"Hmph!"

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately snorted and then loudly said, "My sister will be here soon! She has a lot of money."

The cashier was really frightened by the girl and impatiently said, "Then find your sister and come back to buy these things."

The girl looked at the items in her hand. They were foods she wanted to take but the cashier wouldn’t let her.

Pouting, the girl looked very unhappy.

She glanced around and spotted Qin Yun, suddenly pausing for a moment.

Then she quickly ran over,

"Brother!"

The girl came running in great delight towards Qin Yun and shouted.

"Brother, I finally see you again."

Then she grabbed Qin Yun’s arm and said, "Brother, I bought some food, you can pay for me!"

Qin Yun: "???"

Yu Leyao: "???"

At this moment, Qin Yun was completely dumbfounded. He had just come here to pay, and a girl he didn’t know rushed over, calling him brother, and then asked him to pay?

Is this a scam?

With Qin Yun’s physique, even a basketball player wouldn’t be his match; he could probably easily push her away, but looking at this girl, Qin Yun instinctively made no moves.

However, the girl didn’t manage to drag Qin Yun along.

"Wait a moment, my brother will pay." Seeing that she couldn’t drag Qin Yun, she looked at the urging cashier and shouted with urgency.

"Can’t you guys hurry up?"

"You’re wasting everyone’s time!"

The queue of people waiting to pay was unhappy and voiced out.

Qin Yun: "..."

He felt very helpless, but he didn’t argue. Dragged by the girl, he stepped forward and paid.

Having purchased the items, the girl was happy and began to eat.

When it was time to pay, Qin Yun also paid for the items he had bought.

Having spent money out of nowhere, Qin Yun felt speechless, yet he didn’t make a fuss about it.

He found it unusual that he didn’t have any negative feelings toward this girl, unlike what he might have felt with someone else, where he would probably have shaken them off by now.

"Leyao, let’s go," Qin Yun said.

"Mm."

Yu Leyao nodded.

She withdrew her gaze from the strange girl, feeling that the girl seemed somewhat abnormal.

They prepared to leave but hadn’t walked a few steps when the girl surprisingly followed them. She glanced curiously at Yu Leyao, then looked at Qin Yun and asked, "Brother, where are you going?"

She looked as though she was genuinely unpretending, as if Qin Yun really was her brother.

"I say, you’re overacting."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun looked at the girl and helplessly said, "We both know the real situation, so stop pretending."

He only had two older sisters, where did a younger sister come from?

As for the possibility of having a lost younger sister, that was even more unlikely. He could still recall things from his childhood.

Hearing Qin Yun’s words, the girl asked in confusion, "Brother, what are you talking about?"

She looked at Qin Yun curiously, seemingly not understanding what he meant.

Just as Qin Yun was about to say something, two people not far away approached. They seemed about two years younger than the girl pestering Qin Yun, and upon seeing the girl in front of Qin Yun, they began to comment.

"Isn’t this Xu Xiaoyou, the big fool?"

"Took five years in middle school and only scored a two-digit mark for the high school entrance exam. Not staying home to study and instead running to a supermarket."

These two girls said, their faces unmasked with ridicule.

"You guys are so annoying! You’re the fools."

Hearing their remarks, the girl Xu Xiaoyou immediately shouted angrily, her eyes wide, cheeks puffed, looking very angry.

"Right, right, we’re the fools."

"Let’s go, Xiaoru. What’s there to talk about with someone who’s had a mental illness?"

The two girls laughed, and then they walked away.

At this time, both Qin Yun and Yu Leyao had heard what those people had said. They exchanged a glance, each seeing the other’s thought.

This girl named Xu Xiaoyou really has a mental illness?

For some reason, Qin Yun had an inexplicable sense of closeness to Xu Xiaoyou. Thinking it over, he asked, "Are you called Xu Xiaoyou? Who else is in your family?"

He thought it best to contact the girl’s family.

"Yes, brother, my name is Xu Xiaoyou. Do you remember now?"

Upon hearing Qin Yun’s inquiry, Xu Xiaoyou happily said, "I still have a sister and parents at home."

She looked at Qin Yun and added, "Brother, why haven’t you come back for so long? Xiaoyou hasn’t seen you in such a long, long time."

Qin Yun: "???"

He thought to himself that the girl made it sound as though they’d met before.

He asked again, "Do you know your sister’s phone number?"

"I remember." Hearing Qin Yun ask this, Xu Xiaoyou was instantly happy.

Using the number, Qin Yun made a call, and someone quickly answered.

From the sound of it, the person seemed anxious, and upon hearing what Qin Yun said, they promised to rush over immediately.

After hanging up, Qin Yun said, "Your sister should be here in about ten minutes. Let’s find a place to wait."

He glanced at a small restaurant not far away and led Xu Xiaoyou inside.

"Brother, I want to eat this." Upon arriving at the restaurant, Xu Xiaoyou looked at the variety of foods inside and couldn’t help herself from shouting.

Qin Yun didn’t say much, simply bought it for her.

He and Yu Leyao waited there, watching the girl eat with relish.

Ten minutes later, a girl in her twenties hurriedly entered the small restaurant. She seemed about twenty-five or twenty-six and rather pretty, but there was an unmistakable tiredness on her face.

"Xiaoyou." After entering, the young woman quickly scanned the restaurant, then promptly locked onto a spot and hurried over.

Upon arrival, she quickly called out to Xu Xiaoyou. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Sister."

Hearing the young woman’s call, Xu Xiaoyou looked up and immediately shouted.

"Sister, the food here is so delicious. Have some too," Xu Xiaoyou happily said.

"You take your time." Seeing her sister enjoying the food, the young woman Xu Xiaoqian also smiled.

She looked toward Qin Yun and Yu Leyao, quickly saying, "Thank you. How much did you spend on Xiaoyou? I’ll transfer it to you."

She looked over the items in front of her sister and the ones she was eating. Given the high standard of the small restaurant, the dishes were expensive, and it must have been Qin Yun and Yu Leyao who paid.

"No need."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yun waved his hand. He actually felt no ill will toward Xu Xiaoyou; instead, he felt sorry that she wasn’t in good mental health. That small amount of money wasn’t worth fussing over.

It seemed, judging by Xu Xiaoqian’s attire, their conditions weren’t very good as her clothes appeared quite worn.

"Since you’re here, we’ll take our leave."

Qin Yun got up, ready to leave.
