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

What's a little compensation to him?

She took out a key and handed it to him, saying, "You'll be staying here for the next two weeks."

"And you? Where do you live?"

"I live downstairs."

"Huh? Downstairs? You rent two apartments? That's too extravagant of you."

“No, this house is rented by me, the house downstairs…” she looked at Fu Huaiyi and said, “I borrowed it.”

Lin Ping followed her gaze.

What's wrong?

You let me live in the house you rented yourself? You've moved into someone else's home?

"Sis, sis, let's squeeze in together, but you...you can't do it..."

"Ahem." Seeing that people had misunderstood, Fu Huaiyi stepped forward to explain, "The house belongs to my sister. My sister went back to her hometown, so no one lives in the house."

Lin Yuyao pushed Lin Ping and said, "What are you thinking? That house belongs to my boss. My boss is Brother Fu's sister."

what?

His sister? His sister is your boss.

"Hehe, then it's alright."

"Idiot, go take a shower, you stink."

"Hey."

"I'll wait for you downstairs. I'll come down when I'm done washing."

"to make."

Lin Ping opened one of the large bags to look for his clothes, then went to take a shower.

Lin Yuyao went downstairs, and Fu Huaiyi followed her downstairs.

He checked the time and said, "Let's go out for dinner later, it's almost six o'clock."

Lin Yuyao thought about how she had always said she would treat him to a meal, but she had never had the chance.

Since I've already taken the day off, I'll just do it today.

"Sure, but I don't know which restaurants are suitable. You're familiar with this area, do you have any recommendations?"

"Let's go to the place where we had our first meal together."

She remembered that the first place she ate with Fu Huaiyi was in Chenshan Town, but it was late at night, and she was unfamiliar with the area and had no idea where it was.

All I remember is that the price wasn't cheap.

Lin Yuyao has some money now, and since people have helped her so much, it's only right that she treats them to a nice meal.

"Okay, let's go to that one then."

They waited for Lin Ping in the room while the fan was blowing, and they chatted for a bit.

"By the way, I heard from Yi Yunshuo that you went to Lu Jiangting to ask for the money back this morning. Did you get it all back?"

"We wanted it, but we haven't been able to get it all back yet."

Why weren't they caught?

"The IOU was originally with my mother. I asked Lin Ping to bring it over. He should have brought it by now. I'll ask him in a bit. We still owe forty yuan. We'll exchange the money for the IOU."

Lin Yuyao was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Lu Jiangting has probably gone back to the military region again. I wonder when he will come out next time."

"Are you still going to wait for him at the door?"

Lin Yuyao shook her head.

I thought to myself that if I did this kind of thing too much, I might get called in and criticized.

It's her fault for not having the IOU in her possession this time; she's in the wrong.

I've heard that Fu Huaiyi has some connections, so he certainly doesn't need to worry about these things.

But she was just an ordinary citizen, so she still had some concerns.

“I’m not going. Going to the military region to collect debts is fine once, but going too often might have a bad influence. Fang Qing and her son live in the building across the street. Lu Jiangting will visit them often. Let’s wait until he gets out before we talk about it.”

"Okay, I'll call you when he gets out, I'll call the bookstore."

"Okay, thank you very much."

After waiting for a while, Lin Ping came down, smelling of lemon from an old strongman.

"Sis, where did you buy your soap? It smells so good."

Lin Yuyao: “…”

This soap, it seems, was bought by Fu Huaiyi?

He bought several, and she still hasn't finished using them all.

Lin Yuyao didn't answer that question, but instead asked him, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm hungry, I've been hungry for ages."

"Come on, I'll take you to dinner."

"Oh, well, I haven't had a proper meal in three days."

Lin Yuyao then realized that the restaurant was actually very close to where she lived, only about a ten-minute walk away.

Neither Lin Yuyao nor Lin Ping knew how to order, so they let Fu Huaiyi order.

Lin Yuyao thought that since she was inviting people to dinner, they should be the ones to order.

Moreover, Fu Huaiyi is familiar with this place.

Fu Huaiyi ordered several of the restaurant's signature dishes, and knowing that people from Lin Yuyao's hometown preferred spicy food, he also ordered a particularly spicy dish.

As soon as it was time to pay, Lin Yuyao excused herself to go to the restroom, but actually went to settle the bill.

When I asked, I found out that I had been charged again.

Lin Yuyao: “…”

"Impossible, he never left. When was the bill settled?"

"Mr. Fu doesn't need to pay himself, just put it on the tab. Our shop owner is his uncle."

what?

"Then don't put this meal on the tab, I'll pay for it."

Lin Yuyao quickly took out some money and tried to stuff it into the waiter's arms, but the waiter didn't dare to take it. He said, "Miss, don't make things difficult for me. You should discuss this with Mr. Fu. He has already given instructions. I can't accept it. I still have to work."

After saying that, the waiter quickly ran away.

Lin Yuyao: “…”

Lin Yuyao had no choice but to return to her seat and interrupt Fu Huaiyi and Lin Ping's conversation.

"Brother Fu, didn't we agree that I would treat you to a meal? They won't accept it."

Fu Huaiyi: "Oh, you can treat me to dinner next time. This time it's on me."

what?

Next time?

She finally got this opportunity, and she doesn't know when she'll get another chance.

Fu Huaiyi said, "That's right. Actually, today is my birthday, so I should treat you to this meal."

Lin Yuyao was taken aback. "Huh? Why didn't you say so earlier? I didn't prepare any gift."

"No need, birthdays are no big deal. My parents aren't here, and no one celebrates my birthday with me. I'm just happy to have you all with me this year."

Lin Yuyao: "..." Is that so?

Fu Huaiyi looked at Lin Yuyao and said, "Besides, didn't you give me a book this morning? It's the best gift I've received this year."

Does this count?

Lin Yuyao didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lin Ping, who was standing nearby, kept staring at them, and vaguely sensed something different.

However, he was talkative and kept offering drinks to Fu Huaiyi.

"Brother Fu, I'm sorry, I'm still a student and can't drink alcohol, so I can only offer you a soft drink."

Fu Huaiyi smiled and said, "It's alright, I don't drink either."

Lin Yuyao: "..." Who was the one who got completely drunk last time?

"Oh, really? Do you smoke?"

I don't smoke.

"That's good. It's good that he doesn't drink or smoke. It's best for a man not to smoke or drink. In my hometown, there's a guy who really likes to drink. Every time he gets drunk, he beats his wife, and each time it gets worse."

The day after the beating, he knelt down and apologized to his wife, promising never to drink again. But a few days later he was drinking again, and continued beating his wife. Even after sobering up, he continued to apologize. And then, guess what happened?

Fu Huaiyi's face was grim. Upon hearing Lin Ping's words, he turned his gaze away from Lin Yuyao.

"What's wrong?"

"Later, his wife also started drinking."

Fu Huaiyi: "..."

"and then?"
