nUncle, Help Me Pay Up

nAfter slogging for an entire afternoon, Jian Dan felt that her legs were about to break from running around. She finally settled everything.

nIt was finally time to knock off…

nOn the way home, Jian Dan saw roasted sweet potatoes and was immediately attracted by the fragrance. Only then did Jian Dan realize that she had eaten nothing except breakfast in the morning. No wonder she was so hungry now.

n“Sir, give me one.”

nWithout further ado, she had to get one.

n“12 yuan.”

n“I’ll pay via WeChat Pay!”

nJian Dan took the roasted sweet potato with one hand and ate it eagerly. She took out her cell phone with the other and prepared to make payment.

n“I don’t have WeChat Pay.”

nThe old man looked troubled.

nJian Dan’s next actions also came to an abrupt halt…

n“You don’t?”

nThere were still places without WeChat Pay?

n“Lass, I’m old. I don’t know how to use those high-tech things.”

nThis time, it was Jian Dan’s turn to scratch her head.

nWho would bring cash nowadays?

nOh no! What should I do? I’ve already eaten it…

nHelpless, she could only call Chu Liyuan. “Uncle? Are you busy?”

nJian Dan held a roasted sweet potato in one hand and her cell phone in the other with a helpless expression…

nChu Liyuan found Jian Dan’s tone a little strange. “What’s wrong?”

n“Uncle, are you still at the office?”

nThis place was very close to the company. It was only a five-minute walk.

n“Yes!”

nChu Liyuan casually flipped through the documents.

n“Hehe… If you just happen to be not busy and just happen to have cash, can you come to the roasted sweet potato stall near your company to pay for me?” Jian Dan wished she could hide under a rock now. It was really too embarrassing.

nTwo minutes later…

nChu Liyuan came to the roasted sweet potato stall and glanced at Jian Dan. Jian Dan lowered her head in embarrassment. Chu Liyuan then turned his gaze to the old man selling sweet potatoes. “How much?”

n“12 yuan.”

nShe actually asked him to make a trip for just 12 yuan. This lass actually did not even have 12 yuan.

nAfter Chu Liyuan paid the old man, he held Jian Dan’s hand and returned to the car. Jian Dan—who was in the front passenger seat—cautiously raised her head and stole a glance at Chu Liyuan… She realized that Chu Liyuan was looking at her.

nJian Dan smiled awkwardly. “Hehe! He did not have WeChat Pay, so…”

nDid youngsters nowadays not bring cash with them when they went out?

n“Gulp.” Jian Dan’s stomach growled just then.

nJian Dan hurriedly covered her stomach.

nWas she hungry? How long had it been since she last ate?

nChu Liyuan took the roasted sweet potato from Jian Dan’s hand—peeled off the skin—and brought it to her mouth. “Why didn’t you have your meal?”

n“I was so busy that I forgot.”

nShe took a bite of the sweet potato and said with a smile.

n“Don’t do it again.”

nThis lass actually didn’t eat her meal. She was so good at nagging him about it.

nHow could she forget everything when it came to herself?

n“I promise!”

nJian Dan placed her hand on her forehead and promised.

nChu Liyuan’s expression was really serious, but Jian Dan knew that he was worried about her.

nWhen she saw that he had rushed over less than two minutes after receiving her phone call, she knew how well he treated her!

n“Uncle, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?”

nTsk, he clearly hadn’t eaten yet too, but he still scolded her.

nJian Dan brought the sweet potato to his mouth. “Uncle, have a bite too!”

nThis roasted sweet potato was rather fragrant…

nThe roasted sweet potato was quickly finished by Jian Dan and Chu Liyuan.

n“Uncle, I’m not full yet. Treat me to dinner!”

nHow could half a roasted sweet potato fill Jian Dan’s tummy?

n“What do you want to eat?”

nHe knew that the roasted sweet potato would not be enough for this lass! After spending some time with her, he knew her appetite well.

n“Something expensive!”

nChu Liyuan was so rich. It did not seem right for her not to help him spend some money.

nWhy did this lass change her personality today?

nHis lass must be pampered. If this lass could eat him out of house and home, it was also a superpower!

n“Buckle up. Let’s go.”
