Ye Jin waited until Gu Yan came back before she called the waiter to pay the bill.
"Girl, your table's bill has already been paid."
Ye Jin cast a questioning look at Gu Yan: "Did you buy it?"
She used an affirmative sentence. Gu Yan stood up and said nonchalantly, "Of course, treating people to a meal is what a man should do. Don't compete with me."
On the way back, Ye Xiaoli jumped and danced with joy, while Ye Jin had a sullen face and said nothing.
The meal cost so much money and she had agreed to pay for it herself, but Gu Yan paid the bill first, which made her feel so embarrassed.
After returning to the village, Ye Xiaoli reluctantly said goodbye to them and went home.
"Jinjin, I'm going home first. Brother Gu Yan, thank you for the meal. It's really delicious!"
Ye Jin walked in front with his head down, and Gu Yan followed behind in silence.
When they reached a big tree, Gu Yan suddenly pulled her behind the tree.
"Men shouldn't let women pay for the meal. It's just a meal. Don't be angry."
"This isn't just any meal. It's a meal I'm treating my friends to. It's my way of repaying you for doing something for me. Now that you're rushing to pay the bill, I feel like I'm being unfair and I feel bad!"
If she had known that it was Gu Yan's treat, she would not have ordered so many delicious dishes and would not have been willing to spend more than 60 yuan.
Gu Yan helped her, so she couldn't treat him as a sucker.
"I know, I know. I'll let you treat me sometime in the future, okay? Actually, I haven't taken care of your sister's affairs for you, so I feel embarrassed to eat your meal."
Gu Yan took out a string of chains from his backpack, and Ye Jin took it with confusion.
"Did you get this from Wang Shi?"
"Yes, but Wang Shi was imprisoned for petty theft a few years ago. After he was released from prison, he never returned to his hometown. Now no one knows where he is."
Gu Yan will not give up the investigation, but Wang Shi’s disappearance has indeed made the matter confusing.
"It seems that we can only ask the parties involved."
Ye Jin's eyes sparkled. While Wang Fengqin hadn't revealed her true identity yet, she might be able to coax her, make deals with her, and perhaps get some information out of her.
"Don't worry, I'll go down the mountain to the town tomorrow and ask Wang Fengqin's brothers one by one."
"You want to use them as a breakthrough point? These people bully the weak and fear the strong. They are even more afraid of breaking the law. Although they usually act erratically, they are very cautious. If you find them, they may not give in."
"I have my own way, you don't have to worry about that."
As soon as the topic of his sister came up, Ye Jin had already forgotten the little emotion he had just felt.
"We're not that close, and you're always bothering me. You won't even let me treat you to a meal, and you've spent over 60 yuan on my treat. How can I thank you?"
Ye Jin twisted her fingers. She felt that she was too shameless. How could she always bother him?
"How about this, how about this? I'll give you 100 yuan. It's not much, but it's a token of my appreciation."
Ye Jin had just earned more than 300 yuan, and now she had to give out 100 yuan. She felt very painful, but she knew that the money should be spent.
Gu Yan just had a hint of a smile on his face, but after hearing her words, his face immediately turned cloudy.
"The quality of friendships isn't solely determined by how long you've known each other. You're straightforward and efficient, and we're a natural fit."
"When I see others bullying you and your sister, I feel like they are bullying me. I have empathy, so I am willing to help you unconditionally."
Gu Yan stared at Ye Jin's eyes without blinking. His deep black eyes seemed to carry magical power. Although it sounded unbelievable, unexpectedly, Ye Jin believed it.
Ye Jin smiled brightly and nodded heavily.
All the confusion and uncertainty in my heart disappeared in an instant.
In his previous life, Gu Yan risked his own life to carry her out of the fire and left her with an intact body.
Although she didn't know the reason, Ye Jin believed that he was a loyal and trustworthy person.
"I believe you, and thank you. If there's a chance, let me treat you to a meal, even if it's just a bowl of noodles."
"Okay, I'll give you that chance, but not now."
Ye Jin lowered her head, her hair was black and soft. Gu Yan reached out to touch her head, but felt that his behavior was inappropriate, so he quickly retracted his hand.
He took out the cloak he had made earlier from the small bag he carried with him. He had asked someone to rub the leather on the way, and the simple cloak before had now become a real fur.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Ye Jin shivered with cold. Gu Yan took out his cloak and casually draped it over Ye Jin's shoulders.
"It's cold, wear more clothes."
Ye Jin only felt a warmth on his body, and saw a flash of white out of the corner of his eye.
She turned her head and saw a fur coat with a generous style, soft fur, and obviously expensive fur draped over her shoulders.
The fur was pure white, with a circle of fiery red on the collar. She reached out and touched it. The fur was soft and smooth, and it had a faint luster in the sunlight.
"This must be expensive, right?"
Ye Jin cherishes him very much, but feels that she is not worthy of him.
"It's not expensive. The clothes are made of wolf skin and the collar is made of fox fur. I hunted them myself. It didn't cost me a penny."
"But kneading the leather and having a tailor sew it will cost a lot of money, right?"
"They are all old acquaintances. It won't cost much. This is a gift from me to you. Do you like it?"
Gu Yan stood a little further away. Ye Jin was already pretty, and wearing this fur coat made her fair skin and beautiful face look even more striking. Her round oval face looked even more charming and pretty.
Her long black hair fell in front of her chest, and she looked like a little beauty walking out of a painting.
"like."
Ye Jin really liked this fur coat and couldn't say anything against her conscience, but she couldn't afford such an expensive gift.
"I'm glad you like it. I was afraid you wouldn't like it."
"How could that be? I'm almost not worthy of you."
Ye Jin took off her fur coat and handed it over, but Gu Yan pushed it back firmly.
"This is custom-made to your body shape. If you don't want it, and no one else can wear it, I'll just have to throw it away."
Gu Yan said some harsh words, and Ye Jin's expression changed.
"You're such a spendthrift! You just throw away such an expensive thing."
"Then just keep it. If you keep it, I can't throw it away, right?"
The man in front of her spoke very seriously, but Ye Jin felt that he was a little naughty.
How could he force her to accept gifts like this?
"But I'm too unsophisticated. I really don't deserve it!"
The women wearing fur on TV all wear exquisite trousers and leather shoes, unlike her, who wears overalls and worn straw sandals that expose her toes.
She looked so out of place in this outfit with the fur on.
"Put this fur away first, and we'll talk about other things later."
Gu Yan stared at her feet for a while before realizing what he had overlooked.
