Next time can be more confident and carefree
Nian Baiyan naturally understood the implication, so after she said half of her last sentence and left the other half unsaid, she freed up one hand to take out her wallet. "How much should I leave for gas money?"
This wallet is not flashy, pure black handmade top layer small cowhide, also like his low-key simplicity, making Su Ye's eyes shine brightly, of course, what shines is the Chairman Mao badge inside the wallet.
"This is it, no work no pay." She got a good deal and smiled slyly, but in her heart she was estimating the amount of money in her purse.
Nian Baiyan smiled shallowly, "You also said it, genuine music is quite expensive."
"This is it." Su Ye hastily took over the wallet, opened it, and found no fancy membership cards. The bank cards from HSBC, Bank of China, and CCB were neatly arranged, with a layer of large denomination bills in between, as well as some foreign currency. The wallet was indeed very clean, so clean that there was only money left.
She didn't need foreign currency, and after pulling out several large bills from inside, she smiled and said, "All the music sold in our store is genuine, and some versions are even out of print. Don't worry, I'll choose music that you're sure to like." She waved the bills in front of him again, "I'm only charging you a 20% commission fee, not taking a single cent more from you."
"Uh-huh."
Nian Baiyan once again displayed his characteristic of being frugal, and Su Ye didn't even have time to analyze his thoughts, only focusing on putting the large bills into her own wallet. Taking advantage of the slowdown, Nian Baiyan glanced at her with his peripheral vision, she was lowering her head to count the money, like a mouse that had found treasure, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips.
The night grew more boisterous, passing through the Sanlitun area where the neon lights had just come on, and leaping over the silver ginkgo trees that cast a glow in the moonlight, Nian Boyan pulled the car into the residential compound.
The neighborhood is very quiet, forming a sharp contrast with the bustling Sanlitun not far away, verifying the comfort of "being quiet in noise".
"Do you live in Building A?" The fire went out, and Yan Bo's tone was slightly surprised.
"Yes, it's the best location in this upscale neighborhood, but I got a great deal." Su Ye pulled her bag, "Want to go upstairs and take a look around, and have some tea?"
"It's not worth visiting." Yan Bojian was elegant and refined, but the words that followed had a slightly deeper meaning, "But since you dare to invite me, I'll really go up and taste your tea."
Su Ye suddenly stopped her actions and saw that he had a hint of teasing intention. He immediately raised his hand to explain, "That... I didn't mean anything else."
"Come to my place and play or go upstairs to sit for a while", in the adult world, is no longer as simple as it was during childhood. The night air is thick, and her casual invitation has changed its flavor when heard by someone with intentions. Yan Bo Yi is such a person, and it's likely that many girls around him have actively invited him out before, but in fact, she just said it out of politeness.
She was afraid that this matter would get worse and worse, so she simply added another sentence, "Now it's really too late, inviting you another day won't be too late either."
"Alright." Kaoru Yanagi no longer troubled her, his lips curling up slightly.
Su Ye got out of the car, and after Yan Bo Yi rolled down the window on her side, her smile was as casual as her next words, "Still, thanks for sending me back."
Nian Baiyan's hands rested on the steering wheel, and the car lights wove a dark, dynamic glow with the night color, sweeping across his cheek. The outline of his eyebrows and eyes seemed serious at first glance, but also revealed a hint of laziness. He opened his mouth and said, "The words 'thank you' don't carry much weight for me."
His unspoken implication was clear to her, and she shrugged her shoulders. "But just because you're a hero saving the beauty doesn't mean I'll surrender to you. You also underestimate my persistence too much. As I said, I'm not very enthusiastic about the precious stone, Mr. Year, so please ask someone else."
"You've misunderstood me." Yan Bo Yan smiled and unexpectedly said, "I just think that after you conveniently deducted the fine for the car from my wallet in the name of original music, a simple 'thank you' seems somewhat insincere."
Su Ye's smile began to show some embarrassment, and after humming for half a day, she turned around and said, "Isn't it just a hair from a fine horse to you?"
"Get some rest early tonight." Yan Bojian's thin lips curled into a smile as he started the car, and then unexpectedly added, "Also, next time if you see me again at the entrance of the restaurant, feel free to get off the car with me, we can have supper together, it was quite nice."
As soon as he finished speaking, the car drove away.
Su Ye stood there in a daze for a long time before reacting, "Nian Boyan you——" She looked down again and shouted at the car tail, "Hey, your tie!"
