After putting down the phone, Ye Shuang looked at Bai Yuyou, who was quietly nibbling on a bun, and hesitated whether to ask her to go back to the room.
After all, it's hard to clarify their relationship now. Moreover, Chen Hai is a real gossip, and Ye Shuang is really afraid that this guy will scare the girl.
"My friend is coming up later. Why don't you go back to the room for a while?" After considering for a moment, Ye Shuang said to Bai Yuyou.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuyou's beautiful eyes dimmed a bit, and she lowered her head silently. "I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?" Ye Shuang was taken aback.
Bai Yuyou replied, "When you do something wrong, you should be locked up."
Ye Shuang frowned slightly. "Did your mother say that?"
Bai Yuyou shook her head and then said, "It wasn't my mother... That's what my classmates said. Sometimes when I do something wrong, I'm locked in the toilet and not allowed out."
"They said I can only come out after a day."
"It was very cold at night, and I was also very hungry."
The girl's narrative was very calm, but it made Ye Shuang feel a kind of indescribable depression, as if it was herself who was feeling the pain instead of the girl.
After finishing speaking, Bai Yuyou stood up and walked towards the room on her own.
"Wait a moment." Ye Shuang grabbed her wrist and pulled her beside him.
He stood up and bent slightly to be at the same eye level as Bai Yuyou. Ye Shuang stretched out his palm and gently held Bai Yuyou's face. The moment he touched it, it was very cold, but Ye Shuang still looked at the girl seriously.
"Listen, even if you do something wrong, no classmate has the right to lock you up. And most of the time, you didn't do anything wrong, understand?"
Bai Yuyou's eyes reflected Ye Shuang's face, and she seemed unable to distinguish right from wrong very well. "Is that so?"
"Don't you believe me?" Ye Shuang asked.
"I believe you."
"Good." Ye Shuang reached out and stroked the girl's head. His gentle gesture was like taking care of a fragile porcelain doll.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"I'm coming."
Ye Shuang stood up and walked to the door.
Behind him, Bai Yuyou subconsciously touched the remaining warmth on her cheek and just quietly looked at his back.
After opening the door, Chen Hai started cursing as he carried several large safe boxes.
"There's no elevator. Wearing a suit and climbing the stairs is exhausting me."
"Alright. You act as if you get no benefits from depositing such a large sum of money." Ye Shuang said. Then Chen Hai immediately noticed Bai Yuyou standing behind Ye Shuang.
His slightly chubby face froze for a moment, and even his gold-rimmed glasses on his nose tilted a bit. "This, this, you you..."
Chen Hai suddenly put his arm around Ye Shuang's neck and walked outside, then lowered his voice. "Are you really being supported? And by such a beautiful girl?!"
Ye Shuang was about to retort, but found that what Chen Hai said wasn't wrong. So he changed the subject. "She's my distant relative. Don't be so loud. You might scare her. This girl is rather introverted."
"Oh, that's okay then." After hearing that she was just a relative, Chen Hai heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought I had no chance."
Hearing what Chen Hai said, Ye Shuang felt something strange. "What do you mean by having no chance? Do you have feelings for me?!"
"Do I look like I do?"
"I think you're like a sweet potato."
"Damn it, you're playing dumb. You know that Chen Qin has feelings for you." Chen Hai glared. "Now that you're single, she's been asking me about you all day."
"Stop. Let's move the money first and get the main thing done." Ye Shuang said immediately.
"Okay."
Chen Hai walked into the room. Seeing Bai Yuyou standing quietly in the corner, he immediately said in a friendly and polite manner, "Little sister, I'm Ye Shuang's brother, Chen Hai."
Bai Yuyou nodded, but her gaze returned to Ye Shuang.
"Hey, why does your relative keep looking at you like that?" Chen Hai lowered his voice and nudged Ye Shuang with his elbow. "Could it be..."
"Shut up and get to work."
Ye Shuang crouched down and neatly put all the stacks of money into the large safe. Although Chen Hai had a lot of questions, he still helped organize the money.
After packing it all up, Chen Hai said, "I estimate it's about six million."
However, he didn't ask where the money came from.
"Did you drive here?" Ye Shuang asked.
"Of course."
Picking up the heavy box, Ye Shuang couldn't help but sigh. "I suddenly realize that even if money fell from the sky, I couldn't carry much of it."
"Bullshit. If money really fell from the sky, I'd be as fast as a lightning bolt."
Ye Shuang and Chen Hai carried the boxes filled with money. It was not easy to move them to the first floor. Bai Yuyou also followed and stood obediently behind Ye Shuang.
Chen Hai's car was parked in front of the unit door, a brand-new BMW X5.
After moving all the boxes to the trunk, Chen Hai motioned for Ye Shuang to get in the car. "Let's go."
After Ye Shuang got in, he saw that Bai Yuyou didn't get in the car immediately but just stood there looking at him.
"Come here." Ye Shuang said.
Only then did Bai Yuyou get in the car. Her cautious appearance made Ye Shuang secretly sigh. He really couldn't imagine what the girl had gone through.
When they arrived at the bank, after spending a lot of time counting the money, Chen Hai stood aside and said,
"It's indeed over six million. Six million and one hundred and five thousand. How do you plan to deposit it?"
"Six million in a large-denomination certificate of deposit, and use the one hundred and five thousand." Ye Shuang said.
"Okay. I'll take care of it for you. As for the proof of the large amount of cash, don't worry. Your card already has a large transaction record."
"Alright."
Ye Shuang originally planned to deposit the money into Bai Yuyou's card, but found that this girl didn't even know what a bank card was. And opening a new card for a large deposit was very troublesome. In the end, the money was deposited in Ye Shuang's card for safekeeping.
After walking out of the bank and seeing the millions in his card balance again, Ye Shuang felt a bit complicated.
"The previous thing was a lesson. Use these millions to stand up again." As if understanding Ye Shuang's thoughts, Chen Hai gently patted his shoulder.
"These millions aren't my money. Otherwise, why would I deposit them?" Ye Shuang said and lit a cigarette.
Chen Hai asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"I want to take a break for a while." Ye Shuang turned around and his gaze fell on Bai Yuyou behind him. "There are still some things I can't let go of."
"That's okay. It's better than disappearing. The most important thing is to have the courage to stand up again." Chen Hai couldn't help but sigh. "Oh, by the way, Chen Qin seems to know that you're with me. She's driving here now."
"Damn it. Do you really want to be my brother-in-law?" Ye Shuang's cigarette in his hand trembled involuntarily, and he rolled his eyes.
"It's not my fault."
"I'll take a taxi back." Ye Shuang said and pulled Bai Yuyou beside him to leave.
"Hey hey hey... I don't mind being a father figure either."
"Scram."
