"Daddy!" the little girl shouted happily.
"Sigh …" The displeasure on the man's face instantly disappeared.
He hugged the little girl in one go and said happily: "Suo Suo, look what daddy bought for you."
"Ah, there's chocolate, bread, canned potatoes, so many snacks!"
"Father, are these all for me? Suo Suo is so happy!"
Suo Suo shouted happily.
"En, they are all bought for us, Suo Suo!"
The young man put Suo Suo down, took out the snacks from his storage bag and gave them to Suo Suo.
"However, Suo Suo, we have agreed that you can only eat one snack per day, if not you will not have any more!"
"En!" Suo Suo obediently nodded her head. At this time, in the simple and crude room, a series of sickly coughing sounds could be heard.
Then, a weak voice came out from the other room, "Ah Tian, is that you?"
"Yes, Mother!" "Yes." The young man answered and carried the bag into the room. Mu Cheng hastily followed him inside.
Seeing that Suo Suo looked like a doll, Zi Ling was both obedient and acceptable. She was left outside to tease the little girl with interest.
"Mom, look, I'm back. I bought a lot of things for you!"
As the young man spoke, he opened the plastic bag in his hand, revealing the new towel, oatmeal, protein powder, and so on.
The old woman lying on the bed looked haggard and haggard. It was obvious that she was exhausted after being tortured by the illness.
When the old woman saw the nutrition that the young man had taken out from the plastic bag, she let out a long sigh and said with a displeased expression on her face.
"Ah Tian, I've told you this many times. Mother's disease is lung cancer that has lasted for many years, don't waste your money to buy these things, what's more …"
"It's okay, mom. I've found a job today, so I'm happy to buy you these things, so you can eat first, and then I'll buy you a better one after I earn some money. Although the doctor said that we can't cure this disease, we can't give up hope, right now science is so advanced, maybe in another one or two years, we might be able to completely cure it. You have to have confidence in yourself, live happily, and like this, I'll work outside for you!" The young man called Ah Tian said with a clear voice.
"Sigh, child, you have been sensible since you were young. Ahem, mother is already so old, yet you still can't understand!"
"Cough cough, just die as soon as you can. If you die, you can go to the Underworld to see your father. He and I haven't chatted with each other for many years!"
The old woman smiled sadly.
"Mother, you better not leave me behind!" Ah Tian suddenly choked with sobs. Kneeling beside the bed, he was obviously very excited.
"Ah Tian, my mother is sick and I've been paralyzed in bed for so many years, don't you think I'm just a burden?"
"If mom leaves, you'll be able to live a lot easier!"
The old lady smiled, patted Ah Tian's head and said while teared up.
"No, Mother, don't say such a thing. Ah Tian was raised by you, Ah Tian wants you to accompany him, and never leave!"
The young man sobbed through his tears. He looked very sad.
"Silly child!" The old lady stroked Ah Tian's head, her mouth revealing a pitiful and kind smile.
At the side, Mu Cheng, who was in stealth mode, couldn't help but sniff and his eyes turned red when he saw this scene.
"I'm too kind-hearted to watch such a scene!"
With this thought in mind, Mu Cheng wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes and walked out from the room.
Seeing that Zi Ling had already escaped from her stealth state and was playing with Suo Suo, Mu Cheng could not help but be taken aback.
However, looking at Suo Suo's doll-like face and her innocent appearance, Mu Cheng could not help but feel a sense of pity and love for her.
"Why aren't you invisible anymore!" Mu Cheng whispered into Zi Ling's ear.
My good Suo Suo, big sister will come again to play with you when I have time, okay? "
When Zi Ling heard Mu Cheng, she did not reply and only spoke to Suo Suo who was in her embrace.
"En, big sis, alright, in the day, dad will go to work, and Suo Suo will accompany Grandma at home alone, it's so boring!"
"Come, Suo Suo will give this chocolate to big sister to eat. Big sister must remember to come and play with Suo Suo in the future!"
Suo Suo laughed as she said that, she peeled a piece of chocolate and placed it in Zi Ling's mouth.
As a child, she did not realize what the sudden appearance of this beautiful big sister meant.
"Come, Suo Suo will also have one!" Zi Ling chewed on her chocolate, her smile like a flower. She picked up a piece of chocolate from the table and was about to peel it for Suo Suo to eat.
Suo Suo looked at the chocolate, her eyes revealing a look of desire, but she stopped Zi Ling.
"Elder sister, don't peel, Suo Suo can't eat it today!"
"Why?"
Zi Ling was startled, but Suo Suo replied a little familiar.
"Daddy said that Suo Suo can only eat one snack a day. Suo Suo will eat these snacks another day!"
Suo Suo said, her gaze reluctantly leaving the chocolate in Zi Ling's hands.
"Such a self-disciplined little girl!" Mu Cheng sighed in admiration. Zi Ling's heart ached, and she couldn't help but feel the tears at the corner of her eyes. However, she still stubbornly peeled away the chocolate, and placed it into Suo Suo's mouth: "Suo Suo can eat without worry, your father won't blame you. Also, the next time big sister comes, she will bring you a lot of snacks!"
"Really!" Suo Suo chewed on the chocolate in her mouth and asked happily.
