The night was deep and quiet.
Achoo!
Su Qi, lying in bed, suddenly sneezed.
Damn, did I catch a cold?
Nah, it must be Little Iris thinking about him.
Su Qi tugged at his blanket, grinning foolishly at his phone in the dimly lit room.
[Iris: Goodnight, big bro~]
[I Want to Sleep: Goodnight, Little Iris.]
So what if he was grinning like an idiot?
Ever chatted with an innocent high school girl?
You’d be grinning too.
Just as Su Qi was about to prop up his pillow and drift off to sleep—
[Yun Huang] requested to add you as a friend.
Huh?
Yun Huang?
Again at this hour?
Su Qi tapped "Accept."
To his surprise, the first message from the other side was a bombshell: "That woman is investigating you."
Su Qi: ???
Well, no surprise there. Money’s hard to earn, and shit’s hard to swallow.
He’d always known those 10,000+ Shine Points wouldn’t come easy.
[Yun Huang: Don’t worry, I won’t let her disrupt your life.]
[I Want to Sleep: Who said I was worried…]
[I Want to Sleep: So, what’s up?]
[Yun Huang: Is your life an endless wilderness?]
Su Qi: ???
Shouldn’t she be asking him to help get rid of the surveillance instead?
[I Want to Sleep: Dunno about wilderness, but my methods are pretty wild.]
[I Want to Sleep: If you want to shake off the surveillance, there’s a way, but…]
[Yun Huang: Just say it.]
[I Want to Sleep: It’ll cost extra.]
What else could he do? Did she think crafting cards was free?
Let’s put it this way: creating a card from scratch costs 100 Shine Points. But if he could gather the right materials, he could slash that cost to 5, or even lower.
With his measly stash of Shine Points, he had to pinch every penny.
Was he supposed to pay to work?
No way in hell.
[Yun Huang: I can’t transfer funds right now. That woman checks every transaction of mine. At the very least, we can’t appear directly linked.]
[I Want to Sleep: Forget the money for now. First, tell me—do you have the resolve to defy fate? If not, go to sleep.]
[Yun Huang: I don’t. But I want to try.]
[Yun Huang: As long as I don’t hope, I won’t be disappointed.]
[Shine +13]
Holy shit!
Su Qi nearly dropped his phone on his face.
What kind of rich tycoon was this?
A straight-up 13 Shine Points?
Just a second ago, his entire net worth was a pathetic 10 Shine Points.
And this was only the beginning…
Alright, he’d made up his mind.
He and Yun Huang were now in a purely transactional relationship—mutually fulfilling each other’s unspeakable needs.
[I Want to Sleep: It’s Friday early morning now. Come find me at noon on Saturday.]
[Yun Huang: I can’t leave. I have to train.]
[I Want to Sleep: Evening works too.]
[Yun Huang: Doesn’t matter the time. Unless it’s an emergency, I train 20 hours a day.]
Su Qi: ???
Since when could Chinese words be arranged like this?
Last he checked, a day only had 24 hours.
Behind the glamour, there might be nothing but scars…
Honestly, that was just tragic.
Shine Points aside, Su Qi genuinely wanted to help her now.
[I Want to Sleep: No big deal. Nothing can stump me.]
[I Want to Sleep: Let me whip something up. I’ll have Old Jiang deliver it to you tomorrow. On Saturday, I’ll take you to the movies.]
……
"Huang Huang, are you done washing up? You’ve been in there for ten minutes. Too long isn’t good for you."
Yun Huang ignored the woman’s nagging.
She stared at her screen, her thoughts drifting far away.
Old Jiang?
Guardian Jiang?
He could definitely get it to her.
But the one thing she couldn’t figure out was…
How could someone like Su Qi have connections to Guardian Jiang?
Still…
Saturday. Movies.
Since when could Chinese words be arranged like this?
No…
Don’t get your hopes up…
If you don’t hope, you won’t be disappointed.
……
"Knock knock knock!"
Just as Su Qi settled things with Yun Huang, another knock came at his door.
But after last time, he wasn’t dumb enough to raise his hands in surrender again.
"What is it? I’m sleeping."
Come to think of it, had Liu Yuan been interacting with him a bit too much lately?
Of course, Su Qi wasn’t delusional enough to think it was one of life’s top ten misconceptions—that she had a crush on him.
If you asked him, he’d say: Liu Yuan would sooner fall for a dog than for him.
……
Meanwhile, outside the door, Liu Yuan was equally troubled.
She didn’t want to interact with Su Qi this much either.
But the problem was…
[Daily Adventure: For the great villain who interrupted card ascension twice, the wielder holds a deep grudge and is determined to make him pay a heavy price!]
[For example, make him slowly fall in love with the wielder, then brutally dump him?]
[Make the ‘great villain’’s heart skip a beat for you once.]
[Current Great Villain: Su Qi]
[Daily Adventure Reward: Temporary use of Special Passive ① for today, +2 permanent all stats.]
Make Su Qi fall for her?
Ugh, what kind of terrible idea was this stupid card suggesting?
She’d never betray her brother’s trust.
But…
Those two whole stat points…
And the auto-training from Special Passive ①…
After experiencing the efficiency of auto-training, her manual efforts felt like squeezing water from a rock.
Got it!
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
Mustering her courage, she knocked on Su Qi’s door again.
"Su Qi, open up. It’s urgent."
With no choice, Su Qi grumbled as he dragged himself out of bed.
When he opened the door, Liu Yuan stood there in her pajamas.
Her hair cascaded softly over her shoulders, exuding a lazy charm.
The only thing that puzzled Su Qi was—why was she wearing…
Long, slender legs encased in pure white stockings, their sheer fabric faintly revealing the smoothness of her skin.
On her feet were fluffy slippers, each adorned with tiny bunny ears.
Su Qi’s heartbeat stuttered.
Oh, regretful old Su!
If only he’d been wiser back then…
Wait, what the hell was he thinking? Was Little Iris any worse than this brat?
Close call.
Almost lost his composure.
"What do you want?"
"Let me borrow your computer."
