Chapter 27 Joyful Little Clouds
Under the streetlights, Song Huan emptied the money out of her bag and counted it stack by stack.
Xiao Yunqing squatted down beside him and watched him count.
After counting to the end, Song Huan handed her a stack of money.
"Take it."
Xiao Yunqing was stunned for a moment.
"What?"
"This is your money; the rest is for tuition."
Xiao Yunqing did not answer.
Song Huan stuffed the stack of money into her hand.
"One thousand four hundred and thirty-eight yuan and fifty cents, here's your New Year's money and allowance. Take it home and keep it safe."
Xiao Yunqing held the stack of money and looked down at it.
Then she looked up at him.
"Are you really not going to take the money?"
Song Huan shook her head. "That's enough."
When it comes to money, the more the better, but Song Huan is only interested in the money he earns. He can't feel at ease spending Xiao Yunqing's money.
"Oh……"
Xiao Yunqing nodded and said nothing more.
She folded the money and was about to put it in her pocket when she suddenly heard Song Huan speak.
"Xiao Yunqing".
"Um?"
"Keep this money safe."
Xiao Yunqing looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Song Huan paused for a moment and said, "This is your dowry when you marry me."
Xiao Yunqing was stunned.
The streetlight shone on her face, turning it from white to pink, and from pink to red.
Then she raised her hand and punched his arm.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Song Huan clutched her arm, grimacing in pain.
"Hey, why are you hitting someone?"
"Who told you to talk nonsense!"
Xiao Yunqing blushed and glared at him.
But there was no anger in his eyes, just shyness.
Song Huan chuckled twice.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore."
Xiao Yunqing snorted and stuffed the money into her pocket.
Then neither of them spoke.
A night breeze blew by, carrying a slight chill.
Xiao Yunqing lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Song Huan looked at her profile and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Just then, the sound of a car came from afar.
Song Huan looked up and saw two beams of light coming from the street corner.
"Your dad's car."
Xiao Yunqing's body stiffened.
She took a step back.
"I...I'm leaving now."
Song Huan grabbed her arm.
"Why leave? Just explain it to your uncle and aunt, won't that solve the problem?"
Xiao Yunqing lowered her head and remained silent.
Looking at her, Song Huan suddenly understood what she was afraid of.
He held her hand tightly.
"Don't be afraid."
Xiao Yunqing raised her head and looked at him.
"I'm here."
Xiao Yunqing was stunned for a moment.
Then she pursed her lips and stopped struggling.
The Audi stopped in front of them.
The car door opened, and Xiao Haifeng got out first, followed by Xu Wan.
As soon as Xu Wan got out of the car, she saw two people standing under the streetlight.
She froze for a moment.
Then she walked over quickly.
"Little Cloud!"
Xiao Yunqing trembled slightly, but did not move.
Xu Wan ran up to her and hugged her tightly.
"Little Cloud, where did you go? Mommy..."
Her voice trembled slightly.
Once she calmed down, she felt immense regret for slapping Xiao Yunqing.
Xiao Yunqing was initially stiff as she was held, but then she gradually softened, and tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.
Xiao Haifeng also got out of the car and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene.
After being slapped, Xiao Yunqing ran away from home. The couple searched for her all night, but thankfully she escaped unharmed.
Xiao Haifeng then noticed Song Huan beside him and nodded inwardly, thinking that it must have been Song Huan who found it.
Xu Wan released Xiao Yunqing, cupped her face in her hands, looked at her, and her voice choked with emotion.
"Does it hurt?"
Xiao Yunqing shook her head.
Xu Wan's eyes reddened.
"Mommy was wrong...Mommy shouldn't have hit you..."
Xiao Yunqing stared at her, stunned for a few seconds.
Then she suddenly reached out and hugged Xu Wan.
"mom……"
Xu Wan hugged her tightly, tears streaming down her face.
I'm going crazy...
She's just a child...
How could I possibly do that...?
Song Huan stood to the side, listening to Xu Wan's thoughts, without saying a word.
Xiao Haifeng walked over and patted Xu Wan on the shoulder.
"Okay, stop crying."
Xu Wan wiped away her tears, released Xiao Yunqing, and said, "Mom was wrong, I hope you can forgive Mom..."
Xiao Yunqing suddenly took out the wad of money from his pocket and handed it to Xu Wan.
"Mom, the money isn't lost."
Xu Wan was stunned.
She looked down at the stack of money, then at Xiao Yunqing.
"this……"
Xiao Yunqing glanced at Song Huan, pouted, and didn't say anything.
Song Huan immediately stepped forward and said, "Aunt Xu, the money is at my house. If you want to blame someone, blame me."
Xu Wan remained silent for a few seconds.
Then she looked up at Song Huan.
