Chapter 17: Scamming the Sugar Daddy Da Mi

In the afternoon, the sound of rain outside the window was sparse, much lighter than it had been at the beginning. Many students had started rain-praying ceremonies in the campus group chats with great seriousness, praying that the heavens would grant them one more day of rain. They really didn’t want to do military training!

Qin Liang, however, did not have this worry, as he was a sick patient himself.

At this moment, in dorm room 812, the young man was leaning against his upper bunk, his ice-blue pupils reflecting the faint glow of his phone screen, his gaze soft, as if he were anticipating something.

With a “ding,” accompanied by the slight bounce of the cat-holding-a-coke-can avatar, a picture was sent over.

It was a selfie.

In the frame, a girl in a cheongsam stood before a floor-length mirror.

The first thing that caught the eye was her slender calves, wrapped in smoky pink satin, faintly visible, as lustrous as jade.

At the slit of the cheongsam, peonies embroidered with gold thread wound their way up her snow-white skin, outlining the curves of the girl’s waist and hips in a breathtaking way, as if there were an invisible force of attraction, making one want to reach out and touch that softness.

The mirror reflected a narrow corner of the room, the blurred background furnishings suggesting that the picture was taken in some private space.

The cold light of the phone screen reflected off the young man’s ice-blue pupils, creating tiny ripples. He unconsciously rubbed the edge of his phone case, his Adam’s apple bobbing with restraint.

GentleAsAGem: –Very beautiful, more beautiful than ever. This cheongsam suits you very well.

After a pause, he added another sentence, “I’m looking forward to meeting you after the military training even more now. expectant.jpg”

Meanwhile, in the small rental unit, a certain beautiful girl in a cheongsam, experiencing women’s clothing for the first time in her life, saw the young man’s message and laughed ungraciously.

‘You little thing, just one leg picture is enough to get you hooked. How sexually repressed are you!’

It’s Kele, Not Leke: –As long as you like it, big brother. Actually… I have many more leg pictures like this. If you like them, I can send them to you in the future.

It’s Kele, Not Leke: –But you can’t use them for bad things, or I’ll get angry. pouting.jpg

It’s Kele, Not Leke: –And you can’t just send them to anyone. If you do that, I won’t talk to you anymore.

GentleAsAGem: –I promise. swearing.jpg

“Big sister sauce, you’re laughing so happily.”

The beautiful girl in white stockings looked at the girl in the cheongsam, who was laughing so hard she was bending over backwards, without any feminine etiquette. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her little mouth pouted. “But that’s not very ladylike. No boy will like a girl who isn’t ladylike.”

The laughter stopped. Tang Yunle unceremoniously tapped her on the head. “What do you know!”

“Besides, I’m not a real girl! Do I need to be ladylike!”

“I’m about to get a big score from him, just watch.”

After saying that, Tang Yunle immediately got into work mode.

It’s Kele, Not Leke: –Big brother, do you have any spare change?

It’s Kele, Not Leke: –It’s okay if you don’t. Just consider it a disturbance.

After sending the message, Tang Yunle held his phone and turned to look smugly at the bewildered Tang Yunke, silently counting to three in his heart.

Ding~

Just as he silently counted to the second number, his phone vibrated.

GentleAsAGem: –What’s wrong? Short on money again?

It’s Kele, Not Leke: –A group of strangers came to our house today to collect debts. My dad gave them my sister’s living expenses.

It’s Kele, Not Leke: –Big brother… can you lend me some more money? A thousand, just a thousand will be enough.

He finished typing and clicked send.

Tang Yunle was full of confidence.

But just then, the restless little head next to him started talking again.

“Big sister sauce, is it okay for you to lie to your boyfriend like this?”

“If your boyfriend finds out in the future, he’ll punish you severely in bed.”

“If you want some pocket money, can’t you just ask your boyfriend for it directly?”

Hearing this, Tang Yunle rolled his eyes dramatically, the hem of his cheongsam fluttering with the movement. “What boyfriend? What do you mean, lie? He’s clearly lending it to me willingly. And this is all money I got by sacrificing my beauty.”

“Guess how much he’ll give me this time? I’m guessing one thousand five hundred, but it could also be two thousand, or at best three thousand.”

“This rich and foolish sugar daddy is always so generous when he gives money. I reckon his family owns a mine.”

And just as he was complaining to Tang Yunke, his phone “dinged.”

Tang Yunle picked it up, glanced at it, and saw that ten thousand yuan had been deposited into his bank account.

‘Oh, so little this time, only one…’

‘Wait? How much!’

‘Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands…’

‘Four zeros!!’

The four zeros danced wildly before her eyes, making her eye sockets ache.

‘Not one thousand, but ten thousand!’

‘Why so much this time?’

Based on past experience, although that “sugar daddy” was generous, at most he would increase his offer by fifty percent. Even if he was in a good mood, he would only double or triple it, for example, offering two or three thousand for a one-thousand-yuan request.

But now, she had asked for one thousand, and he had sent ten thousand…

‘A one-thousand-percent increase.’

Tang Yunle felt a little guilty for some reason.

This money felt a little hot to handle. Could it be that the sugar daddy was about to make some perverted requests?

‘For example… a naked chat?’

It’s Kele, Not Leke: –Big brother, did you accidentally add an extra zero? Should I transfer it back to you? Ten thousand yuan is a bit too much.

GentleAsAGem: –You can keep it. Three thousand of it is for your sister’s living expenses. Thank her for chatting with me this week while you were away. The other three thousand is for you. You look beautiful in a cheongsam. Take a few more pictures later, that’s your tip. Hmm… it should be called a tip.

It’s Kele, Not Leke: –Then what about the remaining four thousand?

GentleAsAGem: –The remaining four thousand is for you and your sister to go out and have a good meal today. To nourish your bodies.

The corner of Tang Yunle’s mouth twitched.

‘Four thousand yuan, for a good meal today.’

That nonchalant tone made it sound as easy as adding ice to lemonade.

‘As expected, poverty has limited her imagination.’

‘Her sugar daddy is even richer than she imagined.’

After chatting with the sugar daddy for a while longer, Tang Yunle used all his skills in being cute, coquettish, and caring, maxing out the emotional value until the other person took the initiative to say he had something to do and went offline.

She collapsed onto the creaky little bed in the rental unit, clutching her phone. The “ten thousand yuan received” notification on the screen stung her eyes.

There was no cheering and jumping for joy as she had imagined, nor the long-awaited “Wuhu, take off!” Tang Yunle just stared at the ceiling, silent as a mystery, not even knowing whether to smile or frown.

‘Ten thousand yuan, ten thousand yuan.’

In her eyes, it was the tuition fee that concerned her entire college career, but in his eyes, giving away ten thousand yuan was as easy as tossing out ten yuan.

The gap between people is truly greater than that between humans and dogs.

The delicate hem of the cheongsam brushed against the rough bedsheet. The beautiful girl in the cheongsam on the bed stared at the phone screen, lost in thought, and then gave a self-deprecating smile.

‘Damn it! How can this rich kid be so rich!’

‘I’ll milk you dry!!’
