Chapter 318: Next Time
"Oh, I only have ten dollars left this week. How am I going to survive?"
In the classroom, Xia Yu held the ten yuan in his hand and looked at it in front of his eyes, while thinking about how to use the ten yuan to survive a week.
If you use all the money to buy steamed buns and pickles, you can probably get by with tap water, but it would be really tasteless.
Although he was too poor to be picky, it was good enough to have something to eat.
"Ten bucks... ten bucks... ten... Damn it, get out of here!"
Xia Yu, who was lost in thought, suddenly came to his senses, kicked away a boy who was sneaking up on him, and then stuffed the only ten dollars he had left into his arms.
"Hey, Xia Yu, where did you get this huge sum of ten dollars? Do you have another business opportunity to make money? Tell me, good brothers should make money together!"
The boy who was kicked away came forward with a grin, his eyes full of the reflection of the ten yuan.
The boy was wearing a white T-shirt with "Poverty Alleviation" written on the chest and "Get Rich" written on the back, but he looked poor and it was obvious that he was a poor man.
"Bai Yuechu, you bastard still owe me five huge dollars, pay it back to me now!"
Xia Yu pinched the boy's face and shook it violently, but the boy ignored him and still secretly reached out to touch Xia Yu's arms.
"I'm...going to transfer to another school soon, good brother, how about...five bucks as a farewell dinner?"
"Get away from me!"
After kicking Bai Yuechu away, Xia Yu hurriedly held the money in his arms tightly in his hands. Only in this way could he feel a little at ease.
There was no other way. With Bai Yuechu, a shameless and poor friend like him, he really couldn't feel at ease keeping the money in his pocket.
As for why he could become friends with Bai Yuechu, it was because the two of them had the same attribute, that is, they were poor, the kind of poor that would make anyone who heard about it sad and cry.
"Xia Yu, I'm about to transfer to another school, can't you treat your good brother to a meal?"
Bai Yuechu, who was kicked away, dusted himself off and then came up again with a smile on his face.
Looking at Bai Yuechu like this, and thinking back to what he had just said, Xia Yu felt mixed emotions and sighed deeply.
"Well... okay, I'll treat you to a meal after school this afternoon, as a farewell dinner."
"Huh?"
After hearing this, Bai Yuechu was stunned for a moment. As far as he knew, Xia Yu was as stingy as him. How could he agree to him so readily?
Not to mention a farewell dinner, even if he was getting married, the other party would probably just go there for a meal and definitely not give any money for a gift.
"Xia Yu, you..."
Bai Yuechu walked forward in surprise, but Xia Yu just waved his hand and said nothing more.
Only he himself knew the meaning of this farewell dinner, because after Bai Yuechu transferred from this boys' school, they were completely from two different worlds.
She is the reincarnation of Dongfang Yuechu, the protagonist of the world, and he is just a small time traveler, without any plug-ins. It is impossible for the two to have any intersection in the future.
Unless a cheat arrives, but he is able to survive now thanks to his hard work and no longer expects to have a cheat.
Ignoring Bai Yuechu who was still chattering in his ear, Xia Yu lay down on the table with his head buried in his arms.
Although once you accept your own weakness, you will be invincible.
But he is a time traveler after all, how could it be so easy for him to accept it, not to mention his inexplicably superior self-esteem.
"After all, I am a time traveler..."
After muttering something casually, Xia Yu fell into sleep. He was busy until midnight last night trying to make money. Fortunately, he was able to catch up on some sleep in class during the day.
Time is like a middle-aged man's hair, always disappearing quietly without you noticing.
As the school bell rang, Xia Yu's biological clock made him open his eyes on time, and then Bai Yuechu's smiling face appeared before him.
Xia Yu: “…”
Bai Yuechu: ...
"Alas...what sin did I commit in my previous life that I have to have a friend like you in this life?"
Xia Yu stretched out his hand and pushed Bai Yuechu's face away, then stood up and stretched his stiff body.
"Hehe, you promised to treat me to a farewell dinner, do you want to go back on your word?" Bai Yuechu stepped forward and hooked his arms around Xia Yu's neck, smiling shamelessly.
"Don't slander me. When have I, Xia Yu, ever lied to anyone?"
"Well...that's a lot." Bai Yuechu stretched out his fingers and counted them one by one, "Last time you cheated me out of a meat bun, and the time before that you used my name to trick the little idiot into giving you a bunch of snacks, and the time before that you..."
"Stop." Xia Yu grabbed Bai Yuechu's hand that was counting, then looked at him seriously and said, "We are friends, right? How can we be so fussy about friends? Do you still want to eat barbecue?"
“Barbecue?!!”
Bai Yuechu covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes full of disbelief. "It's the legendary barbecue. Xia Yu, have you been replaced? How could you treat me to barbecue!"
Xia Yu: “…”
Look at the poor child. Even though he hasn’t eaten barbecue for a long time, he can’t open his mouth, otherwise his saliva will flow out.
A moment later, the two came to a cheap self-service barbecue restaurant.
As the ultimate pauper, Xia Yu has memorized all the restaurants within his budget, and then determined which restaurants have better food by working part-time jobs and eating out at the same time.
This self-service barbecue restaurant is the most affordable of all the restaurants, and it is clean and hygienic.
“Ohhh, it’s really barbecue!”
At the dining table, Bai Yuechu held a piece of grilled meat and looked at it with shining eyes, but he couldn't bear to put it in his mouth.
"If you don't eat anymore, I'll finish it." Xia Yu muttered with a mouth full of meat. Although it was a farewell dinner for Bai Yuechu, it was a buffet, so he must eat to get his money's worth.
"Mmm, it's really barbecue! Delicious!"
Bai Yuechu was not vague either and stuffed his mouth full.
"Hey, Xia Yu, where do you get the money to eat barbecue? You are obviously as poor as me." Bai Yuechu picked up the chopsticks with both hands and asked while stuffing meat into his mouth.
"I saved it. Haha, I'm not like you who can't even save money." Xia Yu put the meat into his mouth at a fast speed and replied incoherently.
"What a shame! I'm about to transfer to another school, but Wei Sheng doesn't come... Wait, that's my meat!!"
"Don't mention that kid. A bastard who hooked up with a rich woman has at least saved himself 50 years of detours... Get out of my way. This is mine!!"
"Alas, we clearly agreed to be poor together, haha, but he suddenly became a rich man, really... Pfft, damn, you actually put so much chili sauce on the meat!"
"Fuck, you stole my roasted meat again, you bastard!"
An hour later, after the boss's repeated "enthusiastic persuasion", Xia Yu and Bai Yuechu said they had almost finished eating and left a promise of "definitely next time", which moved the boss so much that he burst into tears.
"Tsk, it's just that I ate a little more meat, so why are you kicking us out?" Bai Yuechu said disdainfully while picking his teeth.
"Yeah, just a few hundred million."
Xia Yu thought that he definitely couldn't go to that store again for the near future, at least until the boss forgot what they looked like. Fortunately, he no longer had the money to go there.
"Okay, you'll be transferring to another school tomorrow. Bye."
At the fork in the road, Xia Yu waved at Bai Yuechu. Seeing this, Bai Yuechu also waved.
"Xia Yu, if you also have a partner like Wei Sheng who you want to continue your relationship with in your next life, remember to come to Tushan to find me. I will get a commission for every order I complete. Don't forget your good brother."
Reincarnation to continue the relationship?
Xia Yu laughed and shook his head. He didn't answer, just waved his hand and turned away.
How could a time traveler like him reincarnate and continue his fate? He was not even in this world in his previous life.
