Give Me Another Smile

Chapter 147: Old Monster

At 10 PM, at a certain engineering university

Wen Tao stormed out of the university's back entrance, muttering curses to himself while clutching his phone. He wore a blue and white striped headband on his forehead, with his wet and messy bangs clinging to his face.

A black sedan was parked in the shadows of the back entrance, the car having the character "" encased in a circle as its logo.

"What the heck is wrong with you?! Where do you want me to go so late at night?" Wen Tao angrily opened the door to the passenger seat and got in. He had just finished a basketball game in the gym. Yet, before he could receive the towels and drinks offered to him by a bunch of pretty girls, a certain someone had called him on the phone, telling him to come to meet up at the back entrance.

Li Beining remained silent, not uttering a word as Wen Tao kept complaining.

By the time Wen Tao grew tired of complaining, Li Beining had already driven the car onto an elevated bridge, heading for an unknown location. Wen Tao was very upset by Li Beining's silence. However, he also couldn't help but feel a little unnerved.

"What are you up to? Why aren't you talking?" Wen Tao nervously asked. Could this guy be planning something dangerous, such as killing him and dumping his body somewhere in the wilderness?!

"I broke up with my girlfriend. Accompany me for a drink," Li Beining said.

Wen Tao: ?!

Although Wen Tao desperately wanted to ask, "When the hell did you get a girlfriend?" he held back from doing so upon realizing that it was none of his business.

"Whatever. Just make sure to send me back early tomorrow morning. I have classes to attend." Wen Tao didn't throw a tantrum anymore, quietly propping up his chin and staring at the brightly lit city streets passing by outside the window.

Wen Tao was already dozing off by the time the car stopped next to a beach, his head repeatedly tapping against the window.

After parking the car, Li Beining grabbed his suit jacket from the back seat and covered Wen Tao with it. Then, he carefully pushed away the stray hair poking at Wen Tao's eyelids, a touch of warmth appearing in his indifferent eyes.

Li Beining got out of the car but kept the door open. After grabbing several cans of beer from the cooler in the trunk, he sat down on the soft fine sand and quietly observed the scattered crowds dotting the beach. There were several barbecue grills set up, and he could smell the smell of grilled meat even from far away.

An untimely ringtone broke the silence of the night. Li Beining held up his phone and glanced at it before answering.

"Li Beiyu is with me." A cold and clear voice came through the phone.

"Oh."

"... " The person on the other end seemed surprised by Li Beining's reaction. After chuckling softly, the person said, "Aren't you afraid I'll do something to her?"

"You've had your eye on her for more than just a few days. The old man likes you a lot, so he'll probably close an eye for you," Li Beining said as he calmly lit a cigarette and squinted at the night sky.

"She'll probably cry her eyes out if she learns that you people are using her for a deal," the voice on the other end teased.

Li Beining paused for a moment. Then, he flicked his cigarette ash and said, "Be good to her. Don't hurt her."

"...I don't need you to remind me."

After the person on the other end hung up the phone, Li Beining put down his phone and slowly exhaled a ring of smoke.

Luo Sanyi walked into the bedroom with a straight face and casually tossed her phone aside.

The lights in the room were off, but the faint moonlight that shone through the window still revealed the contents of the room, including the unconscious girl on the bed.

Approaching the unconscious girl, Luo Sanyi gently slid her long and slender fingers across the girl's face, her sharp fingernails looking like they would leave a bloody mark on the fair skin so long as she applied even a little more force.

Luo Sanyi gently tapped the unconscious girl's forehead, causing the other party to awaken gradually.

With a light touch on the brow, the sleeping person gradually awakened and rubbed their eyes in a daze, looking blankly into space.

When Li Beiyu gradually awakened and looked around blankly while rubbing her eyes, Luo Sanyi had already hidden in the shadows, silently watching Li Beiyu fumble around on the bed.

"Is it you? The one from three years ago, in the bar, in that storage room." Li Beiyu called out. Her vision was pitch black, and she was unable to see anything. She thought she was in a windowless basement or a dark room, but unbeknownst to her, a cloud of black mist currently covered her eyes.

Li Beiyu groped around with her hand as she climbed out of bed and walked around the room. When her fingertips came into contact with an icy glass window, she subconsciously retracted her hand. Then, without warning, she used her elbow to smash the glass. The next second, though, she experienced sudden weightlessness as her body fell through the window and descended rapidly.

Luo Sanyi sighed at this sight and flew out to catch the falling girl, bringing her back to the room. Then, with a snap of her fingers, the room brightened, and even the shattered floor-to-ceiling window returned to its original state as if it had never been broken.

Li Beiyu's heart pounded like thunder, the whistling wind still echoing in her ears, reminding her that she had nearly died just now. Fortunately, the darkness in front of her gradually dissipated, and the furnishings in the room became clearer.

As soon as Li Beiyu could see her surroundings, her breath got caught in her throat. The fear that had been buried deep in her heart for many years once again engulfed her like a storm.

It was this room again. Butsomething was different

Li Beiyu grabbed the person next to her quickly and threw her onto the bed with great force, choking her neck with all her might.

If it were a normal person, they would probably have lost half their life by now, but the person in front of her not only felt no discomfort but instead elegantly curled up her red lips at her.

A provocation! It was a blatant provocation!

"Speak! Who are you? Otherwise, I'll kill you right now!" Li Beiyu straddled the woman in front of her, using both hands to squeeze the woman's neck as if doing so could ease her anxiety.

"Wearing a short skirt while doing this" Luo Sanyi let her words trail off as she looked at Li Beiyu's exposed thighs with a meaningful look. Then, she lazily continued, "...is very dangerous."

