Looking at her face, she is a little bigger than Conna, but if you look closely, the little girl shrunk in the cardboard box is actually very thin. If she stands up straight, she may not be taller than Conna.

Eleven or twelve? Maybe thirteen years old... In Shi Xiaolei's opinion, this little girl named Sky is definitely not fourteen years old.

She was probably at the age of just graduating from elementary school and entering junior high school, but the firmness in her words was like that of an adult who saw through the world... I felt the strong guard in the little girl's words, as well as the resistance that was unwilling to obey common sense, to be honest , Shi Xiaolei is really embarrassed.

Then, should I continue to meddle in my own business and give me a few more words of advice?

After a moment of hesitation, Shi Xiaolei made a choice. Looking at the little girl, he deliberately squeezed out a kind smile: "That... Skye, right? I heard Conner say, you always wanted to find your biological parents?"

"..." There was no response, the little girl's eyes were full of doubts, but her vigilance became more intense.

Although she deliberately pretended to be strong and said, "I can do it myself", in the end, she is still a child who has not grown up and has not learned to hide her thoughts.

The expression on his face was clearly saying, 'Don't say you can help me find my biological parents, I don't believe it'.

"Haha, you misunderstood." Seeing the meaning in Skye's eyes, Shi Xiaolei scratched his head and smirked in defense: "It's not that easy to help you find your biological parents, I don't dare to pack for you now. Tickets. I mean, you have to save your own life before you can think about it, don't you?"

"How long do you think you can survive living in this cardboard box on such a cold day? You're not sick now, just lucky. If it's colder, or you can't find anything to eat for days in a row, with your current small physique ...to be honest, I really don't think you can hold out for long."

"It can be seen that you are very strong, and you don't want others to treat you as a child. If that's the case, then you should think about what choices you would make if you were an adult in your current situation... If it were me, I would temporarily give up my persistence in other aspects."

"Since you have decided to face this cruel world like an adult, you must give up your fantasy and learn to choose like an adult. Skye, in the far east, there is an old saying, 'If you stay in the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood', you can Do you understand the meaning of this sentence..." Staring at Skye and seeing a trace of confusion in her eyes, Shi Xiaolei sighed and shrugged helplessly: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. To achieve a wish, for the distant future, you must first take care of yourself. If there is a problem with your own body, then no matter how lofty the ideal is, it will be difficult to get the chance to realize it.”

On the American side, although the name Skye is not very common, it is not very rare either.

But he named himself Skye...

Combining the age and appearance that Kang Na described when she came back to report, and the experience of the little girl being adopted and abandoned many times, Shi Xiaolei actually had a guess early on, and felt that this little girl living on the street was very likely to appear in The shock girl from "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

However, Shi Xiaolei will stay after the event and come to check the situation in person, not because he sees Skye's potential and wants to bring him under his command in advance.

After all, this is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not a world set in comics—although in the story of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." it was the Shockwave girl who stepped forward and turned into Glen Talbot, the King of All Forces. Flying into space prevented him from splitting the earth in half, but judging from the process of the battle, the shock girl's ability is obviously not as strong as depicted in the comics.

Taking a step back, even if the shock girl's ability is really strong, it is not inferior to her performance in the comic version...

From Shi Xiaolei's standpoint, there is no need to worry about her power.

Now there are Kang Na, 2B, Bayonetta, Yixian and others around. Aside from the ship girls who will definitely arrive at Yixian because of the construction machines she brought, Shi Xiaolei can open a blind box every other month...you can also think about it with your toes. In the years when Skye grew up, he must have gathered a group of ruthless people with more ability than her.

In other words, whether Skye is the shock girl in "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is not the key reason why Shi Xiaolei wants to take care of her so actively.

It's just because the other party is still a minor, wandering away alone in this cold winter and twelfth lunar month, and really needs someone to take care of him, so Shi Xiaolei came here specially to ask her questions, hoping to give her some help.

"So, what can you help me with?"

From Shi Xiaolei's words, he felt his sincerity without asking for anything in return. After a moment of hesitation, Skye's attitude finally loosened.

"Emmm..." This question is very important, but it cannot be wrong. After thinking carefully for a while, Shi Xiaolei raised his eyes and looked at Skye, who was sticking his head out of the cardboard box: "If I say 'I can provide you with a place to live'... One-sided care~lightnovelpub.net ~You will definitely not accept it. Why don't we arrange this in the way of adults?"

"..." Staring at Shi Xiaolei, Skye didn't speak, and said 'continue' with his eyes.

"I opened a small shop, if you don't mind, you can come and work in my shop." Shi Xiaolei smiled and said his plan: "The shop sells catering, you don't need to come to work here. Worrying about being hungry... I mean, whether it's you or anyone else, as long as you work in my store, work meals are a standard benefit."

As he spoke, he carefully paid attention to the changes in Skye's expression.

Seeing that she did not show any expression of resistance, but instead showed a look of anticipation in her eyes, Shi Xiaolei shouted in her heart, 'There is a door', and continued while striking while the iron was hot: "Considering that you have no place to live now, I can rest the staff. There is a small space in the room as your temporary residence. As for the accommodation fee... We will all go home after the business is over. You are the only one who stays to see the store. This is also an extra job. According to common sense, I I have to give you an overtime pay, why don't you use it to offset your accommodation fee?"

"Oh, by the way, there are also wages for work." Speaking of which, Shi Xiaolei held his chin deliberately and put on a very serious expression: "You are still a child, and your identity is not very clear. I took you in the store. I may have to take some risks when I work here...emmm, referring to other people's salary standards, you can only take three-quarters. The extra quarter is the price of my risk-taking, what do you think? "
