Chapter 5 (2/2)

Su Tian was quite experienced with all sorts of people; she could tell that this woman was a difficult one to deal with. She didn't think it'd be a good idea for her to just go over and buy their products.

She needed a helper.

Right when she was thinking about that, she saw Xi Yun from a distance walking out of the residential area. It looked like he was heading toward a convenient store. Sure enough, she saw him returning with a pack of cigarettes in his hands.

”Tian Tian where you heading to?” asked He Qingwan when she saw Su Tian heading out.

Tian Tian (”sweet”), was Su Tian's nickname.

”I am going to buy myself a bottle of water!” said Su Tian before she ran off.

Drinking cold water again? Thought He Qingwan to herself, see if she would take care of her the next time she has as a stomach!

Su Tian waited for Xi Yun at the entrance to the residential area. This was a blind spot from the Luo's Walnut Cookies; she trusted that they would not be able to see her talking to Xi Yun.

When she saw Xi Yun walked by, she called out to him immediately, ”Hey, kid. Wait a minute!”

Xi Yun paused and looked up. He recognized that the one calling out to him was the same pretty young woman who helped him found the coin yesterday. Remembering the bruises on his face, he immediately looked back down and continued on his way, but at a much slower pace.

Su Tian followed behind him. This future top wealthy man was but a scrawny little boy that barely reached her chest's height right now. The bruises on his face neither decreased nor increased; she gathered that he didn't receive any more beatings yesterday.

Su Tian asked gently, ”Can I ask you for a favor?”

Xi Yun still did not look up. It was after a while before a barely noticeable nod could be seen.
