Bab 2: Chapter 2 The Hard Bun
"The various signs on this girl's body all indicate that she was struck by lightning."
Doctor Li exclaimed, "It really is a medical miracle that she wasn't killed by the strike..."
Then, Doctor Li said, "She's out of life-threatening danger now, so I will be leaving." He patted Gu Jinshen's shoulder and started packing up his medical kit.
Gu Jinshen escorted him to the door, preparing to take out money from his pocket.
Seeing this, Doctor Li stopped him, "Forget about the medical fee; I don't need that little amount of money."
"Thank you," he said, withdrawing his hand.
Gu Jinshen had started from scratch, finally establishing a foothold in the media industry, but after signing a bet agreement with the Qi Family, he lost completely and went bankrupt overnight.
It would probably be hard for him to make a comeback...
Before Doctor Li left, he glanced at the dilapidated house and heaved a sigh before departing.
This was all the help he could provide.
Gu Jinshen returned to the room, looking at the girl lying on the bed, now with a clean face, and fell into deep thought.
He knew this girl.
Lately, the internet was full of entertainment gossip about her.
Upon waking, Jin Luo found herself on a strange new bed, quite different from the hotel room she stayed in the previous night.
The room was empty, devoid of much furniture, extremely simple.
Then, Jin Luo heard a "squeak" as the door opened.
A young man dressed in black casual clothes came in; he was tall and handsome, with a detached demeanor.
Gu Jinshen was holding a bowl with two shriveled buns on top.
"Awake?" he asked.
Jin Luo looked at the stranger in front of her, curiosity in her eyes.
He was good-looking.
He came over and thrust the bowl with the buns into her hands, "Eat up."
Jin Luo gazed down at the buns in her hands, somewhat hard from sitting for who knows how long, and fell silent, "..."
Although she was a Cat Demon, her standard of living was already on par with humans.
Besides, because she was a Fortune Cat, she even enjoyed better meals than most humans; she had never had to eat such shriveled, rock-hard buns before.
"I only have buns to offer," he seemed to discern her distaste, giving her a 'take it or leave it' look.
Just as Jin Luo was about to throw away the bun in her hand, her stomach made a rumbling noise.
She had forgotten she was living as a human now and couldn't go without food.
In the end, she reluctantly picked up one of the buns and stuffed it into her mouth, biting down.
A "crack~" could be heard.
One of her teeth had broken off.
She yelped in pain and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Gu Jinshen, just about to leave, with his hand on the doorknob, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He turned his head.
Jin Luo looked up awkwardly and smiled, "Your buns are too hard."
Gu Jinshen, "..."
"Um... Do you have any water? I'll soak it before eating."
But his gaze was fixated on the blood at the corner of her mouth...
Seeing this, Jin Luo wiped hastily and continued with an awkward laugh, "It doesn't hurt, it's just that I chipped a front tooth."
"I'll go get you something else to eat..." he seemed somewhat helpless.
Jin Luo's eyes lit up, slightly expectant, "Okay!"
He left and returned a while later with a bag containing a packet of instant noodles.
It seemed he had just bought them from somewhere; two yuan and fifty cents a packet, and he had only bought one.
Turning to the kitchen, he prepared the noodles with boiling water for her; the aroma met her the moment she stepped out of her room, making her mouth water.
Jin Luo sat at the table, looking at the soup bowl in front of her that had a large chip missing.
"Where are those two buns?" he suddenly asked.
Just about to start eating, Jin Luo picked up her chopsticks in a pause, "...I threw them away."
"What?"
"Those two buns were already hard," Jin Luo hesitated.
"Just soak them and you can eat them."
Jin Luo, "..."
She had seen poor, but she had never seen this poor.
No, it seemed a little stingier than that.
But now she was depending on others, having food to eat was already good enough, she couldn't ask for too much.
She devoured the bowl of instant noodles in front of her, soup and all, but she felt she hadn't eaten enough.
However, she felt too embarrassed to ask for more.
She spoke up, "You saved me, I will repay you."
He glanced at her, "How will you repay me?"
"Don't you all love money the most? Of course, I'll repay you with money," Jin Luo said.
"But do you have money?" Gu Jinshen said.
He was currently penniless and indeed in dire need of money.
"I might not have money now, but I will soon," Jin Luo confidently said.
Making money was a breeze for her, a Fortune Cat.
Gu Jinshen leaned back in his chair, "I do have a way for you to make money quickly right now."
"What way?" Jin Luo was interested. Was there really an even faster way to make money than her automatic Wealth Inviting? She had to see it for herself.
"Continue with your old line of work," he said.
"Old line of work? You mean keep being an internet celebrity?"
"More or less," Gu Jinshen said.
She didn't ask why, she just agreed immediately.
Jin Luo was a Fortune Cat that had practiced for five hundred years. She had finally been about to take human form, but due to failure in her Tribulation, she was struck into a book.
She was currently unable to open a portal to the Demon Clan, so she could only temporarily live in the human world using a human identity.
In a five-star hotel.
President Liu, portly in build, was stuck with his head trapped under the bed, unable to move, with only a pained groan left in his mouth.
Two bodyguards entered and saw their boss in that state, they were so frightened they hurriedly dragged him out from under the bed.
President Liu stretched out a trembling, chubby finger and gritted his teeth with all his might, "Find her... bring her... to me!"
Meanwhile, in the dilapidated house, Jin Luo received a call from Banana Platform.
"Jin Luo! What did you do in the hotel?" The person in charge sounded very loud, and apparently quite furious.
"Ate fish," Jin Luo, though unhappy with his tone, reported the truth.
The person on the other end was taken aback, "...Anything else?"
"Played hide and seek."
The person in charge was confused, struggling to follow her train of thought.
"That's all? Nothing else?"
"In the end, he wanted to eat me, so I got angry," Jin Luo huffed through her nose, still seething.
"Jin Luo, we're all adults here. If not for President Liu, where would I get resources for you?" the person in charge frowned.
"Cats eat fish, not the other way around. It's lucky for him I didn't eat him," Jin Luo suddenly snapped.
The person in charge paused, "..."
What the heck?
He suddenly remembered he had serious business with her, not to chit-chat, "I don't care what you did to President Liu in the hotel, he's really angry now. You'd better go to him and apologize, pronto."
"Not going," Jin Luo sharply hung up the phone.
The person in charge immediately felt a pain in his chest, seething at how a mere internet star dared to defy him. Does she still think she was as popular as before?
Not willing to let it go, he dialed again, "Jin Luo, if you don't go, the consequences will be serious," he threatened.
