Quick Wear: My hair changed color, and I became stronger

Chi Li's body froze, thinking she had misheard.

She reached out, wanting to press the switch that would restore sight.

"Don't turn on the light." A hoarse voice sounded, with a long tail tone and a pitiful meaning.

Chi Li gave up the light. She walked over quietly, not daring to make any loud noise, for fear of disturbing Bai Zhenxi who might be crying.

The man squatted on the ground, huddled together, his hands covering his head, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Chi Li carefully squatted down beside him and leaned over to look at his face.

There was no light in the small dressing room. In order to see the person in front of her clearly, Chi Li moved very close and almost bumped into Bai Zhenxi's nose.

Bai Zhenxi was so shocked by her actions that she even forgot to cry. She could only say fiercely, "You...you...are so rude."

"Sorry, why are you crying?" Chi Li apologized halfheartedly.

The suppressed sobbing was wrapped in the night, so thick and heavy that it was impossible to dispel it. He pursed his lips tightly, and his long eyelashes trembled, adding a sense of vulnerability, as if he was waiting for someone's salvation.

Chi Li's heart felt like it was soaked in vinegar, filled with pain because of Bai Zhenxi's tears.

Her right hand caressed Bai Zhenxi's cheek as gently as a breeze, as if she was protecting a rare treasure, and she asked softly again: "Why are you crying?"

Perhaps it was because her voice was as warm as the spring sun, or perhaps it was because her distressed expression did not seem fake, Bai Zhenxi suddenly felt an urge to talk.

"I have no money," he said.

"It's so tragic." Chi Li sighed.

Some questions do not require overly complicated explanations; just three words can reveal an indescribable sadness.

Bai Zhenxi calmed down, wiped his face and said, "You too."

Chi Li looked down at her wide, rag-like skirt and was unable to refute.

After a long pause, she said, "You can't rob me, can you? Look how miserable I am, and I haven't thought of breaking the law."

Bai Zhenxi said quietly in the darkness, "That's because you don't have the courage to break the law."

Chi Li tilted her head and smiled: "You are quite proud?"

Bai Zhenxi fell silent. He felt that he was extremely shameless. How could he even think of robbing money?

While performing on the stage, he saw her having an intimate conversation with a girl next to her who looked very wealthy, and he became evil-minded. Now he didn't even have a place to live and was really desperate.

At this moment, regret and shame mixed together and enveloped his heart. His face felt hot and his mouth seemed to be glued shut, and he couldn't utter a word.

"I'm sorry, I did something wrong. Please call the police to arrest me." Bai Zhenxi said sincerely.

Chi Li said with a grin, "I always thought you were the only one who called the police to arrest others. Well, I see, in this world, you are holding his broken script."

Bai Zhenxi was silent, he didn't understand.

Chi Li sighed, put her hands on her hips, and asked, "How broke are you? Can you afford a set of pancakes?"

Bai Zhenxi walked to the wall and turned on the light. The bright light illuminated the entire room. His eyes, red and pitiful, met Chi Li's eyes.

Seeing his expression, Chi Li said in disbelief, "No way, you can't even afford pancakes? Where's the money for your participation in the event? Haven't you settled your performance fee yet?"

"My agent just called and said the company went bankrupt, and the performance fee was his ticket back to the countryside to farm." Bai Zhenxi paused and continued, "The house the company promised me to live in has also been taken away."

"Do you have any relatives?" Chi Li asked.

"They are all in jail." Bai Zhenxi said numbly.

It was so tragic, so tragic that Chi Li didn't know how to comfort her.

Bai Zhenxi took out half a bottle of water from his worn and patched blue backpack, unscrewed the cap, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Chi Li thought he was drowning his sorrows, "It's okay, I'll protect you. I can help you wash dishes or kill fish. I'm very fast at killing fish." She patted her chest proudly.

"You'd better stay away from me. I might really be a jinx. Ever since my family went bankrupt, I've tried countless jobs. I've even moved bricks at a construction site, applied screen protectors to phones, and pierced holes in soda crackers. Everything I did ended up failing."

Bai Zhenxi dejectedly put the empty bottle with a small dent in it back into his backpack and zipped it up.

"Is it your job that failed, or the company?" Chi Li asked cautiously.

Bai Zhenxi put his backpack on his right shoulder and replied, "It's all yellow."

"I don't believe that no one is messing with you." Chi Li said. She didn't believe that there were such unlucky people in the world.

Bai Zhenxi lowered his eyes. He thought so too, but he was helpless. No matter how he investigated, he couldn't find out who was behind it.

Chi Li took out her phone from her canvas bag. After unlocking it with facial verification, she checked her balance first. "Wow, I have a noble thousand yuan."

Bai Zhenxi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Chi Li's phone with envy.

Chi Li held the phone tightly and said, "Don't have any bad thoughts. This huge sum of money is not worth sentencing you to life imprisonment."

"Yeah." Bai Zhenxi said softly, his dark blue eyes dull and lifeless.

There is a saying that is true, pity is the beginning of love for someone.

Chi Li looked at his broken expression, her heart filled with dense and bitter emotions, and she immediately became overwhelmed.

"I'll help you. Come home with me. I won't treat you badly."

Bai Zhenxi felt a surge of ecstasy at first, followed by worry, "Ah, this is not good, you are a weak girl, how can I let you help me?"

"And your family will definitely not agree." He leaned against the cold wall, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness.

He's such a great fisherman, Chi Li sighed inwardly.

The original owner had the habit of recording his daily life in the memo on his mobile phone. Chi Li looked at some of them here and there and found that the original owner was actually a poor person who was tortured by life after his family went bankrupt.

"Don't worry, my parents are in jail too, and I'm the only one at home."

After Chi Li found her home address in the navigation app, she turned off her phone and threw it back into her bag.

"Ah, this is really..." Bai Zhenxi's eyes lit up again, "How unfortunate." He adjusted his expression and said heavily.

"Let's go, handsome boy, let's go home." Chi Li smiled at him and walked forward.

After Bai Zhenxi turned off the light, he followed her in two steps and said, "I will try my best."

"What are you working hard for? Working hard to destroy all the companies in the world?" Chi Li joked.

Bai Zhenxi's smile froze slightly. "It's not impossible, but the most important thing is to try to find out who is harming me."

After a pause, he continued, "Still need to work harder..." He must have been embarrassed, so he spoke the last few words very softly.

Chi Li didn't hear clearly, so she turned around and leaned closer to him and asked, "What did you say?"

Bai Zhenxi coughed lightly, trying to hide his inner panic, and glanced to the side, not daring to look her in the eye.
