Chapter 14

Shen Liang returned to her old career. She took on a task at the "commune" during class. After class, she put on her schoolbag and hurried out of the school gate.

This time the employer is a single young man living alone in a wealthy area. He needs someone to help him clean his house.

Shen Liang knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door for her was a young man wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses on a chain.

Shen Liang froze for a moment.

She felt that the person in front of her had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The temperament is very similar to Ji Minghui.

The person who opened the door for Shen Liang did indeed change his appearance temporarily. At Shen Zhi's request, Ji Minghui stayed behind at the 00155189 star to accompany Shen Liang secretly.

After he and Zhang Xuzhi handed over the work at hand, they rushed to the 00155189 star overnight.

Ji Minghui was stunned for a moment when he saw that the person knocking on the door was Shen Liang.

He reacted first, pushed up his glasses, leaned over and smiled: "A sensitive and fragile cockroach?"

Shen Liang nodded: "It's me."

Ji Minghui ducked and let her enter the room: "How old are you? Are you still in the preparatory class of the military academy?"

Shen Liang stood at the door and put on shoe covers: "Is it important?"

Ji Minghui motioned to Shen Liang to put his schoolbag at the entrance: "It's very important. In the Boch Federation, it is illegal to employ child labor."

How dare he ask a child who looks like His Highness to clean his house...

Shen Liang: "If you don't sign a contract, it doesn't count as an employment relationship."

Ji Minghui said helplessly: "Yes, it really doesn't count. Can you help clean the living room today? The rooms here are relatively large. I'm afraid you won't be able to clean them all in one day."

Shen Liang: "Okay."

After Ji Minghui turned around and went upstairs to the study, Shen Liang took out his optical computer from his schoolbag and found the photo in the daily morning news.

Also wearing a suit and gold-rimmed glasses, Shen Liang felt that his employer this time was somewhat similar to Ji Minghui.

But they don't look the same.

She put away her computer and carefully cleaned the living room. Ji Minghui appeared quietly at the entrance.

"Kid, is your reward paid online or in cash?"

Shen Liang stretched out his hand: "Give cash."

Ji Minghui placed a kraft paper envelope on Shen Liang's palm.

It was getting late when Shen Liang left Ji Minghui's home.The moment the door closed behind him, Shen Liang quickly opened the envelope.

Five thousand federal currency.

Shen Liang was speechless.

This was the first time since she could remember that she had seen someone spend so generously.

It was so generous that she felt uneasy in her heart, wondering whether her labor was really worth the price.

The next day, Ji Minghui sent her a private message backstage at "Commune".

He asks her to clean the kitchen.

Ji Minghui leaned on the door frame and looked at her: "Which school are you studying in?"

Shen Liang made nonsense: "I don't want to study anymore. I was expelled three months ago."

Ji Minghui: "You are wearing school pants from a charity school."

Shen Liang, whose hands were covered in dust, looked down at his short pants, then raised his head to meet Ji Minghui's teasing gaze.

She said without changing her expression: "After I was expelled, I had no money to buy pants, so I had to wear school uniform pants all the time."

Ji Minghui's dark stone-colored eyes looked at her through thin lenses.

Then he turned and left.

Shen Liang was bored and pushing the smart floor washing machine to clean the kitchen that was as big as two of her classrooms, while trying to figure out the meaning of Ji Minghui's eyes.

Ji Minghui's "judgment" gaze made her feel uncomfortable.The reward was still given to her by Ji Minghui wrapped in an envelope.

"Take it and buy some decent clothes. Don't freeze when it's cold."

Seven thousand federal coins.

Shen Liang took the money and thought about it for a long time on the way back to school. She always felt that Ji Minghui was weird.

In her opinion, the source of his huge wealth was unknown, and his enthusiasm for people was like that evil trafficker who specialized in abducting children of her age who were ignorant of the world.

Therefore, she simply and crudely classified him as a bad person with "bad intentions".

Then she blocked Ji Minghui on the "Commune" platform and clicked the report button to report that he "may have violated federal laws."

On the third day, when Ji Minghui sent a private message to Shen Liang backstage at "Commune", a red exclamation point appeared next to the message he sent.

notification--

"Failed to send, the other party has blocked you."

Later, the "Commune" customer service sent him a private message——

"We have detected security risks in your account. Please bind your federal bank account or perform real-name authentication. Before doing so, we will freeze your account."

Ji Minghui frowned, turned on the optical brain, and began to write a periodic work report to be sent to Shen Zhi.

On the other side, Shen Liang was in the dormitory, huddled on the bed, pulling the bed curtains and happily counting the 1 federal coins he had received in two days.

Her roommate stood beside the bed and shook the bed curtain: "Shen Liang, Zhou Li is in the campus hospital. Do you want to go see her?"

Shen Liang carefully hid the banknotes under the mattress and opened the bed curtain to reveal only a face: "Is she sick?"

"Her mental body has awakened." The roommate said concisely. "She was unconscious and was taken to the campus hospital. She is not awake yet, but she keeps chanting your name."

Shen Liang grabbed a coat that someone left at the door and rushed out of the dormitory.

In the school doctor's office, Shen Liang found the only room with lights on. She opened the door and walked in.

Zhou Li was lying on the bed, with veins popping out on her temples and the back of her hands.Her limbs were tied tightly to the bed.

Shen Liang asked the school doctor: "How long has she been lying here?"

School doctor: "Zhou Li's condition is a bit strange. Most people don't feel pain when their mental bodies awaken. We just gave her analgesics, but it seems... useless."

At a certain moment, Shen Liang's face was frighteningly whiter than Zhou Li's face lying on the hospital bed.

"She doesn't look well."

School doctor: "Theoretically, we have monitored all the data on her body, and there should be no problem."

Shen Liang's expression softened a little: "How long will it take for her to wake up?"

The school doctor sighed: "It's hard to say, after all, her situation is rare in the entire federation, and this is the first time we have encountered it."

Shen Liang dragged a stool and sat beside Zhou Li's bed. She lay on the bedside table, dragged her chin, and tilted her head to observe Zhou Li's face.

Her mind was a jumble of thoughts.

Recently, some classmates have awakened their spiritual bodies one after another. Shen Liang thought that he had almost reached the age when he should awaken his spiritual body.

But she showed no sign of awakening her spiritual body.

Shen Liang was interrupted from his thoughts by Zhou Li's painful moan——

Zhou Li, who was lying on the hospital bed, began to twitch. Her fingertips scratched the sheets, and the white cotton and yellowing sheets were scratched with tears.

Shen Liang looked at Zhou Li's bleeding fingertips, hesitated, and reached out to hold Zhou Li's hand.

Zhou Li's nails scratched the back of Shen Liang's hand, and there were bloody marks on the back of her hand.

Shen Liang took a breath of cold air.

She regretted it and wanted to take her hand out, but Zhou Li held it tighter.

The school doctor handed her a bottle of nutrient solution with analgesics added to it. While Shen Liang was drinking the nutrient solution, she sprayed disinfectant on her scratched hand.

Shen Liang relied on caffeine and analgesics to survive the whole night.She witnessed with her own eyes a stream of black smoke pouring out from Zhou Li's eyebrows and condensing into shape in mid-air.

The school doctor was sure: "Her mental body has come out."
