Feeling Unclean

Ye Chen nodded gently and agreed.

Last month, Ye Chen's father, Ye Dashan, was struck by a car and had been lying in a hospital bed in a coma, completely unconscious.

The driver had fled the scene, and because it was a stormy night and the vehicle had been using cloned plates, the perpetrator had yet to be caught.

Medical expenses flowed out like water, far beyond what an ordinary family or their meager agricultural insurance could afford.

Overnight, Ye Chen's mother, Li Juan, had turned gray with worry.

Hao Ren watched the expressions of the crowd, feeling very satisfied, and signaled for the men in black suits to distribute the jewelry.

Once Ye Chen, Cheng Tong, and the others had put on the designated accessories, they entered the venue and began the runway show.

Under the stage lights.

Ye Chen appeared in a black suit, looking handsome and dashing.

The sparkling jewelry complemented Ye Chen, making him look exceptionally outstanding.

Offstage, the wealthy women watched with eyes glowing with greed.

As soon as the show concluded.

Ye Chen was invited to the banquet area, where he was surrounded by a group of wealthy women.

A woman in her forties with a plump figure and well-maintained long hair showed no restraint in her hungry gaze. Pretending to examine his brooch, she reached out and touched Ye Chen's firm chest through his suit jacket.

"Not bad, I like it," the wealthy woman said with a smile.

Ye Chen stiffened his body; he couldn't let himself be molested for nothing.

"If you like it, will you buy it?" Ye Chen asked directly.

The long-haired woman smiled and withdrew her hand, responding generously, "I'll buy it. It's just a brooch; consider it me treating you to milk tea."

Staff members immediately stepped forward, presenting a POS machine to process the card payment.

"Thank you!" Ye Chen forced a faint smile and removed the brooch to pin it onto the woman himself.

A commission of over thirty thousand was in the bag.

What kind of milk tea costs over thirty thousand a cup?

It's good to be rich.

A brooch worth over three hundred thousand, bought as easily as if it were a head of cabbage.

Ye Chen only regretted that his system had yet to be repaired and activated; otherwise, he wouldn't have to sell his looks like this just for a bit of money.

In truth, Ye Chen had been born into Blue Star after transmigrating from Earth Star.

Ye Chen still remembered that before he transmigrated, he had been lying in bed staying up late to read novels.

Before he died suddenly, he only had time to factory reset his phone.

The two terabytes of torrents, dozens of bookmarks, exquisite photos, and educational love films on his computer hadn't been formatted in time.

Before the age of five, Ye Chen still possessed his memories of Blue Star.

After Ye Chen recited the poem "Ode to the Goose" in his residential complex, all the aunts and middle-aged women in the neighborhood were shocked, praising Ye Chen as a little prodigy.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from a clear sky.

It shook Ye Chen's brain until it buzzed.

In an instant, most of the precious memories regarding literature and entertainment from Earth Star in Ye Chen's mind vanished.

After the thunder, a loli-like voice rang out in Ye Chen's head.

[Ding! Respected host found. System attempting to activate...]

[The host's Earth Star entertainment memories are too formidable, triggering a fatal lightning strike on Blue Star... The system has been damaged while shielding the host from the fatal blow... Energy is currently insufficient, activation failed... Initiating host protection mode, temporarily locking away parts of Earth Star memories, to be unlocked after repairs... Zzz... System repairing...]

Under the system's notification, Ye Chen was stunned.

The good news: there was a system.

The bad news: the system was still under repair...

Because of that lightning strike, even though Ye Chen had planned to spread Earth Star's culture on Blue Star and shock the people here, he couldn't.

Since the system was damaged while saving him, he could only hope it would be repaired soon.

Ye Chen's family had been relatively well-off when he was young, so he hadn't been in a rush to unlock it.

Who would have thought that this wait would last over a decade without the system ever successfully repairing itself?

Ye Chen was lost in thought.

