Mia looked at Bai Wei. Although she was embarrassed, she could still vaguely see a pretty face.

She also saw the scars on the other party's body and the worn clothes, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed. She looked at Xu Mo beside her, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"As long as you can manage your meals, it doesn't matter if your salary is lower, it's enough to afford the rent." Bai Wei didn't see Xu Mo before. When she saw him, she guessed that the department store might not be short of people. She lowered her head slightly and her voice was a bit of pleading. She had already gone to several stores.

Seeing Bai Wei’s disappointed look, Mia couldn’t bear to refuse and asked softly: “What’s wrong with your injuries? Do you want to see a doctor?”

"No need, it's okay." Bai Wei lowered her head, said nothing more, and bowed slightly to Mia and said, "I'm disturbing."

As he said that, he turned around and wanted to leave, so he had to try it elsewhere. When he turned around and walked, he limped, as if he had injured his legs.

"Do you know how to cook?" Mia said a little unbearable.

Bai Wei turned around, her eyes were filled with a ray of light, and she nodded: "Yes."

"Then you stay, but what you need to do may be a bit complicated. I'll ask my father if you pay." Mia said with a smile.

"Thank you." Bai Wei said gratefully.

"Come in and sit down and talk." Mia got up and walked forward, stretched out her hand and said, "My name is Mia, where are you."

"Bai Wei."

When Xu Mo saw Mia helping Bai Wei walk in, he couldn't help but feel a little headache, not knowing whether it's good or bad.

"Xu Mo, this is his sister's youngest son, and they are all my friends." Mia introduced to Bai Wei.

"Hello." Bai Wei nodded to Xu Mo.

"Hello Miss Bai, I am also a hired worker here." Xu Mo said with a smile. Bai Wei felt familiar when she heard Xu Mo's voice, as if it was a bit like the "hunter" who saved him. However, the "hunter"'s voice was deeper and colder, while Xu Mo's voice still had a bit of a youthful aura.

Without thinking too much, Bai Wei naturally would not think that the fifteen-year-old Xu Mo would be the "hunter" who was at ease in the casino and fighting arena.

"Mia, why are you still recruiting people?" Master Batu walked upstairs, heard the voice Bai Wei stood up, and saw Master Batu looking at her.

"Dad." Mia walked up, hugged Master Batu's arm, and said with a smile: "Xu Mo and Xiaoer are here. I have to cook a lot of food and wash clothes by myself. Look how tired you are, Bai Wei can help me."

"My baby daughter, our small shop can't afford to support so many people." Mr. Batu lost his temper when he saw Mia acting cute.

"Dad..." Mia shook his arm, and Master Batu said helplessly: "Okay, but I can't pay much."

Bai Wei felt a little uncomfortable when she saw this scene, not because of her ‘salary’, but because she saw Master Batu and Mia thinking of her father.

"Master Batu, my youngest person and I have been troubled by you and Miss Mia here. I haven't done much, so I won't have to pay my salary in the future." Xu Mo said to Master Batu. Since Mia has promised to keep Bai Wei, he will try his best to withdraw and let Bai Wei treat him for more time, so that he can also practice breathing methods.

"No." Miadao.

"Since Xu Mo is so sensible, let him do less things in the future, she will share the burden." Batu said without hesitation.

"Yeah." Xu Mo nodded with the flow and looked at Bai Wei and said, "How hard will it take for Sister Bai Wei in the future."

"It's okay, I can do it all." Bai Wei is naturally willing to do more things so that she can be more stable.

Master Batu promised to give Bai Wei a 50-month federal currency and take care of the meals. Bai Wei also settled in the department store. After that, Mia personally applied medicine to Bai Wei to treat the wounds on her body.

…………

At night, after the artificial lights in the underground world went out, the department store also closed, and Xu Mo and his group had a meal on the roof.

"Sister Bai Wei, eat more." Mia stuffed a loaf of bread into Bai Wei's plate, and she learned about the other party's experience from Bai Wei.

"Thank you Miss Mia," Bai Wei said.

"Sister Bai Wei, you said that the person who saved you asked you to come to this area, would he be nearby and would he protect you?" Mia asked.

Bai Wei shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

Looking back on what happened today, she understood that the Hunter is different from the others in the black market. Will he look for herself again?

Xu Mo sat opposite him and hugged his youngest son and ate quietly.

"Sister Bai Wei, it happened that I was a little bored alone at night. Can you stay and be with me?" Mia looked at Bai Wei with a slight smile. Bai Wei was stunned for a moment, and the smile in Mia's eyes was very sincere.

"Hmm." Mr. Batu coughed and said, "Xu Mo, it is not safe for Bai Wei to leave alone. You can give it to him in the future?"

Xu Mo looked up at Master Batu, then nodded and responded: "Okay."

Bai Wei was a little flustered when she heard Mr. Batu’s words. She lowered her head slightly, finished eating the bread and said, “I’m full, so I’ll go back first.”

"Sister Bai Wei, I'll give it to you." Xu Mo also stood up.

"Yeah." Bai Wei stood up and said, "Master Batu, Miss Mia, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Mia stood up and said.

"Go to Sister Mia." Xu Mo took the youngest one down and handed it to Mia, and he took Bai Wei downstairs himself.

