Chapter 4: Unscrupulous Landlords
Li Mo nodded and went to the counter. Three minutes later, he came to Du Yuexi's table with strawberry milk tea.
"Your strawberry milk tea, heat it up, please use it slowly."
"Well, thank you." Du Yuexi picked up the straw and inserted it into the milk tea cup. She took a very reserved sip, then nodded and smiled: "Well, it tastes good."
Li Mo smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
Turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute." Du Yuexi called him.
Li Mo was startled, and when he turned around, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Do you need anything else?"
Du Yuexi looked around and shook her head with a smile, and said: "No need, I think there is no one here. Can you sit down and chat with me?"
"..."
Li Mo was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss, but in the end he nodded and sat opposite Du Yuexi. He glanced at Du Yuexi, who was as beautiful as a flower on a high mountain. Li Mo's cold heart felt a little restless when he saw Du Yuexi again.
Yue Xi took a sip of milk tea and then raised her head to look at herself with her beautiful face. Li Mo's face turned red and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
As if she noticed Li Mo's unnaturalness, Du Yuexi also remembered that this was the first time the two of them talked, a blush appeared on her pretty face, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
After a while, Du Yuexi secretly glanced at Li Mo, who was staring at the table without knowing what he was thinking. A hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and he deliberately found a topic and said: "It's so strange. Even after so many years, milk tea still comes with me.
It’s just as popular as before.”
Hearing this, Li Mo looked up at Du Yuexi, smiled and said without thinking: "Yes, the earth has been exploded not long ago, how come milk tea still exists?"
puff!
Hearing what Li Mo said, Du Yuexi couldn't help but spit out all the milk tea in her mouth with a 'pop' sound, raising her head and laughing like a flower branch trembling.
"The earth... exploded, hahahaha, it's so funny."
Du Yuexi's smile was like a white rose swaying in the wind. Li Mo had never seen a girl with such a beautiful smile. He couldn't help but be a little stunned. He took out the rag and held it in his hand.
After a while, he looked away slightly embarrassed, stood up and wiped the table silently.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lost my temper." Du Yuexi, who stopped laughing, said apologetically.
"No...nothing."
After the incident just now, the two of them relieved the awkward atmosphere and started talking. The two had different family backgrounds. Although the conversation was not very congenial, they were both young people, so they could talk well.
While the two were talking and laughing, a luxurious suspended car parked outside the window. The rear seat window was half opened, revealing the gloomy face of a handsome young man.
In front of him sat a respectful old butler.
The old housekeeper operated the holographic screen for a while and said: "Master, I have found out that the young man named Li Mo lives in a rented house in a civilian area. His mother died many years ago and his father is an interstellar wanderer. He has been five years old.
There are no roads in the year, and I also found out that the boy hasn’t paid his rent for a month.”
A sinister smile flashed across the face of the handsome young man, "Check who his landlord is. No matter what method you use, Li Mo must get out."
"now?"
The handsome young man nodded.
The old housekeeper said: "Yes, young master, I will do it immediately."
The handsome young man nodded with satisfaction, closed the window, and the luxury maglev car left.
At half past nine, another high-end black maglev car parked on the side of the road, facing where Li Mo and Du Yuexi were sitting.
Du Yuexi glanced out the window, stood up and said slightly apologetically: "Sorry, Li Mo, I have to go back. Let's chat another day when we have time."
Li Mo stood up and smiled: "It's okay. Let's talk about it when we have time. It's getting late."
Watching Du Yuexi leave the milk tea shop, and watching her get into the car and leave from the window, Li Mo suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, sat down on a chair and touched his heart that was beating very fast, his eyes were a little blurry.
It felt like having a beautiful dream.
Recalling the scene of Du Yuexi squirting out milk tea, the corners of Li Mo's mouth raised slightly.
Unexpectedly, Du Yuexi, who has always behaved as noble as a goddess, also has an unknown side.
After a while, Li Mo realized that the clerks were snickering at him. His face suddenly turned red and he smiled awkwardly. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to close the store, so he got up and tidied up the store with his colleagues.
