Chapter 238: So Beauty Really Comes at a Price?

Rent-a-girlfriend service!

Xiao Yuyu felt a bit excited just thinking about it.

However, if she were to hire a rental girlfriend, the price would likely be quite steep.

But she could save some money. She would top up her games less often and buy fewer original profile pictures.

‘When the time comes, I’ll have Su Li be my girlfriend!’

Thinking of this, Xiao Yuyu began to look forward to it.

If things followed the plots of novels and anime, then one wave of trouble would follow another.

Perhaps Su Li wouldn’t be able to solve her difficulties this time and would need her help.

She could provide Su Li with even more money.

To her, money didn’t matter; Su Li was the most important thing.

Hehe!

The thought of having Su Li wake her up tomorrow made Xiao Yuyu itch with anticipation.

Was there anything happier than hearing Su Li’s voice the moment she woke up?

Xiao Yuyu couldn’t imagine it!

She wanted to hear Su Li’s voice.

A beautiful day would begin with the sound of Su Li’s voice!

This time, she would definitely succeed in losing weight.

She was no longer alone; she had Su Li by her side.

Xiao Yuyu felt like she was the happiest girl in the world.

If only she could have a body that never gained weight, then she would —

She would —

Xiao Yuyu didn’t dare imagine any further, fearing she might faint from sheer bliss.

“Defeat!”

Accompanied by the in-game audio, Xiao Yuyu finally snapped out of it.

She hadn’t even interacted with Su Li much during this round!

And yet, it was already over!

Her teammates were simply too unreliable.

Xiao Yuyu glanced at the game time; it had only been 7 minutes.

She looked at her 0-15-1 record, feeling a bit puzzled.

She didn’t understand why the computer-controlled version of her character was so lackluster, feeding so many kills!

‘Is beauty truly a price that must be paid?’

She felt a sense of regret.

But she quickly resolved to become a National Server Diaochan by their next meeting to impress Su Li!

Afterward, Xiao Yuyu played four or five more games with Su Li.

To her disappointment, every game ended before she could finish chatting to her heart’s content with Su Li.

Looking at Su Li’s profile picture, Xiao Yuyu swallowed hard.

She felt her heart begin to pound violently.

Her closed eyelids trembled slightly.

As the tip of her nose brushed against the camera, her breath condensed into a small patch of white mist.

A flush rose in her cheeks, burning from her earlobes down to the base of her neck.

Her fingers tightly gripped the charging cable.

Beads of sweat trickled down her chin and into her collar.

She recoiled as if she had been struck by an electric shock.

Her entire body sank into the back of her chair, which let out a muffled creak.

The lip print on the screen shimmered in the blue light.

Xiao Yuyu messily wiped it with her pajama sleeve.

She curled her body into the shape of a shrimp.

“Goodnight, Su Li,” she murmured softly.

But at this moment, Su Li had already left.

She was the only one left alone in the game room.

However, Xiao Yuyu didn’t feel sad.

Instead, a smile played across the corners of her mouth.

She was full of anticipation for the future.

She was truly the happiest girl in the world!

With Su Li around, she was so happy!

‘How could there be such a cute girl like Su Li in this world?’

Xiao Yuyu didn’t understand it, but she was grateful.

Su Li had descended to her side like an angel.

Su Li was her very own angel!

Xiao Yuyu hugged her cell phone and rolled around on the bed in excitement.

She really wanted a full-body photo of Su Li.

That way, she could make a Su Li cushion to hold in her arms.

She couldn’t imagine just how happy of a girl she would be then!

……

Su Li looked at the 2,500 yuan that had arrived in her account, but her heart didn’t flutter much.

Perhaps it was because Bai Huizi had given her too much before.

Consequently, she didn’t feel much when seeing 2,500 yuan.

If it had been the old her, she probably would have been too excited to sleep.

She would have even celebrated by buying Cat a lot of delicious food.

The 2,500 yuan was already enough for her and Cat to find a decent place to live.

There would be no need for her and Cat to squeeze into a dark underground room anymore.

【What are you busy with? When will you have time?】

【[Voice Message] 25″ (Su Li, Su Li, I’m here, I’m here! I’m watching videos to study right now. It’s so convenient to have a cell phone. Even without paper, I can practice on the phone! Do you need something, Su Li? I’m available at any time! As long as Su Li is free, I’m free!)】

Cat’s reply came very quickly.

Su Li looked at the duration of the voice message Cat had sent.

It had arrived almost at the same time as her own message.

It was practically an instantaneous reply.

She suddenly worried that Cat was spending too much time on her phone and might ruin her eyes.

Still, Su Li prioritized answering Cat’s question.

【Mm, I have a relatively easy job I want to introduce to you, Cat. That way, you won’t have to work so hard anymore.】

【The salary and benefits are also quite good.】

Su Li didn’t directly tell Cat what the specific job was.

After all, she was worried Cat might feel a psychological burden.

【Eh?】

Cat’s reply came quickly.

Su Li could sense Cat’s surprise.

【[Voice Message] 16″ (I… I’m afraid I won’t do a good job. I don’t want to let down your expectations, Su Li! And… I’ve only just started learning to read. There are many jobs I simply wouldn’t be able to do well. Other people would definitely be able to do better than me!)】

Su Li played the voice message slowly.

She could hear the nervous tone in Cat’s voice.

She hadn’t even introduced the specific job yet, and Cat was already starting to worry and feel embarrassed.

Fortunately, Cat’s Boss was her.

There was no candidate more suitable than Cat.

After all, in a sense, Cat could be considered a well-connected hire.

【It doesn’t matter. You don’t need to worry about those things. There’s training, and it includes room and board!】

【As for the salary, if you work hard, Cat, earning over 10,000 a month isn’t just a dream.】

Su Li felt a bit like a scammer, luring the innocent Cat into her home.

Moreover, a monthly income of 10,000 felt a bit like she was exploiting Cat.

But there was no need to rush these things. She would just increase Cat’s salary slowly over time.

【[Voice Message] 10″ (Over 10,000 a month? Isn’t that too much! I… I don’t think I can do it?)】

Cat’s voice was trembling.

Su Li could sense the trepidation in Cat’s heart and continued to reply.

【It’s fine. I’m here.】

This time, Cat didn’t reply instantly.

It was as if she had fallen into deep thought.

Su Li wasn’t in a hurry. She gave Cat enough time to consider.

【Shall I go to your place tomorrow to talk in person?】

【[Voice Message] 15″ (Su Li, Su Li. How about… how about I go find you instead? Just tell me whenever you’re free. I… I’m fine with anything!)】

Hearing the urgent tone in Cat’s voice, Su Li could sense her tension and unease.

She guessed that the place Cat lived in wasn’t very good.

Because of that, she felt she had to go see Cat’s place even more.

If possible, she would bring Cat back home that very night.
