Carrying a bag full of glittering gold and colorful RMB, the buck-toothed man scurried up to Yu Ziqing, bowing and scraping as he said, “Boss, I’ve collected them all. Would you like to check them?”

Yu Ziqing took the shoulder bag, casually pulled out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to the buck-toothed man, saying indifferently, “I trust you to do things, this is a tip!”

The man with the buck teeth accepted the tip with a smug grin, feeling incredibly proud of himself.

Look at you all, lying on the ground groaning and groaning, while I’m not only perfectly fine, I even made a tip. That’s the difference, you know? The difference in intelligence!

Seeing Yu Ziqing, this jinx, and the damned robber strutting away with his heavy shoulder bag, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but let out a series of groans and moans.

“Tiger, Tiger, what do we do now?” After seeing Yu Ziqing off, Bucktooth hurriedly and ingratiatingly helped Tiger up.

“Get me to the hospital first!” Tiger roared, his face trembling uncontrollably.

Sitting in the taxi, Yu Ziqing smiled faintly and gently patted her heavy shoulder bag.

Although he suffered some physical pain and lost a Vajra Talisman, the satisfaction of being able to double-cross someone and make so much money in a short time gradually dissipated Yu Ziqing’s resentment.

As for whether Tiger and his gang would continue to cause trouble, Yu Ziqing didn’t care. He was never one to back down from trouble; if it was going to happen, he’d let it happen. Of course, not caring didn’t mean Yu Ziqing would be careless; he just didn’t want to spend too much time on it and didn’t want these messy things to spoil his mood.

The taxi drove towards Datang New Village. When the car reached a bridge overlooking the riverside park of Datang New Village, Yu Ziqing saw Qian Mengqi sitting quietly on a park bench, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the ships passing by on the river.

Yu Ziqing glanced at his watch; it was already 9:40 PM.

Strange, has this little girl suffered some kind of shock? She’s sitting in the park like a fool at this hour, Yu Ziqing muttered to himself.

After getting off the bus at Datang New Village, Yu Ziqing originally intended to go straight upstairs, but for some reason, she changed her mind and walked towards the riverside park in the community.

From afar, Yu Ziqing saw Qian Mengqi’s beautiful and slender back, but for some reason, he saw sadness in that back today.

“It’s getting late, why are you sitting here all alone?” Yu Ziqing walked over and said.

Upon hearing Yu Ziqing’s voice, Qian Mengqi hurriedly wiped her face with her hand, then looked up and said, “Can’t I like it?”

In the dim light of the park, Yu Ziqing could clearly see the tears that Qian Mengqi hadn’t wiped away from the corners of her eyes.

“You cried?” Yu Ziqing asked in surprise.

“It’s none of your business!” Qian Mengqi replied.

Yu Ziqing was not angry when he heard this, but sat down next to Qian Mengqi.

“When you’re sad, having someone by your side should make you feel better,” Yu Ziqing said, his voice tinged with a sense of weariness.

Qian Mengqi glanced at Yu Ziqing and said, “Who cares if you accompany me!”

Upon hearing this, Yu Ziqing smiled faintly and didn’t argue with Qian Mengqi. He simply watched the ship sail by on the river, just like her.

Qian Mengqi glanced at Yu Ziqing with some surprise. Since they started sharing an apartment, she had never seen the magnanimity she longed for in him. Even for a meal costing nine yuan and fifty cents, he would haggle over the change of fifty cents. Unexpectedly, he had suddenly changed his tune today and become a considerate and thoughtful man.

“Did you win the lottery today?” Qian Mengqi asked.

Yu Ziqing glanced at Qian Mengqi, then continued to look at the river without saying a word.

“Did you pick up a pretty girl?”

Yu Ziqing still did not reply.

Did your boss praise you?

“…”

“Looks like you took the wrong medicine today,” Qian Mengqi concluded.

“Looks like I really took the wrong medicine today!” Yu Ziqing finally stood up, patted his butt, and turned to leave.

“Hey, why are you like this? She’s in a bad mood today, can’t you be a little more considerate of her?” As Yu Ziqing was about to leave, Qian Mengqi grabbed his sleeve and scolded him.

“You seem to be in a great mood right now, you’re even making fun of people!” Yu Ziqing said sarcastically, but he still sat back down next to Qian Mengqi.

When Qian Mengqi saw Yu Ziqing sit down again, a hint of emotion flashed deep in her eyes in the darkness.

The two sat quietly without saying a word. Occasionally, Qian Mengqi would think of leaning on Yu Ziqing’s shoulder, but in the end, she didn’t do it.

Time passed quietly in the silence until a gurgling sound suddenly rang out clearly in the darkness, and the two of them turned their gaze away from the river and stared at each other.

“You haven’t eaten yet, have you?” Yu Ziqing asked in surprise.

Qian Mengqi nodded and said, “How about you be a gentleman and treat me to a meal today?”

“No problem,” Yu Ziqing replied readily.

In the darkness, Qian Mengqi opened her big eyes wide, which sparkled with surprise.

Yu Ziqing had always acted like a super miser, a penny-pincher. Qian Mengqi never expected that her casual question would lead to such a miracle.

“I want to eat something delicious.” Qian Mengqi stared at Yu Ziqing with her big eyes and asked tentatively. She was beginning to emerge from her sadness.

“No problem, I know a great mala tang place nearby that’s really affordable, only five yuan.” Yu Ziqing replied, a rare sly glint in his deep, star-like eyes.

Upon hearing this, Qian Mengqi finally realized that Yu Ziqing was still the same Yu Ziqing. However, she was clearly not giving up. A sly glint flashed in her dark eyes in the night. She tugged at Yu Ziqing’s clothes with her delicate hands, swaying them from side to side, and said in a sweet voice, “No, I not only want to eat delicious food, but I also want to eat expensive food. Pizza Hut, I want to eat Pizza Hut!”

In the past, even if Qian Mengqi were completely on top of Yu Ziqing, there would be no chance. But today, the girl was clearly upset about something, and Yu Ziqing had just pulled off a big heist, so he wouldn’t object to going to Pizza Hut, or even a more expensive place.

However, Yu Ziqing did not agree immediately, but shook his head and said, “No, that place is too expensive!”

“No, I want to go to Pizza Hut!” Qian Mengqi shook her head even more vigorously, her voice becoming even sweeter.

Yu Ziqing pretended to shudder, slapped Qian Mengqi’s hand away, and then raised his hands in a pained surrender, saying, “Fine, fine, let’s go to Pizza Hut then. I’ll just eat vegetarian food every day from now on!”

Qian Mengqi stood there with her mouth agape, stunned for a long while, before suddenly staring intently at Yu Ziqing and asking, “You wouldn’t happen to have fallen for me, would you!”