Song Huan stood there, meeting her gaze.
[This kid...]
[Did Yun Qing give him the money?]
She didn't speak, she just looked at Song Huan.
After a long time, she sighed.
"never mind."
She stuffed the money back into Xiao Yunqing's hand.
"Here you go, keep it safe, this is your tuition fee."
Xiao Yunqing was taken aback. "Mom?"
After Xu Wan finished speaking, she glanced at Song Huan again.
Song Huan couldn't quite understand that look in his eyes.
But it shouldn't be anger.
Xiao Haifeng walked over, patted Xiao Yunqing's head, and then said to Song Huan, "Would you like to come up and sit for a while?"
Song Huan shook her head and said, "No need, Uncle Xiao, my parents are still waiting for me at home."
Xiao Haifeng nodded. After so many things had happened, they did need to deal with things as a family, so he didn't insist that they stay.
Xiao Yunqing nodded, took Xu Wan's hand, and walked towards the stairs.
After taking a couple of steps, she turned back and glanced at Song Huan.
Song Huan waved to her.
She pursed her lips and smiled.
Then I went upstairs.
Song Huan stood under the streetlight, watching Xiao Yunqing's figure disappear into the stairwell.
Then he put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked back.
……
the next day.
Xiao Yunqing arrived early in the morning.
Zhang Xuejuan opened the door, and when she saw her, her face lit up with a smile.
"Little Cloud is here! Come in, come in!"
Xiao Yunqing walked in and greeted her as "Hello, Auntie."
Zhang Xuejuan pulled her to sit down, looking her over from left to right.
"I heard your mom said you lost your money? Did you find it?"
Xiao Yunqing nodded.
"It's been found."
Zhang Xuejuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, that's good. You kid, don't take so much money in the future, it's terrifying."
Xiao Yunqing nodded without saying a word.
Song Huan came out of the room, saw her, and was stunned for a moment.
"So early?"
Xiao Yunqing glanced at him.
"Didn't you say you'd take me out today?"
Song Huan thought for a moment.
He does seem to have said that.
"Okay, let's go."
The two changed their shoes and prepared to go out.
Zhang Xuejuan called from behind.
"Little Cloud, come over for lunch! Auntie will make you braised pork!"
Xiao Yunqing turned around and responded.
"good!"
……
After going downstairs, Song Huan walked in front, with Xiao Yunqing following behind.
After walking for a while, Song Huan suddenly stopped.
"Xiao Yunqing".
"Um?"
"I want to go to an internet cafe."
Xiao Yunqing was stunned.
Are you sure you want to go with me?
Xiao Yunqing's face immediately fell.
"You said yesterday that you would take me with you wherever you go."
Song Huan touched her nose.
Did he say that yesterday?
It seems... probably... maybe... I've already said it.
"Okay, okay, I'll take you."
Xiao Yunqing's complexion improved slightly.
The two walked a little further and passed a milk tea shop.
Song Huan stopped.
"Wait."
He went in, and came out a while later with a cup of honey grapefruit tea in his hand.
He handed it to Xiao Yunqing.
Xiao Yunqing took it and drank a sip.
He squinted.
"It tastes good."
Song Huan smiled and continued walking forward.
Xiao Yunqing followed behind, holding her milk tea and drinking it with great relish.
......
Go to the bank first.
Song Huan stood in front of the ATM and took out a bank card from her pocket.
Xiao Yunqing leaned closer to take a look.
"Where did this card come from?"
"It's my dad's," Song Huan said. "It's a card he doesn't use, but I subtly asked him for the PIN."
Xiao Yunqing's eyes widened.
"You...you stole your dad's card?"
"What do you mean by stealing? He doesn't need it, I'm just borrowing it."
Xiao Yunqing looked at him with a complicated expression.
"You're such a bad child."
Song Huan chuckled.
"Thank you for the compliment."
He deposited his three thousand yuan into the card, then took the card and left.
Xiao Yunqing followed behind, muttering to herself.
"Bad kid...bad kid..."
---
We arrived at the internet cafe.
It's still that same StarCraft internet cafe, and the same blond-haired receptionist.
Song Huan turned on two machines.
Xiao Yunqing followed behind him, pinching her nose.
"Why am I here again... It's awful..."
"I told you not to come."
Xiao Yunqing glared at him, said nothing, and followed him inside to sit down.
Song Huan opened the stock website.
Register an account, link your bank card, and complete a series of steps.
Xiao Yunqing watched from the side, looking completely bewildered.
"What are you doing?"
"Buy stocks."
"oh."
Song Huan opened the Moutai.
Current share price: 31.39 yuan per share.
His heart skipped a beat as he looked at the number.
31.39.
By 2026, this stock could rise to 1400.
Moreover, the shares will be transferred multiple times, so one share now can become 5.02 shares later.
