Itchy

Mourning the soon-to-be-gone arm of Dian Bei.

Suddenly felt a force at his waist.

Looking down, a glowing little pinky was poking him squarely in the waist.

Ah

This

Dian Bei looked around and indeed found no less than ten strange people on both sides, glaring angrily at him.

It's over, not only has he lost an arm, but also his waist.

Dian Bei felt his legs go weak, stumbling and nearly falling to the ground.

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Dian Bei get poked and wobbling like he was about to fall down.

Lizi hurried to try and support him.

But as soon as she reached out her hand, Dian Bei jerked back violently.

"You, you stay away."

Although he had lost one arm and one part of his waist.

But Dian Bei felt he could still save himself a little.

If Lizi really held onto him, then he would be utterly doomed.

"Yo yo yo, looks like you've been dumped, your boyfriend doesn't even want to touch you, you must have been played out."

Gan Zhe mocked as he watched this dramatic scene unfold before him.

"This doesn't really seem to have anything to do with you."

Lizi was quite dissatisfied with her unprofessional partner, and her tone hardened.

"How does it not? If you beg me, maybe I'll graciously rekindle things with you, then this store could be yours, do you want to consider that...?"

Gan Zhe hadn't finished speaking when the server who had just swiped the card came over.

"Sir..."

The server returned the card, saying two careful words.

"What?"

Gan Zhe was displeased at being interrupted.

"Sorry sir, I didn't mean to disturb you, but could you please use a different card? Our machine seems to have trouble reading this one."

The server spoke politely.

But the underlying meaning was that Gan Zhe's card was declined.

"Then I'll pay with Geobird."

Gan Zhe felt a bit embarrassed, as he had just been boasting in front of his ex-girlfriend.

And now this awkward situation occurred.

Fortunately, his bank card and Geobird were linked, so he could pay with his phone.

Huh?

Huh?

Gan Zhe fiddled with it for several minutes, but Geobird wasn't responding.

"Ahem, your network might be bad, let me try again."

Gan Zhe used a cough to release his inner awkwardness.

"Sir, we do have wi-fi here, you're welcome to connect."

The server remained polite.

"Oh, okay."

Gan Zhe absentmindedly fiddled with his phone again.

Suddenly, a message popped up:

[Your account is suspected of illegal activity and has been frozen. If you have any questions, please visit your nearest bank.]

Illegal activity?

Gan Zhe really couldn't understand what illegal activity he had engaged in recently.

Wasn't everything perfectly normal?

"Excuse me sir, are you going to pay? If not, please let the people behind you go first, they've been waiting quite a while."

Seeing Gan Zhe motionless for so long, the thoughtful server reminded him.

"Hmph! What terrible service, I'm not buying anything here."

Gan Zhe stormed out after throwing those harsh words.

He didn't want to embarrass himself further in front of his ex-girlfriend.

Not to mention, he had just said all those things earlier.

Lizi watched Gan Zhe inexplicably ramble on, then abruptly leave, utterly confused.

Wasn't he going to buy out this whole store?

Hey, do you still want that lipstick?

If not, I'll get it.

Calculating the time, it seemed she would soon complete the boss's task.

Lizi gave the dazed Dian Bei a push from behind.

"What are you spacing out for? Let's go."

Ah!!!!

Feeling the force from behind his back.

Dian Bei's heart was filled with sadness.

Doomed

"Alas, my gravesite must be big, burn lots of paper money for me, I'm afraid I won't have enough for the journey."

"And cell phones, villas, computers, tablets, don't miss a single one."

"Oh yes, most importantly, wi-fi and cell towers, be sure to burn those for me too."

"And things like maids, the more the better."

"You all just keep making those for me."

"And also, don't forget to tell my mom and dad how unfilial I was..."

Dian Bei rambled on and on, and Lizi didn't understand a word.

"What are you saying? It's five o'clock, time to get off work."

Lizi checked the time and saw it was the scheduled hour.

Without bothering the raving Dian Bei, she simply got in her car and left.

As for Dian Bei?

With such a poor performance, he really should reflect deeply.

[Ding, the Companion System has detected that the host Gan Zhe is becoming suspicious of the system. Compatibility has decreased by 10%, current compatibility is 50%]

Just as the drama concluded, Ye Bufan received the system's message.

Considering Dian Bei's suffering if not for his efforts, Ye Bufan decided to let him off this time.

Originally, Ye Bufan hadn't planned on sparing this wealthy son at all.

After what Gan Zhe did to Lizi.

But in his good mood today, Ye Bufan decided not to pursue it further.

After leaving the lipstick store, Gan Zhe became increasingly uncomfortable.

These underwear were really not meant for humans to wear.

Gan Zhe suddenly recalled one small advantage Lizi had.

At least the underwear she bought was from reputable brands.

It wouldn't make him suffer like this.

But in Gan Zhe's heart, that tiny advantage was all Lizi had left.

For Gan Zhe now, the most important thing was to figure out what had happened with his bank card.

After all, without money, he couldn't even change his pants.

He would just have to keep suffering this itch.

At the bank, there was the usual queue for taking numbers at the counter.

But today, Gan Zhe didn't need to do that.

Because it was already five o'clock - closing time.

The bank's main doors were already shut, only the ATM vestibule was open 24 hours.

Which was utterly useless for Gan Zhe's situation.

Itch, itch

Scratch, scratch

Without money, Gan Zhe couldn't even take public transportation, so he had to walk all the way back to school.

He remembered stashing some cash at school.

For emergencies just like this.

Now was the time for that money to shine.

Scratching all the way, itching all the way.

Itching all the way, scratching all the way.

Nearly scratching his skin raw, Gan Zhe finally made it back to the dorms.

He searched high and low through his entire room.

But couldn't find the cash he had hidden earlier.

With no choice, Gan Zhe went to the bathroom to rinse off with water first.

Strangely enough, rinsing with water did provide quite a relief.

Looking at the monkey pox-like dots covering him, he felt rather disgusted.

If he hadn't missed dinner from being broke, he probably would have vomited it all up by now.

After rinsing off, Gan Zhe dried his body and put his old underwear back on.

The kind Lizi had bought him before.

It was indeed more comfortable than the new pair.

Still itchy, but at least bearable.

Thinking about having to go on like this tomorrow, Gan Zhe couldn't stand it anymore.

He started calling around desperately to borrow money.
