Yaoyao went upstairs immediately, but it was too late.

He picked up a piece of his clothes, tore it into shreds, then crumpled it up and stuffed it into the trash can.

The garbage is there and she hasn't come up yet, so there's still time.

Very good.

Fu Huaiyi held a trash can in his hand, pressed tightly against the door, and listened carefully to the noise outside.

The sound of footsteps gradually came from outside. It was her footsteps, which he was already very familiar with.

He could even hear which floor she was walking up to.

Third floor.

He was a little nervous, even more nervous than when the enemy approached.

Nervously counting, one step, two steps...turn, one step, two steps...

There is one final step, and she has come up to it, which is now.

Fu Huaiyi opened the door abruptly and looked into Lin Yuyao's eyes.

"What a coincidence." He lifted the trash can in his hand and said, "I'm going downstairs to take out the trash. Do you have any trash? I'll help you take it out."

It suddenly appeared, making Lin Yuyao stunned for a moment.

She looked down at the trash can in his hand and said, "I..."

Wait, do I have any trash to take out?

Before she could finish, Fu Huaiyi said, "You're welcome. It's just a matter of course."

After saying this, he went upstairs as if afraid that she would refuse.

Lin Yuyao: “…”

She went into the house to get the trash can, and Fu Huaiyi was waiting at the door. She felt like she was being stared at by a rag-and-bone collector.

There was trash in her trash can, but not much. It was all discarded manuscripts and shredded paper she had torn into pieces.

Actually, she didn't need to fall asleep today, but Fu Huaiyi was waiting at the door.

Never mind, give it to him.

Fu Huaiyi took the trash can and ran downstairs quickly.

Lin Yuyao watched him run away and smiled.

He... doesn't really like me, does he?

But he said no.

The last time he was misunderstood by Lu Jiangting, he didn't go to the bookstore to return the book for a long time to avoid suspicion. Later, when he came to return the book, he went to Sister Zhou and Sister Liu.

Lin Yuyao didn't close the door, and soon Fu Huaiyi came back after taking out the trash.

"Here you go."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. By the way..."

"That's right."

They both spoke at the same time.

Finally I found a topic to talk about and had an excuse to stay.

Fu Huaiyi felt happy.

"You go first."

"You go first."

They both spoke at the same time.

"..."

"Ladies first." Fu Huaiyi said.

All right.

Lin Yuyao said, "I just want to ask, how long will Sister Le Yi stay at her husband's house to take care of her pregnancy?"

ah?

Lin Yuyao looked at Fu Huaiyi's confused expression and said, "It's not a big deal. I just asked out of curiosity."

Fu Huaiyi's face darkened, "When did she say she wanted to go to her husband's house to take care of the baby?"

Huh? He doesn't know?

"She's been gone for a few days. She even said that if we need to find her urgently, we should find you first."

Fu Huaiyi: "I don't know, she didn't tell me."

After he said that, Lin Yuyao didn't want to continue asking questions.

"Where is her husband's house?" she asked curiously again.

"In the north, the summer isn't that hot."

"Oh, maybe she's going there to escape the heat? The weather in South City is indeed quite hot."

"Well, maybe."

"By the way, what did you want to tell me?"

Fu Huaiyi said: "I just heard some things when I came back from my mission."

"What is it?"

"Go find Lu Jiangting and ask him to pay you back."

Huh? Has it spread?

"Well...I did go to him yesterday to pay him back."

"He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Fu Huaiyi asked worriedly.

Lin Yuyao shook her head and said, "It's okay. I'm near the main entrance. It's time to get off work, so there are a lot of people here."

"How much does he still owe you?"

"There's still 90 yuan left. He can't pay it back this month. I'll go and block him next month when he gets his salary."

Fu Huaiyi: “…”

"I don't want to either, but if I don't bet on him, I don't know when he will be able to pay me back. His money must be given to Fang Qing."

"How do you know?"

Well...she couldn't talk about her experiences in her past life.

"Fang Qing's hair salon closed down, and all the initial investment was lost. She had no money left, and had to rely on the subsidies every month to survive. She was a spendthrift, and the subsidies were not enough for them and her son, so they had to rely on Lu Jiangting to subsidize them.

I guessed it right yesterday. Luckily I stopped Lu Jiangting and asked for some of the money back, otherwise he would have given it all to Fang Qing."

Fu Huaiyi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

I feel like it's not easy for her.

A young girl, from the country.

If a person wants to find someone to pay back a debt in a big city, he or she has to use both wits and courage.

"I'll go there for you next month, so don't go to look for him alone."

ah?

"It's okay. I can handle my own problems."

Fu Huaiyi: “…”

He felt that she was still on guard against him.

What right does he have to interfere in her affairs?

"Okay, if you need anything, just come to me. Don't be shy."

Lin Yuyao nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

Fu Huaiyi was feeling a little disappointed at first, but when he saw her smile, he felt a new vitality injected into his heart, and his heartbeat quickened a lot.

His ears turned red, and he pointed to the stairs going downstairs and said, "I'm going down."

"Um."

He felt that their relationship had become a little closer, a little bit.

…

While her son was taking a nap, Fang Qing went to the bookstore alone to look for Lin Yuyao.

She chose this time because her son was asleep and it was convenient for her to go out.

Second, there are usually no customers in bookstores at this time.

She still has some dignity and doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.

When she arrived at the store, she looked around first. As expected, there were no customers. She only saw Lin Yuyao climbing up high to organize the bookshelves.

"Yuyao."

Lin Yuyao was originally loading goods onto the shelves, and the highest shelf required a ladder.

She climbed up the high stairs, lowered her head, and looked down at Fang Qing.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Fang Qing's face was filled with anger. She took a deep breath and tried her best to make her voice sound calmer and more helpless.

"Yuyao, I'm the one who owes you money. How can you go to Jiang Ting to ask for it? He doesn't owe you anything."

Oh.

She knew this would happen, so she asked Lu Jiangting to sign as well.

If Fang Qing cannot pay it back within three months, Lu Jiangting will have to pay it back for her.

It would be strange if Fang Qing, such a poor guy, could pay it back.

"He is the guarantor. It was clearly written on the IOU that if you cannot pay back the money within three months, Lu Jiangting will have to pay it back. Now the three months have passed, have you paid it back?"

"I...I failed in business, and I didn't mean to not pay you back. Why are you pushing me so hard?"

"The failure of your business is your fault. I didn't ask you to smash your store. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Whoever smashed your store should be asked to make up for it. What's the point of you telling me? You can't just not pay me back because your store was smashed, right?"

"I didn't say I won't pay it back. I'm just having some difficulties right now. I will definitely pay it back when I have more money. Don't go looking for Jiang Ting anymore."
