Bai Ye: "What? We're boyfriend and girlfriend. What's mine is yours, why are you making such a big deal out of it?"
Huang Jia said seriously, "At least before we get married, we still need to make a clear distinction. It doesn't matter after marriage, this is a matter of principle! My father taught me this since I was a child: there is no such thing as a free lunch. If it's not yours, don't reach out and take it, otherwise you will definitely pay another price in unseen places."
Bai Ye: "Is our dad really this upright in his actions?"
Huang Jia then told Bai Ye a story.
When she was admitted to university, her family sent her 1500 yuan a month for living expenses. A month later, her father transferred money to her bank card.
First, call her and ask, "Is 1500 yuan enough?"
Huang Jia replied, "That's enough."
The father was relieved and instructed, "Buy whatever you want, don't skimp on yourself."
She listened and remained silent for a long time.
The father found it strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Dad, I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Father: "Tell me what's wrong, and I'll help you analyze it and give you advice."
She said, "My friend and I both receive 1500 yuan a month from our families, but her quality of life is higher than mine. She has a lot of cosmetics, snacks every day, goes to McDonald's once a week, and sometimes even Pizza Hut."
The father calculated that 1500 yuan wouldn't be enough, and hurriedly asked, "Did she go to work? Don't let her go and interfere with your studies!"
"No, she wasn't working; she was dating. She told me once after a date that she didn't actually like the guy, she just liked that he paid for her. A few girls in my class are the same. They laughed at me, saying I was stupid and wasted my face. They said if they had a pretty face like mine that could attract guys, they wouldn't need to ask their families for money; they'd find long-term meal tickets willing to pay for them..."
The father was stunned. He hung up the phone and, without wasting a minute, transferred 2000 yuan to her.
He also wrote to her in a text message: "My dear daughter, starting this month, I will give you 2000 yuan a month for living expenses. You can use the extra 500 yuan to buy cosmetics, snacks, go to McDonald's, Pizza Hut... Remember, you must always pay for your own things. That's what a quality life is all about."

Also, if you like a boy and start dating, please be sure to tell me. I will give you an extra 500 yuan each month as dating expenses.
Please remember to bring your wallet on every date. You're bound to be indebted to others for their help.
My father is a man too, and I understand men best. Men love independent, self-respecting, and dignified women the most.
Bai Ye couldn't help but chuckle: "You had such a dark past?"
Huang Jia rolled her eyes at Bai Ye and said, "I'm just an ordinary woman. When I was young, I was immature and had some flaws such as being too vain. Isn't that normal? Do you think I'm some fairy who fell from the sky and doesn't eat the food of this world? Everyone makes mistakes. No one is perfect all the time. You just need to know that you can correct them."
Bai Ye: "Okay, you're right. I've had similar dark history too. After all, I'm not a morally flawless person."
Huang Jia asked curiously, "Have you ever thought about using your good looks to find a long-term meal ticket?"
Bai Ye: "No, what I mean by 'similar' isn't the kind you're talking about... It's just that when I was young and naive, I resented my parents for not being high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen, making me lose at the starting line compared to those second-generation rich kids. While others were acting recklessly and having flamboyant personalities, I was eating dirt. Later, as I grew older, I realized that my parents hadn't yet looked down on me for being incompetent, a good-for-nothing, or a burden to them. If I were to look down on them now, it would be too beastly. How a person lives their life depends mainly on themselves, whether they can become successful or not!"
"If you have the talent, even if you can't compare to those rich kids, you can still live a comfortable life. If you don't, your parents will at least support you and make sure you don't starve on the streets. Learn to be content, and you'll have everything you need."
“That’s right. Nobody is perfect. It’s perfectly normal to have some embarrassing moments when you’re young.” Huang Jia smiled and leaned on Bai Ye’s shoulder, saying, “As long as we keep improving ourselves, that’s all that matters.”
"I also have to thank your dad for raising such a sensible girlfriend for me."
Bai Ye wrapped his arms around Huang Jia's slender waist, kissed her delicate face, and laughed.
“I’m also very grateful to my father.” Huang Jia said with a smile, her face filled with reminiscence, “Every time I was about to make a mistake, he was able to pull me back from the edge of the cliff. Otherwise, I might not be living the life I am today.”
Soon, Bai Ye and Huang Jia arrived at the building where she lived.
It is an elegant, mid-to-high-end residential community.
Huang Jia had previously told Bai Ye that the total price of the house was about 4.5 million RMB, which is more than 30,000 RMB per square meter. The house is more than 100 square meters in total. It is connected to the subway, has a garden downstairs, and has 24-hour property management. It is very good in all aspects.
With a 30% down payment, that's 135 million RMB. Due to the housing provident fund loan, the monthly payment is 14,000 RMB. Her salary is 20,000 RMB per month, so her parents will definitely have to support a large part of the down payment.
She only has 6000 yuan left in disposable income each month. But she is a girl, and she lives in a big city like Shanghai. Moreover, she has a special job as a flight attendant. This money is only enough to support herself. She can't save any money at all. Fortunately, the benefits and treatment of flight attendants are quite good, so there is no pressure to save money.
"Luckily, I bought it a few years ago, otherwise, with the housing prices soaring, I wouldn't be able to afford it now."
Huang Jia said.
The rate of increase in housing prices clearly far exceeded the mortgage interest rate, so Huang Jia undoubtedly made a fortune from this deal.
"It's all thanks to your dad who was able to help you buy a house!"
Bai Ye smiled.
“That’s true!” Huang Jia said. “My parents are usually very frugal. I only realized this when we bought the house. They were really frugal, not that they were struggling financially.”
Back in the room.
The door was closed.
Bai Ye kissed Huang Jia, pressed her against the door, grabbed her hands, and pressed them against the door.
It's like a little white lamb caught by a big bad wolf.
Huang Jia was clearly a little flustered, but after being passive at first, she began to kiss Bai Ye back.
She wasn't without fear during the plane crash, but she hid it deep inside.
Right now, she's just letting her emotions run wild, wanting to unleash all the negative feelings she's been suppressing.
After the kiss.
Huang Jia took a couple of breaths and said with dissatisfaction, "Bai Ye, aren't you being too impatient?"
Bai Ye stroked Huang Jia's pretty face and said with a smile, "It's because you're so beautiful!"

