The moment Jiang Li nodded, he saw the rest of his friends giving him a perplexed gaze that immediately turned into a meaningful grin. A second later, the big brother Cheng Du took over his spot there and shoved him away from Su Xuefeng. The man supported the beaten up guy and led the rest to the clinic.
"Mr. He. As thanks for saving me yesterday, please allow me to treat you to a meal."
The girl's pale face showed how sincere she was in her request. However, it had to be said that if not for seeing the male lead coming over, most likely to continue asking questions to Na Yu, Jiang Li would have not agreed.
"The decors and ambiance are nice." He dryly commented when they took a seat and saw that the woman was looking at him, waiting for his opinion of the place. Some time already passed since Na Yu led him to a classy Western restaurant located near the biggest mall in Aurora City.
"It's owned by my grandparents."
Na Yu was a pretty girl with glossy long black hair, carefully drawn eyebrows, nude makeup, and cherry pink lips. She intently looked at him, waiting to see his reaction.
The girl was initially a bit smug. The man sitting across her, despite his unusual show of comfort in a high-end place like this, doesn't seem to be from a wealthy family due to his non-branded clothing. She was expecting him to show a surprised face before fawning over her. However, her mood plummeted down when he heard his very simple reply.
"Oh. Okay."
That's it.
'... This guy is quite popular not only due to his good looks and vocals but for being a die-hard suitor of that Tang Lan. But if he is always like this, it makes sense that she rejected him.'
It didn't take long for Na Yu to scold herself.
In reality, she knew the man was a famous romantic that all girls felt pity for and wanted to have for themselves. She was clear in her heart that he must be in his 'bitterness' stage due to the heartbreak. Although she was mostly outside of the university for her internship, the campus news never failed to reach her since one of her 'real' hobbies was to browse the local forums.
After ordering for both of them, she pursed her lips and said, "Thank you very much for what you did yesterday."
Jiang Li's finger was regularly tapping on his cheap wristwatch out of boredom. When he heard her voice, he raised his head along with one of his brows.
"I only did what I should," he curtly responded.
She shook her head, "Don't be modest. If not for you, I would be a corpse by now. To be honest, I still can't believe that I tried to jump off the rooftop of a seven-story building."
The guy almost laughed out loud.
Feng Ru, the villainess, was an oddball among ghosts, but she wouldn't possess someone who had not yet resolved herself to die. Does it mean this Na Yu simply sobered up and realized that her future was too precious to throw away? If so, good then. Even an extra deserved a chance for a meaningful life.
Jiang Li remembered something from both the current set of memories and his own. With a serious tone, but without meeting her eyes, "You are indebted to me, in a sense, right?"
The girl nodded, but she obviously hesitated at first, feeling like something bad would happen if she did. Only her moral upbringing and shame barred her from denying his claim.
The guy then shrugged, "Nice that you know. Actually, in your heart, you are clear that you are never threatened to go there, right? If so, there must be a reason. How about you quit your intern job tomorrow and become our exclusive manager? I assure you that will be a better environment than your current work place and will distract you from your depression in a positive way."
"..."
Na Yu felt like slapping herself to confirm she was not in a nightmare, faced with a multi-faceted demon.
A few moments later, she asked herself, 'Did I hear him correctly? Better environment... Depression... Eh? What kind of topic-changing is this? Wait? How did he know?'
The pretty girl almost jumped from her seat and fled due to fright.
System: Ah... Blackmail mode.
Half an hour later, when Jiang Li went back to the dormitory, a dark smile never left his lips. He would never admit it was because he had a good laugh at Na Yu's dumbfounded and blanched face throughout the whole dinner.
Not long after, he finished brushing his teeth and said hello to Feng Ru who suddenly appeared standing behind him in the reflection. Since he could guess that the villainess was either angry at what he said yesterday or warning him to not do anything untoward to Na Yu, he ignored her scary expression and waved her goodbye before going to sleep.
In his mind though, he thought, 'No matter if she's angry or sending warnings, what a joke! She's the one who almost pushed that poor girl to commit suicide! Tch! Really unreasonable!'
When the villainess did her tricks to the lights and the temperature, he simply thanked her and closed his eyes, not caring if she became more furious and left to vent her misgivings on the innocent students of his dorm.
