Translated by shi+ya of Exiled Rebels Translation
Yan Ke and Lu Shang conversed while eating Yan Ke was shocked that this ”child froined Yan Ke was cohout his childhood, but now that they hadIt seemed like Yan Ke was blinded by all the rumors, to know a person, you'd have to converse with them yourself
”I'd be at ease if you are the one with Tong Yan's stocks At least I' and hi, ask and I shall assist you”
Lu Shang raised his cup to show his gratitude; he drank the whole cup down
”On the subject of letting someone doe are just so alike My father died too early, your father wasn't great either At least I have a daughter, but you…” Yan Ke was a little drunk; he burped Looking at Li Sui as blocking wine for Lu Shang the whole time, he said, ”If your father knew, he'd be furious to death…no, furious to live”
His words were not appropriate, but they weren't out ofseemed to be undisturbed, he just poured hi a reply
After dinner, sos Li Sui had toointo the fe hiood person, but his choice of friends was bad Genuine talents came from hard work, but fake talents caed to the latter group A lot of his friends looked down on the poor, they got their kicks out of looking down on people, soht for that
This ti didn't smile, he crouched down to tidy up Li Sui's clothes, ”You've never been here before?”
Li Sui shook his head
Lu Shang patiently taught Li Sui Telling hi roo the sounded like a parent warning his kid before a school field trip ”When you are here, you're a customer If you have any problems, you can ask the staff for help If they refuse your reasonable requests or inquiries, you cancontinued, ”If any other custo you, you can alsowas too correct and serious, the others ere just enjoying the show all felt ashamed At the end, all of theh at Li Sui any was always a lowkey person, except for Yan Ke and Sun Mao, no one there knew him Before Yan Ke's friends ca an old monk-like person for dinner, they had no idea who this person was either After dinner, when they heard fro was, they all wanted to punch the hard But that was of course another separate tale that took place later
Hot spring water would increase one's blood pressure, Lu Shang naturally didn't go in Lu Shang sat at the side, looking at Li Sui having fun in the water When Li Sui finally had enough, Lu Shang scooped hiht hi left, Yan Ke heard about the incident and went apologizing to Lu Shang Lu Shang didn't cohed and said ”it's fine” while waving his hand, his face red and puffed fro had his own stubbornness in this particular aspect,to do with his own experiences He could tolerate a poor and depressed person, but he couldn't accept people who lack the heart to do better Just like how people who always laughed at others being stupid were usually quite stupid the at others were usually weaker than the ones they laughed at, because only a weak heart required so fake to patch it up This was also the reason why Lu Shang wanted to help Li Sui soout This kid was like a dried-up whale, Lu Shang wanted to know so badly how Li Sui would turn out if he were to give him water; what kind of waves would this whale create?
They went past a super down notice Lu Shang wanted to buy soo home on his own
This was the first time Li Sui visited a super so overwhel asked what he wanted twice, but he didn't even hear him ”Chocolates? Chips? Carbonated drinks?”
Li Sui had a faave up asking altogether He loaded the cart with food a child would like, that wasn't nearly enough though Lu Shang asked Li Sui to get a basket and he filled that up as well
When Lu Shang was paying at the counter, Li Sui was staring at the shelf near it
”Which one do you want? Take it if you want” Lu Shang reminded him
Li Sui wavered, but picked up a small pack of milk biscuits at the end
This was the first ti he yearned to co couldn't help but stare at Li Sui for a while Lu Shang turned around and said to the cashi+er, ”I will have the whole box, thank you”
Lu Shang put all the bags into the back of the car, before he closed the car door, he asked, ”Do you like this?”
Li Sui held the pack of biscuits in hand and nodded, then he shook his head again At the end, even he hi Lu Shang didn't ask further, he just focused on driving
When they almost arrived home however, Li Sui spoke ”Froe The orphanage was poor, it had a hard ti all of us three , sorab a hand full of powder and eat it dry We hadn't eaten snacks before, so we thoughton earth It was only very later on did we find out that the e” Li Sui picked up a piece of ht me to the supermarket, I suddenly found out that there were sofelt a bit touched, keeping his eyes on the road, he asked, ”Hoere you all these years?”
His tone didn't sound like he was asking Li Sui, instead it was as if he was asking a relative whom he had separated from for years Li Sui paused for a bit and asked, ”Are you askingstared at the road, ”H's direction, it seemed like he had to chew over his words a bit, ”If I were to couess After I left the orphanage, I fell into the hands of human traffickers Then some stuff happened, and I was left at Li Yan's bar I stayed in the bar for three years, then you broughtbefore you were at the orphanage?”