A short-haired, obese wealthy woman sitting across from Ye Chen also smiled and waved at him, saying, "Hey young man, the necklace on your neck is also quite nice. Come sit over here and let me take a closer look."

The long-haired woman glanced at the obese woman, a flash of displeasure in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, merely waving at Ye Chen to signal that he could go over.

For the sake of making money, Ye Chen had no choice but to stand up, nod to the long-haired woman to show his gratitude, and walk over to sit at the table next to the obese woman.

"Hmm, it really is quite nice, top-tier. Drink this glass of wine, and I'll buy it." Taking the opportunity to touch the necklace, the obese woman stroked Ye Chen's Adam's apple and got a clear look at his face, feeling very satisfied.

This necklace was worth 2.5 million, with a commission of 250,000.

A real man knows when to bend and when to stretch.

Ye Chen closed his eyes. It was just a glass of wine.

As long as he drank it, he would have part of his father's medical expenses covered. His mother wouldn't have to work so hard, and his younger sister could continue her studies in peace.

Without a system, he would have to rely on himself. He would surely make it through this hurdle.

What was there to be afraid of?

Ye Chen, who had a decent tolerance for alcohol, picked up the glass and downed the red wine in one gulp.

Hmm... the taste was a bit strange.

However, Ye Chen had never drunk such expensive red wine before, so he assumed it was supposed to taste like that and didn't pay it any mind.

"Good, straightforward! Drink another glass, and I'll buy the bracelet on your wrist, too." The obese wealthy woman swallowed hard, a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes.

Ye Chen was wearing three items in total, and the bracelet on his wrist was the most expensive, valued at three million.

He would finish after this glass and call it a day.

Ye Chen did not hesitate; he picked up the glass and drained it in one go.

The obese wealthy woman said happily, "Good, let's swipe the card and pay."

After the card was swiped.

Ye Chen took off the necklace from his neck and the bracelet from his wrist, placing them on the obese wealthy woman himself.

The rich lady was something else!

He had just earned 550,000 like that; this money was too easy to make. It was time to leave.

Ye Chen was also feeling a bit excited.

The obese wealthy woman, wearing the necklace and bracelet Ye Chen had personally put on her, was beaming with delight. She raised her chubby hand, intending to stroke the top of Ye Chen's thigh.

Seeing that he was about to be molested again, Ye Chen's expression shifted slightly. He felt his whole body heating up, and something felt very wrong.

"I'll toast you." Ye Chen raised his glass, pretending to offer a toast to block the obese woman's chubby hand, and managed to make her knock the glass over.

The red wine spilled entirely onto Ye Chen's expensive formal wear.

Struggling to stand, Ye Chen dodged the woman's advances and feigned a look of panic and helplessness. "This—what should I do? This suit belongs to the shop, I..."

Looking at Ye Chen's helpless, handsome appearance, the obese wealthy woman felt her maternal instincts and affection overflowing.

"It doesn't matter, how much is this suit worth? Put it on my tab. Here, swipe my card." The obese wealthy woman waved her card generously and said.

Ye Chen curled his lips into a gentle, faint smile and said with a look of gratitude, "Thank you so much. I'll go change my clothes first."

The obese wealthy woman was completely dazed by Ye Chen's faint smile and said with a laugh, "Mhm, go ahead, don't catch a cold."

Seeing the situation on Ye Chen's side, Cheng Tong was afraid that Ye Chen might be taken advantage of, so he hurried over with long strides and said with a smile, "Sister, look, his clothes are all dirty. How about I keep you company for a couple of drinks instead?"

Although Ye Chen was handsome, the obese wealthy woman preferred someone more proactive; for them, spending money was all about having a good time.

The obese wealthy woman glanced at the handsome Cheng Tong and said with a smile, "Fine. If you can make me happy tonight, I'll buy you whatever jewelry you take a fancy to."

As she spoke, the obese wealthy woman reached out and stroked Cheng Tong's young, sturdy thigh.
