"Song, you're killing me! I saw how cool you were at the police station and thought for sure you had a thick skin, but it turns out your skin is so thin!" Su Tingting laughed for a long time before standing up straight, panting as she spoke.
"You also said that I have never experienced such a scene, those people are too terrifying." Song Baiyu was telling the truth. In his previous life as a transcendent and extraordinary cultivator, no one would dare to tease him like this. And in this life, he is a standard rich second-generation, and has no contact with the lives of ordinary people at the bottom, so it's inevitable that he would make a fool of himself for a while.
"They are actually quite enthusiastic people, you'll get used to it." Su Tingting smiled.
Song Baiyu's face turned black as he heard this, and he didn't have the courage to face those old people again.
"Tingting, I remember you used to have a stall in Xicheng District, how did you end up here? When did this happen?" Song Boyu asked doubtfully, he remembered that Su Tingting lived in Xicheng District.
Su Tingting snorted coldly and said in a bad mood, "It's not like I wanted to come all the way here, being driven out by the City West Police Station. Do you think I'm willing to waste so much time on the road, coming back and forth every day?"
Song Baiyu was silent after hearing this, he knew what Su Tingting meant by this sentence, and also knew that her cold hum was not directed at him.
Three years ago, Su Tingting was a member of a theft gang. Because of her pure and beautiful appearance, as well as her quick hands and feet, she rarely got caught. Her area of activity was in the Western City District. After a period of tracking and investigation, the Western City Police Station knew about Su Tingting's existence. Every time someone lost something in the Western City area, the police station would look for Su Tingting, but because they couldn't find any evidence, they had to let her go. The police station was really frustrated with this underage habitual thief, and they didn't know what to do with her.
However, things took a turn for the better later on. After an old police officer named Liu Zhi Xi from the Western City Police Station retired, he followed Su Ting Ting closely for three whole months, making it impossible for her to make a move. In order to protect Su Ting Ting, Liu Zhi Xi was even beaten by the thieves until he spat blood. During those three months, the old police officer lectured Su Ting Ting on many things and showed her enough familial care, which made Liu Zhi Xi feel relieved that the entire Western City Police Station's helpless Su Ting Ting actually reformed under his help and slowly started living a normal life.
However, not many people believed the old policeman's words. The theft case in the western district still occurred, and everyone would still take Su Tingting to the police station for questioning, and then release her due to insufficient evidence. Of course, there are exceptions to everything. Song Boyu was easy-going and got along well with the old policeman, so he often communicated with him and believed the old policeman's words, also trusting Su Tingting.
"That bunch of guys is really overboard, I'll deal with them later." Song Bo Yu said after a moment's hesitation.
In the past, Su Tingting was a minor and seemed to enjoy playing cat and mouse with the police at the Chengxi Police Station, so "Song Boyu" was happy to watch from the sidelines. Now that Su Tingting is 19 years old, her tone clearly shows some disgust at continuing to play this game with the Chengxi Police Station. After all, no normal person wants to go to the police station for no reason, as it would affect their reputation if others found out.
"You think you're Guo Heizi or something, with an attitude that big? Those despicable guys would listen to you? Don't make me laugh." Su Tingting gave Song Boyu a white eye, but didn't put his words in her heart. She knew that Song Boyu was "low-ranking" at the police station and had no expectation of him being able to help herself. "By the way, Brother Song, from what you said, it seems like you don't know I'm in the old city district? Then what brings you here?"
Su Tingting originally thought that Song Boyu had come to pick her up, but after saying a couple of sentences to him, she realized she was overthinking it. She recalled her behavior at the watch repair stall earlier and two red clouds rose to her cheeks again.
At the age of eighteen or nineteen, it was the time when girls were in love. After changing evil for good, Song Baiyu was her only friend except for the old policeman. Plus, Song Baiyu's gentle personality taught her a lot of maintenance knowledge and sold her a large number of maintenance books, even providing a maintenance car, how could Su Tingting not have different feelings for Song Baiyu?
After listening to Su Tingting say this, Song Boyu suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit to the old city district and couldn't help but ask out loud: "Tingting, are you familiar with the old city district?"
Seeing Su Tingting nod, Song Baiyu asked with delight: "Is there a place to buy medicinal herbs in the old city? I've searched all over the main city and couldn't find any place selling medicinal materials, so I came here to try my luck."
"Song, you're usually so clever, why are you being obtuse now? The herbs aren't even worth much money. Who would sell herbs for no reason?" Su Tingting gave Song Baiyu a strange stare and said in a crisp voice, "Sometimes people do sell herbs at the farmer's market, but those are just things like dried lycium fruit or wild chrysanthemum that can be made into tea. I know you're not looking for that kind of herb, Brother Song. You must be looking for potted plants, right?"