Her anger stoked, Li Beiyu instinctively reached for the small dagger she carried around her thigh, only to find it missing.

"Are you looking for this?" Luo Sanyi, who had slipped out from Li Beiyu's thighs without Li Beiyu's realization, asked as she stood by the bed playing with the small dagger that gave off a cold glint.

"Fuck! Are you a monster?!" Li Beiyu cursed, shocked by how Luo Sanyi had escaped her hold without her noticing.

Luo Sanyi suddenly leaned forward, the pupils in her blue eyes gradually shrinking as she whispered, "Bingo."

Yin Zhao-an suddenly sneezed, and she couldn't help but scratch her itching nose as she looked at the half-finished exam paper before her with slightly moist eyes.

Little did she know, all her friends had someone to accompany them tonight, and she was the only one alone. If she knew, she would have called her wife, who was thousands of miles away and cried to her on the phone.

The sky brightened, and sunlight seeped in through the thin curtains to expose a bedroom that had experienced a night of passion.

A pair of dark-gray ears trembled in a tangled mess of black hair as the person with a pair of blue eyes woke up leisurely. Upon seeing the person in her arms, Luo Sanyi rubbed her face against the other party's face before tightening her embrace.

After a night of crying, Li Beiyu's eyes became a little swollen. There were even tears still left in the corners of her eyes. Awakened by Luo Sanyi's actions, Li Beiyu opened her eyes to see a pair of furry ears joyfully shaking in front of her, the sight enraging her and causing her to give Luo Sanyi a merciless punch.

The punch was truly one without mercy, the pain causing Luo Sanyi's sleepiness to vanish completely. Then, she grabbed the paws of the person in her embrace, preventing the other party from attacking her any further.

"Get lost, you old monster!" Li Beiyu angrily kicked at Luo Sanyi, only for Luo Sanyi's legs to clamp down on hers. Then, before she could struggle any further, she heard a low voice threatening her:

"You better not move, or you won't be able to leave this bed today."

Li Beiyu: "..."

"I want to find my brother. I want to tell my uncle. I'm going to have them kill you... Uu..." Li Beiyu cried again. She cried very loudly.

Luo Sanyi held her forehead. She had already listened to Li Beiyu cry the entire night, so she wasn't interested in hearing any more crying.

"Stop crying. If you cry again, I will go eat your brother," Luo Sanyi threatened as she bared her sharp fangs.

Li Beiyu suppressed her sobbing. Then, looking at Luo Sanyi skeptically, she asked, "Can you really eat him?"

Luo Sanyi: "..." Was that the point?!

By now, Li Beiyu was already certain the old monster in front of her didn't dare to harm her. She had tried to commit suicide several times last night, but Luo Sanyi stopped her every time. Even when frustrated, Luo Sanyi didn't do anything harmful to her, except eat her up completely...

Suddenly, Li Beiyu's stomach rumbled. Carefully holding her pitiful stomach, Li Beiyu softly said, "I'm hungry."

"I'll make breakfast." Luo Sanyi quickly got up but suddenly fell down again.

Seeing Luo Sanyi grimace, Li Beiyu asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"You are lying on my tail."

After seeing Luo Sanyi leave the room while scratching her hair and wagging her tail, Li Beiyu breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the bed.

Not only did she come across a supernatural existence, but the other party was even a pervert!

Shifting in bed, Li Beiyu reached for her phone and dialed Li Beining's number.

Li Beining seemed to be in a meeting and hung up her call, only replying with a text message.

Luo Sanyi is my father's business partner and won't harm you, don't worry.

"What the hell?!" Li Beiyu nearly cried out of anger. She believed she had been kidnapped for ransom. She had even resolved to kill herself to avoid becoming a burden to her family. But, everything was actually planned??

She should have let Luo Sanyi eat Li Beining instead!

Tang Yu had just finished class and was packing up her books when a mature-looking girl approached her.

"Tang Yu, do you have time? I have something to tell you."

Tang Yu looked at the almost empty classroom and nodded, setting her books on the desk.

"Um, I'm the president of the school's dubbing club. I went to the Mandarin testing station before to help the teacher adjust the headphones and happened to hear you taking your speaking test. I think your voice matches the female lead in the script we're currently working on, so I wanted to ask if you have any interest in joining us," the mature-looking girl asked as she looked at Tang Yu tentatively, her eyes filled with hope and nervousness.

"If you don't mind that I have no dubbing experience, maybe I can give it a try." Tang Yu said politely.

The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, her face full of joy. "Really? That's great! Let's add each other on WeChat. My name is Hu Siyue, a sophomore in Broadcasting Department."

Tang Yu took out her phone and scanned Hu Siyue's WeChat QR code. Hu Siyue's profile picture was a cute little cat. After adding the other party to her list of contacts, Tang Yu added a "Senior" remark.

Hu Siyue was visibly excited after successfully exchanging contact information with Tang Yu. Joyfully, she said, "I'll add you to our group chat and send you the script afterward. Thank you so much. We've been looking for the female lead for almost half a month, and luckily we found you."

"No problem, senior sister. I am honored to help, and I look forward to your guidance," Tang Yu spoke humbly, behaving neither arrogantly nor overly eager.

Hu Siyue picked up her crystal-studded purse and walked out with a light step. Just as she was stepping out the door, she said, "I'll go find the members and inform them of the good news! Bye-bye!"

Tang Yu smiled and watched Hu Siyue leave the classroom. Then, she picked up her books and left the classroom in a happy mood.

She genuinely loved the dubbing club's activities, so she felt fortunate that certain developments in her previous life remained the same in this life.
