I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

Thanks to the help of the beautiful girl, Thesis was able to catch up in time and not lose the reward.

When he thought that the money problem was temporarily solved, he was extremely happy and wanted to thank the girl very much.

But their family was poor. Although they were not penniless, their beds and sofas were all made from garbage. It was not a good gift for such a beautiful girl.

When Tesis was in distress, his employer happened to give him a bag of flower seeds because of his outstanding performance in recent times.

This thing was of no use to Thesis. He had been thinking of exchanging it for money, but suddenly he remembered what his brother had said: beautiful flowers can easily please girls.

Moreover, sending flower seeds will not attract attention and is undoubtedly a very suitable thank-you gift.

He climbed over the haystack and returned the same way, coming back to the path behind the garbage dump. He saw the beautiful girl still standing by the window, staring outside with a dull look in her eyes.

Her eyes quickly caught the figure of Tethys, and her indifferent expression immediately became brighter: "How is it, did you catch up?"

"Yeah." Tethys brushed off the weeds on his body and nodded: "Thanks to your help, I wasn't late."

After saying this, he suddenly realized something: this girl seemed to know where he was going, and she even knew that Tesis was taking a shortcut because he was in a hurry to get to work.

It stands to reason that such a beautiful girl would be hard to forget even if you only saw her from a distance. What's more, she knew so much about Thesis's situation, which didn't sound like hearsay at all. What was going on?

Thesis didn't think much about it and asked directly: "Do you know a lot about me?"

"It's OK. I often see you here, so I can probably guess that you took a detour here just now because you were afraid of being late."

She didn't say much about this matter, but glanced behind Tethys with a playful look: "What is that thing in your hand? Can you show it to me?"

Being stared at by her angelic smile, Tethys stammered and held up the flower seeds in his hand: "This is a thank you gift for you."

The girl took it calmly, played with it for a while, and then sighed: "You were not deceived by your employer and used this to pay your salary, this thing is not worth anything."

"The reward is the same as usual. This is a gift from my employer," replied Tessis.

He knew that the gift from his employer must not be worth much, and he was afraid that the girl would not like it. Fortunately, she did not show any disgust.

"That's good." The girl smiled and asked shyly, "My name is Medusa, what's yours?"

"Thesis."

"I'm sorry, Thesis. Actually, I helped you just to make fun of you. There are many ways out. You don't have to climb over the haystack."

After exchanging names, Medusa sincerely apologized to him.

"Of course I know that." Tethys smiled: "I'm just naive, but not stupid."

"Won't you blame me?" Medusa lowered her head guiltily and looked at the flower seeds in her hand.

"Although it's unpleasant to be teased, you taught me how to avoid poisonous snakes and helped me find the way. It's nothing to have some bad intentions." Thesis chuckled.

Seeing that he didn't blame her, Medusa breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for the flower seeds, I like them very much."

After that, she seemed to muster up a lot of courage and asked earnestly: "You can go this way to work in the future. I will show you the way. It will save you a lot of time in the future. In the extra time, help me plant these in the backyard. In return, I will weave clothes for you. How about it?"

Thesis slapped his head and agreed immediately: "It's a very good deal."

"Then it's a deal. You go back first and pass by here tomorrow." Medusa said with a smile.

Thales was smart, but he had no time to study medicine. In addition, he was not clear-headed when he was sick. If he tried all kinds of medical treatment in a hurry, he might easily lose his life. So Thales went to find Doctor Bird's Beak to treat him.

After his condition improved, Thales felt very guilty: "I'm sorry, I spent all the money I earned with great difficulty."

"That's not a big deal. At least we have dinner for tomorrow."

Thesis said: "Brother, you may not know this, but I met a beautiful girl today, named Medusa. She showed me the shortcut and she also said that she would ask me for help every afternoon in the future and would pay me with clothes."

Taylors smiled meaningfully and said, "Pretty girl, about your age? Not bad, boy."

"Brother, your focus is too strange." Tethys couldn't help blushing: "I mean, we can save money on clothes in the future."

"Ahaha, the days will get better and better from now on." Thales laughed very loudly, but he almost fell over because he was not well yet.

The next day, Thesis went to work from the path in front of Medusa's window as agreed, and she also pointed out the safest and most convenient path.

Thanks to her help, Thesis greatly reduced the time required for travel.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder why this place was deserted and no one else passed by even though Medusa clearly knew how to avoid danger.

"I've met many guys with bad attitudes. They often take advantage of others and act ungratefully. So I seldom tell them anything. As soon as I open my mouth, I'm trying to trip them up." Medusa said with a smug smile.

"So, your helping me is a special case?"

"Well, you have a good personality, so it's okay to help out a little. Teasing you is just a subconscious reaction."

Medusa stuck out her tongue at him playfully: "I thought you wouldn't come again, and thought I couldn't apologize, luckily you didn't mind."

"Hehehe." Feeling praised, Thesis smiled particularly brightly: "Come to think of it, we haven't met before, how do you know me?"

Medusa pondered and said, "I can't explain it. Sometimes I can see scenes from other places. At first I thought it was an illusion, but later I found a way to verify it and found that it was indeed real."

"Oh, I understand." Thesis said that he understood: "I can sometimes manipulate sand and soil. Because of this, I don't like to take a bath and my brother dislikes me."

Medusa was curious: "Your brother? I don't usually see him with you?"

"My brother is in poor health and can only stay at home." Thesis explained, "But he is very smart. He modified all the things that can be used at home. On the contrary, I just work for others to earn some food."

Medusa was a little depressed after hearing this: "Does it mean that all smart people can only be locked up at home?"

"You can't get out either?" asked Tethys.

In his opinion, Medusa was indeed worthy of the word "intelligent" and her appearance was also outstanding.

Especially those eyes. Every time he looked at her and spoke, Tethys felt like his heart was about to be stolen.

"Yes, I inherited my intelligence from my mother. When I was a kid, I played with the kids in the neighborhood. Because I stood out and was a girl, I always attracted criticism."

Medusa was in a good mood after being praised by Thesis without hesitation. She was happy to talk about her own affairs: "Women should be stupid and obedient. They are stupid but blame me for being clever, so I teased them. Later, I was locked in the room to weave clothes and embroider, and I could only stare at the garbage dump every day."

“I think you’re quite likable.”

"You are joking?"

Medusa did not feel happy to receive such praise. Instead, she was skeptical and thought that he was just trying to please her.

Unexpectedly, Tessis shook his head and said seriously: "My brother is very smart and can do many things well. I like people who are smart and easy to get along with like him."

Medusa smiled helplessly.

She could see that Tesis had to go out and find work by himself at such a young age, and most likely he had no parents to take care of him.

Thanks to his smart and sensible brother, he did not go astray.

This made Medusa sigh, fortunately she had subconsciously helped Thesis at the beginning, because she had never received recognition from any man other than her father.

Thinking of this, she smiled slightly: "It's getting late, go to work."

"Yeah." Thesis nodded and left happily.

Watching his receding back, Medusa couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Thesis seemed to be more interesting than she had imagined.
