"I know."
Hao Xinqing nodded. "They often appear in those legal programs, and we've talked about similar cases in class. What's wrong?"
"nothing."
Ji Mushu shook her head. "What threats would I face if I couldn't pay back the loan sharks?"
"Generally speaking, they'll expose your contact list, and some might even contact you or your family."
"Is loan sharking really that scary?"
Usury was not unfamiliar to Ji Mushu, but what she was taught in class was only how to file a lawsuit, and she didn't know what kind of organization a usurer actually was.
Ji Mushu, who had been well protected since childhood, was even less aware of these dirty deals involved.
"It's quite scary. The key is that even if the police intervene, new scammers keep popping up like mushrooms after rain. My school has repeatedly urged students not to borrow money from loan sharks, but there are always people who take the risk."
After a moment of reflection, Hao Xinqing turned her gaze to her best friend. "Mushu, you're not going to borrow money from loan sharks, are you? You might as well borrow money from Yu Mobai. At least he won't do anything to you. And even if he does, what can he do? After all, you two are already like that."
"What nonsense are you spouting, You Heartless Qing!"
Ji Mushu glared at her fiercely, "I would never borrow money from loan sharks."
After saying that, she replied angrily, "You bastard, what else do you want me to do?"
Yu Mobai lay on the bed, watching her call her a "dog." He had to admit, he wondered what it sounded like to hear those three words coming from Ji Mushu's mouth.
"If all else fails, I'll even pay with my body."
After waiting for a while, Ji Mushu still didn't reply. He felt sleepy as he smelled the familiar scent in the room.
This smell is something I've been smelling since I was a child. It's a bit like the smell of something coming from the kitchen, a bit like the smell of laundry detergent on a clothes rack, and a bit like the smell emanating from the furniture.
It's hard to describe the taste, but every household has it, only the taste is different.
Even with your eyes closed, you'll know you're home just by smelling this scent.
Yu Mobai smelled the unique scent of his own home, and felt inexplicably at peace, so he quickly fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already past 11 p.m.
The light from his parents' room shone through the crack in the door into the living room, and the occasional sound of turning pages could be heard from inside. Yu Mobai knew that Yu Jinsheng was checking the accounts.
"Stop calculating, let's go to sleep."
Zheng Zhaoxia went to bed early. Annoyed by the sound of papers being turned over, she simply got out of bed and turned off the light with a "click".
The bedroom suddenly became pitch black, with only rustling sounds coming from outside, which must be Yu Mobai getting up and looking for food in the kitchen and living room.
Yu Jinsheng listened intently for a moment, then said, "You just said you cooked noodles for him..."
"I'm a sage, I can even predict exactly when he'll wake up."
Zheng Zhaoxia snorted coldly, "I'm already being generous by preparing it for him and putting it in the kitchen. You expect me to go out and cook for him?"
Yu Jinsheng dared not bring up the topic again. "Then why did you turn off the light? I need to settle the score."
"Then you can go to the kitchen to calculate it."
Zheng Zhaoxia suddenly sat up. "Your son is in the kitchen, so it'll save electricity if the two of them work together!"
