Hidden Love (novel translation)

Chapter 24

Duan Jia Xu bends his body and looks at her in the eyes "For me?"

Sang Zhi feels that the words "For me?" sound inappropriate, so she says lightly, "I'll give it back to you".

Duan Jia Xu wants to say more but he notices Sang Yan's expression. 

He suddenly shifts his attention and smiles, "Okay". Then Duan Jia Xu just takes the money and says leisurely "Thank you Mei Mei to give Ge Ge money to spend."

"Ay, Sang Yan, why do I feel like she is Xu's sister...." On the other side, Chen Jun Wen notices Sang Yan's mood change and stops. He pats Sang Yan's shoulder. "Just forget it."

———

The four of them go back to Nan Wu University's gate and they separate. Sang Yan with Sang Zhi, then Duan Jia Xu goes with Chen Jun Wen. Sang Zhi bites her last strawberry and watches Duan Jia Xu leave. 

After a while, she looks at the hostile Sang Yan. She feels a bit guilty, she immediately says ".... what?"

Sang Yan just ignores her and stops a taxi without expression. They both get on and sit down silently.

The driver is a middle-aged uncle, he is looking at both of them and says happily. "The brother and sister are fighting ah?"

Sang Zhi is startled. "No ah." She looks at Sang Yan and blinks. She couldn't help to say "It does look like that."

"Before ...." Sang Zhi mumbles. "My Ge asked me to give him a stick of strawberry crystal sugar, I just gave him the money and told him to buy it himself. But he didn't buy it, so I made him give it back to me. Then he got angry.

The driver seems to be disapproved her action. "Ah? Man, you are wrong that."

Sang Yan acts like that he doesn't hear it, he takes out his earphones. Looking at his action, Sang Zhi feels something is wrong.

It's only five dollars, why would he do that? Has Pa Ma stopped giving him money to spend lately?

She hesitates for a while, she doesn't want to have a 'cold war' with him. She just takes out her five dollar and puts it on his hand reluctantly. "For you okay."

Sang Yan takes off his earphone and says "Do I look like I want your money?"

"Oh." Sang Zhi looks at him for two seconds and put it inside her pocket again.

"Little demon, go and think for yourself." Sang Yan laughs. "Have you ever given your Ge, your biological Ge, money to spend?"

Sang Zhi shakes her head and says seriously, "But you usually take it yourself, right? Last year during the winter holidays when you bought a console," Sang Zhi says slowly, "you were two hundred dollars short, right, so you stole from my red bag.

"You have a really big red bag." Sang Yan doesn't feel guilty. "How did you know I took it?"

"Even if you only take a dollar, I will know. I didn't give you any trouble".

"...." Sang Yan asks, "Then why did you give Duan Jia Xu twenty dollar."

"This is because Duan Jia Xu gave me the money yesterday when he knew I was being blackmailed. He secretly gave me twenty dollars. Sang Zhi says calmly. "He's not like you who can only steal money from me."
