Using the little cash they had left, Mo Mo and Xiao Bai bought some trauma medicine at the drugstore, and then sat on the chairs in front of the drugstore to get the medicine.

"Does it hurt with this force? Also, why did they bully you?" Mo Mo asked while applying ointment on Xiaobai's forehead.

"Because I'm different from them, I have a pair of animal ears, and they said I'm only fit to be a mascot and shouldn't be in the Supernatural Bureau." Xiaobai thought he could be strong, and he could ignore the injuries; but when Mo Mo asked gently, a glimmer of tears flashed in his eyes. All the strength and calmness he had before collapsed at this moment, and the feeling of grievance made his nose sour.

"What's wrong with having ears? These ears are so cute and furry. I like them very much." Mo Mo reached out and touched his ears.

"Really?" Xiaobai looked at her with his big eyes blinking, and the tears in his eyes were very dazzling.

Hearing the hoarseness and grievance in Xiaobai's voice, she looked at him, shook her head gently and said:

"Boys are not allowed to cry, unless they are in front of the person they love."

"Is it okay to do that in front of the one you love?" Xiaobai asked aggrievedly.

Mo Mo just laughed, "Puchi!" and gently pressed a Band-Aid to stick it on his forehead. "It's fake. It's just a joke. Isn't it funny?" After saying that, Mo Mo just giggled to himself.

"It's not funny at all." Xiaobai rolled his eyes at her.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Mo Mo and Xiao Bai just sat in the chairs in a daze.

"Okay, it's about time to go back now."

Mo Mo stood up and turned to Xiaobai who had applied the medicine.

"Sister Mo Mo, can we not live in the dormitory of the Bureau of Supernatural Powers?" Xiao Bai's voice was very soft. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Mo Mo. "Although the dormitory is ten or a hundred times better than the prison, but... they don't like me."

Mo Mo was stunned.

Then he returned to his seat and sat back down.

She blinked and said, "Then we can consider moving out. Perhaps... this will also be helpful for us to track down Zang Xi's whereabouts. After all, there is a curfew in the dormitory of the Supernatural Bureau."

"But... renting a house costs money." Mo Mo touched her pockets, then looked at her shrunken backpack. There was nothing else in it except the holy objects, the diary, and the spinning top. She said awkwardly, "We don't have any money right now, and I don't think anyone would be willing to rent a house to us."

In the present world, Mo Mo was taken back to the Yan family and enjoyed a luxurious life in a villa. She never lacked pocket money for shopping. However, when she came here, she had no relatives and was even penniless!

Thinking of this, Mo Mo felt heartbroken again. He actually didn't think more carefully and should have at least brought the card worth several million.

Zhao Wenting is quite rich, but he just showed off in front of others when he left just now. It’s not good to go and borrow money now.

[Damn it, it's all my fault! Poverty really makes people sad, what can I do? ]

Mo Mo scratched her head awkwardly. She said to Xiao Bai sincerely, "Xiao Bai, can you bear with it for a while? Let me think of a way. I'll think about how to ask the Bureau of Supernatural Powers for a higher salary. At the same time, I'll try to make money from other channels. As long as we have money, we can move you out."

If she hadn't come to this world, Mo Mo would never have known that raising a child was so difficult. The financial expenditure alone could overwhelm her.

Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat again.

[Indeed, in that world, I had the strong backing of the Yan family, so I never had to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. I even entered the Supernatural Bureau very smoothly and became Zhao Wenting's personal disciple. All of this... was too easy.]

[Is that...really a perfect world? ]

Thinking of this, Mo Mo's eyes, which were as bright as stars, gradually dimmed, and the smile on his lips became bitter and stiff.

"Sister Mo..."

"Sister Mo?"

Mo Mo was distracted for a while and she didn't even hear Xiaobai calling her.

When Xiao Bai waved his hand in front of her, Mo Mo looked at him in shock: "Um...what's wrong?"

"What happened to you just now? Are you feeling unwell?" Xiaobai asked with concern.

She smiled and shook her head without saying anything.

She was just worried about whether she could return to that world.

"Look at this!" Xiao Bai spread out his hands and placed a promotional poster on his knees. He pointed at the recruitment information on the poster with sparkling eyes. "Sister Mo, I think maybe we can go there to work and earn some money..."

It was a recruitment information for a buffet bar, and Mo Mo's eyes lit up when he saw it!

"Yes, indeed. How did you get here?"

"It was just a strong wind blowing over here, and at first it just blew over some fallen leaves." Xiaobai answered honestly.

"Okay, then let's go and apply for the job."

They did it right away. The two of them stood up with the promotional poster and went to look for the address written on it.

Fortunately, both of them got the job.

Then they chose a house with a big tree at the entrance of the courtyard that was a good distance between the Bureau of Superpowers and the restaurant and bar. Although it was an old house, Xiaobai said that he liked the courtyard with the big tree, so the two of them used the advance salary to pay the rent first.

"What kind of work do you two do?"

The gray-haired old lady pushed up her reading glasses, trying to see the faces of the two people more clearly. "You two look young, so you shouldn't be bad people. This is an old house after all, so I'll rent it to you at a lower price."

"Yes! Thank you! I work at the Supernatural Bureau during the day and do odd jobs at Yuan Ju Restaurant Bar at night." Mo Mo answered the old lady with a polite smile.

After hearing the old lady's answer, the old lady who was inserting keys from a bunch of keys into the lock one by one and trying to open the lock turned around, took another close look at Mo Mo, and then said to Xiao Bai beside her: "This must be your sister. Young man, you should study hard. Look at how hard your sister works for you. She is still just a child."

"Grandma Wang, you really know how to judge people. This is indeed my younger brother. I'm Mo Mo and he's Xiao Bai." When Mo Mo heard her say that, he immediately agreed.

"That's right. I, Old Lady Wang, have been collecting rent in this area for twenty years. I've seen all kinds of people. Let me tell you, I'm very good at judging people." The old lady said with a happy expression, but she still hadn't found the corresponding key to open the tightly closed door.

Xiao Bai was speechless. After a long time of waiting, the old lady still didn't open the door. But under Mo Mo's eyes, he didn't dare to show the word "impolite" too obviously. Then he simply turned around and looked at the courtyard outside the window. His slightly pouting mouth didn't look very happy.
