Bai Shuangshuang followed local residents to get in Jing City.

After getting in, she saw that the street was already bustling with people at this early hour.

Vendors' cries could be heard everywhere.

Bai Shuangshuang wore a smile. And at the sight of this scene, she gasped for she hadn't met so many people for a long time.

Bai Shuangshuang ran to a jewelry stall, and products placed on it attracted her attention. How stunning!

Right at this time, someone knocked into her, making her frown. She covered the hurt arm and asked, "Who did this? Are you blind?"

"Miss, I'm sorry. Sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." Bai Shuangshuang heard a young voice.

She turned her head and saw an unkempt teenaged boy looking at her in fright and keeping apologizing to her.

Seeing that, Bai Shuangshuang swallowed and answered, "It's fine. Not a big deal. You can leave now."

"Thank you. Thank you." The little boy quickly ran away while speaking, and soon, he disappeared into the crowd.

At the moment, the jewelry stall owner asked, "Young lady, have you spotted any piece of jewelry to your taste? If you have, you can try it on."

"No, thanks," said Bai Shuangshuang who looked back and walked away after shaking her hands to the owner.

Before she went far, a vendor selling sugar-coated haws passed by and hawked his goods at the same time.

Looking at those big red sugar-coated haws he carried, Bai Shuangshuang uncontrollably swallowed.

Then, she stopped the vendor, "Sir, how much is this?"

"Young lady, my sugar-coated haws are all big and sweet. They won't cost you much. 2 copper coins for one stick," The old vendor smiled at Bai Shuangshuang and said.

Bai Shuangshuang nodded and continued, "Alright, I want two."

"Here you are," The old vendor took off two sticks and handed them to Bai Shuangshuang.

She bit one haw off the stick right after taking them over.

"Young lady, does it taste good?" The older vendor looked at Bai Shuangshuang and asked.

Bai Shuangshuang nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it's sweet and rather tasty."

"Well, you bought two sticks, so you should pay me 4 copper coins," The old vendor added with a smile.

Hearing that, Bai Shuangshuang reached down for the wallet she tucked under her waistband. But she didn't find it. The smile on her face froze and then she looked down to look for the wallet again.

Her wallet was gone!

When the old vendor saw that, the smile on his face also faded away. He asked, "Young lady, you don't have money?"

Bai Shuangshuang then searched for the wallet in her sleeve. How could it be? She remembered she tucked her wallet under the waistband. It wouldn't fall to the ground. How come she couldn't find it?

All of a sudden, an idea came to her mind. That little boy knocked into her just now!

Right, that little boy must have stolen her wallet!

"Well, someone stole my wallet..." Bai Shuangshuang looked at the old vendor and explained.

But before she finished, he interrupted her loudly, "Hey, young lady, now that you have no money, why do you come out shopping? I'm just running a small business, but I have to support my whole family. Anyway, you have to pay me now."

"Well... Can I return these haws to you?" Bai Shuangshuang got flustered when hearing that, and she quickly handed the sugar-coated haws to him.

However, the old vendor looked at Bai Shuangshuang and argued, "Come on, you've already eaten one haw. Who will buy it then?"

"How about this? Next time, when I come here again, I will repay you. What do you think?" Bai Shuangshuang looked at the stick of haws she had a bite of and suggested after thinking for a while.

But the vendor insisted, "No way. If I let you go now, I will never find you. You have to find a way to pay me now."

More people gathered, making Bai Shuangshuang more nervous. Such things never happened to her before. What should she do? What should she do?

Bai Shuangshuang looked agitated.

At this time, the old vendor glanced at the jade bracelet she wore and advised, "Or, you can leave your jade bracelet as a pledge. When you repay me, I will return it to you. What do you think?"

Hearing that, Bai Shuangshuang rapidly covered the bracelet, which her mother gave to her. How could she leave it to someone else as a pledge?

But other than the bracelet, she had nothing valuable with her now.

Right at this time, she turned to the old vendor and said, "My mother gave it to me. So please make sure you will keep it safe if I leave it to you. I will go back to bring some money to pay you, and then you give it back to me. Is this all right?"

