Ning Zhihuan watched Chen Zhu leave until she disappeared from his sight, then he turned around and walked in one direction.
I just saw someone I know, but I don’t know if it was him.
Although there is a high probability that you will not meet him here, it is nice to try your luck.
I walked in that direction until I came to an alley, where I saw a tall figure standing in front of a tea vendor, picking and choosing something.
"Xiao Yuchi?" Ning Zhihuan called out tentatively. The man turned around, and his small figure met his eyes.
If it’s not Xiao Yuchi, then who else could it be?
Ning Zhihuan was a little surprised, but not shocked. He walked up to her and said in a familiar manner, "I knew it was you!"
Perhaps because he was too happy, he patted Xiao Yuchi's shoulder.
Xiao Yuchi's eyes were fixed on the place she had just photographed, and he frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Why aren't you talking?" Ning Zhihuan asked, wondering why he didn't recognize her after not seeing her for a few days.
What Ning Zhihuan didn't know was that Xiao Yuchi always kept strangers at a distance. He didn't care about the other person's face or thoughts when he spoke or did things. He did whatever made him feel comfortable. You could tell from the way Ning Hong was so angry that she cried.
The reason why I feel special towards her is that I feel like she helped me, so I owe her.
But after Uncle An gave them the money, they no longer owed each other anything and became strangers with no relationship at all.
Seeing that Xiao Yuchi remained silent, Ning Zhihuan waved his hand, as he was used to it.
She lowered her head and fumbled for something in her bag, and Xiao Yuchi watched her busying herself with her head down.
It was a green and somewhat worn Jiefang bag. There were many strange things in the bag, including a lot of thread, a needle and needle disc, and some coins... Xiao Yuchi's attention was attracted by a book called "The Book of Changes". This kid... is still reading this?
“Found it!”
Ning Zhihuan excitedly raised an envelope and stuffed it into Xiao Yuchi's arms.
Xiao Yuchi was still distracted when he was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of this thing in his arms. He was a little surprised.
Ning Zhihuan said, "Micai is just wild vegetables here. I know you're used to eating delicacies from land and sea, so you think these wild vegetables are precious, but they are not. So I won't charge you. Five hundred yuan, not a cent less. Please order."
Ning Zhihuan pursed her lips, motioning him to open it and take a look.
As if possessed by some mysterious force, Xiao Yuchi took out the money, which consisted of four muddy hundred-yuan bills and a hundred-yuan coin in change.
Seeing Xiao Yuchi staring at the loose change in silence, Ning Zhihuan thought he was angry and said with a guilty conscience, "This... this was an accident. Your money was stolen, and I went to great lengths to find it, and then I paid the difference."
It’s really not her fault. She originally wanted to exchange it for whole money, but no one was willing to do so with her.
First, there are not many people who have such large-denomination banknotes on hand. Second, even if people have them, they will not exchange them and will think you have some conspiracy.
She didn't know how many times she had been looked down upon and suspected while asking questions like this, and she felt tired just thinking about it.
She just wanted to sigh and say, can't people have more trust in each other?
Later, when she sold clothes, no one gave her a hundred yuan. Generally, she was given whatever the asking price was. Although this saved her the trouble of paying more, it also meant that she could not get the full amount in exchange.
I was originally thinking of trying my luck again, but I caught a glimpse of those cold eyes in the crowd.
She recognized him at first sight.
So the auction was hastily ended and people rushed over. Some people didn't have time to increase their bids and were very dissatisfied.
Money can be earned again, but there is no guarantee that you will meet Xiao Yuchi again.
So she did it almost without hesitation.
The money has been in her hands for many years, and just because she found it once doesn't mean she can find it a second time.
Ning Hong has already had evil intentions and is a person with bad intentions. Who knows what she will do for money.
As the saying goes, you're not afraid of thieves stealing, you're afraid of thieves thinking about it, so she hurriedly returned the money.
Xiao Yuchi was a little surprised. All the money he had given out over the years had never been returned.
Money is so precious in this era, it is more important than anything else.
Money can buy food so you won’t be hungry, money can buy clothes so you won’t be cold... Money can do a lot of things.
So most of the people around him over the years are after money.
He is also used to using money to solve problems and to draw a line between himself and the people around him.
So, Ning Zhihuan was the first one to refuse his money.
Strangely, he didn't feel annoyed, but rather interested. He asked, "If you don't want money, what do you want?"
He stared at the girl's red lips, waiting for her answer.
"I don't want anything." Ning Zhihuan answered promptly and decisively.
"You don't want anything?" Xiao Yuchi was slightly surprised and asked back.
"I don't want anything." Ning Zhihuan nodded and repeated the sentence again.
Xiao Yuchi was even more shocked.
He originally thought that Ning Zhihuan didn't want money in order to establish connections, and he thought this chubby little daughter was very smart, and of course, a little greedy.
But I didn't expect that she didn't want anything.
If this came from someone else, it would be fine.
But he had seen the Ning family, and they were not rich. Because they had many children, they could even be considered poor.
Even if these five hundred yuan can improve their lives, she still won't take it?
Xiao Yuchi frowned.
Ning Zhihuan didn't care what he was thinking, waved his hand and was about to leave.
But he was stopped by Xiao Yuchi.
She looked at him in confusion, "Why, is there less money?"
Although it is unlikely, we cannot rule out the possibility that he has less money as he has been running around with money these days.
Otherwise she couldn't find any other reason.
"You don't understand the Book of Changes." Xiao Yuchi said this out of the blue.
Ning Zhihuan realized belatedly that it was the somewhat metaphysical book in his bag.
"You understand?" Ning Zhihuan's tone was a bit joking, but he was not angry.
She had seen too many cases in her previous life where people were looked down upon just because she was young.
Xiao Yuchi seemed to have read a lot of books, but she didn't think he was knowledgeable about this kind of thing.
"I've seen it." Xiao Yuchi nodded seriously.
Now it was Ning Zhihuan's turn to be surprised. She didn't expect that such a cold and aloof person would go to see this. She had only seen everything she needed to see in her previous life, and she was just looking for something new in her new life.
"Then tell me about the Plum Blossom Formation."
Xiao Yuchi didn't answer. Ning Zhihuan thought he was bragging and wanted to mock him.
Seeing him suddenly approach, the distance between them was so close that they could hear each other's breathing.
"256 pages."
"What?"
When Ning Zhihuan came to her senses, the "Book of Changes" in her bag had been taken away by the man.
His handsome fingers flipped the pages of the book, making a rustling sound.
"Page 256, Plum Blossom Formation."
He put the book in front of Ning Zhihuan.
