Villain: Starting by Suppressing the Protagonist and Snatching the Campus Belle Section 22

Su Lin smiled, "Xiao Yu, don't worry about losing that little bit of money."

"Coincidentally, I've made quite a bit of money from investments recently. I can lend you some to pay for Uncle Xia's treatment."

Xia Shiyu quickly said, "No, no, Su Lin, I can't take your money anymore."

Su Lin stopped, pinched Xia Shiyu's cheek, and smiled, "Who said I was giving you money? I'm lending it to you. You'll have to pay it back later."

"That much money, I can't possibly repay it," Xia Shiyu said with a pained expression.

Su Lin laughed heartily, "I'm not in a hurry. You can pay me back slowly. If not in one year, then two. If not in two, then three."

"I..."

"Tsk... You can accept Ye Feng throwing money around on reckless investments, but you won't accept me lending you money?" Su Lin pretended to be angry.

Xia Shiyu hugged Su Lin again, "Su Lin, why are you so good to me?"

Su Lin stroked Xia Shiyu's hair, "That's because our Xiao Yu is cute, and I like her a lot."

"But... but there's also Xiao Wan!!!"

"Slap!"

A crisp sound.

"Xiao Yu, you're thinking of other girls while hugging me. Focus."

"I..."

"Slap!!"

"You still want to argue?"

"Wuwu... Su Lin, I was wrong. You're not a good person at all, you're a big bad guy."

"Hahaha, I never said I was a good person."

Su Lin got into the car, laughing heartily, his face full of smugness.

Good person?

He's the villain, alright.

A 'good person' card would be the greatest insult to him.

Getting into the car, Su Lin looked at Xia Shiyu and asked, "Do you know how to buckle your seatbelt?"

Seeing Xia Shiyu not moving, Su Lin leaned over and buckled her seatbelt for her.

Xia Shiyu felt a warmth in her heart seeing Su Lin's actions, but then she thought of Lin Xiaowan and became confused again.

She couldn't understand what Su Lin was trying to do anymore.

Looking at Su Lin's distinct fingers, Xia Shiyu felt a strange sensation in her backside.

"Su Lin... this isn't the way to the hospital."

Su Lin glanced at Xia Shiyu, "It's past ten o'clock. Why are you still going to the hospital? To wake up your dad, or other patients?"

"This isn't the way to my house either."

Su Lin said calmly, "I've never been to your house, how would I know the way?"

"Then where are we going?" Xia Shiyu asked.

"Of course, we're going back to my place."

"Ah!!!"

"What 'ah'? We're both minors. Do you think I'd take you to a hotel?" Su Lin looked at Xia Shiyu as if she were an idiot.

"But... you could also take me home," Xia Shiyu said softly.

"Xiao Yu, what are you mumbling? Speak up, I can't hear you if you're too quiet."

Xia Shiyu looked at Su Lin's face and couldn't bring herself to say that sentence again. She could only say, "What if Uncle sees us?"

Su Lin sighed, "I don't even know how long I've been living alone. In a year, my dad only comes back for a few days. Don't worry, no one's home."

"Ah, no one!"

"Yes, what's with that look, girl? Do you think I'd do something improper to you?" Su Lin's face darkened.

"No, no, I just..."

"Alright, alright. We have important things to do when we get home. Stop talking for now, we're almost there."

After Su Lin finished speaking, Xia Shiyu saw a row of villas.

At the entrance of the villa area, Xia Shiyu stared blankly at the Jiangning Huating Luxury Villas.

Even though she had never lived in a villa, she had heard of the most expensive villa area in Zhongjiang.

"We're here."

"Get out of the car."

"Okay."

Xia Shiyu looked at the three-story villa before her, thinking, Since I'm already here, I might as well stay the night.

She didn't worry about Su Lin doing anything beastly.

After all, they had known each other for so long, and aside from his "slippery hand" earlier, Su Lin had always been very good.

After entering the villa, Su Lin asked Xia Shiyu to sit in the living room and went upstairs himself.

Xia Shiyu felt a little flustered, not knowing what Su Lin was going to do.

Just as she was about to call out to Su Lin in a panic, Su Lin came down from upstairs.

"It's so late, Su Lin, what are you doing with paper and pen?"

Su Lin said calmly, "What else? Writing an IOU and signing a contract."

"IOU? Contract?"

"Of course. Aren't you going to treat your dad?"

"The IOU is for the money you're borrowing from me, and the contract is for the time you'll work for me. Pretty easy to understand, right?" Su Lin raised an eyebrow.

Xia Shiyu nodded. "But how will I work for you?"

"You'll know once you've read the contract. Let me say this first, it's completely voluntary. Sign if you want to, or just put it aside if you don't."

Xia Shiyu's thoughts

Su Lin walked over and sat down beside Xia Shiyu, then placed a template IOU in front of her.

"Just write according to this template."

When Xia Shiyu saw the template, her eyes were filled with emotion.

"Su Lin, did you plan to lend me the money all along?"

Su Lin nodded. "Of course. In our entire Jiangning First High School, there are only a handful of people capable of helping you. Xiao Wan has the capability, but she doesn't have that much money herself. It's different for me; I earned my money myself, so lending it to you comes without any burden."

"After thinking about it, I'm the only one who can help you, Xiao Yu. I've considered what would happen to you if I didn't help."

"If Uncle Xia really dies, you'll be completely alone. Your relatives will take advantage of the situation, and you might not even be able to keep your house, ending up living under someone else's roof."

"That's not the outcome I want to see. I still want to see Xiao Yu smile more."

"Su Lin~!!"

Xia Shiyu covered her small mouth with one hand and quickly picked up a pen with the other, signing the IOU.

[Ding~! Xia Shiyu's favorability towards the host has reached 90↑ (increasing)]

Su Lin smiled when he saw this.

Seeing Xia Shiyu pause at the amount field, Su Lin chuckled, "Sign for six hundred thousand first. Uncle Xia will need to stay in the hospital for a while after the surgery."

"Okay~!!"

Xia Shiyu had already made up her mind. She might not be able to repay eight hundred thousand even in ten or twenty years. She would use the rest of her life to repay Su Lin.

Even if Su Lin wanted to do something excessive to her, she would be willing.

One had to know that the economy in this world in '02 was similar to Earth's in '10. Everyone was still earning just over two thousand a month.

Eight hundred thousand was a huge sum, not something everyone had, nor something everyone was willing to take out.

With this thought in mind, Xia Shiyu no longer hesitated.

She was very fast, finishing the IOU in a few minutes.

"Su Lin, do I need to put my fingerprint on this IOU?"

"No need, it's just a formality. There's no red ink at my place for fingerprints," Su Lin said with a light laugh.

"Heh, aren't you afraid I won't honor it later?"

"Hahaha, Xiao Yu, even if I didn't ask you to sign this IOU, you would remember it clearly."

"Mm, alright."

"The IOU is signed. Let's sign the contract."
