Deng Yinyue became increasingly alarmed as she listened. Wasn't this script the standard script for a villainous female supporting character?

She was incredibly kind as a child, saving a little beggar. But after growing up, she underwent a genetic mutation and became extremely vicious for the sake of a man.

To repay a debt of gratitude, the little beggar becomes completely subservient to the vicious female supporting character, and the two join forces to defeat the female lead.

The little beggar has two possible outcomes: either he repents, realizes his mistakes, and becomes the heroine's subordinate.

A sudden realization usually comes when someone discovers they've mistaken someone else for someone else; the person who fed them when they were a child wasn't the villainous female supporting character, but the female lead.

Another possible outcome is that he remains unrepentant and is killed by the female lead.

The fate of the villainous female supporting character is much simpler: she either dies or is maimed.

The new Deng Yin doesn't have the old Deng Yin's memory, and is unsure if she really saved a little beggar, so she can only take emergency evasive action.

"I don't remember this. Could it be that you've mistaken me for someone else?"

Qiu Qingyu immediately panicked. "Impossible! I have a very good memory, I could never mistake someone for someone else! Besides..."

"It's you."

Hearing what the other side said, Deng Yin could basically confirm that the local Deng Yin had indeed saved such a little beggar.

"Anyway, I'm telling you, I don't have this memory. If you find out later that you've mistaken me for someone else, don't blame me."

Now that's settled, even if the other person really did have a brain fart and mistook her for someone else, it's not her fault.

Qiu Qingyu nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Her eyes were so bright that when Deng Yin looked into them, he felt as if the stars in the sky were in her eyes.

So sparkly...

Deng finished the cucumber in a few bites, then got up and dusted off his bottom.

"I'm going back to sleep now. You can go back to your room and eat."

"it is good!"

Qiu Qingyu got up before dawn; to be precise, she hadn't slept all night.

I thought Deng Yin was just being modest, after all, which rich family doesn't have servants to clean their house from time to time?

Even in houses that are not lived in, someone cleans them regularly.

But Deng Yin's house looked like it hadn't been cleaned in over a year.

The way to a person's heart is through their stomach.

What could be happier than having a hot breakfast after a good night's sleep?

The kitchen brought Qiu Qingyu a far greater shock than the bedroom.

The walls were covered in cobwebs, and the pot was covered in a thick layer of ash, with no trace of food in sight.

No wonder Deng Yin fed her this last night.

Qiu Qingyu had seen hundreds, if not thousands, of kitchens, but none of them, whether poor or rich, were as dirty as this!

If you can afford to spend so much money to buy such a big house, why can't you hire two more people to clean it?

Dirty kitchen utensils are easy to clean; just wash the pot. But it's not so easy when there are no ingredients.

Qiu Qingyu was, after all, a beggar and didn't have enough money to buy ingredients.

But if you want to go home with Deng Yin, the emotional appeal you've played so far isn't enough.

Qiu Qingyu sat at the kitchen doorway, wondering if there was any way to win Deng Yin's heart in a short time.

Relying on cooking? You'd need to have ingredients at home at the very least.

Relying on a hero to save the damsel in distress? This tactic has already been used once.

Now that things have come to this, that's the only option left...

Qiu Qingyu sat outside Deng Yin's room the whole time so that she could keep track of Deng Yin's movements.

It's already past 9 AM! And she still hasn't gotten up!

Qiu Qingyu even suspected that something had happened to her. She pressed her hand against the door, and with just a little force, she could tell whether Deng Yin was alive or dead.

The next second, the door opened.

Qiu Qingyu quickly put her hands behind her back, but then felt that the gesture was too deliberate, so she reached out and waved to Deng Yin.

"Good morning."

Deng Yin had been awake for half a day and had even finished breakfast.

She only remembered that there was such a person when she saw Qiu Qingyu greeting her.

Good morning, what a coincidence, I just opened the door and saw you.

Qiu Qingyu ignored the sarcastic tone in Deng Yin's voice and knelt down in front of him.

Deng Yin squatted on the ground, his eyes meeting Qiu Qingyu's.

"What are you doing?"

Qiu Qingyu looked at Deng Yin with a sincere expression and said, "If it weren't for you, I might not be alive today. So please let me follow you from now on. I want to repay you."

Deng Yin tilted his head, curled the corners of his mouth, and put his right hand on Qiu Qingyu's shoulder.

"Repay me? What can a beggar like you possibly repay me for?"

Upon seeing Deng Yin again, the system said, "Why are you still insulting people?"

Qiu Qingyu grasped Deng Yin's hand that was resting on her shoulder and said, "How do you want to repay me? I'll agree to anything."

Deng Yin didn't hear Qiu Qingyu's words; she was busy arguing with the system in her mind.

Deng Yin: "Is this an insult? If I keep her by my side, I should at least provide her with food and lodging. What's the difference between this and hiring a servant? She put in the effort and got rewarded. Isn't this a form of repayment?"

System: "Why doesn't it count? With your temper, even if someone wanted to be a servant, they wouldn't want to work for you. You should be grateful that someone is willing."

Deng Yin: "Don't talk nonsense. If I announce these conditions, people who want to be my servants will line up all the way to the capital."

System: "Our system lives on energy, we don't talk nonsense, so don't spread rumors. What are your conditions? Food and lodging? These days, even raising a pig requires food and lodging, let alone a person."

Deng Yin: "I'm telling you, your words are as good as farts. What's wrong with my conditions? Look around, which household has servants as idle as mine? One feeds the horses, another cooks, and they only clean occasionally. Do you know how expensive food is outside these days? My family has ten or more dishes for a meal, and the servants even eat with their masters. Which household has servants with better food than mine?"

Seeing that Deng Yin hadn't spoken for a long time, Qiu Qingyu assumed that Deng Yin was dissatisfied with her.

Does that mean she doesn't like this type of girl?

That shouldn't be the case. Qiu Qingyu has been a seasoned player in the dating scene for years. She's met all kinds of people and has never failed to win someone over.

Qiu Qingyu frowned, and large tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I have no parents, and you are the only one who is good to me. If you don't want me either, I might as well be dead."

Qiu Qingyu intensified her crying, determined to evoke Deng Yin's pity.

Deng Yin remained unmoved.

Qiu Qingyu couldn't cry anymore, so she steeled herself and hugged Deng Yin tightly.

It was Deng Yin's turn to speak this round, and this hug disrupted his thoughts, causing him to abruptly stop cursing the system.

Deng Yin felt the tears falling on his neck; they were hot, as if they could burn a hole in someone.

Deng Yin pushed Qiu Qingyu away and placed his hands on her shoulders.

"What are you doing?"

Qiu Qingyu stopped crying, her anger almost showing on her face.

Even in this state, Deng Yin acts as if he didn't hear a word!

Qiu Qingyu, a beautiful woman, shed tears, her nose slightly red, and her soft sobs were melodious and touching.

“I just want to repay you. I know I’m useless, I can’t even support myself.” Qiu Qingyu’s tears kept falling as she spoke, her voice trembling with sobs. “But please believe me, if you need me, I would do anything for you, even if it meant my death, I wouldn’t hesitate.”

Touched? Fall in love with me? Take me home now!
