Yun Chen smiled and touched Lin Xi's head, knowing that although this girl was not very good at talking, she had good intentions.

Yun Chen thought for a while and felt that what Lin Hao said was right. Those who left had already left and could not come back. The remaining people should be thinking about how to live well.

Yun Chen got off the bed, washed his face, and then took Lin Xi to his mother's noodle shop for dinner.

Because it was only five o'clock, there were not many people coming for dinner, and there were still many seats. Lin Xi found a seat where she could see the TV and sat down. Yun Chen was afraid that it would block Lin Xi's view and prevent her from seeing the TV, so he didn't sit down.

Opposite me, I sat directly next to her.

While waiting, Yun Chen had nothing to do so he checked his phone. He happened to see Ye Yutong posting a friend circle about going out to play, which contained nine photos of her playing outside.

In the photo, Ye Yutong is dressed more casually, a simple solid-color sweatshirt and a pair of black pants, and a pair of very clean white sneakers on his feet. He is smiling happily in the photo, and he is very energetic.

When Lin Xi saw Yun Chen looking at his phone and giggling, he probably was looking at something good, so he put his head towards it.

"Is this Ye Yutong?"

Yun Chen nodded.

"So Yun Chen, you like this kind of thing."

Lin Xi said.

"What I like is not the type, I like the person."

Yun Chen casually clicked a like and scrolled down. After casually scrolling through it, Yun Chen's mother came.

Yun Chen's mother served two bowls of noodles to the two of them, and then told him that his father would be back in a few days.

Then my mother took out two hundred yuan from her pocket and gave it to Yun Chen.

"You did pretty well in the last exam. Teacher Zhou told me that your English is not good. If you can improve your English, you will definitely be able to pass the exam."

"It's quite hard for you to make up classes every night now. Buy some things you want to buy, and take Lin Xi out for fun when you have nothing to do."

Yun Chen looked at Lin Xi, who was watching the TV blankly next to him.

Then Yun Chen's mother took out another thousand yuan and patted Lin Xi.

"Our family Lin Xi also did very well in the exam. When she has nothing to do, she teaches Yun Chen English and uses the money to buy some beautiful clothes."

Yun Chen's mother smiled and put the thousand yuan in front of Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was at a loss when Yun Chen's mother gave her the money. She looked at Yun Chen and didn't know what to do.

"Take it."

Yun Chen said that although the two people did not give much, Yun Chen knew that this was the living expenses given by Lin Hao.

Lin Xi took the money after listening to Yun Chen's words, and even said "thank you" to her mother several times.

"Okay, I'm going to work, you can eat."

After Yun Chen's mother finished speaking, she stood up and gave a few instructions in Yun Chen's ear before leaving.

"Girls of Lin Xi's age love to be pretty, and she is relatively introverted and doesn't have many friends here. You can take her to shopping malls when you have time."

"Don't say I'm partial. This is the living expenses given by my family. If you don't have enough money, ask me for it."

Yun Chen nodded. In fact, he didn't care at all if his mother gave Lin Xi more money. It was normal for girls of this age to spend more than boys. Moreover, Lin Hao would also give Lin Xi a beating every month in the name of Lin Xi's parents.

living expenses.

After his mother left, Yun Chen noticed Lin Xi sitting in a panic, shaking very badly.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Yun Chen shook Lin Xi's shoulders, wondering what was wrong with her.

Lin Xi was startled by Yun Chen.

"Yun Chen, what should I do? Your family is bankrupt."

Lin Xi said hesitantly.

"Huh? How can you go bankrupt?"

Yun Chen didn't understand what Lin Xi said.

Lin Xi took out the thousand yuan that her mother had just given her.

"That's a hundred yuan! Your mother gave it to me, isn't your family going to be out of money?"

Yun Chen then remembered that Lin Xi had no idea about money. She was just like a child who thought that one hundred yuan was too much and she could buy anything. In addition, Lin Hao usually took her shopping in the past. Lin Xi had no idea about prices at all.

I don't understand.

Only occasionally did Lin Hao ask her to buy something, but basically the things he bought were very cheap, so he only gave her fifty yuan or twenty yuan.

So in Lin Xi's eyes, one hundred yuan is already a lot, let alone ten bills worth one hundred yuan.

It was difficult for Yun Chen to explain to Lin Xi how rich one hundred yuan was. He could only tell her that the money would not bankrupt their family, nor would it put great financial pressure on our family.

Lin Xi felt relieved after hearing this, and then passed the money to Yun Chen.

"What are you doing for me?"

Yun Chen asked doubtfully.

"Because, because I don't know how to spend money, just give it to Yun Chen."

Yun Chen felt it was necessary to let Lin Xi learn to spend money and put the money back into her hands.

"At least you should try the joy of consumption. I'll take you to the mall tomorrow."

For Yun Chen, one thousand yuan can buy a pair of brand-name sneakers and a lot of skins. Even if it is used for eating and drinking, Yun Chen feels that since Lin Xi’s wish is to be like ordinary people, she must first

Learn to spend money and experience the feeling of consumption.

"Are there any potato chips in the mall?"

Lin Xi asked the question that she only cared about.

"Of course. It's no problem to buy more than a hundred packs."

Lin Xi's eyes immediately lit up when she heard more than a hundred bags of potato chips, and she promised to go to the mall with Yun Chen tomorrow.

Yun Chen saw that the season was about to change and he wanted to buy himself some clothes or something. It would be nice to have someone to go shopping with him. He seemed to have never gone shopping with any friends. Sometimes he went with his mother.

When I go shopping, I feel envious when I see many people my own age with their classmates or lovers.

"By the way, Yun Chen, what does your father do?"

Lin Xi suddenly asked while eating noodles.

Yun Chen stopped holding the chopsticks in his hand. Lin Xi almost forgot what his father did for a living, even if he didn't ask Yun Chen.

"He is the cameraman. They have a dedicated team that basically takes pictures of everything."

Yun Chen remembered that his father had loved taking pictures since he was a child. He heard from his grandfather that when Yun Chen's father first started working, he saved up money to buy a camera and took pictures when he had nothing to do.

Later, when my father and mother opened a noodle shop, they couldn't stop their interest in taking photos. They took photos in the noodle shop every day.

Later, after Yun Chen's father found a job related to photography, he began to travel frequently. Sometimes he only came back once every six months, and often left again after only a few days.

However, unlike his father, Yun Chen was not interested in taking photos at all. In Yun Chen's eyes, they were just a few photos.

"You wouldn't understand. Photos are something that can record beautiful moments and preserve human memories. Many of the contents in photos are rare. A small photo has infinite value."

This is what Yun Chen's father often said to Yun Chen before.

It sounded reasonable to Yun Chen, but he still couldn't arouse his interest in photography, and he had no photography skills at all. The pictures on his phone were basically emoticons, and he had never taken any photos.
