I'm terminally ill, and all they give me is a matchmaking system?

"And today's incident is also my fault. I failed to make proper arrangements beforehand. I'm sorry, Ah Tian!"

But Wan Guangyao's words did not stop the students from mocking Lin Tian; on the contrary...

They're all getting too big for their britches.

Just like Lin Tian, ​​who was still that poor country boy in the class who was bullied by everyone.

"Guangyao! You're from the city, after all. Although you lived in the countryside for a while when you were little, you and Lin Tian are from different worlds. Why are you protecting him like this? Did he save your life in a past life?"

"Exactly! Lin Tian, ​​you should be responsible for your actions. How can you let your good friends take the blame for you one after another?"

They all blamed Lin Tian, ​​saying no one cared about him.

Lin Tian stood up abruptly without saying a word.

Lin Tian, ​​who was about to leave this ridiculous banquet, suddenly heard a system notification:

[Ding! New mission received! Please confess your feelings to your former classmate Liu Mingrou and ask her out.]

The rewards and penalties for this mission are clearly defined.

[Reward for successful completion of this mission: Lifespan +5 years]

[Mission reward failed: -3 years of lifespan]

Huh?? Damn it, is this system crazy?

Failure will deduct three years' worth of life? He only has a little over a year left to live; is this system trying to drain him dry?

but……

The task only mentioned inviting someone on a date, nothing more...

Is it possible that just by talking, one can succeed?

If we add five years...

He was absolutely thrilled!

Lin Tian exhaled a breath of stale air and, under everyone's gaze, strode towards Liu Mingrou.

They assumed that Lin Tian was too proud to resort to violence.

But Lin Tian walked directly up to Liu Mingrou and deliberately lowered his voice: "Mingrou, would you like to go on a date with me?"

"What? A date? You want to go on a date with me? Are you sure?? I'm a married woman!"

Lin Tian had assumed that Liu Mingrou, now married, would be more mindful of her image and would speak softly even when refusing someone. However, she suddenly raised her voice, which startled him.

Lin Tian felt utterly humiliated and didn't know where to put his face. He mentally urged the system to hurry up and arrange the reward so he could leave...

"This Lin Tian is incredibly audacious. Ming Rou is the woman of the richest man, how dare he even try to steal her away?"

"As expected of someone from the countryside, this guy has no bottom line when it comes to pursuing women."

Lin Tian closed his eyes, seemingly waiting for Liu Mingrou's answer.

In reality, he was urging the system to answer in his mind!

What are you dragging, guy?!

However, while waiting, Lin Tian noticed something was wrong.

So, is this system serious about making him go on a date with the class beauty?

Lin Tian was shocked.

But he also knew that staying any longer would not be a good thing for him.

Helpless, he could only bear the immense pressure and pretend to be pitiful after being rejected by Liu Mingrou, leaving dejectedly.

Wan Guangyao was shocked and quickly greeted everyone before chasing after them.

As Liu Mingrou watched Lin Tian leave, a hint of disappointment suddenly flashed in her eyes for some reason.

...

into the night.

Liu Mingrou and her friends drank some wine, then called a car and returned to the famous villa area.

The security guard greeted her and, seeing that Liu Mingrou was drunk, immediately arranged for someone to take her home.

Liu Mingrou, dressed in a sequined mini-skirt, politely thanked the security guard before opening the door.

But as soon as the door opened, a chilling voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Why are you only coming back now? Didn't you know I've been waiting for you here?"

In an instant, Liu Mingrou froze.

Follow the sound.

On the sofa in the living room sat a fairly handsome man in his forties.

He turned off all the lights in the room.

He left only one lamp, a lamp that could only illuminate him.

The man looked gloomy and coldly stared in Liu Mingrou's direction.

Liu Mingrou trembled all over, trying her best to maintain a docile expression: "Didn't I come back right on time as you asked? Why are you still angry?"

She tried to suppress her voice, but the panic on her face betrayed her.

Wang Dahai stood up and approached her step by step. With each step he took closer to Liu Mingrou, her body trembled even more violently.

As Liu Mingrou watched the man approach her, she suddenly knelt down, her previous glamorous demeanor vanishing completely.

At that moment, his face showed only panic and fear.

She knelt down like a little dog wagging its tail, her bright eyes fixed on Wang Dahai.

"Honey... I promise I won't do it again. I was having so much fun today that I completely forgot about the time. Please don't be angry, please don't be mad at me, okay?"

"But I've told you my rules countless times, haven't I?"

Wang Dahai approached against the light, suddenly closing in, like a demon seeking to take a life.

Liu Mingrou was too frightened to speak.

The next second, Wang Dahai swung his hand and grabbed her hair, bringing it close to his nose to smell it. His already terrifying expression instantly became even more frightening.

"You still dare to drink??"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Without any warning, the man slapped Liu Mingrou hard across the face.

Liu Mingrou's fair cheeks flushed red instantly.

Her voice trembled as she pleaded, "Brother Hai...please...I really won't do it again, I really..."

“You never drink, and if you do, it means you’re out fooling around with men. Liu Mingrou, haven’t I told you countless times? You’re mine! No matter how much you’re hiding, you can’t fool me.”

"This is the only time, and the last time."

"You, Liu Mingrou, since you chose to marry me, you are mine in life and in death! You want to run away? Don't even think about it!"

"Since you chose to provoke me in the first place, don't think you can get my forgiveness with some soft words now."

As he spoke, Wang Dahai continued his actions, slapping Liu Mingrou across the face repeatedly.

Liu Mingrou went from loudly begging for mercy at the beginning to eventually being unable to even hear her pleas anymore.

Wang Dahai even felt that he hadn't hit her enough, so he dragged Liu Mingrou to the bathtub and soaked her completely in the tub.

Only when the woman struggled frantically and begged for mercy on the verge of death did the man finally stop, satisfied.

Wang Dahai looked down at the woman in front of him and sneered, "Remember what I did today! If you dare to do it again, I won't let you off so easily."

Liu Mingrou coughed and slumped weakly beside the bathtub.

boom!

The main gate was closed.

Liu Mingrou knew this was a sign that Wang Dahai was going out.

She breathed a sigh of relief and finally dared to cry out loud.

Everyone envied her for marrying Wang Dahai, the richest man in Shanghai, but no one knew how difficult her life was after marrying him!
