Bai Ningning started to panic.
Qin Yue was tall and slender, but her strength was not small at all; her arms held Bai Ningning firmly and steadily.
Bai Ningning could feel her fingers sinking into the soft flesh of her thigh.
Although she didn't know why, the girl understood that she had messed up.
Calm down, she should gently ask the other person if she had said something wrong.
"Why are you so angry?" the girl in her arms still kept her little face cold, "Did I hit a sore spot?"
Qin Yue kicked the door open, the loud bang made Bai Ningning's little heart tremble again.
Then she was thrown onto the soft big bed.
Qin Yue was furious, her face full of suppressed frost.
Bai Ningning tried to tell herself not to panic, there was still a chance; the older sister's emotions were clearly off, and she should remind her not to be so angry.
The girl slightly parted her cherry lips: "Are you anxious?"
Anxious, anxious, anxious, anxious?
Qin Yue laughed in anger, looking down at her from the foot of the bed.
"Bai Ningning, I've always wanted to ask you a question."
She leaned down, resting her head against the girl's delicate neck, whispering softly: "Tell me, do you cry, the real kind?"
Eh?
Is this a line from a superhero movie battling Batman?
Of course, I can cry; not only can I cry, but I can also... Ouch!
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!
Qin Yue was already furious, and after drinking a bit, her strikes were heavy, like a level 25 drunken panda throwing punches, each hit a critical strike.
Bai Ningning's little face tightened, her body trembling slightly.
Seaweed, it's time to wash up, boohoo.
Whether it was a problem with her body or her personality, or maybe both, she always maintained a calm and aloof expression.
She was pretty, but she was indeed a bit lacking.
Qin Yue took a moment to look up, wanting to see if the little green tea had any regrets. But she found the girl neither crying nor making a fuss, at most just whimpering a couple of times.
She couldn't help but recall Bai Ningning's earlier words—
"With your abilities, I'm really worried."
"I'm really worried."
"Very worried."
"My heart."
"Ah."
Qin Yue was furious, not only throwing drunken punches but also borrowing the drunken rage, her normal attacks infused with magical damage.
Bai Ningning understood the girl's pain.
A hundred times more painful than Jin Mu's singing.
Slowly, Bai Ningning's consciousness blurred. In her final moments, she remembered the person who told her, "It only hurts once."
Bastard, you tricked me.
...
In a hazy sleep, Bai Ningning had several dreams.
She dreamed of the accident that made her take off, dreamed of a new starting point in front of the mirror, and dreamed of those domestic youth romance films she had watched before.
The movies always had a voiceover saying that youth is always filled with pain. Bai Ningning, in the past, had scoffed at this, but now, she felt it deeply.
It hurt so much, boohoo.
After an unknown amount of time, the long night came to an end, and dawn climbed over the mountain.
Qin Yue lazily turned over, revealing a beautiful face still tinged with sleepiness.
The air conditioning was on, and she was cuddling a soft "pillow" in her blanket, feeling extremely comfortable, even wanting to sleep a little longer.
But then she suddenly remembered something, forcing herself to wake up and reach for her phone.
"Good morning, President Qin, what can I do for you?"
"The morning meeting is canceled, changed to an afternoon video conference."
"Afternoon... what time?"
Qin Yue thought for a moment and said, "Three o'clock."
Twenty years of life, like a dream, like an illusion.
Bai Ningning woke up in unease, feeling something was off, cold and chilly.
No way, is it not over yet?
She shivered in fear.
"Don't move," Qin Yue's voice came, "I'm applying medicine."
The voice was cold, but it warmed her heart; see, she was applying medicine.
Did her earlier sincere words have an effect?
"Don't think too much, heh," Qin Yue sneered, "It's just for sustainable use."
...Oh.
So tired, so exhausted, Bai Ningning soon fell back asleep.
When she finally woke up, it was already afternoon, and the sun was high in the sky.
So sore, so tired, she couldn't get up.
Bai Ningning tried a few times and found it was better to continue lying down; after all, she didn't have to go to school or work today.
Voices were coming from the inner room without a door, like a voice chat. She perked up her ears to listen, but there were many professional terms she couldn't understand.
Got it, the company is having a meeting.
For a moment, Bai Ningning's mood was extremely complicated.
Pretty older sister, thank you for taking the time to clean me up amidst your busy schedule.
Thank you!
After a while, the voices from the inner room gradually faded, followed by the sound of a computer shutting down.
Qin Yue came out from the inner room; because of the meeting, she was dressed very formally, in a fitted women's suit and a black pencil skirt, along with black stockings and high heels.
She was already tall, and with the high heels, she looked even more upright, cold and beautiful, with a bit of a handsome vibe.
At a glance, she looked very formidable.
"Can you sit up?" Qin Yue asked.
No, sister, it feels like my waist is about to break, my thighs have no feeling, and it's hard to even speak.
Although she didn't cry or shout during the process, just whimpering... but whimpering also tires the throat.
Bai Ningning wanted to express her complicated feelings with a pitiful, endearing smile.
"Hehe." That was the actual effect.
"Alright, you just listen," Qin Yue didn't mind, and spoke, "I know you are currently homeless; the previous house has already been rented out, so you can stay here to pay off your debt. As for when, how many times, and the frequency, it will all depend on my mood until you pay off your debt."
She paused slightly and continued, "Including during school."
There were less than two weeks left until the start of the second year.
Bai Ningning felt a bit more spirited; although she didn't really want to go to university again, a diploma was very important, and she couldn't get it without attending school.
But then she thought of a problem.
"But I have no money," the girl's voice was a bit hoarse, "I have no money for next semester's tuition."
The original owner had no assets to begin with and relied on Qin Yue to support her. Later, when things were exposed, Qin Yue secretly set a trap and took back all the valuable things she had given her before.
Or like game items, directly destroyed, so that no one could have them.
Qin Yue smiled, her slender fingers slightly hooked in her pocket, pulling out a bank card.
She waved the card in front of the girl: "There is ten thousand yuan in here."
Ten thousand yuan, just enough for next semester's tuition and other related expenses, not too much, leaving at most a few dozen yuan in change.
As Bai Ningning was thinking about how to express her thanks, she heard Qin Yue say again:
"There is no free lunch in the world, Bai Ningning, your free lunch time has ended. So, if you want money, tell me, what can you do?"
