I play wind instruments in Kansai.

"It's alright, it won't cost much," Hayami Tenma Sei said with a forced smile, suppressing the emptiness in his heart.

"Oh."

After successfully backing the car out, Hayami Tenma waved to Miyamine Nozomi and drove off.

After crossing a T-junction, she suddenly stopped, put the car in gear, and called Ayaka Osaka.

"Hello? What's up?"

Hearing Ayaka Osaka's voice, Tenma Hayami couldn't hold back and burst into tears with red eyes.

"Waaaaah—"

"Hey? What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"I...I...I scratched the car, waaaaah..."

"I thought it was something serious, but it's nothing, as long as it can be opened!"

"I know, but... I just can't help it..."

Although it was a shared car for the two of them, Ayaka Osaka seemed very generous.

But Hayami Tenma was still crying, which scared her so much that she thought she had hit some luxury car and that her insurance couldn't cover the damage.

Upon inquiry, it turned out to be just the wall surrounding the Gongling family's residence.

96. Miyamine Nozomi's "Borrowing Money Plan"

Not long after, my mother returned from the nearby shopping mall.

When they discovered that Director Hayami's car was no longer there, the mother only asked a brief question and did not blame Miyamune for not keeping her there.

"Supervisor Hayami told me about your situation at school."

Miyamine Nozomi paused for a moment, not understanding what Hayami Tenma Sei had said to his mother, but he didn't say anything.

My mother cut the pork ribs she bought into small pieces and put them into small plastic bags to save more space in the freezer.

"Young people have their own ideas, that's normal. As long as you don't let it interfere with your work, that's fine. Focus on your studies and don't worry me."

"Oh."

"And at your age, a sense of propriety is very important."

"Oh."

The mother's attitude was very good, so it seems that Hayami Tenma didn't tell her about the relationship between the two of them.

Although this country woman sometimes says some nonsensical things, she is generally sensible.

"Supervisor Hayami is so young," the mother remarked. "Does he have a boyfriend yet?"

"I don't know."

"I was so young and beautiful back then."

"Ah ah ah."

The mother complained in a coquettish tone:

"What kind of tone is that? Are you trying to fool me?"

"No." Gong Lingwang sat on the sofa, looked at his mother and smiled, "Speaking of which, Mom, could you lend me some money?"

What do you need the money for?

It's true that adults become much more cautious when money is involved, even if the other party is their own son.

"I'm going out to play tomorrow."

"You already have pocket money, why do you need more?" Gong Ling's mother asked.

Gong Ling's parents give him 5,000 yuan a month as pocket money, which is a lot for his age. This does not include transportation and communication expenses; it is just for daily expenses.

Therefore, Miyamori Nozomi can save one or two thousand every month.

Gong Lingwang stepped forward, embraced his mother's slender waist, and said:

"Hey, it's not like I'll be the only one going out tomorrow."

"Who else?" Gong Ling's mother glanced at him.

"you guess."

She narrowed her eyes slightly, a mocking smile playing on her lips, and said:

"The little knot lamp?"

Miyamine Nozomi neither denied nor confirmed, but simply said with a meaningful expression:

"so......?"

"How much do you want?"

Gong Lingwang gave two thumbs up.

"Two thousand? Go get my wallet." Gongling's mother seemed very generous at this moment.

Gong Ling grew anxious:

"Twenty thousand, not two thousand. Two thousand isn't even enough for my train fare to Osaka!"

"Twenty thousand? Then why are you looking for your dad? And what are you going to Osaka for? Isn't Wakayama City better than Osaka?"

My mother wasn't from Wakayama City; she was born on a small island in the Seto Inland Sea.

"I'm tired of Wakayama, and I just asked my dad for a lot of money." Miyamine Nozomi said, somewhat embarrassed.

His father had given him several hundred thousand yuan, which he used to buy a flute and invest in "stocks." As a result, apart from buying the flute, he made no loss on the rest of the money.

Just then, a sound came from the entrance hall; Gong Ling's father had returned.

"Strange, I saw that the concrete wall outside looked like it had been hit by something? What happened?"

