Being a gigolo was too much for him, so he had to become a music superstar.

After she finished speaking, she winked at Lin Buyi, her smile full of "you know what I mean".

Lin Buyi stared at Su Nianwei in disbelief, completely dumbfounded.

What the hell is this demon?

Three or four times a day?

Does she think she's a pile driver?

He couldn't stand having sex once a day before, and now they're even putting performance reviews on him?

This isn't just being a kept man; this is risking your life for money!

"You...you're exploiting me!" Lin Buyi's face turned red with anger, and he finally managed to utter a protest.

"Exploitation?" Su Nianwei raised an eyebrow, not angry at all, but laughing even more happily.

She suddenly lunged forward and pressed Lin Buyi, who had just sat up, back down onto the soft bed.

She braced herself on either side of his body, completely enveloping him in her shadow.

"This is a reward for you." Her voice was low and seductive. "If you work just a little harder, you can earn more money and raise enough for your sister's surgery sooner, isn't that great?"

"you……"

Just as Lin Buyi was about to retort, Su Nianwei suddenly lowered her head.

Her lips brushed lightly against his earlobe, her warm breath spraying onto his neck.

"Or are you already past your prime?"

These words precisely pierced Lin Buyi's last shred of dignity as a man.

He froze.

An unnamed fire, mixed with the humiliation and resentment that had been suppressed for a month, suddenly surged up from his lower abdomen.

Then, unbelievably, he... had a reaction.

Su Nianwei immediately sensed the changes in his body.

She raised the corners of her mouth triumphantly, her smile widening.

"Looks like you're not so bad after all." Her hand began to wander downwards. "In that case, shall we take advantage of the morning and get our first KPI for the day?"

Lin Buyi jolted awake and instantly sobered up.

No! Absolutely not!

If this continues, forget about making money, we'll lose our lives here!

For my back, for my health, and for the freedom to leave this place in the future!

Lin Buyi suddenly burst out with strength, pushed Su Nianwei off him, and then scrambled off the bed.

"No! I...I have to go to the hospital!" he said, frantically putting on his clothes without turning his head.

"Go to the hospital to see your sister?" Su Nianwei didn't press him any further, but simply leaned back against the headboard, watching his disheveled appearance.

"Yes! I have to go see her!" Lin Buyi found a perfect excuse and moved even faster.

"Go ahead," Su Nianwei said languidly. "Come back soon."

She wasn't worried at all that Lin Buyi would run away.

Because she knew that as long as his sister's illness wasn't cured, and as long as he still owed that 100,000 yuan, he would definitely come back here.

Lin Buyi dressed and practically fled from the bedroom and out of the luxurious villa.

He didn't feel alive again until he breathed in the fresh morning air outside.

He glanced back at the palace-like villa and cursed inwardly: "Witch!"

……

It takes more than an hour by bus to get from the villa in the affluent neighborhood to the hospital in the city center.

Lin Buyi could have easily taken a taxi, or even had the Su family's driver take him, but he didn't.

He preferred to squeeze into this swaying, sweat-smelling bus.

Only here did he feel like a living, breathing human being, rather than a plaything in the villa.

The scenery outside the car window rushed past, skyscrapers, bustling traffic, full of the warmth of everyday life.

Lin Buyi leaned against the window, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar street scene outside, and his mood gradually calmed down.

Although the incident that morning was humiliating, it also strengthened his resolve to get out of there as soon as possible.

"Performance appraisal..."

Lin Buyi couldn't help but want to curse whenever he thought of that word.

That vixen Su Nianwei has truly come up with new and exciting ways to torment people.

She wasn't unaware of her physical condition; she did it on purpose.

What she enjoyed was the thrill of controlling him.

but……

Lin Buyi's eyes flickered.

Her words also reminded him.

If... if it really is as she said, that she can raise the remaining 100,000 yuan in three to five days, then should I... take a gamble?

Trade three to five days of hard work for the freedom of the rest of your life.

This deal seems... worthwhile?

Once the idea popped into my head, it started to grow wildly like weeds.

Lin Buyi's heart started racing uncontrollably.

He began to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter.

But soon, he shook his head with a wry smile.

No.

The body is the capital.

If you overdo it and end up with some health problems, then it's not worth it.

Moreover, he always felt that Su Nianwei had ulterior motives.

If I really work my butt off to meet her so-called KPIs, will she come up with some new ways to torture me?

For example, could the standard be increased from three or four times a day to five or six times a day?

Given that vixen's character, she's absolutely capable of doing something like that.

We can't follow her train of thought.

We still have to stick to the original plan, 10,000 a day, and honestly endure for another ten days.

Although it's a bit slow, it's reliable.

"We have arrived at the Municipal Hospital. Passengers who wish to disembark, please exit through the rear door..."

The bus stop announcement interrupted Lin Buyi's thoughts.

He came to his senses and got off the bus with the flow of people.

The hospital entrance was bustling with people, and the air was thick with the smell of disinfectant.

Lin Buyi took a deep breath and stepped inside.

He knew the way well and went to the inpatient department, taking the elevator to the hematology ward on the seventh floor.

Standing at the door of the ward, he straightened his clothes, rubbed his face vigorously, trying to look more energetic, before pushing the door open.

"Brother, you're here!"

A clear and pleasant sound immediately rang out.

On the hospital bed, a girl with a somewhat pale face, but whose features bore a striking resemblance to his, was reading a book.

The girl's eyes lit up the moment she saw him come in.

She is Lin Buyi's younger sister, Lin Qingxue.

"Qingxue, how are you feeling today?" Lin Buyi walked over with a gentle smile on his face and reached out to touch her head.

"It's great! The doctor even praised me this morning, saying I'm recovering well," Lin Qingxue replied with a smile, then took his hand and helped him sit on the chair by the bed.

She tilted her head up, carefully examining Lin Buyi, but her beautiful brows slowly furrowed.

"Brother..." she said hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" Lin Buyi's heart tightened, thinking that she was not feeling well.

"Have you been working too hard lately?" Lin Qingxue's voice was tinged with concern. "You seem to have lost a lot of weight, and your face... is also paler than the last time you came."
