Chapter 2736 - 2798: The Female Student Outside the University Gates

Li Yifei attended Brother Hu’s wedding as promised. He woke up in the morning contemplating what time to leave. Chu Xiaoyao and Su Lio needed to go to school. Upon hearing Yifei was heading to the provincial city, they came over to catch a ride, saving themselves from driving separately.

Thus, Li Yifei left early, as the two women had morning classes. Once they reached the provincial city and dropped the wives off at school, it was only around nine. The wedding started at 10:58, so going at ten would be enough for Yifei. He checked the map and found it wasn’t far.

Sitting in the car, as Li Yifei was scrolling through his phone, he heard a knock at the window. He looked up and saw a beautifully dressed girl, standing like a flower outside his window. Noticing Yifei looking up, she waved. Yifei rolled down the window and heard her say, "Excuse me, sir, where are you headed?"

"Hm?" Yifei sized her up and immediately understood what she was up to, making him chuckle, "I’m waiting for my girlfriend, sorry."

"Oh?" The girl seemed disappointed, murmuring, "Sorry!"

She turned to leave but slowly, as if hesitating. Yifei watched her slender figure move away but quickly stop and turn back. She faced Yifei, saying, "Sir... I’m not usually doing this. I want to... sell myself!"

"Sell yourself?" Yifei’s face showed a mix of amusement,

The girl clenched her hands, "Yes, if you... give me twenty thousand dollars, I’ll accompany you for a week, not half a month!"

"Twenty thousand to be with me for half a month? What can we even do?" Yifei continued to ask.

The girl glanced around, they were at the school gate, and many people were passing by. She hesitated and then said, "Sir, can I speak inside the car? There are too many people here."

"Once you’re inside, won’t you stop talking?" Yifei asked.

"No, I won’t, I promise." The girl said anxiously.

"Get in and say it." Yifei nodded. The girl, relieved, quickly opened the passenger door, sat down, and Yifei rolled up the window, looking calmly at her, "Go on!"

"I mean... I’ll accompany you for half a month, do whatever you want. I desperately need those twenty thousand." The girl said.

Yifei responded, "Do you know how many people say this? Are you a student here?"

"I... I really need it, sir, I’m not lying. If not, I wouldn’t... wouldn’t sell myself, it’s shameful." She replied.

Yifei had encountered many such situations, so he wasn’t surprised and said, "You’re pretty, with regular studies and a normal job, your future husband won’t be too bad, as long as you don’t degrade yourself. So, why sacrifice yourself for a small amount now?"

"Sir, I really have my reasons, I’m still... a virgin, not like them, please believe me. I’m in urgent need and saw that your car... looks so good, you must be wealthy, that’s why I approached you." The girl said, nervous but with a red face, making her appear quite endearing.

She was indeed pretty. If it weren’t for Yifei’s taste being nurtured by his wives at home, he might have been tempted. Now, he remained calm. He sensed the girl was genuinely nervous and anxious. If she was pretending, she had quite the acting skills, her subtle expressions reflected genuine emotions. So, Yifei asked, "Your words were somewhat jumbled. I’ll give you a chance to organize your thoughts, just you and me here. Start over."

"Start over?" The girl looked at Yifei. After his affirmation, she clenched her fists and said resolutely, "My mother is ill, and I need money for her treatment. I’ve saved fifteen thousand from working and tutoring over the past couple of years, but there’s still a thirty-five thousand shortfall. This is for the initial treatment. No matter what, I must save my mother. I can’t watch her die."

Li Yifei nodded, "If the shortfall is thirty-five thousand, why ask for only twenty thousand?"

"I can try to borrow fifteen thousand, not that I want less... but they say even for a virgin with good looks, that’s the most I can get. Asking for more might deter people..." The girl said nervously.

Yifei stared at her for a while. His intuition told him there were plenty of such stories, but this one seemed to hold truth. Her anxiety, caution, even fear appeared genuine. Her subtle actions conveyed her inner emotions.

So... was she lying?

"Who are ’they’?" Yifei asked.

