The male protagonist falls in love with me again

Chapter 154 The Zombie Male Lead is Very Clingy: Picked Up a Child

【Host, why didn't you write in advance? 】

[Just come over here, your brother won't even know you're here.]

Li Xiaoyao: "You're too slow in writing. I've already arrived, but the letter is still on its way."

"I know what my brother is studying. Why don't I just ask him directly? I'm afraid I won't be able to find him."

With that, Li Xiaoyao strode into the school.

Li Xiaoyao looked around curiously as he walked. This university has a unique architectural style that blends elements of Chinese and Western cultures.

The ancient teaching buildings are solemn and elegant, the campus is shaded by green trees and has a beautiful environment.

He walked along the gravel path to a magnificent library. Just as he was about to go in and inquire about his brother's whereabouts, he suddenly heard a deep voice behind him: "Li Xiaoyao?"

Li Xiaoyao turned his head and saw a tall young man standing there. The sunlight shone on him, reflecting his handsome face.

There was a hint of surprise and confusion in the man's eyes.

"Brother!" Li Xiaoyao ran over excitedly like a happy little bird and gave the man a warm hug.

Li Chengyi was petrified with shock. He stared blankly at the boy, then frowned and asked, "Why are you here? Do my parents know?"

Li Xiaoyao: "Of course they know."

Li Chengyi: "You're not going to school anymore?"

If he remembered correctly, his brother should be in his second year of high school.

Li Xiaoyao touched his nose, his eyes flickering, feeling a little guilty.

Not only did he not go to school, he dropped out.

His parents knew about this. Before coming here, he told them that he would not go to school anymore and that he was coming to Shanghai to do business.

But his brother didn't know that his brother always attached great importance to his studies. If he knew that he had dropped out of school, he might beat him up.

Seeing his brother's dodging gaze, Li Chengyi narrowed his eyes into a slit, as if he wanted to see through his brother, and asked, "Talk? What's going on?"

Li Xiaoyao quickly changed the subject and said in a sweet voice, "Oh, brother, I'm starving. Can you take me to eat first?"

Li Chengyi didn't want to starve his brother, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll take you to eat first."

Li Chengyi brought Li Xiaoyao to a restaurant and ordered some dishes.

Li Xiaoyao devoured the food, praising it as he ate, "Delicious, delicious!"

Li Chengyi couldn't help laughing when he saw his brother eating.

After the meal, Li Chengyi paid the bill and walked out of the restaurant with Li Xiaoyao.

He looked at Li Xiaoyao seriously and said, "Can you tell me now?"

Li Xiaoyao knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he lowered his head and whispered, "I dropped out of school... I want to come to the Magic City to try my luck and start some small business."

Li Chengyi's face turned ugly when he heard this. He scolded, "Nonsense! How old are you? If you don't study hard, what are you doing in business?"

Li Xiaoyao quickly explained, "Brother, I'm not acting on impulse. I've thought it through. My grades aren't good, and I don't have much interest in studying. I might as well start making money sooner."

Li Chengyi sighed and said, "You are inexperienced and don't know the dangers of society. How can doing business be that easy?"

"But I really don't want to study anymore, brother, just let me try." Li Xiaoyao begged.

Li Chengyi was silent for a moment, but he finally relented. "Since you've made up your mind, I won't stop you. But you have to remember, if you encounter any problems, you must tell me."

Li Xiaoyao nodded repeatedly: "I understand, brother."

"Then what kind of business do you plan to do?" Li Chengyi asked.

Li Xiaoyao scratched his head and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet, but I will carefully study the market."

Li Chengyi patted his brother's shoulder and said, "Well, you need to plan everything. Find a job first and gain some experience."

"Thank you, brother!" Li Xiaoyao smiled happily.

The two brothers talked as they walked, and Li Chengyi gave Li Xiaoyao some advice and guidance.

In order to concentrate on his studies, Li Chengyi resolutely chose to live on campus.

Li Xiaoyao obviously could not live with him, so Li Chengyi rented a comfortable apartment for Li Xiaoyao in the city.

The apartment has two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen. Li Xiaoyao was quite satisfied after seeing it.

After properly settling his younger brother, Li Chengyi returned to school to continue his studies with peace of mind.

Li Xiaoyao lay alone on the bed in the apartment, lost in deep thought about his future.

Li Xiaoyao knew that he was not capable of doing big business, but he thought that opening a small shop might be feasible.

Before coming to Shanghai, his family gave him 500 yuan as support. He spent a lot of money on the journey, and he had more than 400 yuan left, which was far from enough to open a store.

I have to say that the rent in Shanghai is really expensive. The apartment his brother rented for him costs thirty dollars a month, which is the monthly salary of an ordinary worker.

Moreover, opening a store requires obtaining documents and handling various relationships, which costs a lot.

After careful consideration, Li Xiaoyao finally decided to find a job first and open a store after he earned enough capital. Anmo Department Store was undoubtedly an excellent choice.

If he's lucky, maybe he'll meet the heroine, and then it will be much easier to match his brother and the heroine.

Li Xiaoyao came to the door of Anmo Department Store and saw that they were recruiting clerks, so he decided to give it a try.

He took a deep breath, walked into the store, and found the manager in charge of recruitment.

Li Xiaoyao smiled and gave a brief self-introduction to the manager, expressing her enthusiasm and desire for the job.

However, when the manager took a look at Li Xiaoyao's ID and found that he was only seventeen years old, his face immediately became serious.

"Sorry, we only recruit employees over 18 years old." The manager said coldly.

Li Xiaoyao felt a little disappointed, but still replied politely, "Oh, I see. Thank you, I see."

Li Xiaoyao sighed helplessly, then got up and left the department store.

Li Xiaoyao walked while thinking about what to do next.

If I can’t get into the department store, do I have to do manual labor?

No, if his brother knew, he would definitely make him go back to his hometown to continue his studies.

Without money to open a shop, maybe he could start by setting up a stall.

……

On the way back, Li Xiaoyao passed through a small alley when he suddenly heard a cry.

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a dirty little boy who looked only five or six years old squatting on the side of the road crying.

Li Xiaoyao walked up to the little boy and asked him what had happened.

He asked the child where his home was, and the child shook his head.

He asked the child where his parents were, but the child also shook his head.

He asked the child why he was here, but the child still shook his head.

Typical question and answer.

Li Xiaoyao saw that the child was wearing tattered clothes and felt really pitiful, so he decided to help him find his family. He took the little boy around in the alley to ask around.

I asked many neighbors, and they all said they didn't know the little boy.

Li Xiaoyao had no choice but to take him to the police station to report the case.

After taking note, the police told Li Xiaoyao that they would try their best to find the boy’s family and asked him to go back and wait for news.

Li Xiaoyao left an address and left the police station with the little boy.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Xiaoyao could only take the little boy back to the apartment and think of a solution tomorrow.
