Chapter 603 Reliable People
Su saw Kavi arguing with someone.
I don’t know who won in the end, but the two of them parted on bad terms.
Kavi angrily sat down at the outdoor seat of the pub and ordered a large beer.
When Kavi was bored, he was used to drinking some wine to relieve his mood. However, he had just taken two sips when he saw Su hiding behind a tree not far away.
Kavi spit out a mouthful of beer, quickly paid the bill and pulled the girl away from the pub.
After that chaos, it has become a consensus that Su and wine should not appear in the same frame.
"How did you find me, Kavi?"
"Su, didn't you go to the Palace of Wisdom?"
The two voices sounded at the same time.
Kavi looked at the two lush branches held in the girl's hands with amusement and said, "It would be strange if you couldn't find me. I saw you at first sight." Who taught her these hiding skills?
After laughing, Kavi felt a little annoyed.
Sue should have seen him arguing with someone and getting drunk, which is not what a responsible adult should do.
Kavi changed the subject, hoping that the girl would forget what she had just seen as soon as possible, "By the way, Su, why are you not in the Palace of Wisdom?"
Why else...she doesn't want to be trapped in the Palace of Wisdom...
After Su's eyes wandered for a second, he said confidently: "I have studied seriously for a long time, and I came out to take a breath of fresh air!"
Kavi understood: "The Palace of Wisdom is a good place, but sometimes people want to escape. Well! It's normal."
"Would you like something to drink? It's my treat." Kavi quickly corrected himself, "Wine is not allowed!"
Su comforted him, "I don't drink, don't be afraid."
Alas, Kavi finally dared to face her alone, he couldn’t scare her away.
"I didn't... cough!" Kavi tried to show the reliability of an adult, "The weather is nice today, why don't we go for a walk together?"
After the two of them strolled for a while, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, in coordination with each other's pace, Su asked the question that had always concerned him.
Su: "So... which side won the argument just now?" She applauded when Kavi won, and went to help him when he lost!
"There is no winner." Seeing the girl's face full of curiosity, Kavi sighed and told the truth.
The man who just had an argument with Kawi was a client that Kawi had once funded.
Su was puzzled. Funding...clients? Such a niche language!
Kavi said that the man had invited him to help design a house before, but Kavi changed the plan again and again, and the other party was not satisfied.
Finally, Kavi found out the man's true financial situation and he couldn't even afford the design fee, so he was not a real client at all.
"That guy lived in a shabby house. I saw that the load-bearing walls of the house were about to collapse, so I offered to help him rebuild it. He said he had no money, so I paid some of the money for him and asked him to go to the local Chamber of Commerce to buy some stones and wood."
But he didn't expect that the other party took Kawi's money and went to the casino, and came back with all his money lost.
Kavi, who was waiting for materials with a group of workers at the construction site, did not doubt the other party's lies at first. It was only after he was cheated of money twice that he became suspicious and discovered the truth after tracking them.
As a result, because Kavi stopped funding, the other party simply found a group of Gilded Brigade to ambush him, hoping to rob this famous architect of Xumi and get all his savings.
After listening to Kavi's story, Su had an indescribable expression on his face.
"I'm fine. After all, I'm not someone who can be bullied!" Kavi raised his arms and made a "power!" gesture.
Kavi's face showed an angry expression again. "I just met him and asked him why he did this. He actually said that it was because I looked gullible. What the hell does it mean to look gullible!"
Su raised his eyes and looked at Kavi, who had blonde hair, red eyes, and a simple and romantic temperament.
Kawi looks very much like a naive and dissolute rich boy who became a bard because of his hobby, and...
"Kavi is just very gullible." Not only does he look gullible, but he is also very gullible in reality. Because he is too kind.
Sue thought back to her first meeting with Kawi.
In the dark night, in the alley, there was a noisy sound of pursuit not far away. Then she packed up Paimon and held the sleeping Sora horizontally, with a strange and mysterious look.
A normal person would either scream and run away if faced with this situation, or pretend not to see it and walk away quickly.
Only Kavi gently and caringly asked if she needed help. In the end, he took them home, even though they were obviously in big trouble.
What's the point of bullying a good person? Su recalled the man who had quarreled with Kawi, and planned to find a time to find him and give him a lesson with a righteous iron fist.
"Su, you said so too..." Kavi showed an embarrassed expression and whispered, "Am I really that easy to fool?"
After doubting himself for a few seconds, Kavi pulled himself together again, "No, no! It's not that I'm easy to fool. I just... want to give him some chances."
"That person was born in the desert. He finally arrived in the rain forest, but for many reasons he couldn't integrate into the life here smoothly."
The man did not receive a good education in his hometown in the desert, and because of some past experiences, he had no means of making a living except committing crimes, so he lived a hard life.
Kavi chose to sponsor him in the hope that he would have a stable home and gain the hope and courage to start his life anew.
"But kindness is a very precious thing and should not be wasted on people who are not worthy." This is what Su thought.
It's enough to give a chance once. Giving aid again and again will only consume Kavi's money, kindness and tenderness.
"If he keeps sacrificing himself like this, Kawi will burn out."
Not only will money be consumed, but his kindness and enthusiasm will also be wasted, and in the end, he will doubt himself.
It's not worth it to pay like this for someone who is not worthy.
Kavi was stunned, and finally put away his forced cheerfulness, revealing an expression of sadness and nostalgia.
"Su, your ideas in this regard...are somewhat similar to those of El Haisen."
"Elhaisen told me a long time ago, 'No matter how good a swimmer is, he will be dragged under by a drowning person when his strength is exhausted.' He believed that this was the end of idealists."
Su nodded. Although Elhaisen often didn't speak human language and his words of advice were even harsher to hear, he was indeed trustworthy.
"In fact, the reason I did this initially was not so much out of kindness as an idealist, but rather... a desire to make up for my guilt."
He chooses to do many good things, just to make amends, even if not to any specific person.
He just wanted to make himself feel a little better. He was not a real idealist, but his father was.
Kavi once had a happy family. His father was sunny, cheerful and helpful, and was called an idealist by many people.
With his encouragement, Kavi's father participated in the first college championship held by the Institute of the Church.
As a result, Kawi's father, who was recognized as having a chance to win the championship, not only failed to win the championship, but became depressed after the game and finally applied to go to the desert for an investigation.
"After that, I never saw him again. It was said that he disappeared in the quicksand."
Although Kavi only narrated the events calmly and did not describe his own feelings, Su could still feel Kavi's sadness and self-blame.
Even though he knew rationally that he shouldn't blame himself as a child, Kavi still felt a strong sense of guilt about it.
From the day I received the bad news many years ago until this moment today, it has never completely stopped.
Those cheerful and encouraging words uttered by him as a child became the most terrifying curse in his dreams countless times in the middle of the night.
Su looked at Kawi like this and couldn't say anything to comfort him. Sometimes words of comfort are too weak.
Fate does not have to punish truly kind people personally, because it will take the initiative to put a heavy shackle with thorns on itself.
Sue blinked the moisture out of her eyes and opened her arms to Kavi.
Kavi was a little shy and said, "I'm not saying this to ask Su to comfort me." After someone listened to him, he felt better.
Besides, he is the adult who should be reliable, but instead he lets the little girl comfort him. How can this be?
Sue looked him straight in the eye, "But I want Kavi to comfort me."
After hearing Kavi's experience, she was really sad and she was also someone who needed comfort.
Kavi was stunned for a second, then hugged the girl with an apologetic smile, "Thank you..."
