Just as Jiang Li was about to beat her chest, there was a sound of footsteps in the stairwell. Looking up, she saw Li Mubai's familiar face that brought disaster to the country and the people.

Jiang Li laughed happily at that moment, not only revealing the dimples at the corners of her mouth, but also accidentally revealing a mouthful of bread crumbs.

"I saw your hand was injured, so I went to find you a hemostatic patch."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up and she almost burst into tears.

Ah! Li Mubai is so heartwarming!

I really judge others by my own standards! Shame on me! Shame on me!

After treating the hand injury, breakfast continued.

Jiang Li continued to eat heartily, but in comparison, Li Mubai was much more polite.

He slowly cut the French toast with a knife and fork, and then slowly put it into his mouth to chew it slowly. His every move was elegant and refined, noble and elegant, with the temperament of a nobleman from a scholarly family.

In comparison, Jiang Li felt ashamed of herself and thought she was too vulgar. In fact, she was not so rude when eating normally, it was just because she was too hungry today. Relying on her strong willpower, Jiang Li slowed down her eating speed.

Twenty minutes later, Li Mubai finally finished eating, and Jiang Li, through constant brainwashing and self-motivation, finally kept pace with Li Mubai and drank the last sip of milk tea in the cup!

Do you know how many times she had to convince herself not to pick up the cup and drink it all in one gulp? ? ! ! !

After eating and drinking, Jiang Li finally felt that Xiangjiang was not that scary, but rather a little bit cute.

Li Mubai took a tissue and wiped his mouth elegantly before asking, "Xiaoxian...Miss Jiang, do you have any plans later?"

Jiang Li quickly replied: "Do you know where there is a pawn shop nearby?"

"pawnshop?"

"Ok!"

Jiang Li wiped her mouth and shook the bracelet on her hand: "I am penniless now, I have to find a way to make money first."

Li Mubai: ...

The little fairy is quite honest.

"how much money do you need?"

Jiang Li fell into deep thought: "At least it can pay for renting a house, but I don't know how much the rent is here?"

To be honest, Jiang Li has no idea at all now. She knows nothing about the current situation and prices. She knows that land is very expensive in Hong Kong, but she doesn't know if the housing prices in Hong Kong are also so scary at this moment.

"Miss Jiang has no place to live?"

Jiang Li lowered her eyes, looking embarrassed: "Something unexpected happened. I just came to your place last night. I didn't bring anything with me, only a necklace and a bracelet. So I have to exchange the things I have with me for money, then find a house to stay, and then find a job..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Li felt inexplicably sad. She never expected that one day she would become a penniless person without even a legal identity.

Li Mubai looked at her in a daze. No house? No job? Why is the little fairy so miserable?

Li Mubai thought for a moment, then smiled again: "When you said that, I almost thought you came here illegally."

"what?!"

Jiang Li almost fell to the ground when she heard this. It turned out that Li Mubai thought she was a stowaway!

Jiang Li wanted to explain, but after thinking for a long time, there didn't seem to be any particularly reasonable explanation.

First, she did come from the mainland.

Second, she did not come through customs with a pass. Although she did not swim, she just closed her eyes and opened them again and came through.

Being treated as a stowaway is better than being treated as a psychopath. Time travel is definitely not something that can be told. Although there were a lot of time travel novels in Jiang Li's time, in Hong Kong in the 80s, people would probably be arrested and sliced ​​for research.

She was also speechless and helpless.

Jiang Li thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said, "Yes, I came here illegally!"

"But you won't report me, will you?!"

Li Mubai suppressed his laughter and said, "Not really. Smuggling is just smuggling. It's no big deal. It's not the first time I've seen this."

"You don't have to pawn the bracelet anymore. I will find a way to help you with a house and a job. This is my reward for protecting me all night!"

what!

"If you're full, let's go. I'll take you to find a place to stay."

what!

Jiang Li looked up in disbelief. It was unbelievable. Had her luck hit rock bottom and rebounded?

Oh my god! This Li Mubai... this Li Mubai must be a gift from God to her!

After leaving the restaurant, Li Mubai waved for a taxi, and Jiang Li followed him obediently into the car.

Although her parents taught her not to follow strangers casually, for Jiang Li at this moment, the more than five million people in Hong Kong are all strangers to her.

Li Mubai at least looked like a decent person, and judging from the attitude of the waiter in the tea restaurant towards him just now, he should be a well-known person, and he would not be a murderer or arsonist. Besides, after all, she helped him once, so she would not repay kindness with enmity. Thinking of this, Jiang Li felt that it was better to be taken in by someone than to sleep on the street like a headless fly, so she calmed down and prepared to hold on to the thigh of Li Mubai, a kind man.

Jiang Li thought that Li Mubai would take her to a random place in a village to live. After all, she had some knowledge of Hong Kong, a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. She had seen news about cage houses and four people living in a space of more than ten square meters.

But Li Mubai got off the car, walked around a few streets, and finally stopped at a two-story villa.

Jiang Li opened her mouth, feeling that something was wrong.

"Houses here are very expensive! I probably can't afford to rent one!"

Li Mubai took out the key and shook it: "I'll lend it to you. You don't have to pay rent!"

"Ah? Is this your home?"

"Yeah! It's our old house. I just moved in a while ago."

"what?!"

