007: "Who let you leave?"
Huaiyan was stunned.
The boy's eyes widened, and he stammered, "Does having a tragic background include being poor?"
073 quickly recalled that when he was going through the original storyline with one person and one system, he didn't seem to have paid attention to the male protagonist Jiang Ze's material conditions.
Because Jiang Ze's childhood experiences were too tragic, and because he already showed signs of psychological distortion at that time, they had no time to care about anything else.
However, it is known that Jiang Ze did not starve to death, and according to 073's observation, the clothes he wore from head to toe were quite expensive.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it."
073 felt something was off, something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. "But would a male protagonist who's just come of age, around your age, have that much money?"
According to the original storyline, the original owner is only about 18 or 19 years old and is still in college.
The male lead, Jiang Ze, can't be that old. If his family is well-off, this amount of money is definitely nothing to him.
“But, but the most likely candidate right now is the male lead…” Huaiyan rubbed the corners of her moist eyes, “It can only be Y.”
Since he is the male lead, he must not be ordinary; at least he cannot be invisible in the live stream.
“That’s true,” 073 said. “Let’s pay off the debt first.”
The debt repayment was scheduled for two days later, at a tenement building.
Huaiyan had seen that tenement building from afar once. There were still many residents in the building, but it was too old.
The tenement building and the current residential building of Huaiyan are not far apart.
Because the houses in this area are very dilapidated, with blackened walls, and you can even see dust flakes falling off the walls as you pass by.
Therefore, most of the residents here are those facing financial difficulties. Not only is the rent cheap, but it is also not far from the city center, so naturally, people are moving here one after another.
Huaiyan has been busy paying off debts these past few days and hasn't been doing any live streams. Plus, the money Y gave him during his last live stream is enough for him to live on for a while.
The repayment period is in the middle of each month, and the platform's live streaming revenue also happens to be withdrawn around the middle of the month. Otherwise, Huaiyan might not have been able to repay this loan.
"Is this...is this the way?"
The boy was wearing a pure white shirt and loose shorts, revealing his fair and shapely calves.
The surrounding area consisted of dilapidated tenement buildings, but you could occasionally hear people talking, so it wasn't too scary.
“It should be this way,” 073 instructed him. “When you get to the agreed place, put the money away and leave. Try not to have any direct contact with them.”
If a fight really breaks out, Huaiyan, with her thin arms and legs, will only get beaten up.
Neighbors may not necessarily come to help.
The boy clutched the corner of his shirt tightly and obediently replied, "...Okay."
The agreed-upon location was on the first floor at a corner, most likely to avoid being seen, as the corner is a blind spot.
Huaiyan, carrying a thick stack of envelopes, stepped onto the first-floor corridor.
All the rooms on each floor of the tenement building are connected by a corridor, so if Huaiyan wants to get to the corner, she has to cross it horizontally.
Despite facing unknown dangers, the boy mustered his courage and walked to the end of the corridor.
Fortunately, there was only one man guarding the place.
The man had a hideous knife scar on his face, which looked particularly frightening.
The other person was leaning against the wall, staring at their phone, the hideous scar right in front of Huaiyan.
In front of the man was a table with a missing leg and a money counter.
Huaiyan walked timidly to the man, lowered her head, and placed the envelope in her hand on the table.
"This...this is the money I need to repay this time." The boy's voice trembled noticeably. "I've...I've put it here."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to leave.
"Stop! Who told you to leave?"
