Chapter 350: The Debt
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jin Nian thought for a while and said, “How about this? I’ll pay in installments.
I’ll return to you after I save up some pocket money. Don’t say no.”
Lu An nodded in agreement. “Alright.”
Jin Nian smiled in satisfaction. She opened the phone box and fiddled with the latest model.
Lu An already had a similar phone. The electronic devices he had were always the latest models, but Jin Nian had never used such an expensive phone. There were too many functions in it. Jin Nian was not used to it.
The two of them leaned against each other. Lu An held the phone and bent to teach Jin Nian how to use it and what new functions it had.
Under the streetlights, the tall and short shadows stuck together. Lu An bent slightly to accommodate the height of Jin Nian. The young man’s charming thoughts were written on his face but it was hidden by the night, so she did not notice.
Jin Nian, who had mastered the usage of the phone very quickly, had a look of novelty on her face. She pulled Lu An along and stayed there for more than half an hour. However, when she thought of the price of this phone, Jin Nian felt her heartache. This phone was enough to buy four or five of the previous cell phone with what she earned from working.
Lu An joked. “If you call me brother, then my things are yours. There’s no need to be so clear about the relationship between us siblings.”
Originally, Lu An was also prepared to give the phone to Jin Nian. But this girl was not willing to take it for free and insisted on paying in installments.
Jin Nian yawned and rolled her eyes. “Don’t underestimate me. I’ll pay you back.”
Lu An had to remind her of something. “Didn’t you say that you wanted to call me ‘Brother’ tonight?”
“When did I say that?” asked Jin Nian shamelessly.
Lu An couldn’t help but laugh. How could he not understand Jin Nian’s temper? She seemed to have a good temper and a gentle personality, but if she was unwilling to do something, she would not do it even if you put a knife to her neck.
“How about this? You work for me to pay off the debt.” Lu An suggested as he stroked his chin.
“Work for you?” Jin Nian was a little interested. “What does young master want me to do?”
Lu An smiled. “It’s very simple. When I play basketball, you just have to pass me water and towels. How about that?”
“Sure!” Jin Nian agreed without hesitation.
An expensive phone was indeed different. Jin Nian had used the phone for many years. After all, Jin Nian had paid the debt for two years for the cost of this phone. She served Lu An drinks like a servant girl. Other than that, she also had to accompany Lu An to eat every day.
Lu An had said that as long as Jin Nian was willing to call him brother, then all debts would be written off.
Jin Nian didn’t want to. She didn’t call him that even once.
After so many years, Lu An couldn’t help but recall what had happened back then as he sat at the table of the class reunion.
“I’ve already noticed that something was going on between the two of you. I was the one who helped you pass Jin Nian a note when you were arguing!” said Wang Yang with a smile.
Lu An said teasingly, “I don’t dare to argue with her. She’s the one who’s ignoring me.”
Jin Nian immediately retorted, “Nonsense. You’ve quarreled with me a lot. You didn’t give in to me at all when we were in school. Now that you’ve grown up, you’re much gentler.”
“Jin Nian, to be honest, I liked Lu An’s roguish appearance when I was in school. At that time, I even asked you to help me give him a love letter! Now that I think about it, the feelings of a teenage girl are just admiration. I don’t like Lu An anymore. I have my Hubby now!” You Ya smiled and hugged the young man beside her. They looked at each other with happiness on their faces.
Jin Nian said, “Lu An was very popular at that time. All the girls in the school liked him.”
You Ya whispered into Jin Nian’s ear, “His market is not bad now either! There are probably many women who like him. You have to keep an eye on him. Don’t let other women get close to him.”
Jin Nian thought that You Ya was right. There were many women around Lu An. If she wasn’t careful, someone would try to seduce him.
However, Jin Nian felt that it was still up to a man to realize this kind of thing. If he wanted to cheat, she could not stop him. Fortunately, Lu An was very good at this. The secretaries and assistants around him were all men. Even now, he rarely talked about cooperation with young women.
If a man wanted to avoid arousing suspicion, he would have many ways to do so. All deviant behavior was because the man did not strictly restrain himself from the beginning. For example, Lu An, who basically did not interact with young women, would never have an affair.
At this moment, someone suggested taking a group photo. The owner of the restaurant was Chinese. He took a photo of them. Then, someone posted the photo in the group chat..
