"Alright, I..."
Feng Qi Shi was cut off mid-sentence. A girl stopped beside them. "Feng Feng, so that's how it is."
Feng Feng frowned and turned to look at the girl.
The girl glanced at Feng Qi Shi and said, "So you were using me. Your real purpose in coming out was to find a boyfriend. You hateful person, you made all my friends leave. It's all your fault."
Feng Qi Shi detested anyone speaking ill of his sister. Seeing the girl's current demeanor, he pulled Feng Feng aside and faced her. "What do you mean?"
"You look so old. Let me tell you, she's not a good girl. Being with her will only bring you endless trouble."
Feng Qi Shi stared at the girl for a few seconds and said, "Feng Feng, did she borrow money from you?"
"Yes." Feng Feng looked up at Feng Qi Shi and nodded.
"What are you talking about?" the girl asked, confused.
"That fifty yuan, did she borrow it?" Feng Qi Shi asked again.
Feng Feng glanced at the girl and nodded, "It was her."
"Alright, I understand." Feng Qi Shi looked at Feng Feng, then down at the girl's wide, terrified eyes, and said, "First, I am her brother. Second, I'm only two years older than you two, not old at all. Third, pay up." He then held out his hand.
"Why should I pay you back? I don't understand what you're talking about." The girl was flustered.
Seeing the girl's expression, Feng Qi Shi asked, "Sister, didn't you tell her you have a brother as outstanding as me?"
"No." Feng Feng dared not lie and lowered her head.
Feng Qi Shi glanced at Feng Feng's slightly panicked expression, sighed, and said, "Fine, I forgive you." He then turned his gaze back to the girl's face. "Alright, pay me back."
"I don't owe you any money." The girl averted her gaze.
"Half a year ago, you borrowed fifty yuan from my sister. That fifty yuan was mine, so you must return it to me now." Feng Qi Shi jiggled his hand.
"I didn't..."
"Sixty."
"I didn't..."
"One hundred." Feng Qi Shi's eyes turned stern.
"I..."
"Five hundred yuan, not a cent less."
"..." The girl was speechless.
"You don't know why I'm asking for so much?" Feng Qi Shi asked.
The girl bit her lip, not daring to utter a word.
"Speak, I'm not raising the price," Feng Qi Shi said coldly.
"I don't know." The girl meekly spat out three words, no longer appearing as arrogant as before.
"You don't know? Let me tell you. For half a year, my sister's living expenses were two hundred a week. But every time before she left, she had to ask me for some money, those miscellaneous expenses." Feng Qi Shi said, then glanced at Mu An Xiao, who had just returned behind the girl, and waved. "Come here, give me your phone."
"Okay." Mu An Xiao agreed, took out his phone from his pocket, and handed it to Feng Qi Shi as he brushed past the girl.
Feng Qi Shi took the phone, opened the notes app, and displayed all the accounts from the past six months to the girl. "Those miscellaneous expenses have already exceeded two thousand. I saved this money painstakingly. Of course, it wasn't until the day my sister asked me for fifty yuan for the last time that I discovered the clue."
"Brother, why do you keep accounts?" Feng Feng asked in surprise.
Feng Qi Shi glanced at Feng Feng and continued, "That day, I heard you calling her. Of course, I didn't intend to eavesdrop, but my sister was washing her face and had put the call on speaker. Then, because of you," he pointed at the girl's face, "my sister and I broke ties."
