In a daze, Song Jinshu felt someone kissing and caressing her very gently.

But she was too tired and sleepy to open her eyes.

"Girl!" A whisper accompanied by a nervous gasp sounded in my ears, "Girl!"

Slowly opening her eyes, Song Jinshu saw Jiang Jinfeng's handsome face pressed against her, "Brother!"

Seeing that she finally woke up, Jiang Jinfeng's movements became more violent, making Song Jinshu blush.

When Song Jinshu woke up again, it was already ten o'clock.

She saw the note Jiang Jinfeng left: Girl, I start working today, you should have a good rest these two days!

After making himself some breakfast and eating, Song Jinshu rested his chin on his hand and thought about what he should do in the next two days.

Remembering that she hadn't contacted Mo Lan or Lu Shuang, Song Jinshu sent them a WeChat message.

Moran did not respond.

Lu Shuang replied: Jinshu, Happy New Year!

Song Jinshu: Are you free to have dinner together today?

Lu Shuang: Noon is fine.

Song Jinshu: OK, let's have lunch together! I'll find a restaurant near your home.

Lu Shuang: It’s all right, near or far!

Song Jinshu: Then I’ll choose a good place, make a reservation and send you the table number.

When Song Jinshu was about to go out, Mo Lan replied to WeChat and asked: Is there anything wrong?

Song Jinshu didn't care about her unfamiliarity and said he would treat her to a meal and even sent her the address.

When Song Jinshu arrived, she found that Lu Shuang had already arrived and was leaning on her motorcycle without taking off his helmet.

"Sorry, Dashuang, there's a traffic jam." Song Jinshu walked over with a smile.

Taking off his helmet, Lu Shuang pointed at the hotel and asked, "Such a high-end place?"

"Of course I have to treat you to good food! The grilled pork chops, grilled pig's trotters, and grilled large intestines here are especially delicious!" Song Jinshu took her arm, "Don't you love meat? So I wanted to bring you here to try it."

Lu Shuang smiled, "Okay!"

"By the way, I also called Mulan, she may be late." Song Jinshu looked at her phone again. Mulan did not give her a definite reply. She did not say she could not come, nor did she say she would come.

The two of them entered the restaurant, found a seat by the window in the lobby, and ordered a portion of grilled pork chops, grilled pig's trotters, and grilled large intestines. In order to relieve the greasiness, they also ordered a fruit plate and yogurt.

Before the meat was served, the two chatted about what happened recently and the New Year.

"Where did you spend the New Year?" Song Jinshu handed the yogurt to Lu Shuang.

Lu Shuang smiled, "At home! Ever since my dad passed away, grandpa and grandma don't want to see us! My aunt doesn't welcome us either!"

"Actually, it can be quite noisy when there are too many people," Song Jinshu consoled.

Lu Shuang smiled knowingly, "How was your New Year?"

"Very good! The Jiang family is a big family that follows rules during the New Year, and they even kowtow! But there are too many people, more people eat and fewer people work." Song Jinshu smiled and expressed his feelings.

Lu Shuang laughed at her, "You are used to living in poverty! Many middle-class families now hire nannies!"

"But cooking and cleaning aren't that hard! And it's such a pleasure to cook for someone you love!"

Lu Shuang raised his eyebrows, "After a few years, if you still think this way, then it's true love!"

"I hope to grow old with my brother and live in harmony with him." Song Jinshu smiled shyly.

Lu Shuang sincerely wished, "You are so kind, you will definitely live a sweet life together."

"What about you? Are you in love?" Song Jinshu felt that it was not good to always talk about herself, so she asked Lu Shuang.

Lu Shuang shook his head. "With my situation and family, how can I talk about love? Even if someone likes me a little, they will back off once they hear about my family situation."

"It's just a matter of money!" Song Jinshu analyzed, "Just find someone with better financial conditions."

Lu Shuang laughed, "Do you think rich people are stupid? The richer they are, the more they like to arrange marriages! They all hope to help each other and gain greater benefits and a higher status."

"You understand it so thoroughly!" Song Jinshu was surprised.

Lu Shuang smiled self-deprecatingly, "My dad is from a wealthy family!"

"So after your father passed away, your grandparents didn't give you any money?" Song Jinshu was puzzled.

Lu Shuang sighed softly, "My grandparents didn't agree with my dad being with my mom at first. They thought my grandparents were poor. After my dad passed away, my grandma wanted to give us some money, but her words were too harsh, so my mom took us away in anger and didn't take the money."

"Auntie is quite immature." Song Jinshu said bluntly: "Why don't you want it? Even if I don't want it, I should have it for you two sisters!"

Lu Shuang agreed with her. "After my mother got sick, I was wronged outside once. I went home crying and asked my mother why she didn't want money. It wouldn't be so difficult to ask for money!"

After a pause, Lu Shuang continued, "My mother scolded me, saying that I was spineless! She said that she would rather starve to death than take their money!"

"That should be your money, the money that should be in your father's name." Song Jinshu said with emotion.

Lu Shuang nodded. "You see, you can see through it, and so can I, but my mother can't. She feels that if she accepts the money, she will lose face and compromise with grandpa and grandma. She can't submit to my grandpa and grandma, because they didn't accept her into the family in the first place, so her husband died early."

The waiter brought out the grilled dishes, and also brought up the fruit plate and yogurt.

Lu Shuang looked at the hotel entrance and said, "Your friends haven't arrived yet!"

Picking up the phone, Song Jinshu sent a voice message to Mo Lan, "Lan Lan, where are you?"

"Oh, right!" Song Jinshu suddenly remembered something. "If she talks to you about saving money or investing, don't listen to her."

Lu Shuang laughed, "How can I have extra money? The monthly rent, my mother's hospital bills, Lu Nian's tuition and living expenses have almost spent all the money I earn."

"Dashuang, if you need anything urgently, you can tell me!" Song Jinshu said sincerely, "I have saved some money."

Lu Shuang thanked him, "Thank you, Jinshu! I won't lend money unless it's absolutely necessary. After all, it's easy to borrow money but hard to repay it. Although I'm poor, I hope to be poor with ambition."

"I understand you! For a long time, I was in the same situation as you, and I had the same thoughts as you. Sometimes, I felt that I was so poor that I only had self-esteem left!" Song Jinshu smiled bitterly, "It is precisely because I understand that feeling that I hope that when you really have difficulties, you will find me. At least it is better to find me than to find others."

Lu Shuang's eyes turned red. "Okay! Jinshu, I've taught many people how to drive, but you're the only one who truly treats me as a friend."

"We are destined to meet!" Song Jinshu smiled. "Let's not wait for her. Let's eat first. It won't taste good if it gets cold!" Song Jinshu was no longer willing to accommodate Moran like before, because Moran had changed.
