Fatty Wang said that the easy work was actually not easy for most people. They would often have to carry several tens of kilograms worth of heavy objects up and down.
However, it was a piece of cake for Deng Fan.
It wasn't hard work, but it made him sweat in the heat, forcing him to take off his jacket.
On Deng Fan's body, there were countless wounds. There were knife wounds, there were gun wounds, and every wound had a story. However, not many people knew about it, and now even he himself did not know.
One of the workers who saw Deng Fan's naked upper body could not help but ask in shock, "Brother, were you a gangster before? Why are there so many injuries on your body? "
"I don't remember." Deng Fan said.
"Don't remember?" "What does that mean?"
"If you don't remember, then that means you don't remember." Deng Fan didn't want to reveal his amnesia and quickly changed the topic: "Hurry up and get back to work. If the supervisor sees us slacking off, I think we'll lose some of our salary." With that, he ignored the worker and continued with his work.
The time to concentrate on his work always passed by extremely quickly. Unknowingly, it was already close to noon.
Deng Fan suddenly realized that he had forgotten to cook for Du Xue!
He didn't even buy any dishes!
"What should I do?" Deng Fan couldn't help but become anxious, "If she were to go back after work now, he wouldn't even be able to enter the room, right?" Thinking of this, he immediately rushed out of the construction site, without even greeting the supervisor, directly rushing back to Du Xue's home.
Coincidentally, Deng Fan had just returned to the apartment building, and Du Xue had just arrived, so the two of them almost met each other.
"Big Brother Du?" Du Xue was the first to speak as she looked at Deng Fan with an astonished expression: "Where were you just gone? Why are you sweating all over?"
"I just got a job at a construction site nearby …"
"That's good!" Du Xue seemed to be very happy, "I didn't expect you to find a job so quickly."
"But I forgot to cook for you." Deng Fan said apologetically.
Du Xue only laughed when she heard, and said: "It's alright, I can also eat outside. Now that you've found a job, you don't have to cook for me. "
"But …"
"Don't 'but', have you eaten yet?" Du Xue asked.
"Not yet. I just came back." Deng Fan said.
"Then hurry back, I'll go home to cook tonight."
Deng Fan had no other choice but to nod his head and agree. He then took out his wallet and key and gave them to Du Xue, "You should be home before me, right? You should still take the key! "
"Alright, I'll go and get another one tonight." Du Xue did not object, and accepted the purse and key.
"I'm going back to the construction site. It would be bad if the supervisor finds out that I sneaked out." Deng Fan said.
"En, remember to come back for dinner tonight. I'll be waiting for you." Du Xue nodded and said.
"Of course!" Deng Fan nodded resolutely, and gave Du Xue another deep look. After that, he turned and trotted away.
In the evening, when it was almost time to get off work, there was a sudden power outage, causing many of the machines on the construction site to be unable to operate. Many of the work had to be done by human means.
"You can just move this car upstairs and stop working!" Supervising the workers, Supervisor Wang pointed at the cement on the truck.
There were at least 100 bags of cement on the carriage, and each bag weighed about 100 pounds. If he were to use human resources to carry them all up, it would undoubtedly require a great deal of work.
In order to get back to work quickly, Deng Fan went back to eat with Du Xue, so he said to the fellow on the carriage: "Lad, put a few more bags, I can hold on."
"Again? You've already carried three bags. " The worker on the carriage looked at Deng Fan in shock, because he had never seen anyone who could carry more than three bags of cement up the stairs at one go.
"It's fine. Put two more bags in!" Deng Fan said with a relaxed expression.
"Are you sure you can do it!?" The shop assistant was skeptical, "There will be lives."
"Don't talk so much nonsense. Do you want to stop work as soon as possible?" Deng Fan urged impatiently.
"Alright!" As expected, he added two more bags of cement onto Deng Fan's shoulder.
A weight of five hundred kilograms pressed down on Deng Fan's shoulders, looking like a small hill.
However, Deng Fan's face was not red, he was breathing heavily, with five bags of cement on his shoulder, he was still walking briskly.
Everyone present, including the supervisor, were stunned. They all praised in their hearts, [This guy is really awesome!]
Under Deng Fan's extraordinary work efficiency, nearly a hundred bags of cement were quickly moved away.
"Can we call it a day?" Deng Fan clapped his hands and walked over to Fatty Wang and asked.
"It's done, let's go home and eat!" Supervisor Wang looked at Deng Fan with praise, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Well done today, continue working hard tomorrow!"
"No problem!" Deng Fan agreed straightforwardly, "Then I'll go back first!" With that, he hung his clothes on his shoulders and strode out of the construction site.
When they almost reached his house, Deng Fan thought that if he were to let Du Xue see the scars all over his body, he would definitely be frightened. Thinking of this, he quickly put on his clothes, and then continued to walk toward the door.
She knocked on the door, heard Du Xue's reply, and quickly opened the door.
"You must be hungry. You can eat later." Du Xue said to Deng Fan who had walked into the room, then hurriedly left.
"I'm sorry, I should have cooked for you." After Deng Fan finished speaking, he walked to Du Xue's side and asked: "Do you need my help?"
"No need, just rest for a bit. It'll be ready soon." Du Xue said.
Deng Fan could only sit in front of the sofa and casually flip through a man's magazine on the table.
After a while, Deng Fan suddenly sniffed at his clothes and couldn't help but frown. He then said to Du Xue: "I'll go take a shower first before eating.
Without waiting for Du Xue's response, Deng Fan had already walked towards the balcony.
The clothes that was hung up yesterday had already dried. Deng Fan took them off, then turned around and entered the bathroom.
