Soon, a table of dishes plus hot pot was served.

Ye Chen was not polite, he lowered his head and started eating.

Xia Yixin, who was opposite, held three hundred yuan in her pocket with her small hands, but did not move her chopsticks for a long time.

"Eat quickly, why are you so embarrassed to use chopsticks when you treat me?" Ye Chen handed a pair of chopsticks to Xia Yixin.

"I'm not very hungry." Xia Yixin's face turned red and she lowered her head, trying not to let Ye Chen see her embarrassment.

"Eat quickly, what are you waiting for? I can't finish eating." Ye Chen glared at her impatiently, and Xia Yixin was so frightened that she quickly took the chopsticks.

I ate it in small bites.

"What do you usually eat?" Ye Chen asked abruptly.

The scene just at the door made Ye Chen's heart feel like a knife piercing his heart.

My mind unconsciously recalled the days before I was imprisoned.

At that time, Ye Chen's grandfather was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis and needed a large amount of medical expenses and surgical expenses.

Ye Chen delivers takeout during the day and works as a waiter at a roadside barbecue restaurant at night, just to make enough money.

At that time, he couldn't bear to eat or drink. The owner of the barbecue restaurant was also a good person. Sometimes he would give him some skewers if there were too many, but most of the time, Ye Chen just ate a steamed bun with pickled mustard.

Ye Chen tried his best not to recall those poor days, but the moment he saw Xia Yixin's door.

His eyes instantly turned red.

"Just, just eat steamed buns..." Xia Yixin lowered her head and muttered softly.

"Aren't you afraid of getting sick from hunger? Going to the hospital will cost a lot of money. If you pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon, it's you." Ye Chen's tone was a bit scolding.

Xia Yixin shrank her neck in fright: "I, I know, I will eat well in the future."

"Let's eat first, I'm full." Ye Chen wiped his mouth, and there was still a lot of meat and vegetables left on the table.

Later, Xia Yixin didn't eat much, but asked the waiter to carefully bring over the packing bag, and started to pack up the remaining meat and vegetables.

"Let's clean up first." After Ye Chen said this, he stood up and went to the front desk to pay.

"I'll do it." Xia Yixin trotted over from her seat and quickly took out the crumpled and scattered change from her pocket.

"Brother Chen, you helped me a lot today. I can't let you treat me no matter what." Xia Yixin quickly stuffed the money into the front desk's hand and ran back to her seat to continue packing without waiting for Ye Chen to speak.

"Do you have too much money?"

Ye Chen appeared behind Xia Yixin, his voice filled with dissatisfaction.

Xia Yixin pursed her lips and explained: "No, Brother Chen, I'll just pretend I didn't go to work today."

Ye Chen was a little helpless, so he simply ignored him and went to the gate to smoke.

A few minutes later, Xia Yixin walked out with a red face carrying a shopping bag.

"Where do you live? I'll send you there." Ye Chen took a puff of cigarette and said.

"No, no, I go back alone every day." Xia Yixin refused in panic.

Ye Chen raised his hand to stop a taxi, turned around and said impatiently: "Stop talking so much nonsense, get in the car quickly."

"It's too late. If something happens to you when you go back, I will be jointly and severally responsible."

Xia Yixin shrank her neck, hugged her bag and lowered herself to sit in the back row.

The taxi made many twists and turns, and after forty minutes, we arrived at a place called Tianpeng Urban Village.

After getting out of the car, the smell of dampness mixed with the stench poured into my nose.

Trash can be seen everywhere, as well as various bugs flying in the air.

Ye Chen couldn't help but frown: "You live here? It's not convenient to go to work."

"I just took the bus and it's not far. I'm used to it."

"Brother Chen, I'll leave first." Xia Yixin replied softly.

"I've come all the way to send you here, why don't you invite me in for a cup of tea?" Ye Chen half-joked.

Xia Yixin blushed: "This is not good..."

After all, the house she lived in was too dilapidated. In the summer, the smell of garbage from outside would spread into the house.

"Just kidding, give me your phone."

Xia Yixin didn't dare to ask any more questions and handed a shabby mobile phone to Ye Chen.

Tens of seconds later, Ye Chen returned the phone to her.

"That's my phone number. If you need my help in the future, call me anytime. I'm not a rich person, but I don't care how many meals you have."

"Okay, thank you." Xia Yixin swallowed and said sheepishly.

Then Ye Chen handed her another box of medicine: "I just bought it, remember to apply it on your face. The little girl is quite pretty, otherwise it would be a shame."

Xia Yixin blushed and nodded.

"call!"

At this moment, a roar came and two beams of light instantly illuminated the two people.

Xia Yixin seemed to realize something and hid in a corner in a panic.

Three people jumped out of the car. The leader had a bald head and a strong back, carrying a briefcase under his arm and half a cigar dangling from his mouth.

"Little bitch, you can give me a good meal, where can you hide?" The bald head shouted angrily at Xia Yixin.

Xia Yixin was so frightened that she trembled all over, controlled her emotions, and replied timidly: "I, I didn't hide. I will pay you the money I owe you as soon as possible. Please give me a little more time, and I will definitely pay you every penny."

Yours."

"I'm not a charity. It's only natural to pay back debts."

"Brother, it's really not that I won't pay back, your interest rate is too high." Xia Yixin replied in a low voice.

The bald man snorted disdainfully and spit out thick phlegm, which was only a few centimeters away from Ye Chen's shoes.

This made Ye Chen frown.

"If you think the interest is high, don't borrow it? What have you been doing?"

"But you're not bad looking. How about this? If you stay with me tonight, I'll give you another three days of grace." The bald head's lewd eyes swept around Xia Yixin and licked his lips.

"Brother, I will return it to you." Xia Yixin replied timidly, looking at the bald and ferocious face.

Is it still possible if it falls into the hands of these people?

"Stop talking nonsense. By the way, it happens that my buddy has a KTV that is recruiting people. Seeing how pretty you are, come with me."

"I will take you there, and you will be able to pay off the debt within three months at most. If you are lucky and meet a rich man to take care of you, you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."

"Don't forget to thank me properly when the time comes. That's enough."

The bald man said with a smile.

Then he ignored Ye Chen and came to Xia Yixin, stretching out his hand to take her away by force.

At this moment, Ye Chen's hand suddenly appeared, held down the bald man's wrist, and pushed him out.

He said in a cold voice: "If you have something to say, I will use my hands and feet to relieve you."

The bald Ye Chen was filled with anger when he was suddenly interrupted. He immediately cursed: "Don't pretend to be a hero here, little brat, or I will deal with you too."

After saying that, the two boys behind him did not forget to wave the reflective switchblade in their hands in demonstration.
