"I said... I will try my best to help you too."

"Is that so? I see you're saying something different than before. Your lip shape is wrong."

Chi Li smiled, turned around, grabbed his schoolbag strap, and said, "You just said I was working hard to support you, right?"

"You clearly heard it." Bai Zhenxi let her grab her schoolbag and tease him at will.

Even at night, the streets are still bustling with activity, the lanes are filled with cars, and there are colorful lights everywhere, intertwined with the light emitted by the stars in the night sky, which is very romantic.

A breeze blew by, bringing a slight chill. Chi Li shrank her shoulders, loosened the strap of her schoolbag, and ran behind Bai Zhenxi.

"Use me to block the wind?" Bai Zhenxi turned his head and raised his eyebrows coolly.

Chi Li tugged at his clothes and looked up at him: "Is it not possible?"

Bai Zhenxi's lips curled slightly, her eyes sparkling like clear water: "For you, I'm willing to do anything."

Chi Li fell silent, her snow-white ears half hidden under her long hair blushing with shame. She thought to herself, being poor is too terrible, it can make people become shameless.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad person?" Bai Zhenxi asked.

"You are not." Chi Li said affirmatively.

As she passed by a coffee shop on the street, Bai Zhenxi bumped into a boy at the corner, and the boy fell backwards to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Chi Li put her hand on Bai Zhenxi's back and supported him.

Bai Zhenxi shook her head and reached out to pull the boy up from the ground.

The boy stood up with Bai Zhenxi's help, dusted himself off and said, "Thank you. Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the road."

"It's okay." Bai Zhenxi showed no emotion.

The young man looked no more than twenty years old. He was wearing a thin white sweater and had soft chestnut hair draped over his shoulders. He stared at Bai Zhenxi without blinking.

"Do you know each other?" Chi Li felt that the atmosphere was a little off.

"My name is Jiang Yun." He whispered, his pointed chin like a girl's, with a hint of feminine charm.

Chi Li subconsciously thought of Jiang Yun, looked at his face carefully, and compared it with the Shamatte young man in her mind, she really couldn't find any similarities.

"Goodbye." Bai Zhenxi said coldly, seemingly not wanting to talk to him.

Chi Li was still wondering if the two Jiangs were brothers when she felt a warm touch on her wrist.

Bai Zhenxi grabbed her wrist and walked around Jiang Yun.

After a distance, Chi Li asked, "Do you hate him?"

Bai Zhenxi let go of her wrist, his expression complicated: "Not really, we are not familiar with each other, it's strange, every time I see him, I feel uncomfortable all over."

"Are he and Jiang Yun brothers?" Chi Li asked curiously.

Bai Zhenxi nodded and said, "We have the same father but different mothers. They don't have a very good relationship. Before my family went bankrupt, we were neighbors with the Jiang family."

"What a coincidence! I knew he looked so recognizable, he must not be an ordinary NPC." Chi Li guessed right and said complacently.

"You are not an ordinary NPC either." Even though Bai Zhenxi thought her words were strange, he still agreed with her.

Chi Li shyly covered the lower half of her face and said cheerfully, "Thank you. You are not an ordinary NPC either. You are a handsome NPC who needs to be saved by me."

"Yeah, you're right." Bai Zhenxi nodded with a smile in his eyes.

"We're almost home. Fortunately, it's not far away." Chi Li said, holding Bai Zhenxi's arm.

Bai Zhenxi seemed to be unused to being so close to others. His whole body was stiff and his face quickly turned red, but he did not resist and nodded obediently.

Chi Li lives in an old residential building. The white-gray walls on the exterior are peeling and covered with ivy. The shade of trees hides the building layer by layer, giving it a deep dark green color.

Passing through the rusty iron gate and entering Building No. 1, Chi Li looked around but couldn't find the elevator. She said calmly, "Walking up the stairs is good for your health."

Bai Zhenxi nodded: "You are right."

"It's just the sixth floor. We'll be there in the blink of an eye." Chi Li comforted herself.

Chi Li stamped her feet, and when the voice-controlled light failed to wake up, she sighed helplessly.

The two of them climbed up hand in hand. It was pitch black. Bai Zhenxi took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight to illuminate the corridor.

"If you go home like this every day without a light, what if you get into danger?" Bai Zhenxi asked worriedly.

"When you encounter danger, put on a villain makeup first." Chi Li panted and joked with a look of despair.

"You don't have to put on villain makeup anymore." Bai Zhenxi supported the breathless Chi Li.

"Thank you, you look a bit like the eunuch supporting the empress dowager, hahaha." Chi Li grabbed his hand and laughed.

Bai Zhenxi pursed her lips. If she let go, he would have no place to live again. She better endured it.

After reaching the sixth floor, Chi Li took out the key and unlocked the door with the help of the light from her cell phone.

It was much better than Chi Li had imagined. The room was very tidy, with a small bed on the balcony, and the bathroom and kitchen were very close.

"Are you sleeping on the floor?" Chi Li looked at Bai Zhenxi.

The living room and bedroom are integrated, and there is not even a sofa inside. There is no other way to sleep except on the floor.

Baizhenxi was quite satisfied. This was much better than sleeping on a park bench.

"Okay, sorry to bother you. Are you hungry? I'll cook for you."

Bai Zhenxi was very considerate and opened the small refrigerator that was only half his height, but it was empty.

"Ah, hahaha, it's okay, we can cook some noodles." Chi Li walked into the kitchen and found a small bag of noodles in the cabinet.

Bai Zhenxi closed the refrigerator door, walked in, picked up the noodles and looked at them: "Okay, I'll cook."

"I'm fine, not that hungry. Just cook less. It always feels a bit sinful to eat midnight snacks." Chi Li said.

Bai Zhenxi was really hungry. He had only been drinking water all day, so he put water in the pot to cook noodles with a little excitement.

Chi Li went to take a shower, and as soon as she came out of the bathroom, she smelled the aroma of noodles.

Her hair was still wet, and she was too lazy to wipe it. She sat across from Baizhenxi, picked up the bowl, smelled it, and said, "It smells so good. I wasn't hungry."

Bai Zhenxi didn't even have time to say anything. He ate the noodles in big mouthfuls, looking a little embarrassed, and finished a bowl of noodles in three minutes.

He put the bowl down, feeling that he was not full, but he gave up and decided not to eat. He was afraid that Chi Li would think he had eaten too much and kick him out.

"Have you finished eating? Instant noodles won't satisfy your hunger. Are you full?" Chi Li asked while taking a sip of soup.

Bai Zhenxi nodded. He planned to drink water to satisfy his hunger when he was hungry.

"It's easy to catch a cold if you have wet hair. Let me help you blow your hair. Where is the hair dryer?" Bai Zhenxi asked.

"No hair dryer, I'm strong and won't get sick." She gave up after looking for it but couldn't find it.

Bai Zhenxi took a dry towel and looked at Chi Li, hesitant to move: "Am I being too presumptuous? Can I help you wipe it?"

He had just eaten noodle soup, and the heat made his jade-like face slightly red, giving him a strong sense of the everyday world. At this moment, he looked at Chi Li with watery eyes, like a puppy.
