Have No Money to Eat.

“A?” Yin Qiao’s face suddenly turned sour.
“Right, did you guys…… bring money?” Jing Yue asked while suddenly stopping her footsteps, staring at the two persons who were Yin Qiao and Xing Er.
Yin Qiao blinked and shook her head. While Xing Er, he just stared blankly at Jing Yue just like that. This made Jing Yue unable to help but become doubtful, ‘This Xing Er, there is no way he doesn’t understand what money is, right?’
“Ai……” Jing Yue sat on a stone dike at the river bank cupping her chin on her hands, shaking her feet and watching the ripples on the water before finally heaving a sigh. She turned her head to look at the wooden loglike Xing Er who stood beside her and asked, “Hasn’t Yin Qiao come back yet ah?”
“……” Xing Er shook his head.
“…… I should have let you be the one to go and get some money. It’s already been half a day and you haven’t said a word, boring me to death!!!” Jing Yue said, glaring at Xin Er with a resentful expression on her face.
Xing Er, he was really being wronged ah…… His master had strictly forbidden him from having any close contact with Jing Yue. If he could speak less, then he should just speak less, as long as he could protect Huang Fei, it should do. Right now he was executing master’s order perfectly. He was absolutely not slacking off in the slightest.
Looking at Xing Er’s face that didn’t even have the slightest change of expression, Jing Yue suddenly became angry. She stood on the stone dike in anger, furiously pointing at Xing Er, saying, “I just don’t believe that today I can’t make you laugh!”
Jing Yue bared her teeth, pulling a face at Xing Er in an attempt to make him laugh. Her expression practically looked just like someone who was having a fit. Jing Yue was about to be tired to death trying to mess with him. Xing Er however, was still the same as before, not having even the slightest reaction. Seeing Jing Yue’s behavior, Xing Er silently muttered in his heart, ‘Master, quickly send Huang Fei to a mental prison, I really can’t bear any longer!!!’
“Jing Yue?” Just at the moment when Jing Yue was ready to give up, a call suddenly came from behind. Jing Yue doubtfully turned around to look, forgetting for a moment that she was still standing on the stone dike. Her next footsteps landed on empty air as she directly fell towards the lake.
“Huang Fei!” There was a sudden wave of worry in Xing Er’s eyes as he abruptly extended his hand to pull Jing Yue’s hand, using all his power to haul her back. After taking several steps back, and noticing the shocked expression of Jing Yue, he slowly composed himself as he released her hand and said, “Offended Huang Fei.”
Jing Yue breathe easily. She patted Xing Er’s shoulder happily and said, “The reaction was quick enough.”
“Jing Yue, are you alright?” a familiar voice said. Jing Yue finally turned to look at the person who was hastily coming towards her with a frightened expression on his face. Turned out it was Fang ZiCheng, and also…… Jing Lang?
“I’m alright, you guys…… why are you here?” Jing Yue asked and blinked her eyes, staring at the two persons, Fang ZiCheng and Jing Lang.
“It’s been a long time since I met Jing Lang, we made an appointment to go out and meet today. We really didn’t expect to meet you here.” Fang ZiCheng inspected Jing Yue up and down, breathing freely once he was certain that Jing Yue was uninjured. He then stared at Jing Yue and then at that stone dike, the look of reproach visible in his eyes.
“You really dared to stand on that stone dike, not really taking your own safety as something important.” Fang ZiCheng reprimanded.
“Hahaha…… Am I not alright?” Jing Yue stuck her tongue out. She stared at the two and said, “The two of you want to go play? Where? Take me along okay? I’m about to be bored to death!”
Fang ZiCheng blinked and stared at her, he then asked, “E…… We’re going to Jin Yan Lou, do you want to go too?”
Having heard what Fang ZiCheng had said, Jing Yue’s eyes instantly went bright. She asked, “Jin Yan Lou? Is it a place to eat?”
“Wei (hey)…… You wouldn’t be having no money to eat right?” Seeing Jing Yue’s ‘I’m hungry’ expression, Fang ZiCheng’s eyes instantly widened in horror, ‘How many times has it been? Every time he sees Jing Yue, she was always cadging for food and drinks.’
