"Hmm! I like this too!"
Xia Luer pinched Xia Lingyue's face and said, "No, you have to give it to your brother carefully, understand? Otherwise, your aunt won't bring you a gift next time."
"Humph, he's so stupid. If you give him a gift, he will just put it in his mouth and bite it."
Seeing Xia Lingyue disdain her brother, Xia Luer suddenly remembered herself and Xia Yue in the past.
"Lingyue, let me teach you how to sing."
"Ah? Singing... I don't like singing."
"But if you can sing to your brother and coax him to sleep, dad and mom will think you are a good child and that you are very sensible."
"......"Xia Lingyue was somewhat moved.
After teaching Xia Lingyue to sing the nursery rhyme from her childhood, Xia Luer sent the girl back home and placed a letter on the table.
Xia Lingyue returned to the room and looked at the ruby pendant in her arms excitedly, then looked at her brother who was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Finally, she kicked Li Lingsheng awake.
"Sit up, I'm going to sing to you now."
"Woo...Sister, I want to sleep."
"I just sang to put you to sleep."
"I, I was already asleep."
"Shut up! Listen to me singing! This way mom will think I'm the most sensible one!"
Then the next day, Xia Lingyue was beaten by Xia Yue for bullying her younger brother.
“Wuuuuuuuuuu!! Auntie is a liar! Auntie is a liar! Wuuuuuuuuu!!”
Li Muhan, who was standing by, noticed the envelope on the table.
He picked up the envelope, took a look at it, frowned, and said to Xia Yue: "It's a letter from your sister. It seems that she...will be away for a while."
Chapter 814 Chapter 9: Welcoming the New Life
"Ms. Sasha."
Early the next morning.
Zuo Chi and Sasha sat in the office on the second floor of the clinic.
They had to continue their conversation from yesterday.
"Did you sleep well last night? Although the guest room has not been occupied for a long time, it is still clean."
"Yes! Yes, there is a bed. I, I like it very much. Thank you!"
At this moment, Sasha took off her military uniform, which was no longer bright and beautiful, and put on her own gray-brown patched coat.
Her boots didn't fit her feet well, and the soles looked like they were worn through. It was unclear how long she had worn them.
Zuo Chi noticed all these details.
He said calmly.
"The Special Management Bureau will grant me some special funds, so I will also pay you. The monthly salary is 3,000 yuan. Because of your identity, you cannot buy five insurances and one fund. If you don't mind living with a man like me, you can continue to use the room you slept in last night. I will provide you with three meals a day, morning, noon and night. Can you accept it?"
After hearing Zuo Chi's words, Sasha's eyes almost lit up.
She kept nodding her head.
But Zuo Chi suddenly raised his hand, interrupting her excitement.
His eyes became serious, as if he had something more important to say.
"Well, then we can talk about you, Ms. Sasha. When you were serving in the army, were you a logistics medic?"
Sasha was stunned, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then she slowly shook her head.
"So... do you have any research in the medical field?"
Sasha shook her head again, her eyes revealing a hint of apology, as if she was sorry for not being able to meet Zuo Chi's expectations.
"What about pharmacology?" Zuo Chi did not give up. He asked questions one after another, trying to find a point of entry.
Sasha's answer was still to shake her head, with a hint of confusion on her face, as if she didn't understand why she was being asked these questions.
"What about basic nursing?" There was a hint of helplessness in Zuo Chi's voice. His questions became more and more specific, but the answers he got became more and more disappointing.
Sasha shook her head more firmly, and her eyes revealed a firm rejection, as if telling Zuo Chi that she was even further away from the medical world than he had imagined.
It turned out to be the case.
Zuo Chi had a headache. He rubbed his temples gently, with a complex emotion welling up in his heart.
He originally thought that Sasha's military background might be of some help to the clinic, but now it seems that this beautiful girl knows nothing about medicine.
Although she is beautiful, this is a clinic, not a stage.
Zuo Chi thought to himself that what he needed was not a pretty face, but someone who could play a role here.
A beautiful appearance can certainly make patients more approachable, but it does not account for a large proportion.
He sighed and looked at the girl sitting opposite him with some apology.
Sasha's eyes were full of anticipation and anxiety. She seemed to be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to prove herself.
A complex emotion surged in Zuo Chi's heart. He knew that he needed to make a decision, a decision that was responsible to both parties.
"I'm very sorry, Ms. Sasha, I may need some employees with medical background now. I'll ask Chief Li to find you a job..."
Before Zuo Chi could finish speaking, Sasha suddenly stood up again.
Her movements were a little hurried, as if she was looking for something important.
There was a determined light in her eyes, as if telling herself that she couldn't give up like this.
