Chapter 376 - 202: Hope Everyone is Fine! Thank You for Your Sincerity! (Thanks to the Support From Book Friends)_4
If I accidentally say something wrong and end up in trouble without even realizing it, what’s the point?
So, the words are clear: "From any angle, there’s no need to help you out."
The great beauty Song was even more depressed, looking somewhat dejected as she sat in the chair, hands hidden in her sleeves, and let out a long sigh:
"I can’t help it, I’m just doing what an honest person told me to do. The honest person told me to come to the Celestial Capital Department and ask like this, told me to do everything this way. I’m just a fool, how would I know this was wrong? It’s really because I’m too stupid."
"Sigh, that honest person must be fed up with me. Even said I’ve gained weight before, thinking about it makes me feel a bit sorry for myself. I don’t even know what I’m doing this for."
"I might as well leave in disgrace. Staying here only makes me a joke in their eyes, certainly unable to uncover the truth about Ling Huzhong."
The great beauty Song’s ability to be sarcastic is second to none, and Yuchi was amused by her angry demeanor.
With a carefree attitude, he held a teacup and drank the tea with a chuckle.
"You’re laughing, I really don’t know what to do now," Song Yinghan said pitifully.
"Don’t know what to do? Well then... beauty, let’s watch the sunrise together tomorrow and I’ll tell you what to do now," Yuchi said with a smile.
Watch the sunrise... I can’t even bear to expose your wicked intentions, Song Yinghan replied immediately, "I don’t want to watch the sunrise with you! You guy, you’re still making fun of me at a time like this, not helping at all, no sincerity whatsoever, and even want me to suffer a loss!"
Right.
With you wanting me to suffer a loss at this time, do you even have a conscience?
Can conscience be eaten? Yuchi looked very innocent: "Yinghan, haven’t you realized I’m helping you?"
Helping me? How are you helping me?
Song Yinghan looked at Yuchi, who didn’t seem like he was joking. She immediately began to recall what Yuchi did earlier today. The entire afternoon, he was just idling around, saying nothing, low-profile to the point of surprise. So when he said he was helping her, Song Yinghan didn’t quite understand from what perspective Yuchi was helping her.
If it’s about that... then it’s not even called help, I can help myself if need be, alright!
Yuchi: "Suit yourself."
Song Yinghan: "..."
...
The two left the Celestial Capital Department together, walking down the busy streets of Canglan City’s Celestial Capital Department, keeping a certain distance from the crowd.
The destination was Ziyue Star Pavilion.
Song Yinghan still didn’t understand what Yuchi had meant earlier by helping her. How was he helping?
While she was puzzled, Yuchi looked quite relaxed. Once they were far from the Celestial Capital Department, he said: "It’s simple, my dear Yinghan, you wanted someone to help you, right?"
Dear Yinghan, please, I’m older than you, thought Song Yinghan as she nodded, "That’s right."
Yuchi nodded and continued:
"So, when asking for help, if someone helps you for free, it’s out of kindness. If they don’t help, you can’t force them. So Yuchi being helpful is out of kindness, not helping is reasonable. You can’t expect to easily know everything without giving anything in return, right?"
"The world isn’t your playground."
Song Yinghan seemed to understand a bit: "So, you wanted me to watch the sunrise with you to remind me I need to give something in return?"
"But..."
"But I’m a big shot, why should I give anything at all?"
Song Yinghan blinked as she looked at Yuchi.
Yuchi: "..."
Song Yinghan: "..."
Double standards, aren’t we, great beauty Song!
If it weren’t for all the people around, Yuchi would have really wanted to pinch her cheek, not knowing what goes on in her head—this is the mindset of the Celestial Capital Department? Witnessed it.
With a disgruntled smile, he said: "Never mind anything else, if you someday end up at this Canglan City’s Celestial Capital Department again, and another big shot comes to investigate this kind of stuff, aren’t you going to be uncooperative too?"
Today you’re playing the investigator, but someday you might be the one being investigated, would you cooperate then?
No, right?
Song Yinghan was momentarily dazed, bewildered: "Seems like that’s right."
After saying this, there was a bit of inexplicable embarrassment... awkward embarrassment.
"Pfft!"
"’Seems like that’s right’, it obviously is."
"You Celestial Capital Department folks have such quirks, coming from the Observatory, thinking you’re immaculate and so impressive?"
As the great beauty Song slowly nodded, Yuchi added, "So if you really want to get anything from someone, play it straight and either pay up or offer some other reward."
And he followed up with:
"Even fugitives have bounties on them."
"Just seeking legitimate profits, not greedy gain, why not give out the due rewards, nobody owes us anything."
