The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Ideas

”Alright, classmates, after you receive your new books, you can head home. Make sure not to be late on the first day of formal classes,” Yao Hailai said, waving his hand dismissively towards the students.

Yiyi packed her bag and looked at Fei Erya, saying, ”Er Ya, let’s head home.”

”Okay.”

Fei Erya nodded and stood up, ready to leave with Yiyi.

At this moment, Le Ping, who was sitting in front of them, turned around and glanced at the two of them. ”When did you two get so close, going home together?” She then looked at Yiyi and asked, ”Mo Yiyi, I remember your home isn’t in town, right? How can you and Er Ya be on the same route?”

Yiyi raised an eyebrow at this and then said, ”I live in town now, very close to Er Ya’s house, so naturally, we’re on the same path.”

”Oh... you’re living in town now, huh.”

This truly surprised Le Ping a bit, but seeing that Yiyi didn’t seem eager to talk more, she didn’t press the matter. After Yiyi and Fei Erya walked away, she couldn’t help but pout, ”This Mo Yiyi has really changed a lot. Not only has she gotten prettier, but even her personality has changed a bit.”

Yiyi, naturally, was unaware of anyone discussing her, but even if she knew, she wouldn’t care. After sending Fei Erya home, she waved to her and said, ”Er Ya, see you the day after tomorrow.” The day after tomorrow was the first day of formal classes.

”Okay, see you the day after tomorrow.”

Seeing Yiyi’s smiling face, Fei Erya felt quite relaxed, but she still had a slightly disapproving tone as she said, ”Yiyi, you don’t need to go out of your way to walk me home next time. I can come by myself, and you can head back earlier.”

”It’s no problem, really. It’s not that far anyway.”

With that, Yiyi cheerfully ran off. Although Fei Erya wouldn’t have any issues for now, Yiyi wanted to see if she could spot any signs early, so she planned to walk Er Ya home every night.

She hadn’t gone far when she turned to head in another direction. She planned to stop by the pharmacy to get some medicine; her mother and sister were running low on their medicine, and she had her tonic to get, too. She felt like she might have grown taller, even if it was just a psychological effect. She’d measure her height next time.

But before she reached the pharmacy, she saw a familiar figure from behind.

”Mo Ping...”

The Mo Ping walking ahead, upon hearing someone call him, turned around. Seeing it was Yiyi, he couldn’t help but say, ”Oh, it’s you.”

”What are you doing here? Are you in town to buy something?”

After everything with Mr. Lu, Yiyi’s impression of Mo Ping had changed significantly, so bumping into him now, she could chat with ease.

But Mo Ping, after hearing this, fell silent. Finally, he sighed and said, ”I’m not here to buy things; I’m just wandering around the town. Also... I’ve left Luwei Village.”

”What...”

This genuinely surprised Yiyi, ”You mean you’re not going back to Luwei Village anymore?”

”That’s right.”

Mo Ping nodded with determination, ”Staying in the village every day brings back memories of the past, making me feel depressed. It’s better to leave.”

At this, Yiyi didn’t ask more, but from this, she could tell that Mo Ping was indeed sentimental. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be emotionally stirred by past events that happened so long ago. ”Have you found a place to stay?”

”Haha... not yet.”

Mo Ping suddenly seemed a little embarrassed.

His plan was to leave the village and live in the unfamiliar town, but he found that everything in town costs money, and someone like him, without savings, couldn’t really make it.

Yiyi wasn’t surprised by this answer and said, ”Let me help you find a place to stay first.”

Mo Ping felt a bit tempted, but seeing Yiyi, who was much younger, he felt somewhat embarrassed asking his help. ”No need, no need, you should take care of your own things first.”

Seeing Mo Ping’s obvious desire but contradictory words, Yiyi couldn’t help but pout, ”My stuff isn’t urgent. Let’s go find you a place to stay first.” She then led the way.

”Hey...”

Mo Ping wanted to refuse again, but Yiyi had already walked ahead, so he quickly followed.

Over time, Yiyi had become more familiar with the town, so it didn’t take long to find an affordable inn.

”You can stay here for a couple of days. I’ll come by tomorrow.” She had just had an idea, deeply feeling Mo Ping was a suitable candidate.

Having a place to stay was great for Mo Ping, so he quickly thanked Yiyi with a smile, ”Alright, thank you for today.”

”No need to thank me. We’ve been through quite a bit together, this is really nothing.”

Once Yiyi left the inn, she rushed to the pharmacy and then hurried home.

”Yiyi, why are you back so late? Did the teacher keep you?”

Yiyi shook her head at these words and said, ”No, today’s school registration went smoothly. I just bumped into Mo Ping on the way, so it took a bit longer.”

”Oh... that’s it.”

Knowing the reason, Ding Yuejun finally felt relieved.

”Mom, I’ll go make the medicine for you and sister.”

Seeing her daughter happily going to prepare the medicine for them, Ding Yuejun couldn’t help but smile, and she also went into the kitchen to make dinner.

The next day, Yiyi went to the inn early. Seeing her, Mo Ping was quite delighted, ”You’re here early.”

”I have something to discuss with you today.”

Yiyi didn’t beat around the bush and directly shared her thoughts, ”I want to open a store and have you manage things there.”

Mo Ping was a bit taken aback by this,

”You... are you serious?”

”Of course, I came specifically to tell you this today.”

Mo Ping thought a lot, finally sighing, ”The younger generation outcompetes the older ones. Kids like you are already thinking of doing business.”

”So what’s your thought now? Do you want to help or not?”

Mo Ping quickly raised his hands, ”Yes, of course, but can I ask what the store will mainly sell?” He had no place to go, and town life was challenging, so managing a store might allow him to settle in the town. However, he was curious about what kind of store Yiyi planned to open.

Yiyi nodded, ”Of course, it’ll sell things women love, like the whitening herbal medicine I’ve been taking.”

”So you’ve gotten lighter because of herbal medicine. If that’s the case, your medicine really works.” Mo Ping noted her transformation.

Yiyi smiled, ”It works, otherwise I wouldn’t suggest it.”

”So what do we do next?”

Yiyi stood up, ”Naturally, we find a suitable store location. This way, you’ll also have a place to stay.”
