Qiu Li put down the phone and his whole mind was empty.

The coworkers behind him urged him to send the cement to the building.

Qiu Li silently picked up the trolley and pushed bags of cement to the construction site.

Next, he worked very hard on the construction site, as if every muscle in his body had come alive and his temples began to jump up.

The workers who were resting beside them smiled kindly and said-

"College student, you know you are young and powerful, so be at least relaxed."

"Yes, if you put in such a hard work, you will soon be exhausted."

"Young people are so desperate? It's not for that little wage."

......

Qiu Li turned a deaf ear to their words. He needed the catharsis of strength to prevent his mind from thinking.

Once the brain is thinking randomly, the body will become disobedient.

The little girl probably just teased casually, but Qiu Li's heart was running at 800 yards all day long, and every cell in her body became active.

Apart from working harder, Qiu Li had no way to vent his feelings.

The construction site labor was over and it was already six o'clock in the evening. He received an additional salary increase today, totaling 800 yuan.

In today's era, physical labor earns no less than white-collar workers sitting in offices, especially hard work in harsh environments, where wages are paid very high because they are very hard.

This is why Qiu Li chose to work on the construction site after being rejected by a tutor.

Compared with part-time jobs like waiters who are low-paying and time-consuming, simple and crude physical labor on the construction site makes money faster.

He took a shower at the construction site, changed into a clean white shirt and black pants, put on the pair of AJ sneakers that Jiang Yu gave him, and cleaned up decently.

It looks like a tutor, not a worker who is exposed to wind and sun on the construction site.

Qiu Li walked out of the construction site and did not go home directly, so he went straight to the Global Century's business center.

In the well-known light luxury store on the first floor of the commercial center, he asked the salesperson to take out the music box that he had already liked.

The music box opened, and on the plane that looked like an ice sculpture, there was a ballet girl, tilting her slender neck, slightly bent her legs, and hugging her hands, like a swan spreading her wings, raising her neck to fly.

Half a month ago, Qiu Li fell in love with this music box immediately after seeing it.

The girl in the box looks like the girl he hides in his heart.

It was just a price of over five figures that discouraged him.

The part-time job of tutoring was repeatedly rejected. He made up his mind and went directly to the construction site. He worked day and night and lost his life. The salary he received in half a month was just enough to buy it.

The salesperson carefully packed the music box and handed it to Qiu Li.

Qiu Li walked out of the store with a heavy gift box. His originally heavy body seemed to have become more relaxed, and even his steps... were much lighter.

What a happy thing to give gifts to your beloved girl.

......

When Qiu Li returned home, there was something going on in the kitchen. The little girl was holding a spatula in her hand and stirring the dumplings in the pot.

She was wearing a cool summer T-shirt with light yellow daisy shorts, with slender waist, extra slender, symmetrical muscles and sporty legs, and was dragged by his large splint on her feet.

The white mist was lingering in the kitchen, like a princess left behind in the world, so clean and spotless.

As if he noticed the burning gaze of the man behind him, Jiang Yu turned around and looked at him: "It's back."

"Um."

She put down the spatula and turned around to hug him: "Thank you for your hard work, come here and let me hug you."

Qiu Li subconsciously took a step back and said, "It's better to take a shower first."

"Why do you take a shower as soon as you come back?"

“It’s too hot outside.”

Qiu Li hid in the bathroom like a fleeing. Even though he had already taken a shower at the construction site, he still felt dirty and unclean, so he dared not touch her.

When transporting cement, black mud was embedded in the fingernails, which were dirty.

He reached his hand in front of the faucet, rinsed it with heavy water, rubbed it desperately until he rubbed his hands red, and washed it hard by rinsing the nails...

Sniffing my body, there is only the smell of sweat, so disgusting, so dirty...

Qiu Li took off his clothes and threw them aside, turned on the shower head, rinsed himself frantically, squeezed a lot of shower gel and applied it to himself.

He didn't notice it himself, and before he knew it... the condition worsened a lot.

Jiang Yu kept standing by the door, listening to the sound of water rushing in the bathroom.

When she thought of him on the dusty construction site, the temperature was 40 degrees Celsius and the scorching sun was exposed, and she was doing the heaviest physical work, she felt sad, very sad.

It is really difficult to have no strength when you are young and rely on yourself.

Even if it is a seedling, someone needs to take care of it and irrigate it.

Jiang Yu knew that he could not continue like this. In this world, he was not alone. Even if his father was imprisoned, he still had his mother.

Whether in legal responsibility or morality, his mother must assume her own obligations.

Even though he is an adult now, he doesn't need compensation for his care for so many years in the past?

Suddenly, Qiu Li's voice came from inside the door: "Xiaoyu."

"ah?"

"Why are you standing at the door?"

The bathroom door is made of matte material, and the blurred figure she stood by the door could see clearly inside.

"I..."

Jiang Yu couldn't find anything for a moment and said, "I'll just stand there."

Qiu Li closed the shower head and put it on his body with a bath towel: "Are you peeking at me?"

“…”

He walked out of the bathroom with warm mist and changed into a clean off-white pure cotton home shirt. He repeatedly made sure that he had no smell on his body, so he dared to get close to her.

"How many do you see?"

Jiang Yu blushed and defended: "I didn't watch it, who can watch you take a shower!"

"Then what are you doing when you stand at the door?"

"I'll just... listen."

"There is a fundamental difference between eavesdropping and peeking?"

Jiang Yu couldn't argue, so he couldn't say anything. He went back to the kitchen and brought two bowls of dumplings and placed them on the dining table.

Qiu Li knew that the little girl was thin-skinned, so he smiled and stopped teasing her. He sat down and picked up the chopsticks to eat dumplings.

"etc."

Jiang Yu quickly brought out the chiffon cake that he had packed at Bu Xi’s house from the refrigerator and handed it to Qiu Li: “Try it, this cake is very delicious, I took it from a friend’s house.”

"Friend's house?"

"Well, I'll go to her house as a guest."

"My friend invites you to have snacks, don't bring them to me." Qiu Li said seriously: "Others can joke, but they still take them after eating."

"I won't be so sincere."

"We will buy it ourselves in the future."

Jiang Yu knew that he was thinking about himself, so he didn't argue and nodded obediently: "Okay, then you can eat this piece first, let's not take the example."

Qiu Li tore a small piece with his hands and tasted it.

Jiang Yu sat beside him and looked at him expectantly: "How is it, isn't it delicious?"

"It doesn't taste, you eat it first." Qiu Li pushed the cake in front of her.

Jiang Yu frowned and said, "I have eaten it before, just this one, I have eaten it."

"I didn't see it, it doesn't count."

“…”

Jiang Yu knew that Qiu Li was a psychological disorder and had nothing to do with her or not. He could not pass his own level and was unaware of the world.

She sighed, tore a piece of cake and put it in her mouth.

Qiu Li finished the remaining half of the cake and ate another big bowl of dumplings. The food was very delicious and looked very hungry.

Why are you not hungry? At noon, I hurriedly took a few unflavored lunch boxes in order to rush to work, and I didn't stop all afternoon.

Jiang Yu also picked up the dumplings in his bowl.

"The one in your bowl is better." Qiu Li commented.
