Chu Yang helped him put the ring on his middle finger. It was obvious that they had matching rings. After putting them on, they smiled at each other.
The couple spent four days in Nanhai City, visiting several scenic spots. They also bought so local specialties to send back ho - to Chi Yan's family, Chu Yang's family, and their friends.
On Sunday morning, they were about to return ho.
Unexpectedly, early in the morning, the parents of the little girl who had been swept away by the waves earlier ca to thank them.
"We really want to thank you. We originally wanted to co and express our gratitude the next day, but we didn't know where you were staying. We're truly grateful to both of you." They had been asking around for two days before finally finding out where their benefactors were staying.
The little girl's father even brought a large bundle of money to give to Chi Yan.
Chi Yan imdiately refused, "No, no, that's not necessary."
"Please, we insist. We're really so thankful."
"No need, really. Anyone would have done the sa if they were in that situation."
"Please, we won't feel right if you don't accept it."
After so back and forth, Chu Yang interrupted, "How about this - we don't need the money, we're not short of it. If you really want to thank us, you can donate the money. It'll be like earning good karma for us, and for your child too."
The couple thought this was a good idea. They thanked them again and even brought gifts, which Chu Yang accepted. They also wanted to treat them to a al.
"That's not necessary, we have to catch a flight back. We ca here as tourists and we're leaving today."
"Why not stay for a few more days? We know Nanhai City well, we could show you around if you stayed longer."
Chi Yan declined, "I'm sorry, but we're still students and we need to get back for classes. Otherwise, we'll be late."
Hearing this, they didn't insist further. They exchanged a few more words before leaving, saying, "Next ti you co to visit, feel free to look us up."
"Sure, we will."
After they left, Chu Yang wiped his forehead. They were too enthusiastic.
The rescue incident was discovered by local dia. Reporters had co intending to interview the couple, but they were too late - Chu Yang and Chi Yan were already on the plane.
They had to settle for interviewing another guy who had helped with the rescue.
Later, the local news reported on this act of bravery. The other guy received a reward. Actually, there was supposed to be a reward for the couple too. They even called Chu Yang and Chi Yan, but they declined and asked for it to be donated instead. The dia reported on this as well.
Online, everyone was full of praise. Fortunately, there were no photos of the couple in the news.
The couple finally returned to Jing City. The next day, Chu Yang went to school for classes, while Chi Yan returned to work at his company.
Because Chu Yang had originally promised to spend New Year's Eve with Chi Yan this year, she thought about inviting her parents to Jing City to celebrate together. They hadn't been to Jing City before, so it might be nice for them to co and visit.
But where they would stay in Jing City was a problem. Chu Yang wouldn't let them stay at Chi Yan's place.
She thought about buying a house.
Chu Yang calculated all her money. Because of the recent trending topic incident, she had gained so new clients. The clients were wealthy and generous. Although she had donated so of the money, Chu Yang still earned quite a bit. One wealthy client even directly gave her 1 million yuan.
Besides that, there were so amounts of 50,000 or 100,000 yuan. Chu Yang also looked at the pocket money given by Chairman Qian and Chi Yan's grandfather.
Chairman Qian had given 5 million, while Chi Yan's grandfather had given 2 million as pocket money.
2 million... as pocket money...
That evening, Chu Yang curiously asked Chi Yan, "How much pocket money did you usually get before?"
Chi Yan scratched his head, "Huh? Pocket money? I don't know, actually. There was never a shortage of money in my card. I get dividends from Chi Corporation, which are directly deposited into my account each year. I keep my own card, and my parents also give money during holidays and festivals, so I never really paid attention.
As for my brother, uncles, and cousins, sotis they worry I might not have enough money, so they casually give 100,000 or 800,000 yuan. Sotis they even give a million or so.
In short, I've never been short of money, so I never paid much attention to it."
Chu Yang: ... She felt like she had heard such pretentious talk sowhere before.
"Why are you asking about this? Oh, right, I should be giving you pocket money too," Chi Yan suddenly realized.
Chu Yang made a stopping gesture, "No need, don't forget your card is still with . You don't need to give money. I was just curious. Alright, alright, you can go back to your work."
Chu Yang looked up housing prices online and calculated. She should be able to afford a nice apartnt in a good location. It would be enough.
She acted imdiately. When she didn't have classes, Chu Yang went to look at houses. After running around for several days, she finally bought a satisfactory fully furnished apartnt that was ready for imdiate occupancy.
Of course, she had to tell her family about buying a house. So after getting the property deed, Chu Yang took a photo and sent it to her family group chat, saying, "I bought an apartnt. Co to Jing City this year, let's spend the New Year here."
Chu's Mom: !!!
Chu's Dad: !!!
Soon, Chu's Mom called Chu Yang, her voice trembling, "Yang Yang, how... how much was it?"
Chu Yang: "Just a few million."
"Is... is the money enough?"
Chu Yang didn't ntion that she paid in full, "It's enough, I'm paying in installnts, just 3,000 yuan a month. The down paynt is already paid. Don't worry, I have money. It's good to buy early, it might appreciate in value." She decided to gloss over so details.
"Then I'll transfer the money I gave you before back to you." Then, thinking that 3,000 a month was manageable for them, she added, "As for the mortgage, Dad and I can give you a bit more each month."
Chu Yang refused, "No need, I said I have money, don't worry. I can earn money, a lot of money. You saw that I bought a car too."
Chu's Mom hesitantly asked, "You... you haven't done anything inappropriate, have you?" She had heard that working in places like bars could earn quite a bit of money.
As soon as Chu Yang heard this, she knew what her mother wanted to say. "Don't worry, all my money is earned through my own intellect and hard work. In any case, you should trust your daughter. By the way, when Chu Luo is on holiday, you should co with him to visit. We'll be spending New Year's in Jing City this year. You can also co see my school."
"Alright, alright," her parents agreed.
After chatting for a while longer, they finally hung up. Chu Yang let out a sigh of relief, having successfully reassured them.
Besides telling her parents, she also needed to inform Chi Yan, but she wasn't sure how to bring it up. She felt he might get upset, thinking she shouldn't have bought a house when he could have given her one of his, or that he could have bought one for her directly. He might wonder if she didn't truly consider him as her boyfriend.
That evening, when Chi Yan returned ho, Chu Yang kept glancing at him, wanting to speak but hesitating.
"What's the matter? Is there sothing you want to tell ?" Chi Yan asked as he sat down beside her.
