Chapter 48 Chapter 48: Video
“Yehao, save me!”
“Alright, alright, you two calm down.” Ji Yehao chuckled, amused by the quarrel.
After venting, Su Yuan looked dejected. “Don’t worry, Gao Jun. I won’t compete with you for Summer Jie. I only see her as a sister.”
Thinking of her body, she felt lost on the road of love…
Seeing her desolate expression, both Ji Yehao and Gao Jun felt a pang of guilt, as if they had stripped her of the right to love. Could it be that Su Yuan truly had feelings for Linfei?
Ji Yehao walked over, patting her thin shoulder. “Su Yuan, how about I introduce you to a girlfriend?”
“You’ll introduce me?” Su Yuan’s eyes widened.
“Yes. I’ll choose carefully for you.”
Su Yuan laughed and punched him lightly. “Worry about yourself first. You’re handsome—why haven’t you dated anyone?”
“Because I don’t want to,” Ji Yehao said calmly, then smiled. “So you admit I’m more handsome than you?”
“Please. You’re handsome, but compared to me, still a bit short.”
Gao Jun nodded seriously. “I agree. Yehao, you attract girls, but Su Yuan is different—she charms both men and women. Her combat power is off the charts. Just look at Peng Jie. You’re not in the same league.”
“Gao Jun, you’re dead!” Su Yuan’s eyes flashed dangerously.
He shrank back and fled the room.
…
Back at the dorm after nine, Su Yuan, though tipsy, was clear‑headed. She logged onto her computer and found a reply to her two‑week‑old post.
The world has many rich people, and among them, countless “tuhao”—wealthy spenders. Though often despised, they are secretly envied. Every ordinary person dreams of either becoming rich or befriending the rich.
If the rich person is a beautiful woman, she becomes the legendary “white‑rich‑beauty.”
Su Yuan’s “Little Fox” game account had been unsold for weeks. Tonight, a buyer offered 3,000 yuan. Just when she was about to lower the price, hope appeared.
She thought: if he’s willing to pay 3,000, maybe he’ll pay 5,000. For the rich, money is just a symbol.
She tested him. To her surprise, he agreed. Soon, a transfer notification arrived.
Success!
She quickly handed over the account details. Honesty mattered—money for goods.
With 5,000 yuan earned, her financial crisis eased. Her mood lifted. Money isn’t everything, but without it, nothing works.
She reflected: those who say money is evil should try living without it.
Checking the time—almost ten—she decided to sleep early.
But then her QQ flashed. A familiar avatar: Hongye.
Hongye: “Su Yao!”
Su Yao: “What is it.”
“Let’s video chat…”
“…”
“You promised last time. Hurry!”
Su Yuan hesitated. Last time she had dodged, claiming to be at an internet café. But she had promised to video later.
“Not at a café again, are you?”
“No.”
“Then let’s video!”
“…Alright.”
She sighed. Better to face it. She tidied her hair, checked her reflection—fresh and neat.
“Yehao, Gao Jun, I’m videoing a friend. Don’t make noise.”
She put on her headset and accepted the request. A neat room appeared, but no person.
“Where are you?”
“Wait, plugging in my headset.” A gentle voice came. Soon, a young woman in a white shirt appeared.
Hongye looked twenty‑four or twenty‑five, mature yet with a trace of student aura—likely just graduated.
She saw Su Yuan and gasped. Short hair, clear features, one eye hidden by bangs, the other bright. Dressed in light purple, her round neck graceful. A girl so cute one wanted to bite her.
“Wow, Su Yao, you’re adorable!”
Su Yuan stayed calm, filtering out the compliment. “You’re the first online friend I’ve video‑chatted with.”
“Really? I’m honored!”
Hongye was talkative. Su Yuan mostly listened. She learned Hongye worked at a hospital, technically a doctor but still doing nurse‑like tasks, frustrated by probation.
Su Yuan offered little comfort, but thought: every beginning is hard. Medicine is still a respected career.
“Su Yao, we’re in the same city. Fate! Let’s meet.”
Normally Hongye avoided meeting online friends, wary of men seeking flings. But Su Yuan was different—a cute girl. Hongye felt a strong impulse.
“Meet?” Su Yuan was surprised.
“Yes. How about the morning of the 26th?”
That was Wednesday. Su Yuan was free. With her body changing, she needed new clothes. With money now, she thought: why not let Hongye help choose.
She nodded. “Alright. I need to buy clothes anyway.”
“Perfect. I’ll help you pick.”
“Thanks.”
“No need.” Hongye gave her number.
The chat was pleasant. Su Yuan mostly listened, which suited her—especially with Yehao and Gao Jun nearby.
Humming a tune, she gathered clothes for a shower.
