"Okay," Lu Li agreed without hesitation. He didn't seem embarrassed at all about bringing the Ice Goddess to the slums.
Then, the two of them walked out one after the other, leaving the room in complete silence. After a few seconds, the room became lively again. However, looking at everyone's expressions, it was possible that they couldn't hold back their gossiping hearts.
Even though everyone usually teased them about the 'dog couple', not many people took it seriously after all.
No matter how real the game was, it was still a virtual world. The gaming circle was even more unreliable than the entertainment circle. No matter how many lovers there were, it couldn't change the fact that most of them ended up breaking up. Moreover, it involved the Ice Goddess that everyone thought could never be won over.
Water Fairy started playing the game as soon as she met the minimum age requirement.
At first, everyone thought she was pretty. There were very few female players in the game, and even fewer beautiful ones.
After that, she spent a lot of money in the game, and her background in the real world was vaguely revealed. Such a beautiful and rich female player would soon become a public figure. In addition to her cold temperament, she rarely acted like a little girl, so no one could steal the title of the Ice Goddess from her.
However, when she created Drizzle Court and supported super guilds like Peerless City, although everyone still thought she was a goddess, she lost some popularity, and her ranking on the Beauty Rankings was surpassed.
Because everyone felt that they weren't in the same world as her.
This high and mighty missy got off the maglev train with Lu Li and appeared at the edge of this backward city.
It was raining. Jiangnan had this kind of weather every time it came to this season. Literary people thought that Jiangnan was the real Jiangnan. The river was red at sunrise, and the river was as green as blue in spring.
But Lu Li was a wet blanket.
"It's raining again. I used to hate this kind of weather. I can't go out to work and make money." Lu Li led the way onto a narrow road full of potholes. Fortunately, it wasn't muddy. The cracks between the stone slabs were full of moss, which made Water Fairy feel very wild.
"I used to hate rainy days too. Mommy passed away on a rainy day." Water Fairy raised her head and felt the coolness of the fine rain.
"What about now?" When Lu Li heard her mention the past, he knew that she didn't hate him anymore.
"I don't hate it anymore. Now that I think about it, I feel like I'm with my mother on rainy days." Water Fairy did not seem to be in a bad mood. The cold war between her and her father had caused her stable life of more than ten years to collapse. However, she had received an elite education, and some things had been engraved into her bones. Weakness was only temporary. As long as she had a goal in her heart, she would not be depressed forever.
"Let's go. It's not good to get wet in the rain." Lu Li opened the umbrella and walked into the backwater with her.
Not far from this area, it was said that a bomb had been dropped on this area. Not only did it become a ruin, but it was also polluted for hundreds of years. Even after it was confirmed that the pollution had disappeared, no one wanted to live here anymore. The urban area gradually moved to the other side. Only the poor stayed, so it became a slum.
"If the river can be managed, the scenery should be quite good," Water Fairy commented as they approached Lu Li's former residence.
"Few people here care about the scenery. This area is slightly better. At least the security is good. I used to make a living here." Lu Li was obviously not shy about it.
"It must be very hard." Water Fairy could not imagine Lu Li making a living in this area.
So Lu Li told her about how he came out to make a living when he was seven or eight years old. Water Fairy was stunned, especially when she heard that Lu Li could beat a boy who was a few years older than him when he was only ten years old. She could not help but glance at Lu Li's slightly thin body suspiciously.
Lu Li wasn't short, but he didn't look sturdy.
At this time, a few young people walked toward them. These people did not have umbrellas on their heads, and they walked arrogantly. Their clothes were messy, and there were obvious tattoos on their necks and wrists. When they saw Water Fairy, their eyes suddenly lit up. How could there be such a beautiful girl in the slum? No, they had never seen such a beautiful girl in their lives.
But some people inadvertently glanced at the green leaves next to the flowers and saw the familiar face of the person holding the umbrella.
"Brother … Brother Li …"
All of a sudden, everyone turned their heads and stared at Lu Li. It was as if Water Fairy's charm had suddenly turned to zero or even negative.
"Oh," Lu Li wanted to say hello, but he could not remember what these people were called. Counting the time before his rebirth, he had left the slum for a long time, and had long forgotten these people who did not seem to have a deep impression of him.
The three young people were a little dumbfounded. If it was someone else who mingled in the underworld and pretended not to know them, they would probably immediately take out a knife.
Was there any more humiliating way than pretending not to know them?
But these young people were not angry at all. The red-haired one even looked apologetic. He thought he was smart and bowed his head, "Sorry, I got the wrong person. Brother Li, please help yourself. We have something to do, so we will leave first."
