บท 43: Saying Goodbye

Ye Jiayao saw his worried look and the beads of sweat on his forehead and laughed. "Why are you so worried? You've got to be the only person I know who's worried that his creditor won't find him. I am embarrassingly poor, if I don't charge you for your debt, how else will I survive? It's Helian mansion, right? I promise that I'll go look for you."

Helian Jing relaxed a little after hearing her vow. He put his hand out and made her pledge by slapping each other's palm.

Ye Jiayao readily slapped his hand to ease his worries.

"Now, go and get ready. Don't let others wait for you for too long." Ye Jiayao punched his shoulder affectionately.

Helian Jing gave into the sudden impulse to hug her.

Ye Jiayao was immobile with surprise.

"Big Raorao, you must come," he whispered next to her ear as he hugged her. He gave her one last squeeze before turning around to leave. He was afraid that he would cry if he spent a moment longer with her.
