Wild Man & His Crazy World
Bai Yuchun ran ahead as Qin Ming chased after her. The university district was a combination of several universities. There was a small garden and a man-made lake right in the middle. Bai Yuchun ran to the edge of the lake. She hadn't had lunch, so she had no more energy to run. Biting her lip, she leaned against the guardrail. In a state of panic, Bai Yuchun threatened, “Don't come over. If you do, I'll jump.” Qin Ming panted as he watched the girl suspend half her body in the air. He was puzzled. Do I look like a ferocious beast? Looking at her trying to kill herself, Qin Ming was agitated. Can a 1.5-meter lake really drown someone?Are you kidding me? He yelled, “Then go ahead and jump! You're a dog if you don't.” Bai Yuchun bit her lip as she looked at the surface of the lake that rippled slightly from the breeze. She then looked at Qin Ming. Thinking about how her brother took the money and how she still had to pay the loan shark's debts while her mother was waiting for her at the hospital, she couldn't help but be filled with sorrow. “If that's the only way you'd let me go, then I'll jump.” With tears filling her eyes, Bai Yuchun turned and jumped into the lake for real. Horrified, Qin Ming ran over and reached out for Bai Yuchun's wrist. In an instant, he grabbed hold of her and dragged her back up. Holding on to her small waist, only the guardrail separated them. Bai Yuchun let out a soft squeak as her pale face turned scarlet. This was her first time being held by a man so tightly. She hurriedly tried to push Qin Ming away, saying, “L-Let me go! I don't have any money. I really don't. I beg you, please let me go.” The more Bai Yuchun struggled; the harder Qin Ming embraced her. When he used to hug Li Meng, she never felt this thin nor soft. Bai Yuchun was so frail that it was as though she didn't even have bones. He replied, “If I let go, you'll really fall into the lake. Come back up. I promise I won't hurt you.” Bai Yuchun dubiously climbed over the guardrail and sat on the ground powerless. Qin Ming smiled as he bent over to look at the beautiful Cinderella-esque lady, “You sure have it awful.” Bai Yuchun hugged her own legs and buried her face between her knees, “I know you must be after me for that 88,000. I'm sorry. Maybe you won't believe what I tell you. My brother was supposed to hand that money over to the hospital for my mom's heart surgery. But he ended up swapping it for fake notes and ran off, so I have no money to repay you. If you're willing to give me more time, I'll find a way to pay you back.” Qin Ming felt moved. So this klutz ran off of so quickly because she thought I was chasing her over the money. She's so dumb that it's rather cute. But he was now the world's richest man. 88,000 meant nothing to him. Yet, Bai Yuchun didn't evade her duties. In fact, she assumed the responsibility of repaying these debts instead of asking Qin Ming to look for her brother for the money. Qin Ming, “You fool. When I first gave you the money, I didn't expect you to pay me back.” Tears flowed down Bai Yuchun's eyes as she wept, “But without that money, you would lose your girlfriend, right? I really didn't mean to cause you two to split up. I don't want to be a bad person... I'm sorry.” Qin Ming froze as he felt inexplicably bitter inside. This was the first time someone cried for him because he had broken up, and this person was merely an outsider who knew nothing. Looking at Bai Yuchun crying, he wiped her tears and said, “We didn't break up because of that 88,000. You worry too much.” “Really? You're not saying that just to comfort me, are you?” Bai Yuchun asked pitifully. Qin Ming lightly knocked her on the head and said petulantly, “Really. You're a university student but you act like an elementary school kid. Can't you tell on your own? Would you break up with your boyfriend just because he didn't have 88,000? Those who break up because of money never had true love to begin with.” Bai Yuchun buried her face between her legs once again and said, “I don't know. I've never had a boyfriend.” Qin Ming stretched out his hand and said, “Let's properly introduce ourselves. I'm Qin Ming from Economics. And you are?” Bai Yuchun bashfully reached out and shook Qin Ming's hand, “E-commerce department, sophomore. My name is Bai Yuchun.” Qin Ming felt her hands were soft and weak, but her fingers were long and slender. Her skin felt coarse, which was probably due to all the tough jobs she did. He smiled faintly, “So you're my junior. You look so pitiful. Do you need any help?” Bai Yuchun shook her head, “There's no need. I'm grown up now, so I can look after myself. Thank you for the offer.”Qin Ming said in surprise, “Really? I know a prominent figure in the stock market who happens to be looking for a secretary. The pay is pretty good. If you get the job, you'd have a decent and stable monthly income. You can immediately have better days, then.” Bai Yuchun immediately frowned. Prominent figure in the stock market?Aren't they usually wretched 40 to 50-year-old men who go around tricking investors? The image of a balding, bespectacled middle-aged man with a lewd smile appeared in her mind. High income? She was just a university student that hadn't even graduated. How could she have high income? Secretary?Aren't they usually those bosses' mistresses? Mistresses would indeed be paid well. They probably didn't even have to work; they just had to spread their legs. Bai Yuchun hugged her legs and shook her head fervently, “Thank you, Qin Ming, but it's fine. I have arms and legs. I can earn money on my own.” Seeing how insistent she was, Qin Ming felt frustrated inside. But he didn't want to force her into anything. Qin Ming said, “Oh yeah, you ran so far that you don't have you lunch anymore. I'll treat you to a meal as compensation.” Bai Yuchun shook her head, “There's no need. I lost your money and wasted so much of your time already. I'm actually not hungry at all...” Grrrrr. Bai Yuchun's stomach growled relentlessly. She clutched her own stomach in embarrassment. In truth, she didn't even have breakfast because she wanted to save up to buy supplements for her mother. Qin Ming didn't feel mad at all when he saw how guarded Bai Yuchun was. Rather, he felt distressed for her. Seeing how she constantly turned him down while remaining polite, she must have long become used to all the malice of the world, so she could only carefully protect herself. Qin Ming took out his wallet, handed Bai Yuchun 100 and said, “This is for your lunch. Take it. Yuchun, I've been through the same struggles you're going through right now, so I understand the way you live. I hope that the next time we meet, you'll still be you.” Bai Yuchun held on to the 100 note as a breeze blew past her by the lake. Watching Qin Ming's back as he left, she felt inexplicably touched. Maybe this man really had no ill intentions when approaching me. Maybe he just meant well. After walking far enough, Qin Ming gave Song Ying a call, “Song Ying, about the surgery I asked you to arrange for that girl's mother - how did it go?” “The surgery went smoothly. Now all that remains is for her to get enough rest and nutrition,” Song Ying reported.Qin Ming thought for a moment and said, “OK. Find a reason to give her 10,000 for the supplements.” Song Ying asked in surprised, “Young master, do you like that girl? In that case, would you like me to assign someone to protect her?” “No,” Qin Ming chuckled. “I just wanted to give an ordinary girl a ray of hope. I'm the world's richest man, after all. I inherited so much from my godfather, so this is just a small gesture.” Hearing his reply, Song Ying smiled and said, “Don't worry, young master. I'll take care of this. There's something else you have to attend to. The country's domestic hunting team captains are hoping to meet you. Shall we arrange a meeting with them?” Qin Ming's heart moved. He immediately answered, “Then we'll meet at 6pm later today. Have them arrange the venue. Come and pick me up on campus later.”
