Although they’re hard work, they are stable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused, her voice lowering a bit, carrying a cautious and negotiating tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mainly carrying goods at the dock warehouse, or swinging a big hammer at a construction site, what do you think...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Li Guifen knew as well, her son was uneducated, without a proper background, and burdened by his blind mother; finding a respectable job was as tough as climbing the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she spoke very gently, afraid of hurting her son’s self-esteem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to his mother’s words, Xiao Shuai felt a mix of emotions in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forced himself to perk up, gave his face a vigorous wipe, and said with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, I earned quite a bit from sailing this time. In a couple of days, I’ll take you to a big hospital to check your eyes, maybe they can be treated!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guifen waved her hand, her voice carrying a tone of resigned calmness:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My eyes have been this way for years, I’ve long given up, whether I can see or not, life goes on the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as you stay safe, find a stable job, don’t fool around like before, and bring home a wife, mom will be content in this lifetime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After experiencing so much, and enduring three months in the detention center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai desired stability more than ever, wanting to openly and honestly give his mother a good life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He secretly swore in his heart, nodding earnestly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, don’t worry, I know what to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mother and son talked for a while longer, mostly Li Guifen giving advice, Xiao Shuai responding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night gradually deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai saw the fatigue on his mother’s face and persuaded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, it’s getting late, you should rest first, I’ll take a bath and sleep too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Guifen nodded, groped around, and returned to the inner room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai filled a basin with cold water in the main room, took off the branded casual jacket given by Secretary Liu, revealing a body full of bruises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply wiped off the blood and sweat, then changed into old clothes at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he lay down on another creaking plank bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay with his eyes open, staring dazedly at the large patches of mold spread across the damp ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was a mess, thinking of all sorts of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Chen Chen’s cooperation proposal, to that mysterious expert, and his mother’s hopeful eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scenes flashed before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ultimately, he couldn’t resist the fatigue and shock from recent days, his eyelids grew heavier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, even breathing slightly heavier, snores began to sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Shuai and Li Guifen’s room wasn’t exactly two separate rooms, only separated by a thin curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was silent, only the uneven breathing of the mother and son echoed back and forth in the small space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, occasionally a few feeble barks of stray dogs would break the silence, adding a touch of desolation to the quiet night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unknown how much time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure silently appeared in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the darkness, the visitor’s eyes glowed frighteningly, faintly tinged with a blood-red gleam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few strands of cool moonlight squeezed through the gaps in the worn-out curtains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just enough to illuminate his face’s white mask, menacing and terrifying, like an evil ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure lifted the curtain and walked to the side of Xiao Shuai’s bed, looking down at the snoring, defenselessly sleeping Xiao Shuai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gaze behind the mask flickered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if hesitating over something, or weighing the pros and cons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From behind the curtain, a slight cough from Li Guifen was heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure shuddered, his actions momentarily frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, the hint of hesitation in his eyes gradually disappeared, eventually turning to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t disturb anyone, his figure flickered, and he silently exited the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like when he appeared, abrupt and mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nights in the urban village were always particularly quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The low houses interlocked, narrow alleys crisscrossed like a web.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure stood quietly in a dark corner, blending into the night’s shadows like a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng exhaled lightly, looking up at the distant night sky, reeled off bright lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the deepest night, the city center remained bustling and lively, music never ceasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In sharp contrast to the ruinous darkness beneath his feet, like two completely different worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Cheng withdrew his gaze, shaking his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, he ended up like Ma Donghe, unable to become an Assassin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he could easily take his life while the other was sleeping, completely eliminating this potential threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he slipped into that simple room, heard the conversation between Xiao Shuai and his mother, and saw the scene of them relying on each other for survival.\u003C\u002Fp>",1003,"2026-05-29T15:13:34.679Z","2026-06-01T04:29:35.325Z",1,"novelbin.me","a4e9a0aca90d20a577a2ff5a5e70499e6dd346c506eed9df7938b4d80464dc2b","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-596","starting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-chapter-594",1278,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-to-gain-experience-from-push-ups-cover.jpg"]
