The next day was the weekend.
Wang Yue stayed in bed until noon.
After starting work in his previous life, he basically had no time to laze in bed.
Every day he worked from dawn till dusk.
Even on rest days, he was burdened by work and various troubles.
"So comfortable."
Wang Yue stretched after getting out of bed.
Then he picked up his phone and checked the time.
It was 12:30.
"Time to get up, wash up, and eat."
After washing up and eating.
The time had already come to 1 o'clock.
Wang Yue had arranged to meet Li Xiaoman at the KTV to sing at 2 o'clock today.
"It's almost time to leave, what should I wear today?"
Wang Yue rummaged through his wardrobe.
He found nothing he was particularly satisfied with.
This was his first time meeting Li Xiaoman in this life, and Wang Yue thought he should dress a bit nicer.
After all, clothes make the man, and a horse needs a good saddle.
Although Wang Yue was very handsome now, if he wore something like "Blue Enchantress" or "Red Storm," he probably wouldn't be able to pull it off.
"It seems it's time to get some new clothes."
Wang Yue thought to himself.
He was now earning a few thousand yuan a day, and he could at least buy some branded sportswear, which would be very comfortable.
Finally, Wang Yue chose a Li-Ning sportswear set.
He looked at himself in the mirror.
Wang Yue found that with his improved looks and physique, even this sportswear made him look exceptionally sunny and handsome.
"A sparrow eating a cricket—Sparrow is so handsome!"
After admiring himself in the mirror for a while, Wang Yue went out.
Meanwhile.
Li Xiaoman was still meticulously dressing herself.
It was her first time meeting an online friend, and honestly, she felt both nervous and excited.
She was nervous about the possibility that Wang Yue's photos might be fake and he might actually be a middle-aged man with bad hygiene.
After all, weren't such incidents often exposed online?
People who used fake photos to date online were everywhere.
And she was excited because she had chatted with Wang Yue for so long and was finally going to meet him.
Li Xiaoman's real-life personality was vastly different from her online persona.
In reality, she was a well-known good girl, quiet, not very talkative, soft, and gentle.
But online, she would show her rebellious side.
If one were to describe it using future terminology.
It would be: "In reality, I am timid; online, I am a powerhouse."
Li Xiaoman sat in front of the mirror.
Her current makeup skills were close to zero; at most, she could apply foundation, draw her eyebrows, and put on lipstick.
But even with such simple makeup.
It still highlighted her astonishing beauty.
If some people were like mud pellets casually thrown by Nuwa, then Li Xiaoman was like a treasure meticulously crafted with great effort by Nuwa.
After simply applying lipstick, Li Xiaoman started looking for clothes again.
Her walk-in closet was filled with all sorts of clothes.
After changing several outfits.
Li Xiaoman chose a very energetic outfit.
The top was a blue and white color-blocked knitted cardigan, paired with a white pleated skirt, simple white sneakers, and long socks.
Her hair was casually tied into a ponytail, without any accessories.
This outfit made her look full of vitality and had a preppy style.
After turning around a few times in front of the mirror, Li Xiaoman smiled, very satisfied with her outfit.
"Let's go!"
...
Wang Yue arrived at the KTV ten minutes early.
The environment of this KTV was quite ordinary, showing its age.
Wang Yue had met Li Xiaoman at this KTV in his previous life as well.
At that time, his singing was terrible, but Li Xiaoman smiled and encouraged him.
Back then, Wang Yue thought his singing was actually quite good. Now he realized Li Xiaoman just didn't want to embarrass him.
Wang Yue stood on the street, watching the passing cars and pedestrians.
Occasionally, some girls would walk by, glance at Wang Yue, and then run away blushing, whispering to their friends.
Wang Yue could imagine what they were saying.
"Look, there's a handsome guy at ten o'clock!"
"Where? Damn, he's really handsome!"
"Then go ask for his QQ."
"I won't, you go."
After a moment of imaginary conversation, Wang Yue shook these random thoughts out of his mind.
Time quickly came to exactly 2 o'clock.
Li Xiaoman had still not appeared.
"Did something happen to her?"
Wang Yue frowned, thinking.
Li Xiaoman was a very punctual person. If she said 2 o'clock, she would absolutely not be a minute late, only early, never late.
This had been verified in his previous life.
Thinking this, Wang Yue picked up his phone, considering whether to call.
"Let's wait another five minutes."
Wang Yue put down his phone.
Five minutes later, Wang Yue made the call.
But after ringing for a while, there was no answer.
"Did something really happen?"
Wang Yue couldn't stand still.
Li Xiaoman had never had any accidents in his previous life.
However, they had never met at this time.
It was very likely that damnable butterfly effect again.
But Wang Yue could only worry now, as the only way he could contact Li Xiaoman was by phone.
Half an hour later, Li Xiaoman still hadn't appeared.
Wang Yue was certain that Li Xiaoman must have encountered some trouble. He decided to stop waiting foolishly and go look around nearby for any accidents.
But at this moment, Wang Yue's phone rang.
It was Li Xiaoman calling.
Wang Yue quickly answered the phone.
"Elder brother, I... I ran into some trouble, and I probably can't meet you today. Let's meet another time, okay?"
Li Xiaoman's voice had a hint of a sob.
"What happened to you?"
Wang Yue said calmly, "If you've run into trouble, tell me, maybe I can help you?"
For some reason, Li Xiaoman felt Wang Yue's words had a magical quality, slowly calming her panicked emotions.
"I... I scratched someone's car."
Li Xiaoman said in a low voice.
"I thought it was something serious. Where are you? I'm coming over now."
Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal.
"I'm at Semir on Haochijie."
"Wait for me."
Wang Yue hung up the phone, got on his old bike, and headed straight for the destination.
Haochijie was not far from here, only a few streets away.
It would take about five to six minutes by bike.
Meanwhile, on Li Xiaoman's side.
Two scruffy-looking men were surrounding her.
The two, one tall and one short, both looked muscular, with tattoos on their arms, exuding a street-tough aura.
The shorter one smiled lecherously, "Little sister, I'm not a bad guy. You scratched my car, so you have to explain yourself, right? Get in the car first, and we'll talk it over inside."
The taller one chimed in, "Yes, little sister. You're so beautiful, how could we bear to make things difficult for you? It's okay if you don't get in the car. Just give us 5,000 yuan now, and we'll leave immediately, no more trouble."
"I... I don't have that much money. My friend is coming over soon. I'll wait for him."
Li Xiaoman said with a pale face.
"Your friend is probably also a student, right?"
The shorter man said with a smile.
"Yes."
Li Xiaoman nodded.
"It's no use calling your friend. Do you know what kind of car this is?"
The shorter man pointed to the car's emblem, "See the red, black, and gold base? Heard of Porsche? This car of mine is over 2 million. The scratch you made will cost over 20,000 yuan to fix, and I'm giving you a discount because you're a pretty girl."
"You clearly don't trust us. Then it's the original price. When your friend comes, can he afford over 20,000 yuan?"
"Or, is he willing to spend 20,000 yuan for you?"
Li Xiaoman was frightened.
Of course, she had heard of Porsche.
She heard it was very, very expensive, but she didn't expect it to be this expensive.
Over 20,000 yuan. If her parents knew about this, they would be very heartbroken.
"Uncle... Didn't we agree on 5,000 yuan?"
Li Xiaoman's tears fell like a broken string of pearls.
