Chapter 80: Welcome to the Freshmen

"Don't you know? I'm a person who only cares about money."

"What if I marry you and then get together with someone else?" Qi Shaoyou looked up at Shen Mingjiao, feeling both annoyed and helpless.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingjiao disregarded the pain in her leg and glared angrily at Qi Shaoyou.

"Don't you love money the most? I will become the richest person in the world!" Shen Mingjiao said, her tone filled with anger.

"In that case, you can only like me! You said you love money the most, you can't betray money, can you!"

By this point, Shen Mingjiao was practically seething with hatred.

Seeing her like this, Qi Shaoyou knew that the princess was probably about to bite someone.

In the past, whenever she made this expression, she would inevitably end up with a few more teeth marks on her body.

"So you can accept that what I love most is money, not you?" Qi Shaoyou said, and then he saw Shen Ming's cheeks puff up in a spoiled manner.

"I can't accept this." Shen Mingjiao hugged herself tightly; the child was already so angry at just hearing those words that she lost her temper.

"If that's the case, then we can't be together. What I love most is money, not you."

Qi Shaoyou felt a wave of emptiness wash over her. She looked at Shen Mingjiao and threw the cotton swabs in her hand into the trash can.

Just as she was about to return the iodine and the remaining cotton swabs to the staff, her coat was grabbed.

"I can accept it!" Shen Mingjiao said, but her eyes clearly showed that she did not accept it.

"One day, one day I will make you realize that I am more worthy of your affection than money!" Shen Mingjiao said this with her usual little pride, her head slightly tilted back.

She was like a proud and confident little peacock, flitting around people and showing herself off to capture their attention.

Qi Shaoyou initially felt a little bittersweet, but seeing Shen Mingjiao's confident and proud demeanor lifted his spirits.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Qi Shaoyou couldn't resist teasing Shen Mingjiao, her eyes filled with the same doting affection she always had.

"Of course, I'm someone who can do everything very well and is very capable!" Shen Mingjiao said this as if she were stating the most correct theory in the world.

“But love isn’t that simple, Jiaojiao.” Qi Shaoyou gently ruffled Shen Mingjiao’s long hair with his free hand.

How wonderful it is that in this world, Jiao Jiao has mothers who truly love her, instead of a father and brothers who are like wolves and tigers...

In that world, every time Shen Mingjiao noticed the dark side of her father and brothers, her face would reveal an indescribable sense of loss.

Fortunately, Shen Mingjiao in this world will be happy forever. Even if this happiness has nothing to do with her, Qi Shaoyou still feels very happy.

In another world, Shen Mingjiao was also proud. But in that world, her pride was always tinged with unease.

Unlike princes, princesses were most worried about their upcoming marriages. Once married, she would have to move out of her home.

Shen Mingjiao's marriage to Qi Shaoyou was not only because she fell in love with him at first sight, but also because she heard rumors that a princess was to be sent to marry a foreign ruler. Shen Mingjiao was unaware that her father and brothers planned to eat her and steal her demonic power; she only thought that she too was to be sent to marry a foreign ruler.

For her, marriage meant being kicked out of her home. But in this world, Shen Mingjiao would never have to worry about such a thing.

"It's not about what I want, what you give me, and then we can be together forever, Jiaojiao."

After Qi Shaoyou finished speaking, he turned around and put the things back. Shen Mingjiao sat on the bench, watching Qi Shaoyou's back and feeling a sense of panic.

"Love should be about mutual liking and needing each other's presence. It's not just about needing something the other person possesses."

After putting his things away, Qi Shaoyou sat down next to Shen Mingjiao. Knowing she was about to leave this world, she wanted to spend a little more time with Shen Mingjiao.

Her voice was gentle and soothing, like a flowing stream. Shen Mingjiao thought it was more beautiful than any musical instrument.

"Don't you like me? I think I do like you. I've never liked someone this much before."

Shen Mingjiao looked somewhat embarrassed; she didn't know how to describe her feelings for him.

Qi Shaoyou was the first person she ever liked, and she had no experience confessing her feelings...

