Subconsciously, he held the money and the girl in his arms. At this moment, Ye Shuang's mind was a bit dazed. After all, the visual impact of the stacks of banknotes and the innocent-looking girl in front of him was too strong, so much so that Ye Shuang, feeling the glare, couldn't help but squint his eyes halfway.
Ye Shuang estimated that a stack of money was probably ten thousand yuan. Just these stacks in front of him were at least two or three hundred thousand yuan in cash. Since the popularity of mobile payment, Ye Shuang realized how heavy it was to hold hundreds of thousands of yuan.
"Wrap it first." After Ye Shuang carried the money and placed it on the table beside him, he found the bath towel that had fallen on the ground. He wrapped Bai Yuyou up again, looking somewhat like a zongzi.
Bai Yuyou had a good figure, but it was covered by the school uniform. His fingers accidentally slid across her skin, which was as soft and fragile as tofu. This made Ye Shuang wonder why a girl living alone had so much money and even proposed to support him.
She clearly didn't know what "support" meant just now.
A beautiful girl living alone with so much cash at home, Ye Shuang couldn't even imagine what dangerous things some people might do if they knew about this.
Not to mention that the security in this community was almost non-existent. The security guard in his seventies might even have trouble walking, let alone catching the bad guys.
Looking at the girl who was looking at him with a pair of quiet eyes, Ye Shuang couldn't help but feel worried about her living alone.
"Where did you get all this money?" For the sake of caution, Ye Shuang asked.
In response to Ye Shuang's question, Bai Yuyou simply replied, "My mother gave it to me."
Mother?
Could it be that there were no parents... Was it different from what he understood? Or did her mother leave her a large sum of cash before she passed away.
At this time, Bai Yuyou asked, "Isn't this enough to support you? I still have a lot..."
Ye Shuang: "..."
Pinching the space between his eyebrows, Ye Shuang sat on the chair and remained silent for a while. Then, looking at the girl's flawless and delicate face, his originally confused heart suddenly seemed to find a bit of direction, like a ship that had strayed finding the light of a lighthouse.
Perhaps all of this was destined. On a hazy rainy night in the city, he was picked up by such a girl who had no common sense.
The heavy rain outside was still falling, but at this moment, the rain in Ye Shuang's heart was gradually stopping, and the shadow that had shrouded him was gradually dissipating, revealing a trace of light.
Ye Shuang slowly walked to the table beside him, picked up a stack of banknotes, and said.
"In that case, I'll stay here for a while... until our relationship ends."
On a rainy night, a promise was made, and fate began from then on.
"En."
...
In the early morning.
Ye Shuang woke up when it was just getting light. There was no more sound of rain outside the window, and he could vaguely hear a few cheerful birdsong. The city looked extremely clean after being washed by the rain.
Ye Shuang tidied up the whole house. After thinking for a few seconds, he also washed the underwear on the ground. Only after seeing the tidy house did he feel a bit more at ease.
It was really magical. He was actually being supported by a beautiful girl. Looking at the house in front of him, Ye Shuang suddenly felt an unreal feeling in his heart.
Well... since he had made this decision, he shouldn't think too much about it.
He was still wet. After all, there couldn't be clothes for a man of his height in a girl's house. But this wasn't a big deal for Ye Shuang. He quickly fell asleep on the floor last night.
There was still no movement in the room. It seemed that the girl hadn't woken up yet.
"By the way, I haven't asked her name yet." Just as Ye Shuang was thinking this, he suddenly noticed the student ID card placed on the table beside him.
[Haizhu City Yinshan Academy
Name: Bai Yuyou
Class: Class A, Grade 3]
"Grade 3... She's probably around eighteen years old?" After silently memorizing her name, Ye Shuang picked up the key beside the table and went out directly.
Although he had lost his phone, fortunately, he still had his wallet, which was safely placed in the pocket of his upper garment. Although the wallet was empty and he couldn't take out a single banknote, his bank card was still there.
Ye Shuang planned to buy a phone first and then deposit the money. After all, in the information age, it was almost impossible to get around without a phone. Although he wasn't the type to stare at his phone all day long, it was very necessary to buy a phone.
Considering that he didn't have the conditions to shop online, Ye Shuang walked into a mobile phone store on the side of the road.
"What do you need?" The owner of the mobile phone store was a girl with a fringe and shoulder-length hair. Her hair was neatly arranged and looked very tidy. She was wearing a loose sweatshirt and long pants, and she looked a bit lazy with her headphones on at this moment.
She was probably about the same age as Bai Yuyou and looked quite cute.
"Are you here to look at phones or at women?" The girl spoke again, a trace of disgust appearing in her eyes.
Ye Shuang was taken aback. Then, he averted his gaze and looked at the glass display cabinet beside him. There were rows of mobile phones inside. Most of them were second-hand, mainly iPhones, and the rest were inexpensive hundred-yuan senior phones.
"I need a cheaper phone." Ye Shuang said.
"This Nokia, 150 yuan." The girl took out a keypad phone and placed it in front of Ye Shuang.
As she spoke, she also pressed a large button on the phone. The lens at the top of the phone suddenly lit up with white light. "By the way, it can also be used as a flashlight. Isn't it amazing?"
The girl's tone, as if she was introducing a piece of high-tech, made the corner of Ye Shuang's mouth twitch. He pointed at himself and asked, "How old do you think I am?"
Hearing this, the girl seriously examined his face. "Sixty?"
"Twenty-six!" Ye Shuang immediately said. "Have you ever seen a 26-year-old using a senior phone?!"
Hearing this, the girl looked away and made a clicking sound with her tongue.
"Did you just click your tongue?"
"No, customer. You heard wrong." After saying that, the girl pointed at a row of iPhones in the glass display cabinet. "If you want a smartphone, these are the ones."
"Anyway, they were all recycled second-hand due to various problems. See if you can find one that works."
Ye Shuang: "..."
Why were the girls he met recently all a bit abnormal?
Won't your mobile phone store go out of business like this?
"I don't want an iPhone. Do you have any Android phones to recommend?" Ye Shuang said.
His previous phone was an iPhone, and he was already fed up with the days of having to carry a power bank with him every time he went out.
"Oh, an Android phone?" Hearing this, the girl bent down and rummaged around. After a while, she took out a box.
"This one. Anyway, it has been at the bottom of the box and couldn't be sold. I'll give it to you at a low price."
Ye Shuang took a look and then asked, "Does it charge fast?"
"Probably. It can be fully charged in one go."
"Is there a phone that needs to be charged several times to be fully charged?!"
"Maybe. So, uncle, are you going to buy it?"
Being called "uncle", Ye Shuang felt as if he had been shot in the heart. He picked up the phone box, took a look at the approximate battery capacity, and then decided to buy it. "How much is it?"
"Six hundred yuan."
"Is it that cheap?"
"Oh, then six thousand yuan."
"Hey, the difference is too big, isn't it?!"
The girl in front of him made a cute, wide-eyed expression. "What a troublesome customer. This doesn't work and that doesn't work. You're not very good as a man, are you?"
Ye Shuang was a bit speechless. He took out the cash and counted out six banknotes. But when the girl saw this scene, she was slightly surprised. "Cash?"
"What's wrong with using cash?"
