Everyone's been reborn, so who would bother finding a wife on their own?

Chapter 26, 5 yuan

The exam is over, but the results haven't come out yet.

This is the happiest time for children who are about to enter junior high school.

No need to go to school, no need to do homework, just play every day.

Of course, for some people, summer vacation is split in two.

Half of it was before the results came out, and the other half was after the results came out.

Some are happy, some are worried.

Song Huan is the kind of person who will always be busy, regardless of whether the results are out or not.

During his 20-plus-day holiday, he worked part-time every day.

Leaving early and returning late is even more tiring than going to school.

However, it's easy to find an excuse.

"Mom, I'm going out to find Xiao Yunqing to play with."

Zhang Xuejuan would nod every time she heard this.

"Go ahead, but don't stay out too late. Oh, and bring Little Cloud back to play sometime; I miss her so much after not seeing her for a while. Mom will make you something delicious."

Song Huan verbally agreed.

"it is good."

But I smiled bitterly to myself.

Not to mention his mother, he himself hadn't seen Xiao Yunqing in a long time.

From the day she finished the exam, it was as if she disappeared.

He did try to look for it.

I stood downstairs at her house and called for a long time, but no one answered.

Sometimes when Xu Wan or Xiao Haifeng came back, he could only slink away in disgrace.

I was afraid they would ask me all sorts of questions.

What do you want to ask?

Did you two have a fight? What did you do to her?

He couldn't answer.

……

That evening, Song Huan received a red bill from the boss.

The boss's hand trembled slightly when he handed over the money.

"You little rascal...how much did you make today?"

"Two thousand."

The boss opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Song Huan carefully put the money away and stuffed it into his pocket.

tired.

I've been busy from morning till 10 p.m., and my legs are sore from walking so much.

But the moment I received the money, all the fatigue disappeared.

By the end of the summer vacation, his savings had exceeded three thousand.

More than three thousand.

That's enough to surf the stock market.

He put the money away and was about to leave when the young woman at the front desk called him back.

"Song Huan, someone is looking for you."

Song Huan was stunned for a moment.

Who is it?

"A little girl is waiting outside."

Is someone looking for me?

Song Huan had some doubts.

He put the money away and walked to the door.

There was a person standing outside.

Wearing thick clothes and a hat, with her head down, her face was obscured.

But Song Huan was stunned after just one glance at her.

Even without seeing his face, Song Huan could recognize who he was from his figure and posture.

Before he could even speak, the man ran over.

She shoved a heavy bag into his hands.

Then he turned and ran.

"Xiao Yunqing!"

Song Huan called out.

But the person didn't stop; he ran very fast and soon disappeared around the street corner.

Song Huan wanted to chase after her, but the bag in her hand was too heavy.

He looked down.

Open the bag.

It's full of money.

Stacks upon stacks, neatly arranged.

A quick glance suggests it's worth at least six thousand yuan.

Song Huan suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction where she had disappeared.

The streets were deserted; there wasn't a single person in sight.

……

It was almost eleven o'clock when I got home.

Song Huan hid the bag and went inside.

Because it was too late, he decided to return the money the next day.

When Song Huan returned, she counted the money in the bag; there were both small change and large sums, totaling 6438.5.

Xiao Yunqing even put a few coins inside, which made Song Huan both amused and exasperated.

The living room light was still on, and Zhang Xuejuan and Song Wentao were sitting on the sofa, talking.

When she saw him come in, Zhang Xuejuan looked up.

"You're back? Have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

"Didn't you go play with Xiaoyunduo today?" Zhang Xuejuan asked.

Song Huan thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No, I went to play with other classmates today."

"It's a good thing you didn't go."

Just as Song Huan was about to return to her room after speaking, she suddenly heard Zhang Xuejuan say, "Something big happened to your Uncle Xiao's family today."

Song Huan immediately stopped in her tracks and pricked up her ears to listen.

Song Wentao, who was standing nearby, asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Xuejuan sighed.

"That little cloud lost the tuition fee that was supposed to be for junior high school."

tuition fee……

Lost it...?

Song Huan's mind went blank for a moment.

