Chapter 106

  Listening to her say this, the amount of money always comes back to that 50 cents. I thought to myself, can't our friendship of over a decade be worth her giving me a few more notes? It's really frustrating, and I couldn't help but feel unhappy inside.

  "50 cents, 50 cents! Xiao Su, you're being too generous with me. Coming and going, it's just a few 50-cent bills. Don't you know you should give me some red Mao notes?"

  She heard this and her eyebrows furrowed, she reached out and gently poked my forehead, looking at me with disdain: "Common, your thoughts are really common."

  "Ordinary ball, liking money is also ordinary?" I waved her hand away, displeased.

  "Hahaha..."

  She didn't look unhappy, but burst out laughing and asked me: "Even if I really gave you a lot of money, Xia Qinghe, would you dare to accept it? I think I'll give it to you, and you'll definitely get very angry and scold me, saying that I'm being condescending."

  When I heard this sentence from her, I was suddenly speechless.

  She's right, I hate other people's sympathy and pity.

  I said to her: "How much you give is your heart's intention towards me Xia Qinghe, whether or not to accept it and how much to accept, that's my meaning."

  "Alright alright alright, what a stubborn temper."

  After finishing speaking, he opened his mouth and burst out laughing loudly.

  "Stubbornness is actually a good virtue."

  As for her smile, I don't think so.

  "Oh, no."

  I hadn't said a word when Xiao Su suddenly said "No" and pushed me away with both hands, her face filled with horror as she exclaimed: "It's all over, it's all over, Xia Qinghe."

  "What's wrong?"

  Seeing her like this, I anxiously asked, looking at her with my eyes, the bag was still there, the clothes were not rotten, and the hair was fine without being disheveled like a female ghost.

  "Look."

  She stretched out her hand and trembled slightly as she pointed behind me, looking like she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

  "What's wrong with you? Who came that scared you so much?"

  I finished speaking with a smile, turned around and looked over, my eyes scanned the crowd for a moment before finally spotting a familiar face - Zhang Ruofei, wearing a light blue T-shirt, was walking towards us.

  "No, no, no, this can't be right! Why are we having such a terrible day today?"

  At this sight, I also became terrified and turned back to ask Xiao Su: "Do we still need to go buy clothes?"

  "Buy."

  This guy is fearless, with a resolute expression.

  "Still buying?"

  I can hardly believe it, at this time, she still has a mind to buy new clothes.

  Although I didn't want Zhang Ruofei to see me in this state, which is neither human nor ghost-like, for Xiao Su's sake, I can put up with it. There are many men in this world, but a good sister like Xiao Su is one of a kind.

  "Lotus in Summer Breeze."

  Just then, Zhang Ruofei's voice came over.

  I was just about to take a deep breath and go over to greet him, but my arm was unexpectedly grabbed tightly by Xiao Su.

  "Xia Qinghe, let's run away, I really can't face familiar people."

  Xiao Su said in a low voice, her tone full of pleading.

  Just now, she still looked fearless, but in a moment, she became afraid like this.

  I didn't have time to think much, I was faster than her, pulling her into the crowd, as the saying goes, "people block people, Buddha blocks Buddha", no living person can get close, and the consequences are self-inflicted, that kind of momentum is probably just like this.

  I just wanted to escape quickly and not be caught by Zhang Ruofei, so I didn't have time to look around, Xiao Su was dragged by me on the pedestrian path, desperately running wildly, panting non-stop.

  At last, when he fled into a deep alley with no exit, there was no longer the annoying sound of Zhang Ruofei's voice behind him.

  "What bad luck, what bad luck."

  Xiao Su had just started to crouch down and rest when his knee was only slightly bent, but suddenly there was another cry of pain, and he stood up again.

  "It hurts so much, it hurts so much, my leg hurts so much, I can't even squat down."

  She leaned against the wall of someone's residential building, like a tired gecko.

  "Right, right, we're really unlucky."

  I'm not much better than her, knowing how ugly this pose is, I still succumbed to reality and learned from her to do a gecko sticking on the wall once.

  Xiao Su glanced at me and asked, "We can run into familiar people everywhere we go. What should we do now? Shouldn't we have taken a good look at the almanac before leaving the house today?"

  I nodded vigorously on one side and echoed: "Yes, yes, we should have flipped through the Yellow Calendar before going out to decide whether to go shopping or not."

  "Wooo, you're actually the 13th generation successor of the Xia family's royal demon master! Before we left, why didn't you calculate our luck by counting on your fingers?"

  This guy is at it again, can't help but start complaining about me.

  "I'm just a demon hunter, not some Taoist master who calculates fortunes. How can I help you with this? It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'm really not capable of doing it."

  "Is it? I seem to always associate you with those fortune-telling old men, hehehe..." She turned her head around and gave me a flattering look.

  "How much longer do we need to hide in this alley?"

  "I don't know."

  I directly gave her three words.

  "Then do you think Zhang Ruofei is still around?" Xiao Su asked again.

  I shook my head and replied, "I don't know."

  Xiao Su didn't give up and asked again: "Then do you think that if we leave this alley, will we meet Zhang Ruofei again?"

  "I don't know."

  I threw these three words at her again.

  Xiao Su suddenly became angry and shouted loudly: "You only know how to say these three words, can't you give me a different answer?"

  "It's okay." I said with an innocent face, "I don't know anything."

  "You... you're going too far."

  She clutched her chest with her hand, as if in pain.

  "This is the most unlucky day of my life, I was doing fine, and finally had a chance to take advantage of you, but no, I had to go and pay the bill for you in a friendly manner. And then, out of sympathy for the poor old lady's difficult life, I couldn't help but give her a few more Mao Zedong notes. Tell me, isn't this just asking for trouble?"

  I said to her mercilessly, "You're in such a hurry to pay the bill not for my sake, but so you can quickly catch up with Tang Renjie. You gave the boss's wife an extra 200 yuan because you didn't know how much money we spent on food and drinks. Giving a few more was to avoid trouble, fearing that if you walked out the door, they would chase after you asking for more money. Most of it was to avoid trouble, and a small part was to save face."
