Chapter 9 Heroic Hero Li

Tongzi did not expect that Li You would agree so readily! She did not even use a single line she had prepared for the entire day! She held back her words.

"Are you really willing to help?"

Tongzi began to doubt life.

"Of course! I don't have anything to do anyway. Just treat it as a hobby!"

When Li You said this, he was very heroic! That was because Li You heard that doing this kind of shady business was for someone else! His mood was like a red sun suddenly popping out from the horizon in the dark of the night, instantly illuminating the entire world! And that was not all! The earth should be full of happy flowers to show his current mood! How could he not be forthright! Li You was so happy that he almost said, "If you are polite, I will be angry!"

"Alright then! Thank you! I'll treat you to a good meal when I'm paid!"

Tongzi said and patted Li You's arm happily.

Li You's thoughts were in a mess. He needed to calm down and digest Tongzi's enthusiasm for him today! Happiness came too suddenly.

"Then that's it. I'm going back to sleep! Then you... you should go back to sleep too! That... the one named Cai... I will dig up his ancestral tomb! Ah,no, I will investigate the eight generations of his ancestors clearly... I will wash it clean for you to see... Ah, no, I will write it clearly for you to see..."

Tongzi opened her mouth wide and looked at this incoherent guy! He just mentioned he would dig someone else's ancestral tomb! Tongzi suddenly regretted asking for his help. This guy was not very reliable.

After explaining the matter a few more times, Li You left in a hurry. Tongzi looked at Li You's disappearing figure and could guess something.

"I hope I guessed wrong! Li You, you must not like people like me! I am just a burden!"

As she spoke, Tongzi's tears unconsciously fell.

Li You returned to the dormitory. He shook off his shoes, climbed onto the bed, laid on the bed, and placed the apple that Tongzi had given him on the pillow. Then, he gently sniffed the fragrance of Tongzi on the apple! Li You closed his eyes and gently held the apple in his arms. He recalled the sweet time between Tongzi and him that night...

"So happy!"

Li You groaned.

Li You could no longer remember. He could no longer remember the year that the last time a girl took the initiative to be good to him and gave him things! At that time, Li You was a little fatty when he was a child. His eyes were not big and he was fat. His eyes were narrowed together every day. His father had been doing business outside for a long time, so he couldn't stay at home for many days in a year. His mother was a surgeon who had endless patients every day. Only grandma accompanied him every day...

Li You flipped over and opened his eyes to look at the apple in his arms. When he was a child, Li You also loved to eat apples! This kind of red fruit had never been unavailable at home. Li You often brought one to school.

At that time, children couldn't eat apples every day! This kind of behavior of Li You attracted the attention of the school's delinquent youth. Li You was beaten up! He was even blackmailed. He did not dare to tell the teacher. When he returned home, only his grandma was at home, and his grandma's legs were not good! Every day, she would wash his clothes, buy vegetables, cook and take care of Li You with a limp. He could not bear to let his grandma know that he had been bullied by others. What should he do? Li You was ready to make peace, so he secretly took the money from his family! The next day, he gave the money to the delinquent youth who blackmailed him. But in just a few days, the teenager who blackmailed him bullied him again and wanted to ask him for money again! Li You exploded! One of the three teenagers who extorted him was smashed in the head by him with half a brick, and the other two were also injured! As for himself, he was also covered in injuries.

Later, no one dared to provoke this little fatty, Li You! He also felt that it was good to bully others! He started to fight and play truant. Although he had made many friends because his character was relatively simple, it was always him who suffered a loss later on! When it came to group fights, he always ran faster than others! He was always the first one to be beaten although he was already very slow. But he still ran first! Every time he was punished by the school, he was punished the most severely. He was heroic! Not only did he not defend himself, but he also took full responsibility...

The first thing Li You's father did every time he came back was to beat him up.

When his mother saw that Li You was beaten up by his father, she quarreled with his father. They accused each other of not educating Li You well! There were many times they wanted to divorce. What left a deep impression on Li You was the year when Li You was in the second grade of junior high school. It was New Year's Eve, and the family was supposed to be at a family reunion. They were chatting and later they chatted and talked about Li You's education, and then they began to argue and blame! In the end, his mother packed up a few clothes and was so angry that she wanted to go back to the hospital to stay! He still remembered the day when he was in the heavy snow, wearing his pajamas and slippers, chasing his mother back on the street that was filled with firecrackers...

Li You flipped over again and laid flat on the bed. Perhaps this was the only way that tears would not fall! Li You placed the apple next to his pillow. His eyes were empty and lifeless.

"Uncle!"

Li You thought of his uncle again. The two years driving the car with his uncle were the happiest times.

That night, when Li You went to chase his mother back, his grandma was so angry that she had cerebral thrombosis. She laid at home for two years and finally passed away. His father didn't go out when grandma was lying on the bed and couldn't move. He opened a small furniture store at the door of the house to sell furniture. Li You also dropped out and learned from his uncle to drive the car for the experience! Two years later, Li You ran to the north and south of the motherland and experienced the local customs and practices! Li You was thin, black, tall, and strong! But... his grandma was gone...

When Li You thought of his grandma who was indirectly killed by him, his heart felt like it had been cut by a knife! He had never experienced the love of his father... and he could not remember what his mother's warm and sweet embrace felt like... He only remembered his grandma on whom he epended on... and his father and mother who only came back occasionally...

Grandma left... Li You didn't even see her one last time...

"Well! Grandma is not dead. She just went far away! Maybe she will come back one day!"

Tears began to fall from the corners of Li You's eyes

Li You slept soundly. He dreamed of his uncle. He dreamed of the company commander when he was a soldier. He also dreamed of his comrades! And... a girl holding an apple with both hands and smiling as she walked towards him...

"Li Tong!"

A blissful smile hung on Li You's lips.