"Five thousand yuan, all in cash," Zhang Xuejuan continued. "Xiao Haifeng withdrew it in advance and gave it to her to keep safe, to teach her how to manage money. But she went out this morning and when she came back, the money was gone."

After hearing this, Song Wentao shook his head, "Giving so much money to a child to manage, that's incredibly irresponsible."

"Who says otherwise?" Zhang Xuejuan said. "Xu Wan was furious and gave her a good scolding. You didn't see the scene. You know Xu Wan's temper. She's usually cold and aloof, but when she gets angry, it's terrifying. Besides, she even hit her."

Song Huan stood there, her hands beginning to tremble.

"That child is silly, she didn't know to hide," Zhang Xuejuan said. "Luckily, I was a guest at her house at the time and stopped her. Otherwise..."

Song Huan couldn't hear what she said after that.

His mind was filled with that scene from just now.

Xiao Yunqing was wearing thick clothes and a hat, and kept her head down.

I put the bag in his hand.

He turned and ran.

The bag was heavy.

A total of 6438.5...

Song Huan turned around abruptly and rushed towards the door.

"Mom, I'm going out for a bit!"

"Hey, where are you going so late?!"

The door was already closed.

Zhang Xuejuan and Song Wentao exchanged a glance.

"What's wrong with this child?"

……

Song Huan ran very fast.

The night wind blew, stinging his face, but he ignored it.

There was only one thought in my mind.

Find her.

Find her!

He ran downstairs to Xiao Yunqing's house and looked up.

That window was dark; the light wasn't on.

He stood downstairs and called out.

"Xiao Yunqing!"

No one answered.

He called out again.

"Xiao Yunqing!"

Still, no one answered.

Xiao Haifeng and Xu Wan have disappeared without a trace.

He stood there, panting.

The surroundings were eerily quiet. As Song Huanxin gradually grew colder, suddenly…

[It's his voice! How did he get here?]

Song Huan was suddenly startled.

He recognized the familiar voice; he was absolutely certain he hadn't misheard!

He looked in the direction of the sound.

The small garden behind the building was pitch black, with only one street lamp lit.

He ran over.

Then he saw it.

Xiao Yunqing sat on a bench under a streetlamp, hugging her knees and curling up into a small ball.

She had her head down, so her expression was not visible.

But his shoulders were trembling.

Song Huan slowly walked over.

Walk up to her and stop.

Xiao Yunqing did not look up.

He squatted down.

"Little Clouds".

She still didn't move.

Song Huan looked at her profile and saw the tear tracks on her face.

And... a red handprint.

It's obvious without even thinking that Xu Wan slapped him in a fit of anger.

He opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse.

"you……"

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yunqing interrupted.

"Do you have enough money?"

His voice was muffled, with a sob in it.

Song Huan was stunned.

"That's what I saved up, you can take it and use it." Xiao Yunqing wiped her eyes and said, "It's my New Year's money, pocket money, and... and the reward my mom gave me for getting first place in my exam."

She looked up at him.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered in tears. "Didn't you want to buy stocks? Is this enough?"

Song Huan stood there, looking at her.

The streetlight shone on her, illuminating her face and making the handprint on her face even more shocking.

He suddenly didn't know what to say; overwhelming guilt almost consumed him.

"Why are you giving me money?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly.

Xiao Yunqing lowered her head, refusing to look at him.

"Aren't you short of money...?"

"Then you don't need to give me the tuition fee!" Song Huan shouted loudly.

That's not tuition.

She shuddered in fright, then lowered her head and whispered, "That's my money. I lost the tuition myself, and my mom scolded me... I deserved it."

Song Huan was stunned. Looking at the red mark on her face, she felt as if something had hit her heart hard.

"Little cloud..."

She didn't move, but just sobbed softly.

He reached out and gently touched her face.

She dodged for a moment.

"Does it hurt?"

Song Huan looked distressed.

Then she bit her lip and didn't say anything.

But she didn't stay strong for long, and soon tears started falling again.

"pain……"

Xiao Yunqing's crying was absolutely heartbreaking.

Song Huan felt a tightness in her chest as she watched her cry.

"Are you stupid?" he asked, his voice hoarse. "You're angry with me, so why are you sending me money?"

