They pa.s.sed by the Tang’s home on the way, and Tang Cheng sneakily ran home to bring a little, tin box back to Yun Xi.

“Yim Xi, I know you need to return to the Yun family. Take this with you.”

Perplexed, Yun Xi glanced at the slightly rusted, tin box. As soon as she opened it, she saw it was completely filled with a thick wad of cash.

“What are you giving me money for? I’m only going home. I won’t need to spend much money.”

This silly boy—was he worried that she didn’t have enough money to go home?

While Chen Lixue was harsh toward her, she was still able to glean a bit of the annual allowance money given by her uncle from between Liang Xinyi and her sister’s tight clutches.

“You take this! Even if you’re just going home, you still need to spend money on the way there!”

Tang Cheng forcibly pushed the box toward her and rubbed his head with a shy smile.

“I will take the university entrance examination this year and go to Jingdu. Wait for me to find you!”

Yun Xi looked up. Her lucid eyes revealed a hint of bittersweetness as they reflected Tang Cheng’s optimistic and handsome face.

Blinking her eyes, she nodded and took a deep breath. “Okay then… you must work hard!”

In her previous life, she had turned against Tang Cheng just because of one thing Han Yaotian had said. She had a.s.sumed all of Tang Cheng’s concerns and warnings were ulterior motives.

Even now, she could recall his back facing her when he turned to leave in the rain; he had been so disappointed and powerless.

She refused to see past her obsession and finally ended up hurting the person who truly cared about her.

“Tang Cheng, I’m sorry… but thank you!”

“Silly! We grew up together. What do you need to thank me for?”

He raised a hand to pat her on the head. His boyish briskness and optimism were like the warm suns.h.i.+ne in the early spring, beaming with spring energy.

“Hurry home, now! I need to go to school tomorrow, so I won’t be sending you off, but remember to call me when you get back to the Yun’s home!”

“Okay! I know!”
