Xia Yu originally thought that Feng Yujia had encountered harassment from a flirtatious guy, but upon entering, he realized it wasn’t the case.
It was a girl arguing with her boyfriend.
After listening for a while, Xia Yu found out that the boy had simply glanced at Feng Yujia twice, and his girlfriend caught him.
The girl was assertive and immediately asked whether he thought she was prettier or if Feng Yujia was.
As it turned out, the guy was honest and told the truth.
Enraged, the girl began yelling at him furiously.
Xia Yu stood aside, amused, watching this uncommon spectacle of a girlfriend scolding her boyfriend.
Feng Yujia also felt cheerful. Watching the boy being chased and scolded by the girl, unable to retaliate or lie, his awkward expression was simply amusing.
She couldn’t help but smile.
Upon seeing this, the girl stopped scolding her boyfriend and redirected her anger at Feng Yujia.
“What are you laughing at, you little hussy? Stay home properly instead of coming out here to steal other people’s boyfriends!” The girl, furious, took out her anger on Feng Yujia.
With a face full of aggression, she charged toward Feng Yujia. Taken aback, Feng Yujia wanted to dodge, but she was stuck behind the checkout counter with nowhere to run.
Just as the girl reached the counter, a figure blocked her path.
It was Xia Yu.
“What kind of language is that? If you have issues between the two of you, why take it out on others?” Xia Yu looked down at her.
“The two of us?” The girl was so angry her hands trembled. Her face looked somewhat aged, and she was especially sensitive about people assuming she was older.
Behind Xia Yu, Feng Yujia couldn’t help but laugh again.
This only embarrassed the girl further, and she grabbed a mop nearby, ready to attack.
At this moment, Xia Yu unleashed an intimidating aura.
The girl felt the youth before her suddenly turn grim, his features sharp and cold, just like her father who used to beat her with a belt.
She let go of the mop and dared not approach.
At this moment, her boyfriend hurried over to intervene.
“Sorry, sorry,” the boy apologized with a couple of bows to everyone, pulling his girlfriend’s hand as they quickly left the convenience store.
The onlookers also dispersed.
Xia Yu took another can of cola and went to the counter to pay.
After scanning the barcode and collecting the money, Feng Yujia handed him the cola.
“Thank you,” the girl said.
“No problem,” Xia Yu replied, then added, “You should be prepared for such incidents happening again in the future.”
Having a beautiful face brings not only some privileges but also certain troubles.
Xia Yu had originally considered using An Siyao’s body to recommend Feng Yujia to become a private tutor. With her reputation from Dongzhi Township, her previous awards, and her looks, it should have been no problem.
But today’s incident made him abandon this idea. In a convenience store with many people around, although the probability of trouble is higher, it generally won’t escalate into anything serious. However, if she were to go to someone’s home, although the likelihood of trouble is lower, if something were to happen, it would be a major issue.
He could suggest that Feng Yujia only tutor female students, but how could female students not have male relatives or friends around?
“Okay,” Xia Yu’s words made Feng Yujia a little nervous.
“You can consider wearing a mask,” Xia Yu gave Feng Yujia the suggestion before leaving the convenience store with the cola in hand.
He went to the nearby electronics district and bought another new phone and a mirrorless camera for You Xue.
Since he didn’t know much about lenses, he asked the shop assistant and bought several of the best-selling models.
Carrying the bag, Xia Yu returned home.
You Xue hadn’t returned yet.
He placed the two items on the girl’s desk, then went back to his bedroom to continue studying.
At four in the afternoon, You Xue returned home. She first went to the kitchen, poured herself a glass of water, and sat on the sofa looking at the photos she had taken.
Several of the photos were blurry, not because of You Xue’s skills—although she had no particular talent, her photography was still better than many male amateurs.
The reason was the phone’s poor camera quality.
Thinking of Yan Li’s phone, which could practically be used as a telescope, You Xue felt somewhat unhappy.
However, she didn’t have any intention of changing her phone.
It was fine to make do. Having good photography skills didn’t really serve any practical purpose, and she didn’t want to waste money.
After finishing her water, You Xue returned to her room.
As soon as she entered, she noticed the paper bag on her desk.
Opening the bag, You Xue saw a new phone and, even more surprisingly, a mirrorless camera!
Excitedly, she let out a small cry and rushed into Xia Yu’s room.
She hugged Xia Yu.
Patting her head, Xia Yu accepted the girl’s gratitude.
“Brother, these must have been really expensive, right?” After calming down, You Xue started to care about the price.
“No worries, our family is rich now.”
Seeing Xia Yu’s expression and realizing he truly didn’t mind, You Xue became happy again.
Returning to her room, she proudly showed off her new equipment to Yan Li.
She had no intention of showing off to Feng Yujia and Feng Yumo, because she knew these things meant nothing to them.
However, Feng Yujia reached out to her first.
“Xiaoxue, have you shown your brother my photos?”
Why is she suddenly asking about my brother?
You Xue was puzzled, but she still answered Feng Yujia first:
“He saw them once, the landscape photos you took when you went on a spring outing.”
Feng Yujia immediately became anxious:
“Did he say anything to you today?”
“Brother bought me a new phone and a mirrorless camera!” You Xue proudly replied.
After confirming Xia Yu hadn’t mentioned anything, Feng Yujia relaxed.
She felt Xia Yu still hadn’t recognized her, after all, he had only seen a few landscape photos. Otherwise, how could he not ask about it?
Completely reassured, Feng Yujia put her phone aside, lay comfortably on the bed, and recalled the scene at noon—the way Xia Yu stood in front of her and the way he had warned her.
From him, Feng Yujia felt a sense of closeness, because his attitude toward her was too natural.
And he was handsome too.
Hugging her pillow, Feng Yujia couldn’t help but smile.
At this moment, Feng Yumo, who had just finished the instant noodles Feng Yujia brought back, came into her room.
The two sisters, dissatisfied with the outside food, had found a cheap and tasty alternative—instant noodles.
Walking up to Feng Yujia’s bed, Feng Yumo asked, “Sis, how much do you earn per hour?”
“Twenty yuan. We’ve already agreed, payment weekly,” Feng Yujia answered.
“Then let’s go out for a nice meal after a week, probably spending over a thousand,” Feng Yumo roughly calculated.
“We still need to change to a cheaper hotel. Where would we get the money for a meal!” Feng Yujia rejected Feng Yumo’s suggestion.
“But you can earn more than 3,000 yuan a week. What’s wrong with spending a thousand on a good meal!” Feng Yumo argued.
“…How did you calculate that I earn 3,000 yuan a week!”
“20×24×7=3360”
“Are you trying to kill me!” Feng Yujia explained the proper wage calculation method to Feng Yumo.
“Ah, so little?” Feng Yumo was very disappointed.
“Then what about asking You Xue for help?” she suggested again.
“No way. You Xue’s family is just ordinary; they can’t afford to support three kids,” Feng Yujia replied.
“Fine, forget it. Let’s talk about something fun,” Feng Yumo said.
Feng Yujia then told her about her day: “Today I met You Xue’s brother.”
“What’s he like?” Feng Yumo became interested, as gossip is human nature, something humans have indulged in since ancient times.
Feng Yujia thought for a moment and finally said three words: “He’s kind of handsome.”
Feng Yumo became even more curious.
Feeling bored staying in the hotel, she got the idea to go out and explore a bit.
