Chapter 382: Sniveling
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although Yu Han did not need him to work with her now, as her assistant, Lang Yu felt that he could not just do nothing and get a salary for nothing. Hence, he decided to go to the apartment to make lunch and dinner for Yu Han while Yu Han was working hard to prepare for the exams. He wanted to ensure that she could keep up with the nutrition and then welcome the upcoming college entrance examination in her best condition.
Bai Chao slept until past four in the afternoon before waking up vaguely. Seeing that there was no one else in the house, he knew that Lang Yu must have gone back.
He touched his stomach. He had not eaten for the entire day. When he woke up, he felt that his stomach was empty and he urgently needed to eat. Hence, he got up and found two packets of instant noodles in his luggage.
This morning, he walked around the first floor and knew that there was a kettle and some cups, plates, knives, and forks there, so he wanted to go downstairs to boil water and eat the instant noodles.
However, when he turned around, he saw the key and note on the table. He picked them up and saw the words left by Lang Yu. It was a few short lines. He read them for almost a minute and scolded softly with a sniffle, “This young punk is so kind.”
Even his ex-wife had never been so attentive to him. It had to be said that it felt good to be remembered so much. It was no wonder that Yu Han did not hesitate to offend Fang Qing to snatch this assistant over.
Bai Chao put down the note and looked at the two packets of instant noodles. One packet had braised beef flavor, and the other packet had spicy beef flavor. These were his favorite flavors.
However, since there was something else to eat now, how could he be willing to eat instant noodles? Hence, Bai Chao immediately threw the two packets of instant noodles on the table mercilessly. Then, he cheered and ran downstairs.
The moment he opened the fridge, he saw that it was filled with seven to eight portions of food, a bag of buns, and a bag of dumplings. He said happily, “Looks like 1 don’t have to worry about food for the next week.”
He made a selection inside and took out a large plate of rice. According to Lang Yu’s instructions, he lifted a portion of the lid and placed it in the microwave.
During the heating of his meal, he clicked on his cell phone and sent a message to his good friend Tu Sheng. [Send me a 200 yuan red packet.]
Tu Sheng was very surprised to see the message. Bai Chao had actually asked to borrow money. It had to be known that Bai Chao had always been a prideful person. He rarely asked his friends for help even when he was in trouble.
Previously, if it wasn’t for the fact that he really didn’t have a place to stay, he wouldn’t have said that he wanted to stay at his place. Even so, he had agreed that he would pay the rent to him.
Yet, Bai Chao was actually borrowing money from him. Even though it was only 200 yuan.
Tu Sheng immediately made a video call. “Do you have nothing to eat? If that’s the case, I’ll transfer 2,000 yuan to you.”
As the saying went, friends of the poor were basically also poor. As a working adult who had no savings at all, Tu Sheng did not have much money on him. 2,000 yuan was the most money he could fork out to support his friends. It should be barely enough for Bai Chao’s monthly food expenses.
Coincidentally, the microwave dinged. The food was already hot. Smelling the fragrance in the air, Bai Chao snorted proudly. “Who said I don’t have food? Someone thought of sending me food.”
Tu Sheng snorted. “Who’s so kind-hearted to actually want to send you food?”
“Why do you care who sent it? Anyway, I have food to eat now. That’s enough,” Bai Chao said fiercely. “Hurry up and send me 200 yuan in red packets.”
Although he still had to eat, as a small assistant, Lang Yu’s salary would not be too high. His financial situation would not be very good. He could not eat his food for free.
Hence, Bai Chao still wanted to return the money for food to him. However, he only had dozens of yuan in cash on him now. He had roughly calculated just now and it was not enough to pay for these meals. That was why he asked Tu Sheng.
Tu Sheng asked uncertainly, “Is 200 yuan really enough?”
Of course, 200 yuan was not enough, so it was only enough to pay for the food in the fridge. Hence, after this week, Bai Chao still had to rely on his remaining dozens of yuan and those packets of instant noodles to survive.
However, Bai Chao was carefree. He thought that he would use the dozens of yuan to buy a big bag of steamed buns back. He would not starve to death even if he ate one a day, so he said affirmatively, “200 yuan is enough.”
Seeing that he was so insistent, Tu Sheng could only send him 200 yuan and add: [If you don’t have enough money, ask me for it. It’s not embarrassing.]
Bai Chao ignored this sentence and sent 200 yuan to Lang Yu.
Lang Yu replied with a question mark..
