I quickly changed the topic and asked: "Are you the same as me? In what way?"
"You are short of money, and so am I."
Chen Jiayan's words made me start to look at her again.
Although she wasn't wearing a big brand, she was dressed decently, unlike me, whose pants were broken and didn't even have a replacement.
She may not be rich, but she is definitely not in need of money.
Seeing that I remained silent, Chen Jiayan asked again: "Don't believe me?"
I laughed a few times: "Looking at you like this, it doesn't look like you."
"No one who is short of money will show it on their face. I need at least this amount every month."
As she spoke, Chen Jiayan stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of me.
"Two thousand?"
"Twenty thousand."
I couldn't help but raise my voice: "Why do you, a girl, need so much money?"
Chen Jiayan's lips moved a few times, but she just said perfunctorily: "Anyway, I'm just short of money."
Seeing this, I stopped asking. Everyone has secrets, so why bother asking here?
"that……"
Chen Jiayan hesitated for a moment, then a look of embarrassment appeared on her face: "Can you lend me some money?"
I almost laughed out loud, then turned out my empty trouser pockets: "Are you sure?"
However, the embarrassment on her face was mixed with seriousness, and I suddenly realized that something was wrong.
We are not close friends, and she knows very well that I am short of money. If she can ask me to borrow money at this time, she is either crazy or she is really desperate.
Apparently, she is the latter.
I suddenly seemed to understand why she broke down and cried so much.
"Well, I'm sorry."
Chen Jiayan suddenly lowered her head and tucked the broken hair behind her ears: "I'm a little lost."
When people lose control of their emotions, they can always do some irrational things.
Just like the one in front of me.
I don't know what secret this girl is carrying that can make her so broken.
After being silent for a while, I said softly: "Let's make money together."
I am not trying to be a hero, but because she has helped me before.
Chen Jiayan looked up at me, her eyes full of confusion, and she didn't speak for a long time.
After a while, she suddenly showed a wry smile: "Don't be ridiculous, what happened last night, do you want to do it again?"
"I've been a procrastinator since I was a child, and I still am now."
I couldn't help scratching my scalp and jokingly said: "I don't want what happened last night to happen again. So, I will find a way to prevent it from happening."
"What do you mean?"
I thought about it carefully and analyzed: "This is the first time for both of us to encounter this kind of thing, so something will inevitably go wrong."
"Perhaps, if we work together, we can change this situation?"
These words not only comforted her, but also comforted myself.
Chen Jiayan balled up her handkerchief, held it firmly in her hand, and whispered, "What if we can't get along?"
"Then let's talk!"
She suddenly let go of the handkerchief and stood up slowly: "From now on, we will divide the money, seven for you and three for me."
"Bang bang bang!"
At this moment, there was a muffled sound from the window. I looked back and saw Liu Shan lying on the window like a peeping thief.
Chen Jiayan reacted first, strode past me, and opened the door.
As soon as Liu Shan came in, there was an unknown smile on his face: "Chen Qi, what did you do last night?"
This kind of tone of indictment was really unpleasant, so I immediately asked, "What does it have to do with you?"
Liu Shan smiled and leaned against the door frame: "It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with you."
"The curator asked me to give you a message. If you are absent from work for no reason this time, you will be fined 200 first. Next time, just get out."
I asked him why he was smiling so happily. He was just waiting to see my joke!
