Lin Momo took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and handed it to Shi Guang on the living room sofa, saying with a smile, "Have some water before you go."
Taking the water, Shiguang unscrewed the cap, took a sip, and said, "I've contacted a few more antique dealers, and two or three of them are quite interested in your copper coins. If you're too impatient to come forward, I'll help you sell them and transfer the money directly to your account."
"Forget it, I won't sell them for now. The money I made today is enough for me."
Lin Momo belongs to the type of person with very low material desires.
Even if I were to stockpile supplies, I would only plan to pick up the essential daily necessities first, and stockpile according to my own preferences.
After all, her space is limited, and her personal consumption is also limited. If she buys a bunch of things that she may not use, they will just be taking up space.
Shi Guang asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Didn't we agree on this? Why aren't you selling it anymore? Do you think you have too much money?"
Lin Momo smiled gently: "You've already helped me enough. You've been busy with me for the past two months, which must have caused you to miss a lot of things. Now, you... should also take care of your own things, spend time with your family, or connect with your friends, or take advantage of the May Day holiday to relax."
Time passed silently.
Lin Momo felt a pang of pity, but she hardened her heart. She was afraid that if she continued to wallow in this, she would become even more reluctant to leave him.
The same applies to time.
They were destined to reach this point anyway, so it was better to withdraw before they deeply loved each other. Even if it hurt, there would be limits, and time would heal them quickly.
Then, they returned to their original lives.
Lin Momo went into the bedroom, and when she came out again, she was holding the purse she had collected that day, and handed it to Shi Guang with a smile.
"What is this? A copper coin?" Shi Guang subconsciously took it in his hand, and guessed what was inside just by touching it.
“These 99 copper coins are my thank-you gift to you, to express my heartfelt gratitude for everything you’ve done for me,” Lin explained quietly. After a pause, as if remembering something, she added, “Oh, could you give me your account number so I can transfer the hospital fees to you? Or you can have cash.”
For any creditor, it is an extremely happy thing when the borrower takes the initiative to repay the loan.
However, at this moment, I didn't feel happy; instead, a bad feeling spread through my heart.
First, she gave him 5 million copper coins as a thank-you gift, and then she wanted to return the hospital fees. Does this mean that Lin Momo doesn't want to owe him anything and wants to settle every penny with him clearly and explicitly?
By treating him like a stranger and distancing herself from him, she clearly has no intention of accepting him back.
Was his beautiful dream so ruthlessly shattered by her?
He had no intention of getting the money back the moment he took it out.
Whether it was out of debt or guilt, he wanted to bind Lin Momo in his own way, to make the two of them intertwine like vines, inseparable.
For reasons unknown, Lin Momo is now trying to distance herself from him, so that neither of them owes the other anything.
Doesn't that mean that she can easily walk away whenever she wants?
How could time not bring sorrow and disappointment?
"Lin Momo, are you really going to settle things with me like this?" Shi Guang's good mood from the day was completely ruined in an instant. His face was ashen, and he looked up at her questioningly, "You're not going to leave me without saying goodbye, are you?"
Lin Momo's heart skipped a beat. Ignoring the question that followed, she forced a smile and said, "Even brothers need to keep clear accounts, right? Let alone you and me... who are not related?"
That was a bit hurtful.
But she had no choice but to say it.
"What a fine excuse of being unrelated?" Shi Guang laughed angrily, then retorted, "Lin Momo, is this how you see me?"
What he feared ultimately came to pass.
Despite the heartache, Shi Guang still tried to salvage the situation and calmly said, "How about this? I happen to be short of a secretary, so you can fill in. The hospital fees will be deducted from your salary. I only accept this repayment method. You choose?"
Ruolin silently accepted it, pretending that she hadn't said those heartless words, and that nothing had happened tonight.
He just couldn't understand it. Why couldn't she stay in Haishi, all alone, by his side so he could take care of her and cherish her? Why did she have to leave?
"Can you stop being so shameless?" Lin Momo was so angry she laughed. "Then I'll give you cash."
As she spoke, Lin Momo searched around the guest room for a bag to put the money in for him.
The takeout bag from last time looked pretty good quality and quite durable, so she kept it. Hmm, where did she put it? I think it's in the bedside table drawer.
Today we received cash in stacks of 50,000 each. If we have 480,000, 10 stacks should be enough.
"Bang!" Suddenly, a loud noise rang out in the quiet room.
Lin Momo, who was tidying up cash in her bedroom, was startled.
When I came out, time had already slammed the door and gone.
Dropping the bag in her hand, Lin Momo slumped to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
*
The street is brightly lit.
After leaving the hotel, feeling frustrated and with nowhere to vent, I drove my Maybach at breakneck speed, overtaking one car after another, which drew curses from many drivers.
Suddenly, his cell phone, which he had tossed onto the dashboard, rang.
He slightly loosened his foot on the accelerator pedal, grabbed his phone, quickly glanced at it, and then tossed it back in disappointment.
