Then I heard a melody woven from guitar and piano, purely instrumental, without lyrics.
Xue Xiaodie turned to look at him and asked, "Was it nice?"
Lu Zhe nodded.
Xue Xiaodie: "Where is Miss? Did she go back to sleep again?"
Lu Zhe: "I guess... By the way, do you think we should give her a gift today?"
Xue Xiaodie analyzed seriously, "If we didn't know it was her birthday, that would be fine, but now that we know, we definitely have to do something. Even if we don't give her a gift, we should at least treat her to a meal or something, right?"

Ten thousand or twenty thousand is a five-figure sum, as are thirty thousand or forty thousand. What the girl wouldn't say is that in the past two months, her income has actually exceeded forty or fifty thousand—partly from her artwork, but a larger portion came from her previous betting on soccer.
In short, Xue Xiaodie felt that by now, she should demonstrate some financial capability. Otherwise, she would be seen as a pretty face who only knows how to spend money and not earn much, thus losing her economic competitiveness among the other two girls.
However, this also brought her another worry...
