he came on the light

Xiaoya's situation has stabilized for the time being, but she still doesn't like to talk. Although she knows that she will soon integrate into a new family, she is still unfamiliar with all this.

Psychotherapy is never something that can be accomplished overnight, so Xie Chuyun officially moved into Xiang Heng's home.

"Do you...have any...family rules?" Xie Chuyun asked suddenly when he was about to enter Xiang Heng's house with his luggage.

Careful temptation makes people feel distressed.

"It's okay, you can treat this place as your own home. I don't usually clean up very much. I will ask my parents and aunts to clean up on weekends." Xiang Heng said with some embarrassment. He was used to living alone, and suddenly the house With so many people here, I was still a little hesitant.

"Then I'll help you clean up the house from now on! Just treat it as... the rent." Xie Chuyun lowered his head. He is very reserved now, especially when he sees that Xiang Heng lives in a two-story bachelor apartment. The gap between them made him flinch.

"This is inappropriate." Xiang Heng said.

"Huh?" Xie Chuyun raised his head to look at Xiang Heng, his black pupils were full of doubts.

"According to the prices in N city, if you hire a full-time housekeeper, it will cost seven to eight hundred. Even if it is not full-time, it will cost three to four hundred for half-day. If I charge you so much rent a day, wouldn't it be too much?" I'm black-hearted." Xiang Heng said with a smile.

"Then..." Xie Chuyun froze in place, not knowing what to do.

"You can live in my house with peace of mind, and don't worry about the rest. And I asked you to help, so how can I collect rent."

Xiang Heng brought Xie Chuyun's luggage in, and then took him to his own room, which was specially decorated by him. There were some courses that Xie Chuyun was studying, and some English textbooks, because he listened to Said that Xie Chuyun has the expectation of studying abroad.

Xie Chuyun saw the books of his professional courses, and many of the books he chose were not second-hand. A book on Amazon may cost 400 yuan, which is simply unaffordable for a poor student like him.

"Clean up first, I won't bother you, I'll go and see Xiaoya." Xiang Heng said.

"Okay." Xie Chuyun blinked and watched Xiang Heng leave.

This room is almost equivalent to an ordinary four-person dormitory with a bed and a table. The city inside is very new, especially the sheets and bed sheets have just been changed.

After tidying up his luggage, Xie Chuyun was about to go out to get a glass of water, but he didn't expect the phone to ring suddenly.

Glancing at the caller ID, Xie Chuyun felt a little uncomfortable. It was only three days since his mother asked for money last time.

But Baishan filial piety comes first, he can't ignore his mother, so he pressed the answer button afterwards, but the other side was extremely noisy.

"Don't hurt me. I have a son. Isn't it just a small gambling debt? Just ask my son to pay you back when the time comes." Li Lin cried.

Hearing his mother's words, Xie Chuyun's mood did not fluctuate much, because he was already numb, and he probably encountered a debt collector again.

"Your son, your son! I really don't know what evil your son did in his previous life to be your son." It may be that the debt collectors are not worthy of Xie Chuyun. After all, it is really a disaster to have such a mother.

The mother on the other side of the phone kept crying, and the chirping voices of a group of men lingered in her ears. After a long time, Xie Chuyun took the initiative to speak.

"How much does it cost this time?" Xie Chuyun's voice was full of exhaustion.

He has been doing some part-time jobs since his sophomore year in high school, but every month the money is used to pay off his mother's debts.For this reason, he also specially applied for a national bursary, just hoping to continue his studies. In fact, when he was in high school, his mother did not give him money to go to school.

If the teacher didn't see that he was particularly eager to learn, and if the country hadn't introduced many policies, I'm afraid he would have become a low-level migrant worker and would never have the chance to change his destiny.

"100 million." The debt collector on the other end of the phone said.

"... "

Xie Chuyun hesitated to speak, 100 million, even if he sold it after going bankrupt, it was not worth the price.

"Chu Yun, it's time to eat." Xiang Heng knocked on Xie Chuyun's door, and Xie Chuyun quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Give me some time, 100 million is not a small amount." Xie Chuyun had no other choice, his mother was already his only relative in this world, otherwise he would not have been sent to the orphanage back then.

"I'll give you seven days at most, otherwise I'll let your mother go to the moat to see the scenery!" The other party said fiercely.

Xie Chuyun hangs up the phone weakly, what an astronomical figure 100 million is to him, what should he do to save his mother and himself.

Standing outside the door, Xiang Heng heard no movement inside for a long time, so he gently opened the door and found Xie Chuyun sitting on the bed blankly.

"Chu Yun? Did something happen?"

