Yu, and packed up decently.

Look like a tutor, not a sun-dried worker on a construction site.

Qiu Li walked out of the construction site and did not go home directly, but went straight to the commercial center of Universal Century.

In the well-known luxury crystal store on the first floor of the commercial center, the salesperson took out the crystal music box that he had already fancy.

The music box was opened, and on the plane like an ice sculpture, there was a crystal ballerina girl with her slender neck up, one leg slightly bent, and her arms encircled, like a swan spreading her wings, pulling her neck to fly.

Half a month ago, Qiu Li saw this music box and immediately fell in love with it.

The girl in the box looks like the girl he keeps in his heart.

It's just the price in the early five figures that discourages him.

And the part-time tutoring job was rejected again and again, and he went straight to the construction site, working day and night to the death. The salary he received in half a month was just enough to buy it.

The salesperson carefully packed the crystal music box and handed it to Qiu Li.

Qiu Li walked out of the store with the heavy gift box. His originally heavy body seemed to be relaxed, and even his steps... became much lighter.

What a joy to give a gift to a beloved girl.

......

When Qiu Li returned home, there was movement in the kitchen. The little girl was stirring the dumplings in the pot with a spatula in her hand.

She wears a cool summer t-shirt with small daisy light yellow high-waisted shorts. She has a slender waist, extra slender, well-proportioned muscles and bones, and she has a large splint on her feet.

The white mist was dense in the kitchen, and she was like a princess left in the world, clean and spotless.

Seemingly aware of the burning gaze of the man behind him, Jiang Yu turned around and glanced: "Come back."

"Um."

She put down the spatula and turned around to hug him: "It's hard work, come and let me hug him."

Qiu Li took a step back subconsciously and said, "It's to take a shower first."

"Why do you take a shower as soon as you come back?"

"It's too hot outside."

Qiu Li fled and hid in the bathroom. Even though he had taken a shower at the construction site, he felt dirty and unclean, so he didn't dare to touch her.

When the cement was being transported, black plaster was embedded in the fingernails, and it was dirty.

Reach out to the front of the faucet, rinse with large water, rub hard until your hands are rubbed red, and rub your nails with all your might...

Sniffing myself, only the smell of sweat remains, so disgusting, so dirty...

Qiu Li took off his clothes and threw them aside, turned on the shower head, rinsed himself frantically, squeezed a lot of shower gel, and wiped it on his body.

I didn't realize it myself, and before I knew it... the condition worsened a lot.

Jiang Yu had been standing by the door, listening to the sound of water rushing from the bathroom.

Thinking of him on the dusty construction site, where the temperature was 40 degrees Celsius, the sun was shining, and he was doing the heaviest physical work, she felt sad, especially sad.

It is really difficult to rely on yourself when you are young.

Even a seedling needs someone to take care of and irrigate it.

Jiang Yu knew that he couldn't go on like this anymore. In this world, he was not alone. Even if his father was in prison, he had a mother.

Whether in legal responsibility or morality, mothers must undertake their own obligations.

Even if he is an adult now, doesn't he need to make up for the lack of care for so many years in the past?

Suddenly, Qiu Li's voice came from the door: "Little Rain."

"what?"

"Why do you keep standing at the door?"

The bathroom door was made of frosted material, and she could clearly see the blurred figure standing beside the door.

"I..."

Jiang Yu couldn't find anything to say for a while: "I'll just stand for a while."

Qiu Li turned off the shower head and put a towel on his body: "Are you peeking at me?"

"..."

With the warm water mist, he walked out of the bathroom and changed into a clean off-white "color" cotton shorts. He made sure that he had no smell on his body before he dared to approach her.

"How much did you see?"

Jiang Yuhong defended: "I didn't watch it, who watched you take a shower!"

"Then what are you doing standing at the door?"

"I'll just... listen."

"There is an essential difference between eavesdropping and peeking?"

Jiang Yu couldn't argue, and it was hard to say "sex". He went back to the kitchen and brought out two bowls of dumplings and put them on the dining table.

