Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Feeling of Loss
“No!” Su Zixi quickly rebutted, “Ouch, stop asking and let’s go, I’ll treat you to a meal! Later, let me copy your notes…”
Su Zixi took Shen Yushan to the best nearby restaurant, and it took a major financial hit to finally settle Shen Yushan down.
As Shen Yushan ordered, she confidently said, “You are now a wealthy lady, this bit of money is nothing to you!”
“Wealthy lady,” Su Zixi looked at the meager balance left in her bank account, and silently tears streamed down her face.
When she left, she certainly couldn’t bring along the credit card He Jingyao had given her, so… she seemed to have plunged into a financial crisis once again.
Did she need to start working again?
...
No, she couldn’t go back to Four Seasons Bar now, Brother Yun definitely wouldn’t let her continue as a bartender.
It seemed she could only tutor… Before her part-time job at Four Seasons Bar, her main source of income had been from tutoring. Su Zixi calculated in her mind.
There, Shen Yushan was enjoying the meal heartily, but Su Zixi had little appetite.
“Why aren’t you eating?” Shen Yushan asked, puzzled.
“It’s nothing, you eat,” Su Zixi replied.
“Oh, I get it,” Shen Yushan chuckled, “Someone’s been spoiled by luxury so much that she can no longer stomach our commoner’s food.”
“That’s not it!” Su Zixi glared at her.
But as she looked at the dishes on the table, she had to admit… it really was that way.
Indeed, it’s easy to adapt from frugality to luxury, but difficult to revert… Su Zixi silently chastised herself and began eating with chopsticks.
When it was time to pay, Su Zixi prepared to pick up the tab, but the cashier embarrassingly said, “Miss, our payment machine just broke down. Do you have any cash?” @@novelbin@@
Su Zixi shook her head and looked at Shen Yushan, who also shook her head helplessly.
The cashier seemed helpless, apparently made a call to the manager, and after hanging up, she said with a smile, “Miss, since it’s a mishap from our side and we wouldn’t want to impede your time, our manager says it will be on the house today, and we welcome you to come again.”
“Such good luck!” Shen Yushan exclaimed, then grumbled, “Why do you always encounter such good luck whenever you treat, and I never do!”
“Just good karma!” Su Zixi didn’t think much of it, happily pocketed her bank card, thanked the staff and then pulled Shen Yushan to leave.
It looked like the balance in her account would last a few more days.
****
Two days later.
Su Zixi was in the library, diligently copying Shen Yushan’s notes. She had missed so many days of classes, so she had to work especially hard to catch up.
Although she hadn’t been to HI Group, she had communicated and completed the necessary work online with her colleagues, and she still had a thorough handle on the progress, so Su Zixi wasn’t worried.
Still…
Looking at the watch on her wrist, her heart unavoidably sank.
Though she thought a fulfilling life would satisfy, she still felt as if something was missing, whether upon waking, while eating, or before bed, an unexpected melancholy always emerged.
She sighed, set down her pen, and couldn’t help but daydream.
She had moved back to the dorm to clear her head, after all facing He Jingyao, she had absolutely no resistance… But now it seemed that even if she had left him, she couldn’t calm down.
She was constantly thinking of him.
What do you think?
