Things about spending money on games (9)

A clear and distinct voice came from the mouth of the young man who just came down from the building. The figure of the girl not far away was reflected in his amber pupils. "The capital is too far from here. I only know Miss Lin. If she doesn't go there, I won't go there either."

The boy with a slightly pale face put his hand on the dark brown spiral staircase handrail, his slightly pursed lips revealing a hint of stubbornness.

"Ah Lin, didn't I tell you not to run around? Why did you come down again?" Mrs. Gu angrily blamed him and stepped forward to help the seemingly fragile boy over. However, Yan Lin's hand turned slightly and raised to his lips, and he coughed twice. The boy walked downstairs slowly by himself, with a few strands of hair still tightly stuck to his forehead, and the tie on the back of his hand also had obvious traces of being torn off.

Shen Tang stared at him for a moment without saying anything. He turned around and handed the cup of water he had just poured to Yan Lin, "You didn't listen to me again."

The hand holding the cup was gently brushed by the slender knuckles. Yan Lin took the cup and rubbed the remaining warmth on his fingertips. He whispered beside her in a barely audible voice, "I said, wherever you are, I will be there."

Shen Tang didn't feel happy after hearing this, but felt a chill on her back. Her role in the game was just a maid, and nothing good would happen if she got too close to the male protagonist. Although she had the money, it was different to cause trouble actively or passively.

"A-Lin, don't be ridiculous. The entrance threshold to schools in the capital is not low. Besides, this school is Lingyun No. 1 Middle School, where many families are trying their best to get people in. Although the distance is a bit far, you still have to believe that your parents are able to afford your food, clothing, housing and transportation there."

"If you must let me go, can you agree to one condition of mine?" Yan Lin, who did not quarrel with Mrs. Gu, lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while. His long eyelashes drooped, making it impossible to see the expression in his eyes. He exuded a sense of fragility.

Mrs. Gu, who was originally a little angry, remembered that the boy was still weak when she saw the boy's weak posture. He might have been bullied in the welfare home and was afraid of interacting with people of the same age. Otherwise, he would not be so resistant to the issue of admission.

Mrs. Gu, who was dazzled by Yan Lin's innocent and pitiful appearance, could not refuse his request. Filled with the radiance of maternal love, Mrs. Gu quickly agreed to Yan Lin's request, "Lin, just tell me, as long as it's not too much of a request, Mom will still try her best to help you realize it."

"Mom, I want my sister to go with me", Yan Lin's word "Mom" immediately made Mrs. Gu very happy. Although Gu Yan Lin was adopted, who would not be willing to accept the call of "Mom" from this well-behaved and lovely child!

"Xiao Lin, I want to hear your thoughts," the Gu couple looked at her position at the same time. Yan Lin was close to her at this time. Shen Tang clearly felt someone's hand pushing her directly in front of the Gu couple.

Brat! Shen Tang cursed the male lead in her heart and tried to keep a smile on her face, but her eyelids had been twitching several times. In this situation, what could she say? In the game, she was just an ordinary maid who was favored by the Gu couple. If she refused directly, she would be considered ungrateful and lose her only job opportunity.

She took a deep breath, and her gentle expression made it impossible to see the anger under her smile. "It is understandable that Master and Miss feel uncomfortable leaving the place they have been waiting for for a long time. It's okay for me to leave here, but you also know my family background. If I leave, I won't be able to take care of the family affairs."

As he spoke, Shen Tang squeezed out a distressed expression again, "I also know that Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu have a hard time making money. If I go to the capital again, it will only add to the burden..."

Doesn’t Yan Lin like to pretend to be weak? Then she will pretend. Now that she has said so, the Gu couple will not call her over again, right?

Shen Tang sniffed slightly, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She looked worried about the Gu family, which touched Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu had never thought that this girl was so loyal and righteous. After thinking deeply, she looked at her husband and her caring voice floated into Shen Tang's ears.

"Xiao Lin, I know about your family's affairs. If that's the case, you can go with Ah Lin and Rou Rou. I will take care of your family."

Wait, how come it's totally different from what she thought? Shen Tang looked at Mrs. Gu who smiled tenderly at her with some numbness. She didn't see Mrs. Gu suddenly show kindness to anyone during the first mission, so why did she force this "good deed" to her this time?

For others, it might be a blessing for a child from an ordinary family with no money or power to live in the capital. However, for Shen Tang, the person on the mission, he felt that the development of things was getting further and further away from the original path like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.

"Although our family is not as powerful as those big families in the capital, it is not to the point where you cannot afford to live there," Father Gu looked at them happily, "It just so happens that I have an acquaintance in the capital. He happens to have an empty house not far from Lingyun No. 1 Middle School. You can live there when the time comes."

Shen Tang didn't have time to say anything to refuse, and was stunned by the arrangements made by the Gu family. She really wanted to say that she was actually very rich, but the system wouldn't let her.

Yan Lin said nothing, like a fisherman waiting to reap the benefits, watching the scene of Shen Tang being "enthusiastically" invited by the Gu couple to go to the capital, but the corners of his lips unconsciously rose slightly.

So a few days later, Shen Tang was fooled by the Yan couple and stuffed into a car bound for Beijing.