"More than all my favorite movies, more than all my favorite novels, more than all my favorite foods..."

"I like them both even more!" Shen Mingjiao grabbed Qi Shaoyou's hand, her eyes shining like peach blossoms in spring.

"Could you like me a little bit too? Just a little! I think I'm quite likable, so let me try, okay?"

Shen Mingjiao moved closer to Qi Shaoyou, and she spoke very seriously, every word coming from the bottom of her heart.

"Crack." Qi Shaoyou heard the sound of her emotional module shattering, and her long hair turned completely black.

"But I already have someone I like." Qi Shaoyou knew how hurtful these words would be to Shen Mingjiao, but she still said them anyway.

However, refusal had little effect on Shen Mingjiao. She insisted on getting to the bottom of it…

"Are you together? If you're not, would you prefer money?" Shen Mingjiao's words left Qi Shaoyou somewhat speechless.

Upon seeing that the emotion module was unlocked, Chen Ping, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately teleported 0527 out.

"When we get there, you hold his left arm and I'll hold his right arm and snatch him away!" After giving instructions to 0527, Chen Ping rushed out from the corner.

Before Qi Shaoyou could even reply, he saw Chen Ping and 0527 walking over.

It's confirmed, she was tricked.

"We need to talk to Qi Shaoyou about something. We'll return it to you in three months." After Chen Ping finished speaking, she and 0527 lifted Qi Shaoyou up.

"Wait, she hasn't answered my question yet..." Seeing that the two were about to run away, Shen Mingjiao immediately got up to stop them.

"She likes you! Qi Shaoyou likes you! He's always liked you!" Shen Ping decisively used three sentences to freeze Shen Mingjiao in place.

Shen Mingjiao blushed so much she looked like a peach come to life. She sat back down and obediently said, "You must return her to me in three months, okay?"

After she finished speaking, Shen Mingjiao's memories slowly returned. All her memories came back, and she held the phone in her hand, her face gradually turning pale.

Qi Shaoyou, you must survive! And then pay back the debt you owe her!

"What nonsense are you talking about? What if she takes it seriously?" Qi Shaoyou wanted to slap Chen Ping, but she broke free from the two of them.

But the two men moved incredibly fast, already leading her to a secluded corner where there were hardly any people.

With a snap of his fingers at 0527, the three of them arrived in the mission world in the next second.

"Chenping, are you crazy? I won't live much longer. What if she really can't forget me?" Qi Shaoyou felt a headache coming on. She covered her forehead, extremely angry.

"What if I said yes?" Shen Ping smiled calmly at Qi Shaoyou.

"Congratulations, Qi Shaoyou, you have a brand new life. A life where you can love, hate, and live freely."

After hearing what Chen Ping said, 0527 came over and took Qi Shaoyou's hand, saying, "They all told me not to tell you, otherwise you wouldn't be able to survive."

"I'm so reluctant to talk to you," 0527 said, pouting.

Chen Ping sighed. She didn't want to, but 0527's mouth was just too big! way too big!

"Why?" Qi Shaoyou was shocked by the news and looked at the two of them.

"Who made the sacrifice for my survival?" Qi Shaoyou knew that his death was inevitable, so someone must have made some sacrifice.

Shen Ping didn't intend to hide it from Qi Shaoyou; she frankly said, "Many people have sacrificed a lot."

"I've sacrificed my health for the next ten years, and I'm going to be a manager here for a hundred years. But the ones who have truly sacrificed the most are the many people you know."

"Qi Shaoyou, the heroines of every world you've experienced are praying for you. After their lives were rewritten, each of them prayed for you. For this, they were willing to accept many more hardships on their life's journey."

"Day and night, they say the same thing."

"Qi Shaoyou should live."

Speechless, Qi Shaoyou was so deeply shaken that he could not express it.

She never expected anyone to repay her for her efforts...

“Friend, welcome to the new life. You are free.” Chen Ping gently nudged Qi Shaoyou’s shoulder. Qi Shaoyou fell backward, embracing true new life.

However, the second update will be a bit late; it should be around 9 PM. I overestimated my typing speed. [crying emoji]