In the blink of an eye.
The sky was gradually getting dark.
Huang Jia, her face flushed, sat on Bai Ye's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Are you hungry?" Bai Ye kissed Huang Jia on the cheek and smiled, "I'll make you dinner."
"Honey, I'm hungry!"
Huang Jia hugged Bai Ye's neck and shook it, acting coquettishly.
"it is good!"
Bai Ye laughed and placed Huang Jia on the sofa before turning around to cook for her.
Huang Jia jumped behind Bai Ye, put his hands around Bai Ye's neck, and wrapped his legs around Bai Ye's waist.
"I want to watch over you!"
"Row!"
Bai Ye said:
"Then you'd better be careful not to fall."
So, while carrying Huang Jia on his back, Bai Ye opened the refrigerator in Huang Jia's house.
Milk, face masks, chocolate, red wine, apples, grapefruit...
"I can't find any cooking ingredients in your fridge at all!"
Bai Ye glanced at it and said:
"When you're home alone, do you basically not cook much?"
Huang Jia smiled shyly:
"There's a cafeteria in the company, the prices are cheap and the food tastes pretty good. I usually eat at the company cafeteria."
"Occasionally there are unexpected situations, such as going out to dinner with friends, so I just cook some simple food at home."
Bai Ye felt the same way.
How many urban youths today are used to cooking for themselves?
If I hadn't gone down that path of no return, I probably wouldn't know how to cook.
Because cooking is very expensive.
What does cooking for yourself mean? It means you have to make a detour to the farmers market after get off work, and you only have that opportunity if you get off work around 5 or 6 pm. If people who get off work around 7 or 8 pm go to the farmers market, all that's left are rotten leaves. It's almost the same at the supermarket; if you go at 7 or 8 pm, you'll only find the leftovers that others have picked.
What else does it mean? It means that when you get home, you have to process the ingredients: pick the vegetables, marinate the meat, peel some, cut some, and soak some in seasonings. Then you cook rice in the rice cooker, stir-fry vegetables and make soup. Needless to say, one dish, one soup, and one pot of rice—you have to start cooking from the moment you get home, and it takes at least twenty minutes to finish. After that, you finish cooking in five minutes, and then spend another twenty minutes cleaning the kitchen.
Cooking a meal means wasting almost an hour of your time after get off work. This is just for dinner, not including breakfast and lunch the next day. The value of time is far greater than the economic cost, and the mental strain caused by wasting time is enormous.
"Hmm... You only have these two ingredients here, so I'll make you scrambled eggs with tomatoes and tomato and egg soup."
Bai Ye felt that these were the only two home-style dishes he could come up with.
"One dish and one soup is not bad." Huang Jia nodded and said, "But... honey, are you really good at cooking? Please don't make any culinary disasters!"
Just you wait and see!
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow.
Although Huang Jia doesn't seem to cook much on a regular basis, she still has a good selection of seasonings and other ingredients.
Then I started cooking.
Score the tomatoes with a cross, blanch them in boiling water for two minutes to easily peel them, then slice them. Beat the eggs, add a little salt and water, pour into a bowl and stir well.
Add a small amount of oil to the pan and heat it until it boils. Pour in the egg mixture without stirring. Cook over medium-high heat until the egg mixture solidifies and sets. Flip the egg mixture over and cook until set. Remove from the pan.

Heat oil in a wok, add tomatoes and stir-fry over high heat until they release their juices. Add a little water and a teaspoon of sugar, stir well, and then add a little light soy sauce to remove any fishy smell.
Finally, pour in the fried eggs and stir-fry over high heat until well combined. Add salt to taste and chopped green onions for added aroma.
Done. Serve on a plate.
"Wow, this color looks golden yellow!" Huang Jia exclaimed excitedly. "It looks delicious!"
"Want to try some?"
Bai Ye gave Huang Jia a pair of quickshoes.
Huang Jia tasted it, nodded vigorously, and said:
