Chapter 220 The Slums You Can't Escape (2)
Yanting couldn't stand the sight of the boy living in such a dirty and chaotic place.
So she started thinking of ways to make money.
However, it is indeed quite difficult to make money for a ghost.
She couldn't very well steal money from the bank and put it into Chen Xiao's account.
I'm afraid the police will come knocking on our door as soon as the theft at Yanting is over.
Thinking of this, the cat sighed.
However, she quickly came up with a way to make money.
That means accepting a mission.
There is a dark web in this world.
There is a bounty platform on the dark web.
As long as you are capable of taking on the task, you can earn a considerable reward.
The more dangerous the mission, the higher the reward.
It's very possible to earn millions in reward in one go.
Although the risks were great, it was the perfect opportunity for Yanting at this time.
So she went to a nearby internet cafe.
Taking advantage of the quiet of the night.
She secretly restarted the computer.
Start entering the URL.
She quickly entered the dark web.
To be honest, Yan Ting knew about the dark web because of Chen Xiao.
He once said that when he hadn't regained his memory, he earned his living through the dark web.
That's why Chen Xiao's codename is very famous on the dark web.
Because he never failed in any of his subsequent tasks.
100% completion rate.
However, he also had many enemies who wanted to kill him.
Some even offered a bounty on his life.
However, no hacker was able to find Chen Xiao's whereabouts.
Yanting couldn't help but smile softly as she recalled those past events.
She was unaware that after she left home, Chen Xiao, who should have been asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
He stared at the ceiling for a long time before asking, "Are you still there?"
However, this time no one gestured in his palm.
No ghost answered him.
"..."
Chen Xiao's expression was somewhat gloomy.
have they gone?
Sure enough, he knew the other party wouldn't be interested in him.
Chen Xiao never believed in kindness without a reason.
The other person must have other motives for approaching him.
Even if it were a ghost, he would suspect that the other party wanted to devour him.
Or perhaps they wanted to devour his soul.
But now that he's gone, he probably doesn't have the value she's looking for.
It's okay to leave.
At least Chen Xiao won't generate any useless hopes.
After accepting the mission, Yan Ting floated back into the house.
She went to Chen Xiao's bedroom.
Looking at Chen Xiao, who was fast asleep, she naturally lay down on the bed next to him and slept together.
The next morning.
Chen Xiao had a keen sense that something was amiss.
He felt as if something heavy was pressing down on him, making him feel quite burdened.
Chen Xiao stirred.
Then he clearly saw marks on the bed next to him indicating that someone had pressed down on it.
It's as if someone is lying next to him, fast asleep.
For a moment, Chen Xiao fell silent.
He thought the ghost had left, but it turned out to be back.
She even arrogantly climbed into his bed.
Chen Xiao, who was always a clean freak, should have been angry, but for some reason he breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Xiao didn't want to find out why the ghost had come back. He sat up and silently covered the other person with the blanket.
Based on the bulging outline of the blanket, it is quite obvious that there is a person's figure underneath.
Yanting slept very soundly.
The first thing she did after waking up was to look for Chen Xiao.
Then I saw an empty pillow.
After standing there for two seconds, Yan Ting floated out of the bedroom and came outside.
At that time, Chen Xiao was cooking.
There wasn't much food in the small kitchen at home, just some leftover vegetables like potatoes, eggplants, and tomatoes.
But seeing the boy cooking intently, Yanting, taking advantage of the fact that the other couldn't see her, floated up to him and stared intently at his profile.
Chen Xiao's profile resembled a piece of finely carved mutton fat jade.
It has a youthful innocence with a unique sense of adolescence unique to this period.
Chen Xiao, who was chopping vegetables, paused slightly.
He suddenly turned his head and asked, "Can you eat human food?"
Yan Ting was slightly startled.
Feeling guilty, she floated back a little.
Unexpectedly, Chen Xiao noticed that she was staring at him.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xiao asked patiently when the other party didn't answer for a long time.
After thinking about it, Yan Ting decided to write it down for Chen Xiao.
It wasn't that she didn't want to type on her phone, but rather that the other person's phone was an old-fashioned model.
Thinking of this, she felt a pang of heartache again.
Once she earns her commission, she'll definitely buy him a phone.
Upon seeing the writing on the paper, Chen Xiao's first thought wasn't what was written, but rather a faint smile that flickered in his eyes through the delicate handwriting.
It really does look like a girl.
Yanting wrote—
I don't know, but I can give it a try.
Chen Xiao made two bowls of tomato noodles.
For him, eating noodles is the most economical and cost-effective option.
However, because of Yanting's appearance, he still added an extra egg.
He usually eats plain noodles.
Yanting took a sip of the noodle soup, expecting not to taste anything, but to his surprise, his tongue tasted a fresh and sweet flavor.
Knowing that the other party could taste the flavor, Chen Xiao smiled slightly: "That's good."
At this moment, Yan Ting glanced at the boy's bowl, which contained only noodles and tomatoes. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and without thinking, she put the egg from her bowl into Chen Xiao's bowl.
Chen Xiao was somewhat taken aback.
"No need. This egg was boiled especially for you."
As he spoke, he put the egg back in his pocket.
Before he could even put the egg in the other boy's bowl, Yanting snatched it away and stuffed it into the boy's mouth.
Chen Xiao, caught off guard and given a huge mouthful of egg: ...
Now I have no choice but to eat it.
It's impossible for me to spit it out!
Yan Ting snorted coldly.
mock up.
Fight with me.
It's just an egg, what's there to argue about?
She was spoiled by her parents since childhood and had never missed out on any delicacy.
Glancing at the boy's thin frame, Yanting set a small goal in her heart.
That means raising Chen Xiao to be plump and healthy.
This time, Yanting plans to raise her Axiao all over again.
Chen Xiao gently chewed the egg in his mouth, a strange feeling flashing through his mind.
He wondered if the female ghost really wanted to get something from him.
He could give it to her.
As long as she speaks.
But the condition is that she stays by his side forever.
Yanting didn't know.
Chen Xiao cannot leave the slums.
To be precise, it means not being too far from the slums.
Once he wants to leave this place, he will experience various health problems.
The brain can also experience excruciating pain.
This is why Chen Xiao, despite having the ability to leave, has hesitated to do so.
He keenly sensed that an unseen, powerful energy was targeting him.
They were constantly on guard against him.
