Chapter 77 Please.
"Then you should think of a solution. If all else fails... I think YB's CEO would be happy to spend the money for you."
"Don't go looking for him!" Lin Shuang shouted hoarsely, "This has nothing to do with him!"
"Hahaha..." Hearing the roar on the other end of the phone, the man suddenly laughed, "But you have to give the person who admires you a chance to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, right? What do you think? Only if he saves you can there be a chance for things to develop further. Shuangshuang, if you don't understand anything about dating, I can teach you."
Exhausted, Lin Shuang slumped against the headboard with a thud, her shoulder blade hitting a hard surface, yet she felt nothing.
She lowered her eyes, her face ashen, and her voice weak: "Send me your bank card number."
"That's right. See, if you had agreed earlier, we wouldn't have had to say so much."
"This is the last time," Lin Shuang said bitterly.
She knew that wasn't true.
"Mmm, mmm," the man coaxed, "Just this last time, just this last time. Thank you, Shuangshuang, for saving me."
"beep--"

The next day.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Jiang Luo reached for her phone.
Let's go on an adventure with Yan Zihe!
Just as she was about to click on "Love in the Apocalypse," she suddenly noticed an unread message on WeChat.
It's Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang: [Luo Luo, let's have lunch together.]
Sent at 03:49.
Lin Shuang actually messaged her so late!
She: [Okay, what time?]
Lin Shuang replied immediately: [11 o'clock.]
Then, she sent me a restaurant address and a private room number.
Is San Dian Online still online?
Does Lin Shuang not need to sleep? Does she cultivate immortality?
Jiang Luo felt something was wrong: "Has something happened?"
Lin Shuang did not reply.
That's so strange.
Jiang Luo's heart was filled with worry for Lin Shuang.
Forget about playing games, she jumped up and quickly washed and changed.
I left home at 9:20.
Going to the restaurant at this time is far too early.
But she couldn't calm down and wait any longer.
A woman's intuition told her that something must have happened to Lin Shuang.
-
10 o'clock.
The He family home, living room.
He Ziyan held the book and absentmindedly flipped through a few pages.
After getting up, he ate breakfast, read for half an hour in the living room, and then lay in bed for an hour waiting for Jiang Luo's summons.
However, Luo Luo has not been online.
Did Luo Luo oversleep?
I didn't go to bed too late last night.
Before, when Luo Luo went to bed around 10 PM, she would go online very early in the morning.
He Ziyan placed the book on the coffee table, stood up, and paced back and forth in the living room.
What did Luo Luo go to do?
Finally, he stopped on the fifth lap.
He bent down, picked up the phone next to the book, and dialed Ji Bei's number.
"Hello?" Ji Bei is always there.
After a pause, He Ziyan braced himself for being ridiculed, and asked, "Do you have Jiang Luo's WeChat?"
“Me?” Ji Bei repeated incredulously.
There was a two-second pause.
Immediately, a burst of laughter erupted: "You still haven't added her on WeChat? Dude, are you in elementary school?"
He Ziyan felt utterly hopeless.
He knew it.
Ji Bei would not miss any opportunity to mock him.
That's what brothers are all about.
"Please." He Ziyan pleaded, forcing himself to be polite.
Ji Bei raised his voice: "If you don't have it, how could I have it?"
He Ziyan: "Oh." You should have said so earlier.
"Let me ask you for it." After the initial mockery, Ji Bei still wanted to help his brother, so he generously took on the task. "Lin Shuang will definitely have some; I'll ask her for it!"
Thank you.

Guanlan Restaurant, Room 108.
Guided by the waiter, Jiang Luo pushed open the door and went inside.
The interior is quiet and similar to the decor of a teahouse, but with a greater emphasis on privacy. Apart from the window, there is only one door, unlike the sparse layout of a teahouse.
It was just 9:40, an hour and twenty minutes before their agreed time. Jiang Luo thought she would arrive first, but to her surprise, Lin Shuang was already sitting in the private room.
Facing the door, Lin Shuang held her forehead, closed her eyes, and looked exhausted, as if she had stayed up for several nights in a row. She didn't even notice Jiang Luo coming in.
The waiter nodded to Jiang Luo and then left.
Standing at the doorway, Jiang Luo called softly, "Lin Shuang?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Shuang finally raised her face.
She wasn't wearing makeup!
It's worth noting that Lin Shuang is always impeccably dressed, with her makeup and accessories being impeccable.
In Jiang Luo's memory, this was the first time she had seen Lin Shuang without makeup.
Compared to her usual sharp and heavy makeup, her natural features are more youthful, fair, and innocent.
His face was deathly pale, his dark circles were obvious, and his eye bags were almost touching the ground. He looked like he was about to collapse from exhaustion.
"I'm here," Lin Shuang said in a hoarse voice.
This is really not right.
Skipping the pleasantries, Jiang Luo went straight over, pulled out the chair next to Lin Shuang, sat down directly opposite her, and asked bluntly, "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Shuang's eyes froze.
After a two-second eye contact, she said softly, "I... just wanted to have a meal with you."
They continued to look at each other.
Jiang Luo stared intently at Lin Shuang.
She must have encountered some difficulties.
But what difficulties will she encounter?
Lin Shuang didn't say anything, but instead poured Jiang Luo a cup of tea, her expression calm and composed.
Well, Jiang Luo was at a loss.
She didn't want to talk about it, and Jiang Luo didn't press her further.
Jiang Luo picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip to moisten her throat.
Having calmed down, she said sincerely, "If you need any help, just let me know. I'm always here for you."
Everyone encounters difficulties; what's truly frightening is not the difficulties themselves, but the feeling of being isolated and helpless.
Jiang Luo wanted Lin Shuang to know that she was not alone and helpless.
With her hands clasped on the table, Lin Shuang remained silent for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said dejectedly, "I... do have something I'd like to ask you."
"What?"
Lin Shuang didn't look at her, staring blankly at the table. "Could you postpone the payment of your first-phase endorsement fee by two days?"
Endorsement fee?
Ah, so it's an economic issue.
Jiang Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to other more difficult problems, the money issue is actually easier to solve.
She readily agreed, "I'll go tell Brother Lin!"
She reassured him further, "Brother Lin will definitely agree. You've helped us so much before. He always told me that when I become successful, I must make SL an international brand!"
Lin Shuang smiled.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Luo said, "Do you need to borrow money? Although I don't have much money, I can lend you some."
When Jiang Luo was still unknown, Lin Shuang would lend her dresses. Even when Jiang Luo was being slandered, Lin Shuang did not distance herself from her and continued to support her.
They appreciated and admired each other.
"I've received so much kindness from you before, it's time for me to help you now," Jiang Luo said, blinking.
“I…” Lin Shuang paused, then shook her head, “If I need it, I’ll borrow it from you again.”
Seeing that Lin Shuang was no longer downcast, Jiang Luo pressed her advantage and asked, "Why are you suddenly short of money? Is it because of Still Love?"
Lin Shuang didn't respond, but simply thanked her, saying, "Luo Luo, thank you."
Suddenly thanked, Jiang Luo blushed and lowered her head to fiddle with the tableware, fiddling with it bit by bit, and whispered, "We're friends, and friends should help each other."
