Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

He Min walked out of the mall carrying shopping bags.

The school is on holiday today. Cao Yue has gone somewhere and Lou Xiao'e is busy opening a branch, so she can only come out shopping alone.

"Sister, please be kind. I haven't eaten for two days. Can you..."

He Min was just about to go to the parking lot to pick up his car when a pitiful voice sounded behind him.

She looked back and saw that the other person was looking at her. Their eyes met and the other person's voice stopped abruptly.

"You...you are Zhou Xingxing?" He Min had a good memory and recognized at a glance that the beggar in front of him was his former student.

"Teacher He, it's not me. You got the wrong person."

Zhou Xingxing lowered his head in shame, turned around and was about to run away.

But his movements were deliberately slow, and He Min quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Zhou Xingxing, why are you like this? Did something happen at home?"

Edinburgh is an aristocratic school and ordinary families simply cannot afford the high tuition fees.

Zhou Xingxing has fallen to the point of begging for food. Something must have happened in his family.

When He Min asked this, Zhou Xingxing could no longer hold back his grief and said, "Teacher, my whole family is dead, woo——!"

Zhou Xingxing put his right hand into his mouth and bit it tightly, trying hard not to cry out loud.

The sobbing sound makes people feel sad.

"Zhou Xingxing, don't be sad. There is a tea restaurant in front. The teacher will take you there to eat something first." He Min said with concern.

……

Zhou Xingxing was indeed hungry.

He stuffed the lotus seed paste bun into his mouth with his left hand and shoveled ham and egg rice into his mouth with his right hand from time to time.

After finishing two servings, he finished a plate of boiled chicken.

Finally, after drinking the lemon tea, I felt full.

"Teacher He, I have been hungry for two days, and you are the only one who is willing to help me."

He Min asked carefully: "Zhou Xingxing, your family..."

Zhou Xingxing sniffed and said, "My father and mother lost everything because of horse racing, and borrowed high-interest loans, and were forced to commit suicide. Now I have become a homeless vagrant. It's so miserable!"

He Min stopped asking questions after hearing this. Looking at Zhou Xingxing's condition, he sighed and said, "So what are your plans for the future?"

"I don't know." Zhou Xingxing shook his head, and then casually said, "But I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. At worst, I can join the underworld to make a living."

"Please do not."

When He Min heard that Zhou Xingxing was going to be a gangster, she immediately became anxious and said, "Okay, I'll find you a job first."

"Really? Thank you, Teacher He." Zhou Xingxing burst into tears of gratitude.

He knew that He Min was soft-hearted and would not watch him go astray.

……

He Min first lent Zhou Xingxing two hundred yuan and asked him to find a place to live first.

In the evening, He Min called Cao Yue home. After they had exercised together, He Min told him about Zhou Xingxing.

"Zhou Xingxing." Cao Yue narrowed his eyes.

This guy is here as an undercover agent!

"Ayue, he's so pitiful, can you find him a job?" He Min said, "He said he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Not long ago, you said you wanted to find me a bodyguard, otherwise..."

"No, I've already found a bodyguard."

Cao Yue hurriedly interrupted He Min.

He had watched the story of A Chinese Odyssey many times, so he would never let a wolf into the house.

He Min's eyes turned as she smiled and said, "You seem very scared. Are you worried that I'll run away with someone else?"

"Can you?" Cao Yue asked back with a snort.

"That's hard to say. If you don't keep a close eye on me, who knows!" He Min was very happy to see Cao Yue was concerned about her.

"Okay, I'll make time to spend more time with you in the future."

Cao Yue has indeed neglected He Min during this period.

……

The next day, Cao Yue met Zhou Xingxing.

"Zhou Xingxing, this is my boyfriend Cao Yue." He Min introduced.

Zhou Xingxing shrank his neck and looked at Cao Yue timidly, "Hello, Brother Cao."

