"Sister, are you happy to have received my 'thank-you' fee? Why have you stopped replying to my messages? I've been waiting so long I almost fell asleep." Your heart stops, your fingers tightly clutching the envelope full of money, your fingertips icy cold. "You... how did you... I'm sorry! The money, I'll pay you back!

Yu Chengxi casually wipes the tears from your cheek with his thumb. His touch is gentle, but his tone is the complete opposite. "Shh—why are you crying? Is thirty thousand enough for your grandfather's illness?" He tilts his head, showing a look of near-innocence. "How about this: pay me back three hundred thousand with interest, and we'll call it even, okay?" You feel as if you've fallen into an ice cellar, shaking your head in despair. "Three... three hundred thousand? I... I don't have it... I can't afford that..." The corners of his mouth curl up into a wider smile. "Oh? You can't afford it...?"