Except for the driver and Gu Rou in the front seat, Shen Tang and Yan Lin sat in the back seat of the car without interfering with each other. Shen Tang turned her head and stared at the scenery passing by the window. She didn't want to say a word to the male protagonist who was making trouble beside her. She wanted to cultivate a well-behaved and sensible male protagonist, not a male protagonist with many tricks, Shen Tang thought angrily, but she didn't know that her expression was reflected on the dark car window, and from Yan Lin's perspective, she could just take in her true expression.

Yan Lin watched Shen Tang through the car window for as long as the car had been driving. His fixed gaze even saw Gu Rou sitting in the front seat clearly, but Shen Tang, the person involved, was unaware and fell asleep while looking at the scenery outside the window.

As they got closer to the capital, the number of vehicles and people around them increased visibly. The car braked several times. Yan Lin said with disgust, "You sleep like a pig," but his body honestly stretched out his arms to hold the fast-sleeping Shen firmly in place.

Only when the vehicle finally came to a slow stop in front of the huge school gate did Yan Lin withdraw his hand.

"Ms. Lin, it's time to get off the bus."

Shen Tang, who was half asleep, vaguely heard someone calling her. Her half-closed eyes were a little misty. She struggled to open her eyes, and the faces that suddenly appeared in front of the curtain frightened her so much that she jumped back on the backrest of the car seat. She turned her head and leaned towards the open door, only then did she realize that she had arrived in front of Lingyun No. 1 Middle School.

"Sister Lin overslept." Gu Rou smiled at her and took Shen Tang's hand before the boy did. "Sister Lin, be careful. I'll help you out."

Shen Tang looked at Gu Rou, who was shorter than him, and said, "Xiao Rou is really well behaved, but I'm not that spoiled."

Shen Tang quickly left the car and looked up at the four golden characters "Lingyun No. 1 Middle School" above his head, and realized that he had come to another stage in the development of the game line. If the male protagonist wants to become a superior person in the game, he still has to get back the identity of the Yan family.

The security guard at the school gate naturally saw the people getting off the car, and quickly left his position. He stopped Gu Rou who was walking into the school with one hand and said seriously, "Please show your identities."

Although the Gu couple did not come, they sent the relevant information to Shen Tang, which qualified her to serve as a "temporary agent".

She held Gu Rou with one hand and pulled her cell phone out of her bag with the other. She waited until the security guard confirmed the electronic credentials on the phone before letting them in, muttering in a low voice, "Are these the Gu family members?"

As Shen Tang stepped into Lingyun No. 1 Middle School, he felt the long-lost campus atmosphere. Youthful faces passed by in front of him, and his mind was immersed in this pleasant environment.

Yan Lin looked at the figure walking in front of him, his brows raised in displeasure. He took the initiative to quicken his pace and walk side by side with Shen Tang, blocking a few malicious glances.

"Don't be so gloomy. You've entered a new school now. This is where you'll study from now on. You should be happy." Shen Tang noticed the low pressure beside him. He withdrew his gaze from the fresh environment and focused it back on Yan Lin.

"Don't talk so much, if you want to leave, leave quickly," the young man rubbed his fine black hair with one hand irritably. The various gazes from the people around him made him feel uncomfortable and he couldn't wait to leave this place.

Gu Rou also had the same feeling. Although she had been stared at by many people before, the gazes from the students in this school made her feel a little suffocated.

"Are they the two who got in through the backdoor?"

"Who knows? Look at their clothes. They are obviously not from Beijing. They are obviously from some third- or fourth-tier city."

"Tsk, how can such a person enter Lingyun No. 1 Middle School? If he is good at studying, it would be fine, but it is really disgusting to think that he came in through the backdoor."

......

The three of them were surrounded by the fragmented conversations. Even Shen Tang, who was not very smart, could sense the xenophobia of this group of students. She did not expect that her krypton gold exchange for two more places in the school would cause these students to be so angry. It was no wonder that the principal asked the hero and heroine to take a test.

"Ignore them, let's go our own way," Shen Tang said softly, turning his head to the side. "When we take the test in a while, the voices of this gang will naturally disappear."

In short, she quickened the pace of the two of them. It didn't matter who she wronged, but if she wronged the male and female protagonists, she would be punished by God.

The figures of the three people quickly disappeared from the sight of the students, but the few people standing by the bulletin board started discussing with interest.

"Boss Yan, what do you think the identity of the new guy is?" Xiao Qi, whose hair was dyed yellow, turned his head to look at his boss, but found that the other party's expression was a little solemn.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Xiao Qi looked at Mo Qian in confusion, "No money, do you know what's going on?"

"Idiot, don't you think the person following the beautiful sister looks familiar?" Mo Qian looked at this stupid guy with hatred and whispered, "This kid better not make Yan Chen mad."

Xiao Qi scratched his head and thought for a long time before he suddenly realized it. He said loudly, "Don't tell me, that man looks a bit like the boss, it's almost..."

After thinking for a while, he finally thought of an adjective to describe it, "It's just like the long-lost brother of the boss!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fist blew heavily in front of Xiao Qi -