Cao Yue said with a smile: "Zhou Xingxing, right? Amin told me last night that you should follow me from now on. I just happen to be in need of a bodyguard."

"By the way, how old are you?"

Zhou Xingxing replied: "Eighteen years old!"

"I'm an adult now, which is great."

Cao Yue took a deep look at Zhou Xingxing, who was pretending to be young, and was thinking in his mind how to maximize the value of his labor.

"Amin, I'm going back first. I'll come see you when I have time."

Cao Yue deliberately hugged He Min's graceful waist and gave her a deep kiss in front of Zhou Xingxing.

When Zhou Xingxing saw this scene, he clenched his fists and flames seemed to be coming out of his eyes.

A minute later, Cao Yue let go of the shy He Min and left with the new bodyguard.

……

Today Cao Yue is driving a second-hand BMW.

Because he bought several villas, one of the owners packed up three old cars and sold them to Cao Yue.

This BMW is 90% new.

"Xingxing, Amin has already told me about your situation. From now on you will be my bodyguard and I will give you a salary of 3,000 yuan per month." Cao Yue said to Zhou Xingxing who was driving.

"Three thousand yuan!!"

Zhou Xingxing's hands shaking as he held the steering wheel.

This is more than what he earns as a traffic policeman!

"There will be generous bonuses at the end of the year," Cao Yue added.

Zhou Xingxing's hatred for Cao Yue eased a little.

This pretty boy treats his employees pretty well.

Cao Yue continued, "But you are too young, and there are too many temptations in the outside world. In order to prevent you from learning bad things, I will give you 200 yuan a month for living expenses. I will save the rest of your salary for you, and I will give it to you with interest when you get married."

When Zhou Xingxing heard this, he had already greeted Cao Yue's ancestors for eighteen generations warmly.

Two hundred dollars!

Child laborers earn more than this!

Cao Yue asked with a smile: "Zhou Xingxing, do you have any objection?"

"No...no." Zhou Xingxing forced a smile on his face.

……

Cao Yue told Zhou Xingxing to drive the car to the villa where Lou Xiao'e lived.

"Mr. Cao." Li Jie glanced at Zhou Xingxing.

"Zhou Xingxing, this is Li Jie. He will be your supervisor from now on."

Cao Yue gave a brief introduction, left the two outside, and went into the villa.

"Brother Jie, hello, my name is Zhou Xingxing, please take care of me in the future."

Zhou Xingxing looked at the cold Li Jie and suddenly felt very pressured.

This is a master!

"Hello." Li Jie nodded, looked at Zhou Xingxing and asked, "Zhou Xingxing, what did you do before?"

Zhou Xingxing said: "Brother Jie, I am eighteen years old and I used to be a student."

Then, Zhou Xingxing recounted his tragic life story.

Li Jie's wife and daughter died tragically, and Zhou Xingxing's experience made the two of them empathize with each other.

"Zhou Xingxing, did you practice martial arts when you were a child?"

"Of course, my idol is Brother Long!"

As he spoke, Zhou Xingxing wiped his nose with his thumb, put his hands and feet in Bruce Lee's classic posture, and shouted strangely: "Ah Da~"

Li Jie looked at Zhou Xingxing's movements, his eyes suddenly fixed, he looked at him again with scrutiny, and suddenly said, "Let's have a competition."

……

Inside the villa, Lou Xiao'e and Cao Yue heard the sound of fighting and came out to check.

Li Jie's movements are clean and neat, and he surpasses Zhou Xingxing in speed, strength, and agility.

On the other hand, although Zhou Xingxing was agile and his moves integrated various fighting techniques such as Sanda and Judo, he was obviously no match for Li Jie and was beaten back step by step.

After Li Jie tested Zhou Xingxing's ability, he stopped and stepped aside.

Lou Xiao'e asked curiously, "This Zhou Xingxing looks so old, is he really eighteen years old?"

Cao Yue smiled and said, "He just looks anxious. Mingyuan and he are classmates."
