At first, Lin Shuang thought he was dreaming.
So when the girl's soft and supple body wrapped around him, he didn't reject her but instead pulled her tightly into his embrace.
Lin Shuang bit her lips and started tearing her clothes.
Anyway, it was just a dream, and the worst that could happen was that he would need to change his underwear when he woke up tomorrow.
What boy hasn't had such an experience?
But soon, Lin Shuang realized that this dream was too real.
Too vivid.
The warm and fragrant breath between the girl's lips made his heartbeat accelerate wildly.
She was very proactive, but her movements were incredibly awkward, she didn't even know how to kiss—her tongue didn't move.
Lin Shuang's consciousness finally began to return in large part, he opened his eyes and saw the girl in his arms clearly.
How could it be Tong Yao?
He was reborn!
Lin Shuang fully woke up and fiercely pushed Tong Yao away from his embrace.
The girl called Tong Yao was pushed onto the bed, she covered her chest with her clothes, opened her eyes to look at Lin Shuang in front of her, and then let go of her hands, "Come on."
Her tone was very determined, but the pink on her cheeks, more bashful than fully bloomed cherry blossoms, betrayed her.
Lin Shuang sighed, turned his head to pick up the clothes on the floor and threw them to her, "Put your clothes on."
"…Was I not good enough… after all, it is my first time…" Tong Yao's gentle voice came from behind.
Lin Shuang shook his head, put on his pants, "You go back, Tong Yao, forget about the money."
He took a step to leave, but Tong Yao on the bed leaped at him, grabbing the hem of his clothes, "Don't go… Lin Shuang, give me a chance to repay the debt…"
Lin Shuang's mind was about to explode.
He was reborn, actually reborn at this point.
Although it was more than a decade ago, the events were too vivid, how could he possibly forget.
Both Lin Shuang and Tong Yao were students at Huai City University, and being from the same hometown, they were familiar with each other.
Until one day, Tong Yao's mother suddenly became critically ill, needing urgent money for treatment, and Lin Shuang, an orphan who had saved some of his parents' inheritance, lent her two hundred thousand to cope with the emergency.
But Tong Yao's mother eventually passed away, and Tong Yao came to him, saying she would repay the debt with her body, Lin Shuang couldn't resist the beauty queen's embrace, thinking two hundred thousand could be seen as a wedding gift, he wouldn't let her down, thus they spent a night of passion.
Who would've thought that the next day Tong Yao would jump off a building, it turned out this girl wanted to follow her mother, thinking of the debt she still owed Lin Shuang, having no way to repay, she could only offer herself.
For over a decade, this incident had been buried deep in Lin Shuang's heart, filled with endless regret.
Unexpectedly, he was now reborn, exactly at this moment.
The gentle voice of Tong Yao from behind carefully spoke again, "...Where did I not do well enough."
Lin Shuang picked up her skirt from the floor, and throwing it directly at her face angrily said, "I really didn't expect you to be such a Huai University beauty queen?"
Tong Yao sat on the bed, her watery eyes blankly staring at him, confused, "Huh?"
"Do you think you are worth two hundred thousand? What makes you think so?"
Lin Shuang glanced at the disheveled girl, then turned his head away, swallowing his saliva.
This pear-shaped figure, this breathtaking beauty… he suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and continued, "Our Huai City University is still considered a top-tier university, can you, as the beauty queen, keep some dignity?"
Tong Yao, word by word spoken by him, lowered her head, looking pitifully wronged.
"I didn't…"
From childhood to adulthood, she had hardly ever talked to boys, how could she not keep her dignity...
But now, she planned to leave this world, wanted to repay the debt she owed, and she had always had a fondness for Lin Shuang, that's why she did such a thing.
Lin Shuang couldn't help it and looked at her again.
This girl usually doesn't dress up, always wearing ill-fitting old clothes, yet merely with her face, she topped the school beauty rankings, but you really couldn't tell she had such a nice figure.
Feeling Lin Shuang's gaze, Tong Yao shyly covered her body with her clothes.
"Yo, feeling shy now?"
Lin Shuang turned his back, "Hurry up and get dressed."
This time, the sound of clothes rubbing against the body quickly came from behind him.
Tong Yao got dressed and came to his side, "…I'm sorry."
Her voice was soft, like cherry blossoms that could be blown away by the wind.
It made one can't help but feel pity and want to reach out to catch them, holding them in the palm.
Lin Shuang waved his hand, "Forget about the money, we are classmates, you don't need to repay it like this, go back and calm down."
Tong Yao gently nodded her head and walked out with small steps.
Lin Shuang thought, now, she probably wouldn't jump off the building, right?
Just as this thought surfaced, a dialog box appeared in front of Lin Shuang.
[System trial starts]
[Tonight at eleven, Tong Yao will leap from the top of Mingxing Mountain]
[Successfully prevent it, the system will load successfully]
[Task failure, the system will shut down by itself]
Lin Shuang was shocked!
How did it happen that despite refusing the beauty's repayment, she still wants to jump?
Not jumping off the building but the mountain this time?
And it directly shifted from tomorrow to tonight? What triggered this?
Lin Shuang quickly grabbed Tong Yao who was about to leave.
Tong Yao's slender body trembled, and she cautiously looked at him.
Above her head, there was still a countdown timer, a three hundred minute countdown, from now at six o'clock to eleven o'clock, exactly five hours.
The system is really thoughtful indeed.
"I suddenly feel… the money still needs to be repaid, there's no reason not to repay debts, right, Tong Yao?"
Lin Shuang looked at the countdown above her head ticking down second by second and started to babble.
And Tong Yao, under these circumstances, misunderstood him, thinking that Lin Shuang wanted to continue what was happening just now.
"Then… let's continue then." She was too shy to speak, her face blushing.
Previously, in a moment of fervor, thinking she was about to leave this world, she had taken the initiative.
Now, all that was left was shyness.
Lin Shuang casually picked up a book from the table and slapped her head, "Is your brain full of shivers now, our beauty at school?"
Tong Yao pitifully covered her head, "…I didn't."
She pouted her mouth, "Why did you hit me…"
She was just too cute, making one want to hug her.
So Lin Shuang slapped her gently again—bullying the school beauty felt really great!
"As a student from Huai University and the second top scholar in your major, earning two hundred thousand should be easy for you, right?"
Actually, that would also depend on post-graduation, how could a currently enrolled student earn that money, Lin Shuang just said it to stabilize her for the time being.
Tong Yao was still covering her head with both hands, eagerly looking at him, "Okay, then I'll look for a part-time job tomorrow…"
As her words fell, the countdown above her head changed to over four thousand four hundred minutes.
Around three days' time.
