Chapter 11 Unlucky Girl
A busy waitress took a break and came over. She wanted Liu Zhongze to order food using his phone, but he refused.
The waiter couldn't help but glance at Liu Zhongze's unmade-up face a few more times. It has to be said that Liu Zhongze's appearance is quite outstanding, a completely different style from his previous life. In his previous life, he was more of a tough guy, and it was because this type of person didn't have much of a memorable quality at the time that he wasn't given important positions.
"What would you like to order, sir?" The waitress's face, covered by a mask, flushed instantly. She glanced furtively at her colleagues and breathed a sigh of relief when she realized no one was paying attention to her.
"Give me a set meal for two," Liu Zhongze said, glancing at the food picture above his head before asking, "Does the children's set meal include toys?"
"Yes, sir, would you like to change to a children's meal and a single meal?"
Liu Zhongze smiled politely and shook his head, saying, "Let's have the two-person set meal and the children's set meal. How can one children's set meal be enough to fill you up?"
When Liu Zhongze saw that little girl Liu Yiyi, he could feel a closeness from blood ties. Especially after going through her memories, he realized that this unlucky girl had really had a lot of bad luck. She had never had a good life since she could remember.
Liu Zhongze was living a good life. He stayed in Lin Luoying's rented room every day, with no worries about food or drink. When he needed money, he would go to Lin Luoying, this young lady from the Beijing social circle. However, he was too comfortable and could not get what he wanted, which made him have suicidal thoughts.
When Liu Zhongze sat back down next to Liu Yiyi, the unlucky girl's eyes darted around, as if she knew nothing. It seemed that she would never ask for money unless Liu Zhongze asked her for it.
The brother and sister remained silent. One didn't know how to communicate with her new sister, while the other was afraid that if her brother spoke, he would take all the 37 yuan she had worked so hard to earn.
Liu Zhongze glanced at Liu Yiyi. Although Liu Yiyi's gaze did not fall on Liu Zhongze, she still shivered. Her small hands under the table were sweating as she gripped the 37 yuan.
"Please come and collect your food, guests at table 35. Please come and collect your food, guests at table 35."
The loudspeaker at the front desk blared twice. Liu Zhongze glanced at the number 35 marked on the seat, got up, and walked towards the front desk.
Taking advantage of the moment, Liu Yiyi stuffed the money back into her sock, but when she saw Liu Zhongze take the plate full of food, her conflicted heart finally gave up, her hands went limp and the 37 yuan in her hands almost fell to the ground.
"Why are you so listless? Come on, eat your food." Liu Zhongze's tone at this moment sounded more like Liu Yiyi's father than her brother.
Liu's father might not be older than Liu Zhongze in his previous life. After meeting him, Liu Zhongze didn't know whether to call him "Dad" or "Brother." He couldn't very well tell his father that he was a different person who had transmigrated to be his son. If his father disagreed, they would have to go their separate ways.
Liu Zhongze shook his head, amused by his own thoughts, a scene that nearly scared Liu Yiyi to death.
The little girl already felt something was off about her older brother. As soon as he brought out a plate of food, he grinned sinisterly, looking just like a villain from an animated film.
This guy must be planning to sell me! He was probably thinking about how much money he could get for me, that's why he was laughing so happily!
The little girl has an incredibly strong ability to make connections; she's already imagining being beaten by her adoptive parents who are her buyers, and having to wash clothes and cook for her new, unfamiliar parents every day.
As she thought about it, the little girl's tears began to fall onto the table.
Liu Zhongze was startled. After thinking for a moment, he realized that although the Liu Zhongze in this body was not a good son, he was still quite good to Liu Yiyi. It was just that he had only been good to her for a short time before, probably only during the winter and summer vacations when she was old enough to remember things. He wondered if this little girl had forgotten.
"What's wrong, Yiyi?"
Liu Yiyi cried even harder. She glanced at her older brother and, thinking that she wouldn't be able to eat these hamburgers and fries anymore, she ate while crying, not replying to her brother. She just wanted to eat her fill.
Seeing his younger sister's strange expression, Liu Zhongze felt he needed to improve his sister's impression of him.
It's okay, he has plenty of time to make it up to his sister.
Before she knew it, Liu Yiyi's attention was drawn to fried foods like hamburgers and potato chips, and she gradually forgot about being sold. By the time she stopped eating, she had already finished more than half of the food, and she even found a small toy figure among the food.
I thought to myself: Even if I'm sold to a new home, I'll take this toy with me. I'll never give it to you, you stinky old man!
"Let's go after we finish eating."
Liu Zhongze stood up and saw that his sister's expression had become aggrieved again. He really couldn't understand what was going on in the little girl's head. This girl wouldn't talk to him much, which left him helpless.
When they returned home with the unlucky girl, the lights were already on, and they could hear Liu's parents' voices coming from inside.
Liu Yiyi stopped and asked, "Brother, you're not planning to sell me?"
Liu Zhongze bent down to be at eye level with Liu Yiyi and asked, "When did I say I was going to sell you?"
It's just...it's just...
Liu Yiyi thought about it for a long time, and it seemed that she really hadn't heard her older brother say that he wanted to sell her.
Wait! If he's not after me, then he's after my parents!
"Mom, that ingrate is home! Lock the door!" Liu Yiyi walked past Liu Zhongze, who was still in shock, opened the door, and jumped inside. Then, the sound of the door lock clicking could be heard from inside.
"Yiyi, you're home. What did you just say?" A woman's voice came from inside the door.
"Mom, you're such an ingrate! You're such an ingrate!"
"What ingrate?" the woman asked, still puzzled.
"It's you, bro!"
The room fell silent for a moment, then the sound of dishes falling was heard. The toilet flush valve was pressed, and a tall figure appeared in the room, hurriedly approaching the dining table and discussing something with two women, one tall and one short.
Mr. Liu lowered his voice, but it didn't escape Liu Zhongze's ears: "Is it really your brother who's back?"
"It's that guy. I offered him money, but he refused and instead took me out to eat first."
"Oh no, this time it's aimed at your parents! What are we going to do? Will we even be able to get through the New Year?"
The woman said irritably, "His father, what are you saying? We can't just give Zhongze money every time he comes home, can we?"
The woman was calm and assertive at home, displaying a strong, independent woman's demeanor. She said, "Yiyi, go open the door. I'm not giving Zhongze any money. Let him make a scene this time; your parents won't give him any more money!"
Yiyi said in a low voice, "But Mom, how can my brother guess where you hide your secret stash of money? Didn't he find the emergency fund himself before?"
The room fell silent again, then the lights were turned off, and the sound of bottles and jars being moved could be heard.
After a long while, Liu Yiyi said in a childish and innocent voice, "Brother, Mom and Dad aren't home, you should go back."
"Silly girl, didn't I tell you to say that Mom and Dad are sick and that your brother should go home first?"
Liu Yiyi said pitifully, "I forgot..."
