"What's bothering you, sister?"

The white-haired girl named Ruo Mucai slowly came to her senses, turned her head to look at Hua Mian, and did not answer immediately.

During the year of getting along, Ruomu Cai never showed a good face to Hua Mian, she always had that indifferent look, but every move was for Hua Mian's sake.

But Hua Mian will not retreat because of her sister's cold face. During this year, she feels that she has almost seen through the character of the original heroine.

In the words of the previous life, it is probably indifferent and arrogant?

"Would you like to tell me?" Hua Mian moved closer to her sister, leaned on Ruo Mucai's shoulder, and said softly, "Let me help my sister share the burden."

Ruo Mucai frowned slightly, staring at her younger sister.

If my sister has always been like this, I'm afraid she won't be able to live in the lower city...

Ruo Mucai had been wandering in District 21 before being adopted by her mother, and she was used to the intrigues here, and now she finally has a stable family, and she doesn't want her family to suffer any harm.

Before Ah Mian grows up, besides her mother, only she can protect her younger sister.

Being stared at by her sister, Hua Mian blinked innocently. She was already good-looking, although her complexion was slightly pale due to her sickly body, but it made her even more lovable.

In fact, Hua Mian, no matter in her previous life or before, was not of this character.

In fact, Hua Mian herself is a little colder, the lonely past has taught her to protect herself with indifference.

It's just that in order to capture the heroine, to complete the system's tasks, and to survive, she chose to pretend to be like this.

After all, who would like her the way she is?

Ruo Mucai was silent for a while, then put down her hands that were folded between her legs.

"You can't help, it's about mother."

Her voice carried a trace of seriousness and indifference, as if she wanted Hua Mian to retreat in the face of difficulties.

Hearing this, Hua Mian lowered her eyes, lowered her head, and whispered as if she was a little disappointed:

"I see, I'm sorry."

After finishing speaking, she slowly got up, turned around, lowered her head, bent slightly, and walked towards her room.

Ruo Mucai looked at Hua Mian's back, opened her mouth, finally couldn't help standing up, and pushed Hua Mian back onto the sofa.

Hua Mian didn't resist, but just raised her head and innocently looked at Ruo Mucai who was holding her shoulder with her hands.

"What's the matter, sister?"

"..."

Ruo Mucai turned her head slightly to avoid her sister's sight, then took a deep breath, turned her head, looked directly into Huamian's light green eyes and said:

"Mom has been coming back late lately, and I just wondered... if there was anything I could do for her."

There was a hint of bewilderment in her tone, which Hua Mian had never seen in the game. In the plot, Ruo Mucai always had that indifferent look from beginning to end.

Hua Mian looked up at the side of the original heroine's face, but didn't respond immediately.

She is not a completely heartless person either. After living together for a year, it is impossible to say that she has no feelings for this mother at all.

It's just that Hua Mian can't do anything except to make her mother worry.

But she can also help her sister.

Hua Mian raised her hand, grabbed Ruo Mucai's wrist, then glanced at the white-haired girl who was pressing her, and said softly:

"Then let's work hard together, for mom."

Ruo Mucai looked at her younger sister who was leaning on the sofa, and swallowed all the drafts that she had already typed in her heart.

Her mood was a little complicated, and she didn't expect that she was not as sensible as her younger sister in this regard.

Against the sunshine through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the white-haired girl nodded slightly.

"Um..."

………………

During this year, another big event happened in the family.

Eight-year-old Ruo Mucai has awakened psychic powers.

Psionic: Speeds up time.

……

Chapter 4 Little Delivery Man

Spring and autumn come, time flies.

In a blink of an eye, another year.

Since my sister's awakening of psionic powers, my mother was happy, but there was also sadness on her face.

Although as long as psykers are not captured and sold for research, the future is always bright.

But psychics eat much more than ordinary people, so Ai Ruomu had to increase the family's expenses in this regard.

In order to support her two children, she has to work more shifts.

Neither Hua Mian nor Ruo Mu Cai is the adoptive mother's biological daughter, but the mother treats them both very well, and she will try her best to satisfy the daughters whatever they want, although the sisters never made any requests.

During this year, due to overwork, Ruo Muai had to rest at home often due to illness.

Although the mother and daughter spend more time together in daily life, no one will feel happy, because this is in exchange for illness.

Feeling the increasingly difficult situation at home, my sister's face was also stained with a bit of sadness.

A large part of the reason why my mother worked overtime frequently was that she had awakened her spiritual power. If she hadn't awakened, the burden on her mother's shoulders would be much less.

But Yuncheng can't even refund many products, let alone this psionic power that everyone is flocking to.

Ruo Mucai decided that she would use her own method to help her mother.

Going on like this will only drag down the family.

Hua Mian saw her sister's determination, she didn't say anything, and she didn't want to stay like this any longer.

She has not forgotten that her ultimate goal is to awaken psionic power.

If she couldn't awaken her psionic powers in this simulation, she wouldn't live long in reality.

