It's already April, and the season when candied hawthorns and roasted sweet potatoes were everywhere is over.
Instead, the willow branches are turning greener, the girls are wearing increasingly lighter clothes, and spring is here with the scent of earth in the breeze.
It was already evening when Yu Mobai returned to Shengjing. He parked his car at the school gate and went straight into Shengda.
He had something to say to Ji Mushu, and the sooner the better, otherwise the effect would be less effective.
So he went straight to the girls' dormitory and made a phone call.
In the girls' dormitory, Ji Mushu was applying skincare products in the bathroom when she heard Hao Xinqing outside call out, "Mushu, your phone."
Who is it?
"I don't know, the note says 'dog thing'."
Hao Xinqing smiled and took the phone from her. "I bet it's Yu Mobai. No one else deserves that title."
Ji Mushu hesitated for only a moment before answering the call.
She answered the call because Yu Mobai had taken Ji Zhigang and Dong Muhong back home; she assumed Yu Mobai was calling to let her know they were safe.
"Wooden Comb, come down here, I have something to say to you."
"Is there something you need?"
"It's a very important matter, concerning Uncle Ji and Aunt Dong."
Yu Mobai's tone was very serious.
Upon hearing this, Ji Mushu assumed it was something urgent, so she went downstairs barefoot, without even changing her shoes, wearing only slippers.
Yu Mobai's car was parked downstairs in the girls' dormitory. He entered without any hindrance; even the security guards didn't stop him. That's probably the power of a Mercedes-Benz.
He leaned against the station, attracting the attention of many girls, and Yu Mobai greeted them with a smile.
However, some boys couldn't stand it and whispered insults at him, "Damn, what's he trying to prove? Just because he drives a Mercedes doesn't mean he's something special. He even comes downstairs in the girls' dormitory to show off."
Yu Mobai simply smiled at these comments. As a celebrity, someone who doesn't have rumors and slander behind their back isn't a celebrity; they're just a person with a name.
Just as he continued to look for girls at the door, Ji Mushu ran out wearing a coat.
Perhaps because she had been running, her hair was a mess, which made her look rather alluring in the night.
Many girls around saw Ji Mushu; she easily became the center of attention when she stood next to the handsome Yu Mobai.
Why did you call me?
The weather was still a bit chilly in April, and Ji Mushu only wore a light jacket.
"I have something important to tell you."
Yu Mobai said with a grin, "There are too many people around, why don't we get on the bus and talk?"
Ji Mushu glanced around and obediently got into the car.
"Speak, what is it?"
"I just wanted to talk to you about the medical expenses."
Yu Mobai said with a smile, "Aunt Dong and Uncle Ji spent a lot of money coming to Shengjing for medical treatment this time. Just now..."
"How much did it cost in total?"
Ji Mushu interrupted him immediately after hearing this, and then added, "Including the money for the nutritional supplements last time, I don't want to owe you anything."
Yu Mobai blinked, momentarily stunned.
What he originally wanted to say was that when he returned after sending Ji Zhigang back to the small county town, a large red envelope appeared in his pocket at some point.
Although I didn't see the exact amount, judging by the thickness of the fabric, it must have been quite a sum. This time, the medical and accommodation expenses have definitely exceeded the budget.
What puzzled Yu Mobai was that Ji Zhigang was downstairs trying to give him money, but he refused. Where did the money in the clothes come from?
He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. Anyway, it must be related to Ji Zhigang, so he might as well just return it to Ji Mushu and tell her that it was living expenses given to him by Ji Zhigang.
He absolutely cannot accept this money.
Otherwise, the meaning of all he did would be greatly diminished.
But Ji Mushu's sudden move made Yu Mobai decide against giving it to her, at least not now.
"All in all, it costs about three thousand yuan."
Yu Mobai deliberately said, "We're all acquaintances, I'll give you a discount, three thousand yuan will do."
"Oh, I'll pay you back."
Ji Mushu nodded her fair chin and repeated, "I will pay you back as soon as possible."
Have you ever heard the saying?
Yu Mobai changed his posture, resting one hand on the steering wheel, and slowly approached. "Medical expenses cannot be owed; it's bad luck."
"Anyway, I don't have any money right now."
Ji Mushu crossed her arms, turned her head slightly towards the car window, and frowned as if she was thinking about something.
"So now you know about loan sharks?"
Yu Mobai asked casually.
Ji Mushu is now like a flawless egg.
He was like a headless fly.
The egg had no cracks, so he didn't know where to start biting it.
But it was precisely because of this trip to the hospital that Yu Mobai, like a fly, suddenly discovered a crack.
A gap big enough for him to squeeze through!
An egg, once it's rotten and gets caught by flies, will spoil sooner or later.
Ji Mushu is the same. Once a crack appears, it's only a matter of time before this fly slowly destroys the hard shell of the egg.
This would reveal Ji Mushu's soft inner world, which would be a great thing for Yu Mobai.
Although he wasn't asking Ji Mushu to repay the money, as long as he could use this incident to change Ji Mushu's attitude, things would be much simpler from there.
What are you going to do?
For the first time, a hint of panic appeared on Ji Mushu's delicate face.
Yu Mobai caught her expression and said with a grin, "Do you know what methods those debt collectors use against female college students on campus?"
