Chapter 6: Ways to Earn Money!

The stir in the class group did not cause Xu Musen the slightest bit of emotional fluctuation.

In his previous life, he was already in his forties, long immune to such childish bickering.

He also knew what Yao Mingyue meant; she was reminding him to send her a message to explain or apologize.

But sorry, the current Xu Musen would no longer be fooled by these smelly women!

Having been reborn, who the hell would still act like a lapdog?

He directly set his phone to silent, threw it aside, hummed a tune, and prepared to take a shower and go to bed early that day.

In another villa area.

Yao Mingyue had been staring at the phone screen for quite a while.

In the end, she became somewhat annoyed and embarrassed.

He clearly saw the message from another boy who wanted to pursue her; in the past, he would have definitely started arguing with that boy straightaway.

But this time he remained completely indifferent!

Fine, fine, fine!

You'd better never send me a message again for the rest of your life!

Yao Mingyue's pretty face flushed red with irritation as she angrily stood up.

"Ming Yue, you haven't had dinner yet,"

said the nanny, coming over at this moment.

"I've lost my appetite, I'm not eating."

Yao Mingyue was indeed in a bad mood and turned to go upstairs.

The nanny looked at the table full of dishes, sighed, and took out her phone to make a call.

A few seconds later, an intelligent and elegant mature female voice came through from the other end of the call.

"Hello, what's the matter, Xiao Song?"

"Madam Liu, Ming Yue didn't eat dinner today and she seems to be in a bad mood. It seems to be about..."

"Mm, I know, let's leave it at that for now, I'll go back in a couple of days."

The woman on the phone seemed to already know everything.

In a bustling city center office building, within a spacious office, a tall and curvaceous figure stood by the window.

She was dressed in a custom, pale-colored plum blossom cheongsam, slowly savoring a cup of fragrant tea in her hand.

Cheongsams are very demanding of one's figure, but on her, they perfectly showcased the garment's noble elegance.

The side buttons at the chest were strenuously containing her astonishing fullness, and following her curvaceous outline, there was not a trace of excess fat on her flat abdomen.

Her perky buttocks provided the perfect finish to the silhouette, and the cheongsam's slit was not too high.

Segments of legs, as delicate and fair as a young girl's, were subtly visible, and on her feet were a pair of pale red high heels.

Her face bore a seven or eight out of ten resemblance to Yao Mingyue, only she was clearly more mature, her whole person radiating the intelligent elegance of a mature woman.

Her phoenix eyes, just like Yao Mingyue's, carried a natural nobility. While drinking her tea, she looked in the direction of her home, unable to help but let out a slight sigh.

"My silly daughter, being too excessive is never a good way to end things..."

...

Sunday.

Xu Musen woke up naturally; his parents had already gone out busy with their day.

After cleaning up in the bathroom and looking at himself in the mirror, the eighteen-year-old Xu Musen, at a height of 1.82 meters, with sharp eyebrows and eyes that seemed to shine.

Although not as good-looking as a movie star, his facial features were well-defined, definitely in the handsome category, just his trendy high schooler's bowl haircut detracted a bit from his looks.

Xu Musen, not wearing a shirt, glanced at his slightly thin physique, and thought it was a miracle that he had endured Yao Mingyue's daily torment in his previous life.

Three rebirth essentials: exercise and fitness, educational comeback, change hairstyle.

Indeed, there were some good points.

Coming into the living room, there was still breakfast on the table.

After eating, Xu Musen was collecting the plates when he found a red note hidden underneath.

Xu Musen was stunned for a moment; his parents usually gave him pocket money in increments of ten or twenty yuan.

It seemed that something he said yesterday had made them overthink.

Xu Musen picked up the money; although the family was not in dire straits, they were still frugal.

In society where the average income was two to three thousand, this pocket money was not small at all.

Xu Musen put the money away.

This life, he absolutely could not let his parents worry about money again with furrowed brows every day.

After changing his clothes, Xu Musen picked up his phone, which had been on silent mode all night.

Quite a few people had sent messages to Xu Musen.

