“Ah! Don't.” Li Meng waited too long for Qin Ming to return. She was afraid that Qin Ming would leave her stranded after sleeping with her. I slept with Qin Ming to please him and even smashed the iPhone that Yang Wei gifted to me in order to gain his trust. The thought caused uneasiness to spread in Li Meng's heart. So the girl went to search for Qin Ming. But she was met with the sight of Qin Ming tossing his money into a donation box. Li Meng was dumbfounded. All the cash that was waiting to be converted into the luxurious item she coveted for so long had disappeared into a donation box. Her fantasies were being crushed into voided space at that sight. Her rage, desperation, madness erupted through her throat into a sharp, piercing noise. “My money.” Li Meng parted the crowd furiously and rushed towards the girl kneeling on the floor. She was snatching the donation box from the girl forcefully like an insane person. “That money is mine. It's mine! You freaking scammer that cheated all my boyfriend's money. I'm going to kill you now.” “Slap! Slap! Slap!” Li Meng could not contain her anger. She grabbed the girl's hair and slapped her face continuously. Bai Yuchun simply held on to the donation box without showing any resistance. The poor girl choked out a response. “No, I did not cheat anyone. I'm really not a scammer. My mother's life depends on this money.” Qin Ming fell into a daze. Why is Li Meng acting like a crazy person? That 88 thousand is nothing to me. I can give out as many 88 thousand as I want. He swiftly pulled Li Meng away from the girl and said, “Mengmeng, don't behave in this manner. She's a pitiful girl.” “Slap!” Li Meng turned around to face Qin Ming with her messy hair. She slapped him on the face without any hesitation. The woman caught up in her rage scolded through her gritted teeth. “Don't you know how to pity me if you think that she's so pitiable? Did you fry your brain or something? You're gifting this stranger with so much money while I receive nothing from you. Do you even remember that I am your girlfriend? No wonder you're destined to be a loser for your whole life. You've finally earned that little amount of money, yet you're giving it all away. You freaking crazy bastard.” Qin Ming explained. “Listen to me, Mengmeng. It's not what you think. This girl needed this money to save her mother's life. That's an act more honorable than anything in life. I promise that I will not mistreat you after this. I'll buy you everything that you want, but......”“Slap!” Li Meng did not wait for Qin Ming to finish his sentence. She landed another slap on that man's cheek. That girl had lost all her rationality. She pointed at Qin Ming's nose and rebuked him. “I've been listening to this similar speech for the last 2 years. You've promised me that you will fulfil my wishes, but have you ever bought me anything? I have yet to spend even one cent of the money that you've earned through the share market by luck. Now you've given all the money away and become a total loser again. Are you trying to deceive me with flatteries again? Qin Ming felt his heart sank. He said, “Mengmeng, didn't you say that you love me for who I am, and not for the money?” “Who'd want to reconcile with you if not for the money?” Li Meng insulted Qin Ming angrily. “Do you think that you deserved to be together with me without any money? Don't forget that you're just a good-for-nothing piece of shit! Argh! I'm so mad right now, and it's all because of you, stinking loser. You've finally earned something from your investment and you just gave everything away out of good will. I've sacrificed so much today by smashing my new iPhone and even slept with you. This is seriously the worst decision I've ever made in my entire life.” “Yang Wei's got a rich family to support him at the very least. His fortune could flow continuously from his parents' pockets. You're nothing like him! Do you think that you're comparable to him simply because you got lucky in one of your investments in the share market? I was being nice to you because I wanted to spend your money. What did I get in return? Nothing! Why? Because you're a fool that gave all your money away!” “I hope that you will stay single forever. What kind of person would give away their money before spending that cash to make his girlfriend happy anyway? Qin Ming felt the tended wound in his heart being ripped open mercilessly again. He foolishly thought that Li Meng's decision to smash that new iPhone gifted by Yang Wei, and her initiative to sleep with him were efforts to reconcile with him. Qin Ming stupidly assumed that Li Meng had chosen to follow through with their relationship out of pure love and affection. Ah, I've been caught in an unrequited love all along. Qin Ming could not help but laughed at himself. He shook his head and mumbled to himself in a self-depreciating manner. I'm so lucky that I did not tell her about my