Before Li Yuebai could open his eyes, he smelled the smell of wet soil when it rained, and heard the bustling footsteps of the crowd.
After opening his eyes, he found himself walking in the exit passage of the subway, holding a folded umbrella in his hand.
The subway station looked like it was ten years ago, the passageways were not wide enough, and the crowd was a bit crowded. There was a huge poster of Ono Lisa's concert on the wall, and the preview date was also ten years ago.
After setting the time, Li Yuebai had no time to stop, and walked out with the crowd wholeheartedly. When he walked out of the subway entrance, he opened the black umbrella in his hand in time, and the tiny raindrops fell densely on the umbrella There was a rustling sound, and there was a sidewalk outside, with lush green shrubs planted on both sides of the road, but under such a gloomy sky, the green shrubs did not look so green.
Thinking of the 13-year-old Ye Qing waiting for him at a certain corner of the road, Li Yuebai's right hand holding the umbrella trembled slightly.
"Host." The system's voice jumped out beside my ears.
"Thank you, system." Li Yuebai paused, took a deep breath, clenched the handle of the umbrella in his hand, and walked forward.
The boy's figure quickly came into view—a navy jacket and khaki shorts, white and slender arms and calves exposed, and black curly hair—but all of this was already wet by the rain.
Li Yuebai's heart tightened, he quickened his pace, walked in front of the boy, and held the umbrella above the boy's head. Bending down, he revealed a somewhat bitter smile.
He really wanted to smile like usual, but he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it at all, his eyes were sore and his face was too stiff, and he was afraid that if he relaxed his control a little, he would cry out uncontrollably.
Therefore, he is trying his best now, and he can only laugh to this extent.
The boy blinked and looked up at him.
The boy's skin was almost pale, his facial features were exquisite and beautiful, and his expression was gloomy and alienated. Li Yuebai couldn't retrieve the memory of his previous life, but he had already imagined it countless times in the systematic description. There is almost no difference.
"Why are you here alone?" Li Yuebai asked as softly as possible.
The boy just looked at him without answering.
In the previous life, I must have asked here for a long time, but I didn't get an answer in the end.
This time, Li Yuebai didn't have so much patience and didn't have so many questions to ask.
He stretched out his hand directly and naturally: "Let's go home with my brother."
Hearing the word "go home", the boy obviously hesitated.
"It's not going back to your house." Li Yuebai smiled: "It's going back to my house."
As soon as he returned to the rental house, Li Yuebai directly took the boy into the bathroom, turned on the water heater, and took out soap and towels. However, after hesitating again and again, he hid and left the boy in the bathroom alone, letting him Wash it yourself.
He really wanted to check on the boy's injuries himself, but it was inappropriate after all. He didn't have the slightest desire for the juvenile's body, but he was still suspected of pedophilia if he checked it casually.
It was not until the next day that he took the boy to the acquaintance's doctor for a physical examination, and the results were shocking—cigarette butt burns, needle holes, blade wounds, whip marks, and even traces of the iron... The juvenile's back, abdomen, leg roots and other private parts are not deep and not fatal, but they will give people fragmented pain and satisfy the perverted desire of the perpetrator.
Li Yuebai thought that he had already prepared himself mentally, but when he saw the inspection report, he almost shed tears.
"Host, I can play the video recording of the abuse scene here. Ye Qing's father is very secretive, but the system knows everything..." The system said: "Would you like to watch it?"
"No." Li Yuebai refused resolutely, he couldn't bear to watch: "How could someone have the heart to do such a heavy hand to their own child?"
"The reason is very simple. It is a reason you are familiar with." The system said: "Father thinks that mother has an affair with others, and thinks that this is not his own child, but a symbol of his own betrayal. In addition, father's innate cruelty And cold blooded…”
Holding the boy's hand and walking back to the rental house step by step, Li Yuebai's mind was in chaos, thinking about the next step.
He used to think about how to take the boy away from his father, but now, he only wanted to send the boy's father to prison.
"Host, should you call the police?" The system said: "I don't know much about your world, but calling the police seems to be a common method when you are violated, and your identity in the second world is the police, so you may know better."
"..." Li Yuebai thought for a long time, and finally said: "No."
