He used to think that Qin Yu’s fan meter fell because he suddenly had a wife, causing heartbreak of many female fans; or because he abandoned his audience twice not too long ago, making the audience angry. But, he also thought something didn’t feel right. The fall only happened recently, if it was caused by those matters, the gap in timeline is too big!
Qin Yu: “Drop in fan meter?”
Peng Yuhao: “Yes, did you not pay attention to your fan meter? Your fan-meter in Fly Tour network’s homepage has lost forty to fifty thousand!”
Qin Yu: “Oh.”
But the first time they met, Qin Yu told those girls that he did not play games. Also, on several occasions, He Jin was out with Qin Yu when Fire did live broadcast… Furthermore, Qin Yu often sent him text messages while Fire was playing in the game with him. So, from these details, they simply couldn’t be the same person. With this analysis, He Jin quickly dispelled his doubts.
After two laps, Qin Yu suddenly asked, “Are you free this weekend?”
He Jin: “Eh? What’s up?”
Qin Yu: “If you are free, I’ll take you to buy a new racket.”
He Jin: “Oh, yes…”
A while ago Qin Yu mentioned about He Jin’s racket handle being too thick for him, and suggested that he change his racket into a smaller size. Now that He Jin’s tennis practice would soon begin, buying one was necessary.
He Jin asked, “How much does it cost to buy a racket?”
Qin Yu: “There are ordinary and good quality types. Ordinary rackets would only cost about hundreds. But the better-quality ones would cost about two or three thousand, even goes up to three or four thousand each. The Wilson Ni-ne I lent to you before is about 2800 yuan on the market.”
He Jin shocked: “So expensive! Can I just buy an ordinary one?”
“It’s fine if you used an ordinary one from the beginning, but since you used mine before, using an ordinary racket now might leave an uncomfortable feeling on your hand. If you can, I suggest buying the slightly better quality racket, the one costing at least 1000 or so,” Qin Yu paused, then said jokingly, “I heard you get scholarships every year with at least two thousand or three thousand, It should be enough to buy a racket.”
Qin Yu had been trying to gauge He Jin’s financial condition. Looking at his usual lifestyle, his eating and clothing conditions were quite good, so it did not seem likely that he came from a poor family. But then, when the talk about holographic helmet arose in the game, why did he look so worried about money?
He Jin smiled wryly: “Alas, the scholarship money were all given over.”
Qin Yu: “Given over?”
Feeling a little embarrassed, He Jin explained quietly: “Yes ah, all was given to my mother. I have to report to her every year. If I got a scholarship, she also has to know and all the money will have to be given over.”
Qin Yu was surprised: “No way! You are no longer a child, yet your mother still controls you? Or does your family have a bad situation? ”
“No, all of them are working and have steady income,” He Jin touched his nose, feeling a bit shameful, “but my mother has always been like this, controlling everything. I also think it’s very annoying.”
He Jin rarely talked with others about these kind of things, not even with Tong Xuan. He didn’t even dare to tell his mom about his previous relationship with Tong Xuan. Because of that, a lot of expenses he needed had to be taken from his own living expenses, causing many of his needs unsatisfied.
But to Qin Yu, He Jin unknowingly opened up. He also felt weird about it, why did he seem to put so much trust in this brother who he had only met not too-long ago?
He Jin sighed and looked towards the endless night sky: “I really want to understand, I’m financially independent, yet it does not feel like true independence. I may still have to wait until I’m working to spend money freely.”
Qin Yu sneered: “No, you are wrong, your problem is not that.”
He Jin was confused: “Ah?”
Qin Yu: “How can you not be financially independent? Scholarship money is something you earn with your own effort. You said you’ll have to wait until you work to be free, then what if your mother asked for all your wages to be given over? She may say that she is afraid you’ll overspend, or that she is saving them to buy you a house for when you are married, will you still listen to her then? ”

He Jin was thoroughly stunned…
Qin Yu: “When you get married, if your wife is a strong-headed woman, more than likely your money would be in her hand, but if you are both weak, then all of it would be given over to your mother. What home appliances to buy, what car to use, all will be your mother’s decision… You can never have real economic freedom.”
The more he listened, the more He Jin felt scared. Qin Yu didn’t mean to scare him, but he already guessed that the thing He Jin most worried about was the development trend that could happen in his future.
“So, your problem is not that you are not financially independent, but your relationship with your mother.” Qin Yu hit the nail on the head.