Xiao Yunqing didn't speak, she just cried.

After a while, she finally spoke.

"I'm angry..."

"But I'm more afraid that you'll get tired."

She looked up at him.

"You go out handing out flyers every day, getting so tanned and exhausted... do you think I can't see it?"

"I've actually been watching you from across the street, seeing you fawn over others, seeing you humble yourself, and it hurt me!"

"I want to help you, but you won't tell me anything."

"I asked you what stocks are, and you wouldn't tell me. I asked you why you're short of money, and you still wouldn't tell me."

"All you do is tell me to mind my own business and go home!"

She became more and more agitated as she spoke, and her tears flowed even more profusely.

Then she wiped away her tears and said fiercely, "But if I don't care, who will?"

"I……"

Song Huan stood there, listening to her, unable to utter a single word.

Xiao Yunqing wiped away her tears again, looked at him, and said, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and take the money and leave!"

Song Huan looked at her.

Looking at her swollen eyes, the tear stains on her face, and the way she sat under the streetlight.

He felt he was having some difficulty breathing.

I just think, how can there be such a stupid person in this world?

"No, I don't want it."

Song Huan said in a low voice.

Xiao Yunqing froze, her tear-filled eyes widening. "What?"

Song Huan sat down next to her and leaned back in her chair.

I said I didn't want it anymore.

Xiao Yunqing stared at him blankly, tears streaming down her face, but she didn't say a word.

Song Huan looked at the streetlights overhead and spoke after a long time.

"sorry."

Xiao Yunqing was stunned for a moment.

"I shouldn't have kept it from you," he said, "and I shouldn't have made you worry."

Xiao Yunqing kept her head down and didn't say anything.

After a while, she spoke softly.

"This has nothing to do with you, I did it all willingly..."

Song Huan felt even more upset. He didn't say anything more, but instead reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Xiao Yunqing's soft body stiffened instantly, and then she lay on top of him without resistance.

He could clearly feel that the front of his clothes was wet.

"Huanhuan, will you still hide it from me from now on?"

"I won't hide it anymore."

"real?"

Xiao Yunqing suddenly raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears.

"real."

Song Huan nodded seriously.

Xiao Yunqing looked at him, saw his serious expression, and finally smiled, pressing her arm against his chest again.

"Huanhuan, I miss you so much..." Xiao Yunqing gently nuzzled her head against her, her voice filled with sadness and grievance. "I've been thinking about you these past few days, every single day. Have you been thinking about me?"

"Of course I miss you too," Song Huan said immediately.

"Really?" Xiao Yunqing's voice was filled with surprise.

"Of course it's true, I swear..."

"Alright, alright, you don't need to swear, I believe you." Xiao Yunqing immediately slapped his hand away as he was about to swear, and said reproachfully.

Song Huan took the money. "Take this money back to your mother."

"But..." Xiao Yunqing opened her mouth.

"No buts," Song Huan interrupted her, "If you mention money again, I'll get angry."

Xiao Yunqing looked at him, pursed her lips, and nodded vigorously.

"It's settled then."

"What do you mean, 'agreed'?"

"From now on, tell me everything. Don't hide anything from me."

Song Huan looked at her and nodded.

"OK."

Xiao Yunqing was satisfied, a smile appeared on her face, and she continued to lean against his chest.

After a brief silence, her voice came through again.

"Song Huan".

"Um?"

Are you still handing out flyers tomorrow?

Song Huan thought for a moment.

"I'm not going."

Why?

"Because we have enough money."

Xiao Yunqing smiled.

"Then I'll come visit you tomorrow."

Song Huan looked into her bright eyes and smiled.

"it is good."

The two leaned against a bench under a streetlamp.

A cool night breeze blew by.

Song Huan gently hugged Xiao Yunqing and pulled her into his arms.

After a while, Xiao Yunqing said in a low voice.

Huanhuan.

"Um?"

"From now on... let's always be like this, okay?"

"Don't make me angry anymore..."

"From childhood to adulthood, you've always been the one who makes me angry, lies to me, and makes me cry..."

Xiao Yunqing pouted, looking aggrieved.

Song Huan remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he spoke.

"it is good."