Walking on the empty street, Li Mo couldn't help but recall the scene just now, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he looked forward to the next meeting, forgetting all about his previous preparations to change schools.
When he arrived at his residence and went up to the second floor and was about to open the door, he found that the key he had used for many years was not inserted into the keyhole. He blinked in shock.
It looked like the lock had been changed while I was away.
Li Mo already had some vague guesses.
Looking at the few luggage beside the aisle, Li Mo sighed secretly, squatted aside and opened the virtual bracelet. There was a message from the landlord: Little bastard! I won’t rent the house to you anymore. I owe you one month’s rent.
, I don’t want it anymore, pack your things quickly and get out of here!
Li Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was a little angry at the attitude of the landlord he had never met before.
If you don’t want to rent, you won’t rent. Why are you so cruel...
However, he was angry and there was nothing he could do.
After all, the house belongs to the landlord and he has this right.
There were not many salutes. Li Mo dug out a worn-out box from the box. After opening it, he hung a return rope pendant around his neck, dragged his suitcase, and went downstairs tiredly. Finally, he looked back at his life.
It was a place where I felt a little sad as I walked on the deserted streets.
Arriving at a hotel, Li Mo turned on his virtual bracelet and looked at his small balance. After calculating, he gritted his teeth and dragged his suitcase away. After walking for another half an hour, he finally came to the park and searched for his memory.
In the small bamboo forest that can provide shelter from the wind, I spread the quilt on the dry bamboo leaves, wrapped myself in the quilt and fell asleep.
This place used to be his secret base when he was a child.
As long as he is unhappy, he will hide here and look at his parents who are as anxious as an ant on a hot pot looking for his parents. He will smile secretly and forget about his previous worries.
At five o'clock in the morning, he opened his eyes and shivered with cold.
Obviously, coming here in winter was not a wise choice, but he had no choice but to save the remaining money to rent a house.
He has already experienced the hardships of being a human being.
Always plan for tomorrow.
If you don't plan ahead, you will be the only one who goes hungry.
Thinking of Gu Tao, Li Mo raised his hand and was about to dial Gu Tao's phone number, but he put his hand down again the next second. Gu Tao could indeed solve his temporary predicament, but he didn't want to come here. He already had a very low self-esteem.
I don't want to be inferior to myself in front of Gu Tao anymore.
After all, that's his only friend.
Finally at dawn, he felt dizzy, his head was very heavy, and he was confused. He saw an anxious, familiar and unfamiliar figure. When he saw that figure, he subconsciously shouted: "Dad...
..." He fell to the ground and fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes, everything around him felt strange, and...
Li Mo sat upright from the very narrow bed and looked around cautiously. If he saw correctly, this place should be on a dilapidated spaceship.
Li Mo suddenly remembered that some interstellar pirates would secretly stun homeless people from colonial satellites, and then transport them to planets with energy crystal mines to mine. If they were disobedient, they would be beaten severely and even be cut off until they died.
Remove the organs and sell them for money...
When Li Mo thought of this, he became very nervous and scared. He picked up an iron rod beside the bed and walked quietly in the short cabin. When he came to the wheelhouse, he unexpectedly found that there was no one there.
Then he looked elsewhere until he heard some movement in the simple kitchen, so he tiptoed over.
When he came to the door, he quietly stuck his head out and looked inside. He saw a slovenly middle-aged man whistling and cooking sticky food. Li Mo leaned his back against the wall, blushing fiercely and his heart beating fast.
Very quickly, he took a few deep breaths, held the iron rod tightly, closed his eyes, raised his heart, and after counting to three, rushed into the simple kitchen.
Just when he was about to give the sloppy middle-aged man a surprise blow, the middle-aged man heard the noise and turned to look at Li Mo.
When Li Mo saw the middle-aged man's face, he immediately stopped all movements of his body. He looked at the extremely familiar face in astonishment. The iron rod he held up was loosened and fell to the ground with a 'clang'.
.
The two looked at each other in shock.
After a while, Li Mo tilted his head and shouted in surprise: "Li Liuxing?"
