After half a lifetime of navigating the world, the system tells me to be a good big brother!

Seeing the questioning look Li Qing gave them, one of them immediately explained to him.

"There aren't eight of us, there are ten in total, and two others went out to work!"

Li Qing then fell silent again, realizing that what he had anticipated was not the worst-case scenario.

Li Qing frowned, his gaze constantly shifting between the living room sofa and the small bedroom, scanning the layout of the room one by one.

Li Qing asked, "So, how will you stay here?"

The girl who had just shaken her head replied in a voice barely audible.

"The bed in the bedroom is very large; it's made by pushing two beds together, one large and one small."

There are six beds, two sofas outside, and two extra spaces for sleeping. Basically, you can sleep wherever there's space.

We don't sleep together, so there's always someone who's not sleepy. We can take turns anyway.

The girl who nodded was quite at ease, and because it was hot, she used her newly put-on T-shirt as a fan, tugging at it to keep warm.

"There's always room if we squeeze in."

To this explanation, Li Qing could only say that Xiao Dao had opened his eyes wide.

The living conditions are really terrible, but even so, these kids can still make a living outside. He really didn't know what to say.

Compared to his days when he was out there, these young people are really pathetic.

Back then, at least he had his own place, even though the environment wasn't great, it wasn't like this before.

The old, dilapidated apartment, barely over 50 square meters, was crammed together with ten people taking turns sleeping. These teenagers were truly capable of enduring hardship.

They're all so hardworking; if they really wanted to do something worthwhile, they'd definitely make it big one day.

Li Qing was quite impressed with the two girls in front of him; these young men were already in such a state, yet they still hung out with them.

"You two are planning to just drift along like this? What kind of future can you expect? What will you do in the future?"

Li Qing finally couldn't control herself and asked the question.

But the girl who had nodded earlier took off her top again right in front of Li Qing.

"Brother Qing, look at me, what else can I do? I'll just take it one day at a time."

When I'm broke, I go out and shoot old men. Old men are easy to kill; one shot can keep me alive for another month or so.

As the girl spoke, she pointed out the tattoos on her body to Li Qing, and finally proudly talked about her business acumen.

What the girl in front of him said had a great impact on Li Qing. Even the hardware and software engineers he had met when he was young did not have the same attitude towards life as the girl in front of him.

The situation was so chaotic that Li Qing really didn't want to stay there any longer; there was just too much information to process.

He also had a guess that the two who went out to work were very likely the ones who went out to beat up the old man.

He understood what the old man meant; there wouldn't be anything else besides the three items.

He didn't ask any more questions and turned to walk towards the door.

"Alright, that's settled then. You've delivered the person; take good care of them!"

"Thank you, Brother Qing!"

The two girls replied in unison, their tone filled with obvious awe.

As he went downstairs, the cool night breeze brushed against his face, clearing his mind a bit.

Every day is filled with car repairs, settling disputes, and finally settling in the mentally challenged young man. I'm really bored.

Li Qing strolled towards home, once again walking home alone late at night.

-----------------

Early the next morning.

Li Qing was awakened by the chirping of birds outside the window. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Xia still fast asleep beside her.

Without disturbing her, I quietly got up, washed up, and went downstairs to buy breakfast.

When he got home, Lin Xia was already awake and brushing her teeth in the bathroom.

"Finished getting ready and coming out for breakfast!"

Lin Xia responded while brushing her teeth.

"Okay, I know. What time did you get back yesterday? I was so sleepy that I didn't wait for you."

Li Qing set the breakfast on the table before answering Lin Xia's question.

"It's probably a little while, I didn't check the exact time when I got back."

Let me tell you, yesterday I acted like a complete fool again, taking that person back home on foot.

Li Qing immediately gave Lin Xia a concise account of what had happened the previous night.

Especially after he talked about the "spiritual young woman" beating up the old man, and the "spiritual young woman's" attitude towards life.

As if she had heard some incredible gossip, Lin Xia came up to Li Qing with a toothbrush in her mouth and her eyes wide open.

"Can't believe it? Everyone says we were all very successful and quite chaotic back then."

"These young people nowadays, I feel they're even more chaotic than we were back then."

Lin Xia blinked, her face still showing an incredulous expression.

"Isn't this similar to those old models where the 'chicken head' was kept by the chickens?"

Li Qing looked helpless and replied while eating, "Who says it isn't? Let's not talk about that. Hurry up and finish eating. You still have to take me to the motorcycle shop later. I left my motorcycle with Uncle Aili."

Urged on by Li Qing, Lin Xia immediately sped up her pace.

Less than half an hour later, the two hurriedly arrived downstairs, still riding Lin Xia's ride—a new national standard electric scooter.

Li Qing sat slumped in the back like a strong man riding a dog, and they arrived at the motorcycle shop in a rather comical manner.

The motorcycle shop had already opened by then, and his current appearance was clearly seen by his own employees.

Li Qing was aware of the snickers from the shop assistants, and he immediately made a decision: once this deal was done, he would definitely buy Lin Xia a car.

Otherwise, if this happens every few days, it really wouldn't be a big deal.

"I'm supposed to meet Liu Heng at noon, so I won't be coming to the billiards hall to find you!"

After saying goodbye to Lin Xia and watching her ride away on her electric scooter, I went into the motorcycle shop.

As soon as Li Qing entered the store, Xiao Guo rushed over to greet him and asked him a question.

"Brother Qing, nothing happened after we left yesterday, right?"

Li Qing reached out and ruffled Xiao Guo's hair before slowly speaking.

"What could possibly happen? Nothing at all, it's just that the final process was a bit complicated."

Li Qing isn't a big talker, but yesterday's events had such a huge impact on him that he ended up telling the part of the story that he could.

But after he finished speaking, he didn't see any surprise or astonishment on Xiao Guo's face.

It was as if what Xiao Guo said to him was commonplace.

"Don't you find it strange, bizarre, and unacceptable?"

Xiao Guo's expression didn't change at all, and she immediately spoke to him.

"What's unacceptable about this? Isn't this normal?"

Brother Qing, let me say something you'll find even harder to accept: those two girls you mentioned are very likely shared.

By "public," I mean that everyone uses it at the same time.

"Holy crap, this is complete chaos?"

These words instantly flashed into Li Qing's mind, and he felt as if the sky was about to fall.

It turns out there's a saying that's really true: art originates from life but transcends it.

It turns out that what Little Days is making may not just be an art film, but very likely a documentary.

"Damn it, I'm getting old. This is a bit of a shock. Let me catch my breath. Liu Heng will be here soon. Just call me when he arrives. I need to process this."
