Xia Ningxing spoke, her voice soft and laced with a hint of the frailty of illness, "Brothers, do you know who saved me yesterday?"
The reason the original owner of the body had fallen unconscious was due to her catching crayfish by the river with a group of kids. She had caught a big one, and when a girl wanted it and she refused to give it up, she was pushed into the river by that girl.
After falling into the water, the kids were all terrified and ran away, leaving a passerby to save her in the end.
But since the original owner's body had already cooled, she had no memory of the rescuer's face.
The person saved her life, after all, she ought to offer thanks.
The brothers chimed in unison, "It was Lu Tingli, the brother from the family next door..."
"Oh... Eh! Wait a minute! Who did you say?!" Xia Ningxing initially took no notice, but then suddenly realized something.
"Lu Tingli ah..."
Xia Ningxing's apricot eyes widened in disbelief.
Fuck!!!
She should be aware that Lu Tingli was the novel male lead she most wanted to marry!
Upon further thinking, the year 1990, Peach Blossom Village... this was clearly the background described in "The Path to Becoming the Male Lead's Top Tycoon"!
So?
She not only had traversed to another time but also into this novel?!
This was a novel for male readers, written from the male protagonist's perspective, without a female lead. It narrated how the male lead rose from being a poor village boy to become the world's richest tycoon. It was just that at thirty years old, he was diagnosed with an incurable disease and passed away, leaving behind a massive inheritance with no one to claim it.
And Lu Tingli was the tragically early-deceased male lead in this book!
In fact, the reason for such an ending was that the author felt he was too exceptional and that no one could match up to him, so he just decided to let him die!
That's simply morbid...
And she, Xia Ningxing, was probably just a passerby, someone whose name never even appeared in the book.
It's also quite tragic. While others who transmigrate into a book at least become cannon fodder or a wicked supporting female, she... doesn't even have the qualifications to appear in the story!
Tears!
However, none of that matters. What's most important is that huge inheritance!
Billions of dollars!!!
Knowing that the male lead was always generous with brothers and friends, so long as they had a tight relationship, would she have to worry about not getting a share of the inheritance in the future?
When she read the novel before, Xia Ningxing often thought how great it would be if she could become good friends with the male lead. With such a tycoon to rely on, would she ever need to exert effort in this life?
Now that an opportunity lay before her, Xia Ningxing immediately threw off the covers and scurried outside.
She had decided. This lifetime, she didn't want to do anything but build a good relationship with the tycoon and live like a salted fish!
"Sister, where are you going?" Seeing her action, the five brothers hurriedly came over to ask with concern.
"To embrace the tycoon!"
Xia Ningxing exclaimed excitedly.
Embrace the tycoon?
What tycoon are you talking about?
Are you sure your brain hasn't been fried?
The five brothers were a whirlwind of confusion.
Meanwhile, Xia Ningxing, with her short little legs, ran all the way to the house next door and saw Lu Tingli, the male lead character, drawing water in the courtyard.
It must be said, the male lead is indeed the male lead!
Even though he is only in his early teens, with a youthful face, wearing a wrinkled white shirt and faded black pants, his presence is still aristocratic.
Just look at those serene and handsome features, carved with expertise, with sharp contours, jade-like skin, and eyes shining with the brilliance of stars, a high nose bridge, pale thin lips.
Even the world's greatest painter couldn't capture such a youth.
Of course, looks aren't really important. What's important is!
He!
Is the future world's richest tycoon!
A titan in the business world!
A freak in the financial sector!
A genius in the world of scientific research!
A big shot in the internet industry!
He holds the global economic lifeline!
Confronted with such a future legendary tycoon, Xia Ningxing could only feel her legs trembling with excitement, her eyes shimmering with teary brilliance, almost fainting.
Before one knew it, Xia Ningxing had already run up and shamelessly hugged the future tycoon's legs, with her babyish voice she said, "Lu, thank you for saving me yesterday."
Lu Tingli's action of carrying water paused as he looked down at the child beside his leg, only then noticing the little one in the yard.
"Hmm?"
He was initially bemused, seeming to have no recollection of who the child was, then he remembered the neighbor's kid who had inadvertently been saved by him in the pond the day he was reborn.
"You're welcome." His voice was cold and indifferent as it issued from his throat, a maturity in his gaze that made him appear far older than a child of his age.
Xia Ningxing had to look up to meet his gaze, her eyes slyly bright, "Life is more precious than anything else, how can I not be grateful?"
???
Lu Tingli frowned, "So what do you want to do?"