inheritance. Otherwise, I might be facing a similar fate as my godfather. Qin Ming clung to his final sliver of hope. He stretched out his arm and said, “Mengmeng, I'll earn back the money even though I'm poor again. Don't worry about that. Look, I've even brought you chocolates from Teuscher.” Li Meng swatted the box of chocolates onto the ground and ignored him. She turned towards the direction of Bai Yuchun as she spoke. “You bitch. That's my boyfriend's money. You better cough up every cent inside the box. That money belongs to me and only me.”But Bai Yuchun was a smart girl. She hugged the donation box in her arms and ran towards the train station as the couple argued a few moments ago. An unexpected storm brewed in the sky. Lightning flashed brightly and thunder roared deafeningly. Qin Ming stood on the spot motionlessly as the droplets of rain and gusts of wind hit his body. That man felt more pain on the inside than the damage he was receiving on the outside. The crowd that was gathered to watch the scene quickly thinned as they realized that the 'show' had ended. Qin Ming did not lose anything significant to him today, he even got to sleep with Li Meng again. But that man could not cheer up. His silly hopes that Li Meng had returned to him dissipated into thin air all of the sudden. He thought that their relationship was built on true love that could endure hardship, but reality had been cruel to him. Qin Ming lifted his chin and let the rain washed over him. He let out a long sigh. “It's true that first love would always leave behind the most unforgettable and painful memories. I had to thank you, Li Meng, for helping me to understand that there's simply not a price for true love. You've passed by a lifetime of fortune by missing out on me. I guess that's just your fate then.” Qin Ming wiped away the rainwater on his face. He was about to go back to the university when an umbrella suddenly appeared atop his head. Qin Ming was surprised to see the girl that was begging for donation. Bai Yuchun returned to the junction with an umbrella in her hand. The girl appeared to be polite and distant. She said, “I'm so glad that you're here. Uhm, I'm terribly sorry that you broke up with your girlfriend because of me. I've pondered on this matter and I could not receive this money from you even though I'm caught in a desperate situation. I would not be able to make peace with myself if this donation that you made cost you a lifetime of happiness with your girlfriend. So I'm returning you this money.” Bai Yuchun took out a black plastic bag as she spoke. The money that Qin Ming donated had been transferred into that bag. Qin Ming was taken aback. He could not help but asked. “I thought that your mother is desperately waiting for this donation to receive her treatment? You can just take it away because I do not need the money at all.” Bai Yuchun said, “That's alright. One of the moneylenders had contacted me earlier. They were willing to loan me the money that I need, and even allowed me to pay them back in phases. Nonetheless, I am grateful that you're willing to help me. You should make up with your girlfriend now.” Qin Ming received the bag of cash and could not help but sighed thoughtfully. Li Meng was willing to sacrifice her body in order to obtain this money, and all she wanted to do was to fulfil her luxurious needs. In comparison, this girl desperately needed this money to save her family, but she was willing to return me everything because she did not wish to break up a couple. Bai Yuchun ran towards the train station nearby with the umbrella in her hand after she spoke. Qin Ming gazed at the girl's figure from behind as she faded into the crowd. He felt that the girl's purity had cleansed his troubled heart. She's a good girl. It's always possible to find one that would not sell her body to anyone just for money. Qin Ming wiped the water off his face. He was about to call Song Ying to send him back to the university as no cab driver would offer to pick up someone as drenched as him when an idea flashed across his mind. Should I buy a car? Qin Ming's phone rang suddenly just as he took out the device. It was a call from his roommate, Zhao Liniu. Qin Ming had no idea why his roommate would call him near midnight. He took a deep breath to calm himself down before answering the call. “Hello, what's the matter, bro?” Zhao Liniu's voice was heard through the speaker. “Qin Ming, where are you? Come and join us for supper. Chen Muling is here too. She had forgiven you for stealing her cake the other day after Yongshao's girlfriend put forth relentless effort to explain in your stead. We're at The Bass Bar just outside of the university. Come quick.” Qin Ming was speechless. Why are they trying to introduce me to that Chen Muling? Qin Ming rejected Zhao Liniu's offer. “I'm not going. I'm all drenched with rainwater right now. Hello? Bro?” What, he hung up on me?
