After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

Today is Friday, he has tomorrow off.

It looks like he's going back to his cousin's house.

They have such good benefits; while others only get one day off a week, they usually get two days off a week.

Special treatment for exceptional talents.

"Brother Fu, wait a moment."

Lin Yuyao called out, and Fu Huaiyi, who was in front, stopped.

Lin Yuyao jogged up to catch up and asked with a smile, "Are you here to help Sister Leyi look at houses again?"

"Yes, houses that are not usually lived in still need to be ventilated frequently."

"That's true." She nervously squeezed her bag. "Brother Fu... shall we go up together?"

"Hmm." A sound made by the movement of the Adam's apple.

He appeared calm, but was actually very nervous inside, his thoughts wandering far away.

Following behind her, my mind was filled with thoughts of what she meant by calling me upstairs together.

He never knew that a secret crush could be so agonizing and tormenting.

Yearning yet escaping, sweet yet bitter.

He would unconsciously try to decipher the meaning behind her every subtle movement and every simple word she uttered.

Perhaps there is no deeper meaning at all, but he magnifies every detail of each person infinitely.

He dared not speak, dared not say more, for saying too much would easily lead to a mistake.

But in each moment of silence, his heart pounded.

This sweet yet apprehensive feeling lasted until she took out four hundred yuan.

"Brother Fu, thank you for taking care of me these past few days. This four hundred yuan is what I owe you, plus a little interest. I hope you won't refuse."

In the sweltering summer heat, his heart was already chilled even before the fan was turned on.

So, the reason she took the initiative to find him and even followed him into the fourth-floor apartment was... to repay the money?

Fu Huaiyi stared at the four hundred yuan, speechless for a long time.

This made Lin Yuyao very nervous.

He stood there motionless, without any expression. What did that mean?

Could it be that she miscalculated?

That's impossible. She went to nearby furniture and appliance stores to find out the prices first.

The clothes are all brand-name, and the prices seem about the same after calculating.

"Brother Fu?"

Her arms were almost too weak to lift.

Her voice brought his wandering thoughts back to reality.

Fu Huaiyi: "Where did you get the money?"

Oh, so that's what it is.

Lin Yuyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've been writing a book these days, and this is the money from selling it."

Ok?

"You wrote a book?"

"Yes, it's already been sold to a publishing house in Yunhua. I received the money a few days ago, but I haven't had a chance to give it to you until now."

Yunhua Publishing House?

Fu Huaiyi suddenly realized.

He remembered that the Chen family's son worked at Yunhua Publishing House.

So that's why she got to know Chen Bingzhi?

"Such a big thing, how could you..." Wait, no, that's not right.

He almost said, "Why didn't you contact him about something this big?"

He will have better channels to help her obtain better resources and better prices.

But... why did they tell him?

In her heart, he was probably similar to Lu Jiangting—people who had little to do with each other.

Thinking of this, he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Lin Yuyao understood what he meant.

She said, "Brother Fu, you've already helped me so much, I'm embarrassed to bother you any further. I happen to work at a library and keep an eye on some publishing channels, so I went there myself."

"Yes, Yunhua Publishing House is also quite good."

Lin Yuyao nodded, then raised the money a little higher, "Then please accept this money."

There's no escaping it.

But he clearly remembered what she said: "Where the money is, there the heart is."

Forget four hundred yuan, he really wanted to give her all his wealth.

But she didn't even want four hundred yuan.

Ugh!

Fu Huaiyi had no choice but to accept it.

"it is good."

Once he accepted the money, did he consider their relationship over?

Fu Huaiyi thought for a moment and then said, "I remember you said before that you would treat me to a nice meal once you made money?"

what?

Lin Yuyao was a little confused.

Oh right, she almost forgot, she did say that.

Lin Yuyao nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, it's just that our rest times are different, so we haven't been able to find an opportunity."

Fu Huaiyi breathed a sigh of relief.

They can't settle their scores.

There's still one meal to go.

My pitifully thin connection depends on this meal.

He must cherish it and make good use of it.

"Yes, there's no rush. Let's talk about it later. I'll come find you when I have the chance."

"Ok."

After saying a few words, Lin Yuyao left, and Fu Huaiyi didn't dare to stop her.

After all, it was getting late, and he didn't want her to think that his care for her was for ulterior motives.

The next day, he went to the bookstore and sat there for half a day.

In the past, Lin Yuyao would help him register when he borrowed and returned books, but after what happened last time, she stopped interfering.

When she sees him coming, she will deliberately avoid him or busy herself with other things, so that the other two people will come over to help him register.

But this time was different. She warmly took the book from his hand, returned it for him, and even introduced two new books.

Fu Huaiyi was both amused and exasperated, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Because this means that he is safe in her heart and has become that helpful "good person" again. Should he be happy or sad?

……

When Lin Yuyao went to the restaurant next door to get lunch at noon, she unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance, Fang Qing and her son.

"Yuyao? What are you doing here?"

Seeing the surprise on Fang Qing's face, and realizing that this encounter was indeed accidental, she had no idea she was here.

Lin Yuyao looked down at the fish and meat on their table, and her son was eating with his mouth full of oil.

She grinned and asked, "Sister Fang, are you here on vacation with your child?"

what?

"It seems that Sister Fang's hair salon is making a lot of money. I just wonder when Sister Fang will pay back the money she borrowed from me."

Ok?

The proprietress looked at them curiously.

Fang Qing felt extremely embarrassed as she caught the gazes of those around her. "Yu Yao, I'm so sorry, my hair salon went out of business, and the money I borrowed from you... I'm afraid it will be a while before I can pay it back."

"Oh, is that so? That's a real shame. I feel sorry for your hair salon going out of business, but you still need to pay me back the money you borrowed as soon as possible. It was my dowry from my parents, and they didn't have much money; it was all borrowed. To pay it back, I've been living frugally, eating only tofu every day..."

As she spoke, she looked pitiful and even swallowed hard at the meat on the table.

"Sister Fang, please pay me back whatever money you have. I... I'm almost out of living expenses."

Fang Qing's face was extremely ugly.

Her son, who was only in kindergarten, didn't understand what was going on and continued to eat his meat heartily, glancing up every now and then.

"I...I don't have any money either," Fang Qing said softly.

Lin Yuyao's eyes reddened, and she said in a tearful voice, "Sister Fang, even if you're broke, you're still better off than me, right? You guys can still eat meat, but I can barely afford rice."

"How could that be? I heard you found a job here with a salary. We just arrived and haven't found any jobs yet."
