Young Again

Chapter 16 Come Live in My House
Chen Wang suddenly understood that it seemed that not only his life was accidental.

Everyone is pushed by fate.

After a long time of quitting smoking, I still smoked my first cigarette again the next day just to show off.

The same is true for Li Xintong.

Not only is she unable to control her own life, but she is also surrounded by evil spirits who want to tear her into pieces.

"Have you read a novel?" Chen Wang asked, looking at her.

With tears in her eyes, Li Xintong looked at Chen Wang speechlessly.

After thinking for a while, Chen Wang said: "Shakyamuni walked alone in the lotus pond of the polar world. Through the lotus pond, below is the eighteen levels of hell, which are full of sinners with unforgivable sins.

The Buddha saw a man named Kandata, who had done all kinds of evil in his life, but he had done one good deed. When Kandata was walking through the forest, he saw a spider crawling on the side of the road, so he raised his foot to step on it to death, but then he thought: the spider is also a life, so he let it go.

So the Buddha dropped a spider silk thread towards hell.

Gandhata in hell saw a spider thread falling from the sky. He grabbed the thread tightly and climbed up. After climbing for a long time, he finally saw the light. But at this time, more and more sinners were climbing up from under the thread.

So he yelled at the sinners below: This spider silk is mine. Who told you to climb up here? Get down now.

After the roar, the spider silk snapped.

Gandha fell back into hell."

"..." After hearing this story, Li Xintong was silent for a long time, and then cursed, "Buddha is too arrogant, he is simply playing with people."

"That's how the Concept Gods are. After all, they are the ones who make the rules." Chen Wang said in approval.

"What do you want to say?"

Li Xintong held back her tears, not understanding what Chen Wang wanted to express.

"If a spider silk like this really fell, would you hold on to it tightly?"

Or, self-degradation.

"..."

Li Xintong lowered her head and chuckled. She didn't respond and said, "I plan to go to Guangdong. I have an aunt who runs a restaurant there. I came back today and made two plans. What if... forget it, the bad result has already appeared, so I can only make a bad choice. Although my ID card is still at home, I borrowed some money from a friend and can take the bus."

It seems that this was the development in the previous life.

Although Chen Wang guessed it, he still said, "Your father..."

"He would have died of illness a long time ago."

Li Xintong interrupted Chen Wang and said numbly: "When I was treating my illness, I sold my house and owed a lot of money. It was this man who helped me pay it back, so my mother married him. Speaking of gratitude, I should be grateful... but I never thought of using this method."

The dignity you have after living under someone else's roof is the least valuable.

In the adult world, there is only equal exchange.

But not getting any protection from his mother was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"You should finish reading the book." Chen Wang said to her.

"Will you continue to endure the humiliation in that family?"

Li Xintong smiled, looked at Chen Wang curiously, and asked, "If Buddha really exists, why can't I see my spider silk?"

"If you did, would you hold on to it?"

Once again, Chen Wang asked this question.

Li Xintong stood up without saying anything, ignoring the test paper that fell on the bench, and gently patted his shoulder. Then, she turned around and left.

Chen Wang stood there, no longer speaking, just looking at her back.

After the other party took ten steps, Li Xintong suddenly stopped.

Turning around, he looked at Chen Wang who was still standing there calmly, and said unwillingly and sadly: "Of course, if there is, I will definitely catch it."

But she can't see this kind of thing.

After getting her answer, Chen Wang said, "Live at my house."

"..."

Li Xintong, who was originally dropping little pearls, suddenly froze.

All of a sudden, it became a human-machine.

Looking at Chen Wang who didn't seem to be joking, he stammered, "You, what did you say?"

"My parents are divorced, and now there are only my mom and I at home, with a total of three rooms. Although there is only one toilet, it should be fine if we plan it properly." Chen Wang thought and said, "It's only a year and a half away from the college entrance examination. Your expenses are just books and miscellaneous materials, transportation, lunch at school, spring and autumn tours, pocket money, and social expenses..."

"How shameless must I be to live under someone else's roof and still pay favors to them!" Li Xintong couldn't help but complain as she watched Chen Wang seriously analyzing the situation.

Li Xintong was too embarrassed to ask for money for spring and autumn trips or pocket money from her stepfather...

"It's not living under someone else's roof." Chen Wang said, "It's an equal exchange."

"..."

After hearing the words "equivalent exchange", Li Xintong lowered her head, looked at herself, then slowly raised her head and met Chen Wang's eyes.

"Why are you always so narcissistic?"

Chen Wang was speechless and gave in. He then explained helplessly, "You can 'rent' my house until the start of college and the payment of college tuition. You can keep a record of all the expenses during this period and calculate them. When you graduate from college, you can pay it back... at the National Bank's interest rate of 6.55% for more than five years."

After calculating in this way, Chen Wang found that he was not at a loss.

It is possible to outperform inflation and still make a little profit!
After the other party finished explaining, Li Xintong's face suddenly turned red. After holding it in for a long time, she stammered and asked, "Why did you do this?"

Even my stepfather asked me to be grateful.

What does a classmate with whom he has an ordinary relationship want?
Chen Wang, what do you want?
What emotion at that moment made him make such a decision?
After dropping out of high school, Chen Wang was holding his breath, so he didn't ask his family for money and went to Guangdong to work.

In the first few days of work, he didn’t get paid, so he only ate one meal a day. At night, he was alone in the dormitory, feeling dizzy and hungry. He felt like he was dying, and even saw a transparent spider silk falling in front of him...

After waking up, he found that it was indeed an ordinary spider silk.

Who else can come and save me?

"After you graduate, repay me in any way you want."

Chen Wangguan calls this a loan of favor.

"..."

Li Xintong was speechless, and she didn't know what to say for a long time. She raised her head, and in a trance, she seemed to see a wisp of silver thread. Then, she whispered, "Thank you, thank you."

This reaction means that the Enqing Loan contract was signed successfully.

"Okay, then let's go back to your house and clean up." Chen Wang said.

"Do you want to talk to your mother first..." Li Xintong felt a little too fast and said stiffly.

"Don't worry about it. I'll just talk to her while you clean up."

"..." Li Xintong lowered her head honestly, "Okay."

In this way, the two returned to their home in the community.

After knocking on the door, it was the man who opened it.

"...Tongtong."

Just as he was about to say something, Li Xintong lowered her head, walked quickly to her room, and began to pack her clothes and school supplies without saying a word.

The boy who knocked on the door just now was standing next to him, staring at him calmly.

He is obviously just a high school student, but he looks oppressive in an indescribable way.

Moreover, he is much stronger than me and a little taller.

More importantly, he didn't know if Li Xintong had told him everything...

He had no choice but to avoid her sight and shouted to Li Xintong: "Mom will be back soon, tell her..."

Li Xintong paused for a moment when she heard this, but quickly continued to clean up.

And in just five minutes, she put everything she needed in a large pink suitcase and pushed it out of the house.

Determined to leave this place.

"Stupid! Why do you think he helped you?" When she was about to slam the door and leave, the man shouted angrily, "It's because he wants to sleep with you!"

"..."

Biting her lip, Li Xintong dragged the box out of the house without looking back, and said in a forced calm tone: "Let's go."

However, she found that Chen Wang suddenly turned around.

Li Xintong slowly turned around and saw Chen Wang push open the door and punch his stepfather hard, knocking him to the ground...
