"Little Yu get these things for Xing Chen and bring them here." Qi Youmei gave a small piece of paper and said to a staff girl with short hair and cute facial features with big eyes and small lips.
"Yes, sister Mei!" The girl named Xiao Yu slightly bowed to her and ran to get items.
While the staff girl went to fetch things Xing Chen and Qi Youmei begun to talk, in less than five minutes the stiff atmosphere melted and a smile broke out on Youmei's face after hearing Xing Chen's jokes.
Naturally, the jokes he told her were from bei Xuan's memories which was much funnier than the general jokes from their world.
Although Qi youmei was also surprised by the change in his personality and his strange behavior today, but she didn't take it in her heart and in fact, she likes his present attitude, unlike his old self.
Generally when he comes into their shop before he behaves restrained not only in his actions but also in conversation.
But today she felt real him, and hope that he continues to be like this unrestrained and carefree.
Just as they were having a joyful conversation the girl named Xiao Yu to come back with a flushed face and rugged breath carrying two big leather bags in her hand and stood in front of them.
"Xiao Yu quickly put them on the table, No! let me come, also I told you many times that you don't have run every time in such a hurry, especially when you're carrying such heavyweight."Qi youmei saw her with uneven breath quickly went forward and picked leather bags from her hand while reprimanded her in a worried tone.
"Sister Mei, I'm fine please don't worry." Xiao Yu saw Youmei reprimanding her she was not angry but with a hint of guilt lowered her head and muttered in a low voice.
"You!! Why don't you listen?" Seeing her action Youmei was a little angry at first but then asked in a helpless tone.
"I'm sorry." She replied in a low voice but didn't lift her head.
Looking at her, Qi Youmei shook her head speechlessly, she knew her difficulties as she knew her family circumstances that's why even if she's angry but can't say anything.
On the other hand, Xing Chen listened to the conversation between them, he already guessed something is off, and this cute little sister named Xiao Yu should be a person with a story after looking at her expressions and Youmei's.
Although he was a little curious but didn't ask anything and stood there silently.
Nevertheless, he stood there in silence but it doesn't mean that he is indifferent or apathetic, just he feared if he asked something, then the little girl named Xiao Yu could not bear to weep as she was barely controlling her emotions, so he did this in order not to excite her more.
"Ok Xiao Yu, you go and take a break and let other staff members do work."
In the end, Qi Youmei let her go and take a break for a while, to let her calm her emotions.
"Yes, Sister Mei." Xiao Yu said in an almost inaudible voice and went away with a distressful back.
Looking at her slender and lonely back, don't know why Xing Chen felt pain in his heart as if something mercilessly pierced his heart.
"Sister Youmei, Xiao Yu, She....why is she so distressed?" After a moment of silence, Xing Chen turned his face and asked Youmei hesitatingly.
"Sigh, Actually Xiao Yu is quite pitiful, her parents were servants of our Qi Family but two years ago her father died in Qinglong mountain forest range when he went for a treasure exploration with our guard team and ended up dying under the claw of a ferocious beast"
"After knowing the death of her husband, Xiao Yu's mother got sick, and less than two weeks later she also died in distress and pain of losing a loved one, leaving Xiao Yu alone in this cruel world."
"Since then Xiao Yu lived in Qi Mansion and start working in our shop, although my father told her not to work, but she is not willing to owe such favor and stubbornly stood firm in her viewpoint."
Saying this Qi Youmei shook her head with regret and remorse.
Xing Chen shook his head and replied to her: "Sister Youmei, you don't need to be like this although Xiao Yu is pitiful but that's how this world works and if you want to stand up from the masses you must first learn to endure hardship and stand firm on your viewpoints, in my opinion, she is right and truly a strong young girl." Pausing for a moment he continues to say again in a deep voice."If she hopes to become something great or even wants to live a good life then struggles are necessary and believe me once she learned how to be strong then she'll become the person that others could only look up to."
Qi Youmei stunned by his sudden reply, and looked at him with strange looks, she said in a soft voice and sighed: "Sigh! You're right it's a sin to be weak in this world"
"Ok, you put away these things first, also you haven't told me you already become such a deep philosophist?" she said humorously as she regained her spirit.
"You never asked" he replied as he smiled making her blush a little.
'Swish!'
After he waved his hand and the two leather bags disappeared instantly.
"Thanks, sister Youmei, I have to go now see ya next time also if you're free then come to our Xing Mansion I'll entertain you with the best hospitality." Saying this he invited her into their Xing Mansion.
"Well, Sure if I'm free someday I'll come to Xing Mansion," she replied as she smiled which overshadowed her surroundings even let him stay on the spot.
"Sister Mei you smile so beautifully," he said as he secretly wiped his saliva drooling from his mouth.
"You! Rascal even dare to tease your sister!" Qi Youmei Said pretendingly in a charmingly and indignant manner but in heart, she liked it very much to be praised by him.
Naturally, this daughter's stance is only limited to Xing Chen, and in front of others, she is always an indifferent and quiet lady.
"Hehe! Ok see you, next time sister Mei, goodbye and take care." Xing Chen said as he grinned and clasped his fist into another hand saying goodbye.
"Um, goodbye!"
After leaving Ding's treasure Shop, Xing Chen found his horse, Xiao Ye near a tree on the side of the shop, laying leisurely and lazily.
"Neigh!!!"
Just as Xiao Ye saw Xing Chen coming out of the shop all the lazy temperament disappeared, as he stood up and ran towards him and cried out in excitement seeing his owner.
"Hehe, sorry Xiao Ye for letting you wait for such long, ok let's go back to Xing Mansion as soon as possible." petting his head Xing Chen said to him.
"Go" Xing Chen smiled and ordered Xiao Ye as he jumped on his back
"Neigh!" Xiao Ye Once again cried out and ran towards the destination.
