Oh heavens!
Why hasn’t this hurdle been cleared yet?!
Shen Xingyao didn’t hesitate either. She logged into the game, opened the friends list, clicked on that person, and tapped delete: “I’ll delete them, I’m deleting them right now!”
Even though the intimacy level was built up by the original owner with real money, she didn’t feel any pain deleting it.
But after clicking, it couldn’t be deleted!
A secondary password was required…
“Um, do you know what my secondary password is?” Shen Xingyao tilted her head and asked Pei Yanqiu.
Seriously, it’s just a top-tier V10 account, and there’s a secondary password?!
Pei Yanqiu looked at her with disbelief in his eyes: “Your password, and you’re asking me?”
Forget her password—if he even dared to touch her phone, he’d get scolded.
Shen Xingyao met his distrustful gaze and said helplessly, “I… I forgot the password…”
Look, I know you don’t believe me.
But this, you can believe!
That password was set by the original owner—she really doesn’t know it
What’s with that expression?
I’m not lying, okay?!
Pei Yanqiu pursed his pink lips: “It’s fine if you don’t delete it. Just don’t stay up late anymore; it’s bad for your health.”
Huh?
I want to delete it!
For the first time, Shen Xingyao experienced what it meant to be unable to defend herself no matter how hard she tried.
Her lips were about to turn into sausage lips~
“I’ll delete the password first, and I can change it in three days!” Shen Xingyao tapped her phone a couple of times and got it done.
For now, this was the only way. Once it was changed, she could delete the account.
She just had to wait three days.
Pei Yanqiu watched her finish the operation and said in a flat tone, “I don’t mind, deleting or not doesn’t matter.”
Hmm~~
Doesn’t matter?
Doesn’t matter, yet you can’t even keep the corners of your mouth from curling up!
Shen Xingyao couldn’t be bothered to expose him. She put her phone aside and sprawled on the sofa like a pancake being spread.
This body must have been up for a full day and night. She hadn’t eaten or drunk anything all day and seemed to be struggling a bit.
Pei Yanqiu saw her covering her stomach with her hand and guessed she was starving.
As he walked toward the kitchen, he asked, “Is there any food left at home? I’ll cook for you.”
He had been running between the law firm and the hospital these past few days and really hadn’t had time to take care of her. He felt a bit guilty.
When he entered the kitchen, he was shocked by the scene before him.
The sink was a chaotic mess, filled with food scraps, some of which had already gone moldy, emitting a nauseating smell.
The floor and countertops were covered with takeout boxes, many of which had also gone moldy.
The two pots were covered in grease and hadn’t been cleaned, and one of them even had a hole burned through it.
Pei Yanqiu took a deep breath—almost sending himself to an early grave!
Shen Xingyao sensed a murderous aura in the room and struggled to get up from the sofa, only to see the kitchen looking like a garbage dump!
Seriously, Shen Xingyao, are you a pig?!
Even pigs are cleaner than you!
Pei Yanqiu backed out of the kitchen, held back his anger, and finally spoke: “At least this time, you knew to confine the mess to the kitchen~~”
Alright.
This wasn’t the first time. When Shen Xingyao first moved here, takeout boxes were scattered all over the house.
Now, at least only the kitchen was a garbage dump. Maybe that counted as… progress?
Shen Xingyao: It really wasn’t me who did this~~
Heavens, please distinguish between right and wrong!
Unfortunately, the heavens couldn’t be summoned. She could only painfully shoulder this blame, even hunching her back under the weight of it—didn’t she?!
Pei Yanqiu truly lived up to his reputation as a capable man. He found a mask and gloves, then swiftly and efficiently cleaned up the kitchen.
After the cleanup, the kitchen was spotless—not a single grain of rice remained, and of course, there was no food left either.
He turned around helplessly and said, “Shall we go out to eat?”
Go out to eat?
That sounded great.
But… it required money.
Shen Xingyao patted her empty pockets and forced a smile. “Pei Yanqiu, we’ve run into a small problem…”
Pei Yanqiu looked back. “What problem?”
“Well, if we go out to eat and have to run, can you run fast enough?” Shen Xingyao’s eyes drifted toward the ceiling.
Eating without paying was fine, but if they got caught before escaping, that would be disastrous~~
Pei Yanqiu’s brain short-circuited. “Why would we need to run?”
Were they already that hungry?
If they didn’t run to eat, would they starve to death?
Seeing that he couldn’t figure it out on his own, Shen Xingyao had to spell it out: “Because we have no money to pay for the meal. If we eat without paying and run too slowly, we’ll get beaten up~~”
“No money? Didn’t you still have some?” Pei Yanqiu frowned.
Although they had only been dating for just over a month, aside from the previous transfers of over a hundred thousand yuan, he had also transferred her 100,000 yuan before his account was frozen. Had she spent it all already in such a short time?
Shen Xingyao didn’t know how to explain, because no matter how she explained, it would inevitably involve her using her boyfriend’s money to boost intimacy with her gaming partner.
She really deserved to die!
Seeing her look of self-blame and her reddening eyes, Pei Yanqiu fell silent and didn’t press further.
Forget it—her habit of spending money recklessly without planning wasn’t something new.
It was his fault for getting into trouble and not even being able to afford a meal for his girlfriend.
The two fell into silence, each filled with deep guilt toward the other.
But guilt couldn’t fill their stomachs, and soon both their bellies began to rumble.
And as if competing, one rumbled louder than the other.
“What should we do, Pei Yanqiu~~” Shen Xingyao was on the verge of tears.
The original host was truly cunning—she had deliberately spent all the money, leaving not a single cent for her.
Now, the life she had barely managed to salvage—was it also coming to an end?
Pei Yanqiu sighed, took out his phone, fiddled with it for a moment, and then asked for her payment QR code.
“What?” Shen Xingyao was a bit slow to react.
Pei Yanqiu explained, “I borrowed some money from a friend and transferred it to your account. My account is frozen.”
His bank cards and mobile payments were all unusable now, so he could only transfer the money to Shen Xingyao’s phone.
He just hoped she could restrain herself this time and not spend it carelessly.
After all, it was unclear how long it would take to resolve his situation. He could borrow from friends once or twice, but he couldn’t keep borrowing every other day.
Shen Xingyao’s phone chimed with a payment notification—10,000 yuan had been transferred.
Was that it? Problem solved?
Then why in the original story didn’t Pei Yanqiu borrow from friends? Instead, he spent the whole night gaming for money, and they only ate the next day?
Shen Xingyao didn’t understand, Shen Xingyao was utterly shocked, Shen Xingyao’s stomach rumbled like thunder!
Never mind—she needed to eat first to survive.
The two walked down the old concrete stairs, and the scene below was a lively sight typical of an old residential area.
This was an urban village. While it might lack other things, there were plenty of cheap and filling street snacks.
Pei Yanqiu was about to take her outside to hail a taxi to the city center for a meal, but Shen Xingyao pointed directly at a roadside fried rice stall. “How about fried rice?”
The fried rice was cooked on an iron griddle, glistening with oil and a rich golden hue, its abundant ingredients captivating her heart.
Pei Yanqiu glanced in the direction she pointed and asked doubtfully, “Didn’t you say these were all junk carbs and you wouldn’t eat them?”