After working hard for the whole day, Deng Fan was so hungry that he ate three whole bowls of rice in succession. Of course, there was another reason behind the fact that he could eat so fast: Du Xue's culinary skills were indeed excellent. Deng Fan had never seemed to have tasted such delicious food before, and he praised Du Xue greatly.
"Thankfully I put in more rice. Otherwise, it really wouldn't be enough for you to eat alone." Du Xue said.
"I'm sorry, I probably ate both of you by myself." Deng Fan said in embarrassment, "But don't worry, I will pay for your food."
Du Xue laughed and asked: "How did you feel on the first day of work?"
"I feel good." Deng Fan said, "Although it's physical labor, I can still take it."
"Is the salary coming to an end?" Du Xue asked.
"Yes." Deng Fan said, "However, you will have to wait until tomorrow morning to be paid for today's work, so it can be considered as a day off!"
"The work at the construction site must be a bit hard, but I'll have to do it for now. I'll change it when I find a suitable one." Du Xue said.
"That's the only way." Deng Fan said.
Du Xue's home did not have a network or computer. The only entertainment equipment was an old television.
Du Xue usually did not watch much TV either, she was more willing to play with her mobile, this was also a hobby that many young people loved.
"Big Brother Du, you should also have a cell phone that is convenient for us to contact." Du Xue said to Deng Fan.
"I'll buy it when I've earned enough money." Deng Fan said.
"I can buy it for you."
"How can I accept this?"
"It doesn't matter, just treat it as me lending you money to buy it. You just have to repay me with money in the future."
"Good …" "Fine!" Deng Fan braced himself and agreed. He felt that he owed this woman more and more things, and if this continued, he would definitely be bound by her bindings, but for some reason, he enjoyed being bound by her.
The living room was not big. In the silence of the night, the two people in the room could even hear each other's heartbeats.
The atmosphere was still heavy.
Du Xue sat on a chair and looked at her cell phone while Deng Fan sat on the sofa, doing nothing. He suddenly felt that this atmosphere was a little depressing, and wanted to break this damnable silence.
Deng Fan was just about to find a topic to talk to when he suddenly raised his head and said to Deng Fan, "Why don't we go out for a walk?"
Deng Fan looked at the time and realized that it was only 8 PM and it was still too early for him to sleep. If he continued to sit down like this, he might go crazy.
"Don't you usually have any distractions at night?" Deng Fan who was strolling on the street with Du Xue asked.
"I occasionally go shopping with friends." Du Xue said.
Deng Fan acknowledged, and then continued: "Very few people come out, right?"
"Hmm, the security around here isn't that good, so I rarely go out alone at night." Du Xue said.
"That's right. As a girl, it's best if you don't go out alone, especially at night." Deng Fan nodded in agreement.
"But now, don't be afraid, because you're here." As Du Xue said this, she deliberately went closer to Deng Fan, almost losing her arm in front of Deng Fan's.
"You trust me that much?" Deng Fan didn't know if it was gratitude or sorrow.
"I know you will protect me." Du Xue said.
Deng Fan heard and did not say anything. He could not help but ask himself: Can I really protect her? I'm afraid I can't even protect myself? Am I a very dangerous person? Otherwise, why would he faint in the park and lose his memory?
"Why don't we go buy a phone now!" Du Xue suddenly suggested.
"Did you bring the money?" Deng Fan asked.
"I should have enough money in my wallet. Just don't buy high-end phones, just ordinary phones will do."
"Alright, then go!" Deng Fan did not object.
The security here was indeed not good. It could even be said that it was a bit poor, because this place was filled with both dragons and snakes. There were many outsiders here, and all of them were of low quality.
Before Deng Fan and Du Xue even entered the city, they met bandits on a remote road.
Two robbers suddenly caught up from behind, and trapped Deng Fan and Du Xue in the middle.
"Brothers, what's the matter?" Seeing that the person who came was not friendly, Deng Fan had already guessed a little and could only probe.
"It's nothing much. I just want to borrow some money to spend." The bandit near Deng Fan stretched out his left hand and asked Deng Fan for money. His right hand was always in his pocket, as if he was holding onto something.
"I don't have any money." Deng Fan frankly said as he patted his empty pockets, indicating that he could not help anymore.
That bandit did not believe it and even personally searched Deng Fan's body. After confirming that Deng Fan was not lying, he could not help but curse in a low voice.
"Why do you want to be a robber?" Deng Fan suddenly asked.
When he saw Deng Fan's blaming expression again, he was infuriated. Without a second word, he raised his fist and punched Deng Fan in the abdomen, then rammed his knee into Deng Fan again, and scolded him while pointing at Deng Fan: "Your father wants you to teach him a lesson?"
Unexpectedly, Deng Fan did not retaliate, but only glared fiercely at the bandit.
"You damned poor bastard, are you still not convinced that I will beat you up?" If you're not convinced, come hit me! " The bandit seemed to be addicted to it, and before he could finish, he kicked Deng Fan to the ground.
Another beating.
Du Xue, who had currently lost all color in her eyes, was already dumbstruck.
The other bandit also could not help but join in the battle when he saw his comrade fight to his heart's content. He started to attack Deng Fan who had fallen to the ground in turns.
"Stop fighting, stop!" Du Xue could no longer bear it and hurriedly rushed to Deng Fan's side in order to pull those two robbers away.
Those two robbers seemed to have already lost all reason and simply ignored Du Xue, as if they wanted to vent all their hatred towards society onto Deng Fan.
"I beg of you, please stop fighting. I have money, I'll give it all to you!" Du Xue said loudly while spreading her arms in front of Deng Fan to protect him.
"You have money?" One of the robbers stopped and asked.