She began to search in her bag laboriously, her hands shaking slightly and she looked a little nervous.
Her bag seemed to be filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items. To Zuo Chi, most of them were old garbage and torn clothes. She took them out one by one and put them back one by one.
Finally, she dug out a tattered notebook.
The cover of this notebook is a little worn and the paper is a little yellowed, but it can be seen that it has been carefully preserved.
"Study, study, I, I, I study, what, everything, do..."
Sasha's voice was trembling, but her eyes were extremely firm.
Zuo Chi watched her clumsily open the notebook. The cover of the notebook was so worn that the original color was almost invisible.
There were some crooked drawings written on the notebook, with rough lines and mottled colors, like children's scribbles.
These drawings are Sasha's own understanding and memory of knowledge, although they appear incomprehensible to Zuo Chi's eyes.
"I...I study...every day...I will work hard...I will definitely learn and do everything...!"
There was a tremor in Sasha's voice.
Her eyes were fixed on Zuo Chi, as if she was using all her strength to show him her sincerity and effort.
Seeing how hard she was working, Zuo Chi became even more confused.
He looked up at Sasha, her eyes full of anticipation and anxiety, as if she was waiting for a verdict.
A complex emotion surged in Zuo Chi's heart, but in the end, he still opened his mouth and asked.
"You...can't read?"
This sentence made the atmosphere completely awkward, and Sasha's eyes slowly changed from panic to loss.
Her body trembled slightly, as if these words hit her most vulnerable spot.
The girl knew very well what this meant. If anyone discovered that she was illiterate, she would be ruthlessly driven out.
She screwed up, and she exposed her greatest weakness.
She slowly closed the notebook and carefully stroked the cover again.
Then he put it back into the bag, his movements gentle and slow, as if he was performing a ritual.
Then, Sasha stood up, bowed to Zuo Chi, and walked towards the stairs carrying the dusty bag.
Zuo Chi suddenly realized that what he had just said had caused great harm to the girl in front of him.
He saw Sasha's back trembling slightly, and a feeling of guilt and sympathy surged in his heart.
"...If you want, you can start with cleaning, cooking, etc."
There was a hint of hesitation in Zuo Chi's words. He had never been so emotional before.
Although his reason told him not to take in this trouble, nothing good would come of being associated with the Special Management Bureau.
What's more, this time it's not just the Special Management Bureau, there's also that troublesome Area 91...
But for some reason, he still did it, and when the girl looked back at him with a hint of confusion, Zuo Chi actually felt that he was not wrong.
The girl's thin back trembled slightly, as if these words touched a corner deep in her heart.
She turned slowly, staring at Zuo Chi with her moist amber pupils.
Sasha's eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty, as if she was confirming the authenticity of the matter.
"I'll pay you a salary and take care of your food and lodging. If you're willing to learn, I can teach you some basic medical knowledge. I apologize for my slip of the tongue, Ms. Sasha."
Zuo Chi's voice was still somewhat indifferent, and there was an awkward feeling in it, as if he himself didn't know why he said those words.
"I...will definitely! Work hard! I...clean!...cook!...do the laundry...! I, I'll learn...everything!"
Sasha suddenly spoke, her voice filled with urgency and determination.
I couldn't help but shed tears, but they were not tears of sadness, but tears of welcoming a new life.
All...learn?
Zuo Chi scratched his head.
Could it be that this girl doesn't even know these basic life skills?
Before he could react, a furry body crashed into his arms.
The sudden warmth and softness caught him off guard, and his body stiffened in an instant.
The girl was petite, only about 1.6 meters tall, while Zuo Chi was 1.85 meters tall.
With this huge height difference, the girl looks particularly fragile, like a small animal in need of protection.
"Thank you, thank you... Thank you, thank you..."
The girl's voice trembled a little. Although her words were simple, she repeated them over and over again, as if she was expressing her deep gratitude in this way.
Her tears had already burst out, streaming down her face and dripping onto the floor.
Zuo Chi didn't know where to put his hands, so he finally put them in his coat pockets.
"You're welcome. Um, remember to have the floor mopped later."
Chapter 815 Chapter 10: Blasphemer
【Fly me to the moon~?~And let me play among the stars~?~】
Melodious music echoed in the prison. The man leaned back in the recliner in the prison, closed his eyes lightly, and enjoyed the music on the radio beside him.
My mind is full of fantasies and longings for the moon.
"Homesick again, Dad?"
At some point, Li Muhan had already squatted beside him.
Elias slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at Li Muhan.
"I have to say, Li Muhan, you are really generous. You are actually willing to call me dad."
"Hey, the shit you did was disgusting, but luckily you didn't do it in the end."
