Chapter 1399: Does He Remember? (Part 1)

As he spoke, he came down from the second floor with a helpless look and walked to Song Jiaqi’s side, "Let’s go."

Song Jiaqi followed behind him. Although she didn’t say anything in retort, she was silently thinking: Aren’t you the one who owes me?

Not in the past life, but in this one!

But she wouldn’t be so unreasonable as to make him repay Song Xiaoxi’s debts.

...

Ye Yang went out fully armed, with both a mask and a hat on.

"I won’t go inside. I’ll wait for you outside."

Though there were plenty of entertainers living in this neighborhood, he still had to play it safe. Besides, it wouldn’t look good if pictures surfaced of him taking a woman shopping in the middle of the night.

He didn’t mind, but if anything, she’d end up taking the blame.

"Alright then." If he wasn’t going in, then he wasn’t going in.

"Wait a minute, was that a look of disappointment just now?" Ye Yang caught a fleeting expression on her face and raised an eyebrow.

"Huh? No..." Song Jiaqi quickly shook her head, "Not at all!"

She patted her face and thought, no way?

Was she still foolishly fantasizing about a potential relationship with Ye Yang?

Though sometimes she’d daydream when bored, thinking about something so unrealistic was something the grind of life had long extinguished.

This kind of thought hadn’t popped up in years, had it just slipped out unintentionally?

It must have been because he came to the supermarket with her, reminding her of some plots.

"You must have seen wrong." After saying this, Song Jiaqi hurriedly entered the supermarket without waiting for him to say anything else.

Urged by the closing time, Song Jiaqi hurriedly bought what she needed and went to check out. Then she reached into her pocket.

Huh? Money?

Song Jiaqi’s face went blank as she frantically patted herself down, finding nothing...

"..."

Could it be? Did she forget her card? Could it have fallen in the car?

The cashier, slightly taken aback, said, "Miss, sorry, if you don’t have money, you’ll have to come back tomorrow; we’re closing after this, and we’ll count everything then."

The shoppers were all residents of the neighborhood, so the cashier wouldn’t offend them. Besides, she didn’t believe anyone living here could be poor, hence her polite demeanor.

"Could you really not wait a bit longer? I think my card’s in the car, just a moment, please? I’ll run and get it right now."

"I’m sorry, but we can’t," the cashier said with a smile, "You see how late it is, we’re waiting to go home and rest."

"I’m really sorry, I could pay you triple your hourly wage, okay? My daughter is waiting for porridge, she’s sick..."

"I’m also in a difficult spot..."

"Then just one minute, just one!" Song Jiaqi said, sprinting towards the exit.

Ye Yang saw her panting heavily and asked in confusion, "What? Why did you come out empty-handed?"

After a few breaths, Ye Yang guessed, "Did you perhaps... forget to bring money?"

Song Jiaqi kept nodding, looking at him hopefully.

"Don’t look at me, I can’t pay for you."

"Please..." Song Jiaqi tugged at his coat, "The cashier desk is about to close, help me... Xiaoxi is hungry."

"Are you sure you want me to use my card?"

"I’ll pay you back!" Song Jiaqi looked at him sincerely, "I’m not the type to casually spend a man’s money. You know where I work, I surely wouldn’t shirk a debt to you!"

"..."

Did she really think he cared about such a small amount of money?
