Night.
Su Yue wasn’t badly injured today, and he didn’t want to go back to the hospital, so he took so ti to visit the night market to relax.
Being the class monitor, he had a bit more freedom to move around.
Actually, there was no need for Liao Ping and the others to move around either; they were lying in bed unable to take care of themselves every day, people like Su Yue are indeed rare.
Su Yue hadn’t asured his Qi Blood value recently, but he firmly believed he had definitely broken through to 20 Cal.
Theoretically, Su Yue could be ranked now.
But he must first cleanse his bones.
Anyway, he’s not entering the Damp Realm yet, not ranking won’t kill him.
His future needs to keep going further, reaching the Grandmaster Realm is inevitable.
Don’t regret it when you’re at the Grandmaster Realm because of short-sightedness now.
You have to hold out until the Golden Bone Form.
As for the second cleansing, Thunder King, just take it step by step.
Platinum Bone Form, don’t force it.
"Huh, isn’t that Old Zhao?"
Suddenly, Su Yue saw a person with a bandaged head sitting on a bench on the street.
He looked closely.
Who else could it be but Old Zhao?
In his hand was a Huawei phone’s gift bag; this 15,000 phone had already been bought.
"Old Zhao, are you trying to eat barbecue but don’t have enough money?"
Su Yue walked over and patted Old Zhao.
The guy was staring at the barbecue stall across the road.
No wonder he couldn’t take his eyes off it.
The smoky grill, the fragrant seafood stir-fried, diners clinking glasses — it’s all mouthwatering.
"Oh, it’s Xiaosu.
"I just changed my dicine, how could I eat this greasy stuff, I’m waiting for my daughter to get off work."
Old Zhao was taken aback when he saw Su Yue.
Then he pointed to a short-haired girl.
The girl was sitting on a small stool next to the barbecue stall, with a tall stack of plates on her left.
She wore rubber gloves and was skillfully washing plates under the faucet.
Judging by her efficiency, she hadn’t just washed for a day or two.
"She... your daughter?"
Su Yue was stunned.
It was different from what he imagined.
A girl who asked her father for an expensive phone, how could she skillfully wash plates at a barbecue stall?
She could have saved up enough money herself in a few months.
"I used to be a lousy gambler, lost all our assets and was deeply in debt, even my child’s mother left.
"During my darkest ti, it was my daughter taking care of day in and day out.
"I was such a beast; she was only in seventh grade back then, made breakfast before school, and rushed back to tidy up the house after school.
"I was depressed, feeling life was aningless, she relied on collecting beverage bottles to pay rent, or we would have slept on the streets.
"Later, I erged from that dark life, finally paid off my debts by being a human punching bag, I’ll definitely give my daughter a good life in the future."
From a distance watching his daughter, Old Zhao’s eyes were a bit moist.
"Xiaosu, you can’t understand why I bought such an expensive phone.
"Just three months ago, a student in my daughter’s class lost their phone.
"My daughter happened to be the duty student, and without reason, she beca a suspect.
"I knew she couldn’t have stolen the phone, although I was a lousy gambler, we never had the habit of stealing.
"But the owner insisted my daughter was a thief; it stirred quite a commotion, even alerted the principal. Ultimately, it was a misunderstanding; the owner left it at the milk tea shop while eating, the shop owner found it and returned it to the school personally via video.
"My daughter’s suspicion was cleared, but she beca more self-conscious, more withdrawn than before.
"It breaks my heart, like being cut by a knife, I’m really nothing, it’s all my fault."
Old Zhao wiped his tears.
Su Yue felt uncomfortable too, he could understand Old Zhao’s daughter’s mindset.
During the ti his father was caught, he was extrely sensitive, thinking people were discussing him with a single whisper.
Even though he eventually sorted out these extre emotions, he still didn’t dare to recall those days.
If Wang Lu Feng had suspected him of stealing the phone, he might have done sothing drastic like sacrificing himself to clear his na.
When vulnerable, self-esteem can really drive people to collapse, make them go mad.
Strangers are easier, might dare to argue.
But the more familiar the people, the more one feels ashad and embarrassed.
"It’s all my fault.
