Chapter 13 Being Here for the Manuscript
What should he do?
Reidon was in a very awkward moment.
He was holding the black underwear, and his hand was trembling slightly.
He seemed to want to say something and opened his mouth, but nothing came out, and he didn’t know what to say to ease the current atmosphere.
If there was a crack in the ground, he wouldn’t hesitate to crawl in.
He wanted to be an ostrich and buried his head in the crack to hide.
Both of them stared at each other for half a minute.
Because of the way he was holding the underwear, it looked as if he was going to steal it.
Reidon was not an underwear thief.
“What are you doing with my stuff?”
Reidon didn’t answer her.
Countless scenes in TV dramas flashed across Reidon’s mind.
He was already prepared to be scolded or slapped.
But he had never expected that Nyx would react like this.
Shouldn’t she be shy first, then angry?
Just like the plots in Korean dramas.
But Nyx was too calm, just like that underwear wasn’t hers.
She didn’t look embarrassed or suspicious.
They were just strangers and just knew each other today.
Reidon felt that he wasn’t worthy of her trust.
He had never seen this plot in any TV dramas.
“Oh? This… I just saw it fall out. I thought it was your clothes, so I wanted to help you put it back.”
Tell her the truth in the most sincere way.
This was also what Reidon had learned over the years.
Never lie.
A lie would always be a lie.
No matter how true the words sounded, there would always be flaws.
However, the truth was flawless, no matter how ridiculous the truth sounded.
The truth would always be the truth.
“Alright, I got it.”
She believed it.
Even though Reidon said it very sincerely, he still did not think that his simple words could directly persuade her.
However, she actually believed him.
Moreover, her reaction was too calm.
She didn’t care at all.
She was even careless.
Nyx was still doing her own things. She was making her bed as if nothing had happened.
“Oh, okay.”
Hearing Nyx’s words, Reidon felt a sense of relief.
Then, he went out of the room in a panic.
After Reidon left, Nyx closed the door and leaned against it.
At this moment, she looked completely different from before.
She was so embarrassed that her beautiful face flustered.
She had never thought that she would be so shy.
She had been an agent trainee since she was a child so that she was indifferent to people’s lives and death, but she still didn’t have much experience to face men.
Outside the house, Reidon sorted out his uneasiness and took a deep breath.
He felt much better now.
After he found that Nyx was not embarrassed at all, the pressure in his heart was also released.
Then, Reidon stayed in the living room and opened the rest of boxes.
There was a large air purifier inside, which looked very expensive.
They were really rich.
Reidon thought to himself, but on second thought, it was natural.
This was a high-class apartment, so the people living here were naturally rich.
He was still thinking like a poor man.
He could live here with them after receiving the system’s reward of three thousand dollars.
In fact, his education and ability were not on the same level as these people.
Some people had already been in better stages than ordinary people after they graduated from famous universities.
They also had a lot of other expensive furniture, an 80-inch digital TV, a high-end washing machine, and a refrigerator.
Almost all of them were produced by high-end brands. If they were calculated carefully, they might be more than 500,000 dollars.
All of a sudden, the apartment became very luxurious.
Reidon worked very hard, and it took him half an hour to finish everything.
Then, dripping with sweat, Reidon went to the bathroom to take a shower with cold water and then laid down in bed.
Then he began to recall the moment when he met his high school classmate in the supermarket today.
He recalled the memories when he was in high school, and now he remembered that things had changed.
Some girls might have become mothers.
Some classmates might have been working overtime, while some others born in rich families might have inherited their family business.
After graduation, the gap between them would become more and more obvious.
“Maybe she will come tomorrow evening.”
Reidon muttered as he lay in bed.
He thought of his first girlfriend.
She was also the only girlfriend he had ever had.
He remembered how they dropped out of high school together for love, despite families’ objections.
They left their schools and families.
They had no support from home and no money.
They had imagined that they would love each other forever, but they still broke up just because of domestic trivia.
The bitterness and conflict slowly accumulated and eventually exploded.
Reidon stopped thinking.
He rubbed his face and blocked the thought out of his mind.
Now, he just wanted to make money and buy a house.
Then he got up and sat at his desk.
After he opened the system, the virtual panel appeared in front of him.
Host: Reidon
Research Target: Cold Fusion Reaction
Progress: 30%
Bonus: 60,000 dollars
When he saw the bonus, Reidon completely forgot about all the unhappiness.
This was 60,000 dollars.
It was almost his salary in half a year.
If he could get the money, Reidon felt that he was closer to his dream.
Just do it!
Reidon picked up a pen and paper again and began to study cold fusion reaction.
He actually didn’t understand what he was studying at all.
He even felt a little strange, but he couldn’t exactly say what was strange.
But there was no other way. For the sake of his dream, he had to continue working.
He moved a large pile of draft paper and began to write and draw on it.
Time passed quickly, and the afternoon flew by.
Looking at the pile of scrap paper in front of him, Reidon rubbed his head, unable to find any clues.
Now it seemed that it was impossible to finish calculating in a day.
The difficulty seemed to be increased.
“Reidon, it’s time to eat!”
He was still sitting in front of his desk in a daze when he heard the sound of the door opening.
Nyx walked in.
“Let’s have dinner together.”
“Oh, okay.”
Reidon stood up. When Nyx saw the large piece of scrap paper on his desk, her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a meaningful look.
This was what she wanted.
