Chapter 18: The money was robbed
Xia Rui walked out of the door of the restaurant with her head held high, but she wilted after not taking a few steps.
I'm angry, but I don't have the job, what should I do now? I'm about to face the reality of moving out, what money will I get to rent a house at that time? And the expenses......
She took out the money in her pocket and counted it, and couldn't help but sigh.
There were more than a hundred left, plus this thousand eight, less than two thousand. Suddenly, she missed the two hundred bills that were slapped on Mr. Wang's table before. Why be angry, I have worked many shifts for free before, and I have never received overtime pay. These two hundred are a small compensation, why are they stupidly thrown out for that poor self-esteem?
It's silly.
When she was annoyed, there was a gust of wind in her ears, and someone suddenly grabbed the money in her hand and ran away!
Two hundred-dollar bills fell to the ground, and she hurriedly picked them up and chased them in the direction where the man was running......!
This is the first time that someone has stolen it, no, it was robbed of money, and she felt that it was really back today. Jobs are lost, money is lost.
Therefore, she had to recover the money even if she tried her best.
But after all, her physical strength is limited, and after chasing two streets, she is already out of breath. At this time, I found that there was really someone in front of her who was chasing her, it was a young man, and his back looked quite tall, and the key was that his legs were very long.
One more street, and she lost her target, including the young man.
She was too tired to do so, so she sat down on a chair in the pedestrian street.
Truth be told, she's a pretty fast runner and has previously competed in the school's 100-meter race, where she finished third. But I didn't expect to meet a super strong thief today, I guess he was a long-distance runner before.
Xia Rui could only pin her hopes on the young man, hoping that he could help him recover the money. When the time comes, she will definitely invite him to dinner and thank him well.
Five minutes passed, and the lad did not show up.
Ten minutes passed, and there was still no show.
Twenty minutes passed, and the young man was still nowhere to be seen.
Xia Rui looked at the time, there was still more than half an hour to go to class, and she had to go back to school now.
At this moment, she is extremely depressed, it seems that this money will not come back, she can only face reality.
She looked at the two slipped-through coins in her hand, and was glad that she was not destitute. After waiting patiently for a while, she felt hopeless, so she was about to get up, but someone suddenly sat down beside her.
"Hey, your money......" The long arm reached out in front of her, and the breath came out of breath.
Xia Rui: "......"
The fair-skinned man was dragging a stack of money in his big hand.
The money was recovered?
Xia Rui grabbed it excitedly and counted it quickly.
Hey, three thousand???
She froze. It's obviously more than 1,900, and it should have been robbed of more than 1,700 when two of them fell on the ground, how could it become a whole 3,000 now?!
Only then did she look up at the person who handed over the money, and she was immediately stunned.
“…… Is that you?!"
Unexpectedly, it was Qiao Yu who pursued her before who helped her chase the thief!
Qiao Yu was already sweating profusely at the moment, he scratched his head and smiled, showing his neat white teeth, "What's the matter, is the money right?"
Xia Rui didn't say a word and stuffed the money into his hand, with a displeased expression, "This is not my money, you better take it back!"
It was obvious that Qiao Yu did not catch up with the thief, so he gave her his money.
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course it's yours, is it not enough to count a few of them?"
Xia Rui corrected lightly, "It's not that it's not enough, it's too much." ”
Qiao Yu scratched his head again, and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, the thief ran too fast, chased several streets and finally lost ......"
Xia Rui was a little puzzled, and said: "Since you haven't caught up, why do you want to give me your own money, I have nothing to do with you, do you think I can take this money?"
Qiao Yu didn't say anything, and took the money curtly.
Xia Rui saw him sweating profusely, and realized that he seemed to be talking too heavily just now, after all, people's intentions are good, not to mention that she has helped her chase the thief for so long, there is no credit and hard work. So she took out a box of tissues from her bag, took out one and handed it to him, "Look at you who are tired, take it and wipe your sweat." ”
Qiao Yu immediately showed a happy expression and quickly took the tissue.
Even though he cared for a reason, he still felt happy.
Xia Rui paused for a moment and said, "Actually, I should thank you for helping me chase the thief, it's just that you give me money like this, so I feel that you are taking pity on me......"
Qiao Yu hurriedly explained, "That's not the case, I just don't want to see you disappointed...... I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. ”
Xia Rui looked at him and felt that this boy was really sincere.
"Do you know it's me who lost the money?" Xia Rui couldn't help but ask. She didn't seem to see him just now.
Qiao Yu scratched his head again and said shyly, "I saw you when you came out of that restaurant, you seem to have something on your mind." That money is what you get paid for working at this restaurant, right?"
Xia Rui has to say that this guy really knows her well enough to know about her working in this restaurant.
He continued, "Actually, I've come to eat several times before, but you're too busy to see me......"
In fact, every time he didn't dare to face her, he asked his friends to help settle the bill after eating.
Xia Rui: "......"
Is this boy really so fond of her? But what is wrong with her to make him so interested?
Just about to say something, Qiao Yu suddenly asked, "Do you have a class in the afternoon?" I don't have a class in the afternoon, why don't we change places......
Xia Rui jumped up in shock, "Oops, I'm going to be late...... See you soon!"
After saying that, he quickly got up and ran away.
Qiao Yu looked at her back as she left in a hurry, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.
This girl is really cute.
I used to think she was very cold and arrogant, and she was a little high-minded, but from today's incident, she is actually a very down-to-earth girl. The point is, it's still very simple and cute.

Because the money was lost, Xia Rui didn't listen to the afternoon class, and it was time for school in a trance.
Wei Xuan, who went home together, asked her, "You don't look good, is something wrong?"
Xia Rui was thinking about her mind and didn't hear him say anything.
Wei Xuan patted her on the shoulder, repeated what she had just said, and said, "Is it because of that Qiao Zhen again?"
Xia Rui frowned and glared at him, "Don't mention him, okay?"
Wei Xuan stood up and asked solemnly, "Did he bully you?"
Xia Rui raised her hand and stroked her forehead, and said with some annoyance: "Can you ignore my business, I'm really fine, and he didn't bully me!"
Wei Xuan wanted to say something, but Qiao Yu didn't know where to come out, he mustered up the courage to walk up to Xia Rui and said, "Xia Rui, I want to invite you to dinner today, I don't know if it's okay?"
Before Xia Rui could answer, Wei Xuan replied on his behalf, "No! Xia Rui is busy, how can I have time to accompany you......"
Before the words fell, I heard Xia Rui say, "Okay, but I have to invite you!" After speaking, he walked quickly towards the school gate.
Qiao Yu didn't expect to succeed in making an appointment with a beautiful woman this time, and she was happy all of a sudden, and quickly followed.
Hey, what's the situation?
Wei Xuan stood there with a blank face, unable to recover for a long time. In the past, Xia Rui didn't want to see Qiao Yu the most, but today she actually said that she wanted to invite him to dinner?
Hell yes!
