The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 3 - Sitting on the Electric Scooter Laughing

Tong Yao hugged the little pudding, and finally, tears as hot as molten metal broke through her smile, which was uglier than crying.

Tear after tear, like pearls falling off a string, rolled down the curve of her cheeks.

They shattered on her beautiful collarbone.

Tong Yao sobbed without sound, "It's all melted already!"

"...Unlucky, the fridge in the convenience store is broken, and it's still being fixed."

Lin Shuang shrugged his shoulders, "I'll take it home and freeze it for you, or shall I buy you a new one?"

The sunset at the edge of the sky had completely disappeared.

It was the time of transition between day and night, with just a little light left.

Perhaps to illuminate the path home for people.

"I just want this one!"

Tong Yao held the little pudding in one hand, covering her face with the other.

Like a little girl who can't find her way home, weeping bitterly.

Lin Shuang reached out and grabbed her wrist again.

"...it hurts!"

"Tong, the Campus Belle, don't cry here! Everyone will think I'm a scumbag!"

There were quite a few pedestrians on the busy street, and passersby had already stopped to watch the drama unfold, occasionally pointing at the somewhat handsome Lin Shuang.

Right beside them was a fruit shop, and Lin Shuangxin thought everyone might as well buy a watermelon to eat while watching the show!

He pulled Tong Yao into the convenience store to avoid further attention.

The part-time cashier girl also craned her neck to look at the tearful Tong Yao, casting Lin Shuang the kind of glances reserved for womanizers.

Lin Shuang felt pretty innocent here!

He guided Tong Yao into the convenience store and sat down at a table, the row usually reserved for customers eating instant noodles, which just so happened to be customer-free at the moment.

"My reputation has been ruined by you!"

Lin Shuang pushed Tong Yao down into the seat and ruffled her hair.

Since he was wronged despite being innocent, he had to fleece some benefits back!

Tong Yao continued crying, nibbling on the little pudding while she did.

She looked up at him with her face pitiful, "Lin Shuang... my mother has died..."

The melted little pudding dribbled from the corner of her mouth.

"Condolences."

Lin Shuang passed her a pack of tissues, "Wipe it off... I'm sorry about your loss, but surely, there must still be things in this world you're fond of, like how tasty this little pudding is, don't you want to eat more of them?"

She used the tissue to wipe her tears - actually, Lin Shuang meant for her to wipe off the dribbling little pudding!

And then... she smeared the pudding all over her face, turning into a little calico cat.

The calico cat, with her smeared face, stared at him.

What are you looking at! He's not a little pudding!

Nor cat food! Nor a cat teaser toy!

Should we say it's typical of Tong, the Campus Belle... to be so cute even like this!

Lin Shuang averted his gaze, continuing to speak.

"Anyhow, you still owe me two hundred thousand, and debt repayment is only right and natural. Don't think about jumping off water towers or mountains, I won't let you off even if I become a ghost, it's a huge amount of two hundred thousand!"

Calico cat Tong Yao shrank her head, "...Okay, then shall we... go back to your place?"

Lin Shuang paused before he understood what she meant, then flicked her on the head, "No shivering! What's with this brain of yours, always thinking about shivering!"

The calico cat covered her little floral face.

Lin Shuang sighed, might as well do the kind deed through to the end.

Who could blame him for being such a model student, a proud owner of a red scarf.

"So here's the deal, you see, my place is fairly big and actually, I'm in need of a maid. Someone to clean daily, cook meals and such."

The house Lin Shuang currently lives in is also an inheritance from his parents, a four-bedroom, one-living-room flat.

"I'll pay you a monthly salary of ten thousand, that way, by the time you graduate, you should be able to repay the entire two hundred thousand to me. How does that sound?"

Lin Shuang grabbed another tissue, attempting to wipe the face of this little calico cat, "Anyway, you have to live well at least until you've paid off the debt, understand?"

Tong Yao obediently let him wipe her face and lifted her watery eyes to look at him, whispering softly, "...Lin Shuang, you've saved me once again..."

Lin Shuang didn't catch that, "Hmm? What did you say? Badmouthing me on the sly?"

"...No, nothing. Then, I'll be your little maid."

As soon as she finished speaking, the countdown over the little calico cat's head finally began to fade, eventually disappearing completely.

Lin Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and poked her cheek, "Alright, we'll sign a contract later. Think you can just run away owing me so much money? Not a chance. Live well and work hard to pay off the debt."

Tong Yao pressed her face into his palm, rubbing against it like a little kitten, "I understand..."

Her voice, too, was just like a little kitten's.

"Then I'll move in tomorrow... and be a good little maid for you."

Lin Shuang let go of her hand, "...Even though I tried hard to wipe it, I couldn't get it clean. Go home and wash up, little calico cat."

Tong Yao was momentarily stunned before turning to look at the mirror on the convenience store shelf.

"Ah!"

She covered her face and stood up, dashing aimlessly toward the exit.

Lin Shuang casually sat in his chair, watching her flustered escape and waved, smiling, "See you tomorrow! Campus beauty!"

"See you tomorrow! Big bully!"

Tong Yao's soft and sweet voice carried with the evening breeze.

The sun had set, but at last, the girl's voice warmed.

Lin Shuang was in high spirits, having returned from rebirth and successfully prevented the campus beauty from taking her life.

Yay!

He walked home leisurely humming a tune, pondering the transparent system dialogue box in front of him.

[Challenge successfully passed]

[The Decision System is loading...]

The two lines of text froze there. What kind of CPU was this system using? Not very good!

He opened his home door and instantly spotted a freshly arrived refined and extraordinary tall beauty in his house.

She was dressed in a deep blue gown with a slit hem, showcasing two long, fair and delicate legs crossed over one another, lazily reclining on his couch.

Her posture was more at ease than his at his own home.

She sat there, taking off her high heels, apparently just arrived.

Seeing Lin Shuang come in through the door, she raised her eyebrows and eyes, "Lin Dasha, where have you been gallivanting off to?"

Lin Shuang finally snapped back to reality, almost lunged to hug her, calling out tenderly, "Wanwan..."

She pushed his face away, "Hmm? Lin Dasha, have you finally lost it completely?"

This was his childhood friend of many years, Su Wan, who after decades still talked to him about anything and everything.

Back from rebirth, seeing the familiar Wanwan, Lin Shuang couldn't help but feel a tide of emotions, truly wanting to cuddle and play with her.

But Su Wan wasn't one to be polite with him, she hooked up her high heels with her toes and kicked him on the shin.

"Why are you clinging so closely? You stink."

Lin Shuang hugged his leg in pain. Right, this was the familiar feeling.

This woman still liked to kick him when unhappy, especially with her high heels on.

Su Wan confidently extended her finger and hooked his chin, "You, are you thinking of asking me to write your paper again?"
