"Uh." Feng Xi's expression changed, and he was speechless.

"Xiaoyu, I've come to discuss something urgent with you."

well.

He'd spent all his living expenses for the past six months and was now penniless. He'd been running up debts at bars for the past few days, and now the bar owners were coming to his door, demanding he pay them back within a week, or they'd cut off one of his fingers.

It's only a few thousand yuan, is it really necessary to be so ruthless?

"Xiaoyu, could you... could you..."

Want to borrow money?

"Feng Xi, I also have something I want to tell you."

"Huh?" Feng Xi was stunned for a moment, and he subconsciously asked, "What?"

That's how I got tricked.

"I'm a little short on cash lately, could you lend me a few hundred?"

"..."

Damn it.

He wanted to borrow money from her, but she ended up borrowing from him instead.

Unexpectedly, Feng Xi frowned, somewhat embarrassed, "But, but I'm also short of money lately."

Feng Xi tightened his grip on his hands at his sides, seemingly quite nervous. He stared intently at Rong Shang and asked, "How come you don't have any money? Don't you have odd jobs?"

"Heh." Upon hearing him mention this, Rong Shang laughed, a hint of sarcasm in her smile. "Haven't you only been doing this for a few days?"

"Does this mean we can get an advance on our salary?"

You probably don't want to do it anymore.

Feng Xi probably didn't catch the sarcasm in her words.

He rubbed his hands together and said, "But aren't you short on cash? It's fine to take an advance; it's yours anyway."

This is an advance on my salary; I might even be able to lend him some more.

That's what he was planning.

How could Rong Shang not see it?

She didn't want to waste her breath on him, but she was just wondering why Yan Jie and his group hadn't come after them.

I couldn't help but prick up my ears to receive the information from the outside world.

The wind is really strong, blowing many leaves off the trees along the roadside.

I didn't hear any footsteps, so I'm not sure if they've left.

Rong Shang turned her head and glanced at Feng Xi with a look of disdain and indifference.

"Let's not," she refused. "My mom is always waiting to ask me for that salary."

“If I can’t give her the money later, she’ll beat me to death.”

"But……"

"If you've said enough, then get out!"

Feng Xi had just opened his mouth when a cold, sharp voice came from the other party, silencing him.

He shut his mouth, dumbfounded.

He just stared at her blankly.

This was probably the most out-of-control moment.

Rong Shang grew impatient with the man because he was selfish and indecisive.

I don't want to waste my breath on this scumbag.

Who cares about the plot?

They all need to be dealt with, anyway.

system,【……】

calm.

"Bai Xiaoyu, you..."

Feng Xi was so startled by her sudden change in demeanor that she couldn't speak. After stammering for a long time, she finally asked, "You want me to get out?"

Is this brat out of her mind?

But when he spoke, the other person ignored him and turned to walk inside.

He was left alone in the empty courtyard, exposed to the cold wind and subjected to the strange looks from others.

I'm so angry...

At night, Feng Xi walked along kicking pebbles on the ground. Thinking about how Bai Xiaoyu had told him to get lost in front of so many people, he wished he could run upstairs to her house, drag her out, and slap her a few times.

What the hell?

She was the one who said she liked him.

Now that he's come looking for her, she dares to push her luck.

laugh.

Let's just leave her alone.
