Before she could count to 2, Yu Xunge heard the sound of glass being hammered hard. She looked and found that the sound came from a transparent box near the ceiling.
Inside the box stood a light brown sea squirrel, not much bigger than a sunchaser, but the furry tail behind it was almost twice the size of its body.
It was pounding on the window glass anxiously.
"Aba Aba." I have to verify whether you are really looking for a song in the Moonlight Wetland.
"Aba——!" I ask you, how many gold coins do you still owe your teacher?
The anxiety on the sea squirrel's face disappeared, turning into seriousness and solemnity. It raised its paw high and circled a "0" with its fingers.
What gold coins? When have I ever owed gold coins? It's nothing!
Yu Xunge's eyes lit up immediately, and he jumped onto her head and started jumping and stepping on her head. He pointed at the sea squirrel and said to the lady with black curly hair: "Aba Aba!" She is another me!
Bitter Cup: "Tsk."
…
The black cat finally took its eyes off the screen when it was tired of laughing. It looked at Zhuri and asked curiously, "Have you paid off the money you owe Aiwu?"
It was a little stunned at the end of what it said, because it actually saw an emotion called melancholy on Zhuri's face.
Noticing Black Cat looking at her, Zhuri's expression relaxed and she asked, "What did you say?"
"Oh... I said, have you paid back the money you owe to Wailing?" Black Cat said again patiently.
Unexpectedly, this resulted in a long silence from Zhuri. Her gaze fell on the apprentice's face on the screen, but her eyes were obviously far away.
It lasted so long that even the blood elf next to her couldn't help but turn around to look at her.
The black cat cautiously stretched out its paw and touched Zhuri: "Are you okay?"
"Hmm..." Zhuri came to her senses, curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a self-deprecating smile, and said, "I just suddenly understand why my bills are getting longer and longer."
Back when she was still studying in Moonlight Wetlands, Wailing was extremely poor. Thieves earned a lot but also spent a lot. What's more, Wailing's dream was to raise a dragon, but Wailing still spent most of the money he earned on her.
Buy her the best violin, the sharpest dagger, the best wolfskin boots, the best nutritional supplements...
Every year during the Winter Veil Festival, he would choose a city and take her to visit.
Perhaps the wailing at that time was because he saw her anxiety and guilt, and in order to prevent her from being bound and affected by these distracting thoughts, he wrote a bill.
The bill was hung in the living room, and they agreed to pay it back slowly after she graduated.
But after the last year of the God Game ended, interest was suddenly added to the bill.
In the long days that followed, whenever she was about to pay off the bill, she would find a reason to add to her wailing.
Sometimes it's interest, sometimes it's a certain expense that I suddenly remembered I had forgotten to record on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.
She thought the dwarf had gone mad from lack of money.
But it doesn't matter, she makes money just to pass the time.
For a strong person of her level, gold coins are like grass on the roadside, which can be obtained anytime.
She also wanted to see how many weird excuses Wailing could come up with...
But just now, when she saw the apprentice holding up the elf and asking her other self how much money they still owed their teacher, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind:
If the apprentice still remembered the bill after regaining his memory and was able to come back to pay the money, would she be able to see her apprentice more often?
Did Wailing think the same? She already had so much gold coins that she could never spend them all, yet the bill was still so long...
They have been waiting for the day when they can let go of each other. They both firmly believe that there will be such a day. This idea has supported them day after day, year after year.
