Birthday Present (2)
It couldnât be the regular, legal ones, because minors werenât allowed inside, so they could only go to underground internet cafes.
Neither of them had much experience. After searching all over the place, they finally found an internet cafe that was relatively remote and looked legal, but in fact secretly serviced minors.
Jiang Xiaoman was very excited. She went in with excitement, but came out in disgust. Overall, she didnât stay long inside.
Underground internet cafes were not fun at all!
There were a lot of people inside and it was very noisy, and most importantly, it reeked of cigarettes inside, which was very unpleasant to her. So many people smoked inside, everyone was breathing each-otherâs secondhand smoke.
Jiang Xiaoman felt very uncomfortable and her face was full of disappointment.
She thought it would be a fun place.
When she glanced at Yu Qingshi, she found that his complexion was not very good, and Jiang Xiaoman felt a little guilty.
If it had not been for her, Yu Qingshi would definitely not have come to this place.
âWait for me here, Iâll buy you a cup of milk tea as an apology.â
Before Yu Qingshi could say anything, Jiang Xiaoman already ran away.
She ordered a cup of sweet milk tea with pudding for herself. Yu Qingshi didnât like sweet and oily drinks, so she ordered him a cup of 7Up2.
When Jiang Xiaoman came back with the drinks, she found that Yu Qingshi was missing!
Where did he go?
Warning bells sounded inside her head, and she looked around with alert eyes. Was Yu Qingshi abducted by a kidnapper?
âYu Qingshi?!â Jiang Xiaoman shouted.
She was anxious and started looking for him.
At this time, Yu Qingshi was in the game hall next door.
Game halls were a new thing at that time. They had arcade gaming machines that you could play with coins.
He didnât stumble upon it by himself; someone had called him over.
The game hall and the internet cafe were close to each other. When Yu Qingshi was standing there waiting for Jiang Xiaoman, someone saw him and brought him here.
If it was a regular person, Yu Qingshi probably would ignore them. But the other party could barely be called an acquaintance; it was Sun Xiaojie whom he almost fought with in the bathroom last time.
Yu Qingshi hesitated for a moment, knowing that the other party had a lot of people. If Jiang Xiaoman found out right now, it could cause a big uproar, so he had to come along.
He wanted to see what Sun Xiaojie had up his sleeve.
Sure enough, there were more than a dozen people who were all bunched together.
âLend me some money.â Sun Xiaojie said.
Yu Qingshi was taken aback for a moment, âWhat?â
ââ¦I said, lend me some money first, this is an emergency.â Sun Xiaojie gritted his teeth, his voice very low, âHow about it, young man. I heard that your family is quite rich, how could you not have such a small amount of money to help a brother in jianghu in an emergency?â
Yu Qingshi didnât say anything yet when suddenly a cold rebuke came, âWhat are you doing?â
ââ¦â
Everyone looked over and found that Jiang Xiaoman was standing at the door angrily, her eyes widened. She rushed in and pointed at Sun Xiaojie, cursing, âYou still dare to blackmail people? Youâre finished, no more chances for you.â
She moved her fingers as she spoke.
â!!!â Sun Xiaojie was anxious, secretly screaming inside that he was in deep trouble. He hurriedly said, âIâI was not blackmailing anyone!â
âI heard everything. You still dare to try weasel your way out?â Her ears were pretty good!
âI was going to borrow it!â
âAfter you borrowed the money, will you pay it back?â
âOf course!â Although he looked a little bit fierce when borrowing money, he was the boss so he couldnât help keeping up appearances!
Jiang Xiaoman had to look at Yu Qingshi, and Yu Qingshi said that he didnât know what was going on.
âItâs like thisâ¦â Sun Xiaojie had to tell the whole story while trembling.
In fact, today was his birthday. He was very happy, so he wanted to invite his brothers to the game hall to have a good time.
They were regular customers here. The boss knew them and heard that it was Sun Xiaojieâs birthday. He waved his hand and told them to play first, and pay later after they had a good time.
As a result, Sun Xiaojie ended up not having enough money!
Sun Xiaojie didnât know where to put his face; he was anxious and didnât know what to do. At that moment, he saw Yu Qingshi standing at the door of the Internet cafe, so he invited him over and wanted to borrow some money.
Jiang Xiaoman was very angry and wanted to scold him, but thinking that today was his birthday, it wouldnât be very good to be too fierce.
âI can lend you the money first, but remember to pay it back.â
âWuu wuu wuu, eldest sister, you are so kind.â
âIâm younger than you, donât call me eldest sister, youâre making me seem old.â
âOkay, eldest sister.â Sun Xiaojie went to check out at the cashier with a complicated mood.
When he came out, he found that Jiang Xiaoman was still there and didnât leave.
â?â Sun Xiaojie asked her. âThis isâ¦?â
Jiang Xiaoman felt a bit uncomfortable, but she felt that she couldnât ignore and leave so many people alone, so she said, âIsnât it your birthday today? I thought about it and decided to give you a birthday gift. Happy birthday.â
Sun Xiaojieâs eyes turned red. He had lived for so long, and this was the first time a girl gave him a birthday present. He immediately asked eagerly, âWhat is it?â
âI went to the copier just now.â Jiang Xiaoman took out dozens of papers from her bag and put them on Sun Xiaojieâs hands. âDonât go anywhere today. Why donât we do homework together?â
ââ¦â
Jiang Xiaoman didnât know what Sun Xiaojieâs group were thinking, but she collected a lot of negative emotion points.
