The air suddenly froze into ice.

Meng Shen chuckled awkwardly: "...Being your creditor is quite a happy thing."

Yu Wan covered her face; this kind of idiot was definitely not her friend.

"You have to be honest in business. If I don't pay back the money, their company won't be able to operate, they won't be able to pay salaries, and the employees will be the ones who suffer," Tang Yue said earnestly.

"..."

"..."

Yu Wan moved her lips, wanting to mock him for acting like a saint even in his current state of destitution, but looking at his righteous expression, she couldn't utter the words she was about to say.

If she were to speak up, wouldn't it make her seem like she's less virtuous than Tang Yue?

No, no, absolutely not.

A sudden silence fell over the car.

After a while, Meng Shen suddenly asked cautiously, "So how much money do you have left?"

Tang Yue pretended to think about it seriously before answering, "I have five hundred yuan left."

"..."

"..."

Five hundred yuan?

What does that mean?

"It's not even a fraction of what you'd spend on food." Yu Wan raised her beautifully curved chin and chuckled.

"That's enough. Instant noodles are less than five yuan a pack." Tang Yue sighed, frowning as if he was worried about the future. "The only problem is that I don't have enough money for a hotel. By the way, hotels are the kind that cost a hundred yuan. I guess I can last for three or four days."

"..."

"..."

Yu Wan and Meng Shen instantly lost control of their facial expressions.

The once aristocratic and elegant young master from a wealthy family has been completely dethroned from his pedestal in our memories.

They added that Tang Yue was squatting in a dilapidated, dirty, and small inn, slurping a bowl of instant noodles loudly; the scene looked quite bizarre no matter how you looked at it.

Tang Yue smiled slightly: "Even if you've fallen on hard times, I don't blame you."

Just as Yu Wan was about to explode, she heard the other person say, "You are so capable and skillful; I am simply inferior to you. Not only do I not blame you, but I should thank you for making me realize my shortcomings."

Yu Wan thought it was a provocation, but she never expected to receive so much praise. She felt extremely pleased and light as if she were floating on clouds.

Tsk...

This person has good judgment and isn't that difficult to get along with.

Turning her head again, Yu Wan saw Tang Yue's flushed face and felt a strange sense of irritation rise in her heart. She muttered "sycophant" under her breath, then looked up and gave Meng Shen, who was standing there dumbfounded, a sharp look. She kicked the seat in front of her and said, "Drive."

Meng Shen was feeling dizzy and asked hesitantly, "Where to?"

He wanted to slap himself. Everything that had happened today was too surreal. Was this a dream? He could totally become a screenwriter for idol dramas if he could fantasize about such exciting and dramatic plots!

"Go to hell, Hua." Yu Wan said with a fierce expression.

Shih Hua is a high-end private hospital invested in by the Yu family.

A smile flashed quickly in Tang Yue's eyes as he rubbed his index finger with the pad of his thumb, suppressing the restless desire in his heart.

"Thank you," he said with utmost sincerity.

Yu Wan gave a haughty snort: "I'm just afraid you'll die in my car, it's bad luck."

Tang Yue nodded and said, "Yes, I definitely won't misunderstand."

Yu Wan frowned slightly. Something about this sentence sounded strange, but the words together made perfect sense.

"By the way," Tang Yue smiled gently, "don't kick things so easily next time."

Yu Wan crossed her arms, looking defiant: "What's it to you?"

Tang Yue shook his head: "I'm worried about you. You kicked so hard just now, your foot must hurt."

Zzz—

A piercing sound rang out, the car suddenly skidded, and came to an abrupt stop.

Yu Wan lost her balance and bumped her head against the car window. In that split second, a hand suddenly grabbed her shoulder, and she was instantly pulled into a broad, firm embrace, enveloped by a cool breath.

"Knock knock knock..."

There was a sound that was fast and urgent.

It sounded like her heart was beating, or like the sound coming from the chest pressed against her ear.

The change happened in an instant.

Yu Wan stood there, stunned and somewhat at a loss. After a moment, she weakly kicked Tang Yue's leg lightly and said fiercely, "Hey, wake up, stop pretending to be dead."

But the other person didn't react at all; perhaps because of the pain, their brows were tightly furrowed.

Oh no, I've messed up!

Yu Wan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly pulled him back. Just as she straightened him, he swayed and fell down again, which startled her so much that she quickly pulled him back.

This time, Tang Yue collapsed onto her, his head resting heavily on her shoulder.

Yu Wan took a few deep breaths, knowing she was in the wrong, and managed to resist the urge to push him away.

Meng Shen covered her mouth and cried out in alarm, "Yu Xiaoxiaowan, you wouldn't have killed someone...!"

"Shut up." Yu Wan rubbed her throbbing temples. "It's all because of that piece of junk you were driving. What are you waiting for? Let's go to the hospital right now."

Meng Shen shrugged and muttered, "It takes a lot of mental fortitude to be your driver."

-

emergency room.

"39.8 degrees! The patient has such a high fever, why didn't you change his clothes?" The doctor said reproachfully. He put down the thermometer and his fingers quickly typed on the keyboard: "I'll give him an antipyretic injection first. One of you go and buy him some clothes to change into, and the other go and pay the bill."

Yu Wan and Meng Shen blushed with embarrassment after being spoken to, picked up the payment slip, and went out.

The Peaceship, seizing the opportunity, issued a mission: [Host, please purchase an outfit for Tang Yue worth at least 100,000 yuan within one hour. Reward: 10 hours of life points. Go, warm your nemesis's heart with clothes.]

Yu Wan glanced at the upper right corner.

Life Balance: 798:45:32

There's plenty of time.

What's ten hours?

Girls should go for big business!

"I refuse," Yu Wan said crisply and decisively.

[Host, you cannot refuse the tasks issued by the system, otherwise the task will time out and you will lose the corresponding amount of health points.]

"..."

Just then, Meng Shen suggested, "I know his size. I'll drive to the nearby mall right now to buy him clothes. Shi Hua, you're familiar with the situation, so you can arrange the hospitalization and observation."

"bite--"

My phone suddenly rang.

When Meng Shen unlocked his phone, the screen displayed: "A friend transferred money to you."

Yu Wan gritted her teeth: "Just buy one set."

Buy an outfit worth 150,000?

What else could this be but true love!

Meng Shen immediately gave an expression that said, "I understand, I get it, and I'll keep it a secret."

Yu Wan clenched her fists, patted his shoulder, and walked away. What could she say at this moment? She was utterly desperate.