Jiang Li followed Li Mubai into the house and looked around. She found that the house was quite large, with many rooms, a large living room and kitchen, and a small patio at the entrance, which was bright and ventilated. The house was a bit old, but it was well maintained. The house had all the furniture it should have, but there were few daily necessities, and the kitchen was completely empty.

It seems that what Li Mubai said is true. If he had not moved in recently, he would have rarely lived here.

Li Mubai took Jiang Li for a walk, then opened the door of the guest room opposite his bedroom and asked her, "Is this room ok?"

There is a separate restroom, which is also close to him.

Jiang Li said gratefully, "Any one will do."

"I'm rarely at home, so many things are missing. Take a look and see what's missing. We'll go shopping together later."

An hour later, Jiang Li, who was shopping with Li Mubai, felt that the plot had become a little absurd.

She was homeless in the morning, but in the afternoon she had already gone shopping in the supermarket with the handsome guy and bought a bunch of household items, just like a young couple buying a new home.

After returning home, Li Mubai took a shower and changed his clothes. He took off his pure black suit and put on a set of refreshing casual clothes. At this time, he was pushing a shopping cart, looking more gentle and approachable.

"Have you bought everything? Is there anything missing?"

Hearing Li Mubai's reminder, Jiang Li lowered her head and checked the shopping cart. She found that the quilt, pillow, washbasin, towel, toothbrush, slippers, and pots and pans, oil, salt, sugar, vinegar, etc. needed in the kitchen were basically purchased. There should be nothing missing, so she nodded and replied, "All!"

Li Mubai looked Jiang Li up and down, and said thoughtfully: "I know what else is missing."

"what?"

Jiang Li swept the shopping cart again and found that there didn't seem to be anything missing. She even remembered to buy the rag. What else could she have missed?

But a smile flashed across Li Mubai's eyes, but he said nothing more.

When he arrived at the checkout counter and paid the bill, Li Mubai gave a little tip and asked the supermarket waiter to deliver the items directly to his home.

There were so many things bought today that he and Jiang Li alone couldn't carry them all back.

The two men left the supermarket empty-handed, but not far from the door, Li Mubai suddenly stopped.

Jiang Li almost bumped into him, and quickly stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Mubai pointed to several women's clothing stores next to the supermarket and said leisurely, "Maybe you need a few sets of clothes to change into."

Jiang Li then remembered that she really didn't have any change of clothes. If Li Mubai hadn't reminded her, she would have had to sleep in dirty clothes tonight.

but……

Before Jiang Li could hesitate, Li Mubai had already taken out his wallet and stuffed it into her hand: "I won't go in, go pick it yourself, and choose a few more sets to change into."

Jiang Li held Li Mubai's wallet, but felt that the wallet was like a hot potato: "This... is not good..."

"What's wrong with that? Do you want to wear my clothes?"

Uh... that seems even worse...

Jiang Li thought about it and decided that she already owed a favor, so she didn't mind owing one more. So she held the wallet tightly and said gratefully, "Then consider it as a loan from you. I'll pay you back when I earn a salary."

Li Mubai curled his lips and smiled: "These are all trivial matters! Then take your time to choose, I will go home and wait for you."

At first glance, these words sounded intimate and ambiguous, but Jiang Li was not shameless enough to think that Li Mubai was hinting at something, so she nodded readily and made an "OK" gesture.

Li Mubai turned to leave, but after taking two steps, he turned back and asked, "Do you know the way home?"

"Yes, turn right at the next intersection and walk 200 meters. You will see a vermilion gate."

Seeing that what she said was accurate, Li Mubai gave a relaxed smile, and this time he really turned around and left with peace of mind.

Li Mubai is really tall, and his legs are really long. His slow and unhurried steps are really elegant and beautiful.

Watching Li Mubai walking further and further away, Jiang Li thought to herself, this Li Mubai is really generous. He just gave her the entire wallet. If she ran away with the wallet, wouldn't he cry?

Jiang Li smiled, looked up at the women's clothing store behind her, and stepped into the door.

It felt like less than 20 minutes had passed. Li Mubai had just arrived home and made some tea when he heard a knock on the door.

Back so soon?

Li Mubai went to open the door, and sure enough, he saw Jiang Li's sparkling eyes and two dimples on her lips.

"So fast?"

Jiang Li shook the bag in her hand: "How long will it take to buy two sets of clothes?"

Jiang Li has always been quick to buy things. She will buy if she finds a piece of clothing that suits her taste, is the right size and is reasonably priced. She rarely hesitates and tries on too many items.

When she was buying clothes just now, she had considered that she was here to make a living, not to participate in the Miss Hong Kong pageant, so when choosing clothes she mainly looked for simple and generous styles. She also bought two pairs of jeans, which were versatile and durable. She also bought underwear, socks and shoes together. In total she bought a lot of things, so she bargained hard with the boss and saved 50 yuan.

Jiang Li handed the wallet back to Li Mubai as she walked in. "It cost 380 yuan. I'll pay you back when I find a job and get paid."

Li Mubai casually placed his wallet on the table and said gently, "We'll talk about the money later."

Li Mubai was such a generous and hospitable host. He not only lent his house to Jiang Li, bought her food and clothing, but also served her tea and water. Jiang Li was flattered and didn't know how to repay him.

Maybe it was finally her turn to be so rich and powerful?