"Just... those at school working in this line. Many of them do this and don’t feel ashamed, making money with skills and spending freely, they say. They tried to bring me in, but I didn’t join. This time I really can’t help it, my mom needs money, and I can’t watch her die. I’d never forgive myself!"

"So how did you find me? Don’t tell me it’s a coincidence. I see many cars parked around here too," Yifei said.

The girl paused, "I’ve approached several people, they were interested, but as soon as they heard ’twenty thousand’, they shook their heads, even saying some..."

"What?"

"Awful things."

"Like what?"

"Like... I find it hard to say."

"Hm?"

"Like, is your lower part gilded? They said two thousand would suffice for a month’s fun, that the best girl in this school goes for hundreds a night, and here I ask for twenty thousand a week, so they started mocking."

"Haha, that is indeed a steep price," Yifei nodded.

The girl lifted her head sharply, looking at Yifei, her lips trembling lightly, then said after some time, "Then... I’ll add more days, but I’m worried my period might come, so I only promised half a month, sir, please believe me, I really need the money, that’s why I resorted to selling myself. But I’m absolutely clean, I’ve never been with a man."

"What year are you in?"

"Junior year," the girl hesitated before answering.

"What are you studying?"

"English Education, but I’m pursuing a secondary degree in French, hoping to master one more language. English alone has a narrower job market," the girl said, with more fluency this time.

Yifei nodded again, squinting at the road ahead, "Ever had a boyfriend?"

"Yes... but just held hands, never kissed, I swear," she said.

"When was this?"

"Freshman year, just starting university, I met a senior in his third year. He was nice and took care of me. At the time, I needed to work to pay for my tuition. Sometimes he would pick me up late at night after work or bring me lunch at noon. I was grateful. But my circumstances were too poor, I couldn’t date, so... we ended it." It seemed she got emotional, her eyes turning red.

Yifei nodded again, slower this time, his fingers tapping lightly on the steering wheel. The girl bit her lip, anxiously watching Yifei. Suddenly, she sat straight, puffed out her chest, "Sir, although I’m... I have a good figure, and using their words, men would really like university students like me!"

"Any other strengths?"

The girl took a deep breath, seeming to brace herself, "I have less body hair, very smooth and fair skin, and a perky buttock. I used to walk or run to and from school during middle and high school, so I was quite active. Now, I even run sometimes when upset."

"Do you like sports?" Yifei observed her, indeed appreciated her physique, nodding slightly.

The girl chuckled bitterly, "I like it, sure, but sometimes when I’m late, it costs one or two bucks for the bus, better to run."

"Do you live on campus or at home?"

"On campus. My mom doesn’t want me coming home often, and... I have part-time jobs. I’d get home late sometimes, worrying her. I don’t want her waiting up. Eventually, I chose to stay on campus."

"Hm!" Yifei’s eyes looked ahead, not far away a car stopped, a BMW X6. From the passenger side emerged a fashionably dressed girl carrying a beautiful handbag. She leaned back in and through the window Yifei could see her kissing the driver. Yifei chuckled, indeed, the girl just wanted to sell herself. Is twenty thousand a lot? Not to him, but for those driving regular cars, seeking to find deals near universities, it’s indeed hefty, even for two thousand, they’d consider carefully. Even for a night’s companionship, how many times could they manage?

"Sir, everything I said is true, please... consider it. Otherwise, I’ll need to find someone else. By today or tomorrow I must raise the funds, my mom needs the treatment, there’s no time to delay."

"Are you pushing me?" Yifei narrowed his eyes to ask.

"No, no, I’m just... anxious. Please don’t mind. I rarely interact with men, especially for situations like this. Now I’m flustered, might speak without thinking."

"Without thought, how can I trust you’d keep your promise? What if I give you the money and then you disappear, where would I find you? Even if I do, am I supposed to cause a scene at your school?" Yifei asked, "So, how can I believe you?"

"Believe... believe me..." the girl repeated, her eyes widening, looking lost. It was indeed a tough question, and she hadn’t considered it. Finally, with determination, she said, "How about... you collect interest first, by taking me to a hotel. As long as I get the money today, I’m prepared."
