I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 364: Farewell, Qin Yun

Walking slowly down the street, Qin Yun suddenly glanced at a not-too-distant spot, where a large crowd had gathered—it was a ring toss game.

Qin Yun remembered Xiao Lan once said that she liked ring toss very much.

With this in mind, he looked at the girl beside him and said, "There’s a ring toss game ahead. Why don’t we go take a look?"

Looking ahead, Xiao Lan also seemed to recall something, and with a smile on her face, she said, "Sure."

The two of them walked over.

"Boss, how much is each ring?"

Qin Yun stepped forward and asked.

At this moment, he was wearing glasses and a hat, making it unlikely for others to recognize him immediately.

Being famous comes with such troubles; Qin Yun didn’t like being watched by crowds on the street.

"One yuan per ring, you let it roll on the ground, and if it lands on a target, it counts," the boss said with a smile.

Stickers similar to license plates were spread all over the ground, but smaller than license plates.

The stickers were inscribed with various denominations: 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, 10 yuan... up to 100 yuan.

Additionally, there were toy prizes like teddy bears and puppy toys.

The rings weren’t big, and encircling a target was pretty difficult, requiring the ring to completely encompass the sticker.

"Give me 50 yuan worth," Qin Yun said.

Upon hearing this, the boss looked delighted and quickly handed over fifty rings.

"Xiao Lan, here’s a ring for you," Qin Yun said with a smile.

Xiao Lan looked quite interested, tossed a ring but obviously lacked skill, as she missed several times in a row.

When she threw the fifth one, she unexpectedly hit a 20-yuan sticker with sheer luck.

"Wow, I got one!"

"And it’s a big amount!"

Seeing the 20-yuan sticker being hit, some people around exclaimed in surprise.

With rings costing only one yuan, it was clear this game was hard, and the boss surely wouldn’t lose money.

Seeing she hit 20 yuan, Xiao Lan smiled and said, "Boss, I scored, right?"

The boss glanced at it and smiled, saying, "Our rule is that the ring has to roll on the ground, and once it stops and encircles the target, then it counts. So yours doesn’t count."

"Boss, are you just trying to avoid paying up?"

"Isn’t that too unfair? It doesn’t count even though it hit?"

As soon as the boss spoke, some people in the crowd voiced their dissatisfaction.

Xiao Lan was obviously a bit displeased. She looked at Qin Yun and said, "Qin Yun, avenge me."

She knew Qin Yun’s skills very well.

"No problem."

Qin Yun nodded with a smile, took the ring, and directly tossed it.

This time the ring rolled for three seconds, then collapsed, just on top of a 100-yuan sticker!

"Wow, he just hit a 100 yuan one!"

"This guy’s luck is amazing!"

Everyone exclaimed immediately.

"Boss, does this one count?"

Qin Yun asked with a smile. The boss’s smile looked forced, but he nodded, saying, "It counts."

His heart ached; Qin Yun bought 50 yuan worth of rings and now had already snagged a hundred.

Afterward, Qin Yun continued tossing rings.

yuan, 20 yuan, teddy bear toys, and so on, Qin Yun kept hitting targets, only missing once.

His luck was extraordinary; hitting targets was a breeze.

"Wow, this guy’s incredible!"

"A pro! Absolute pro!"

"We’re here to give money, and he’s here to make stock."

As more stickers were hit, everyone exclaimed.

"Qin Yun, hit that 50 yuan!"

"Qin Yun, hit that rabbit toy!"

Xiao Lan was full of excitement, just like a year ago.

Halfway through the rings, Qin Yun had already hit 500 yuan and seven toys.

By this time, the boss couldn’t hide his unpleasant expression, stepping forward, he said, "Buddy, stop playing. We all need to make a living. I’ll give you 100 yuan, and you give me the remaining rings."

If Qin Yun kept going, the boss’s high-value prizes and toys would be wiped out.

"Haha, boss, can’t handle it?"

"Buying rings, seeing a pro, and now stopping him, we’d never dare to buy?"

As soon as the boss spoke, the crowd teased him.

Seeing Xiao Lan’s excited look, Qin Yun ignored the boss and kept on tossing until all fifty rings were used.

In total, he hit over 700 yuan and nineteen toys.

"Qin Yun, let’s sell these toys," Xiao Lan said with a giggle, looking quite interested.

"Alright." Qin Yun nodded with a smile.

One sold, the other collected money, setting up a stall on the spot, quickly selling all the toys.

Finally, the excitement on Xiao Lan’s face slowly faded, returning to her usual calm expression.

"Alright, Qin Yun, I’m heading back," she said with a smile.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Qin Yun said, "I’ll walk you back."

Hearing his offer, Xiao Lan thought for a moment and didn’t refuse, replying, "Alright."

"Qin Yun, it’s been a long time since we took a stroll like this," Xiao Lan said with a giggle, "Our Boss Qin is getting more capable."

Being teased by Xiao Lan, Qin Yun didn’t know what to say.

Xiao Lan didn’t dwell on it, quickly shifting to other topics, speaking about some previous happenings.

"I passed my College English Test Level 6, Xiaoya was twenty-some points short last time, she was so upset," she said with a laugh.

Hearing this, Qin Yun replied, "I haven’t even passed Level 4."

The two chatted continuously; after such a long time apart, they seemed to have so much to say.

Unknowingly, they arrived at Xiao Lan’s place. Once there, they suddenly fell silent.

"Qin Yun, you can go back now; I’m going up," Xiao Lan said softly.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Qin Yun felt a hint of reluctance in his heart and suddenly said, "Xiao Lan, could you not go?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lan smiled and asked, "Why don’t you want me to go? Do you still like me?"

Without hesitation, Qin Yun nodded and said, "I do."

Hearing his words, Xiao Lan was slightly taken aback and then asked, "Do you like Yu Leyao too?"

She looked into Qin Yun’s eyes, waiting for his answer.

At this moment, Qin Yun didn’t know how to respond.

Seeing his lack of response, Xiao Lan giggled and said, "Qin Yun, you like me and Yu Leyao too, do you want two girlfriends? You’re too greedy."

She waved her hand and said with a smile, "Qin Yun, I really have to go up now."

She took a serious look at the young man in front of her, as if trying to remember his face, then turned and left.

...

When she got to her place, Xiao Lan’s room was mostly packed up.

She went to the desk where there was a diary placed.

Opening it, Xiao Lan flipped to the latest page.

"Today, I went ring tossing with Qin Yun. I had so much fun. Saying goodbye on the last day like this isn’t bad. After all, I always wanted to play this with him again..."

She wrote word by word.

After finishing, she carefully closed the notebook and placed it in the drawer.

Inside there was also a small toy.

Xiao Lan took it out to have a look. The toy was a small Winnie the Pooh, which Qin Yun gave her after their ring toss game a year ago.

After looking at it for a while, Xiao Lan finally placed the Winnie the Pooh beside the diary.

She closed the drawer, picked up her suitcase, and stood for a long time by the door...

She went to the airport alone, queued with everyone else, went through the security checks, and boarded the plane.

The plane took off, and Xiao Lan sat by the window. Through the airplane window, she could see the city below getting smaller and smaller.

Her gaze turned to a certain place—the direction of Jiangyuan University. Gradually, that university got further and further away until it couldn’t be seen at all.

Silently watching the scene outside the window, Xiao Lan held a Winnie the Pooh in her hand; she eventually took it from the drawer to bring it along.

"Goodbye, Qin Yun," she whispered in her heart while holding the Winnie the Pooh.

On September 4, 2023, Xiao Lan left Jinling alone, without saying goodbye, quietly and unnoticed.
