Transmigrating Into a Book, the Villain Becomes the White Moonlight!

13: Chapter 13 The Torturous Newbie Gift Pack”Huh?” Mu Xue was caught off guard by the abrupt question and instinctively replied, ”No... I haven’t.”

Su Bai’s gaze swept over her—the slightly faded T-shirt worn under her school uniform was the same one she had on Monday, and there were no new pieces of jewelry or accessories on her.

Logically speaking, forty thousand yuan was more than enough for a university girl to splurge for a while.

Yet she was working here of all places.

This meant the money was likely no longer in her possession, or perhaps she simply couldn’t bring herself to touch that substantial sum.

As if struck by a thought, Su Bai took out his phone and glanced at the screen.

The messages he’d sent to The girls he added at the start of the semester had sunk without a trace, and today, not a single one had replied to him.

A wave of inexplicable irritation washed over him. He stuffed the phone back into his pocket, looked up at Mu Xue, and spoke in an even tone:

”What time do you get off work?”

”There’s... still twenty minutes left.” Mu Xue answered almost reflexively.

”Five thousand.” Su Bai stared into her eyes, his words concise. ”I’ll wait for you outside.”

What those simple numbers and that location implied was tacitly understood by both of them.

Mu Xue’s heart gave a violent lurch. Her lips parted slightly as she hesitated and struggled over whether to agree or say something.

However, Su Bai didn’t give her any time to think. He had already picked up the cake bag, turned, walked to the small table by the window near the shop entrance, sat down, opened the box as if no one else was around, and used a small fork to spear a piece of mousse into his mouth.

”Hey,” his voice came from the doorway, carrying a tone of utter matter-of-factness, ”bring me another drink.”

”Coming!” Mu Xue immediately responded, almost breaking into a jog to prepare the beverage.

As she placed a glass of iced lemon water on the tray, she shook her head vigorously, trying to dispel the chaotic thoughts swirling in her mind.

Mu Xue, what on earth is wrong with you?

She silently asked herself the question in her heart but couldn’t find a clear answer.

Whatever her reasons were, in the eyes of this rich young master, she was nothing more than... someone selling herself.

This realization pierced her heart like a thorn.

She gently placed the iced lemon water on the table in front of Su Bai.

”I don’t like sour things; I prefer sweet drinks,” Su Bai remarked, glancing at the glass.

”I... I’ll get you another one,” Mu Xue said, reaching to take the glass back.

”Forget it,” Su Bai waved his hand dismissively, picked up the glass, and took a sip. ”I’ll make do. Can’t be bothered to wait.”

Hearing this, Mu Xue could only awkwardly withdraw her hand and silently retreat behind the counter.

While pretending to tidy the shelves, her gaze involuntarily drifted through the bright glass window, landing on the profile of the person leisurely eating cake.

Night, hotel room.

In the bathroom, the sound of rushing water continued for some time.

Standing under the shower, Su Bai let the warm water stream over his body, scrubbing his arm in irritation.

This damned [Immortal Kidney Body]. Its effects were powerful, alright, but the side effects it brought were truly torturous.

”Whoosh—”

He irritably turned off the water valve, dried himself with a towel, and walked out.

The room was quiet, filled only with Mu Xue’s faint breathing.

He began putting on the clothes scattered on the chair.

”To be honest,”

he began slowly, each word landing on Mu Xue’s heart like a small hammer.

”you’re the most... blunt girl I’ve ever met among those trying to latch onto a rich guy. You even skipped the most basic roundabout approaches.”

Those words instantly shattered the courage Mu Xue had mustered.

Her face turned deathly pale in an instant. Her lips quivered slightly a few times as if she wanted to explain herself, but in the end, no words came out.
