067 The Secret of the Pendant
In the next few days, Lu Xiaorou came to the library every day to study by herself, and even if she was not accompanied by Su Mo or others, she could concentrate on her study tasks.
A series of good news followed, after a family meeting, Uncle Xiaorou's family agreed that Xiaorou would go to the school to live in a boarding school, and the accommodation and living expenses would be borne by the other two families, but Uncle Xiaorou's family had to visit Xiaorou at the school at least once a month.
In addition, the school leaders of No. 14 Middle School approved Xiaorou's application for borrowing, and she went to the school to take the test this weekend, and as long as the score reached the standard, she could return to the third year of high school and register for the college entrance examination as a fresh graduate.
As for the only bad news, it is the amount of the borrowing fee.
Su Mo was stunned for a moment when he heard that the amount was as high as 22,000 instead of more than 10,000 as he said at the beginning, but he still didn't care at all when he slapped his swollen face and became fat in front of his uncle's house.
Su Mo's own summer job, tutoring, and some program outsourcing work on the outsourcing website platform added up to 13,000 (most of it is naturally outsourced), as for the bitcoin side, Xi Jiangyue used the home machine at home to mine the mine, so she didn't know the specific situation of mining if she didn't go home, but before entering the school, they had been right, so far the mining machine has mined 7.23 bitcoins, of course, and the current bitcoin market price is still less than 1 dollar, Su Mo will not be stupid enough to take this thing out and change hands.
The 13,000 I saved, plus the remaining 4,000 for the living expenses and tuition fees given by my parents at the beginning of school, all add up to 17,000 yuan.
There's still 5,000 yuan left, so where are you going to get it......
Is it true that you can sell your kidney?
Xiao Rou didn't know that the amount of the borrowing fee exceeded 20,000, which was learned by Su Mo and Uncle Xiao Rou by phone privately.
Originally, more than 10,000 yuan made her very uncomfortable, and if she knew that she would have to pay so much money for her, she would definitely feel so guilty that she didn't want to study.
So......
"Why are you so interested today, and you just disbanded and asked me out for milk tea?" Xia Yili held her cheeks and looked at Su Mo with a serious face, "I guess...... Do you have something to ask me again? β
"Although we are just a couple in disguise, I will tell you directly if there is anything to say," Su Mo nodded, "I urgently need a sum of money now." β
"What do you want money for?"
"It's about Xiaorou's borrowing fee." Su Mo explained to Xia Yili about the borrowing fee.
"You shouldn't have paid for this money in the first place, they changed their words temporarily, and it wasn't necessarily the borrowing fee that they wanted. I think you should investigate a little deeper, after all, more than 20,000 yuan is not a small amount. β
Xia Yili analyzed the current situation for Su Mo.
However, although Bad Yili is very smart, she also lacks some life experience.
"It doesn't matter how much money the truth is...... Even if this matter is investigated clearly, it is inevitable that the relationship with the other party will be stiffened. In fact, it doesn't matter what they do, but they are likely to vent their anger on Xiao Rou. Xiaorou now has no parents to protect her, and her grandfather, who only loves her, is sick and hospitalized, so before she finishes high school, she still tries to build a good relationship with her family. β
And if what Qingqing said is true, Xiao Rou is the child of her "grandfather" and other women, then her situation is a hundred times more dangerous than what Su Mo described now, which is the truth that Bad Yili still doesn't know.
After listening to Su Mo's explanation, Xia Yili nodded and fiddled with the drink straw in her hand, "I didn't think about this, it's really not easy to deal with, it's just ......"
"It's okay, you don't have to force yourself, you can lend me some depending on your situation, and I'll figure out how to ...... the rest."
"Don't worry, I'm not saying five thousand dollars is too much, when do you want it?"
"Hmm...... As soon as possible, tomorrow is the best. β
"Then I'll take it out for you tomorrow."
