Ye Shihan was surprised by Xiaoya's infatuation, but he knew clearly that he didn't know who he was now, so he couldn't promise her anything. Besides, Xiaoya was like his sister in his heart, how could he possibly do it?
What about falling in love with her?
But her request was so simple, she just wanted to stay with him, so how could he bear to turn her away again?
So he pondered for a while and said:
"Does grandpa know you are here? You can stay if you want. You have to go back and tell grandpa first, otherwise he will be worried."
"Grandpa knows." Xiaoya replied hurriedly, "I told him before I came here that I would come to see you, and he agreed, so there is no need to tell him. We can just go back and see him in a few days."
Of course she was lying, but Ye Shihan didn't know that, and he thought everything she said was true.
"You can stay with me for a few days, but it can't be too long. It's really inconvenient for me, a grown man, to have you by my side."
"I know."
Xiaoya squinted her eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, Brother Zhu, I will go out to find some work tomorrow. I won't let you support me, and I won't eat in vain."
When she said this, she grinned.
Looking at her dirty face, Ye Shihan shook his head helplessly, "Let's go and wash up in the inn. Just now I thought you were a beggar."
Xiaoya spread her right hand, and the ten cents was in her palm, "Look, I know it's hard for you to make money, so I'll pay you back the ten cents."
Ye Shihan pushed her hand back directly, "You can keep it. I'll go buy some clothes tomorrow. Your clothes are scratched."
After his reminder, Xiaoya had time to lower her head and look at herself. It didn't matter, her clothes were indeed in tatters and had a few holes in them.
She stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "Okay, then just treat it like I borrowed it from you, and I'll pay you back later when I make money."
But she still doesn't know what she can do to make money. As a woman, it's really not easy to make money in a place where women are not allowed to show up.
When Ye Shihan took Xiaoya back to the inn, the waiter couldn't help but come over to watch the fun.
"Brother Zhu, where did you find this little wife? She's not bad looking."
Xiaoya grinned sheepishly, while Ye Shihan frowned.
"This is my sister, you can't talk nonsense."
Hearing what he said, the waiter in the shop was embarrassed to record the content and scratched his head, "Oh, it turns out to be the little girl. I blame my blindness. Where did the little girl come from? Why is she like this?"
Xiaoya stuck out her tongue, "I came from home. My family lives in the mountains. I fell down while going down the mountain."
The waiter didn't ask any more questions, Ye Shihan said directly:
"Can you please help me arrange a room for my little sister and boil some hot water? She needs to take a good bath."
The waiter hurriedly responded, "Okay, the girl will live next door to your brother. The guests there just checked out today. I will boil water for you. Please wait a moment."
Watching the waiter leave, Ye Shihan took Xiaoya up to the second floor. Although this inn was not big, it was clean and quiet. This is why Ye Shihan likes to live here.
He pushed open the room adjacent to him and said to Xiaoya:
"Go in and have a rest. When the hot water is brought up, you can take a shower."
"But……"
Xiaoya lowered her head and looked at herself in embarrassment, "I'd better wash it tomorrow, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to wear these clothes again if I take them off tomorrow."
Ye Shihan frowned and looked her up and down, her clothes were really in tatters.
So he sighed helplessly, "I'll buy you some clothes."
After saying that, before Xiaoya could stop him, he had already stepped out of the door.
He really didn't understand buying clothes for women. He couldn't help but wonder, did he buy clothes for any woman before he lost his memory? Are his family members looking for him everywhere?
Thinking of this, he breathed a long sigh of relief and walked quickly to the clothing store in the city.
Although it was already evening, there were several ready-to-wear shops still open. He bought a set based on the figure of the landlady. Anyway, as long as it was a complete piece of clothing, it would be fine.
When he went back, the door to Xiaoya's room had been closed. It seemed that she was already taking a shower. He knocked lightly on the door.
"Xiaoya, the clothes are left at the door. Come and get them yourself."
"How can I get it when I'm naked? You can bring it in for me?"
Hearing this, Ye Shihan frowned in displeasure, "There are differences between men and women. It's really inconvenient for me to go in. Otherwise, why don't I go downstairs to see if there are any female guests?"
Xiaoya pursed her lips inside and pushed the door open. It turned out that she had thought that Brother Zhu would not come in to give her clothes, and it was impossible for her to come out naked to get clothes, so she did not go into the water in advance, but
Wait for him to get his clothes back before going into the water.
Seeing that she was still the same as before, Ye Shihan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, handed the clothes in his hand to her, and said softly:
"Secure the door."
After leaving these words, he turned around and left, and Xiaoya's door also closed with a creak.
When he returned to the room and lay on the bed, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. When he was alone, he picked up some odd jobs on the dock and was able to keep warm. Now that Xiaoya is here, what should he do? He is a grown man.
, we can’t let her show up as a woman to make money, right? Besides, where is the money for her to make?
Thinking of this, his mind began to spin around, thinking about how he could make more money.
In the early morning of this day, he did not go to the dock to find odd jobs. When Xiaoya got up, he happened to come back from outside.
Xiaoya looked at him curiously,
"Brother Zhu, where were you this morning?"
Ye Shihan glanced at the things in his hands and said, "Buy some pen and ink."
"what are you up to?"
Xiaoya looked at him with puzzled eyes. She didn't know the word. She always thought that this thing was only for rich people.
"During this period, I looked on the street and found that there were no ghostwriters in Huizhou City, so I wanted to make a living from this."
Xiaoya looked at him with surprise, "You can write?"
"I know a little bit." Ye Shihan nodded directly. Although he had lost his memory, he still remembered some of his abilities.
He also believed in his own penmanship and had no problem writing letters for others.
Xiaoya looked at him with admiration,
"Brother Zhu, you are so amazing. You can even write. How about I grind the ink for you?"
Although she doesn't know how, she wants to stay with Brother Zhu.
Ye Shihan didn't refuse, "Okay, let's go downstairs to have some breakfast. Then we'll ask the waiter to borrow a table. We'll open today."
"Okay!"
Xiaoya was so happy that she could do anything as long as she could be with her brother Zhu.
