C15

The night was as cold as water.

The blue sky district in the center of A city was a district that was about to be demolished, and most of the residents had already moved away. Few people live here.

Mu Zixi's house was also here, but even the worst house in A city wasn't hers. The landlord had already received the demolition fee and no longer cared about the house, so Mu Zixi still hadn't moved out yet.

There were a total of seven buildings in the residential complex, but from the moment Lin Naoi drove into the residential complex all the way to her residence, he had not seen a single person.

"Zi Xi, is this where you live?" He looked at a dilapidated six-storey building in front of him. Some of the floors had even lost their windows. As for the building on the first floor, the word "dismantle" had also been printed on it. So eye-catching, so shabby.

But Mu Zixi had no choice but to live here, everything was because she had no money. Even if she worked hard, went to school during the day, worked at night, and didn't eat or sleep in order to earn money, she was as thin as a piece of paper and couldn't move out of here.

At this moment, Lin Naoi's heart ached.

This was the first time he was sending Mu Zixi home, but he really didn't expect her to live in such a place.

Seeing Lin Naofan's suppressed expression, Mu Zixi's heart inexplicably ached. The feeling of inferiority was stung. She shouldn't have let Lin Naofan send her back. Otherwise, he wouldn't have seen how poor she was.

"Yes, my family has lived here for many years, and I already have feelings for this place. "I can't bear to tear it apart. After a while, when it's about to be torn apart, I'll go out and live with it." Her voice was as calm as the wind as she tried her best to find an excuse for herself.

However, her hands were tightly clenched, her nails digging into her palms.

Mu Zixi, can you deceive others? You want to leave this place more than anyone, this nightmare, this dark house.

From the place where she had lived with her father since she was young, the only thing she could remember was him beating her up after he finished his wine, calling her a burden. Other than crying, she was begging for mercy, but it was useless. Father was not home. Every day when she returned to that house, she would feel fear, as if the memories of her youth were carved into her soul and would never be erased. When the sky darkened, she could not help but curl up with the blanket over her head, only then could she find a sense of security and barely sleep. In the past, she could work part-time outside until dawn and never came back. When she was in school, she always tried to stay in the dorm and never went home.

But facing such a nightmare like place, she was still her so-called home because other than here, there was no place for her in this world. If there were no more here, she would really be homeless. All the money she earned had to be used as medical expenses for her father. Other than tuition, she couldn't even afford to pay for the food, and out of the three meals of the day, other than fifty cents worth of buns and not eating them, she would also get some biscuits and bread saved by her classmates.

In such a luxurious and extravagant twenty-first century, she actually led such a life. Perhaps, if she didn't study, it would be much easier, but that was the only thing she had insisted on since she was young. What would happen if she didn't study? How would she live without her education and a good job? Was there any hope for her in the future? Therefore, she had to persevere, because she wanted to change her life more than anyone else. She didn't want too many things. She just wanted to live a peaceful life.

But it was too difficult. Because she was soon going to be homeless. The so-called "moving out" day was the day she would be homeless.

How could the heavens be so cruel to her?

Mu Zixi tidied up the pain in his heart and continued smiling as he unbuckled his seatbelt. He got out of the car and said to Lin Naofan, "Big Brother Lin, thank you for helping me today!"

"What are you thanking me for? This is what I should do." As he said this, Lin Naoi also got out of the car. "Let's go. I'll walk you up." His voice was as warm as the sun in June, but it made her heart throb even more.

She could not let him send her up again. Seeing where she lived would only make her feel even more ashamed.

"No need. Big Brother Lin, I can go up myself. " Mu Zixi was still smiling, but subconsciously took a step back.

Please. God, don't be so cruel. What he saw was pitiful enough, pathetic enough. He just wanted to show his pride in front of the people she liked.

"But, I just wanted to send you upstairs … "I want to see if there are any neighbors nearby, so I can be your partner. If there aren't, I'll call my friend and help you find a place to stay …" Lin Naoi's heart ached. It really hurt. At this moment, she was almost certain of what he felt towards Mu Zixi. He didn't want her to suffer, didn't want her to suffer any more grievances.

During the day, he had already seen how desperate she was and only at night did he realize that she was in an even more miserable state than he had expected. How could he just let her go like this?
