　　The young man under the street lights had long and voluminous hair that was down to his shoulders. The shadows made it not able to see his facial appearance clearly. His clothes accentuated his beauty, even though he was quite tall.

　　After the rental time expired, Bai Lian first saw this scene. He couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, and only until half a day had passed did he call out, “Sinan Ke!”

　　With Sinan Ke looking up, you can see the face under the street lamp. It’s a handsome, masculine figure that is very different from the white lotus. The three-dimensional, fairly mysterious face and the relaxed feeling from him made him look very bright and handsome, but the big grin on his face adds a little bit of stupidity and sunshine to him.

　　He’s like a big dog, loyal and loving.

　　Sinan Ke took initiative and asked with concern, “How’s it going, are you all right?”

　　He said that while still holding out his hand.

　　Bai Lian subconsciously wanted to hold his hand. The palm of his hand was warm and dry, feeling very secure. He said, “It’s okay, I listened to you. There were other witnesses in the hotel, so those people were expelled. “

　　Sinan Ke was dumbfounded and looked at the joined hands.

　　He was just trying to touch the kid’s head…

　　But… forget it.

　　He holds Bai Lian’s hands, and he can’t help but sigh, “Never mind, you have weak hands… smooth and tender… cough! Why don’t you go to another place to work? It would be too dangerous if something like this happened again.”

　　Bai Lian held Sinan Ke’s hand tightly, and the two of them walked together on a dark street, with the sound of quiet, leisurely insects ringing through the campus.

　　He couldn’t help but feel sweetness that he had never felt before.

　　”I… I still want to work there.”

　　”There’s a lot of money that I have to pay for… and I want to pay off my debts as soon as possible.” He looked up and stared at Sinan Ke. His wet eyes were full of dependence, as well as hidden feelings that were not easily discernable. “Then you will only be treated as a creditor. “

　　Sinan Ke: “…”

　　He couldn’t help but drool.

　　Foul, foul play ah!

　　Raising his head like that… simply put, it should be illegal ah!

　　Sinan Ke’s face twisted in the shadows, so Bai Lian couldn’t see his face. He was unable to bear it and accidentally laughed, but with great effort he honorably remarked, “But it’s dangerous…”

　　He’s concerned about him… Bai Lian could not resist holding Sinan Ke’s hand tightly. His small hand was completely enveloped by the bigger one. It’s only a little warmer than his body temperature, but it’s as if it can warm his whole body…

　　Bai Lian said, “It’s okay… I will be careful. If anything happens, I will call you!”

　　Sinan Ke is still a little uneasy.

　　Sinan Ke looks at the pure face of Bai Lian, and he can’t help but indulge in flights of fancy¹.

　　When Bai Lian saw Sinan Ke struggling, he suddenly felt that the humiliation he suffered completely disappear. His mood suddenly improved. It seems that if you just look at this person, you can follow the sun.

　　Sinan Ke can’t stop himself from looking at the pure face of the white lotus.

　　If nothing had happened today, he could have gone to work part-time to protect this pig-sucking little white lotus, but now…

　　He beat people up there, and seen the manager, so he’s afraid he can’t do part-time work there.

　　Sinan Ke was so worried that his hair started falling off.

　　But Bai Lian seemed not worried at all, holding Sinan Ke’s hand, and his mouth curved up in a smile. They walked on the stone-slab road, until they reached the dormitory building. He was broken-hearted having to leave².

　　He didn’t live in the dormitory building.

　　Bai Lian looked at Sinan Ke and said, “Goodbye.”

　　Sinan Ke said goodbye in an absent-minded manner, and turned to the stairs, thinking about Bai Lian’s work.

　　Bai Lian stood near the dormitory building, watching Sinan Ke go upstairs. Only after his back disappeared did he leave.

　　The next day after class he went to work. Sinan Ke had to send a text message to Bai Lian every half an hour, otherwise he would feel uneasy. Fortunately, Bai Lian was also very conscious. In the past few days he has been working in the dark, painting his eyebrows thick, and playing poker.

　　After more than 10 days, Bai Lian had not encountered an accident, which made Sinan Ke relieved.

　　When National Day arrived–although they went to high school–they took three days off, and the two of them agreed to go to the nearby mountains together.

　　It’s not a famous attraction, it’s just a scenic mountain nearby. The two of them are still in huge debt! They can only go to nearby countryside to spend their time relaxing to celebrate the holidays.

　　Looking at the orange sun rising in the distance, Bai Lian says lightly, “Sinan Ke.”

　　Sinan Ke gnaws on the chicken feet. Because he had something in his mouth, he looked at Bai Lian with his eyes wide open to show that he heard it.

　　When Bai Lian saw him like that, he couldn’t help but smile.

　　He’s really like a big dog.

　　Bai Lian said, “Thank you.”