If the juvenile was abused by a stranger, calling the police is of course the best choice, but now... it is an injury between family members. Whether it is the police station or the court, mediation is the first choice for domestic abuse cases. Generally, the father of the child is called to criticize and educate, and the most serious is to detain him for a few days, and then the father will still be allowed to take the child home, and everything will continue as usual.
If you want to solve the problem really quickly, you still have to start from other aspects.
"What is the occupation of Ye Qing's father?" Li Yuebai asked.
"I used to be a financial worker in a government department, but now I'm in business." The system replied.
Li Yuebai almost laughed out loud.
With such a professional resume, it's too easy to get hold of it.
Returning to the rental house in a good mood, Li Yuebai cooked a large table of dishes in the kitchen humming a song. He has always been good at cooking, but he is lazy when he lives by himself, and he often makes do with it. Now considering that the boy is still growing, he can't treat him badly, so he brought out all his housekeeping skills.
The boy sat at the table and looked at the dazzling array of food, with a surprised expression on his face for the first time.
"Eat, eat." Li Yuebai patted his head happily: "But don't eat too much, it will be bad for your body if you stretch yourself."
The boy carefully took a bite of the beef in the bowl, and his beautiful eyes immediately widened. Li Yuebai interpreted this expression as the expression of eating delicious food in a relaxed and free state for the first time.
"Brother." The boy said hesitantly, "You are a chef...?"
The boy didn't speak easily, and the words he said were short and intermittent, so it was really gratifying to say such a long sentence all at once.
"No." Li Yuebai shook his head: "Brother is a teacher... oh, not yet, now a graphic model."
"What is a teacher?" the boy asked.
"A teacher is..." Li Yuebai patiently thought about how to explain it in words that teenagers could understand: "The person who can make you smart."
This explanation is really deviant.
"What is a plane model?"
"The most beautiful person in the world." Li Yuebai boasted casually.
The young man nodded with a vague understanding.
Really, at this time, he is so obedient and easy to bully... Li Yuebai sighed sweetly, feeling that the boy is easier to handle than Ye Qing in any other period.
There was a burst of footsteps and voices outside the door. It should be that the neighbors came back from work. The sound insulation effect of the rental house is not good, and the sounds outside can be heard, but Li Yuebai didn't care.
But the boy tightened his body nervously, and only continued to eat in small bites after the voice subsided.
"What's the matter, are you afraid?" Li Yuebai sat over nervously and patted the boy's head.
The young man trembled slightly, then looked at Li Yuebai, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, will you send me home?"
The boy's eyes were like grayed stars, looking at Li Yuebai with a sense of despair that shouldn't be at this age, as if he already knew the result. The teenager doesn't know the world yet, but he knows it vaguely—everyone will stay in their own home, and every family will only accept their own family members, and no one will live with strangers.
My brother will definitely send me home, and will definitely let me return to my father again.
Li Yuebai was stunned when he saw this, and the metal spoon in his hand fell to the table with a clang.
He didn't remember what happened in his last life, but he could imagine how desperate and sad the boy must have been when he insisted on sending him home in his last life.
Absolutely, absolutely cannot let this happen again.
"No." Li Yuebai was excited, and couldn't help but grabbed the boy's arm. Fortunately, he didn't use any force: "I won't go home."
"Huh?" The boy was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it.
"As long as you don't want to go back." Li Yuebai said seriously: "You can stay with my brother all the time."
"...Okay." The young man hurriedly agreed as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word.
"Since you agreed, it's time to tell me your name." Li Yuebai blinked.
Every time Ye Qing travels through a world, he will have a different name. I got acquainted with him in the second time, so I have been called Ye Qing habitually, but in this real world, it may not be necessary.
"...Ye Qing." The boy replied in a low voice.
"Huh?" Li Yuebai was pleasantly surprised, what a coincidence? It happens to be the same as the name you are most familiar with
"Host, it's the weight of the weight." The system couldn't see it, and helped to explain: "Travelers often have the same or similar names in different worlds. It was not a coincidence that you traveled six times before. The people you met all had the same or similar names. Different names, according to the probability, there should be a similar one."
"Okay." Li Yuebai nodded solemnly: "Then, little friend Ye Qing, you can play for an hour after eating, and then you have to wash up and go to bed obediently."
