The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

Lu Yuan went downstairs and then returned to the rooftop, carrying a bowl of beef noodles to the girl.

He breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the girl in front of him wolf down her bowl of beef noodles.

What overtime meal did he have?

He just went downstairs to buy this; after searching for a long time, he finally found this place with few customers.

Besides returning the money, it was also a test.

As long as a person wants to eat, they want to live.

"My mission is over, bye-bye."

Lu Yuan turned and left. As a deliveryman, he delivered the food to the customer.

As a person with normal values, he did everything he could to save a girl's life.

As an ordinary citizen who was afraid of getting into trouble with the police, he had just secretly stolen a fruit knife.

What happens next is none of his business; he has fulfilled his obligations.

"Thank you for buying me the meal," Shang Qingya said, chewing slowly.

"Just a meal that's gone past its time limit."

Lu Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, his face clearly showing his deep-seated ambition and hidden talent.

He finally realized the difference between high-level wish-fulfillment novels and ordinary wish-fulfillment novels.

This kind of subtly concealing one's achievements, if executed well, truly surpasses the snobbishness and contempt of ordinary wish-fulfillment novels...

"The beef noodle soup is still hot."

???

Lu Yuan blushed, feeling embarrassed that his pretentious act had been exposed.

I forgot about the soup because I was trying to buy food quickly to avoid being caught.

Fortunately, Shang Qingya didn't notice Lu Yuan's expression at all.

She stopped chewing and spoke softly.

"I will work hard. I plan to take a year off from school to work and save enough money to go back to school and prepare for the college entrance examination."

"Don't you want to die?"

Shang Qingya looked very serious under the setting sun, but the chili pepper hanging from the corner of her mouth made her look somewhat comical.

But it's also a beautiful kind of comicality.

This kind of lotus-like character, rising from the mud unsullied, is the true succubus.

All you need to do is put on your faded school uniform, subtly reveal your tragic past, and smile warmly in the sunlight.

She told you that although it was tough, she was determined to get back on her feet and keep living.

You don't need to do anything else; she'll completely bewitch you.

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment before asking, "How long until the college entrance exam?"

"Three months."

"Isn't it a bit of a waste to take a break from school now?"

"I want to persevere, the school offers tuition and fee reductions, but I have no food to eat."

Living is simple; all you need to do is eat and breathe.

It's hard to live; if you can't eat, you can't breathe.

We can persevere in any other situation.

But it's impossible to go without food.

"You can't even get food at home?"

"My mother is mentally ill, and my maternal grandparents take care of her, but they don't take care of me."

"Alright, good luck."

Lu Yuan was about to leave, because there was nothing left to do if he stayed.

He's already wasted a lot of time; now he should be going downstairs and working hard to deliver food.

That's how they think.

But he felt increasingly uneasy.

"Damn it, I play games just to have fun, anyway, I can't take this money with me."

Lu Yuan turned his head and looked at Shang Qingya's pale and thin face.

If she's the kind of person who's full of negativity and complains about everything.

He won't care at all.

But he happens to be someone who wants to make the most of any opportunity to live a fulfilling life...

Lu Yuan waved his hand and gritted his teeth as he said, "Study hard. I'll take care of your meals until you finish your college entrance exam."

"what?"

Shang Qingya's face instantly turned red, and she clenched her hands tightly around the hem of her clothes, not daring to look up at all.

"There's definitely no fancy meal; fast food will do."

Lu Yuan laid out the unpleasant truth upfront, but when he noticed the girl didn't answer, he looked up at her with a puzzled expression: "Why are you flushed?"

"Because...because..."

Shang Qingya didn't dare to explain at all.

Because what Lu Yuan said was a bit too ambiguous.

Looking at the girl's blushing face, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that he seemed to have gone astray in playing this game.

How did it become a nook and cranny?

No, no, that needs to be corrected.

Lu Yuan coughed lightly:

"Don't overthink it. Just think of it as me raising a little pet. Even feeding stray cats requires buying cat food."

Am I a small pet?

Shang Qingya's expression became even more flustered, and she involuntarily raised her finger and pointed at herself.

"It's just like feeding stray cats."

Lu Yuan swore he really just wanted to make an appropriate analogy and absolutely didn't mean anything by it!

High school seniors should focus on their studies! Spend less time online watching useless things!

The road is long and people are panicked, so they don't choose the right road.

He fled far away.

"You can take this dress with you."

Shang Qingya pointed to the sexy bodycon dress.

"Keep it; you might need it someday."

With the road so far, he dared not turn back, so he made up an excuse and ran away.

Shang Qingya stood there, her face flushed, on the rooftop, saying nothing.

Actually, this continued until Lu Yuan said, "We'll provide meals until the end of the college entrance exam."

Her claim of not wanting to die was just an excuse to get Lu Yuan to leave quickly.

She was just pretending to be optimistic.

The phrase "strive to live a good life" sounds easy, but only those who live it truly know the reality.

She felt that dying was the most rational choice.

But she is sensitive.

When she noticed Lu Yuan secretly hiding a fruit knife, she suddenly realized that suicide might cause trouble for Lu Yuan.

So she wanted to send Lu Yuan away and die in a way that wouldn't cause trouble for others.

Until Lu Yuan offered to take care of her meals from now on...

A strange feeling instantly arose in her heart.

Rather, it was because Shang Qingya thought, "He seems kind of cute."

In Shang Qingya's mind.

The clumsy logic Lu Yuan spouted was nowhere near as memorable as those adorable moments.

"She just wanted to return the extra money to herself, but she insisted on making up an excuse that the takeout was late. Her face turned red when she was found out."

"He readily accepted the 'tiger-hunting' mission for just five yuan, but when he heard he had to suspend his studies to work, he hesitated for a moment and then said he'd take care of his own meals."

Simplicity means rigidity, complexity means vividness; complex inner thoughts and behaviors constitute the vividness of humankind.

The energy generated by these vivid moments that AI cannot capture is immeasurable.

Even a cold corpse would grin at the sight of it.

So Shang Qingya decided not to die and to try one more time.

Because it's during the most confused and helpless time of one's life.

Suddenly, a cute food deliveryman appeared out of nowhere, shouting, "I am the people's food deliveryman!" and then, inexplicably, a bond formed between them.

As for small pets and such.

Let's just pretend we didn't hear it.

The girl tiptoed and hugged the dress to her chest, and after thinking for a moment, she finally convinced herself.

"He's a bit slow; he probably didn't mean anything by it."

Although she said that, she remained rooted to the spot and did not move.

No one knows what she's imagining.

The blush spread from her cheeks all the way down to her neck, like fiery clouds on the horizon.

After a long pause, he muttered to himself:

Am I a pet that's been kept as a pet?
