"If your head gets blown up, it's Xier's fault, hehe~"

"Xi'er is going home now. She's going home to continue being her brother's caring and thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket. I'm so happy~ Big brother, be careful on the way back, don't get left alone."

At this moment, Li Mo, who was typing at home, suddenly coughed violently. He sniffed and said thoughtfully, "I always have a bad feeling. Could it be that Qiluo came back early and wants it again? Hiss... No, no..."

Chapter 57 Confession

Li Mo calculated that it was almost time for the children to get out of school.

I don’t know how Xier feels in the other world, whether she did what he said, or whether no one has changed. Xier is still that timid child, being bullied by others and having nowhere to cry to.

Li Mo knew that Xier didn't want him to know her situation in the other world.

An ordinary guardian might not believe it and might even think that Xier is a bad kid who likes to lie and use absurd excuses to cover up herself.

But...

Li Mo turned off the alarm on his phone that was set to ring in ten minutes, raised his head, and stared at the distant sky outside the window with his bright brown eyes. The sunset jade pendant and the fiery red robe wrapped the whole world.

From afar came bursts of dull and solemn bell sounds, like triumphal trumpets.

"Even if they're bad kids, I won't sit idly by."

"After all, I am your guardian and should take responsibility for your mistakes, as well as make amends and pay you back."

Li Mo lowered his head and spoke to himself.

First, he turned on the heater on the bedroom door. Since the house was quite large, it would waste a lot of money if he wanted to fill the entire hall with heaters. Li Mo was not that rich yet.

So it was enough to just turn on the heating in the children's bedrooms, and as for myself...

Li Mo shrank back. This coat was brought back for him by Shi Yu Qiluo last year. It was quite warm. He didn't need to turn on the heating in his room, which saved him some money.

At most, I would wait for the children to come back and go into their bedroom to warm up for a while.

Maneuvering the wheelchair, Li Mo quickly headed towards the elementary school.

Junior high school finishes late, so Li Mo picks up the elementary school children and goes home, where he quietly waits for Xier and the others to show up.

Every Thursday and Friday, the primary school gate is always filled with various stalls, and the aroma of cumin and barbecue fills both sides of the road.

Especially in the cold winter, the stalls are steaming, which makes the children in school unable to take their eyes off the food on the stalls and pull the adults next to them to ask for pocket money to buy the food sold on the stalls.

The children gathered around Li Mo and walked slowly in the direction Li Mo was going.

Most of the children did not look at the stalls, but talked to each other, as if deliberately avoiding street food.

But Li Mo noticed that there was a first-grade child at the end of the line. He was biting his fingers, staring at the skewers on the stall, and swallowing his saliva.

The child next to her grabbed her hand and was about to walk forward, saying something angrily.

Li Mo was stunned for two seconds, sighed, and touched the meager wallet in his arms.

That's right, how could a child not be greedy? He didn't care, but it was all a show for me.

Li Mo came to the child at the end of the line, pointed at the kebab stand and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

The child answered without hesitation: "Yes!"

Li Mo turned around and counted the number of children, then came to the kebab stall and said politely, "Boss, give me one kebab for each of the children here."

"Okay, don't you want it yourself?"

Li Mo shook his head: "No, I'm not hungry."

It's okay for children to indulge themselves occasionally, but as for him, there's no need for him to do so even if his body allows it.

Ten minutes later, the children around Li Mo each had a skewer of grilled food in their hands, which tasted delicious and they ate it with gusto.

For a child of this age, there should be nothing wrong with what he did, right?

Li Mo smiled. He was just doing what he could.

After returning home, the children who were more afraid of the cold quickly went into their bedrooms because they knew that Li Mo must have turned on the heating in their rooms long ago. As long as they entered the bedroom, their frozen hands and faces would feel the warmth.

Happiness is that simple.

Most of the children returned to their bedrooms, and a few stayed in the lobby on the first floor to play.

Li Mo sat in a wheelchair, facing the gate of the house, waiting for the next group of children to return.

He was used to waiting.

Even though he is not physically old, Li Mo has been sitting in a wheelchair all year round and can only stare blankly apart from working.

Waiting is an extremely common thing for him.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

The door was slowly pushed open, and the golden afterglow of dusk peeked out from the crack of the door, waking up the silent Li Mo.

"Brother Li Mo! We're back!"

Xing shouted as loudly as always, running into the house excitedly.

Bronya and Seele walked in one after another.

Li Mo looked at Xier. Her expression was still suppressed and hesitant before she came in, but the moment the door was fully opened and she saw him, she was still hesitant.

The haze on her face faded away, just like the dawn, casting a ray of bright sunlight on her delicate and lovely cheeks.

"Xier, welcome home." Li Mo said with a smile.

Xier froze in place, quickly adjusted her facial expression, tried hard to smile, and responded positively: "Yeah!"

In the evening, everyone did their job as usual, those who cooked cooked, those who cleaned cleaned, and those who studied studied.

Tomorrow is Friday. After picking up the kids tomorrow, our family will have a short two-day holiday.

Li Mo did not enroll anyone in tutoring classes or interest classes unless they mentioned it themselves.

Therefore, weekends are quite free for children.

There is a garden outside the house, and children can take care of it and play there if necessary.

It’s a pity that this cold weather only means low temperatures, but no snow.

It has snowed before. We played snowball fights in the garden, our noses were all red from the cold, and we lined up to take hot showers.

Although Li Mo did not participate, his physical condition did not allow him to stay in such a harsh environment for too long.

Li Mo covered his mouth and suddenly felt a sour taste in his throat. A familiar taste spread in his mouth.

