Speaking of the child, Ling Li was taken aback, and Su Jingyang took this opportunity to pull him inside, "This kind of showers come and go quickly. It won't take too long, don't worry."

As soon as Ling Li walked, a puddle of water appeared on the ground. He hurriedly stopped in his steps, "I'm going to get your place dirty." It was rare for Ling Li to encounter someone who knew his affairs and was so kind to him, so he turned cautious.

"It's alright, I'll wipe it with a rag later." Su Jingyang turned his head and smiled brightly.

Su Jingyang was indeed not afraid of being scolded for being too close to Ling Li, but this was Liang Lu's shop. Thinking about the people in this town, Su Jingyang really couldn't bring himself to depend on their kindness. Seeing that Ling Li was still a little uneasy, Su Jingyang lead Ling Li to the cubicle where he slept at night. He folded all the mats laid on the floor and put them aside, and took a dry towel to wipe his hair. He then took out his only second set of dry clothes and let Ling Li put them on first. The two of them were similar in shape, Ling Li was even thinner, the clothes would definitely fit on him.

Ling Li was very grateful for being able to come in to hide from the rain, but he really didn’t want to bother him. But seeing Su Jingyang’s eyes full of sincerity, Ling Li pursed his lips, finally took the clothes, and changed in the cubicle. After he held the child tightly in his arms, looking at the child's face, his originally tensed body was completely relaxed.

Su Jingyang moved a chair for him to sit down, and pulled the curtain of the cubicle a bit so that the outside could be seen from the inside in the best of both worlds.

He poked his head out of the gap and left to look at Ling Li, he smiled and whispered to him, "Please feel at ease."

Ling Li watched him steadily, his light brown eyes vaguely flashed with light, and he talked to Su Jingyang in a way that was no longer as alienated as the first time they met, there was softness and determination in the hidden in his trembling figure. He said sincerely, "Thank you so much, I'll definitely repay you in the future… i-if you don't dislike it."

Su Jingyang got closer and the more he looked at him, the more that he saw that he was a completely different person from the rumors, he said cheerfully: "Alright, in this world, you help me and I help you. If I have anything to ask in the future, I'll definitely not be polite."

Ling Li's wet hair was draped over his shoulders, and his brows became more and more soft, but there was no trace of blood on his face, which made him look a little sick. Ling Li listened to his words and showed a light smile to Su Jingyang. There was finally some color on his features.

Su Jingyang scratched his head and smiled with embarrassment. Ling Li stared at him and waited for a while before he saying his name softly. Su Jingyang hurriedly introduced himself, "Su Jingyang, 'Jing' of scenery, 'Yang' of the sun.¹ You can call me just Jingyang from now on."

Lingli haven't had such a peaceful conversation with another person for a long time, he held the child in his arms even more tightly, and there was a subtle ripple in his gaze, he said warmly: "Alright, Jingyang."

Su Jingyang let him rest there, he pulled the curtain down and prepared to go to the counter to continue guarding the shop.

Just after taking two steps, the small colorful blobs suddenly appeared again, this time it was more turbulent than before! While Su Jingyang was dumbfounded, it directly drilled into his body!

Su Jingyang immediately turned his head to look at the direction of the compartment. It seemed that this was Ling Li's sincere gratitude towards him, there was so much energy!
