A pretty live streamer beckons, and a lewd male protagonist hooks her up.

It rained for three days straight.

The lightning flashed intermittently, sometimes loud, sometimes soft, and occasionally a blinding bolt of lightning would streak across the window, deafeningly so.

But today is a nice day.

Wen Ruan leaned against the window, peering out through the security bars.

All I could hear was the "drip-drip" of water falling from the roof or windowsill, and occasionally a cool breeze would brush against my cheeks.

She reached out and waved her hand outside, then tilted her head back and sniffed lightly.

Although it was damp after the rain, it smelled of a mixture of earth and grass.

Wen Ruan stretched and felt completely relaxed.

She happily hung the freshly washed clothes out to dry, and then gave the small rented room a thorough cleaning!

Actually, there's not much to tidy up, because Wen Ruan loves cleanliness and tidies up the house every day.

A dozen minutes later.

"Coo coo..."

Wen Ruan's ears twitched, and she paused in adjusting her clothes.

She subconsciously pulled open the collar of her pajamas, buried her head and looked inside. Her once flat stomach was now noticeably sunken.

The sound is coming from here.

Wen Ruan was stunned for a moment before realizing that she seemed to have forgotten to eat breakfast.

It's been raining these past two days, making ordering takeout inconvenient, especially since the delivery fee has gone up by two yuan, so I can't bear to order anymore.

In addition, she's not a good cook, so she mostly stays at home eating instant noodles and bread, which aren't filling and make her hungry very easily.

Wen Ruan turned to look out the window. The clouds that had been blocking the sun had drifted away, and a ray of pale golden light streamed in through the open window, warming her body.

She folded the last two pieces of clothing and put them in the closet, changed into a short-sleeved shirt, and prepared to go out to find something to eat.

Suddenly, my phone chimed.

Wen Ruan opened the message and saw it from Shen Jinghe; her heart skipped a beat.

Shen Jinghe: [When are you free? Let's meet up.]

To meet?

That fast!

But Wen Ruan remembered that Shen Jinghe should have proposed meeting three months later!

[Ding! Plot point advanced. Please block and delete Shen Jinghe's contact information. Deadline: Now!]

Wen Ruan had been living such a comfortable life that she had completely forgotten about the broken system she had.

But she's already shown her face, so meeting Shen Jinghe shouldn't be a big deal, right?

The main reason is that Shen Jinghe has been very good to her, never stingy with money, so Wen Ruan felt it was a little wrong to just block him like that...

She pouted, trying to plead again: "System, system, can I try a different approach instead of blocking him?"

[Warning: The participant has refused to complete the mission!]

A piercing warning sound immediately rang out from the surrounding area.

[If the task participant does not want to go home and is willing to accept system punishment, they can refuse to complete the task.]

This was the first time the system had answered her.

His voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

It's even more annoying than the continuous rainy days.

Wen Ruan pursed her lips, her mind flashing through images of the tree spirit grandpa, the fox spirit sister... and other friends, her fingers gripping her phone so tightly they turned white.

She did not forget her original purpose.

From becoming a borderline streamer and seducing the male lead... to later working hard to pay off her debts, Wen Ruan always just wanted to go home, back to the place she knew.

That's it.

Although it's very nice here, everyone is very nice.

But Wen Ruan couldn't stay here forever.

She has a home; she's not an orphan with unknown parents, nor is she a homeless stray cat!

Wen Ruan was silent for a moment, then raised her phone and muttered to herself.

Even though she knew Shen Jinghe couldn't hear her, she felt better saying it out loud, so she pretended that Shen Jinghe had heard her:

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to either. Although you're very generous with the money and a very nice person, I have to complete my mission, I have to go home..."

Anyway, Shen Jinghe will throw her into the sea later, so it's even!

Wen Ruan convinced herself to block and delete all of Shen Jinghe's contact information in one go.

[Ding! Shen Jinghe has been blocked and deleted. Mission complete!]

She looked down at the page where there were no more messages from Shen Jinghe, feeling a little down. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to go out for a walk to clear her head and have a meal.

"Little girl! Wait a minute!"

Downstairs, Wen Ruan stopped in her tracks and saw the owner of the steamed bun shop smiling and waving at her.

Confused, she walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Auntie?"

"I noticed you hadn't left the house for the past two days, and I thought something had happened to you. I almost called the police."

The boss spoke in a soft tone, at a moderate pace, which was very pleasant to listen to.

She washed her hands, dried them with two tissues, and then took two plump, white steamed buns from the steamer and stuffed them into Wen Ruan's hands:

"Hey, take these two steamed buns, they're free. They're leftovers from when I sold them this morning, it'd be a waste to leave them lying around..."

"I remember you used to eat breakfast around this time every day, right? Just grab some to fill your stomach. Don't be too sad about breaking up with that young boyfriend; there's always someone better. You need to take good care of yourself, okay?"

As he spoke, the boss pinched Wen Ruan's cheek and said with displeasure, "Look, it's only been a few days, and all the fat on your face has fallen out!"

"No matter how heartbroken you are, you shouldn't joke around with your health!"

"Auntie, he's not my boyfriend..."

Wen Ruan wanted to explain that she and Song Yu were just ordinary friends, but the boss had a deep misunderstanding and clearly didn't believe her, continuing on his own:

"Okay, okay, no, that's not it. Anyway, you've broken up. If he dares to come looking for you again, just come downstairs to Auntie, and Auntie will kick him out for you!"

The steamed bun shop owner was an experienced person. During this period, Wen Ruan and that young man were almost inseparable, living together and holding hands. If they weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, what were they?

The boss saw the boy leave last time and never came back, and the girl was depressed for many days after she returned.

There are quite a few cases of couples arguing fiercely these days.

She was afraid that Wen Ruan, a young girl, might do something rash while alone at home, so she said a few extra words.

"Trust Auntie, you're so pretty, you'll definitely find someone who likes you. Don't hang yourself on one tree. If you can't find someone right now, Auntie can help you find someone. Auntie has a friend's brother-in-law's nephew who studies at that university over there. He's honest and doesn't talk much..."

The conversation went further and further astray. Wen Ruan took out her phone, scanned two yuan for the shopkeeper, gave a few perfunctory replies, and ran out of the alley clutching the steamed bun.

Once the boss was out of sight, Wen Ruan lowered her head and took a bite of the steamed bun that had been pinched with five fingers.

The filling remains fluffy and soft, and the aftertaste is still sweet.

She squinted her eyes contentedly, the slight irritation in her heart instantly soothed.

Suddenly, a loud meow came from below.
