Chapter 84 - 83: For Anitaqing and He’s Jade + Update 4
Shi Yang stayed at home for a week before hurrying back to school as a client called him for another side job.
Before leaving, Shi Yang stuffed five hundred yuan into Zhao Meimei’s hand, originally intending to give a thousand, but worried that Liu Xiue and Zhao Dazhuang would find out and cause unnecessary trouble.
Shi Yang instructed, "Hide it well and keep it for daily expenses."
Zhao Meimei took the money and tucked it into her dictionary, placing a bill every few pages so it was impossible to notice from the outside once closed.
In reality, Zhao Meimei didn’t have much need for money; her mom usually gave her a few yuan for emergencies, and their house had ample supplies. Whenever she wanted to eat or drink, she could just grab it, put it in her backpack, and conveniently take it to school.
Two days after Shi Yang left, Xu Xu came over to play with Zhao Meimei. They both lay on the living room coffee table doing homework.
Zhao Meimei, worn out from writing, leaned back on the sofa, animatedly sharing her experiences of visiting the provincial capital with Xu Xu.
Xu Xu listened, his heart pounding, "You went by yourself?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Meimei bragged, lifting her chin high, "I got off the bus and went straight to Brother Yangyang’s school. At the gate, I made sure to find out where his department was. I searched the teaching building, then remembered it was holiday break, so I checked out the dorms. I had just reached the building when the old man in charge of the dorm stopped me, refusing to let me go upstairs."
When mentioning this, Zhao Meimei couldn’t contain her excitement, "You have no idea how dumbfounded I was. Eventually, the old man fetched a student to help call someone upstairs. Before long, Brother Yangyang appeared."
