Enjoy life, but be passive

"Then... let's shake hands, as a testimony of friendship."

Xu Xuejing's eyes curved into crescents, revealing the most innocent smile.

"Ah... ok, okay."

Chen Xiao felt his breathing quicken. He looked at the snow-white and delicate little hand and slowly held it with excitement.

It feels smooth to the touch.

Still with temperature.

It feels like holding a ball of cotton, very comfortable.

just.

With his eyes fixed on the tender little white hand, he didn't notice at all...Xu Xuejing's originally smiling face suddenly became extremely disgusted.

The corners of her mouth twitched and her eyes were full of disgust.

"Thank you...thank you for being my friend."

Chen Xiao didn't go too far. After just two seconds, he let go of Xu Xuejing's little hand.

He raised his head with some excitement and thanked Xu Xuejing.

He still didn't notice.

In just a moment, Xu Xuejing's disgusted expression disappeared and she showed a lovely and gentle smile again.

"Senior, you are a little silly." Xu Xuejing covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Ah? Is that so?" Chen Xiao scratched the back of his head, looking confused.

"Ok!"

Xu Xuejing nodded vigorously, and then said seriously, "There is no need to thank each other between friends! Senior, please don't say it again in the future."

"Of course, I still have to thank you for this meal, otherwise I would have gone hungry."

Her smile faded.

Instead, there is a bitterness and helplessness that is not appropriate for this age.

Chen Xiao then realized it.

The girl in front of me, who is two years younger than me, has a family experience that is not much different from mine.

Single-parent family.

My mother works late every night and has no time to accompany her.

After all this, they are basically no different from orphans.

Chen Xiao thought about this.

He just felt that he and Xu Xuejing shared the same suffering...an unprecedented impulse rose in his heart.

That is, he wanted to take good care of this girl who was two years younger than him.

"Um...can I call you Xiaoxue?"

Xu Xuejing paused for a moment, then replied, "Sure, you can call me whatever you want, Senior."

"That's good, Xiaoxue... If you don't mind, you can come to my house for dinner every night... I'm pretty good at making some home-cooked dishes."

"Um..."

Hearing this, Xu Xuejing thought for a moment. After a few seconds, she tilted her head and replied, "Senior, is this my care as a friend?"

"Yes, it is."

Chen Xiao nodded. He didn't dare to say that he wanted the other party to be his sister. He was afraid that saying so would cause Xu Xuejing to be disgusted.

After Xu Xuejing finished thinking, she clasped her hands together and said sincerely, "Then I agree! Of course... I won't eat for free. In return, I will help you clean up. Is that okay?"

"Okay, whatever you want. You don't even have to clean up."

I heard her agree.

Chen Xiao was very happy. It is said that when you are with a lovely girl, your mood will become very good.

Now he also finds that the feeling of being healed is very comfortable.

......

The two made an agreement.

They finished their meal quickly, and after Chen Xiao finished washing the dishes, he sat together with Xu Xuejing to do homework.

A cute girl is by my side.

A fragrant smell came, and Chen Xiao's whole face was filled with smiles.

Until twelve o'clock in the evening.

The lights in the corridor came on again, and Xu Xuejing stretched and stood up, yawned and said, "My mother should be back, senior, I'm leaving first."

Chen Xiao raised his head, his eyes passed over her soft waist, and said with a smile, "Okay, what do you want to eat tomorrow night? I'll buy the food in advance."

Xu Xuejing bent down and whispered, "Senior, I actually like to eat strawberries. Can you satisfy me?"

"Strawberries? I've made a note of that." Chen Xiao nodded...Strawberries are still relatively cheap in this season.

"Hehe, you're so nice, senior. I'll be leaving first. Bye."

Xu Xuejing put on her shoes, put on her schoolbag, waved to Chen Xiao, opened the door and walked out.

As the door closed.

Chen Xiao also heard the sound coming from outside the corridor.

"Xiaoxue? Why are you in the house next door?"

"I forgot to bring my key... The brother next door was kind enough to let me in to rest, otherwise I would have waited for you here for five hours."

"You kid! How can you just walk into a stranger's house? Who knows if he has good intentions..."

Hear this.

Chen Xiao’s smile froze on his face.

The person who is speaking must be Xu Xuejing's mother, but doesn't she know that the sound insulation in the corridors of this kind of old community is basically zero?

What’s the difference between this and telling someone in person that you are a dangerous person?

But soon.

He heard Xu Xuejing's rebuttal.

"Don't say that! He's a very nice guy, he wouldn't do anything to me...ah, you drank so much again! How could I have a mother like you?"

"Hic... dislike me? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have grown this big, hic..."

Followed by.

The sound of a key turning was heard.

The conversation between the two also disappeared.

Calm returned to the corridor.

Soon after, the orange-yellow voice-controlled light also went out.

Chen Xiao, who was sitting in the small living room, let out a breath and smiled bitterly.

He began to fantasize about how great it would be if Xu Xuejing was his sister. As her brother, he would be willing to give her everything.

......

Small bedroom.

The layout is warm and the fragrance is everywhere.

After washing her feet, Xu Xuejing lay on the bed and played with her cell phone.

Two little feet dangling back and forth.

My mother was so drunk that she had already fallen into a deep sleep, and her snoring could be heard in the living room.

Now is her freest time.

No one will care what you want to do.

Lying on the pillow.

Xu Xuejing opened WeChat and clicked on a chat interface called [Task].

As she entered.

Lines of text soon appeared on the screen.

[Task activation successful]

[Task progress search]

[Task locked]

[Task content: Become friends with Chen Xiao next door]

[1. Communicate with Chen Xiao for a few words and receive a cash reward of 500 yuan]

[2. Get to know Chen Xiao and gain his trust, and you will be rewarded with 1500 yuan in cash]

[3. Become friends with Chen Xiao, complete the handshake etiquette, gain his trust, and receive a cash reward of 3000 yuan]

[Task progress search completed]

[Rewards have been issued, new tasks have been refreshed]

.......

The text on the screen stops refreshing.

Simultaneously.

Xu Xuejing saw a stack of red banknotes appear out of thin air next to her hand.

Her expression instantly became extremely pleasantly surprised. She took the money and counted it. It was exactly three thousand, no more, no less! Every one of them was new and real!

"Hahaha! It's actually true. This task software is amazing!" Xu Xuejing grabbed the money and kissed it.

Chapter 4 You Chose the Right Mission

on the phone.

New tasks have emerged.

Xu Xuejing looked over quickly.

[New mission opens]

[Note: You can now choose between short-term and long-term tasks]

[Short-term tasks have single rewards and simple process]

[Long-term tasks have rich rewards, and there will be critical hit effects, multiple rewards, and the difficulty will increase accordingly]

【Please select】...

Two options appear on the screen.

Xu Xuejing fell into deep thought.

First of all, I feel a little disgusted with Chen Xiao.

The reason is very simple. She doesn't like his looks. Although he is quite handsome, he is not her type.

She only likes fair and clean little puppies.

If it weren't for these three thousand dollars.

She would never deliberately say that she didn't bring her keys, deliberately skip meals, and squat in the corridor waiting for Chen Xiao to show up.

And also to establish a cute sweet girl character...

She felt sick at the thought of that guy holding her hand with a silly smile on his face.