I quickly went to the bathroom and couldn't help coughing twice. The pool was full of scarlet blood.

"..."

"I have to go to the hospital with Shigure Kirara when she comes back to see how I am doing now."

He would hide this from the children, but he would never hide it from Shigure Kirara.

If there are any problems, just talk about them and solve them together, instead of doing what some anxious screenwriters write, where they deliberately hide the truth in order not to worry the other person.

Li Mo still wants to live until he dies naturally and won't do such a stupid thing.

The last time he went to the hospital, the doctor estimated that he could survive for three to five years.

Shigure Qiluo will use various channels to find the most advanced and effective medicines, so this time will be extended.

Now Otto is ready to push the plot forward, so Li Mo is sure that Otto will die before him.

Once Otto dies and Cecilia is freed from her destiny, Shigure Kirara can shake Cecilia over and release the power of the Black Abyss White Flower to heal herself.

It is very simple for the Key of Life and Death to treat an ordinary person. There is no problem at all. Li Mo has never considered the problem of failure.

If even Heiyuan Baihua can't save him, then he can just wait for death.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Li Mo checked the dormitories as usual.

After confirming the number of people, he returned to his room on the fifth floor and continued typing on the keyboard.

At ten o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on the door of the ninth room, and Li Mo knew it was Xier.

"Come in, I'm not asleep."

"Ah."

Xier walked in wearing thick pajamas and sat on Li Mo's lap naturally.

The twelve-year-old girl was not heavy, so Li Mo would not feel any pain as long as he did not resist hard.

"Xier, do you have any questions today? We have finished reading both fairy tale books." Li Mo pretended to know nothing and guided Xier to take the initiative to start a new topic.

Xier hesitated for a moment, raised her head, and looked at Li Mo timidly, showing an innocent look.

The furry pajamas, the snow-white skin, and the faint red stigma on the chest made Li Mo's blood pressure soar.

She still didn't listen to herself and put on her shoes properly, and her bare little feet were pink and tender, dangling back and forth.

Xier did not button up her pajamas, most of her body was covered by them, but only the two buttons on her chest were not buttoned, leaving the pajamas half open.

"elder brother……"

I felt pity for her, her eyes sparkling with the dim white light.

"Xi'er behaved very well in school today. She answered every question the teacher asked."

Li Mo didn't understand why Xier said that. Was she...acting coquettish?

"Seele is already smart and clever, but I'm more curious about what Bronya is doing in class."

Bronya's IQ is so high that asking her to go to junior high school is like asking a high school graduate to do elementary school addition and subtraction. She can figure out the answer at a glance.

Li Mo hadn't thought of this at first, but he remembered it when Xier asked him to answer the teacher's question.

Xier's smile froze, and she immediately lowered her head. When she raised it again, her smile was still bright.

"Sister Bronya was sleeping in class. She was originally listening attentively with Seele, but then she fell asleep on the table."

"Also, I heard from the students in the next class that a girl felt it was too cold with the window open, so she asked the student in front of her to close the window. The student in front pretended not to hear, so the girl beat her up. Xier thought it was so violent. We can all sit down and have a good talk... What do you think, brother?"

Xier asked curiously, and KISS ME blinked her big eyes.

Li Mo felt a little guilty and moved his eyes away from Xier's chest, stroking his chin and pretending to think.

"Emmm... young people, I can understand. If their qualities are unknown, they will become stronger when faced with a stronger opponent. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Since you didn't treat your classmates well, do you expect them to repay you with kindness? If you repay kindness with kindness, how can you repay kindness? Take action when it's time to do it. I support you."

Xier's smile became even brighter, but became very sad the next second.

Li Mo noticed Xier's expression change, so he asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what brother said?"

Xier shook her head. "No, Xier and my brother share the same opinion. But the girl was taken away by the teacher after lunch. I heard that the school punished her for her behavior and required her to apologize to the girl in front of the whole school during morning exercises tomorrow. Xier doesn't know whether it's true or not. Everyone said that the apology letter prepared by the school would sound very humble if read out loud."

"If she really finishes the course, she might never be able to hold her head up again in these three years."

Li Mo seemed to be lost in thought. He was very familiar with this practice, but he never expected that there was such a "fine tradition" in the Far East.

No... The situation of school bullying in the Far East is even more serious than in China. If the children in the orphanage had not been enrolled in groups, they might have become one of them.

Li Mo carefully analyzed the situation Xier described and found that the girl didn't have many options.

The school must have investigated her family background and made such a choice because they thought there was no cost in bullying her.

In order to so-called appease public anger.

No one knows the truth of the matter. Li Mo is not involved and cannot judge who is right or wrong.

"Will the girl be expelled? I remember your school's principal is a pretty good person. As far as I know, he hasn't expelled a student in decades. Even the most naughty kids will be given a chance, and as long as they don't cause any serious trouble, they won't be expelled. At most, they'll be placed on probation."

"For students like you, academic probation will most likely be cleared upon graduation, which means nothing will happen to you."

Xier's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Huh? Really?!"

Li Mo nodded: "More real than Ding Zhen."

Xier: "What is Ding Zhen?"

Li Mo: "It's Cheese Snow Leopard."

Xier: “???”

Li Mo: "Ahem, that's not important. Since the school has given girls the opportunity to apologize, they can actually use this opportunity to their advantage."

"That girl dared to beat someone up in front of the whole class. She definitely doesn't care about her dignity. I'll teach you some beautiful Chinese dialect. You teach it to that girl and ask her to say it when she apologizes..."