"Well, it's a good ......" Su Mo also breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you so much...... However, if you lend me so much money, are you enough to live on your own? β
Xia Yili looked at Su Mo curiously while drinking milk tea, "Of course I will leave room for myself, and I don't look like someone...... You gave away all the money, what should you do? β
"During this time, I can only save money," Su Mo paused, "Then, when the military training is over, I want to find some part-time jobs and pay back the money you borrowed from me." β
"Don't you participate in college clubs?"
"Hmm...... Not much interest. β
"I'm quite interested...... Xia Yili looked a little lost, "I originally wanted to join a club with you, after all, I waited for class, and I didn't usually have the opportunity to meet......"
Su Mo couldn't stand Yili the most, he couldn't see this.
"Also...... It's not settled yet. If you want to join a club, we can keep a ......."
Then accompany Yili to be a ghost officer, and go again when you have time.
"Hee-hee...... Looks like I still have some place in your heart. Xia Yili smiled, "I thought you had always had only Xiao Rou in your heart." β
"Ah...... It's not ......"
"And Ayako?"
"Uh......" Su Mo felt a little faintly bad.
"Since that's all I have to say, then, as interest on lending you money...... Is there any secret that can't be told that can be told to me alone? β
Xia Yili stared at Su Mo expectantly, this was a good opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob, but he couldn't just let him go.
"That'...... What would you like to hear? β
"I'll listen to whatever you think you should tell me." Xia Yili put her hands on her cheeks and looked at Su Mo like a flower.
"Then ......"
Su Mo wanted to tell Yili some stories about Yili in his previous life, but those ordinary daily lives felt a little difficult to talk about.
It's not a great story.
Even if you tell the current Yili, you're just betting on whether she will resonate.
It seems that I can only take out that killer feature.
Su Mo gently unbuttoned the collar, and Xia Yili was stunned.
Then she watched Su Mo take out a pendant from her chest and hand it to Xia Yili.
"To ...... Give me this thing that hangs on your chest every day like a family heirloom? β
"You've noticed...... Su Mo said embarrassedly, "I didn't give it to you, I just wanted to show you." β
Xia Yili took the pendant handed over by Su Mo, and the pendant still had the temperature of his chest on it.
It's so warm.
"Yes...... What did Xia Yili give you? β
"In a way...... Sort of. β
In a way......
It was a pear-shaped doll bronze statue she had never seen before, squinting at her eyes with a Buddhist expression, and at first glance it looked a little cute.
"Does it have any name? It looks like a theme character like Ali. β
"Hmm...... You can call it a pear. β
"Pear? What a strange name......"
Xia Yili gently shook the pear pendant, "But ...... Showing me this, there must be something else, right? Otherwise, it's too boring. β
"Hmm...... I can perform a little magic trick for you with this pendant. β
"Magic? Do you still do magic? β
Xia Yili suddenly became interested, "How do you do magic?" β
"Look at it well......" Su Mo showed his hands that didn't have anything, and then took the pear pendant from Xia Yili's hand.
"As long as I silently call someone's name in my heart, and that person is close to me, this pear pendant in my hand will flash and help me find her."
"It's really fake...... Xia Yili pouted, "I don't believe it." β
"Then, you'll be in good hands."
Su Mo wrapped the pear pendant in the palm of his hand with both hands, and then closed his eyes.
Xia Yili carefully observed the movements of Su Mo's handsβhe didn't make any special movements, just slowly spread his hands.
Her beautiful eyes were wide open, and there was a faint white fluorescence reflected in her pupils.
And the frequency of the pear pendant's flash also increased as it gradually approached Yili, until when it fell into Yili's hands, it turned into a light that no longer shines.
"So......" Xia Yili was shocked for a while before coming back to her senses, "At the station, you actually found me in this way!" You liar. β
"Ah......h Do you have such a strong associative reasoning ability! Su Mo was a little frightened.
And when Xia Yili lowered her head and looked at the pear pendant in her palm, there was a gentle smile in her eyes.