　　Sinan Ke bites the meat off the bone in his mouth, chews and swallows it, then says, “What are you thanking me for?”

　　Bai Lian shakes his head and says, “I know… a million isn’t a small number, and you’re just an ordinary middle school student…” He had a look of sorrow on his face, and watched quietly as the sun gradually rose in the distance.

　　”This should have been my responsibility.”

　　Sinan Ke looked distracted.

　　In fact, if he was really a classmate of Bai Lian, he would at most privately give some help to the child. It would be impossible to give the other party so much money to repay the debt, even if he was very popular. After all, a million is not a small sum.

　　It was also because he knew that he would always leave, and that this world was not his world.

　　”…”

　　No wonder Bai Lian is so dependent on himself for trust, he wouldn’t lend him 300,000 US dollars when he was in trouble, yet still calls himself his father!

　　After thinking about it, Sinan Ke couldn’t help but feel a little depressed.

　　He snorted, “Don’t worry too much, actually my parents were senior executives of big companies, they invested and saved a lot of money. My aunt and uncle were good people and they didn’t use any of it. They were afraid I would spend too much money, so they didn’t give me any once. You don’t have to worry too much about me… I am absolutely not worried about money.” You can go back after you’ve done your job, and you’re not afraid to spend money…

　　”My parents are both very good people, every year they donate money to Hope Primary Schools³. If they knew I helped you, they would only praise me.”

　　Sinan Ke had a guilty conscience twisted beginning, but pretended to eat chicken feet earnestly and continued organizing things.

　　”Don’t worry, I won’t give up on myself.” He looked at Sinan Ke and said in earnest, “For the rest of my life, you saved me, and I will never let myself fall into that position again,” he says, “because I decided to live for you. “

　　Sinan Ke’s chest feels heavier from his guilty conscience, but he smiles and says, “Haha, really? You’re gonna live better, or I’ll be sorry! “

　　Bai Lian puts his head on his shoulder, nods and closes his eyes slightly. Feeling the warmth of the morning light on his face, he says, “I will.”

　　But Sinan Ke’s heart felt strange, though he was not quite sure why. Sinan Ke was a very unusual young man. He was called a beast from his intuition by his father—because every time he could accurately escape a violent beating from his mother’s rage, he even found his father’s money-hiding place many times, no matter how hidden. So he went off the topic, and he said, “Bai Lian, I want to eat a popsicle, do you want one? I’ll go down the mountain to the convenience store to buy two. “

　　Bai Lian looks up and says, “Yi? You want an popsicle? I’ll go buy it. “

　　Sinan Ke grinned and said, “No, your body is weak. You can do push-ups, climb up and down, but then you’ll be tired. “

　　Bai Lian: “…”

　　He stuck his bottom lip out as he said, “I want vanilla ice cream. Remember it’s the Alps one!”

　　”Okay!” Sinan Ke then stood up and ran down the mountain.

　　Walking on the dirt road in the mountains, Sinan Ke was sweating. He didn’t know what was going on, but he just felt that Bai Lian’s attitude towards himself was a bit strange, and he also had a feeling that if he didn’t stop it early, it would only get worse and worse.

　　After he bought the ice cream, Sinan Ke started walking back. Suddenly he had an unknown feeling, and he began running towards the top of the mountain, but half-way he heard some discordant voices.

　　”Why don’t you play with us men? What are you afraid of?”

　　”You’re a cute girl, so why don’t you give birth to my son, OK? Call Brother! Together we will do this delicate girl, as soon as he comes. “

　　Sinan Ke stopped running and turned to the place where the noise was coming from.

　　There, Bai Lian was leaning against a tree and gazing at some un-mainstream teenagers, “I have a companion, and he’ll be back in a minute. You should leave!”

　　One teenager sneered, “Then where is he?”

　　A young ruffian with three yellow strands of hair⁴ said, “We have four people, how many do you have? Ten or eight? I’m afraid that’s the only way you can beat us. You want to threaten us?”

　　”I didn’t expect you to be quite smart.” Sinan Ke says, “Do you read conventional reasoning and morals scriptures? “

　　When Bai Lian heard his voice, his eyes brightened and he turned around and cried, “Sinan Ke! “

　　Yellow hair said that he would appear, and he did. The tiger changed faces quickly, and fiercely spat, “Who are you ah? I’m warning you, you better get out of here, or my brothers won’t be able to eat… “

　　His brother, who was close to Sinan Ke, at one station, abandoned his speech. His words had yet to finish when he was stopped by his brothers flying out and becoming crippled.

　　Sinan Ke took back his foot and pretended to wipe off the dirt on his leg, and said, “Hmm? What was that?”

　　Yellow hair: “…”
　
　　Everyone: “(⊙⊙)!”
　　”Σ( ° △°|||)︴!!!”
