That night, Jiang Qiao had a dream he hadn't had in a long time.
She was in an alley, and looking from the alley, the street was noisy.
A small figure walked past her, and Jiang Qiao recognized that it was Pei Yan when he was a child.
Pei Yan was dressed in rags, and Jiang Qiao could still smell the sour odor on him when he passed by her.
"Pei Yan."
Jiang Qiao couldn't help but call him. Even though she might be considered a weirdo, this was a dream, and she could do whatever she wanted in the dream.
When Pei Yan heard his name, he subconsciously turned around. It was the first time he saw such a beautiful woman here.
She must be very rich, this was Pei Yan's first thought.
Pei Yan did not doubt that this sister knew his name, because everyone here knew his name, but everyone called him a little bastard. Apart from his grandfather, this was the first time someone called him that name.
He raised the broken bowl in his arms high, smiled timidly without saying a word.
Jiang Qiao's heart melted at once. She quickly felt her pocket, then searched her whole body and took out a one-dollar coin from her pocket.
She put the coins into the broken bowl and said, "Take it. I'll treat you to a meat bun. This is all I brought with me when I went out."
Pei Yan didn't feel disgusted, but he felt that he had misjudged the person for the first time. "Thank you, the meat buns are one dollar and fifty cents."
Jiang Qiao hated her. Why was she so poor? I wonder if the space can be used. Why not give it a try?
"Child, are you full?"
[Ding Dong, your grandma's space has been opened, valid for 20 minutes.]
Jiang Qiao was immediately overjoyed. She remembered that there were several stacks of banknotes in a corner of the space.
The next second, Jiang Qiao took out several stacks of red banknotes from his trouser pocket in front of Pei Yan, and put them all into his broken bowl.
Pei Yan's eyes widened in shock. Is this guy crazy?
He stuffed the money into his clothes and ran away.
Jiang Qiao: ...Why is he like this?
Deep in the alley, an old man stuffed a whole bag of cans into the corner.
Pei Yan ran back, looking behind him from time to time, but the woman didn't catch up with him.
The old man asked him, "Xiao Yan, why are you running so fast?"
Pei Yan picked up the water on the ground and took a few sips, then handed the stacks of banknotes in his arms to the old man.
The old man was not happy about the money. Instead, he frowned and asked, "Where did the money come from?"
"A woman gave it to me."
The old man couldn't believe that someone in this slum could just give away so much money.
"Xiao Yan, even though you haven't been to school, I've always taught you that even though we live in poverty, we shouldn't steal or rob."
Pei Yan lowered his head and said, "I didn't steal or rob it. It was really given to me by a strange woman."
"Then why did you run back so fast just now? There was no one chasing you."
Pei Yan was speechless. He didn't believe that anyone would give him so much money.
The old man sighed: "Xiao Yan, take me to find the person who gave you the money."
Pei Yan pinched the corner of his clothes: "Oh."
"Pei Yan, you run really fast."
Jiang Qiao held on to the wall and searched for a long time before she came to this corner.
Pei Yan hid behind the old man.
The old man was also surprised by Jiang Qiao's appearance. There wouldn't be such a noble person in the slums. He guessed that the money was hers.
"Miss, are you here to get your money back? This kid has never been to school and doesn't know etiquette. Don't bother with him. I'll return the money to you right away."
Jiang Qiao waved his hand, "Grandpa, no thanks, I gave the money voluntarily."
Of course the old man knew that having more money was good, but having so much money in the slums would bring unnecessary trouble.
"Girl, you'd better take it back. We don't need so much."
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Grandpa, you may not know that Pei Yan and I are destined to be together. Save this money and let him go to school! You can also use it later."
The old man wanted to refuse again, but Jiang Qiao suddenly said, "Pei Yan, take me for a walk. I've never been here before."
Pei Yan wanted this money. With this money, his grandfather could go to the hospital for treatment and they would live a better life.
He pulled Jiang Qiao out.
The old man was shouting behind him, and finally had no choice but to go into the tin house next door, wrap the wallet again and again, and hide it under a brick. Under the brick there was money wrapped in paper, but it was only a thin piece.
——
They walked out into the alley.
Pei Yan raised his little face and said, "What's your name? Leave me your contact information. When I grow up, I will return the money to you."
Jiang Qiao wiped some of the dust off his face and said, "My name is Jiang Qiao, no need for my contact information." It was just a dream.
Pei Yan's expression was serious. "I have to keep it."
Jiang Qiao's vision suddenly became blurry, and she could no longer see Pei Yan's face clearly. She was about to wake up.
"Pei Yan, we will meet again if we are destined to. I am leaving now. I hope you are doing well when we meet next time." Don't be so miserable.
Pei Yan was about to say something else when the woman suddenly disappeared before his eyes.
"Of course I'll be fine."
——
As soon as Jiang Qiao opened his eyes, he met a pair of deep blue eyes.
"Pei Yan, I had a dream."
Pei Yan hugged her tightly, "What did you dream about?"
Jiang Qiao: "I dreamed of your childhood. I saw you. You were so rude. You took so much money from me but didn't even say thank you. I was mad. You have to say thank you now!"
Pei Yan smiled, "Thank you."
Jiang Qiao felt quite regretful: "Really, you woke up so early. I haven't even seen you live a good life yet, and you woke up."
Pei Yan told her, "Later, Grandpa used the money to send him to school, and he got to eat the meat buns. Grandpa's illness was cured, and the year he was admitted to university, he met... the person he had always wanted to meet."
