Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

This one is about to run away too.

Unless he's willing to give a raise.

Zou Xun actually understood why Zou Lian was so irritable.

She has always been a person who loves beauty and dresses herself up beautifully every day. Since being diagnosed with late-stage cancer, her health has deteriorated day by day, especially with chemotherapy and medication.

His hair was almost all gone, and he looked sickly.

Especially after Xie Xingbang learned that Zou Xun was not his child, he never contacted her again and didn't give her a single penny.

Zou Lian had tried to contact him before, but was chased out by security guards.

He had never even met Xie Xingbang.

She couldn't accept that she had ended up like this.

But she didn't want to, and there was nothing she could do.

When faced with illness, people have absolutely no power to fight back.

No amount of money can restore a healthy body.

Zou Xun couldn't bring himself to get angry at Zou Lian.

Because he is very sad right now.

If Zou Lian were gone, he would truly be all alone.

All these years, I haven't even had a decent friend.

He didn't want his mother to leave.

He never had a father.

Zou Xun picked up the cup from the ground. "You don't look well. Why don't you take a nap?"

"What does it matter to you whether I sleep or not?"

Perhaps because he appeared too calm, Zou Lian became even angrier.

Zou Xun sighed, "Then let's not sleep."

Zou Lian glared at him.

He was still wearing a mask, and his black hair was a bit long, falling down and covering his eyebrows and eyes. His nose was high and straight, and even the mask couldn't hide his superior appearance.

She was tall but rather thin, and wore a black cotton coat that looked rather loose.

He sat quietly to one side, head down, seemingly lost in thought.

At that moment, even Zou Lian couldn't help but be moved.

After all, no one knows better than her.

Zou Xun is not actually her child.

But without her, Zou Xun would never have lived this long.

Thinking about it this way, the guilt she felt vanished.

She stared at the ceiling, her heart filled with indignation.

Zou Xun sat for a while and noticed that Zou Lian was getting quieter and quieter. He glanced at the bed and saw that she was already asleep.

Zou Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had just woken up and wasn't sleepy, but the ward was deathly still, and he closed his eyes wearily.

It rained yesterday, and today is still a cloudy day.

Zou Lian's bed was originally bed number one, located near the door and far from the window.

The sky was dark and visibility was very low.

The light blue curtains and white hospital bed were already unsettling to look at.

Leaning against the wall, Zou Xun couldn't see his future.

He seems like a child abandoned by God.

He was born without a father.

The children and classmates around him all disliked him and distanced themselves from him.

His mother would take him to move every few days.

After a life of wandering, even attending school normally had become a luxury for him.

Even so, he still relied heavily on Zou Lian.

This was his closest person.

If Zou Lian passes away...

What else does he have?

……

Lin Wu hadn't had such a good night's sleep in a long time.

When I woke up, it was very quiet around me.

There was no more of that noisy talking or laughing.

She stretched, sat up, and picked up her phone to check it.

There are two unread messages.

A message came from Zou Dafa, saying he was leaving first to go to the hospital.

The other one comes from Lin Si.

S: Are you home?

Lin Wu scratched her hair.

Melancholy Sweetie: [Yes.]

S: [Why aren't you opening the door?]

Melancholy Sweetie: 【!! You came to see me?】

s: [Yes.]

Lin Wu glanced at the calendar, puzzled, and confirmed that today was Valentine's Day.

Melancholy Sweetie: [What do you want from me? Go find Sisi.]

s: [...She had something to do.]

Lin Wu's mind raced.

Melancholy Sweetie: [Actually, I wasn't home.]

As soon as she sent that message, she realized just how fast gamers' hands were.

S: [Why aren't you home?]

S: [Did those people come looking for you again?]

S: Where are you now?

S: [I've come to find you.]

Melancholy Sweetie: [They didn't come looking for me, I came to work.]

S: [What kind of job?]

Melancholy Sweetie: [It's the one I told you about before. My friend succeeded in starting his business, and I came to help.]

s: [Which friend?]

Melancholy Sweetie: [You wouldn't know me anyway, I'm really fine. If you're worried, come work with me.]

Lin Wu truly believed that Lin Si would not come.

She said that to put his mind at ease.

I waited for two seconds.

Go back from there.

s: [Okay.]

Lin Wu: "…………"

She closed her eyes in pain and scratched her head.

When she came out of the room, she vaguely saw someone sitting on the sofa.

She took a deep breath and mustered her courage to walk over.

"I want to discuss something with you."

Xu Jingwang looked up from the notebook on his lap and slowly turned to look at it. "Go on," he said.

Lin Wu's cheeks flushed slightly, feeling embarrassed. "Could you arrange a job for me at your company? I don't want any money."

The man raised an eyebrow, seemingly puzzled.

Why?

"My brother is a little worried. I have a job, so he can feel a little more at ease."

Lin Wu's inner feelings were actually quite strange.

That's because she had always thought that Lin Si didn't really care about her.

She thought that if she said that, Lin Si would feel at ease.

As a result, he was still worried and wanted to come with her.

"...Okay." Xu Jingwang smiled. "I happen to need an assistant."

Lin Wu scratched his face and whispered, "Could my brother work as a security guard?"

"What?" Xu Jingwang was taken aback.

"Security guard, or even cleaning if necessary," Lin Wu said, her voice very soft and embarrassed. "Giving him a thousand yuan a month... a thousand yuan is too little... how about two thousand..."

"Two thousand a month will do," Lin Wu said after thinking for a moment. "He's tall and good at fighting, two thousand won't be a loss for him."

"Can."

Xu Jingwang rested his chin on his hand and looked at her. "I happen to have a dinner party tonight. You can come with me."

Lin Wu: "...Okay, but I can't drink much."

"It's okay, I probably don't drink."

He paused, raised his hand, and pinched the bridge of his nose. "By the way, do you know the reclusive fourth young master of the Song family?"

Lin Wu was taken aback, then shook her head. "Not very familiar, but I've heard of him. What's wrong?"

"without."

Xu Jingwang's expression was somewhat complicated. "He's been harassing me lately."

Lin Wu: "...?"

Her expression gradually went blank, and she stammered, "I heard that he seems to like men, especially good-looking ones."

Xu Jingwang: "..."

He pinched the bridge of his nose again. "I've heard about it too."

Lin Wu sat on the sofa. "Don't worry, I will protect you."

Xu Jingwang lowered his eyes, looked at her thin shoulders, smiled without saying a word, and said, "Okay."