"If I hadn’t gambled, if I had lived well, how could I not afford even a cell phone, even if she had a 500-yuan phone, she wouldn’t be suspected.
"In this era, every middle school student has a cell phone, but my daughter doesn’t, I’m really sinful.
"That day, my daughter wasn’t the only duty student.
"Just because of her father being a lousy gambler, they suspected my daughter, it’s all my responsibility.
"Now that my debts are paid, I finally have spare money, I can buy her the exact sa phone so she can go to school with dignity, without self-contempt.
"I realized too late."
Old Zhao’s tears fell on the plastic bag, Su Yue felt a pang of sadness too.
When you don’t understand soone, don’t make hasty conclusions based on one-sided words.
If he hadn’t run into Old Zhao, Su Yue would have thought his daughter was a vain girl.
But what was the result?
A self-reliant, smart, thoughtful girl almost got misunderstood by him.
"To correct a mistake is the least one can do.
"As the saying goes, out of ten gambling bets, nine are fraudulent, but my father said, ten bets are actually ten frauds, once on the gambling table, there’s no winner at all.
"Don’t gamble anymore."
Su Yue comforted Old Zhao with a word.
Although the family had been through disasters, everything was past now.
"For my daughter, I’ll never gamble again in my life."
Old Zhao suddenly wiped his tears.
It turned out his daughter had finished a batch of dishes and saw her father across the road.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Zhao Youzhi, full of surprise, ran over, tenderly touched the bandage on Old Zhao’s face but didn’t ask anything, maybe Old Zhao had explained before.
"This is my colleague, Xiaosu."
Old Zhao pointed at Su Yue.
"Hello, Uncle Xiaosu."
Zhao Youzhi nodded and smiled showing two dimples.
"No, I’m not much older than you."
Su Yue felt awkward.
Just because he was a bit tanned and his face was swollen, how did he beco an uncle?
You’re in 10th grade, I’m in 12th grade, the gap is only two years.
But I have to admit, Old Zhao’s daughter should look quite good.
"Sorry."
Zhao Youzhi shyly lowered her head.
"Girl, look, what dad bought you for your birthday."
Old Zhao suddenly took out a cell phone.
Zhao Youzhi held the new box, her face instantly going through dozens of expressions.
Confusion, surprise, amazent, joy, worry, and finally, a face of bla.
"Dad, this costs over ten thousand, how could you spend money recklessly, do you still have the receipt? Let’s return it."
Zhao Youzhi’s hands were trembling.
Su Yue could tell she was saying one thing but wanted another.
Maybe due to past mories, Zhao Youzhi really liked this phone.
Everyone is an ordinary person, who wouldn’t like beautiful things?
Her family was struggling, just sensible, knowing restraint, not naive to what was nice.
"Girl, dad won’t gamble anymore, our debt is cleared, dad will let you live a good life.
"What’s a Huawei phone, soday I’ll buy you Huawei’s company, haha."
Old Zhao touched Zhao Youzhi’s head.
"Dad, you’re boasting again."
Zhao Youzhi rolled her eyes at Old Zhao.
"Xiao Zhao, first eting, here’s a gift for you."
Su Yue took out a Qi Blood Pill from his pocket.
This was a Military Departnt special gift from Pan Yizheng, and he hadn’t many left.
"Xiaosu, this is..."
Old Zhao was startled.
He could recognize the Qi Blood Pill and knew its value.
"Let’s consider it fate, you’ll start Qi Blood training in 11th grade, maybe your girl can make it into a potential class!
"Isn’t it her birthday, a birthday present."
Su Yue smiled.
"You... I’ll send you money."
Old Zhao hurriedly said
"No... it’s a gift, don’t let my Qi Blood Pill go to waste."
Su Yue nodded.
Based on the first day he t Old Zhao, genuinely caring about him, putting together tuition without hesitation, this Qi Blood Pill could be gifted.
Let’s call it passing the fla.
What if because of this Qi Blood Pill, Zhao Youzhi could strive for excellence?
"Thank you, Brother Xiaosu."
Zhao Youzhi bowed 90 degrees repeatedly thanking.
