Chapter 660 - Pocket Money
The video call was connected.
After a moment of black screen, s.h.i.+ Sui"s face appeared on the screen.
Xiang Yi blinked, feeling a little overwhelmed. He awkwardly waved his hand and said, "Hi."
The light around s.h.i.+ Sui fell silent. He stood under the streetlamp, clad in a dark black sweater that he had just changed into, which accentuated the fairness of his skin tone.
s.h.i.+ Sui asked in a warm voice, "h.e.l.lo?"
Xiang Yi greeted, "h.e.l.lo."
The curvature of his eyebrows deepened and he asked, "Xiang Yi, have you eaten properly?"
Xiang Yi felt a bit diffident but she still said, "Yes, yes."
"What did you have for dinner?"
Xiang Yi couldn"t answer, and she said vaguely, "I-I ate a lot at lunch! The beef cakes smell especially good. I"ll make them for you when I get back!"
s.h.i.+ Sui sighed but he did not expose her.
He merely answered softly, "Aren"t you cold? Be careful not to catch a cold."
The little girl on the screen was wearing only a cream-colored short-sleeved loose s.h.i.+rt, probably so that she could move around easily. However, she looked very cold and slender on this rainy summer night.
Xiang Yi immediately leaped onto the single bed and wrapped the blanket around her body. "It won"t be cold like this!"
s.h.i.+ Sui said, "Xiang Yi, you"re very obedient."
Xiang Yi swung her little feet.
I was complimented.
She was initially nervous but because of s.h.i.+ Sui"s silent rea.s.surance, Xiang Yi gradually calmed down and gradually chatted with s.h.i.+ Sui.
It was obviously some insignificant nonsense, but somehow... She felt very heartened but she was also very blissful.
"Do you feel that we look like an old married couple like this?" Xiang Yi twisted the little blanket and started playing with it.
It was like the way her parents interacted.
One of the words that she said had pleased s.h.i.+ Sui and the man"s dark eyes were filled with joy. He a.s.sented softly.
Xiang Yi came to a sudden realization and asked, "Did you not bring an umbrella!?!"
The drizzling rain drenched s.h.i.+ Sui"s hair.
The system"s voice was full of compulsion.
"Host, you can now send an umbrella to the male lead~ Not only can you give him an umbrella, you can leave a good impression on him too!"
Xiang Yi agreed.
The system was ecstatic. "Finally! This woman is finally going to start doing the task! This is great!"
The next second, Xiang Yi transferred a sum of money to s.h.i.+ Sui.
At the same time, s.h.i.+ Sui"s phone rang.
[AAA Girlfriend transferred one million yuan to you!]
s.h.i.+ Sui was speechless.
The system was speechless.
Xiang Yi said with a serious look on her face, "I can"t give you the umbrella. Why don"t you go back in accordance with the rules to quarantine! I"m sorry, can you go to the convenience store to get an umbrella? Why don"t I help you order takeout?"
The system was about to vomit blood. "No, Host, an umbrella is not that expensive..."
Xiang Yi ignored it while her delicate, porcelain-like face turned red. "D-Don"t misunderstand. I don"t mean to humiliate you with money. I-I want to give you pocket money..."
Just like how her grandparents, uncle, and brothers had given her allowance.
Her definition of pocket money was always the same growing up. That was, she was getting pocket money because her family loved her.
Unfortunately, Xiang Yi was the youngest and couldn"t give out pocket money to others if she wanted to.
But today...
She finally gave some pocket money to her boyfriend!
"Why won"t you say anything?" Xiang Yi was a little uneasy as she began to wonder if she was hurting s.h.i.+ Sui"s ego.
"Is my boyfriend.... angry?"