Clearly, the aftermath of last night's class group message storm was still brewing.

Of course, they were all various people looking forward to the gossip.

Xu Musen couldn't be bothered with them and directly left the house.

Passing by the villa area, Xu Musen unconsciously glanced at one of the villas.

Yao Mingyue's home.

Xu Musen could even see the pink curtains of her room window. Yesterday's incident must have upset her quite a bit.

They say that for one day as a couple, there's a hundred days of grace, and after all, the two of them had shared a bed for so many years.

Thinking of her possibly tossing and turning last night, unable to sleep because of her anger, Xu Musen felt in his heart...

Why did it feel so comfortable!!

Humming a little tune, Xu Musen left the house, starting to hurry over to He Qiang's place.

However, just as he had just left,

a light suddenly appeared behind the pink curtains.

On closer look, it was actually a pair of binoculars.

Behind the curtains, still in her pajamas, Yao Mingyue bit her lip, watching Xu Musen's retreating figure, a hint of indignant luster emerging in the depths of her eyes.

Normally on weekends, he would always pester her to go shopping together.

She glanced at her phone again. An entire day had passed, and he hadn't sent her any messages!

She knew that Xu Musen was likely off to see He Qiang.

They were boys, so they probably wouldn't...

But, just the thought of the two of them arm in arm set her heart into an unexplained fit of irritation.

Xu Musen's body could only belong to her!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the luster in her eyes seemed almost cannibalistic as she angrily threw the binoculars to the ground.

"Xu Musen! I'm only giving you one last day to regret!"

...

Meanwhile, Xu Musen was sitting on the bus and had arrived at He Qiang's place.

Several fish ponds were nearby, with quite a few cars parked by the road, all there for fishing.

"This way!"

He Qiang, who had already started fishing, waved him over.

"I've rigged the fishing hook for you, pay attention."

Xu Musen walked over and sat down beside him.

"Hey, the incident in the class group chat yesterday was a big deal, even Yao Mingyue sent messages in the group. That's a first."

He Qiang immediately started gossiping, winking at him.

"Oh."

Xu Musen nodded.

"Oh? You don't have any thoughts about it? Yao Mingyue's messages were clearly for you to see!"

"Haven't I already said it? Ming Yue and I have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Xu Musen smiled faintly.

You think I was joking when I said I'd stop fawning over her?

He Qiang's dark face looked at his good buddy and finally clicked his tongue twice, "You're something else. After so many years as childhood sweethearts, to say you've stopped pursuing her and treat her even more coldly than a stranger."

Xu Musen shook his head; dating was really too childish.

His mind was fully occupied with figuring out how to make money.

He Qiang wasn't having good luck today; his line snapped several times as he waited to replace it. Bored, he picked up his phone to play for a bit.

"Damn! This crappy phone always freezes just when it gets to the crucial part. Don't tell me it's running out of memory again."

He Qiang suddenly complained, and Xu Musen leaned over to take a look.

He found him playing KartRider Rush+.

One of the earliest large-scale mobile games with the advent of smartphones.

"It's the phone memory again, not enough. A damn game needs two to three gigs. To play this, I've deleted more than half the apps on my phone."

As he complained, He Qiang tried to think of ways to delete other things to clear up memory.

Xu Musen pointed at his browser: "Why not just delete the five gigs of study material stored here?"

"That won't do!"

He Qiang's face turned black with anger, "That's my treasured collection..."

Xu Musen laughed. Although phones in this era were smart devices, their storage was very limited, some even used SD storage cards, typically around ten gigs or so. With just a few downloads, space really was tight.

"And my phone just lags playing these big games. If only there were a game with small storage requirements that didn't tax the phone's performance..."

He Qiang muttered to himself.

"No downloads, doesn't consume performance..."

Xu Musen repeated these words, and suddenly his eyes lit up, slapping his thigh, "Right!"

"Damn it! What the hell are you freaking out about?!"

He Qiang almost threw his phone into the fish pond from the shock of Xu Musen's shout.

But at that moment, Xu Musen's eyes were shining; a money-making opportunity had finally appeared in his mind!