Hua Mian watched her sister getting up from the living room and walking towards the back of the room. She turned her head and took a final deep look at the news broadcast on the projection TV. Then she also got up from the sofa and walked in.

She didn't forget her promise a year ago - to work hard with Ruo Mucai.

In the empty living room, the host's voice echoed in the room.

"A violent explosion occurred in the laboratory of Qingmang Biology in District No.13. The president and his wife who were inspecting at that time were killed on the spot, and their daughter was also seriously injured. At present, they have been sent to Qingmang's subordinate hospital for emergency treatment."

"So far, 113 people have been killed in this accident and 3 people are missing."

"As for whether the explosion was accidental or man-made, our station will continue to follow up on relevant reports."

……

It was getting late, but my mother hadn't come back yet.

Ever since my sister had awakened her psionic powers, her mother had been coming back very late.

In order to help her mother share the housework, Hua Mian and her sister do dinner and cleaning together.

Although the street also sells those cheap hunger food, but my mother said that those things are not suitable for children to eat, and it is not good for the growth of the body.

So since Hua Mian came to this house, all she ate was Ruo Muai's own dishes.

Of course, it's her and her sister's cooking now.

Although as a top young lady, she had never touched a kitchen before, but Hua Mian had.

In her previous life, she spent many days alone in the rented house. In order to support herself, she could only get some food to cook for herself.

Although it is not a chef's skill, the dishes she cooks can barely be eaten. At least, Ruo Mucai is very satisfied with Hua Mian's skills.

After simply finishing dinner and putting the rest of the food in the incubator, Hua Mian and her sister dressed up and went out.

This dress is not to make them look more beautiful or anything, but to cover up their appearance a little, making them look less memorable.

After all, the appearance of the two sisters is first-class.

My sister didn't pay attention to this kind of problem when she went out before, and it was Hua Mian who helped her dress up herself.

She hadn't realized how good-looking she was.

In Cloud City, every legend has an assistant.

At least for now, Hua Mian is my sister's assistant.

Coming out of the elevator, Hua Mian and Ruo Mucai merged into the flowing crowd.

The neon lights of Baishu Street had already been turned on, and the holographic projection was shaking above his head like a ghost.

As soon as you look up, you can see the advertisements of the Big Nine, demonstrating their absolute authority over the city.

Not paying attention to those lights and shadows, Hua Mian crossed the dirty sidewalk, avoiding those drunk homeless men, walked side by side with her sister, and walked all the way to the place where the neon lights shined the most.

..................

Cheese Game City.

This is the domain of the neighborhood gang, the Snakes.

The Snake Gang is the leading gang in several blocks nearby, even in the entire underground area of ​​District 21, they have a lot of say.

And this game city, where neon lights and shadows are constantly flashing, is an important stronghold of the Snake Gang.

Of course, Hua Mian and her sister didn't come here to trouble them.

They are not qualified to trouble this gangster.

They are looking for work.

In downtown, there aren't many jobs for underage kids.

Hua Mian recommended this job from the Snake Gang to her sister after excluding dangerous jobs such as street spies from intelligence dealers and child labor in black factories.

delivery man.

In the underground transaction dynamics of downtown, buyers and sellers actually do not trust each other, so a middleman who contacts both parties separately is needed, and the delivery person takes on this task.

The delivery person is affiliated with the gang, but has nothing to do with the gang in essence.

Without the protection of gangs, the delivery man would be courting death if he wanted to do something small.

What Ruomu Cai has to do is to pick up the goods at the specified time and place, and then safely deliver them to the consignee.

Although this job is not a little dangerous, Ruo Mucai has the ability to speed up time after all, and she can quickly escape when encountering danger. In addition, she still appears in the game.

So after struggling again and again, Hua Mian helped her sister choose this job, which was consistent with the original plot.

The delivery person has nothing to do with men, women or children, as long as you are willing to do it, you can get paid.

Novice delivery people don't get much trust, so they can only deliver some worthless things, but as their credit increases, they will earn more and more money.

Although there are not many people in this business, there is no such thing as old people oppressing newcomers. For gangsters, the more delivery people the better.

Because most of the old people are dead.

In order to send those expensive goods.

But it will take a long time to reach that level, so Hua Mian and her sister didn't think too much about it.

As long as it can make money, it's better not to kill people or anything.

In this chaotic downtown, killing and being killed are basically the norm. As long as you don't go too far, no one will care about you.

But Hua Mian and her elder sister are both little girls under ten years old now, so stay as far away as possible if you can.

..................

Above the flashing neon lights of White Tree Street was a gloomy gray sky.

Accompanied by the night, Hua Mian and Ruo Mucai walked into the game city full of hustle and bustle at that moment.

Pushing open the door, they were instantly drowned out by a surge of sound waves, and at that moment, it was as if they were deaf.

In the game hall, the white noise of simulated gunfire and explosions roared wantonly here, and holographic images kept shining overhead.
