After an hour, Chu Yi successfully obtained 10 days of lifespan.
On the other hand, whether it was intentional or not, Lin Wanru, or not, actually took the initiative to offer Chu Yi the opportunity to interact freely for the next week.
Hearing this, Chu Yi's eyes widened.
"Wow, when did this girl become so generous?"
Lin Wanru glanced nervously to the other side.
"At first, I only owed you once or twice, but somehow, the debt kept increasing."
"Not to mention, this time I owe you such a great favor. If I keep owing you like this, I'm afraid I won't even remember it later."
"Of course, it's not that I think that way, it's just that I have no choice. Please don't misunderstand!"
When she said those words, she looked shy and embarrassed.
It seemed a bit like she was saying one thing but meaning another.
Chu Yi smiled, not bothering to ignore her.
It was perfect; he also needed to replenish his lifespan.
This way, she would gain face, and he would get some extra time.
Wasn't it a win-win situation?
As for him getting more lifespan, it was like getting something for the second time...
Let's not dwell on such details for now!
However, just as Chu Yi was about to take Lin Wanru back...
She seemed a little unwilling.
"My sister is also at home. We should move somewhere else this week, otherwise it won't be convenient..."
Chu Yi patted his head. Lin Wanru was still the most thoughtful girl.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered...
"Didn't I get a seaside villa from that system before?
Let's go there for a short vacation!"
When Zhou Yi told Lin Wanru the address of the seaside villa, she still didn't believe it.
After all, the villa was located in Lingjiang District, a top-tier wealthy area.
The property prices there were terrifyingly high.
A normal person could work their whole life and still not necessarily be able to buy a house.
Moreover, unless one's family background was above a certain level, or their investment in this city had reached a certain size, they weren't allowed to buy real estate there.
Therefore, even with money, one couldn't necessarily live there.
Even in their Lin family, only the patriarch had that qualification.
It's no wonder Lin Wanru didn't quite believe it.
So Zhou Yi refused, saying that he had saved Li Zhitian's father, and the other party was grateful for the offer.
Although Lin Wanru still had some doubts,
this theory did have a certain possibility.
After all, this was the Li family of the Southern Province.
For them, casually giving away a seaside villa was nothing.
"Okay, then let's go and try it out."
"By the way, you can't bully me too much when we get there..."
Zhou Yi patted his chest: "Don't worry, I know my limits!"
...
Soon, Zhou Yi took Lin Wanru to the seaside villa.
Speaking of which, it truly lived up to its reputation as a wealthy neighborhood.
The environment was beautiful, not to mention.
Large areas of open land were used for golf courses.
In this place where land is so precious, it could be called luxurious.
To enter, they had to first go through security for verification, and only after their identities were confirmed would they be allowed through.
However, the security guard seemed to treat them like a grandfather and granddaughter.
He even praised Lin Wanru for being so filial.
She personally escorted such an elderly grandfather home.
This made Lin Wanru's face turn red and then pale, but she could only repeatedly agree, afraid of being noticed.
After passing through the area, she glared at Chu Yi, who was grinning uncontrollably.
"What are you laughing at!"
Chu Yi quickly restrained his smile.
Then, Lin Wanru followed Chu Yi inside.
This seaside villa occupied a huge area; from the outside, it looked like a manor.
Lin Wanru couldn't wait to go to the second-floor balcony.
She gazed at the distant coastline, a girlish smile appearing on her face: "I've long dreamed of living in a seaside villa."
"To be able to watch the sunrise over the beach, how poetic and picturesque that is!"
Chu Yi opportunely remarked, "Then let's get up early today and rest a little earlier."
"That way, we can wake up tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise!"
Saying this, he was about to move forward.
Lin Wanru gently stopped him with her hand: "No, I need to take a shower first."
"Wait until you're done showering..."
Having no choice, Chu Yi agreed.
While waiting for Lin Wanru to finish standing, he went outside, preparing to take a walk.
On this turn, he encountered an acquaintance.
"Old Chu? How come you're here too?" A young man looked at Chu Yi, his face full of surprise.
This young man is none other than Chu Yi, his former security guard colleague.
Security Guard Li.
"Xiao Li? How come you're here too?"
Zhou Yi was also surprised by Xiao Li's appearance.
This guy was so secretive when they worked together as security guards.
Could he be some rich guy's illegitimate son?
However, Xiao Li's subsequent explanation was completely unexpected for Zhou Yi.
"Don't even mention it!" Xiao Li looked very angry.
