I don't want to be a doctor either.

Just as Jingyu sighed, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open. Jingyu turned his head sharply and found that his parents were looking at him in confusion.

"Xiao Yu, are you short of money recently?" Mom and Dad asked with concern, leaning against the door.

"Uh...no...no." Jingyu said stubbornly.

Jingyu's parents looked at each other and nodded to each other.

"You're lying. You'll smile like this whenever you lie." Wang Shoulan said with narrowed eyes.

"He also touches the back of the head." Jing Zhiting added.

Jing Yu instinctively put away his smile and put down his hand, but he realized it was too late. Damn, no one knows a child better than his parents. The ancients were not wrong...

"Yes, I'm short of money..." Jingyu said dejectedly. His parents had guessed it and there was no way to hide it.

"How much is missing?" Jing Zhiting asked.

"Not much, Mom and Dad, don't worry about it, I will take care of it."

"You borrowed money from a loan shark?"

"No, absolutely not!" Jing Yu shook his head decisively.

“Have you been gambling online?”

"nor."

"You lost money on your investment? You lost money on stock trading? You got scammed? You... uh, that's unlikely..."

Jingyu's parents kept asking questions.

"No, nothing at all! Stop asking..." Jing Yu was a little annoyed by the questions and shouted angrily,

Damn it, what do my parents think of me? Am I that stupid? Am I such a spendthrift?

With my financial intelligence, how could I dare to invest and trade stocks... It's possible that I would be defrauded of a few thousand dollars... Well, in short, that wouldn't happen at all!

However, Jing Zhiting and Wang Shoulan seemed addicted to teasing and kept asking questions, leaving Jing Yu helpless and furious.

After a while, Jing Zhiting smiled and said, "So if you don't tell us, we will keep asking. You have to understand us. We are really afraid that you will go astray!"

……

"I confess, I confess, isn't that okay?" Jing Yu was helpless at this moment. He knew that his parents were just provoking him, but what could he do? He couldn't just kick his parents out.

So Jingyu could only honestly tell the truth that he wanted to buy an elf but didn't have enough money.

Mom and Dad's faces froze and they looked at each other again.

"How much do you want?" Jing Zhiting asked.

"I want... I want five... five hundred thousand..." Jing Yu said with some difficulty.

After listening to this, the parents were silent for a while. Jing Zhiting spoke first: "Mother, how much money do we have left? Give it all to the child."

"Hey." Wang Shoulan stood up and went to get the passbook.

Jingyu was surprised that his parents gave him the money without asking any questions. He stuttered, "Mom and Dad, don't you ask me why I want to buy this? And that... that's five hundred thousand!"

"Oh, don't I know about you?" Jing Zhiting said with a forced smile.

At this time, Wang Shoulan turned around and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Yu, your parents were sorry for what happened back then. Our family is poor and can't afford the treatment..." At the end, the mother's voice had changed. She lowered her head, and her shoulders kept rising and falling.

Jing Zhiting's eyes were moist at this time. He quickly walked to Wang Shoulan and comforted her: "Alas, mother, since the child wants to buy a new elf, it means that he has finally figured it out. You should be happy, happy..."

Jingyu finally understood what Liu Xiaocai had told him. Parallel Jingyu had an elf in the past, but it eventually died. According to his parents, it died because the family had no money for medical treatment. And Parallel Jingyu... has been suffering because of this incident?

This may be the most serious topic in this family, right?

Jingyu looked at his parents in front of him and frowned. He suddenly understood what Ge Yang wanted to say when he didn't finish his words.

"After all, you care so much about elves. You have been heartbroken for more than ten years because of the death of your own elf."

Jingyu couldn't understand it. After all, that was the pain experienced by the parallel Jingyu. Although he liked elves very much, it was actually the same as liking cats and dogs. It was just that Jingyu was born to like animals more than normal people, but that was all.

If it were me, would I have suffered for so many years?

Not sure. They grew up in different environments, and elves are really different from cats and dogs. After coming to this world for a while, Jingyu has a basic understanding of elves. They are smart, but also very simple. You can get along with them like friends or even relatives, but they will never betray or hurt you.

Maybe after spending time with them, I will really treat them as family members like Ping Ting Jingyu or Ge Yang, blame myself for their injuries, and feel heartbroken for their deaths.

But that is just an if after all, something Jingyu has never experienced, so he doesn't have to be sad about it, it is his luck.

Moreover, since the parallel Jingyu is no longer here, I will do something for him. Thinking of this, Jingyu said happily: "Mom and Dad, it's okay. I have completely walked out of it and never blamed you. This is the fate of that child. His life is bitter in this life, but he will definitely be happy in the next life. Let the past disappear into thin air. Let's not be sad, be happy."

Jing Zhiting and Wang Shoulan smiled with relief after hearing Jing Yu's words.

This smile also solved a knot in their hearts that had existed for many years.

After a while, Wang Shoulan handed the passbook to Jingyu: "There are 37 yuan in it. We are saving it to help you get married. But now you are from a good school and have a good job. You should have a bright future. So I will give it all to you. There are still hundreds of thousands of yuan. Your father and I will borrow some from relatives and friends. You have to pay back the rest."

"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Jing Yu took the passbook solemnly, and then continued: "All the money is borrowed from you two, I will pay you back."

“Here we go again…” Jing Zhiting rolled his eyes and said angrily, “Our money is your money. It doesn’t matter whether we lend it or not. When your parents are gone, everything in the house will belong to you and your brother!”

“Here we go again…” Jingyu rolled his eyes helplessly.

After chatting with his parents, Jingyu returned to the bedroom with the passbook. He immediately sent a message to Liu Xiaocai: "I have already solved the money issue! There is no need to trouble you to use your dowry, haha."

Soon Liu Xiaocai replied: "That's good, I have also fulfilled my wish. I will lend you the money. You don't have to be polite. Raising elves is also very expensive."

"That won't work. Don't you also want to take care of your 'Duoduo'?"

"Duoduo is fine. Duoduo is actually an employee of my flower shop. As a grass-type elf, she is of great help to flowers and plants. To be frank, she can support herself. Haha, maybe she earns more than you."

Liu Xiaocai insisted on lending Jingyu money, which touched him very much. Xiaocai was a really nice girl, a good brother... no, a good friend.

"Then just lend me a few thousand. I have some savings myself, and it should be enough for me to raise Charmander for a long time." Jing Yu thought of a compromise.

"Yeah, okay."

The two chatted briefly, said good night to each other, and Jingyu prepared to go to bed.
