The shop assistant had seen Ye Ying before and immediately understood that he wanted Ye Ying to give him a discount, and a 50% discount at that, half price.
It seems he'll need to come up with an excuse since he's asking him privately, not in person.
………
"Hello, gentlemen. Today is our store's anniversary celebration. Welcome to participate in the lucky draw..." Working isn't easy; you have to be perceptive, have ideas, and be quick-witted in crucial moments. The shop assistant wiped the cold sweat that had inadvertently trickled down his forehead.
ah?
"Is this for real?" Lin Jiaojiao thought to herself with a delighted scream, like a groundhog.
Wang Danu was also excitedly rubbing her hands together, hoping to have good luck in the lottery later.
Ye Ying watched silently from the side, everything understood without saying a word.
…………
"Ta-da! Congratulations to the three of you for winning our store's best event prize!"
"Wow...we're so lucky!"
Wang Daniu followed closely behind Lin Jiaojiao, exclaiming, "This is the first time I've ever won a prize; I've never done it before..."
Yingbao and Jiaojiao each paid half of their own food expenses, while Daniu won a free meal – it couldn't be more perfect!
………
On the way back to school, Ye Ying listened to Jiao Jiao and Daniu's noisy chatter without feeling annoyed at all. On the contrary, she was sometimes amused by their funny expressions.
The warmth and vibrancy of everyday life.
"Yingbao, where are you from?" Lin Jiaojiao and Wang Daniu were chatting when she suddenly turned around and asked curiously.
Wang Daniu also looked at Ye Ying, waiting for her answer.
"My old home was in a very beautiful place, with countless apricot blossoms and lots of little rabbits. It was called Apricot Blossom Village. Now, I live in Beijing." Ye Ying said, lost in memories.
Having lived here for decades, she can hardly remember what life was like in modern times!
She only thinks of Jesse, Tao Tao, and her unsold villa occasionally. She doesn't know if it's been taken away or sold, or maybe Jesse and the others left it for her in case she had nowhere to stay when she came back...
Ye Ying was thinking about this in her mind, trying to do two things at once.
modern.
"Peach... tell me... tell me... where did Yingbao go? How did she suddenly disappear?" The person in front of me was an old man in his fifties, Jesse.
His hair was completely white, he was no longer young, and his voice was hoarse and weak. He asked Tao Tao, who was also no longer young, while wiping the photos taken during their trip. He thought about Ying Bao and Tao Tao back then, how they would secretly eat junk food behind his back and never admit it.
Sometimes when he catches me red-handed, I'll forcefully recommend it to him.
Tao Tao gently took Ying Bao's photo and stared at it without blinking, as if she had returned to the time when she was Ying Bao's assistant. The three of them were so happy back then!
There's Jessie, there's Yingbao, and there's her. The three of them joke around and sometimes, when Yingbao doesn't have any plans, they'll even take a spontaneous trip.
…………
Instead of answering Jesse's question, Tao Tao asked, "Jesse, do you think... we can still wait for Shadow Treasure to appear? Will we be able to see Shadow Treasure in our lifetime...?"
Tao Tao touched her face and said, "Will Ying Bao become an old lady like me now?"
