Chapter 107

  "You you you."

  She pointed at me with a face full of grief and indignation, "You are not my good sister or close friend Xiao Su, you are my enemy."

  After finishing speaking, she made a vomiting gesture and put her bag on the ground with a painful expression.

  As I saw her putting the bag in front of her, I walked over and curiously asked: "What weird thing did your uncle give you again that makes you love and hate it at the same time?"

  Xiao Su pouted, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the zipper of that bag.

  Seeing her with an expression of wanting to jump into a river and commit suicide, I curiously approached her and looked inside the bag.

  "No, no way, is it that exaggerated?"

  This is simply unbelievable, I rubbed my eyes and looked into her bag again, no mistake, it was indeed a full bag of gold bars inside, this is too scary.

  "That's right."

  Xiao Su then pulled up the zipper of her bag, looking at me with a worried face: "Is it that I usually give people the feeling of being a girl who lacks money?"

  "No." I shook my head and said: "The impression you usually give to others is like that of a rich girl who has never had to worry about money, the kind who spends it without any restraint."

  "Well, it's still okay this way, at least better than being a beggar."

  She slightly put down her guard and nodded, then said: "Then what does it mean that my uncle gave me this bag of gold? Does he think I, Xiao Su, am very poor?"

  I shook my head again, "You should ask your uncle about this sentence, I'm not your uncle, how could I possibly know?"

  "Oh."

  She nodded slowly and squatted there again without making a sound.

  Let the silence be silent, but I didn't expect that this time she could be silent for so long. Probably after about twenty minutes or so, she was still squatting there motionless, not saying a word, completely just like a sculpture without any difference.

  I'm a bit worried about her, so I asked: "Xiao Su, is everything okay?"

  "No."

  She first shook her head and then nodded, looking up at me with a pitiful expression.

  Umm, let me take a moment to feel nauseous in my heart. This kind of cute and endearing gaze is really the first time I've seen it on her face, for a while, I really can't accept it.

  "Come on, say it quickly, what's going on?"

  She hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Xia Qinghe, do you think Tang Renjie will also find me pitiful?"

  Nothing.

  I didn't even think about it and directly gave her this answer. Looking at her with some hopelessness, I said: "Pitiful you? What does he have that makes him qualified to think you're pitiful?"

  "Really?"

  Another pitiful look.

  "Right."

  "I said to her with a definite expression: 'Although your mother abandoned you and Uncle Xiao, at least you know she's still alive. But my father and mother passed away when I was very young, and I'll never have the chance to see them again in this life. Compared to me, I think you're luckier. Although Uncle Xiao is busy with work and rarely has time to accompany you, his love for you is not less. And you have such a lovely uncle who always thinks of ways to make strange things to make you happy. To be honest, I'm really envious.'"

  After I said this, Xiao Su suddenly buried his head down.

  "Xia Qinghe, how about we split this bag of gold evenly between us?"

  Suddenly, she raised her head and said this sentence to me, which scared me a lot.

  "Haha, don't scare me like that." I shook my head and said: "I'm not used to having so much money, just remember to give me a few more 50 cents in the future, I don't want gold."

  "Don't you want these gold?"

  She looked at me with a surprised expression, and after seeing me nod, she suddenly seemed to make up her mind, raised her head and said firmly: "Then I don't want it either. Xiao Su is not short of money, so let's take these gold back to my uncle."

  "Go back?"

  I raised an eyebrow and looked at her, asking: "Do you think you can return the things your uncle gave you?"

  "I know I shouldn't go back, but secretly going back is fine, he'll never find out."

  She smiled slyly, took out a small gold bar from her bag and put it in her bosom, and said to me: "My excellent uncle is really something, what's in his brain? He wanted to give me some RMB, even if he gave me a bundle of RMB, it would be fine. Why did he have to give me a bundle of gold bars? Where can I spend them?"

  "What were you secretly hiding in your pocket?"

  I'll take care of her, just go straight through.

  Xiao Su's face sank, and he said to me: "Get a little meaning, and by the way, we still need to go buy clothes, all of which cost money."

  "Then don't buy it," I said.

  Xiao Su's face turned darker, "Xia Qinghe, are you sent by heaven to torment me?"

  "No." I shook my head and explained, "When you didn't tell me that this bag contained a package of gold bars, I would have accompanied you to go shopping for things. But now that I know what's inside the bag, how can I possibly put my mind at ease to accompany you to buy clothes?"

  "It's nothing, never mind, I'll just hold the bag in my arms and that's it. If we're really unlucky and some bad people target us and snatch the bag away, then so be it, after all, this gold isn't ours anyway."

  She smiled and said, with a relaxed face, as if the bag was filled not with gold but a package of cotton. However, even if it were just cotton, she couldn't let someone take it away from her without doing anything.

  "Alright, you follow me closely and stay right behind me. That way, if there really are bad people coming to rob us, I can react in time to help you."

  "Hmm... I almost forgot. Although Xia Qinghe isn't a Taoist master who can divine fortunes, she's still a demon-controlling master with some three-legged cat skills that can protect me."

  She smiled mischievously, with a completely heartless and ruthless look on her face.

  "Even if I'm just a three-legged cat in kung fu, I'm still better than you who can't do anything."

  I gave her a disdainful look, pushed her behind me with one hand, and walked towards the entrance of the alley, first looking left and right to make sure there were no bad guys following.

  Looking around this alley, apart from a few stray cats, there really isn't a single idle person in a place like this.

  "Let's go out, quickly find a place to buy two sets of clothes and change into them. Also, let's wash our faces, or else when we walk on the street later, we'll run into acquaintances who will ask us if we've been performing as beggars."
