Chapter 8: The First Mission

The old lady made a scene and became an object of ridicule among the outsiders.

The old man felt bad. No matter what, he had to make Zhou Lin and Zhou Mo stay over for dinner and a night to show his hospitality as a host.

Zhou Lin had originally turned it down, but he could not resist the old man’s strong intentions. In the end, he agreed to stay.

Zhou Mo wanted to stay so that he would have a chance to comfort his G.o.ddess.

Zhou Lin followed Yun Xi’s father to a clean guest room while Zhou Mo followed Yun Lian to the Yun family’s vegetable garden.

The sky gradually turned dark. Yun Lian squatted on the ground, looking extremely helpless.

However, this was only on the surface. She was just putting on an act in front of Zhou Mo!

“Lian Lian, don’t be sad. I’ve already broken off my engagement with that girl, Yun Xi. Isn’t this a good thing? Please be happy.”

“Brother Mo, unlike my sister, I don’t have the opportunity to go to school. I won’t be educated in the future. Will you despise me?!”

Yun Lian was best at feigning pity.

“Silly girl, of course, I won’t despise you. No matter what you are, I won’t despise you.”

‘It’s because you’re my savior!’

This was what Zhou Mo said in his heart. When he realized that he had mistaken Yun Lian for his savior, he would wish to strangle the hypocrite.

Yun Lian cursed in her heart, ‘Idiot’.

She had originally wanted to make use of Zhou Mo’s ability to gain an opportunity for her to go to school in the future. However, her words were still too tactful for Zhou Mo, this straightforward man, to understand her point.

Even so, she still had to pretend to be weak and aggrieved on the surface.

“Brother Mo, I want to go to school and study. I want to be able to match you better in the future.”

This time, she made her intention more obvious and straightforward, did she not? She was certain that Zhou Mo would grasp her point.

Yun Lian’s statement put Zhou Mo on cloud nine. Even if he were asked to pluck the stars in the sky now, she believed that he would do it.

“Let’s go and study, then.”

When Yun Lian saw that Zhou Mo still did not understand the most crucial point in her words, her heart was about to explode.

Two rows of tears flowed out from the corners of her eyes, but she had no idea whether it was due to her feigned pity or rage.

“But my family can’t afford that. If my parents send my sister to school, they won’t be able to afford my tuition fees.”

“I thought it was some other major problem. Isn’t it just money?

“I have it. I’ll get it for you.”

Zhou Mo flipped through his trouser pocket and took out a 100-yuan banknote.

In the 1980s, many children were reluctant to spend even 10 cents worth of pocket money, yet Zhou Mo flipped through his trouser pocket and got a 100-yuan banknote. This clearly showed how wealthy the Zhou family was and how much the Zhou family loved their youngest son.

“Brother Mo, how can I take your money?!”

Although she said she would not take it, her body was very honest. Yun Lian reached out her hands and took the money from him.

In return, Yun Lian stood up and gave Zhou Mo a light kiss on the face.

After all, she could not expect the horse to run fast but not let it graze.

Yun Lian ran back to her room shyly, leaving Zhou Mo in the same place with a silly smile on his face.

On the other hand, Yun Xi had just gotten the opportunity to study, which gladdened her heart.

Meanwhile, the [s.p.a.ce] gave Yun Xi her first mission after rebirth: “Treat Zhou Lin’s leg injury!”

Yun Xi had also heard of Zhou Lin having a leg injury in her previous life. During the few meetings that Yun Xi had with Zhou Lin, she had personally seen Zhou Lin use a syringe to draw out some of the fluid in his knee.

Yun Xi had been badly frightened at that time. Zhou Lin had already pa.s.sed the age of 30 and had long missed the golden period of optimal treatment.

According to the elders of the Zhou family, Zhou Lin’s injury was an old injury left behind by an enemy who had shot him in the knee when he was on a mission. However, Zhou Lin was usually exceptionally strong and never let others know that he was injured.

In this life, Zhou Lin was just 26 years old. It turned out that he had been injured and suffered for so many years.

This strong-willed man did not let others see his weakness.

Yun Xi had a deep respect for Zhou Lin. She decided to use the [s.p.a.ce]’s own medical system to treat his leg injury in advance to avoid any serious side effects.
