"But isn't this medicine very good for your legs?"
Ji Mushu refused, and after a long silence, she sighed and said, "Fine, I'll go find Yu Mobai."
"Why would you want to see him!"
Ji Zhigang was startled and quickly stopped his daughter's absurd action. "It's not a necessity. We don't need to ask him. Besides, even if we did ask him, we might not be able to buy it."
"No, Dad, last time Xinqing and I went shopping..."
Ji Mushu was about to speak when Ji Zhigang was interrupted by a knock on the door.
He opened the door, and there stood Yu Mobai as always.
Yu Mobai placed four boxes of nutritional supplements at the door and said with a smile, "Uncle Ji, I forgot to bring them in my rush. I heard you say during the New Year that these supplements are good for your legs, so I bought four boxes. Tell Mushu to let me know when you've finished them. I'm going home now."
"Ah...oh, okay."
Ji Zhigang paused for a moment, then nodded. "Thank you."
"Of course."
Yu Mobai left after he finished speaking.
"Dad, who is it?"
On the other end of the phone, Ji Mushu asked curiously, "Your voice sounds familiar."
"It's...it's Yu Mobai."
Ji Zhigang looked at the four boxes of nutritional supplements on the ground and gave a wry smile. "Wooden combs? No need to buy any more. This kid brought four boxes."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Mushu breathed hot air into her fingertips a few times, then waved to Hao Xinqing, who was not far away, and said, "Xinqing, let's go back to school."
"Aren't you buying it?"
Hao Xinqing ran back from the other side, "Someone just tried to take one of our boxes."
"Yu Mobai sent all the nutritional supplements back to my dad's house."
Ji Mushu shook her head. "Let's go back first."
Hao Xinqing nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Mushu, when you met Yu Mobai a few days ago, did you already know he wasn't going that way?"
"Hmph, I knew that all along."
Ji Mushu glared at her, "Can you please stop arranging for Yu Mobai and me to fake a chance encounter in the future? It's like faking death."
"Aren't you the same? Did you arrange for Feng Linhao and me to bump into each other?"
Hao Xinqing retorted, "That idiot, dating him would be so boring."
"No, I didn't know Feng Linhao was coming."
"Then I didn't know Yu Mobai was coming."
You're lying!
"You lied to me too!"
The two girls looked at each other, chased each other, and finally started laughing and playing around.
...
That evening, the family ate at Ji Zhigang's house, and after finishing, they agreed on a time to leave the next morning.
Yu Mobai walked slowly, knowing he was bound to get a scolding.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the house, Zheng Zhaoxia said sarcastically, "This son is really raised by someone else's family. He comes back and doesn't go to see his parents first, but runs off to someone else's house instead."
Yu Jinsheng smiled and helped to smooth things over, "Isn't Mo Bai coming back also because of Dong Muhong's illness?"
“When I told him my arms and legs hurt, why didn’t he get anxious or upset?”
Zheng Zhaoxia was clearly a little jealous. You care so much about the future, which may not even be your mother-in-law's person. You've even forgotten your own mother. Thinking about this made her feel sour.
"Mother."
Yu Mobai slapped his forehead. "Wait for me."
After saying that, he ran downstairs and quickly came back with several boxes of medicine and a machine. "These were all bought in Shengjing for you. Use them to warm your legs more often."
Yu Jinsheng said with a smile, "See? Your son is still filial. I knew he hadn't forgotten you."
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Zheng Zhaoxia sat on the sofa fiddling with the equipment, her expression softening considerably. "How do you use this thing?"
"Look at the instruction manual."
Yu Mobai lay lazily on the sofa, not wanting to get up. "Old Yu, could you take a look?"
"Oh, when someone is not feeling well, you can rush back from a long distance to take them to the hospital."
Zheng Zhaoxia put the machine aside and said angrily, "I don't know how to use the machine and nobody cares. What kind of life do I have to give birth to a son like this?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Mobai quickly got up from the sofa and, as if presenting a treasure, taught Zheng Zhaoxia how to operate the equipment step by step.
"Mom, that's basically it. Do you understand?"
Zheng Zhaoxia did not speak.
"Then I'll take that as your agreement."
Yu Mobai patted his bottom and went inside to prepare for bed; he was a little tired after driving for half a day.
Back in his room, he intended to send a message to Dong Yike, but unexpectedly discovered a QQ message from Ji Mushu.
"Thank you. How much were those nutritional supplements? I'll transfer the money to you."
It was followed by a handshake emoji.
Yu Mobai laughed when he saw this; it was so typical of Ji Mushu.
She'd never used that handshake emoji before, yet she still said that—wasn't that just a polite way of saying thank you without actually wanting to?
However, given their current situation, the two of them still have to personally express their gratitude, since it was something they bought for Ji Zhigang.
So Yu Mobai started replying to the message: It's very expensive, I guess you can't afford to pay it back right now [sneer].
Ji Mushu: Then I'll pay you back slowly. [Smiling]
Yu Mobai: Do you know what usury is?
Ji Mushu: ? ? ? You want me to borrow money from loan sharks?
Yu Mobai: People who don't repay their debts are usually threatened by their creditors.
Upon seeing these words, Ji Mushu immediately jumped out of bed and, with an incredulous look, called over her best friend who was playing on her phone next to her, "Xinqing, do you know about loan sharks?"
