Chapter 167: She Must Survive!

Hearing Chi Qingyao’s words, Chi Qingya fell silent without saying a word.

She felt her heart beating rapidly.

If it were in the past, she would have refused her younger sister’s request without the slightest hesitation.

But now, she was desperately eager for her sister to appear.

If her sister were by her side…

Maybe she wouldn’t feel so lonely like she did now?

Although her sister was rather mischievous, she was not a bad person.

If their parents or she herself fell ill, her sister would definitely take care of them with great care.

Perhaps it was because of this phone call with Chi Qingyao that Chi Qingya regained some confidence.

She felt that there were indeed people in this world who cared about her.

She too should live her life properly.

She looked at the hot water she had poured into her bowl, picked up the bowl, and downed the water in one gulp.

She wanted to live!

Even if it was just for her sister, for her family, she had to keep on living.

Maybe it was because she’d drunk quite a bit of water, but Chi Qingya felt a bit better.

She suddenly remembered that, if she hadn’t had a falling out with Su Li, perhaps when her sister came to S City for a visit, she could have introduced Su Li to her sister…

As a friend?

Chi Qingya thought this, staring in a daze at the rice porridge before her.

It seemed like a long, long time ago—but actually, it wasn’t so long ago.

Back when she first met Su Li, she had thought about this.

She’d thought about introducing Su Li to her family.

Introducing her to her parents, introducing her to her sister.

Telling her sister that she’d made a good friend.

Looking at the empty room, Chi Qingya lowered her head, her grip on the bowl tightening considerably.

Her friendship with Su Li had already broken apart, and she could no longer introduce Su Li to her family.

“Su Li….”

Chi Qingya murmured Su Li’s name softly, feeling as if that name was both extremely close to her, and yet so very far away.

She wanted to reach out and hold on, but there was no way to grasp it.

Her phone kept vibrating nonstop.

But Su Li paid it no mind.

Her gaze was on the teacher at the lectern, teaching earnestly.

She began to reflect on her own actions.

In the past, Su Li would regularly review and summarize her experiences.

Summing up her work experience, naturally, was to help herself earn more money.

Judging from the results, her habit of reviewing experiences had proven quite effective, at least giving her good results in both work and income.

She and Cat had a home of their own.

Even though it was still Rent, at least it was a foothold in this world.

She didn’t even need to worry about what to eat.

Su Li looked at her savings, which had reached nearly four million.

This was undeniably more than she’d ever had in her previous life.

She’d earned more through her own efforts.

But Su Li still felt an uneasy sense in her heart. She didn’t know why, when her emotions were clearly steady, she still felt this way.

It was just that her body was telling her she was uneasy.

In the past, whenever she felt uneasy, she would suffer from insomnia, sometimes unable to sleep all night.

Even on ordinary days, she would zone out for no reason.

Recently, she’d been the same, occasionally zoning out for no reason.

She had more money now, so this shouldn’t be happening.

Su Li thought for a moment, then figured perhaps it was because of Cat.

Wherever Cat was, that place was her home.

Every day when she came home and saw Cat, she’d feel at ease.

Now, even though she had taken in quite a few cats, none of them could replace Cat’s position in her heart.

Even when she came home every day and the cats would rub against her legs, they weren’t Cat.

Su Li felt she had figured out the key to her problem, but when she looked out the window, her mood didn’t change much.

She thought of Miss Cat.

Miss Cat was very similar to Cat.

But if she thought of the two as the same being, there was always a strange feeling.

After all, things like a cat turning into a cat-girl only appeared in manga and novels.

Miss Cat wasn’t a cat-girl, she was an ordinary human.

But Su Li, someone who was supposed to be a male protagonist, had come to this world and become a girl herself, so maybe Cat turning into Miss Cat wasn’t that big a deal after all.

Su Li didn’t dwell on this matter any further.

She only felt a slight regret; if only she’d given Miss Cat a little more cat food when Miss Cat left her house this morning, but she hadn’t.

Even that feeling of regret did not cause much turmoil in Su Li’s heart.

She continued to think about her work.

The customers she’d dealt with recently.

Even though MOKA was seeking her out more and more frequently, thanks to her talent, composing a Song still required some time.

And according to Su Li’s observations, MOKA usually only contacted her when she was about to run out of money and felt a sense of urgency.

Like a desperate last stand, she was eager to create a new Song.

Su Li guessed that maybe the new Song MOKA composed last time had a good effect, so she hadn’t contacted her for a while.

Then there was Bai Huizi—the Landlady Sister with Strong Desire for Control was surprisingly wealthy and always looked after her business.

So Su Li felt that her cooperation with Bai Huizi was pretty good.

She was quite satisfied with their transactions.

Bai Huizi was also generous with Payment.

As for Shen Cishu, Su Li didn’t pay her much mind.

Su Li wasn’t very satisfied with their last deal, especially since Shen Cishu hadn’t reimbursed her for the money she spent.

But Bai Huizi’s Task was still ongoing.

She suspected she might still have some dealings with Shen Cishu.

Of course, if Shen Cishu refused to reimburse her for the expenses, Su Li would rather ignore Bai Huizi’s Task and end the transaction.

It was just like that time when Chi Qingya and her little sister asked her to slash a price on that app.

Her dealings with Shen Cishu were like that price-cutting app.

Spending more time and energy—and even money—for an invisible Payment.

She felt it just wasn’t worth it.

As Su Li thought this, she sensed someone looking at her.

But Su Li didn’t care.

With her outstanding looks and top-notch modeling, there were always people looking at her every day.

If she cared about all of them, it would be a complete waste of time.

Besides, these people weren’t worth much.

Not worth wasting time on.

As for the last Customer, Xiao Yuyu…

Su Li felt that if she had time, she could continue doing business with Xiao Yuyu.

But if she spent too much time on her, it really wasn’t worth it.

After all, she was just a companion for games, not for chatting.

If she wanted to chat, that was a different price.

Clearly, Xiao Yuyu didn’t have any intention of paying for chat.

【Baby!】

【Baby!】

【Baby, say something, baby!】

The phone screen lit up, and seeing the messages popping up incessantly, Su Li didn’t reply.

Instead, she focused even more intently on the lecture.
