I Really Do Love Money

"You can mess with me, you can mess with my body, but don't mess with my money."

"I'm twenty-four. Is there something wrong with liking money?"

·

Xing Ye kept a canary, but damn, this bird was way too noisy.

"Boss, give me money. Boss, look at me. Boss, I'm hungry. Boss, give me money. Give me money, give me money, I've spent it all again."

·

Chi Hui debuted at eighteen. Now he's twenty-four.

Xing Ye has kept him for six years.

"Boss, you're really not going to do anything to me? I feel kind of bad taking all this money."

Xing Ye: "If you don't want it, give it back."

Chi Hui: "Great! What a sucker!"

Xing Ye likes giving him money. He likes watching Chi Hui's eyes sparkle when he gets it.

Even though the noisy canary really only cares about money.

·

Xing Ye used money to keep him by his side for six years, until the company was on the verge of collapse and bankruptcy.

He scraped together one last sum and tossed it to Chi Hui. "Go."

Chi Hui blinks his rabbit-like eyes. "...So you'll be out of money now. Really? How did it come to this...?"

Xing Ye smiles bitterly, unwilling to look at the disappointment on Chi Hui's face.

Chi Hui: "Then wait for me..."

·

That day, Xing Ye watched as Chi Hui made twenty-eight trips with a battered backpack.

He carried stack after stack of gold bars and set them down in front of him.

Chi Hui's eyes were red, and he looked on the verge of tears. "Is this enough for you to make a comeback?"

Xing Ye: ? There might still be time to turn himself in.

·

Chi Hui put the money in front of his boss, then burst into tears.

Xing Ye was so moved he almost confessed, but then he heard the noisy canary say:

"Boss, waah! I saved this for six years, so you have to remember to pay me back! You have to make a comeback. It's hard to find another sucker like you, waah! Hic!"