The old vendor nodded after a moment's hesitation, "I don't want to be hard on you. I agree with your suggestion, but you have to repay me within three days. If you fail to do so, the bracelet will be mine."

Hearing that, Bai Shuangshuang kept knitting her eyebrows and looked at the bracelet.

Although she didn't want to part with it, she had no other choice now. This was the only way.

Then Bai Shuangshuang nodded and slowly took it off from her wrist.

After taking one more look, she was about to hand it to the old vendor.

But then she heard a voice coming from the crowd.

"Wait!"

Bai Shuangshuang turned to where the voice came.

Then she saw a decent young man.

He walked right towards Bai Shuangshuang and then turned to the old vendor to ask, "How much does she owe you?"

"Young Master, she owes me four copper coins," The old vendor answered.

The young man snorted and continued, "You're such a greedy old man. She only owes you four copper coins, but you should ask her to leave this fine jade bracelet to you."

"Young Master, that's not true. She offers to do so, and I agree to give her three days to repay me. You can ask her whether I've lied if you still don't believe me," argued the old vendor who was displeased by what the young man said.

Bai Shuangshuang nodded and said to the young man, "Thank you for your help. But... I indeed offered to give him my bracelet. He didn't force me to do so."

"How about letting me pay him for you? So you don't have to pledge your bracelet then, and you only need to repay me. What do you think?" The young man looked at Bai Shuangshuang and suggested.

Hearing that, Bai Shuangshuang took a few glances at him. They didn't know each other before. Why would he offer to help her?

But pledging the jade bracelet her mother gave her really made her...

At the thought, Bai Shuangshuang quickly put away the bracelet she took off and nodded at the young man. "Well, thank you."

Afterward, he took out four copper coins and handed them to the old vendor.

The latter took them over and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Then he carried his sugar-coated haws and walked away, still hawking his goods.

People who gathered gradually scattered away.

When they all left, Bai Shuangshuang looked up at the young man and said, "Thank you so much. But don't worry. I promise I will repay you."

"It's not a big deal. You can regard this as an opportunity to make a new friend," said the young man who smiled at Bai Shuangshuang.

But Bai Shuangshuang shook her head, "These are not the same things. I borrowed 4 copper coins from you, so I will repay you."

"Such being the case, I'll wait for your repayment. We've talked for a while but I still don't know your name yet," the young man looked at Bai Shuangshuang and asked.

But Bai Shuangshuang lowered her head in her thought.

Seeing that, the young man continued, "Sorry to offend you. It's fine if you don't want to tell me."

"Well... I didn't mean that. My name is Bai Shuangshuang," Bai Shuangshuang quickly shook her head and answered.

She was indeed hesitant about telling him her name. But he didn't look like a villain.

"I see, Miss Bai. You don't live in Jing City?" asked the young man with a smile.

Bai Shuangshuang nodded, looked at him, and asked, "So how should I address you?"

"Please forgive my discourtesy. You can call me Weiyang if you'd like to," the young man raised his eyebrow and replied.

This man was Chushi Weiyang, the Sixth Prince who sneaked out of the palace early in the morning.

When he got close to the street and saw a group of people gathering, the curiosity drove him to have a look. Then he saw Bai Shuangshuang was going to give the vendor her bracelet.

"Weiyang. It's a good and special name," Bai Shuangshuang repeated the name and commented smilingly.

Chushi Weiyang looked at Bai Shuangshuang and asked, "So Miss Bai, what do you come here for?"

"I was going to buy a roast chicken, but I didn't notice that my wallet was stolen. So you knew what happened to me next. I really had bad luck today, and I can't even afford my roast chicken now," Bai Shuangshuang said in disappointment.

But Chushi Weiyang raised his eyebrow again and continued, "If you don't mind, I can also buy you a roast chicken."

"Really?" Bai Shuangshuang looked at him when hearing what he said and asked with a smile.

The latter nodded, "Of course."

"Well... I really appreciate that. But don't worry. I will come back to repay you someday," Bai Shuangshuang added after getting Chushi Weiyang's reply.

Chushi Weiyang shook his head and said, "No need. So which shop do you want to buy the roast chicken from? Do you know where it is?"

"Yes, I do," Bai Shuangshuang nodded.