"Can I watch that?" Ye Qing timidly pointed at the TV.
At home, his father only locked him in a small bedroom and did not allow him to watch TV.
"Yes, but to protect your eyes, you can only watch for half an hour." Li Yuebai nodded seriously.
Little Ye Qing obediently went to play by himself, Li Yuebai sat down at the desk and seriously thought about what to do.
Now that you have agreed to let him live in your own home, you must remove all obstacles for him.
Father, household registration, other relatives, school status...
Li Yuebai is very fortunate, after all, he is not the 18-year-old himself anymore, he has ten years of life experience, and many more years of time-travel experience, in addition to the help of the system. Things that were difficult to reach the blue sky in the previous life can also be successfully done now.
With the help of the system and using computer technology, they can hack into Ye Qing's father's computer, get some evidence of economic crimes, and then investigate who he has offended and who are eager to deal with him for profit reasons...
It's the same as the method of sending Su X to prison in the previous episode, as long as you grasp the profit network, it's very simple.
After his father is imprisoned, Ye Qing's custody will be transferred to his uncle's family. The uncle's family has no affection for Ye Qing and is unwilling to adopt him. Solve the problem.
In this way, Ye Qing's household registration can be transferred to his uncle's house, and he is nominally adopted by his uncle, but what his uncle has to do is to help with the formalities, and there is no need for actual upbringing. The actual upbringing is all in Li Yuebai's responsibility.
When Ye Qing is a few years older, he can be sent directly to boarding school. Although he is a bit reluctant, this way of growing up can train him even more.
After writing a whole set of plans, Li Yuebai hummed happily.
Within four or five months, everything was settled.
"Host, the situation is going well." The system said, "Congratulations."
"After all, it's for him." Li Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief: "Besides, compared with the previous missions, this difficulty is really low."
"Well, the Lord God also appreciates your efforts." The system said: "Since this step has been successful, let's skip directly to the next stage, after Ye Qing becomes an adult."
Li Yuebai was holding Ye Qing's hand and walking towards the amusement park, when he heard this, he froze: "So fast."
"Of course, your lover is now a teenager." The system said: "The system also considers your health and law-abiding."
"..." Li Yuebai choked on the system's words.
The system is right, I really can't have feelings for 13-year-old Ye Qing, it's a crime.
If you really let yourself survive for five or six years, it would be too unbearable.
"Thank you, System, I agree to skip to the next stage." Li Yuebai smiled: "But before that, let's go to the amusement park."
"Okay." The system seemed to be moved.
The sky was clear, the sun was shining brightly, and there were a few white clouds floating in the sky.
Li Yuebai took Ye Qing's hand and walked into the playground. The colorful amusement facilities, large dolls, small trains, and tents in front of him made Ye Qing, who rarely went out, widen his eyes, and his face flushed red.
Li Yuebai felt a little tired after taking him to play the most interesting games as much as possible. He turned his face and saw the air gun booth.
The air gun fires plastic bullets, and it doesn't look like a real gun, but Li Yuebai still couldn't help but think of Ye Qing in the second wear. At that time, he always used such a rifle as a weapon, and he was as handsome as a superhero.
With a thought, Li Yuebai had already pulled Ye Qing to the front of the booth and bought several shooting opportunities.
However, when he raised his gun to aim, Li Yuebai yelled that something was wrong.
This body of mine is the same as in the previous life, no martial arts, no marksmanship, no combat experience, and even cs game is not good, it is impossible to hit.
After firing a few plastic bullets, they missed the target without touching the edge.
"Brother." Ye Qing tugged at the hem of his clothes beside him: "Let me try it, okay?"
Of course!
Li Yuebai felt joy in his heart, and hurriedly handed the gun to Ye Qing with a doting smile.
Ye Qing carefully carried the somewhat large spear on her weak shoulders, and lightly hooked her fingers.
The plastic bullet penetrated the bullseye in an instant.
The next shot, a plastic bullet pierced the plush teddy bear's forehead, knocking it off the shelf.
As the sun was setting, the two walked out of the gate of the playground with a bunch of plush toys in their arms. The sun stretched the shadows of one big and one small very long.
This moment seems like eternity.