"It's true!" Zi Ling smiled and nodded.
"Then let's pull the hook." Suo Suo reached out his right pinky finger and hooked it with the pinky on Zi Ling's left hand.
"Hang the hook for a hundred years and don't change!"
Suo Suo's naivety and docility caused Zi Ling to feel a wave of love for him. After that, because the young man called Ah Tian came out from the room, Zi Ling put Suo Suo down and used an invisibility spell to follow behind Mu Cheng, leaving this simple and crude house.
Before he left, Mu Cheng placed the sixty yuan he had gotten from his father onto the shabby looking square table in the corner.
Walking in the dilapidated alley, Zi Ling said to Mu Cheng, "How about it, have you found anything while following that young man?"
"That young man's mother is sick. It's lung cancer!" Mu Cheng said.
"What is lung cancer?" Zi Ling asked as she was unfamiliar with many things in China.
It wasn't until Mu Cheng gave a detailed explanation that Zi Ling found out what kind of serious disease this lung cancer was.
Suo Suo is so young, and she doesn't have a mother anymore. If she doesn't have a grandmother, then no one will be able to talk to her at home!
Zi Ling sorrowfully held onto Mu Cheng's hand.
"Mu Cheng, let's help them!"
Mu Cheng had the same thought in his heart, but how could he help? He was helpless.
After all, he was still a student, and his financial resources depended on his parents. How could he have the ability to help others?!
"Why aren't you talking? Could it be that you have the heart to watch Suo Suo lose her grandmother?"
Seeing Mu Cheng's silence, Zi Ling grumbled unhappily.
"I'm just wondering how I'm going to help them." Mu Cheng pondered.
It was only then that Zi Ling realized that she had misunderstood Mu Cheng, and said apologetically: "Then have you thought of a good method?"
Mu Cheng shook his head with a worried expression. At this moment, two young men in fancy clothing appeared in front of the alley.
These two young men were around the age of eighteen or nineteen. They wore gold and had silver braids, and even had hedgehog hair.
After Mu Cheng and Zi Ling left Ah Tian's home, they did not continue to be invisible. It was no wonder that the two delinquents had seen them at this time.
"Haha, I didn't expect to meet such a beautiful girl in such a desolate place. I'm really lucky. Little girl, come out and have some fun with us!"
One of the hoodlums, with a wretched expression, started to tease Zi Ling.
When Zi Ling heard the other party's teasing words, her eyes revealed a look of disgust.
At this time, the other bastard walked over, extended his hand out wanting to pull Zi Ling away, and even despicably said that.
"Little girl, follow me. We will definitely serve you well."
"Scram!"
Mu Cheng suddenly shouted and his expression turned cold.
At this moment, he was troubled about how to help Suo Suo and her family get out of this difficult situation, but to think that he would actually meet two scum of society.
Furthermore, these two scum actually wanted to get their hands on the woman he liked. No wonder he would let out an angry roar.
The two thugs couldn't help but be stunned as they didn't expect Mu Cheng, who seemed weak and gentle, to actually roar out loud.
After a moment of shock, one of them flew into a rage and shouted.
"F * ck, where did this little bastard come from? Daring to roar at your father, don't want to live anymore!"
As he spoke, this bastard strode forward and smashed his fist towards Mu Cheng.
Mu Cheng had faced thirty hooligans before, and even beat those thirty hooligans to the ground.
At this moment, why would he care so much about these two hooligans? Mu Cheng didn't wait for his fist to land on his face and instead kicked Mu Cheng right in the crotch of the hooligans.
"Aiyo!"
That hooligan screamed miserably, clutching his crotch as he jumped up and down.
Mu Cheng's kick had hurt his two eggs. No wonder he was screaming and jumping around.
"Brat, you are so treacherous, you are courting death!"
As the other scumbag saw his companion's miserable state, he immediately took out a switchblade from his pocket and pounced forward, wanting to stab Mu Cheng until his heart turned cold.
However, suddenly, an elegant figure appeared in front of Mu Cheng, blocking his way. He extended two slender, pure white fingers, clamping onto the edge of the switchblade.
The floating figure was none other than Zi Ling. The hoodlum used all his strength but was unable to struggle free from Zi Ling's hands!
The next moment, the delinquent's face changed. Knowing that he had met a tough opponent, he hurriedly stopped asking for the switchblade and ran away with his partner, not daring to say a single word.
"Sigh, why is it the same no matter where I go, there will always be scum and scum coming to harass me!"
Zi Ling sighed and shook her head!
Mu Cheng looked at the two hooligans fleeing in panic and suddenly had a bright idea. He smiled.
"Hehe, I've thought of a way to help Suo Suo's family!"
"Is that so?" Zi Ling excitedly turned around: "What solution have you come up with?"
"If we want to help Suo Suo's family, we must first look for Zhu Bo!"
Mu Cheng's face turned bright as a mysterious smile appeared in his eyes.
"Who is Zhu Bo?" Zi Ling asked in confusion.
"Zhu Bo, he's a guy that's even scarier than those two scumbags."
"Come with me. After you see it, you'll know what's going on. Haha …"
Mu Cheng laughed loudly.
