In the living room, Liu Ruyan sat calmly on the sofa, spreading out the late-night snacks she brought on the table, along with two bottles of wine. She smiled at Li Fan and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? I brought you some barbecue and cold dishes."

Li Fan sat down on a single sofa, crossed his arms, leaned against the armrest, and smiled, "Weren't you supposed to be on a date with Fatty Kou? Why did you come here?"

Liu Ruyan paused in her busy actions, slowly raised her head, and then quickly lowered it slightly. Pretending not to dare look directly at Li Fan, she lightly bit her lip, with a shy yet charming expression, and said, "Actually, I don't like Kou Peng. The one I like is you. I've noticed you for a long time but never knew how to get to know you. You're good friends with Kou Peng, and I didn't want to make things difficult for you, but I just can't stop thinking about you. I think I should muster the courage to pursue my own happiness. Li Fan, can you be my boyfriend?"

Li Fan got goosebumps all over and couldn't listen any longer. He directly retorted, "Stop, stop, stop. Be your boyfriend? Does Xie Debiao agree?"

Liu Ruyan hurriedly explained, "You misunderstood, Debiao and I are just friends."

"Alright, we're both old foxes here. Why are you playing tricks with me?"

"I really..."

"How much money did you borrow from Xie Debiao?"

"I..."

"How many times did you sleep with him?"

"You..."

"What positions do you usually use?"

"You..."

"Are you on top, or is he?"

"I..."

"Oh, you're on top, huh? Playing it wild, huh, Goddess of Mercy."

"You're too much!"

Liu Ruyan couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up, her face extremely ugly. Some things, as long as no one knew, she could still maintain her goddess persona. But being exposed face-to-face made her feel ashamed and angry. She thought Li Fan was just an ordinary college junior, lucky to be adopted by a short-lived wealthy couple, and should be easy to manipulate. She didn't expect Li Fan to be like a venomous snake, with every word a deadly strike, stripping away all those unspeakable things.

Liu Ruyan wanted to curse out loud and storm out, but thinking about the one-month deadline, the hundred thousand high-interest loan, and the bed video in Xie Debiao's hands, her legs felt like they were filled with lead.

Seeing her angry yet unable to leave, Li Fan understood, chuckled, took a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and said, "Stop pretending! Didn't you say you liked me? Haha."

Seeing Li Fan's mocking smile, Liu Ruyan's resentment grew, and she shouted, "What gives you the right to say that about me?"

"Angry, huh? You want to work in the service industry and build a landmark building at the same time. The door's right there, go ahead! I'm not stopping you."

Liu Ruyan picked up her bag and turned to leave, but just as she reached the door, Li Fan's voice rang out.

"Oh, by the way, when you start working at Red Romance, remember to give me a heads up. I'll bring Fatty Kou to support you, make sure to give us a discount."

Li Fan knew that many female college students at Xie Debiao's nightclub were trapped by loans. Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's foot, which had just stepped out, retracted, and tears overflowed from her eyes. She closed the door and returned to the living room, standing in front of Li Fan, crying and begging, "Li Fan, please help me. Lend me a hundred thousand yuan, I'll pay it back. Debiao only gave me a month, and if I can't repay it, he'll force me to work at his nightclub."

"Lend you a hundred thousand? How are you going to pay it back?"

Hearing Li Fan say this, Liu Ruyan seemed to grab a lifeline after falling into the water and hurriedly said, "I, I, I'll repay you with myself! You can do whatever you want."

Liu Ruyan had already prepared to sacrifice herself and began to undress after speaking. Li Fan looked at Liu Ruyan's pretty, fair face. To be honest, Liu Ruyan was very beautiful, at least at the level of a class beauty. But alas, a good person turned into a thief.

This made Li Fan think of Fatty Kou. He wondered what Fatty Kou would think if he saw his goddess of three years in this state. In fact, in the first two stages before Doomsday in the previous life, Fatty Kou survived and was reportedly with an art student. In the end, Fatty Kou turned into a zombie, but the art student survived and went to the Sichuan base. If Li Fan guessed correctly, that student was Liu Ruyan.

While Li Fan was lost in thought, Liu Ruyan had already stripped down to just a set of lingerie, even putting on black stockings, leaving nothing to the imagination. Although Li Fan was still a virgin, he couldn't get excited about a woman like Liu Ruyan. In a teasing tone, he commented on Liu Ruyan's body, "Nice figure, potential to be an empress. Come, turn around, let me see."

Liu Ruyan's face lit up with joy. She quickly puffed out her chest, turned around, and then walked towards Li Fan, thinking, "Men really do think with their lower halves."

But before Liu Ruyan could get close, Li Fan said, "Too bad, the grapes are purple."

