Hahaha, Si Yiheng nailed it.
Shuyu poked the throw pillow with her slender white fingers, complaining in a low voice, "Iron Egg, Si Yiheng is really a bit too smart! We wasted our breath explaining so much just now; he definitely wanted to ask this right from the start."
Iron Egg was also numb. They had put on an act for so long, only for it to be completely in vain.
Si Yiheng had been waiting for them right here.
Shouldn't the Transmigration Bureau compensate its host with some money for assigning such a mission target?
Seeing that Shuyu hadn't replied to his message for a long time, Si Yiheng knew he had guessed correctly.
Shuyu always ignored his messages whenever she felt guilty.
ATM: It seems you don't want to see me anymore.
Shuyu didn't even know what to say. Did he have to be so direct? How was she supposed to answer that?
Iron Egg squeezed its eyes shut. [Stall him first.]
Iron Egg: [Act a little unreasonable!]
LittleFishSwimming: I did not! You're wronging me!
LittleFishSwimming: Brother, have our feelings faded? Do you not want to be with me anymore? If you don't want to be with me, you can just say it directly. You don't need to insult my feelings for you with this kind of question. I won't bother you; I will leave obediently.
Si Yiheng was silent for a few seconds.
ATM: Are you turning the tables on me?
Shuyu: ...
Shuyu let out two bitter laughs, then quickly covered her mouth. She didn't dare to smile bitterly, afraid that God would think she was defiant and deal her another heavy blow.
LittleFishSwimming: Do you not have work to do?
ATM: I do.
LittleFishSwimming: Then go to work. You don't need to chat with me.
ATM: ...
LittleFishSwimming: Do you know what kind of boyfriend I like?
ATM: No.
Si Yiheng felt that Shuyu was spouting nonsense now just to change the subject and dodge his question.
LittleFishSwimming: The kind who is an all-capable sugar daddy outside, a loyal dog at home, a wolf in bed, a walking bank in his pocket, and an emperor who serves me tea and water.
Si Yiheng stared at this line of text in silence.
LittleFishSwimming: Do you understand now?
ATM: Yes.
LittleFishSwimming: Brother, then go make money, I'm going to sleep.
ATM: Okay.
Shuyu figured Si Yiheng's worldview must have been shattered by the quote she found, and he definitely wouldn't be in the mood to keep pestering her.
Si Yiheng stopped messaging her. Shuyu relaxed completely and swiped over to her chat with Shen Qinghan. Shen Qinghan had sent her a bunch of messages again.
Shen Qinghan: Did Si Yiheng look for you?
Shen Qinghan: Why don't you break up with him? I'll introduce you to a man who isn't so scheming, and who is just as rich.
Shuyu was really at her wit's end. It was one thing for Si Yiheng to give her trouble, but why was Shen Qinghan also breathing down her neck every day, urging her to break up?
LittleFishSwimming: Not a chance.
Aside from Si Yiheng, no one else was her mission target!
Dating someone else would be completely useless.
Shen Qinghan didn't know about Shuyu's dilemma.
He was somewhat annoyed that Shuyu liked Si Yiheng so much. Even knowing how scheming the guy was, she still refused to break up with him.
Was that scheming, cheap man Si Yiheng really that good?
Meanwhile, in the laboratory.
Si Yiheng's junior labmate was playing a short video on loop.
The voice coming from the video said:
A girl's ideal type: a sugar daddy outside, a loyal dog at home, a wolf in bed, a walking bank in his pocket, and an emperor who serves tea and water.
Si Yiheng's junior asked, "Is this the only way to find a girlfriend?"
Si Yiheng remained silent.
Si Yiheng's junior: "Senior, is this how you found a girlfriend?"
Because Si Yiheng had made a high-profile appearance to deliver an umbrella to his girlfriend yesterday, the whole school now knew he was taken. His junior was now eagerly asking him for advice.
Si Yiheng: "No."
The junior muttered resentfully, "I knew those clickbait accounts were lying to me."
Si Yiheng: "...They aren't lying."
At least, Shuyu said she genuinely liked it.
The junior was shocked. "Senior, do you act like a loyal dog to my sister-in-law at home, too?"
Si Yiheng: "..."
The junior: "No wonder you eagerly went to deliver an umbrella as soon as it rained. So this is what it means to be a loyal dog. I've learned something today."
Si Yiheng: "..."
Si Yiheng couldn't be bothered with this overly chatty junior.
As Si Yiheng finished his experiment and was preparing to leave, his junior hurriedly ran up to him again. "Senior, they're spreading rumors about sister-in-law on the forum."
Si Yiheng's eyes turned extremely cold. "Forward it to me."
Si Yiheng looked at the forum post on his way. The discussion thread already had thousands of replies.
It started by attacking Shuyu's appearance and morality, degrading her until she seemed like nothing.
However, Shuyu's name was never mentioned throughout the entire thread.
Instead, she was referred to as Si Yiheng's girlfriend.
Si Yiheng sent a message to Shen Qinghan.
Si Yiheng: Send me the contact card of the lawyer your family used last time.
The Shen family had previously suffered from a commercial smear campaign that damaged the Shen Corporation's reputation. At the time, they used that lawyer to restore their reputation and made the slanderers pay a heavy price.
Finding this lawyer would be the most suitable choice.
After sending the message to Shen Qinghan, Si Yiheng messaged Shuyu again.
But Shuyu didn't reply to him, so Si Yiheng had no choice but to use money to wake the sleeping Shuyu.
ATM: Red Packet.
ATM: Red Packet.
ATM: Transfer 100,000
ATM: Transfer 100,000
ATM: Transfer 1,000,000
Shuyu was originally drawing line art and was only a little bit away from finishing. Hearing her phone ring, she didn't go to pick it up.
Iron Egg: [Si Yiheng transferred money to you again. This time it's one million.]
Shuyu's hand trembled, making the lines she drew a bit shaky. She tapped undo and used her stylus to redraw the final section.
Shuyu's eyes lit up. "Did Si Yiheng actually listen to our line about liking a wallet that's a bank?"
Iron Egg: [I don't know, but Si Yiheng is a real bank.]
Shuyu didn't immediately accept Si Yiheng's transfer. Instead, she asked Iron Egg, "Do you think if I just keep holding my breath and not saying anything, Si Yiheng will keep sending me money until he hits ninety million?"
Iron Egg: [If that happens, we can complete our mission early!]
Even though the person and the system knew this was unrealistic, it didn't stop them from laughing happily at the transfer amounts.
However, the very next second, Shuyu saw the message Shen Qinghan sent, and her extreme joy turned to sorrow.
Shen Qinghan: How did you offend Si Yiheng? He asked me for a lawyer's business card. Is he going to sue you?
Shen Qinghan: Damn, hurry up and flee the country. I'll buy you a plane ticket.
