Xiao Yuan turned his face and looked at Mingshu with a different look than before.

This seems to be the first time Mingshu has mentioned money to him since he was no longer a child. Both the Ming family and the Wen family are short of money, but Mingshu doesn't want it. From the moment Mingshu left the compound, he was separated from that suffocating family.

However, adulthood and admission to university do not necessarily mean complete independence in today's society. Xiao Yuan recalled that after the college entrance examination, he did not immediately give up the help from his family, never worried about money, and never got up early to work in the dark for tuition and living expenses.

At the age of 19, I can afford my own life. Many children from difficult families came out of junior high school to work and earn money.

But when I look at the grown up child, I will inevitably feel more distressed when I think about it. I don't want him to suffer too much, I hope he will be smooth and smooth.

Can Mingshu be the baby of the Ming family, or the baby of the Xiao family? Although there are many children in the Xiao family who have strict tutoring, which one was not raised with pampering

It doesn't make sense. Seeing that he is about to go to freshman year, Mingshu is still worried about tuition fees and the job of the milk tea shop is gone. Where should I hurry to find another one.

Mingshu has never been poor before, so don't be poor now in the future.

It's not that you can't worry about money, it's unnecessary.

Mingshu was a proud and burdened brother Ming when he was a child. In the future, he will carry the burden well, and he will not feel wronged. Those who are embarrassed, shabby, and cramped because of lack of money do not belong to Mingshu.

Mingshu just wants to shine, he has cultivated Mingshu's pride, can he let Mingshu lose

Mingshu became nervous when he saw it, and he couldn't help but look away, "Brother, you, what are you looking at?"

Xiao Yuan started the car and slowly squeezed into the traffic at night, "How much did you save?"

"Ah?" Mingshu didn't expect Xiao Yuan to suddenly ask this question, he lowered his head after thinking for a while, "Just a few thousand."

In fact, he worked two jobs, and after one summer vacation, it was no problem to save all tuition and living expenses.

But he has never lived a careful life. He has earned a lot and spent a lot. He treats Xiao Yu'an's house as his own, and buys things from time to time. Courtesy.

If Sister Jinlan hadn't sent some Xiaqiu's new clothes, he would have to spend money on clothes.

Brother Ming from No. 1 Middle School is not just kidding, he is handsome and well-dressed. In the future, he will definitely not be able to spend money on clothes all the time, but if he wants to immediately replace the famous brand on him with street stall goods, he is also panicked.

If you spend so much, you won't be able to squeeze the money. He has studied his major courses by himself, and he was very busy in his freshman year. Although he was not so busy that he couldn't work part-time, doing unrelated part-time jobs would definitely affect his studies.

When it comes to money, he feels awkward. He has never been short of money, but suddenly he is poor. That feeling is a bit embarrassing. He buried his head a little lower, and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"The old man's money is not going to be moved?" Xiao Yu'an asked.

Mingshu was silent, "Don't move, I can earn it myself."

Xiao Yu'an said, "Are you still working part-time after school starts?"

Mingshu didn't answer right away. He is also hesitating about this matter. If he continues to work, he will not be able to consume time. Getting admitted to Public Security University is only the first step, but Xiao Yu'an is far better than ordinary public security university students. Back then, Xiao Yu'an was in the special training echelon, and he was already one grade short of it. If he doesn't try to catch up, the gap between him and Xiao Yu'an will grow further and further.

"I'm not saying that part-time work is not good. Using labor to support one's life is something that can stand up." Xiao Yu'an took Mingshu's self-esteem into consideration, and every word was carefully considered, "You left your parents and tried There is no shame in making money and saving money in a life that has not been lived before.”

Mingshu slightly tightened his fingers. His heart was beating faster, and his mind was clear and dazed. He seemed to have guessed what Xiao Yuan was going to say to him, but it seemed to be blank.

"But I don't want to just watch you tied up because of money." Xiao Yu'an's voice seemed to be mixed into the night, mellow and charming, "Convenience store work, you continue to do it, but for the second job, you don't have to look for it again. ."

Mingshu quickly looked at Xiao Yu'an after hearing the words, "But..."

Xiao Yu'an looked straight ahead, but did not glance to the right from the corner of his eye, "You know how to be self-reliant, but self-reliance doesn't mean you don't rely on the people around you at all."

Mingshu drew his fingers closer and closer, his throat rolled tightly, "Brother..."

"You don't have to worry about tuition and living expenses." Xiao Yu'an said, "How did you live in the past, and how will you live in the future."

Mingshu's chest thumped, and after a while, sweat came out on his forehead.

"Brother. It's not good for you to say that." His mind was confused, and the words that came out of his mouth were not restrained. Mingshu whispered, and he didn't understand what he said.

There is a western restaurant near the house. When he got close, Xiao Yuan stopped the car directly.

He is too lazy to cook today, so he might as well take Mingshu out to solve it.

"Get out of the car." Xiao Yu'an unfastened his seat belt, "talk while eating."

Mingshu was still immersed in his emotions, looked up and looked outside. The western restaurant is a very stylish glass house, with neon flashing at night, beautiful and romantic.