As soon as they left, they saw that Mia was a little aggrieved and said, "I'm full too."

"Are you angry?" Master Batu said to Mia.

"Dad, don't we have a room in our house? Can't Sister Bai Wei live here too?" Mia looked up at her father and said.

"Last time it was Xu Mo, this time it was her, what about next time?" Master Batu looked at Mia and said, "Mia, my father runs a department store."

Mia lowered her head slightly. She understood many things, but she still felt uncomfortable.

Master Batu glanced at his daughter, sighed secretly in his heart, then tore the bread into slices and fed it to the young man, and said, "Young man eat."

"Thank you, Mr. Batu." Yao'er laughed childishly.

"Be good." Mr. Batu squeezed Yao'er's face with his big hand, then got up and left, his fat body seemed a little staggering.

He could not protect so many people, he could only protect his daughter. No matter how pitiful the others were, they were still strangers to him.

What's more, that's just a side of Bai Wei. Compared to his understanding of Xu Mo, he is completely unfamiliar with Bai Wei and the others.

Xu Mo, downstairs, heard the conversation between the father and daughter, and he naturally understood Mr. Batu. He did not expect that Bai Wei would just come to the department store. Mr. Batu took risks in taking him and his youngest ones, and now he arranged a job for Bai Wei. As he said, he opened a department store... not a shelter!

Bai Wei’s rented place is not far away, and he is familiar with this area, so he asked Bai Wei to come to this area before.

I walked to the opposite side of the street and turned right, and turned around the alley a few times, then I came to the place where Bai Wei rented. The lights here were dim and there was garbage everywhere. I could even smell the stench of the sewer. The house had several floors and was relatively old, not much better than the place where he used to live.

"Xu Mo, I live on the third floor. Can you send me up?" The lights in the corridor were dim, and Bai Wei was a little scared alone.

"Okay." Xu Mo nodded and took the lead in front.

When he arrived at the third floor, Bai Wei opened the door and turned on the lights. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Xu Mo at the door and said, "Thank you Xu Mo, you are so brave, be careful on the way back."

Xu Mo felt a little weird when he heard the other party’s praise, but Bai Wei was several years older than him, so it was normal to treat herself as a fifteen-year-old boy.

If Bai Wei knew that the boy who gave her was a hunter, she would not know what she would think.

"Okay, Sister Bai Wei, see you tomorrow." Xu Mo waved with a smile.

"See you tomorrow." Bai Wei nodded, and when she saw Xu Mo turn around and go downstairs, she closed the door.

Xu Mo felt that Bai Wei had closed the door and moved another table to block the door of the room. Then he leaned against the table and sat on the ground, curled up there and started crying alone. She put her head on the knee without making her cry.

Xu Mo walked on the street and sighed secretly. He felt a little uncomfortable all the way. The underground world was far more depressing than he had imagined.

When he returned to the department store, he heard the sound of musical instruments coming from the rooftop and Mia's gentle singing.

When I walked to the roof, I saw Mia sitting on a chair playing. The instrument was a bit like the guitar in my previous life, but the sound quality was better. My young man sat obediently next to him, and it seemed that he could understand it.

The music and singing were both sad, like Mia's voice, which made Xu Mo doubt his understanding of Mia. He always thought Mia was kind, sunny and optimistic, but now it seems that he was wrong.

People who love to laugh may not be happy inside. Kind people may have a more fragile heart and they are more likely to be sentimental.

"Xu Mo, when did you come back?" Mia stopped when she noticed Xu Mo.

"Just when I came back, I was a little fascinated when I heard Miss Mia's singing." Xu Mo said.

"Is Sister Bai Wei okay?" Mia asked with some concern.

"It's pretty good. I took her into the room before leaving." Xu Mo said.

"Yeah." Mia nodded with confidence.

"Are Miss Mia unhappy?" Xu Mo asked while sitting down on the chair next to him.

"Xu Mo, what kind of world do you think this is?" Mia asked with some doubt, Xu Mo was speechless for a moment.

"No one cares about your affairs. Until now, the law enforcement team has not given any explanation. There is also the experience of Sister Bai Wei. They trade the 'people' at will, and they are their biological fathers. I know there are many such things in the underground world." Mia said a little uncomfortable, and there were tears in the corner of her eyes. Seeing that Xu Mo didn't say anything, she said again: "Xu Mo, I'm sorry."

She didn't want to mention Xu Mo's incident, but it was really uncomfortable to hold her back.

It turned out that she had always remembered Xu Mo's incident, but she didn't dare to mention it.

"It's okay." Xu Mo smiled and shook his head. Although this world has a dark side, there are also many lights, such as Mia, Master Batu, and Atai.

"Xu Mo, what will the world above look like?" Mia asked suddenly.

"I don't know either." Xu Mo shook his head.

"I saw the book about sunshine, grassland, mountains, and sea. What is that? Are these real existences?" Mia looked up at the top of her head, with a little longing.

"Maybe." Xu Mo didn't know, but he had experienced it before.

Mia smiled and said, "And who created those wonderful music. I really want to go to the world above to see it."

"It's certainly possible." Xu Mo sat next to Mia, hugging her youngest, and whispered: "I've heard a piece of music, but I can only hum it. Can Miss Mia play it with an instrument?"

"I'll try." Mia nodded despite feeling a little strange.
