Su Jingyang didn't have much luggage, and after taking his own money and clothes, he left angrily.

Then... as soon as he returned to the streets he continued looking around for work along the street shops. After running around for hours, his skin was almost scorched by the sun, but he found nothing.

He was so tired that he found a herbal tea stall and ordered a pot of herbal tea and a steamed bun to eat. The more he ate, the more sad his expression became.

In fact, he wasn't afraid of what Liang Lu would do to him. He would feel very unwilling if he continued to stay, but he couldn't help but regret it, because he was technically an illegal immigrant. Apart from Liang Lu, no one else wanted to hire him at all. Even those who carried goods at the dock must show their identification badges. They had caught wind of the government's investigation becoming stricter, and that if you don't follow the regulations, you would be fined.

Su Jingyang lied, saying that he came from Rongcheng, but they still insisted on seeing his identification badge.

Su Jingyang was really going to lose it in this world!

Su Jingyang laid down on the table and took a nap, wondering if he was should continue to inquire about jobs. First, he needed to figure out a way to get a fake ID. Suddenly, he keenly felt that there was someone beside him, and a faint pleasing fragrance was caught by his nose.

Su Jingyang sat up suddenly; he opened his eyes and looked to his side, and found that the person besides him was Ling Li!

Su Jingyang's eyes were bright and he happily called his name, "Ling Li! It's you!"

Ling Li was stunned by his brilliant smile for a moment, but then he quickly smiled back at Su Jingyang, "So I was right, it really was you."

Ling Li held the folded clothes in his arms. He wanted to return Su Jingyang's clothes as agreed, but he took a look in the shop from the outside and found that Su Jingyang wasn't inside at all. He very disturbed at once, for fear that he was found out hiding him against the rain inside the shop and was sacked.

By coincidence, he found him in a tea stall on the side of the road.

Ling Li subconsciously glanced at the stall owner. The stall owner was an old man. He didn't know if he didn't know him or just didn't pay attention. He sat there peacefully making tea without driving him away.

Su Jingyang took him to sit down and poured him a cup of tea. Ling Li's body stiffened, and he finally sat down, "Jingyang, I'm here to return your clothes."

Su Jingyang took the clothes from him and sniffed at it: "It smells so good, it smells like you." Su Jingyang smiled and said to him: "By the way, how did you know that I was here?"

"I went to the shop and looked for you but didn't find you. I was on my way home at first, but then I saw you here." Ling Li clenched his hands tightly, his eyes were a little sad, and he whispered while staring at him: "Why aren't you in the shop anymore? Is it because of what happened with me yesterday..."

"How could that be?" Su Jingyang was afraid that he might misunderstand and quickly interrupted him, "The boss was too evil, I couldn't bear it so I quit. It has nothing to do with you."

Ling Li stared at him, and after a moment he lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and sighed silently, his expression full of guilt.

Su Jingyang knew that he definitely didn't believe him, so he told him the truth, "What I said is true. The boss did something to me. I beat him and ran out."