"Eating out?"

"Well, there is crab meat stew that you like."

It was a bit late, there were few customers, the window was quiet, and an elegant woman in a long dress was playing the violin on the bar counter.

Xiao Yuan ordered crabs and steaks, and both had a seafood chowder, both of which were relatively expensive here.

Mingshu cared about what was said in the car, and as soon as the waiter left, he immediately asked, "Brother, what did you mean by that?"

"I still want to ask you." Xiao Yu'an said, "I said that, what's wrong?"

Mingshu was embarrassed, "Did you hear that?"

He was thankful that the lights were warm, so that the blush on his hot cheeks didn't show.

"Well. I heard it." Xiao Yuan's tone was calm, "If you have any ideas, just say it."

Mingshu was embarrassed for a while, before the steaks were served before he said, "You told me to stop working and worry about money. Will you take care of my tuition and living expenses?"

Xiao Yuan nodded, "I'll give you a card, and you can measure the cost yourself. You are an adult now. I believe you have a sense of how to spend your money and where it is used."

"But..." Mingshu frowned, holding a knife and fork in both hands, but didn't cut a steak.

He was a little anxious, afraid that he could not express himself clearly.

But how can it be expressed clearly? He didn't even understand it.

Xiao Yu'an patiently said, "But what?"

"But why do you?" Mingshu suddenly became angry with himself after he blurted out. He clearly didn't mean that. How could he question Xiao Yuan, but the words were particularly ugly.

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows halfway, "Why?"

Mingshu simply put down the knife and fork. He was so wrong today, he hasn't been right in a while.

Seeing that Mingshu was in a hurry, Xiao Yuan said warmly, "Don't worry, speak slowly."

"I... I'll be 19 soon, and I'll be an adult for a year. I don't want to spend Minghao Feng Wen Yue's money, nor do I want to spend my grandpa's money. I have to prove to them that I can afford my life!" Ming Shu was emotional, and his eyes were slightly red.

Boys of this age seem to have grown up, but in fact they haven't. I care about making money, but making money with people in their thirties and forties is not the goal.

They are just desperate to prove that they are reliable men.

"I don't have much money to work part-time, but that's what I earn hour by hour. I use my heart to be at ease." Mingshu is like a young beast who has just come out of his mother's lair, his eyes shining with pure light , "I don't rely on them, and I can't rely on you."

Xiao Yu'an said, "Why can't you rely on me?"

"Because..." Mingshu got stuck.

He couldn't answer this question because he had already said the reason. Didn't Xiao Yu'an understand? But if he was asked to explain it again, he couldn't find a more suitable sentence.

"Because you're an adult? You'll be 19 soon?" Xiao Yuan said: "Maturity is a watershed, but it only means that you can face the wind and rain of the outside world, it doesn't mean that there is no more harbor behind you."

Ming Shu's pupils flickered, and he swallowed softly.

"Don't say 19 years old, Xiao Jincheng is in his 20s and still looking for Xiao Muting for a watch." Xiao Yuan smiled, "Does this affect his independence and growth?"

Mingshu was speechless.

"You don't rely on the Ming family and don't spend a penny, that's because you've made up your mind to draw a line with them." Xiao Yuan said again, "But have you also drawn a line with us?"

Mingshu immediately shook his head.

How could he draw a clear line with the Xiao family? Xiao Yuan said just now about the harbor, isn't the Xiao family his harbor

Xiao Yu'an said: "Then I will let you not worry about tuition and living expenses, how to live or how to live, is there any problem?"

Mingshu's eyelids were so hot that he had to cover them with his palms, but they weren't cold. After covering them for a long time, the temperature didn't drop, and he covered his eyes even more red.

The dishes were already served, Xiao Yu'an didn't say much, and signaled Mingshu to eat quickly.

The table is all what he likes, and Mingshu almost devoured it.

He wasn't that hungry, but there was a savage energy in him, which Xiao Yuan had just poured into it.

Why is Xiao Yu'an such a jerk

He was always talking about stabbing his heart, he couldn't bear being hurt so much, he would rather go to work before dawn!

Later, Xiao Yu'an added another dessert. Seeing that Ming Shu had hiccups, he smiled and went to pay the bill.

On the way home, I passed the breakfast shop, and that place sold Mala Tang at night.

Mingshu looked at it for a while and said, "Brother, I'll get up earlier tomorrow, buy buns and go back. You should still be hot when you get up."

Xiao Yuan shook his head, "No, I'll come out..."

Mingshu interrupted arrogantly, "I want it!"

Xiao Yuan was slightly surprised.

Under the street light, Ming Shu seemed to be covered in hair, and he was inexplicably excited.

"I also want to do something for you, I can't just spend your money like that." Mingshu said.

Xiao Yuan did not argue.

Mingshu bit the corner of his lower lip, his voice tightened, "You don't accept me, you keep me, I, I..."

The voice behind him fell, Xiao Yuan stopped and turned around.

His uneasy tail dragged in his shadow, looking at him hot but aggrieved, "I feel like I'm being taken care of by you."
