"Ding"
Another text ssage arrived on her phone, this ti it was a credit alert.
That pathetic single-digit balance had finally grown to five digits.
Su Li rembered from the original owner’s mory that today was the paynt day for the project he had taken.
The timing of the money was just right.
At the sa ti, a call ca from the neighbor girl.
As Su Li was slipping on shoes and grabbing keys to head out, she cradled the phone between her ear and shoulder, half-listening to her neighbor girl, the goddess in the original owner’s heart, babble on with complaints.
"Su Shi, are you listening?"
After the rant, and not receiving the usual sympathy and comfort, Yuan Qingi on the other end of the line asked with so confusion.
Su Li responded indifferently, "Hmm," thought for a mont, and added, "So, why are you telling all this? What is it you want?"
There was a surprised "Ah" from the other end, followed by a full load of resentnt.
Even through the wireless connection, Su Li could feel it.
"Su Shi, are you in a bad mood today?"
That was the only explanation that could account for Su Shi’s uncharacteristic attitude towards her.
Su Li replied, "Nope, I’m actually in a pretty good mood."
"Then why..."
Su Li was getting impatient, "What is it that you want from ?"
"Oh, right, about the eting we had planned for later, I’ve decided to cancel it. After thinking about it, I figured it’s best not to get involved in the argunt you had with your boyfriend, to avoid making your misunderstandings worse."
With that, Su Li abruptly hung up the phone, not caring that Yuan Qingi still had a lot to say.
Soon, a text ssage from Yuan Qingi arrived.
A plea for the purity of their friendship followed by... the ultimate goal was to borrow money.
Su Li rembered that in the mories of the original owner, Yuan Qingi had repeatedly borrowed money from her, coinciding with the days she received her paynts.
And she never paid it back.
The original owner had argued several tis over this with the host personality, but could never overpower the host’s willing heart.
Often the money hardly had ti to warm up before it was handed out again.
Yuan Qingi wasn’t poor, but her boyfriend was a wealthy second-generation rich kid.
To maintain her proud, stubborn image, she would never accept monetary gifts from her boyfriend.
Even when going on dates, she insisted on going dutch.
But the places her rich second-generation boyfriend wanted to go weren’t places where one could spend modestly, and her modest salary couldn’t support the persona she had created for herself.
Not to ntion the need for dressing up, she couldn’t just choose any ordinary brand. Walking in circles where everyone was either rich or noble, she couldn’t let her boyfriend lose face.
Luckily, she still had a man by her side who doted on her like an elder brother.
Only today, this man, whom Yuan Qingi considered her supportive brother, was not planning to be her cash machine anymore.

Longting Garden
After being hung up on, Yuan Qingi’s face turned ashen. She frowned and sent a ssage to her girlfriends, lying that she felt unwell and canceling their shopping trip for the day.
In reality, without Su Shi’s wallet, she simply didn’t have the spare cash to spend.
Yuan Qingi couldn’t help but resent Su Shi; hadn’t she already explained to him the reason she argued with Xiao Shang?
The argunt between them was rely caused by a piece of clothing.
Xiao Shang’s friend, a boisterous companion, had thrown a party, and Xiao Shang had alerted her in advance.
Yuan Qingi pondered, looking at her boyfriend’s attitude; he didn’t seem to place much importance on this friend either. So, she decided not to dress up too formally.
On top of that, her expenses for the month had already exceeded by a lot, leaving her no extra money to buy an expensive dress for a not-so-important gathering.
Of course, she absolutely wouldn’t tell her boyfriend about this predicant.
So, she chose a last-season dress from M brand.
Due to this, when Xiao Shang accidentally got into an argunt at the party, her outfit beca a reason for others to attack him.
"Mr. Xiao, how stingy can you be, not even willing to buy a new outfit for your girlfriend? No wonder..."
"Look at the ladies present, everyone is wearing..."
Xiao Shang was infuriated and took out his anger on her when he returned.
"If you don’t have money, just ask for it. Dressing like this, do you intend to make a laughingstock?"
Although both knew that it wasn’t Yuan Qingi’s fault.
Yuan Qingi truly liked Xiao Shang, and arguing over an outfit made her feel extrely uncomfortable.
With a flicker in her eye, she decided to get herself several expensive outfits.
As for the money for clothes, couldn’t she just "borrow" it from her good friend Su Shi?
Yuan Qingi had already picked out the styles in the store, just waiting to get the money to exchange them for the clothes, but then...
Yuan Qingi didn’t feel there was anything wrong with her actions; instead, she thought Su Shi’s temperant was indeed very strange.
But aside from being angry, she didn’t find it abnormal.
Su Shi’s mood was often unpredictable; she had encountered his cold face before, even warnings to stay away from him.
But after a few hours, he would imdiately apologize to her.
Thinking of this, Yuan Qingi sent several more ssages.
She knew what words Su Shi loved to hear and was sure he would soon cool off and apologize to her.
Yuan Qingi relaxed a bit and made herself a glass of juice to drink, finishing all this before she unlocked her phone to check the ssages.
No reply, no reply, still no reply...
The rage in Yuan Qingi’s chest, which had just subsided, flared up fiercely.
Her fingers tapped out a long line of text and sent it, then a ssage popped up: "Sorry, you are not the contact’s friend."
She had been blocked...
Always treated like a princess by Su Shi, being treated like this was particularly unbearable.
She was both angry and aggrieved.
Why had she been blocked?
The phone call didn’t go through either.
Yuan Qingi’s head reeled, almost making her eyes turn dark from anger.
He had blocked all her ans of contact.
----------
After completely deleting Yuan Qingi from his phone, Su Li felt slightly better.
Dealing with such a hypocritical and manipulative woman was sothing he had no interest in.
Now, there was still a year left until the fusion of two worlds.
Though it felt a bit long and boring to wait, Su Li thought it was better than wasting ti on a pointless woman.
If others knew about the world-altering fusion, they’d surely feel shocked and scared, but perhaps only an odd one like Su Li would anticipate it.
After all, the strong always thrived on stimulation and challenges.
Shalessly, Su Li kept bestowing high praise upon himself.
