The gloomy and damp rental room, Wan Tong was wiping the sweat from her forehead and bending down to mop the floor.
The wooden floor was covered in patches of dust, and it seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time.
The original owner was working on a thesis, died suddenly in front of the computer, and went unnoticed for three days until Wan Tong arrived.
Finding the room too dirty, Wan Tong’s first task upon waking up was to clean.
The original owner, named Jin Wantong, had always been unlucky. Anyone around her would suffer misfortune.
She was orphaned at a young age and later abandoned by her adoptive parents who met with troubles. Jin Wantong managed to support herself by working part-time while studying.
Despite people around her thinking she brought bad luck, her looks, figure, and charisma made her stand out wherever she went.
Many daring guys approached her, eager to test if she was indeed a jinx. She agreed to date them, but their relationships often ended in various accidents before the third day.
Her last boyfriend, who broke up with her three days ago, got into a car accident on the same day and almost lost a limb. Fearing further misfortune, he ended the relationship.
Jin Wantong recorded the ninth person in her notebook, marked with a big cross. This boyfriend lasted five days, which was considered good.
While cleaning, someone knocked on the door, startling Wan Tong. The rental room was simple, with only a wooden door. She hesitated to open, asking, “Who is it?”
The knocking stopped after hearing her voice, and after a while, a pleasant male voice said, “Geng Yue.”
Geng Yue, the boss in this world, was also the roommate of the original owner’s ex-boyfriend.
Although the original owner had seen him once from a distance, they hadn’t interacted much.
Surprised, Wan Tong asked as she opened the door, “What are you here for?”
A tall figure stood at the door, the boss still had the same face, with his distinctive features, deep eyes, and unique aura.
Although she couldn’t be sure, Wan Tong sometimes felt like she was the Wantongs in these worlds, resurrected due to some circumstances, experiencing different lives.
Expressionless, Geng Yue lifted a bag of fruits in his hand. “Lin Congying asked me to check on you.”
Lin Congying was her ex-boyfriend.
Wan Tong blinked, finding it hard to believe that her ex-boyfriend, who wanted to distance himself from her, would send someone to check on her.
“Do you want to come in and sit for a while?”
The reason the original owner lived outside of campus was that she believed her roommates despised and feared her because of her supposed bad luck.
The original owner was isolated, so she could only rent a house and live alone outside.
Fortunately, she had a scholarship and a part-time job.
Geng Yue’s Adam’s apple slid up and down, nodded stiffly, “Is it okay?”
His dark and deep eyes stared at Wan Tong.
She had become much thinner.
She hadn’t come to school for three days.
He secretly sent harassing messages to her with a new number, visited her workplace, and even secretly inquired about her from her landlord. However, there was no response from her. In his panic, he rushed over, and he bought the fruits on the way when they were downstairs.
Wan Tong had just cleaned up, feeling that there was nothing indecent, so she nodded and stepped aside.
Geng Yue was also a prominent figure in S University. After graduating from high school, he entered one of the top computer science colleges in the country. In the second year, he debuted as a member of a boyband, capturing countless hearts of young girls.
Every time he returned to school, he was surrounded by fans, both male and female, in a frenzy.
In the world’s plot, although Geng Yue debuted as a boyband singer, he also excelled academically. Before graduating from university, he started a gaming company and established an esports club.
It was later revealed that he was originally a poor guy from a rural background. Stories of his inspirational journey spread, greatly increasing his popularity.
The boss smoothly sailed through his life, yes, but ended up lonely.
In the first half of his life, he focused on making money, and in the second half, he dedicated himself to charity. In his old age, he gave an interview, mentioning that he had liked a girl in his youth who had passed away early. He never forgot her, and no other woman could enter his heart.
This interview caused a sensation, even among the younger generation, and they began to like and admire him because of it.
Wan Tong thought that the girl he mentioned might be her.
In that moment just now, she clearly saw the starlight in Geng Yue’s eyes.
The boss in this world must be gentle and passionate.
Geng Yue, tall and sturdy, standing in the cramped rental room, appeared even more uneasy.
Wan Tong washed an apple and handed it to him, “Do you want to eat?”
As she spoke, she took a bite of another apple in her hand.
Geng Yue stared at the apple, reached out to take it, but didn’t bite into it.
“Lin Congying had a car accident and is in the hospital,” he said in a low voice, keeping an eye on her expression.
He didn’t know that Lin Congying had pursued Wan Tong, and when he found out, the two had already been dating for two days.
Lin Congying was proudly showing off that he successfully pursued the English department’s campus beauty.
“I know, he called me, and we’ve broken up,” Wan Tong said casually, without a care in the world.
Anyway, her ex-boyfriends were just for testing purposes, and now she’s sure that this body is really unlucky.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had so many boyfriends who all met with accidents. Although no one died, it was scary enough.
Among all her relationships, the one with Lin Congying ended in a car accident, the most serious one.
In other words, the longer one stay with her, the more unlucky they might become?
Wan Tong silently looked at Geng Yue, then turned to address him, “Geng Yue, you can leave.”
The Raider in this world is named Zhong Yuheng, an assistant in Geng Yue’s boyband group.
Because of the busy tasks as an assistant, this Raider has not taken any measures in the six months since entering this world.
Currently, she appears to be a diligent assistant, with no intention of hindering the plot or the development of the boss.
And the favorability of the boss towards her is not very high, maintained at 30.
Wan Tong stood up, pointed to the bag of fruits, and continued, “Take the fruits with you. I have nothing to do with Lin Congying anymore, so don’t come looking for me.”
She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then stuffed the remaining half of the apple in her hand into his, pushing him out.
Geng Yue pursed his lips, a bag hanging on his wrist, holding apples in both hands, looking somewhat helpless, with a hint of grievance.
Wan Tong felt a bit sorry, but thinking about her current unlucky physique, she still pushed him out of the door and closed it.
She didn’t hear any movement outside for a long time. After a while, she quietly opened a crack in the door, peeking outside.
Not looking would have been better. As soon as she saw the scene, Wan Tong was stunned, and a blush appeared on her face.
Geng Yue slightly turned to the side, lowered his head without revealing his thoughts. Suddenly, he brought the half-eaten apple she had consumed to his lips, then pursed his lips…
Ahhhh!
This boss is really a pervert!
Wan Tong closed the door, leaned against it, and gasped her breathing. She just entered this world, only to discover such a thrilling scene. It’s almost life-threatening.
Considering her unfortunate physique, Wan Tong asked Shishi, [Is there no way to change my luck?]
[The richer you are, the luckier you are.] Shishi replied.
Wan Tong sat on the bed feeling sulky, wanting to eat something, but found nothing in her room.
Although she had been frugal with herself before, she had a considerable amount of money in her bank account. With a scholarship for a school year and a study grant of several thousand, plus her part-time job, she already had fifty thousand in savings.
While Wan Tong was lost in thought about her empty stomach, her fully charged phone vibrated. It was filled with missed calls from the past three days and messages.
The alarm also reminded her of the upcoming part-time job as an English tutor, followed by a part-time job as a calligraphy teacher, and then a part-time job as a ukulele teacher…
Without much thought, Wan Tong changed into a decent outfit, stuffing two more sets of clothes into her big bag.
Different part-time jobs require different attires.
