Looking at Xiaobai's fearless and selfless eyes, I couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha......"
I haven't laughed like that in a long time. I laughed so hard I didn't know how to behave, and he just stared at me blankly.
Fortunately, he didn't look at me like I was crazy, perhaps because I was his savior.
After I finished laughing, I wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes.
"Hehe, what are you thinking? Why would I keep you as a mistress?"
"Then... then why did you spend so much money?"
Does this even need a reason?
“Of course, there needs to be a reason for this.” He nodded seriously.
In the dim light, the alluring spotlight swept across his face.
In a hazy vision, I think I saw Youan.
Without realizing it, I reached out and gently rubbed his head.
"No reason is needed, I just want to help you."
The coldness deep in Xiao Bai's eyes visibly faded, but he still seemed unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Sister, you..."
"Just call me Sister Wanyin."
"Okay, Sister Wanyin, I will definitely pay you back in the future."
Then he took a wad of banknotes out of his pocket and placed it in front of me.
"This is the salary I just received, a total of 2830 yuan. I kept 180 yuan for food, and the rest is yours."
"Are you from Jinshan City? If not, it would be best to give me a bank card number."
“I deposit the money on this day every month.”
Listening to his words, a bold idea suddenly popped into my head.
"Qin Bai, you're working here to earn money for your mother's medical treatment, right?"
"That's right."
"In that case, how about I introduce you to a job with a salary that's at least ten times higher than here?"
He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head embarrassedly.
"Sister Wanyin, thank you for your kindness, but I still want to try to make a living through my own efforts... I'll sell my art, not my body."
Seeing his somewhat adorable expression, I mischievously curled the corners of my mouth.
I can't really explain what I'm feeling right now, I just want to tease him a little.
"Didn't you just say you wanted me to take care of you? Why is it not possible now?"
Xiao Bai argued, "This is different. I don't know the person you're introducing, maybe..."
He muttered under his breath, "She might be a woman in her sixties. I'd better pass."
"Oh~~~ I get it, so you want me to keep you as a sugar daddy?"
"No, I...I..."
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore."
Seeing the embarrassed look on the young man's face, my mood improved a bit.
"Here's what we'll do: take the money back first, and we'll talk in detail after you get off work. It's definitely not what you think."
"All right."
He carefully collected the money from the table and then went back to work.
After he got off work, we went back to my hotel together.
After he came in, he didn't look around randomly; he just sat there quietly.
I took a bottle of drink and handed it to him.
"Thank you, Sister Wanyin."
"You don't need to be so polite with me. Actually, you don't need to overthink it. There are reasons why I'm helping you."
"Would you mind telling me?"
"Actually, you look a lot like my younger brother."
"Where is he now?"
"He... went to a very far away place."
I casually stated this fact.
"I'm sorry, I brought up something that upset you."
Xiao Bai looked at my expression and instantly understood the meaning of that place.
He took a deep breath, and a look of relief appeared on his face.
After struggling through a muddy life for a long time, one will always be wary of those who show kindness.
I can understand that; there are advantages to being more realistic.
After taking a sip of his drink, he asked, "Sister Wanyin, what kind of job are you talking about?"
"It's nothing really, just accompanying me to travel around different places. But don't worry, there won't be any danger."
Xiao Bai never expected this kind of job.
He asked, "Could I ask why?"
"Because you look a lot like him."
I told him the answer truthfully.
Since I can't take Youan all over the world, perhaps he's a good candidate.
He sat there with a slight frown, as if he was hesitating about something.
Are you worried about your mother?
Xiao Bai nodded gently.
“I’ve already thought it through. I will hire two caregivers to take care of her daily needs, and they will be even more attentive than you are.”
"The college entrance exam is in a few months, I'm scared..."
"No problem, I'll bring you back then, and I'll also teach you lessons in my spare time."
"This...do you know how?"
Seeing his questioning look, I angrily put my hands on my hips.
"How dare you look down on me? Let me tell you, I used to be a top student too."
"Oh, I see. Sister Wanyin is amazing."
Seeing his genuine praise made me incredibly proud.
That night, we talked a lot, without delving into too many private matters.
He is very guarded and has high emotional intelligence. Whenever his private matters are touched upon, he skillfully changes the subject.
I didn't ask too many questions, and genuinely treated him like a younger brother.
Just seeing him sitting beside me calms my restless heart.
