September, Longcheng.

In the "Poison" coffee shop in the city center, Shen Ci sat in a corner by the window, resting her chin on her hand and staring blankly at the sky outside.

The sun was shining brightly, and she felt as if she had returned to the age when she was not yet a wicked woman.

Just half an hour ago, the 65-year-old retired honorably after finishing her last shift. She only took a short nap on the bus home, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in her 20s.

In the prime of her life, with a curvaceous figure.

Tight skin, self-important.

The requirements are very strict; they don't wear glasses.

She has a boyfriend.

Everything was so incredible, but she accepted it quickly and calmly.

As a researcher who has explored the field of space for many years and has achieved certain academic accomplishments, her talent lies in quickly accepting the unknown.

When she woke up, she was on the bus. Those distant yet clear memories resurfaced. She remembered that on this day, Li Xiao's mother asked her to meet at a coffee shop.

Li Xiao is her boyfriend.

The next second, the clear glass reflected the elegant figure of the noblewoman. Shen Ci sat up straight and looked at her as she gracefully sat down.

Before Shen Ci could speak, the other person raised their head slightly, took out a check from their Hermès Kelly orange pebbled bag, and patted it lightly in front of Shen Ci.

"Here's ten dollars, get away from my son!"

Take less?

Shen Ci was taken aback, thinking to himself that the lines were wrong!

Wasn't it 100,000 last time?

How did it become ten yuan?

Why go through all that trouble to write a check for ten dollars?

“I know what a girl your age is thinking, thinking about climbing the social ladder and taking shortcuts. But you need to understand that you and my son are from two different worlds, and you can’t force yourselves to be together because of different social classes.”

As she spoke, Li's mother stared at Shen Cijiao's pretty face for a few seconds, then let out a disdainful snort: "She is indeed quite pretty, but she can only fool a simple-minded boy like my son. She can't fool me."

Shen Ci finally snapped out of her shock at the "ten yuan" and only caught half of what Li's mother said.

Who is more naive?

Is your son naive?

Is Li Xiao naive?

Shen Ci couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. Seeing this, Li's mother frowned slightly behind her sunglasses and said unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I just thought of some funny things."

And that ridiculous version of myself from the past.

She once thought Li Xiao was simple-minded. What bad intentions could a boy who grew up in luxury and was pampered in a wealthy family have?

It wasn't until his academic paper, which he had painstakingly written over two years, was plagiarized and published that Shen Ci realized how big a mistake he had made by judging people by their looks!

The other party became famous because of this paper and successfully entered the most famous research institution in the country.

Her appeals and cries were all ignored in the face of the Li Group's enormous wealth.

Later, through her efforts, she finally became Li Xiao's colleague and his direct subordinate.

People with a guilty conscience are most prone to paranoia. In Li Xiao's eyes, she was like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

During their time working together, Li Xiao took advantage of his position to make things difficult for her in every way, and finally used the dirty trick of 200 million yuan from the Li Group's investment institution to kick her out of the team.

That year, she was twenty-nine years old and unemployed.

But true gold is not afraid of being tested by fire; gold will shine.

She did not give up. Using her research experience and achievements at the institution over the years, she wrote another paper that shocked the industry, and shortly after its publication, she joined the National Space Exploration Research Department.

She worked diligently and conscientiously throughout her life, never marrying, and dedicated herself to the field of space exploration until she retired honorably at the age of 65!

“Auntie, I think you’re right. He and I are not the same kind of people.”

Shen Ci slowly pushed the ten-yuan check back to the other party: "Ten yuan is not necessary. Although I am not rich, I am not short of ten yuan."

Shen Ci's reaction surprised Li's mother. She pulled her sunglasses up to the tip of her nose with her fingers and stared at Shen Ci.

Shouldn't she have tearfully refused, and then declared that she and Xiaozai were truly in love and that no one could separate them?

Last time, Shen Ci did exactly that.

"You think it's too little? I know your situation. Ten yuan isn't a small amount for a family like yours. Are you just trying to appease me? Don't play games with me!" Mother Li put her sunglasses back on, her tone slightly cold.

Shen Ci smiled gently: "Auntie, you're overthinking it. I will break up with Li Xiao, I promise you!"

"I won't agree!"

A furious shout suddenly rang out from the side, startling Li's mother across from her, but Shen Ci calmly curled the corners of her lips.

They appeared at the same time as last time. Last time, Li Xiao suddenly appeared, and the two of them firmly stated that they would be together no matter what. They tried to reason with his mother, and in the end, she felt sorry for her son and reluctantly agreed to let them continue dating.

Li Xiao strode over and sat down next to Shen Ci, put his arm around her shoulder, and said firmly, "Mom, I won't break up with Shen Ci!"

"Xiaozi! Would I harm you? I'm doing this for your own good!" Mother Li said anxiously and angrily.

She had already succeeded, but with her son suddenly appearing, the girl might very well change her mind!

However, Shen Ci expressionlessly removed Li Xiao's hand from her shoulder, then stood up under his questioning gaze, looked at him and said, "Li Xiao, I've had enough fun. Let's end this here."

"Wh...what do you mean?" Li Xiao asked blankly, "What do you mean by 'had enough fun'?"

Shen Ci smiled and said, "Literally, I've had my fill of you."

Li Xiao's expression changed from confusion to shock, and finally to anger.

"Shen Ci, now is not the time to act impulsively, much less to joke around!" Li Xiao said in a low voice.

Looking at his face, Shen Ci had to admit that he was handsome and good-looking, no matter how slightly furrowed his brows were when he was puzzled, how wide his eyes were when he was shocked, or how red and warm his face was when he was angry.

They're all beautiful.

But as I watched, a wave of nausea washed over me.

Shen Ci looked away from Li's mother and said, "Auntie, I have a strange habit. I only like to have secret relationships with rich second-generation men. Now that you've found out, I don't think it's very interesting anymore."

"Oh, by the way, Li Xiao and I have never slept together, we've only booked a hotel once, but he couldn't get an erection. I don't know if it's because he's nervous or if he's just not good at it. I suggest you take him to the hospital to get checked out when you have time, after all, he's still young."

"I'll treat you to coffee."

After saying that, Shen Ci turned and walked towards the cashier, leaving Li Xiao and his mother, both with livid faces, frozen in their seats.

"Hello, table number 5, please pay."

"Hello ma'am, that'll be 7.5 cents in total. I'll scan your code."

Shen Ci narrowed her eyes in confusion, thinking that she might not have heard the other person's words clearly. It seemed to be 75.

"Payment successful, 0.75%!"

A voice announcement came from the cashier. Shen Ci glanced at the WeChat Pay page instinctively: "Payment successful, 0.0075 yuan?"

7.5 cents?

The "li" in yuan, jiao, fen, and li.

Shen Ci's eyes widened in shock, even more so than when she accepted that she had been given a second chance at life.

Such a niche currency unit!
