Zayne staggered back home, lying on the bed, sobbing.
At this moment, she didn't know whether her sprained foot hurt more or her heart hurt more.
After crying enough, she suddenly remembered that Luther was still in the KTV room!
Should she rush back and bring Luther back?
But...
Luther owed a huge pile of bills to Bluebird KTV. If she went to pick up Luther, she would definitely have to help Luther pay it back!
She had no money.
There was only a hundred dollars left in her WeChat wallet.
What should she do?
If she went there like this, the manager of the KTV would definitely deduct it.
Who knows, the female manager would force her to do something terrible to pay off Luther's debts.
This is how the TV dramas she has watched are played!
Zayne felt sadder and sadder, and always felt that she shouldn't have come to this city.
It's terrible here, really terrible.
She wants to go home!
She wanted to go back to that mountain village with simple folk customs and simple life.
Just when she couldn't stop crying, the chat software on her mobile phone rang.
Zayne fumbled out her mobile phone, but saw that it was a friend request from Sophia.
After hesitating for a moment.
She still pressed the "Agree" button very reluctantly.
...
At this time.
Sophia had already arrived home and put a tub of bath water at just the right temperature.
She just took off one leg of stockings and saw that Zayne agreed to her friend request.
This surprised Sophia.
In her opinion, Zayne should have argued with her for a while before being forced to accept.
"This guy is more sensible."
Sophia chuckled.
"This is good, it saves me a lot of effort."
She took off the other stockings and threw them into the trash can.
Then, she took off her cumbersome clothes, lifted her legs, stepped [into the bathtub, and enjoyed her] own relaxation time.
This was the first time she examined her new body.
It was natural for a rich girl who was raised in a pampered way to [have beautiful skin] and figure.
Sophia stroked her long white legs with satisfaction.
[28/03, 11:59 am] Ak~: She splashed water one after another, washing the shower gel foam off her body, as if every pore on her body was opened and breathing freely.
Sophia sighed softly.
If I were a man in my previous life, I would probably miss such a beauty for a long time!
This Luther was really blind, daring to waste the beauty's heart like this.
How could a man like this not have retribution?
Sophia had to sentence him to a "wifeless prison sentence."
"Not bad, not bad, I have a good figure, the only drawback is that I'm a little flat... But this is not a problem, I just don't need that kind of encumbrance."
[Host, you accepted your new identity too quickly.]
"What can I do if you don't accept it?"
Sophia changed to a more comfortable position and continued to lie in the bath.
Lifting her jade feet, kicking the foam, feeling happy.
"Think about it on the bright side, at least I don't have to worry about money in this life, right?"
[That's right.]
Sophia raised her eyebrows and smiled: "To be honest, as a social animal, my biggest wish is financial freedom! Now, this biggest wish has come true. One more day of living means one more day of earning. I have to enjoy it well, how can I have time to feel sad?"
As she said that, she simply wiped her hands with a towel and picked up the phone on the edge of the bathtub.
It has been more than 20 minutes since the friend request was accepted by the other party.
She should send a message to Zayne.
After a brief thought.
She tapped the screen and sent: Have you eaten, my baby?
...
"Have you eaten? She asked me if I had eaten? What does this mean!"
Zayne held the phone, feeling uneasy.
She always felt that Sophia's words were meaningful, and definitely not just a simple concern.
After thinking for a long time, she carefully replied: Miss Jiang, what do you want for breakfast tomorrow? I am not very good at making high-end dishes, and you may not be used to what I cook.
There is no separate kitchen here, so she has to carry pots and pans to borrow the kitchen of the landlord's wife.
As for what dishes she can cook?
Home-cooked stir-fries, steamed buns, and some simple Western desserts—she can do it.
Children from poor families have to take charge of the family early!
If she didn't know how to cook, she would have starved herself to death.
Beep beep beep——
Sophia replied to her: I am not picky about food, I love whatever you make.
As she said that, Sophia also picked a very cute emoticon pack.
Zayne held her phone, at a loss.
She had never encountered such a strong pursuit as Sophia's.
The other party was too straightforward and too passionate, which left her confused.
She didn't know what to say.
However, she couldn't not reply.
[28/03, 12:05 pm] Ak~: Sophia held leverage over both her and Luther. If Sophia was unhappy, both she and Luther would be finished.
Zayne sighed and forced herself to type a reply: It's late, time for bed. Good night. After hitting send, she quickly switched off her phone and ignored all further messages. She was destined for a sleepless night.
Zayne had always been timid. When she first decided to move to Kyoto, she had suffered from insomnia for days. Since arriving, it had only worsened; she rarely slept well more than a few times a month. Just as she had finally gotten into her preferred college, became a disciple to her favorite professor, and her situation with Luther was about to bear fruit, this mess had to happen... How could she possibly endure it?
While Zayne tossed and turned, Sophia slept soundly.
It was past eight in the morning when Sophia stretched and got out of bed. There weren't many classes at the academy today, so she didn't technically need to go in the morning. However, remembering that she wanted to take advantage of the "heroine's halo," she didn't dare slack off and decided to head to school early.
"sophia, don't you have classes this morning? Why are you up so early?" sophia's mother was surprised to see her daughter already washed and dressed. Then, her expression shifted to one of sudden realization. She quickly grabbed Sophia's arm.
"Are you going to make breakfast for that Luther kid again? Don't do it. Let Uncle john handle it; your hands aren't meant for cooking."
Mother sophia truly loved her daughter, but she was equally frustrated by her daughter's lack of self-respect. Over the past three years, the only times Sophia had ever stepped into the kitchen were for Luther. Because of him, she even had a large scar on the back of her hand.
Her mother stroked the scar and sighed. "My child, listen to me. Don't degrade yourself for a man. If you really like him, I won't stop you, but you must take care of yourself..."
"Mom, I don't want to cook for him," Sophia said seriously, taking her mother's hands in hers. "In fact, I'm tired of the old and ready for the new. Don't mention Luther to me ever again. To me, he's just a piece of trash now. I'm annoyed by him and I don't like him at all."
Mother sophia stared at her blankly, clearly not believing a word. After a long silence, she sighed, her eyes full of disappointment and helplessness. "Oh. Forget it, just go."
"You can lie to me, but don't lie to yourself," she added. "If you want to chase him, I won't stop you."
Sophia: "..."
It seemed her reputation for being in the "late stages of love brain" was deep-rooted. But it didn't matter; she had plenty of time to prove herself.
"By the way, Mom. Tell Dad to stop Luther's scholarship."
[28/03, 12:09 pm] Ak~: the dining table and prepared to go out: "Also, if Luther comes to introduce his project and ask for
investment or new sponsorship, reject him as well. Remember! Reject him firmly!"
Mother sophia was completely confused.
What's the new trick?
"Hey! sophia, what do you mean? What's this?"
She chased him out from the living room, but sophia was in a hurry and had already left in the car.
Mother sophia could only look at the shadow of her car lights going away, frowning and thinking about
the real intention of her words just now.
At this time, father sophia also came out of the bedroom.
He heard the noise in the living room, but it was not clear.
"Mother, what's wrong? It's so noisy so early in the morning! Is sophia asking us to invest in that
kid Luther again?"