"Didn't you say your gas valve wasn't turned off and you ran away?"
"Our idiotic security team leader said you left your post without permission, and that I, as a colleague, didn't fulfill my supervisory duties, and wanted to deduct my salary!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yi felt a little embarrassed.
After all, it was because of him that Xiao Li received the punishment.
Xiao Li's expression changed dramatically: "It's nothing, anyway, I didn't want to work there anymore!"
"So, in a fit of anger..."
Zhou Yi couldn't help but interrupt: "So you came here to be a security guard?"
Xiao Li laughed again: "To find a rich woman!"
Hearing that, Zhou Yi almost choked.
Wow, he's already taking shortcuts at such a young age?
This kid is either a security guard or a rich woman, he's simply too promising!
Speaking of which, Xiao Li said proudly: "I used to think being supported by a rich woman was something shameful."
"But now I just want to say one thing, it's amazing!"
"And I won't lie to you, Aunt Ding spoils me so much, let me show you a picture of us together!"
He took out his mobile phone and flipped through a picture of the two of them together. Chu Yi stared intently, almost startled.
"Well done, Aunt Ding thinks this weighs around 200 pounds?"
"Little Li, you're so clumsy..."
"Is that really okay?"
Chu Yi observed Little Li more closely, noticing his sunken eyes and unsteady gait.
It seemed he'd been socializing too much.
"I heard rich women even play with steel wire ball games..."
Thinking of this, Chu Yi sighed, patting Little Li on the shoulder: "Little Li, you're really suffering!"
Little Li chuckled, saying, "It's not suffering at all!"
"Oh, by the way, Old Chu, you're not here to find a job, are you?"
"Don't worry, I can talk to Aunt Ding and get you a job as a security guard. You'll earn 10,000 yuan a month!"
Zhou Yi also smiled and said, "That's not necessary, I'll stay right here!"
"Here?" Little Li was a little confused, "Old Zhou, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see where I live."
"Really? Let's go take a look!"
Then, Zhou Yi took Little Li to the seaside villa.
As soon as he saw the seaside villa, Little Li laughed, "Old Zhou, don't brag!"
"Even Aunt Ding can't afford this place, let alone you!"
"Don't worry, we're all just ordinary people, who would look down on whom! You don't need to lie!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yi was standing at the gate.
Then, with a "ding,"
The lock on the gate opened.
Zhou Yi turned his head and smiled at Xiao Li, saying, "Want to come in and sit for a while?"
Xiao Li watched this scene, his eyes wide with surprise.
"No way, Old Zhou, how did you manage to unlock this seaside villa?"
"I told you, I live right here!"
Looking at the villa, Xiao Li felt completely disoriented.
Damn! You really live here?
I just thought Old Zhou was having a hard time and wanted to help him out.
And then he turned around and presented a seaside villa!
This is unbelievable!
So, the Joker is me?
But he also had doubts.
Why did Old Zhou suddenly become so rich?
At this moment, a woman in a nightgown, shrouded in mist, walked out of the house. She looked incredibly beautiful.
Xiao Li was once again dumbfounded.
No, how could Old Chu have such a beautiful woman in his house?
It turned out to be none other than Lin Wanru.
She couldn't find Chu Yi, so she came out to check the situation.
"Hey old man, I'll wash up, wait a moment for you... Who is he?" Lin Wanru looked at Xiao Li suspiciously.
Chu Yi explained that he was his former colleague.
"Oh, I see. Then remember to hurry back later."
"I won't wait a moment, I'll go back now!"
Chu Yi turned around and said, "Xiao Li, I have something to do, I'll go back first!"
Then he and Lin Wanru went into the room together.
Before they entered the house, Xiao Li was shocked to discover that Chu Yi's hand was actually on the beautiful woman's waist!
He even gently squeezed a certain spot, causing the beautiful woman to nudge Chu Yi a little.
Look, their relationship is anything but simple!
"Damn it!"
Little Li felt his worldview was about to shatter.
How could an old man like Chu get involved with such a beautiful woman?
"Could it be that Old Chu is being kept by that beautiful woman?"
"If that's the case, then the seaside villa and their relationship make sense!"
Thinking of this, Little Li felt a chill run down his spine.
This old Chu fellow, not only can he enjoy the company of a wealthy woman, but he can also have such a beautiful wealthy woman!
This is truly a winner in life!
His gaze towards Chu Yi suddenly filled with reverence.
Old Chu, you are simply my idol!