Gong Ling's father asked as he loosened his tie.

"Gongling's homeroom teacher just came over," the mother said.

"What did Gong Ling do?"

"It's nothing, just a small matter between him and the Liu family's child."

"Oh."

Gongling's father didn't care at all and hung his coat on the hanger.

"Your son wants money."

"Mom!" Gong Lingwang gritted his teeth.

"What do you need money for?"

"Going on a date with Xiaojie Deng."

"How much?"

Gong Lingwang was somewhat speechless in front of his father, but still lowered his head and said, "Twenty-two thousand..."

"It's only 20,000, why are you so listless?" Gong Ling's father said dismissively. "I'll give it to you later, take her out to have some fun."

Gong Lingwang was momentarily stunned, a mixture of anticipation and guilt swirling deep within his heart—

"Actually, I went out with another girl."

As if trying to brush off that statement, Miyamune Nozomi took a deep breath.

"Thank you, Dad."

Where should we go for fun?

"Osaka."

"Osaka? Osaka is great, much better than Wakayama."

My father is a native of Wakayama City.

Before long, Miyamine Nozomi received 20,000 yen transferred from her father.

As soon as I picked up my phone, in the blink of an eye, my 20,000 yen balance had vanished to zero.

Gong Lingwang thought he was seeing things and quickly rubbed his eyes, but it was indeed zero.

"......"

Hey, system! Seriously? This is money he borrowed! It's definitely not a bank account!

"What's wrong?" his mother asked, noticing that his eyes looked like they had sand in them.

"N-nothing."

Gong Lingwang raised his hand and rubbed his hair repeatedly. Then he thought to himself, "Can't I make a mistake by 'borrowing' my parents' money?"

At the same time, the parents' money is definitely not included in the category of "savings," otherwise the father would definitely notice if several million were missing.

"Not enough? I'll give you another ten thousand." The father seemed to be in a good mood today, and kept feeding the baby.

"No, no, no, that's too much. Twenty thousand is definitely enough."

Seeing that Gongling Wang quickly refused, Gongling's father was in a good mood, as his son was not the greedy type.

Is it really going to be Shiraishi Hitomi's treat?

Gong Lingwang walked upstairs anxiously, closed the door, and turned on the air conditioner.

I opened my phone and started scrolling through my contacts.

He opened Mizuno Sawamura's chat window and sent her a message—

"Are you there? I need your help urgently."

"What? I'm still at school."

"Lend me 100 yen."

Try a small amount first, and see if it will be cleared out.

A long time passed without any message from Mizuno Sawamura, until her phone rang.

"Gong Ling! Has your account been hacked?!"

"...It's me. You even called me for this 100 yen thing?" Miyamine Nozomi said, annoyed.

"So you can't even come up with a hundred yen?"

"I bought something I really liked, and I used it all up right away."

What is it?

"The 'All-Girls' Happiness Project' is collaborating with 'Earth Online' for a XX Cup, costing 100,000 yen."

"Really? Does such a thing really exist?"

"No, transfer it to me right away."

"Go, go, go."

Mizuno Sōzawa didn't say much, and after hanging up, he transferred 100 yen to him via PayPay.

Gonglin Wang accepted the money, then checked his balance and discovered that this hundred yen was different from the one his father had given him; it had remained and had not disappeared.

As expected! Giving from family members alone is not enough.

Feeling that he had figured out the boundaries of the rules, Gong Lingwang started borrowing money from familiar classmates.

Now that things have come to this, the people I feel most sorry for are my family...

After searching through a lot of resources, I still couldn't find anyone I could lend money to.

Miyamune Nozomi believes she has good relationships with many girls, but ultimately it's all about money, and most of them are unemployed.

Should I ask Yamada Shinobu again? She was quite generous last time when I lent her 1,000 yen to buy drinks...

No, I can't possibly borrow it again; I don't even know when I'll be able to pay her back.

Miyamune Nozomi's finger slid back and forth across the screen, and Kato Ai's profile picture appeared in her field of vision. It was a selfie of her and a Shiba Inu.
