Chapter 50.2: Don’t Forget To Pay Your Bills (2)

Ji Fanyin shook her head and hailed a taxi using her phone. After confirming a driver, she began making her way through the snow. 

While waiting for her taxi by the roadside, she idled her time away by playing a mobile game. 

It was just that snow kept falling on her phone screen, forcing her to wipe it off from time to time. It was grating on her nerves so much that she eventually gave up.

She tabbed over to check her ride-hailing app and saw that the driver was still three minutes away. She went on to check her Temptation of Home app.

Other than the bits accruing from the netizens reading her movie reviews, she was also logging huge streams of Emotional Points from Song Shiyu at this very moment. There were already several million even with a swift glance. 

There was no detailed description on the app about how Emotional Points were tabulated, but Ji Fanyin had a rough idea based on her observations over the past few months. 

Basically, it was the amount of money a person was willing to pay for the current emotions they had.

Take the movie reviews Ji Fanyin had been posting as an example, she had managed to gather quite a following of movie buffs thus far. The Emotional Points they generated after reading her movie reviews were usually around the price of a movie ticket. 

It was a little similar to how an otakus feelings for their in-game waifu correlated to how much they were willing to spend on them. 

Swimsuit S*ber?! I have to get it even if I have to top up 100,000 dollars!

Those emotions would generate 100,000 Emotional Points. 

The clients Ji Fanyin had specially picked out had a vastly different perception regarding the valuation of nonmaterial pursuits as compared to the masses, so the Emotional Points she received from them were disproportionately great. 

It could also be due to the clich melodrama that was oddly common in Ji Fanyins life. She had a brief inkling of it all this while, and the event that transpired today affirmed it. 

I know that I cant be with her, so Im willing to make do with you.

Someone with a working brain couldnt have possibly spouted those words.

The only question now was whether she should abandon Song Shiyu now or later. Ji Fanyin couldnt make up her mind on that. 

There were already signs of his feelings moving from Ji Xinxin onto her. This made a good opportunity for her to harvest huge amounts of money and Emotional Points from him. 

Besides, shouldnt a scum like him get a taste of his own medicine?

Ji Fanyin slipped her phone back into her pockets and decided to keep her hands in there. It was too cold. 

Standing at the entrance of the residential district, there were quite a few pedestrians walking to and fro. Ji Fanyin spotted two women wearing a pair of adorable reindeer horns. They were sharing an umbrella while discussing their dinner plans.

At least the general populace in this world seems fairly normal, Ji Fanyin thought.

She waited and waited, but the taxi still didnt arrive.

There are quite a few cars on the street. Is there a traffic jam ahead?

The bored Ji Fanyin began kicking on the snow pile by the roadside, but a white patch suddenly covered her vision. A snowflake had fallen on her eyelashes.

She was reluctant to extract her hands from her toasty pockets, so she tried to blow it off.

The snowflake wasnt cooperating. 

She contemplated jumping up and down to shake that mischievous snowflake off her. Suddenly, an umbrella covered her head, sheltering her from the falling snow. 

Ji Fanyin? The person holding the umbrella was able to call her name.

Ji Fanyin turned her head over to take a look, only to discover that the other party was really tall. She had to raise her gaze quite a bit before she finally saw a man wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a mask. 

It was a familiar getup. In fact, she was able to recognize the man just by looking at the pair of eyes behind the glasses. He Shen. What a rare sight.
