Chapter 34: Brokenness and Growth
Chapter 34: Brokenness and Growth
Some people say that there is a Pandora's box hidden in everyone's heart.
Looking around at this moment, I vaguely understood the meaning of this hidden round.
The system allowed him to see another side of Jiang Mo that he didn't know about in an unconventional way.
It is the truth left behind after tearing off various labels such as "cold senior", "abstinent goddess", and "Caiyun school beauty".
She has the vanity that ordinary girls would have, and even goes beyond it in some places. Even though she has been in such a state of poverty that she can hardly afford to eat, she is still trying to maintain her dignity, and her behavior of changing the water is a bit ridiculous. .
She didn't have such a high moral bottom line. She rejected Han Yanqian without hesitation, but tried to sell her "soul" in another way.
It's just a borderline photo, it sounds like nothing.
But this is a subversion of the outlook on life and values ??she has formed over more than 20 years.
Once this hole is opened, it is like opening Pandora's box. Under the corrosion of money, her bottom line will continue to decrease until she is completely depraved.
As long as you take a few sexy photos, you can earn a day's salary of a normal office worker. As long as you take some short videos, you can earn tens of thousands. If you are bolder, you can easily earn 100,000 a month.
When you get used to this way of making quick money, you will never be able to return to the life of an ordinary person, so there are only zero or countless "missteps".
The interesting part is that Zhou Wang suddenly discovered that he was spying on more than just Jiang Mo's reality.
When the multiple-choice question of "angel" and "demon" appeared, Zhou Wang, who had been on the sidelines, began to examine his own heart.
Am I a boy again, or am I a dragon?
Zhou Wang stood quietly for a while, then retreated into the shadows.
...
The WeChat ringtone suddenly rang, echoing on the night-shrouded rooftop.
Jiang Mo, whose eyes were dim with tears, raised her head. When she saw the person on the caller ID, she was a little panicked at first. Then she quickly wiped her tears and took a few deep breaths. Then she picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
The call was connected, but there was no sound from both sides for a while. Only the slight sound of the wind blowing the sheets was transmitted through the current.
"Hello? Zhou Wang, is that you?"
Jiang Mo didn't know why Zhou Wang suddenly called her. After all, she tentatively spoke first, trying to keep her voice calm.
There was another moment of silence, and just when Jiang Mo thought Zhou Wang pressed the wrong button, Zhou Wang's voice sounded a little erratic.
"Senior Jiang..."
"Um?"
"I'll take care of you."
boom!
It was as if a thunder exploded in Jiang Mo's mind, blowing away all her consciousness in an instant.
Jiang Mo held up his phone blankly and glanced around blankly, as if he wanted to confirm whether he was awake.
"You...what did you say?"
Jiang Mo's voice continued to tremble.
"You heard me."
"Zhou Wang, you, you..."
Jiang Mo wanted to scold him, wanted to say that he was inexplicable, wanted to express her anger, but for some reason, she couldn't say a word.
"Senior, I know your current situation, I can help you, and I have already said what I want."
Zhou Wang paused for a moment, and his voice became distorted again, "Senior sister, you also want to go back to your previous life, and you don't want others to know that you can't even afford food, right?"
Listening to Zhou Wang's last words, the courage that Jiang Mo had finally gathered was shattered in an instant.
She seemed to see a pair of eyes that captured her in the most embarrassing state at this moment. She was ashamed, angry, panicked, confused... all kinds of emotions were mixed together, making Jiang Mo curl up, but he didn't know where to hide. ...
Zhou Wang stood at the corner of the stairwell, listening to the rapid breathing over there, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
He is just a boy in his early twenties. This is Jiang Mo's first time experiencing this kind of thing, and so is he... although he seems to be the leader.
He didn't want to say the last sentence, but the knowledge from psychology he had just digested told him that if he wanted to defeat the opponent's last psychological defense, he must say something harsh at this time.
Jiang Mo didn't respond, but Zhou Wang suddenly heard the system prompt.
bite!
[The host has completed the hidden round, and the round rewards are distributed simultaneously. The host obtains: Jiang Mo's desire consumption gold (first phase)]
[Desire consumption fund: Every time the bound object sinks into desire, depending on the degree, an exclusive consumption fund of varying amounts will be generated. This consumption fund can only be used for the bound object]
[Warm reminder: "Jie's windbreaker" has exhausted its energy and has been automatically destroyed]
Ding dong!
"China Merchants Bank: Your current account with the last number 1111 received RMB 1,000,000 at 22:14 on July 4."
Desire to spend money?
Zhou Wang was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly woke up.
Although Jiang Mo hadn't answered him yet, the system answered it for her.
Regarding this "exclusive consumption fund", the system explains clearly that it will only be generated when the bound object sinks towards desire.
When the first one million was received, it meant that Jiang Mo's heart had fallen.
It was only out of shame and remaining dignity that she could not speak.
Zhou Wang stared at the phone, his face blurred under the reflection of the screen.
He still couldn't really see himself clearly, but he knew that just for a short while...
He has grown.
Maybe this is the real purpose of the system?
Jiang Mo was still silent on the other end of the phone. Zhou Wang did not wait any longer, but hung up the phone and turned and walked downstairs.
...
The sudden busy signal from the phone made Jiang Mo raise his head buried between his knees with a blank expression.
Zhou Wang died suddenly?
So... what does he mean?
The seemingly same words came out of Han Yanqian and Zhou Wang's different mouths, but Jiang Mo's feelings were completely different.
The reason is that although they have only known each other for two days, Jiang Mo already has some complicated emotions towards Zhou Wang in his heart. Maybe it is a sign of good feelings, maybe it is the prototype of liking, or it is an extension of curiosity.
But precisely because of this, she actually became more and more unacceptable.
But...the cruelty of reality made it difficult for her to say no.
Zhou Wang felt that he had refused, but if he had to fight back, what should he say?
Just when Jiang Mo was struggling in his heart and felt a little overwhelmed, his cell phone suddenly rang "ding dong" and "ding dong".
She picked it up and looked at it. They were all messages from Zhou Wang.
Three in total:
"Please collect payment: 50,000.00 yuan"
"Senior sister, please go downstairs now and wait on the roadside for a while. The Wanda Hotel's car will pick you up in 5 minutes."
"Oh, and remember to delete all those messy contacts on WeChat."