Song Baiyu nodded upon hearing this, as the two were relatively familiar with each other. Su Tingting knew that Song Baiyu enjoyed playing with flowers and plants.
"Actually, you can't buy the herbs you want? Don't worry, I have a great way to get them for you. No matter how many herbs you want, I can get them for you, and they'll be fresh and lively, guaranteed to satisfy you." Seeing Song Baiyu's depressed and listless appearance, Su Tingting revealed a sly smile in her eyes and spoke mysteriously.
"Stinky girl, do you still have the herbs and are they still alive? You think it's your favorite fish or something." Song Baiyu's spirits lifted upon hearing this, he scolded Su Tingting in a bad mood. Su Tingting hadn't received any education, but she was very clever, which was also why Song Baiyu had been willing to patiently teach her repair knowledge back then. "Stop teasing me and speak quickly, I'm getting anxious from searching for the herbs everywhere."
"It was who taught me at first, to do things with more brainwork. It turns out that someone is just a master of paper talk." Su Tingting looked at Song Boyu's anxious appearance, and she happily walked backwards on the side, her smile even thicker.
Song Baiyu gazed at Su Tingting for half a moment, finding the little girl looking at him with a complacent expression, as if she had already got the upper hand. He couldn't help but sigh, how did he get stuck by a little girl? "Tell me, what conditions do you need to tell me the solution?"
"Haha, Song big brother, it's really funny to see you so anxious." Su Tingting seemed to have had enough fun and burst out laughing: "Song big brother, tell me what herbs I need."
"I don't have any special requirements for herbs, as long as they're lively and thriving, of course the rarer the better." Song Baiyu replied subconsciously.
"Alright, leave this to me. I'll get it done for you before nightfall tomorrow, guaranteed!" Su Tingting said with a tilted head after thinking for a moment.
"Ting Ting, this isn't good, it will delay your business." Song Baiyu was taken aback by her words. He hadn't expected Su Tingting not only didn't continue to make things difficult for him but also wanted to help him buy herbs. After coming back to his senses, Song Baiyu refused.
"This period of time, the police in the county town also don't know if they've taken the wrong medicine, arresting people everywhere. For us, who have no fixed storefront and are just a mobile stall, we dare not come out during the day, or else our goods will definitely be confiscated." As soon as she mentions business, Su Tingting gets angry again, her eyes gleaming brightly, her cheeks flushing red, her white teeth biting into her plump lower lip, exuding a seductive aura.
"Brother Song, I wasn't talking to you." Seeing Song Baiyu staring blankly at her, Su Tingting finally reacted and explained hastily, her face flushing even redder. "Brother Song, anyway, I'm busy during the day, so just leave this small matter to me."
After finishing the sentence, Su Tingting looked at Song Boyu with a thirsty and expectant expression. For more than a year, Big Brother Song had helped her so much, but she had never had the opportunity to repay him. Now that Big Brother Song needed help, she must seize the opportunity, Su Tingting thought to herself, and her eyes also became determined.
Deep down, Su Tingting wanted to prove her worth in front of Song Boyu and make him notice her existence, rather than being insignificant as she was now.
Song Baiyu gazed at Su Tingting for half a moment, seeing the longing and determination in her eyes. He smiled and nodded, pulling out 20,000 yuan from his pocket and handing it to Su Tingting. "Tingting, then I'll thank you first," he said with a smile. "You take this 20,000 yuan, and as long as you can get the herbs, get as much as you can. Just spend the 20,000 yuan."
Su Tingting looked at the money handed over by Song Boyu, originally not wanting to take it, hesitated for a moment before taking it, and then playfully asked: "Really want to spend all 200,000 yuan? What if I can't spend it?"
"Don't come see me if you can't finish the flowers." Looking at Su Tingting's mischievous appearance, Song Boyu said with a straight face and serious tone, but he soon burst out laughing under Su Tingting's playful gaze.
"Hmph, am I that stupid? I won't embezzle the money, besides, I've been eyeing a beautiful dress lately and was worried about not having enough money to buy it."
“……”
The two of them walked and chatted like this until Song Baiyu quickly sent Su Tingting home.
Su Tingting originally invited Song Boyu to sit at home, but was politely declined by Song Boyu. Today, I came out and chatted with Su Tingting, didn't buy anything, but my own home is empty, so I have to get something back to make up for it.
Song Baiyu calculated the days, tomorrow is Monday, which means that even if he goes to the provincial city to buy things over the weekend, it will still be five days later. He still needs to use ordinary medicine to refine his muscles and bones for five more days. Thinking of this, Song Baiyu went to the Chinese medicine shop again to buy five days' worth of medicine, then bought some fast food and daily necessities before walking home at a leisurely pace.
