Of course, whenever these thoughts arose, Jiang Yu would dismiss them as something she must have thought out of her mind and quickly suppress them.
But for some reason, when the topic of her part-time job came up again, Jiang Yu still felt a familiar unease.
"I see..."
Xia Che smiled gently, never expecting that the little devil could also be so helpful.
He genuinely didn't know about this matter.
If Jiang Yu hadn't told her, given Chu Yuying's proud and aloof nature, she probably would never have known that she had actually helped Jiang Yu.
"So you'd better accept it quickly, and don't make any excuses to refuse."
Jiang Yu didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer, so she stuffed the paper bag into Xia Che's hand again.
"I don't need this money, and the wheelchair was a prize I won. Either I accept the gift and you can take the money back..."
Xia Che wanted to refuse, because Jiang Yu clearly needed the money more.
Anyway, Ning Zheyuan paid for the new wheelchair, so it has nothing to do with me.
But before Xia Che could finish speaking, he suddenly shuddered, keenly sensing the murderous intent in the air!
Jiang Yu's face darkened, and she stared intently at him, her beautiful eyes unblinking.
It's hard to imagine that a petite and cute girl could unleash such a murderous aura...
"Uh... okay, I'll compromise."
Xia Che's eyes darted around, knowing that Jiang Yu had already shown murderous intent. If he continued to refuse, he would probably suffer. But if he accepted it, he would be at a disadvantage. After thinking for a moment, Xia Che chuckled and said, "I can accept it, but in exchange, you have to tell me a secret. It can be anything, but it's best if it's something you want or a place you want to go."
"How can you be like this? This money should have been returned to you in the first place, why are you making demands?"
Jiang Yu's expression froze slightly, then she felt both ashamed and angry.
What's wrong with this person's brain?
He refused to return the money; is money some kind of evil thing?
Judging from his expression, it seems like he genuinely thinks money is a bad thing, constantly making excuses and putting things off...
If Jiang Yu weren't so shy, she would have wanted to beat Xia Che up right now.
“One thing at a time. You’re going to tell me or not. If you don’t, I won’t take it.”
Xia Che started acting like a scoundrel.
He naturally had his own considerations in making this request.
As Xia Che spent more and more time with Jiang Yu, he felt increasingly sorry for her. Even setting aside her status as the female lead, Xia Che genuinely wanted to do something for her.
Even the smallest, most insignificant wish is fine.
"you……"
Jiang Yu looked at Xia Che, who was grinning and joking in front of her. He insisted that he wouldn't accept the money unless she told him, and she really didn't know what to do with this kind of scoundrel.
There's no way...
Why can't I just enjoy owing others?
That's how they got caught red-handed.
As for my own wishes...
Jiang Yu thought for a moment, then looked at the blond-haired boy in front of her, who was laughing and joking incessantly while resting his head on the bright sunlight outside the window. Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and then it started beating faster and faster.
She originally intended to make up a wish to fob Xia Che off, but she suddenly changed her mind.
"I do have a wish... I want to see the sea."
Jiang Yu let out a deep breath. This wish had been buried in her heart for a very long time. Now that the old story had been brought up again, Jiang Yu's vision was somewhat blurry.
"...That's it?"
Xia Che was waiting for the next part, but when he saw Jiang Yu's expression as she was lost in memories, he almost bit his tongue.
Is this considered a wish?
What's the big deal about seeing the sea?
Jiang City itself has a sea!
Take Line 2, transfer once, then take a few more stops, and the sea is right outside the station exit.
The scenery is beautiful, and the beaches are all natural, and with careful maintenance, they are in no way inferior to the west coast of the United States.
The sea has played a crucial role in Jiang City's repeated selection as one of China's most beautiful cities.
It was precisely because Xia Che understood these things that his expression was so strange.
A wish that can be fulfilled by buying a subway ticket for a few dollars... is that really a wish?
"Don't lie to me, I'm serious."
Xia Che still couldn't believe that Jiang Yu's wish was so small.
"See, you think I'm joking too, haha..."
Jiang Yu pursed her lips, a hint of sadness appearing in her eyes. Then she shook her head. Today was a rare good day, she should be happy. She shook those terrible images out of her mind and smiled gently, "Although it's insignificant, this is my greatest wish."
"See the sea once."
Jiang Yu repeated it again.
Xia Che looked at Jiang Yu seriously. Jiang Yu met his gaze without flinching. After a long while, Xia Che slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. He could tell that Jiang Yu was not lying, so he nodded and said, "I understand."
Upon learning of Jiang Yu's wish, Xia Che felt no joy at having achieved it; instead, his mood grew increasingly heavy.
Such a simple wish, which any ordinary person could easily fulfill, actually became Jiang Yu's greatest wish...
No matter how I think about it, this kind of thing makes me feel heavy-hearted.
"Alright, now that you've achieved your goal, take it."
Jiang Yu didn't want to linger on the topic, so she spoke first to break the awkward atmosphere between the two. This time, Xia Che didn't refuse, and nodded with a forced smile, opening the paper bag.
Besides the neatly stacked cash, there was also a small, exquisite box.
Upon opening it, a sports watch lay quietly inside. It was entirely black with modern lines and patterns, but it wasn't a mechanical watch with a dial; instead, it was an electronic watch that clearly displayed the time.
"watch?"
Xia Che was somewhat surprised and looked up at Jiang Yu, clearly not expecting that this young woman actually understood the aesthetics of young people.
Although this watch is obviously not very expensive at first glance, most likely an ordinary watch that costs tens or hundreds of dollars in a boutique, the value of a gift is never determined by its price, but by the sentiment of the giver.
Clearly, Jiang Yu's sentiments went beyond the value of the watch.
And it far exceeds that.
Xia Che was just a little surprised that Jiang Yu would give him this.
Do you like it?
Jiang Yu was a little nervous. This was the first time she had given a gift to a man, and Xia Che's reaction was very important to her.
God knows how long she mentally prepared herself to muster the courage to give this gift.
"I like it, I really like it."
Fortunately, Xia Che wasn't completely straight and knew that he absolutely couldn't be witty at this time. He nodded affirmatively and smiled, "It just so happens that my wrist has been bare for a while. I was thinking of buying a watch to decorate it recently. Your gift is just right."
"That's why they say Dao-ge is the most fashionable in Weiyang. Everyone else wears school uniforms, but you not only don't, you also wear a necklace, and no teacher dares to discipline you..."
Jiang Yu rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Since you're already wearing the necklace, one more watch won't make a difference, which is why I chose this one to give you."