In other words, if you invest 3,000 yuan now, it will increase 264 times in the future.
Nearly 790,000!
He took a deep breath.
Then click "Buy".
All.
One-click all-in.
The words "Transaction successful" popped up on the screen.
Bank card balance: 23.5 yuan.
Song Huan leaned back in her chair and let out a long sigh.
Cool.
Xiao Yunqing, watching from the side, couldn't help but ask.
"The money's gone just like that?"
"Um."
"What if we lose money?"
Song Huan turned to look at her.
"How could we possibly lose money?"
Xiao Yunqing blinked.
How do you know you won't lose money?
"Because I am Song Huan, the stock market guru."
Xiao Yunqing rolled her eyes.
"Stock market guru? I think he's more like a stock market lunatic."
Song Huan ignored her and just smiled.
……
After buying the stocks, he glanced at Xiao Yunqing's screen.
She still had her browser open, I don't know what she was looking at.
Song Huan reached out and turned it off for her.
"Here, let me show you something."
Xiao Yunqing leaned closer.
Song Huan opened a software application.
"What is this?"
QQ.
What is QQ?
"It's a chat tool," Song Huan said. "I'll register one for you, and we can chat on it from now on."
Xiao Yunqing looked at him strangely.
"We see each other every day, why do we need to chat online?"
Song Huan was stunned for a moment.
That's a good question.
There will always be times when we don't see each other.
"oh."
Xiao Yunqing didn't ask any more questions.
After doing this, Song Huan turned around and asked her.
"What name should we choose?"
Xiao Yunqing thought for a moment.
"A cheerful little cloud."
Song Huan nodded and typed it in.
Registration successful.
"Okay, remember this QQ number. The password is my birthday, you know that, right?"
Xiao Yunqing was stunned.
"Why is your password your birthday?"
Song Huan said matter-of-factly, "You're so stupid, what if you forget the password if it's too complicated? Use my birthday, and I can help you find it later."
Song Huan couldn't help but chuckle again. Besides, "Isn't my birthday your birthday too?"
Xiao Yunqing pouted.
"You're the stupid one."
But she didn't say anything more.
[The password is his birthday...]
[Oh yeah, it's my birthday too...]
[Oh well, he's right anyway...]
Song Huan smiled when she heard her thoughts.
"But I'm warning you, don't change your password. If you do, your account will be gone."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunqing nodded, her expression turning serious.
"I see."
Song Huan typed a few more times on the keyboard.
"Okay, I'll add you as a friend now."
A small box popped up on the screen.
Song Xiaoshuai has requested to add you as a friend.
P.S.: Hello, beautiful lady.
Xiao Yunqing's face flushed slightly as she looked at the words.
She secretly glanced at Song Huan.
Song Huan was staring at the screen and didn't look at her.
She took a deep breath, reached out, and started typing on the keyboard.
Da da da.
Da da da.
I tapped a little slowly, using only one finger.
Finally finished ordering.
A small box popped up on the screen.
Hello, cheerful little cloud.
Song Huan smiled when she saw those two words.
Xiao Yunqing blushed as she stared at the screen.
Then she started typing again.
Da da da.
Cheerful Little Cloud: Why do you call yourself Song Xiaoshuai?
Song Huan glanced at it and replied.
Song Xiaoshuai: Because I'm handsome.
Xiao Yunqing burst out laughing.
Cheerful little cloud: Shameless.
Song Xiaoshuai: To be honest.
Xiao Yunqing smiled and continued typing.
The two of them sat in the internet cafe, typing away at the screen.
The smell of smoke was still very strong.
The screen is still a bit shaky.
But Xiao Yunqing felt that it wasn't so hard to get through anymore.
After a while, she suddenly remembered something.
"Song Huan".
"Um?"
"You just said that there will always be times when we won't see each other..."
She paused.
"When will we never see each other again?"
Song Huan paused for a moment while typing.
He turned to look at her.
She stared at the screen, not looking at him, but her ears were red.
Song Huan was silent for a few seconds, then casually said, "Who knows, what will happen in the future."
Xiao Yunqing remained silent.
After a while, she said in a low voice.
"I don't care anyway."
"Whatever?"
"No matter what happens in the future, you have to chat with me every day."
Song Huan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
Xiao Yunqing was satisfied and continued typing.
On the screen, a cheerful little cloud sent a message.
Cheerful little cloud: So what are you doing now?
Song Xiaoshuai: I'm chatting with you.
Cheerful Little Cloud: Nonsense.
Song Xiaoshuai: Then why did you ask?
Xiao Yunqing looked at the screen and laughed out loud.
The sunlight outside the window is just right.
The internet cafe was still as stuffy as ever.
But she felt that this summer vacation was pretty good.
