Apology

"Is there anything else?"

Ning Yu turned her head with a puzzled expression, looking at the girl who had called out to her.

"Can I... can I get your contact information, if you can still get more of this medicine...."

Contact information?

There was no phone signal now, and even with power, there was no way to make contact.

However, Ning Yu understood that the girl probably thought she had a way to get more of this medicine.

This stuff was useless to ordinary people, but to patients like her, it was truly priceless, so she wanted to trade with her again in the future.

Seeing the obvious confusion on Ning Yu's face, the girl quickly realized:

"Um... if it's convenient, could you tell me your apartment number, or maybe a place where you regularly appear?"

Ning Yu shook her head upon hearing this. She had no intention of sharing such information with the girl.

"Sorry, I just happened to get one box by chance."

The girl wasn't particularly disappointed by Ning Yu's refusal, as she had somewhat expected this response.

"Well... if you ever have more, I'll be right here, at this time every day!"

"Mm."

Ning Yu responded faintly before turning to leave.

[Ding! Task: Trading medicine with the girl has been completed!]

[Rewards issued: Stamina +1, Points +1000]

Great, no deviation!

This put Ning Yu in a somewhat cheerful mood.

Though she couldn't understand the system's logic for triggering tasks - there were many people here who needed help, but not many tasks were triggered.

Was it based on the urgency of the need?

That man asking for water, the trapped woman, the girl without medicine - without her help, they might have fallen into irreversible situations.

So, did that mean she could repeatedly trigger tasks by putting people in extremely dangerous situations?

Never mind, that would be crossing a line. Ning Yu had no intention of going that far just for attributes.

She'd come back to check on this girl in a couple of weeks when she'd likely be running low on medicine, and see if she could trigger another task.

Not far away, Shen Yiyue was helping her sister pick out gummy candies.

The stall displayed a colorful array of gummies, some shaped like caterpillars, others like hamburgers.

These kinds of candies were typically irresistible to children, and Shen Qianqian was no exception.

However, she seemed to be choosing very carefully, and after a long while, she picked up just a small one and looked at her sister:

"Sister, can I have this one...?"

Shen Yiyue patted her sister's head affectionately and said:

"Pick more."

Having finally reunited with her sister, she knew she could definitely get more exchange tickets with her abilities, so this small expense didn't matter.

Shen Qianqian blinked her eyes, hesitating.

Seeing her sister's reluctance to let her spend money, Shen Yiyue simply started choosing for her, picking out quite a few.

"That'll be 2 exchange tickets, please."

The vendor, a kindly middle-aged woman, quoted the price to Shen Yiyue.

Shen Yiyue didn't hesitate, handed over two exchange tickets, and then stuffed all the candies into Shen Qianqian's arms.

Shen Qianqian was beaming with joy, hugging her newly acquired candies, her little face full of smiles.

The two were about to head back to the entrance to meet up with Ning Yu.

They hadn't gone far when Shen Qianqian was suddenly knocked down by a passing young man.

She fell to the ground, and all her newly bought candies scattered everywhere.

The young man also stumbled, nearly falling, and immediately started cursing:

"Damn it! Watch where you're going!"

Shen Yiyue immediately felt her anger rising - she had clearly seen the young man looking elsewhere while walking when he crashed into Shen Qianqian.

But just as she was about to react, she remembered they had only just arrived here and it would be better not to cause trouble.

She helped her sister up first:

"Qianqian, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, sister."

Shen Qianqian responded very sensibly to her sister, brushing off the dirt from where she had fallen, and started picking up the candies from the ground.

Shen Yiyue just glared at the young man without saying anything.

"What are you looking at? Get lost!"

The young man, seeing it was just a girl with a child, became more aggressive and kicked some of the scattered candies with his foot.

This time Shen Yiyue couldn't hold back anymore and was about to step forward to 'reason' with this guy.

But just as she was about to speak, she suddenly noticed Ning Yu was already standing next to the young man, eyes smiling.

She had already grabbed hold of the young man's clothes.

The young man was about to walk away when he suddenly felt a strong force on his body, and he immediately tripped over his own clothes.

Falling to the ground, he saw a beautiful silver-haired little girl who had appeared out of nowhere, holding his clothes and looking at him.

Though she was smiling, it made him feel a chill run down his spine.

"Hey, when you bump into someone, you should apologize. Didn't your mother teach you that?"

The young man looked at Ning Yu, completely confused about how he had suddenly been pulled down.

Hearing Ning Yu's words, his face immediately darkened, but before he could say anything,

Ning Yu had already gripped his shoulder, and he felt that delicate white hand grip like an iron vise, causing him pain.

"Apologize."

Ning Yu's expression suddenly turned cold as she stared impassively at the young man.

He tried to break free and stand up, but found himself pinned to the ground, unable to move.

The young man looked at the hand on his shoulder with disbelief, sensing something was very wrong.

"Ah... I'm... I'm sorry"

He quickly apologized to Shen Qianqian, realizing he had picked the wrong fight.

"Now go pick up all the candies you kicked."

Ning Yu stopped Shen Qianqian from continuing to pick up the candies, instead addressing the young man in a tone that brooked no refusal.

The young man finally got up from the ground, looking defeated, and hurriedly went to pick up each piece of candy, even wiping them clean with his clothes.

Since all the candies were wrapped, falling on the ground wasn't really an issue.

"Little sister, I'm... I'm really sorry"

He acted like a docile lamb, meekly apologizing to Shen Qianqian again, returning the candies with both hands.

His attitude had completely changed in just ten seconds.

"You can get lost now."

Only then did Ning Yu let him go.

The young man immediately scurried away with his tail between his legs.

Shen Qianqian looked at Ning Yu who had stood up for her, her little eyes sparkling:

"Thank you, Sister Ning Yu!"

Shen Yiyue also looked at Ning Yu with a peculiar expression, feeling that Ning Yu didn't treat Shen Qianqian as an outsider at all.

She had protected her sister without a second thought, which moved her somewhat.

Ning Yu took out a cute mushroom-shaped hair clip from her pocket, which she had just exchanged for with some tickets along the way.

She handed it to Shen Qianqian and said:

"Here, try it on, it's a little gift from sister."

"It's so cute!"

Shen Qianqian immediately forgot about the unpleasant incident when she saw Ning Yu had brought her a gift.

"Do you like it?"

Ning Yu helped Shen Qianqian put it on, clipping it in her hair to hold back a strand of bangs. It suited her well.

"I love it!"

Shen Qianqian was beaming with joy, turning to show her sister.

Shen Yiyue hugged her sister while pretending to complain to Ning Yu:

"Little Yu~ where's my gift?"

Ning Yu just glanced at her:

"You? You don't get one. You're too old to be acting like a child."

"Mean little Yu, you're playing favorites!"