He thought that Lu Li was accompanying a beauty and wanted to pretend not to know them.
After saying that, the few of them fled for their lives.
"They …" Water Fairy was really amused. These guys should really go and act. They obviously called out Lu Li's name, but they pretended not to know him.
"Maybe we knew each other before, but I don't remember." Lu Li sighed in his heart. He had sacrificed too much to get to where he was today. Then he thought that if he did not always want to take his sister out of the slum in his previous life, could he have used another way to keep his sister alive?
In fact, he was too insistent on the principle of black and white. In the beginning, he always felt that he could do it, but later it was too late to turn back.
"I'm starting to believe that you are very good at fighting, so I can also walk around here with peace of mind. If anyone wants to bully me, I can have you." Water Fairy giggled. Unexpectedly, she also had a naughty side.
"As long as you don't mind this place being dirty, it's fine. My house is over there, but I don't know if it's occupied now." Lu Li moved the umbrella a little closer to Water Fairy so that her shoulders would not be wet from the rain.
Walking into the quiet alley, everything was still the same as Lu Li was familiar with.
"Oh, isn't this the boy from the Lu family?" An old man came out with a basin of dirty water and was about to pour it out when he happened to see Lu Li.
"Uncle Zhao, you're here." Lu Li nodded as a greeting.
"I just came back from the east alley, and I'm covered in mud." Uncle Zhao's eyes were a little blurred. After taking two steps forward, he saw that the person next to Lu Li was not Lu Xin. He said in surprise, "Didn't you leave with your sister? Who is this? Did you find a wife so soon?"
He was able to recognize Lu Li because they were very familiar with each other. After seeing Water Fairy clearly, he immediately felt that this girl was really too beautiful.
"Uncle Zhao, don't joke around. I'm just a friend, just a friend." Lu Li looked at Water Fairy and explained. Water Fairy only smiled lightly and did not seem to be angry.
"So it's not a wife. What a pity." Uncle Zhao turned around and poured the water in the basin into the sewer. He seemed to have thought of something and stopped Lu Li. "Boy from the Lu family, don't tell me you're coming back to live? Your house is occupied by a crippled old man and a ten-year-old boy."
Lu Li stopped and shook his head helplessly at Water Fairy. "I'm not coming back to live. Since it's occupied, then forget it. I'm just coming back to take a look."
It seemed that he could not take Water Fairy to visit his former home. When he and Lu Xin left, the door was not closed. In the slums, this meant that the house was ownerless. Whoever needed it could live in it first. A crippled old man and an underage child could finally have a place to live.
"The rain is getting heavier. Why don't you come in and sit for a bit?" Uncle Zhao said as he walked in. He didn't even ask Lu Li if he wanted to. Lu Li was already used to this and followed in. Water Fairy didn't hesitate; she was quite curious about what the people's homes were like.
Uncle Zhao's house was actually a little bigger than the place that Lu Li had lived in before, but it wasn't that big. There were two rooms, one inside and one outside. Because the cooking area was a small shed outside, the living area didn't look too dirty. It was just that there were a lot of random things that Uncle Zhao had picked up and tidied up to sell.
He took out two plastic stools for Lu Li and watched as Lu Li separated the stools and sat down.
The old man was very close to the Lu siblings. He usually took care of Lu Li and Lu Xin, but he was not very smart and had a strange temper.
They talked about Lu Li's recent situation. Lu Li said that he was doing well.
"Unfortunately, this is not your wife," Uncle Zhao expressed his regret again. He repeated, "She looks like a good match for you. They look like a couple."
Water Fairy was a little embarrassed. She was actually quite confused about why the old man thought that she and Lu Li were a good match. Even if Water Fairy was not a person who cared much, she knew how other people saw her and Lu Li as a couple, especially the female players in Drizzle Court.
One was extremely handsome, the other was too ordinary.
One was rich, the other was just starting out.
"Ahem, Uncle Zhao, didn't Ox God's family's Chongzi return? Have you seen him recently?" Lu Li hurriedly changed the topic. He did not want to talk about this for the time being, especially in this kind of situation.
"Yes, Chongzi came back and gave me money. He said he would repair my house for me. That kid is really promising. Looks like the kids of your generation are all promising." Uncle Zhao slapped his thigh and sighed. "Unfortunately, the older I get, the more I can't stay idle. Otherwise, I might be gone when I wake up."
"It should get better in the future." Lu Li grew up in the slums, but he did not like it here.
However, Chongzi and Xiao Hei's group could not bear to leave this place. After establishing a foothold in the game, they killed their way back. They had people, money, and a steady stream of income. A large area was included in their sphere of influence.
