Give her something good to eat

Going to the police station to make a statement was something Jiang Yun was already quite familiar with.

According to the police officer who took his statement, apart from the cash reward, he would also receive additional commendations this time.

Finding it too troublesome, Jiang Yun directly asked them to donate the reward money on his behalf.

However, the authorities insisted that he attend the commendation ceremony in person. Unable to talk them out of it, Jiang Yun had no choice but to agree.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when he and Tuntun finally left the police station.

"What should we do now? Go back for hot pot?" Jiang Yun asked, turning to look at Tuntun.

Hearing this, Tuntun pointed at a nearby noodle shop without the slightest hesitation. "A bowl of noodles will do. I'm sleepy."

Although she had slept for over ten hours yesterday, Tuntun still felt a bit lightheaded.

Combined with her sprained ankle—which still felt uncomfortable even after being rubbed with safflower oil at the police station—she didn't want to walk any further.

Of course, more importantly, she was worried that something else bizarre might happen.

"Alright."

Jiang Yun nodded and directly supported Tuntun as they walked over to the nearby noodle shop.

Upon entering, they casually ordered two bowls of noodles and sat down at a table, scrolling through their phones while they waited.

While they were waiting, a baby-faced girl walked into the restaurant.

As she entered, she subconsciously scanned the room, and her gaze was instantly caught by Jiang Yun sitting in the corner.

She walked over cautiously and asked, "Excuse me, are you Brother Yunzi?"

Jiang Yun, who was busy with his phone, heard someone calling him and nodded politely. "Yes, I am. Is there something you need?"

"It really is you!"

The girl said with some excitement, "I'm your fan. I've been following you for a long time, and I'm a Level 16 badge holder on your channel."

"Uh... hello."

Jiang Yun offered a polite greeting.

At that moment, the girl took out her phone and asked, "May I take a photo with you?"

"Sure."

Jiang Yun certainly wouldn't refuse such a small request.

However, after taking one, the girl requested, "Can we take a few more? From different angles."

"Uh... alright."

Because she claimed to be his fan, Jiang Yun found it hard to turn her down.

And so, the photo session lasted for several minutes.

The girl made Jiang Yun pose from various angles, taking over a hundred photos. His bowl of noodles was even served, yet she still wouldn't let him go.

Realizing at this point that she might have taken a few too many, the girl explained, "I'm so sorry, Brother Yunzi. I've taken up a lot of your time, and I didn't mean to. There's a reason for it."

"It's fine, it's fine."

Since she had apologized, what more could Jiang Yun say?

Just as Jiang Yun was planning to return to his seat to eat his noodles, the girl asked again, "Can we take just a few more?"

Jiang Yun: ..........

To be honest, Jiang Yun really wanted to ask her: Do my photos have some special magical property? Why do you need to take so many?

The next second, however, the girl offered her own explanation: "Mainly because I want to print out your photos and burn them as offerings to my late grandmother. She raised me all by herself and never got to enjoy anything nice in life, so I wanted to send her some handsome guys."

Jiang Yun: ???????

Miss, there is a serious problem with what you just said!

Do you think this is polite?

Do you genuinely think this is polite? Huh?!!

"Pfft~"

Tuntun, who was eating her noodles, couldn't hold it in and spat out the noodles she had in her mouth.

Facing the girl's pleading gaze, Jiang Yun said speechlessly, "Miss, I know you're a dutiful granddaughter, but there's really no need to express your filial piety in this particular way. Let me thank you on behalf of your grandmother."

"Oh, I see."

Hearing this, the girl lowered her head with a look of disappointment.

Seeing her dejected expression, Jiang Yun inexplicably felt like comforting her, but the words simply wouldn't come out.

Because what this girl had just said... to put it nicely, was eccentric. To put it bluntly, it was outright idiotic.

Burning photos of a living person as an offering to the deceased, under the guise of letting them enjoy something nice.

Did she even consider Jiang Yun's feelings?

If Jiang Yun had even a slightly worse temper, he would have started cursing right then and there.

Is this something a normal person would do?

Without saying another word, Jiang Yun silently walked back to his seat and began eating his noodles.

Yet, completely lacking any social awareness, the girl pulled out a chair, sat directly across from him and Tuntun, and asked, "Brother Yunzi, I heard you're a billionaire. Can I ask you a few questions?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yun let out a helpless sigh. "Sigh~ Miss, as for how to make money, I've already talked about it on my livestream. If you're really my fan, you should have heard—"

"No, no, I'm not asking about making money. I have something else to ask you."

Huh?

"Not about making money?" Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, then said, "Alright then, go ahead."

The girl looked at Jiang Yun with eager anticipation. "I want to know how Brother Yunzi usually passes the time. I feel so bored all the time."

"Bored?" Jiang Yun looked at her with a weird expression. "If you're bored, get a job. Once you're working, you won't be bored anymore. If you really have that much spare time, find a part-time job."

"Huh?" The girl's mouth opened slightly in surprise. "I have to work?"

Jiang Yun was dumbfounded. She had claimed to be a Level 16 badge holder, and since he had been live-streaming on Douyin for less than a month, reaching such a high badge level meant she must have spent at least tens of thousands of yuan. Is that something an unemployed person could afford?

"How do you support yourself if you don't work? Do you live off your parents?"

The girl waved her hand. "I'm pretty much like you, Brother Yunzi. My parents abandoned me not long after I was born because they were disappointed I wasn't a boy. I was raised by my grandmother, who passed away a few years ago."

Jiang Yun: ?????

"Then how do you support yourself?"

Jiang Yun was genuinely baffled.

No job, no parental support, yet she had money...

Sensing Jiang Yun's confusion at last, the girl explained, "Well, it's like this. My grades weren't good when I was in school, so I dropped out at sixteen and stayed home to help my grandmother farm.

"When I turned eighteen, my grandmother introduced me to a guy. After dating for a while, we got married. Although we never got an official marriage certificate, we did hold a wedding banquet.

"Not long after we got married, my husband went away to do business and made a fortune within two years. But by then, he looked down on me and proposed a divorce. To compensate me, he gave me three million yuan plus a villa in Chongqing.

"I was only twenty-two when we divorced, and thinking it would be boring to live alone, I found another guy and got married again.

"His family didn't have much money, but he was ambitious and hardworking. I invested over a million yuan in him, and a few years later, he struck it rich too.

"However, just like my first husband, once he got rich, he looked down on me as well and asked for a divorce.

"This time, he gave me over four million yuan plus three commercial storefronts in downtown Beijing.

"Not counting the cash I have in the bank, the storefronts alone bring in nearly a hundred thousand yuan every month, so I haven't really needed to work.

"But I always feel so bored, which is why I wanted to ask you for advice, Brother Yunzi."

After listening to the girl's story, Jiang Yun fell silent.
