Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

Darkness surged in like a tide, engulfing me.

In my mind, sharp pains, like red-hot knives, were frantically churning my nerves.

I gritted my teeth, my fingertips digging deep into Gong Lin's sleeve, almost tearing the fabric apart.

The warmth of his palm seeped through the thin fabric of my clothes, like a lifeline, giving me a glimmer of hope in the endless darkness.

"I...I'm fine..." I squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, my voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible.

hateful!

This damn contract!

That greedy fellow!

It actually tried to stop me in this way!

The anger in my heart erupted like a volcano, but had nowhere to vent, and could only turn into more intense pain, raging in my mind.

I desperately tried to grasp something, to steady my faltering consciousness.

I can't fall!

If I fall, who will protect my career?

Who can help me break this damn contract?

I could almost see the company descending into chaos. Manager Li's mean face flashed before my eyes, and his sharp accusations pierced my ears like a demonic voice: "Miao Qing, look what you've done! The company is a complete mess now, all because of you!"

No!

I can't let him succeed!

I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart.

I felt Gong Lin's arms tightly wrapped around my shoulders, and his strength gave me a sense of security.

I struggled to open my eyes, but the world before me remained blurry and distorted, like a piece of shattered glass pieced together, bizarre and dazzling, making me dizzy.

“I must… find a way…” I said haltingly, each word as if forced out of my throat.

My mind was in complete chaos, with all sorts of thoughts racing around like wild horses. I tried to grasp any useful information, but it was like searching for direction in a fog, without finding a single clue.

“Gong Lin…” I grabbed his hand and said with all my might, “Help me…”

My voice grew weaker and weaker, and the world before me grew darker and darker. Just as I was about to be swallowed by darkness again, I felt a warm force coming from his palm...

"Don't be afraid..."

A warm current flowed into my mind, like a ray of sunshine in winter, dispelling the darkness and cold that enveloped me.

The sharp pain gradually subsided, replaced by a gentle warmth that enveloped my nerves like hot spring water, allowing my tense body to gradually relax.

I took a deep breath and felt my muddled mind slowly clear up, and my chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down, as if being smoothed out by an invisible hand.

I opened my eyes, and the scene before me was no longer distorted and blurry, but clear again.

I saw Gong Lin's concerned eyes, and his hand gently stroked my hair, as tenderly as if he were handling a precious piece of porcelain.

His fingertips brushed across my scalp, bringing a tingling sensation that made me feel incredibly safe and comfortable.

"Are you feeling better?" His voice was deep and gentle, as melodious as a cello.

I nodded and gave a soft "hmm".

The feeling of surviving a disaster left me feeling weak, but it also made me cherish the person in front of me even more.

"Thank you, Gong Lin." I held his hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, and my heart was filled with gratitude.

Without him, I don't know what I would have become.

He smiled and said, "Silly girl, why are you thanking me? We're husband and wife, we should support each other."

His words warmed my heart, and a sweet feeling spread through me.

Yes, we are husband and wife. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together and overcome them together.

I leaned on his shoulder, closed my eyes, and felt his body temperature, his breath, and his heartbeat.

At this moment, I feel incredibly peaceful and happy.

Although Miya Rin's ability cannot completely eliminate the effects of the contract, it can help me shield myself from some of the interference, allowing me to rethink and find a way to break the contract.

This rekindled my hope.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

Now is not the time to indulge in romantic feelings; I must find a solution to the problem as soon as possible.

I began to recall the contents of the contract and what had happened during that time, trying to find some clues.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind...

I suddenly opened my eyes and looked at Gong Lin, “I want to…”

Before I could finish speaking, there was a knock on the office door…

After the knock on the door, I composed myself, sat up straight, and said, "Come in." The door opened, and Manager Li walked in with a frown.

As soon as I saw him, I heard his dissatisfied voice: "Miao Qing, look at the work you've been assigning lately, it's completely unreasonable!" His voice was particularly jarring in the quiet office, and I could even feel the accusations in his voice pricking my ears like needles.

I took a deep breath and smelled the tense atmosphere in the air, mixed with the faint smell of smoke on him.

I wanted to explain the soul contract, but I couldn't reveal everything, so I could only say, "Manager Li, I know the situation looks a bit bad right now, but I have my plans." My hands unconsciously clenched, my nails digging into my palms, causing a sharp pain.

Manager Li, however, was relentless. He approached me, and I could see the muscles on his face trembling slightly with anger. He raised his voice: "Your plan? Your plan is to make a mess of the company?"

Instead of blindly obeying orders as usual, I calmly said, "I have a new work plan. This plan can meet the company's current needs and also give me time to handle some personal matters."

Manager Li was clearly surprised; he stared at me with wide eyes, his gaze filled with doubt.

He was silent for a moment, seemingly considering what I had said.

I handed him the proposal, and he took it and started reading it.

I watched his expression nervously, the only sound the rustling of papers echoing in the quiet office.

After a while, he looked up at me, his expression softening slightly.

I breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in my chair, feeling my back was soaked with sweat, sticky and uncomfortable.

Just then, I suddenly remembered the symbols I had discovered earlier that were related to the termination of the contract, and a few thoughts flashed through my mind.

I picked up the pen on the table and quickly drew something on a piece of paper. Manager Li was about to speak when I raised my hand to stop him.

He looked at me with a puzzled expression, while I was lost in my own thoughts, my pen moving incessantly across the paper.

The pen scratched across the paper, and I felt my heartbeat quicken along with the sound.

Those symbols, like keys, seem to be unlocking a long-sealed secret.

After I finished drawing the last symbol, I let out a long sigh of relief and rubbed my sore eyes.

Gong Lin leaned closer, his gaze fixed on the paper. The faint scent of sandalwood emanating from him mingled with the ink smell of the paper, giving me a sense of peace.

“Look,” I said, pointing to one of the symbols, “this symbol looks a lot like the one we saw in ancient books, only with a few more strokes.” My finger gently traced the lines of the symbol, the rough texture of the paper gliding through my fingertips.

Gong Lin frowned slightly, and his slender fingers gently caressed my fingertips. The warm touch sent a shiver down my spine.

“These strokes seem to be a variation, perhaps representing a deeper meaning.” His voice was deep and magnetic, as if whispering in my ear.

We studied these symbols for a long time; the office was so quiet that the only sounds were our breathing and the rustling of papers.

Outside the window, the sun was setting, and golden sunlight streamed in through the blinds, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

I felt a little thirsty, so I picked up the iced tea on the table and took a sip. The tea was slightly bitter, but it unexpectedly cleared my muddled mind.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up. "I think I understand!" I excitedly grabbed Gong Lin's hand. His hand was dry and warm, while my palms were slightly damp with nervousness.

“Look, if we arrange these symbols in a certain order…” I said, while rearranging the symbols on another piece of paper.

Gong Lin's eyes lit up, and he quickly added to and improved upon my arrangement.

It was as if we were engaged in a silent collaboration, our minds in sync and our understanding perfectly in sync.

When the last symbol landed on the paper, we were both stunned.

A strange feeling welled up inside me, as if something was about to break through the soil.

A strange energy fluctuation seemed to permeate the air, and my fingertips felt slightly numb, as if I could feel the flow of this energy.

“We…it seems we succeeded…” My voice trembled slightly, my heart filled with unbelievable joy.

However, at that moment, a sharp voice suddenly rang in my mind, "Want to break the contract? You can, but you must..."