Knowing that the little girl was thin-skinned, Qiu Li smiled, stopped teasing her, and sat down to eat dumplings with chopsticks.

"etc."

Jiang Yu quickly brought out the chiffon cake that was packed at Buxi's house from the refrigerator and handed it to Qiu Li: "Try it, this cake is very delicious, I brought it from a friend's house specially."

"friend's house?"

"Well, I'm going to be a guest at her house."

"My friend invites you to eat snacks, don't bring them to me." Qiu Li said solemnly: "Others will laugh at them, so eat them."

"No, they are very sincere."

"In the future, we will buy it ourselves."

Jiang Yu knew that he was thinking for himself, so he didn't argue, and nodded obediently: "Okay, then you eat this piece first, let's not take it as an example."

Qiu Li tore a small piece with his hand and tasted it.

Jiang Yu sat beside him and looked expectantly: "How is it, is it delicious?"

"It doesn't taste good, you eat it first." Qiu Li pushed the cake in front of her.

Jiang Yu frowned and said, "I've eaten it before, just this one, I've eaten it."

"I didn't see it, it doesn't count."

"..."

Jiang Yu knew that Qiu Li was a mental disorder, and it had nothing to do with whether she had eaten half of the money. It was because she couldn't pass her own level that she was unaware of the world.

She sighed, tore a piece of cake, and put it in her mouth.

Qiu Li ate the remaining half of the cake, and then ate a large bowl of dumplings. It was so delicious that he looked very hungry.

How could not be hungry? In order to catch up with work at noon, hurriedly grabbed a mouthful of tasteless lunch, and didn't stop all afternoon.

Jiang Yu also took the dumplings from his bowl.

"Your bowl tastes better." Qiu Li commented.

"Then the one in my mouth tastes better?"

The boy heard the words and looked up at her.

Jiang Yu was a little uncomfortable, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes shifted sideways: "What are you looking at?"

"Is your girlfriend asking for a kiss?"

"Asking you..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Li lowered his head and kissed her.

Lips are still covered in oil! Two greasy lips sticking together, this is too strange.

Jiang Yu quickly pushed it away, pulled a tissue to wipe his mouth, and said angrily, "I'm joking!"

"But I'm serious."

When he said this, his voice rose slightly, and the ending was long, giving people a sense of frivolity and seriousness.

"What my sister says, I take it seriously."

"What's the use of it, the elder sister said that you should receive regular treatment, but you are not willing."

Qiu Li was silent, not answering her.

This matter was discussed a long time ago, but Qiu Li was unwilling, and he never wanted to contact any psychiatrist again in his life.

Instinctively hostile to anyone trying to heal...

"I'll be fine." He bowed his head and ate the dumplings.

"It's going to be okay, but it's not just saying it."

Although Jiang Yu complained, he did not force him. Maybe after college, when he and his mother met...

All the wounds of the past will be healed.

After eating, Qiu Li consciously went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Jiang Yu leaned against the door, looking at the skilled figure doing housework.

Taking care of herself since she was a child, she has much richer life experience than her. Even if she does not have a father, she still has a mother.

Jiang Manyi took care of her meticulously and gave her double love, being a mother, a sister, and a friend.

Jiang Yu walked over and took the bowl in his hand: "Wash together."

Qiu Li didn't let her touch: "No."

"Nothing."

"You are Xiaoyu dancing, not Xiaoyu doing housework."

"My God, fairy boyfriend!"

Qiu Li smiled lightly, and rubbed her ear temples with her nose: "Wait for me by the side."

Jiang Yu leaned against the cupboard and did the housework with her eyes. Qiu Li casually asked, "Aren't you going back tonight?"

"Go back."

The movement of his hand paused, then looked back at her: "Didn't you say stay?"

"When did I say that?"

"What you said on the phone today..."

"Oh, I said I wanted you."

Qiu Li stared at her: "What are you going to want from me?"

Jiang Yu held the waist gently, and a clear smile hung in the glass-like black eyes: "It's coming."

"..."