Xiang Heng has learned some micro-expressions, and although Xie Chuyun wiped away his tears just now, he didn't think of the tears remaining in the sunken place. Zhang Xiangheng knew this little detail, and Xie Chuyun cried just now.

"It's nothing." Xie Chuyun shook his head. Although for a moment he thought about whether he could borrow money from Xiang Heng, but they haven't known each other for a long time, so how could they mention the matter of borrowing money!

Besides, 100 million is not a small amount, even if it is lent to him, he will not be able to pay it in a short time.

Xie Chuyun was so entangled that he had no choice but to go around Xiang Liang first, and when he reached the living room, he saw that Xiang Wu and Xiaoya were already sitting at the dining table.

"Hello, Uncle." Xie Chuyun tried his best to smile, maintaining the most basic etiquette.

"Well, sit down!" Xiang Wu also noticed that Xie Chuyun's complexion was not good, and he glanced at his son, who also looked confused.

"Son, did something happen?"

Although the previous "daughter-in-law" dream was shattered, Xiang Wu didn't hate this boy.

"It's nothing, thank you uncle for your concern."

Xie Chuyun rejected Xiang Wu's kindness, but he is actually a very defensive person.Although he is a sunny and kind boy in the eyes of outsiders, but because of his own experience, he is not good at accepting others' kindness.

Since Xie Chuyun was unwilling to speak, Xiang Wu had no choice but to eat in silence.

Xiaoya was also afraid because of the too quiet dining environment. Xiang Heng found out that something was wrong with Xiaoya, so he began to feed Xiaoya, but Xiaoya didn't want to eat.

"Xiaoya, I want to eat. If I don't eat, I will be hungry at night." Xie Chuyun took the children's bowl in Xiang Heng's hand. He knew that Xiaoya is not picky eaters. It must be the first thing to resist like this. Because it is not suitable for the current environment.

"I'm... afraid..." Xiaoya said, compared to the fact that she had dared to express her inner thoughts proactively, this was a big improvement for her.

"Let's not be afraid. After Xiaoya finishes her meal, my brother will pile up blocks with you at night, okay?" Xie Chuyun asked gently.

After Xiang Heng knew it, he immediately brought the toy that someone bought. This is the latest Lego. The price tag on it has not been torn off. It is just a small box of Lego, and the price has reached tens of thousands of yuan.

Xie Chuyun saw the Lego in Xiang Heng's hand, and saw the label on it, and felt an unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

This casual toy costs more than 1 yuan, which may be one to two months' living expenses for an ordinary family.

When Xiaoya saw the cute toy, her eyes lit up instantly. Even though she has experienced too many things, she is still just a child, and her mental development is not yet complete.

After seeing the toy, Xiaoya began to eat with big mouthfuls.Xiang Wu looked at Xie Chuyun. This child is actually very patient. If he is cultivated, he has the potential to be a psychiatrist.

Seeing Xiaoya's big mouthful of food, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

After dinner, Xie Chuyun and Xiang Heng fulfilled their promise, and they took Xiaoya to play with building blocks in the study.

The influence of adults on children is manifested in precepts and deeds. Some adults do not care about a small promise afterwards, but children pay special attention to it.

But when playing, Xie Chuyun was always absent-minded. Xiang Heng had discovered this early on, so when sending Xiaoya to bed, he called Xie Chuyun to the living room.

"Did something happen to you? If you need help, just tell me." Xiang Heng said.

"No need, I can solve it myself." Xie Chuyun shook his head, and rejected Xiang Heng's offer without any thought.

Sometimes he feels like an inflatable ball, no matter the outside world or the pressure exerted by himself makes him keep inflating, one day it will explode, and then go to a situation where there is no redemption.

"Chu Yun, do you know? A person is not an independent individual living in this world. He needs to communicate with the outside world, instead of digesting all the negative emotions alone." Xiang Heng said.

After Xie Chuyun heard it, he lowered his head silently. He didn't speak, but he was thinking about what Xiang Heng said.

What can I say about these things, in the end, I just cause others to worry about me.

"It's really unnecessary." Xie Chuyun still insisted on his original idea in his heart. He didn't want help from others, and he still believed that he could change the current situation by himself.

"Chu Yun, do you know? Why do people often travel together?" Xiang Heng stared at Xie Chuyun, his eyes full of tenderness and deep meaning.

"Why?" Xie Chuyun raised his head, the silhouette of the light hit his face, and a lot of doubts were condensed in those fragile eyes.

"Because people learned to divide labor and cooperate when they first evolved, and this characteristic is also accompanied by the development of human beings. When a group of people travel together, they can choose their own division of labor or cooperation. After all, one more person means more power. .”
