49. Continuing the Past Ties?
“Let’s take a sick leave first.”
The bar was not only a workplace but also a place for her own entertainment, and Wen Han felt somewhat reluctant.
Since Zhou Bin has been eyeing my body, isn’t it simple to take a few days off?
[Sorry Zhou Ge, I’m not feeling well recently~] She clicked send.
In just a few seconds, Zhou Bin replied: [Take a rest if you’re sick. Don’t worry about work for now. By the way, should I check on you tomorrow?]
[I don’t need that Zhou Ge] Wen Han rolled her eyes, [I’m feeling dizzy right now.]
[Then get some rest quickly] Zhou Ge responded swiftly, [Remember to see a doctor.]
[Mm-hm.]
After exiting the chat window, Wen Han roughly scanned through today’s messages.
“Seven hundred sixty-two… tsk! It’s twenty less than yesterday. Could it be that my charm has declined?”
She picked up a small mirror and looked at herself while touching her hair.
“No. Wen Han, you are still as beautiful!”
…
The next day, at the Recycling Station.
Her curly blonde hair was tied back with a ribbon, hanging over one shoulder.
Wen Han wore a white loose dress and ordinary cloth shoes, yawning as she sat on the table.
“Where’s the task?” She looked at Lin Wu Ju sitting in the armchair, “Where’s my two hundred thousand?”
Lin Wu Ju raised his eyes to glance at her, put down the book “One Hundred Ways of Behavior for Kind People,” and placed another book titled “People-Oriented” and the Bible on the table: “I really like your work enthusiasm, but there’s no task right now.”
“Not yet?” Wen Han frowned, “Aren’t there many souls? Why do we still have to wait?”
“Souls are not something we can collect at will.” Lin Wu Ju spread his hands, “To be precise, we can only reclaim their souls when someone starts to harbor evil intentions.”
“… Is that so?”
“After all, our 777th Recycling Station has just been established, and the Demon King won’t entrust us with too daunting souls. But that might change in the future. After all, making a kind person evil and then reclaiming their soul—that kind of soul power is the strongest.”
“Pfft.” Wen Han fiddled with her single ponytail and raised an eyebrow, “I thought I could make more money again.”
“Why? Did you already spend the two million?”
“No, but who would complain about having more money?”
They smiled at each other. Suddenly, Wen Han’s phone received a message.
She opened it and found out it was from Lin Na.
“Hmm?” Her expression changed, and she jumped off the table, “If there’s no task, then I’ll leave first.”
Just as Lin Wu Ju was about to speak, Wen Han had already disappeared.
…
“Hello?” Wen Han came out from behind a large tree in the park and sat on an empty pavilion.
“Weren’t you supposed to tell me when the time came?” Lin Na’s voice came through the phone, “At eight o’clock tonight, KTV class reunion.”
“… So soon?”
Wen Han looked at her watch and realized it was already a new month.
Thinking about the class reunion, she wasn’t very interested, but since Lin Na wanted to go so badly, she agreed…
“Alright, where should we meet?”
“I took leave from school, just got out, and am heading home to change clothes.”
“At your house then.”
…
Knock knock knock!
After a brief knock, the door in front of her was quickly opened.
“It’s Ah Han!” Lin Na’s mother smiled, “Long time no see, you’ve become even prettier!”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Wen Han always showed respect to elders.
“Wen Han?” A voice suddenly came from inside.
In a few seconds, a naturally curly-haired boy wearing a casual short-sleeve shirt and shorts appeared behind Lin Na’s mother.
“Hey~ Wen Han, long time no see.”
Those eyes sized her up, showing a hint of panic and embarrassment.
Wen Han smiled without saying anything.
This was Lin Na’s brother. To be accurate, in her memory, this was Lin Yong’s sister, but now he was her brother.
She could tell that he liked her.
Moreover, before Little Yuan appeared, Lin Na’s mother had always wanted to match them up.
But after Little Yuan appeared, Lin Na’s mother never mentioned it again.
“Hello, Brother Lin Long.”
Wen Han walked in with a smile.
“Auntie, where’s Lin Na?”
“She’s in her room.”
“Then I’ll go find her first.”
Walking to the familiar door, Wen Han pushed it open.
Inside the narrow but cozy room, the first thing she saw was Lin Na standing in front of the full-length mirror.
Her hands were raised high, and her head was covered by clothes, making it impossible to see anything. Her snow-white figure was exposed, fortunately with sparse fabric covering key areas.
Wen Han smiled slightly and stepped forward, pinching the shoulder strap and snapping it back.
“Is that you, Wen Han?”
“Who else could it be?” Wen Han glanced at her, “Girl, you’ve developed nicely recently.”
“Pervert!” Lin Na put on her clothes, turned around, “Next time, knock first.”
“We’re sisters!” Wen Han rolled her eyes, “Do you want to see mine? I can show you!”
“No thanks, I’m not interested.” Lin Na turned and picked up a few pieces of clothing, “Which one looks better?”
“Isn’t it just a class reunion? Why so formal?” Wen Han looked puzzled but then smirked mysteriously, “Because of that… celery?”
Lin Na blushed, “Don’t say such things! There’s nothing wrong with girls dressing up nicely.”
“Pfft!” Wen Han sighed, propping her leg on the bed, “Change one by one, and I’ll help you choose.”
…
As night fell.
At the Shaxian Hotel downstairs from Lin Na’s house, she finally finished her makeup after a busy day and happily looked at herself in the mirror.
“How do I look? Pretty?”
“Pretty! Simple yet wild, you might even get into a state-owned company.” Seeing her sweet smile, Wen Han shook her head, “But I think you’ve been charmed by a man!”
“Nonsense!” Lin Na put down the mirror, “Hey Wen Han, I envy you. Just wearing a T-shirt and shorts makes you look better than others who are carefully dressed up.”
“Naturally beautiful, what can I do~” Wen Han confidently took a steamed dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth, “By the way, I don’t remember old classmates, so you’ll have to introduce them to me later.”
After becoming a girl, the world seemed completely different. The old classmates she was going to see tonight were probably all different.
“Why does your memory suddenly suck?” Lin Na scratched her head, “Okay, I’ll help you recall later, but there’s one person who doesn’t need me to introduce.”
“Huh?”
“Zhao Meng Sheng!” Lin Na smiled mysteriously, “He just returned from abroad and was dragged to the class reunion tonight. Wen Han, maybe you can continue your past ties.”
Wen Han raised her eyebrows, “I don’t think I’ve ever been with him.”
“… Alright.” After a moment of hesitation, Lin Na sighed, “Actually, I just wanted to see you like this now. You really liked him before, but he never paid much attention to you.”
In her previous life, Zhao Meng Sheng should have known she liked him, but he obviously didn’t care much about her back then.
Wen Han pondered, suddenly developing a slight interest in the class reunion.
