Chapter 8: Lian Qingxue’s Debt Agreement, Going Clothes Shopping!
Seeing her torn school uniform, Lian Qingxue felt like crying. It wasnt that she was petty. She just didnt have many clothes, and now in winter, her school uniform was her newest jacket.
I Ill go home and mend it Lian Qingxue said, holding back her grievances.
Ill buy you new clothes!
No need!
I was the one who tore your clothes; I should compensate you. Qi Yun tried to persuade Lian Qingxue.
Lian Qingxue shook her head, You were trying to pull me. Its not your fault.
Looking at Lian Qingxue like this, Qi Yun felt somewhat helpless.
Your clothes really arent good enough. Its winter, and although its warm, its not hot! Wearing this, how can you bear it? Qi Yun was puzzled. He wondered how this girl had managed to get by in the past.
Its warm once Im inside, Lian Qingxue explained weakly.
That reasoning! So, you used to freeze on your way to school! Qi Yun was speechless at Lian Qingxues stubbornness.
He reached out, grabbing Lian Qingxues zipper.
What what are you doing?
You change into something else, like my down jacket, and well go buy clothes!
No
Behave!
With Qi Yuns words, Lian Qingxue felt her resistance melting.
Then then consider this money as a loan from you!
Okay! Qi Yun agreed without hesitation. He could make back ten times the money he spent on Lian Qingxue.
Why would I need Lian Qingxue to pay me back?
Then lets sign an agreement! Every penny you spend on me now, Ill pay you back after I start working! No, Ill pay you back double!
Lian Qingxue was dead serious. She took out a piece of paper, wrote her conditions on it earnestly, and signed her name with utmost seriousness. Looking at Lian Qingxue like this, Qi Yun once again saw the strong woman who silently contributed to his medical account in the past life.
Regardless of her humble or glorious circumstances, Lian Qingxues respect for kindness seemed to have never changed.
Seeing Lian Qingxue hand him the piece of paper with a face that read I wont leave until you sign, Qi Yun laughed, Ive never seen anyone so proactive in signing a usurious agreement, how about not doubling it?
Double is already very little! Interest must be included! Lian Qingxue countered.
Qi Yun shook his head.
Im making ten times the money off you.
Fool!
But he still signed his name, very solemnly. He didnt care about the money. But Qi Yun knew that this agreement was the last thing this girl, who had nothing, had.
Her self-esteem.
After signing the agreement, Lian Qingxue seemed to let out a sigh of relief. She carefully copied the agreement and put it in her pocket.
Seeing Qi Yun sitting in the room motionless, she couldnt help but glare at him again.
Go out! I need to change clothes!
Qi Yun went outside the door. After a while, Lian Qingxue came out wearing a short black down jacket.
Qi Yun, who was already 178 cm tall in high school, looked down at Lian Qingxue, who was only about 165 cm. Her figure was thin and small. Even though she was wearing Qi Yuns shortest down jacket, she looked as if she was wrapped in cotton. Her tiny face was half-buried in the collar, and her hands couldnt even stretch out of the sleeves.
When they left the house, it was half past eight in the evening. This was the busiest time for the Spring City Mall. Spring City might not be bustling, but it was a prefecture-level city after all. There were lots of people out shopping.
As they walked, Qi Yun felt a tug at the hem of his jacket. Turning around, he saw that Lian Qingxue had reached out and tightly grabbed the corner of his clothing. Like a small creature afraid of being abandoned, she followed him closely.
Qi Yun brought Lian Qingxue to the entrance of a sports brand store. Lian Qingxue stopped in her tracks. Looking at the large floor-to-ceiling windows in front of her, with the brightly lit interior, she hesitated.
Qi Yun, is it expensive here? Lian Qingxue asked.
What? Didnt I tell you? The more money I spend on you now, the more youll have to pay me back later. Im making a profit here! Its a sure thing! Qi Yun teased, not revealing the existence of his system. Otherwise, why would he only earn double?
His words left Lian Qingxue at a loss for words. She had initially not wanted Qi Yun to spend more money. Now, trying to stop him, she felt like she was not wanting to repay him.
They both entered the store, attracting the attention of the staff. After all, they didnt look like siblings. Seeing such a young couple shopping for clothes together in Spring City in 2008 was quite rare.
Lian Qingxue still hid behind Qi Yun, trying to minimize her presence.