This sentence was like a bolt of lightning, instantly waking Liu Ruyan up. From the beginning, Li Fan was just toying with her. The disdain in his eyes made Liu Ruyan feel like a burnt steak. Her confidence and dignity were shattered by Li Fan at this moment, leaving her standing there pale and stunned.

Li Fan, with a cigarette in his right hand, used his left hand to lift Liu Ruyan's chin and said, "Doesn't feel good, huh? When you toy with others' feelings, that's how they feel."

Liu Ruyan knew she couldn't handle Li Fan with her current level of skill and asked, "What do I have to do for you to lend me the money? What do I need to do?"

Li Fan released her, clapped his hands, and laughed, "That's more like it. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Your looks aren't worth a hundred thousand to me, but if you do something for me, I'll give you a hundred and twenty thousand!"

"What is it?"

Li Fan took out his phone, opened WeChat, and indicated for Liu Ruyan to add him. He then transferred twenty thousand yuan to her and said, "Book a room at the Manhattan Hotel, wait for Fatty Kou to show up, and take good care of him. Make sure he walks out leaning against the wall, spitting blood. After it's over, tell him I paid you a hundred and twenty thousand to accompany him."

Liu Ruyan looked at Li Fan in confusion and asked, "Is it that simple?"

"That simple. After it's done, I'll transfer the remaining hundred thousand to you."

Seeing Liu Ruyan's eyes darting around, Li Fan smiled and said, "Don't try to be clever. Once you're in the room, start a video call with me. I'll supervise!"

Liu Ruyan immediately put away her little schemes, got dressed, and as she reached the door, she turned back and asked, "Why are you doing this?"

Seeing Li Fan impatiently waving her away without answering, Liu Ruyan closed the door and left.

Li Fan looked at the night sky outside the window and muttered to himself, "Why? For three years of friendship. No matter what Kou Peng decides afterward, it's for my own peace of mind."

If there was anyone in this world Li Fan could call a friend, it would be Fatty Kou. This was to let Fatty Kou see clearly what kind of person the goddess he had admired for years really was.

Half an hour later, Liu Ruyan sent a message: "Room 1201, Manhattan Hotel."

Li Fan picked up the phone and dialed Kou Peng's number: "Fatty Kou, what are you doing?"

"In the dorm. Depressed and bored. You abandoned your old man, do you have any conscience?"

"Got some good news for you."

"Oh, really? What's the good news? Spill it."

"Come to Room 1201 at the Manhattan Hotel. I have a surprise for you."

"A surprise? What kind of surprise?"

"Just come, you'll see. Don't come, and you'll regret it."

After saying that, Li Fan hung up. Knowing Kou Peng, he would definitely go.

Sure enough, an hour later, Liu Ruyan called with a video call. Li Fan answered, and the sound of the doorbell came through the phone. Liu Ruyan said, "Li Fan, I hope you keep your word."

"Do you have a choice?"

Liu Ruyan helplessly placed the phone next to her bag, just in the right position to capture most of the room centered on the bed. Then the sound of the door opening and conversation could be heard.

"Ruyan, why is it you?"

"Come in."

Then Liu Ruyan was seen pulling the bewildered Kou Peng. Until Liu Ruyan pushed him onto the bed, Kou Peng was still like a fool.

"You, this, I..."

Before Kou Peng could finish, Liu Ruyan took a few deep breaths, sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed his thick lips with her cherry-like mouth.

Kou Peng, being a virgin, couldn't withstand such an offensive from his goddess. His animal instincts were instantly ignited. Moments later, they were both bare.

Kou Peng made a pounce, his 190-pound round body covering Liu Ruyan's petite frame. From the video, only Liu Ruyan's limbs could be seen trembling.

The following scenes were quite eye-searing. I don't know if you want to see it, but Li Fan didn't want to watch any longer, as it was about to cross the line.

He tossed the phone aside and, with a nervous heart, took out the hot water he had placed in the Alternate Space an hour ago. When Li Fan saw the thermometer still showing 91 degrees, he jumped up excitedly, thinking, "The temperature hasn't changed at all, which means there's no time dimension in the Alternate Space. That means I don't have to worry about food storage, nor do I have to keep going back and forth. Especially during the third phase of the great migration, food reserves are even more important. But currently, funds are running low, and there are still many supplies that haven't been purchased. Especially after opening the Materials Laboratory, using it to modify weapons and clothes, or even future vehicles, requires a massive amount of resources."

After pondering for a while, he realized that apart from zero-cost purchases, there was no other way. But now, in peacetime, a zero-cost purchase could land him in jail. So the idea of zero-cost purchases was suppressed by reason again.

Then Li Fan put all the various medicines and medical equipment he had purchased into the Alternate Space. After thinking for a moment, he also put a tablet he usually used for watching dramas into the control room of the Alternate Space, to keep Little Ran entertained.
