Chapter 36 The humble request

"Bai's Bookstore..."

The girl in the wheelchair raised her head and carefully read the name of the bookstore.

"Sister, is the owner of the store really a good person?"

Ning Xiaoyao's lively and lovely tone healed the deserted intersection. She looked around curiously, as if she wanted to store all the scenery in her memory.

After all, my sister hasn't taken her out of the house for a long, long time.

Even when going to school, it was just a matter of setting up a projector at home and synchronizing the real-time images of the school on the wall. Until now, Ning Xiaoyao could only perceive the outside world through the wall.

So she cherishes every opportunity to go out.

"Xiao Yao, you must be polite when you go in later."

Ning Caiying did not respond to her sister's inquiry, but just gave her instructions over and over again. The girl looked tired, as if she had not rested much all night.

The bouquet of black goldenrod flowers completely turned her into a frightened bird.

According to common sense, Longhu Company will ensure the privacy among players in order to curb some heinous activities. However, as long as you pay enough 'candy' to the Star Reaching Buddha, the so-called privacy will naturally become ridiculous. joke.

For the first time, Ning Caiying felt the malice behind this job.

She was scared, she was really scared.

The girl almost panicked and escaped with her sister. Although she looked calm on the surface, the girl's bandaged palms were still trembling slightly.

She had a nightmare almost all night, and the nightmare was filled with her younger sister's immature face in a pool of blood.

Maybe this unusual little bookstore is the last straw I can grasp.

"Please come in."

At this moment, Bai Yue's gentle voice came out. The girl took a deep breath and pushed open the glass door in front of her.

The environment in the bookstore is as always, clean and warm, with the fluffy white cat napping lazily, and the clear-eyed boy sitting behind the counter, making endless amounts of hot tea.

The haze in Ning Caiying's heart suddenly became smaller. This bookstore seemed to have a magical power, some kind of reassuring power.

"Hi boss!"

The girl in the wheelchair immediately showed a lively smile, and she looked at the products in the bookstore.

After replenishing the new batch of goods from Lao Wen, Bai Yue deliberately replaced the prominent Dongguo novels with Yanguo cultural books in order to save the poor reputation of the bookstore.

Although doing this still feels a bit cover-up, Bai Yue thinks that the effect is still very good. Except for the little fat guy just now, there have been a lot less customers asking if they have any CDs when they come into the bookstore recently.

"welcome to our store."

The young man looked at the guests in front of him, not to mention the pony-tailed girl with a bandaged arm, but the important thing was the thin and slender girl she was pushing.

The girl has long hair reaching her waist and a pretty face, but her face is too pale. She is wearing a light yellow dress and has bare feet. Even though she looks very weak, her big eyes are smart and bright, and there is no trace of anything in them. gray.

She should be the sister Ning Caiying mentioned.

Bai Yue skillfully poured two cups of hot tea for the visitor. His eyes did not linger too much on the visitor's physical flaws.

"Xiaoyao, go and find the books you are interested in on the bookshelf. The boss and I still have something to talk about."

The girl gave a few instructions and released the wheelchair in her hand.

"Understood, sister."

The girl responded obediently. She turned the wheels of her wheelchair and browsed the small bookstore with some difficulty. However, the girl's eyes would occasionally glance at the yawning white cat on the counter.Bai Yue watched as the girl with a ponytail sat down awkwardly in front of him.

Then, she took out a small package from her arms and gently pushed it towards herself.

Bai Yue took it with some doubts. The young man opened the package and found that it actually contained several bundles of brand-new Chinese coins, some copper change, and even two pieces of shining gold jewelry.

"What does this mean? Why did you bring all the dowry?"

Bai Yue said in surprise.

"No...it's not a dowry! Don't get me wrong."

Ning Caiying's pretty face flushed immediately. The girl lowered her voice and defended in a low voice: "These are the rewards I saved from fighting... Those two gold necklaces are the only valuable possessions in my family..."

Bai Yue tied the package tightly again.

The young man smiled: "This guest, I remember, the transaction between us does not require money, right?"

"Boss Bai, I just want to use this money to ask you for one more thing."

"what's up?"

The young man's eyes were calm.

"Please, take care of my sister Ning Xiaoyao for a while."

For the first time, a humble prayer appeared in Ning Caiying's eyes:
"I'm not sure I'll survive the next fight, and I don't know if the Blood Witch will come to my door in advance. Can you...can you help me take care of her? Just a while, just a short period of time."

Bai Yue did not respond. The young man just stared at the other person's eyes quietly, as if he was lost in thought.

"Whether I can survive or not, I will give you this money."

The girl said anxiously, her shoulders trembling slightly: "Boss Bai, I know you are not an ordinary person, and you are the only person I know who can protect Xiaoyao. I...I can only ask you for help... "

The girl in the wheelchair had arrived behind her sister at some point.

She slowly raised her arms, as if she wanted to touch her sister's back, but she stopped again. Ning Xiaoyao lowered her head. The girl looked down at her legs. The lively illusion in her eyes gradually dissipated. A void remains.

Downtowners.

Ha, these are the people from the lower city.

Strong as weeds, fragile as weeds, humble as weeds.

After tearing apart the cold reality and humble dreams, what are they left with?What are they left with?

Bai Yue thought about it and found that he was not interested at all.

"You can raise your own sister by yourself, don't use the money to come here and cause trouble for me."

He pushed the money bag back: "I'm a lazy person and have never been good at taking care of others, so I won't help you with this."

Hearing this, Ning Caiying's eyes dimmed instantly. She held her money bag blankly, feeling so helpless for the first time.

The girl turned her head and found that her sister behind her had tears streaming down her face. The girl bit her lower lip tightly and tried her best not to cry outside.

"But... you can let her come over and do a part-time job."

But before the girl could say anything, she heard the boy's laughter again:

"I happen to be short of a clerk here who can help me water the flowers and take care of the cats in the store during a certain period of time. I wonder if your sister is interested in this?"
