EP 311. The Converged World Line

Not surprisingly, Skye did not accept Shi Xiaolei's kindness and rejected his offer to buy new clothes for herself.

"Okay, since you don't agree..." Shrugging, Shi Xiaolei changed the subject: "Is everything packed? Can we go?"

"Yeah." Skye nodded.

Perhaps because she felt that rejecting Shi Xiaolei's kindness would worsen his mood, Skye unconsciously touched the corner of her clothes, with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face.

"Then let's go."

"oh."

Followed Shi Xiaolei out of the store. After secretly glancing at his expression and confirming that nothing had changed, Skye felt relieved.

"Fasten your seat belt." After starting the engine, Shi Xiaolei did not forget to remind him while looking at the rearview mirror.

"oh."

Skye himself didn't feel that he was always jumping out word by word like this, and Shi Xiaolei also felt a little embarrassed.

Plus there were only two people in the car...

Wanting to ease the embarrassment, Shi Xiaolei had nothing to say and casually brought up a topic: "Um, Skye, are you still used to living in the store these past two days? Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with?"

"I slept very comfortably." Finally, it was no longer a word, and Skye replied seriously: "The room is very warm, and there is no air leakage. The bedding is very soft, and I can sleep until dawn. It's like living in a cardboard box, always waking up from the cold in the middle of the night. Also, there is food in the refrigerator, you just need to microwave it to eat... You don't have to dig through the trash or go to the bakery to beg. It feels great. Got it~!”

The little girl spoke very enthusiastically, with happiness in her eyes, but when these words fell in Shi Xiaolei's ears, he felt sad no matter how hard he heard them.

It's unbearable for a young child to have to endure such a heavy and difficult situation. Just looking at it from an adult's perspective. What makes Shi Xiaolei even more sad is that the memory he recalled because of Skye's words...

He was also an orphan, and Shi Xiaolei suffered a lot when he was a child.

“…….”

"That..." Seeing that Shi Xiaolei fell into silence and didn't speak for a while, Skye couldn't help but turn around and glance.

Looking at it, I found that something was wrong with the expression on Shi Xiaolei's face, and his eyes were red, as if there was sand in them. The little girl couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Locke, actually you don't have to be like this..."

Because of Skye's voice, he woke up from his memories.

"No, no, no." Wanting to cover up his gaffe, Shi Xiaolei forced out a smile in a panic: "Don't get me wrong, it's not because of you... I just recalled the past."

"Eh?"

"..." After a brief silence, Shi Xiaolei shrugged: "Okay, I admit it. In fact, I was just like you when I was a child. I was an orphan without a home."

"Eh?"

"But my situation should be a little better than yours. In China, the relationship between neighbors... emmm, how should I put it? Anyway, there are not so many petty taboos like Americans." After a pause, Shi Xiaolei laughed: "I was born in a small village. Although the villagers were very poor, they were very kind... After my parents passed away, they did not think of sending me to an orphanage, but left me in The village treats me as their own child.”

"Every time it's time to eat, someone will always come to my house, either asking me to eat at their house, or bringing me a meal. Seeing that my clothes are torn, kind-hearted neighbor aunts will always call me over Her family took the initiative to help me make up for it. There is also an uncle who lives in the village. Every year during the New Year, he always buys an extra piece when buying new clothes for his children and specially gives them to me. "

"Later, when I reached the age where I should go to school, the school gave me free tuition. Occasionally, if I needed some expenses, kind-hearted uncles and aunts would lend a hand to help... Well, speaking of it, it was me who failed to live up to my expectations and didn't grow up to be able to study. If I can get into college, I think the kind-hearted uncles and aunts in the village will be very happy when they know the news."

When talking about going to school, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the little girl: "Skye, about going to school... don't worry about that, I'm just asking. By the way, do you still plan to go to school?"

"...No." Skye shook her head gently.

Not sure whether it was to convince herself or simply to give Shi Xiaolei an acceptable reason, the little girl paused for a moment and then said quietly: "I don't like school."

Maybe it was because of her status as an orphan that she incurred some discrimination? Or do you think it costs money to go to school, so you gave up the idea? As someone who has experienced this, Shi Xiaolei had several guesses in his mind.

However, it was just a guess, and Shi Xiaolei had no intention of persuading Skye.

After all, the time of contact has not been long, and based on my familiarity with the little girl, I have neither the qualifications nor the status to tell her what to do.

"Okay then." Sighing in his heart, Shi Xiaolei just reminded: "It's okay if you don't go to school, but if you have time, you'd better learn more... You know, this world is too realistic and ordinary. It’s not easy for anyone to survive, let alone orphans like us who have no father or mother.”

If other children encounter difficulties that they cannot solve on their own, they can ask their parents for help. As an orphan, faced with the same predicament, the only one who can rely on himself is himself.

She is also a person who has suffered losses and hardships. She has a deep understanding of Shi Xiaolei's warning.

"Yeah." The little girl nodded, with a hint of maturity that didn't match her age: "I know."

"It's good to know. When you have time in the future, calm down, think about it, and set a goal for yourself." Shi Xiaolei nodded: "I will give you some help, but in the end, your future will be successful." In the end, it still depends on yourself."

He does not mean that.

Shi Xiaolei didn't know that it was what he said in the car today that planted a seed in Skye's heart.

Then, in order to gain more knowledge from the outside world and find a way out for herself, this girl thought of saving money to buy a computer.

Then, after getting the computer she had saved up to buy, and having a deeper understanding of its function, Skye thought of using the computer to search for information on the Internet and find out about her biological parents. Clues' plan.

In other words, the reason why Skye was able to teach himself and become the computer master in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."...

Although a large part of the motivation comes from 'looking for parents', but in the final analysis, the original cause is Shi Xiaolei's current words. \u003c/div\u003e
