Upon arriving at the hospital, Jason immediately saw that Brena had not moved an inch from her position. Brena was still curled up with her head bowed between her knees. The girl looked desperate for her life.
"Hey, Brena."Jason called out to Brena, trying to engage her in conversation. However, Brena ignored him completely.Jason let out a long sigh. The girl's condition really reminded Jason of his own life."Brena, can you hear me?" Jason didn't give up and tried once again to get Brena to talk. But as before, Brena completely ignored him."I just want to help you. But, if you don't want my help, I'll leave."Jason began to prepare to leave, at the same time Brena began to look up. Jason smiled as Brena looked at him, the girl's desperation seemed to make Brena realize that there was nothing she could do without someone's help."Hey, loser. Is what you just said true?" Brena asked, her eyes blank and lifeless.Jason coughed at the way Brena called him, calling him a loser was much more popular than Jason thought."I didn't expect you to recognize me, haha." Jason laughed awkwardly, between pride and sadness. Proud that a popular figure like Brena recognized him, and sad that Brena recognized him as a loser."Of course, who on our campus doesn't recognize you? A stupid loser who does anything for his girlfriend, while the girlfriend he wants to make happy is busy looking for another, richer man." Brena said it all without hesitation, not caring if her words hurt Jason even once.Jason's expression turned sour, Brena was telling the truth so he had no reason to deny."Hey, can we not talk about that?" Jason asked, Lydia-related issues were not something he wanted to think about right now.A snide laugh escaped Brena's mouth, "Why, does it bother you?"Jason didn't answer. He was bothered but refused to admit it. To Jason, admitting it would mean he was still expecting Lydia."It's obvious you're bothered." Brena spoke with a vengeful look in her cynical eyes. "I'm feeling the same way right now, as you shamelessly try to meddle in my business."Jason still silently stared at Brena. He just wanted to try to help, there was no other intention."Now, what are you going to do?" Brena stood up from her seat. She approached Jason with a sharp look in her eyes, "Are you going to spread my current situation to people? Are you just going to be satisfied after they think that I'm as poor as you are? Are you hoping that by doing that I'll get the nickname of a loser to keep you company?"Jason looked at Brena with a pitying gaze. The girl's worries were so excessive that she couldn't tell what was important and what wasn't.Jason's college was famous for its elite students. Most came from wealthy families or the children of local officials. Being born from an ordinary family is already a sin there, let alone poor students like Jason who are at the bottom caste and become the subject of ridicule by other students.Unlike Jason, whose financial condition was public knowledge, Brena was smart to hide where she came from so that her poverty was not smelled on campus. This is what made Brena popular even though she didn't come from a prominent family like the others.Jason understood that Brena seemed to be worried that what she had just seen would spread, threatening Brena's college life. Luckily for Brena, Jason had no intention of doing that."Hey, does it matter now? Who cares if you're rich or not? I came here to help you, that's all."Brena gave Jason a probing look. She certainly didn't believe it because Jason looked very suspicious to her.Jason let out a long sigh realizing the way Brena was looking at him. He had guessed before that Brena wouldn't believe him."Can you stop looking at me like that?" Jason put his palms right in front of Brena's eyes, blocking the girl's view to look at him again, "Just tell me how much your mom's surgery costs, I'll pay for it.""Take your hand away." Brena dismissed Jason's hand. The way she looked at Jason afterward didn't change at all, still as probing as before, "You think I don't know that your economic condition is not much different from mine?"Jason felt tickled into a chuckle. Maybe it was true that he was poor. However, now he was a man with a trillion dollars in his account."Is that funny? Is trying to trick me so much fun for you?" Brena asked, her tone sounding both disgusted and angry.Jason shook his head. He almost laughed again because he found it funny that someone's fate could suddenly change. Basically he was laughing at his own strange fate, not laughing at Brena, "You misunderstand, I'm not that bad to laugh at your suffering.""Really?" Brena raised her eyebrows, "If you're really not that bad, please get out of here and stop bothering me.""What about the help I offered? Do you really not want it?" Jason asked, his kindness not accepted by Brena at all.The look in Brena's eyes radiated annoyance. She was pretty sure Jason was talking nonsense, so she tried to ignore him. However, because Jason looked so confident and stubborn, Brena, who had had enough, finally thought to give him her account number."You want to help me? Here's my account number. Now go away and stop bothering me." Brena said while trying to maintain her remaining patience. She was so tired of thinking about her mother's condition that she had no time to put up with Jason's nonsense.After getting Brena's account number, Jason with a smile on his face said, "I have already transferred the money. Now, I'll leave as you requested and won't bother you anymore."Brena only glanced at Jason for a moment before sinking back into her reverie. Jason's words were hard for Brena to take seriously because she knew a lot about Jason who often didn't eat just because he had no money."How could someone who can't even eat regularly help pay for my mom's surgery?" Brena muttered after Jason left there.When Brena was about to go back to thinking about how to get funds for her mother's surgery, she suddenly heard an incoming message on her cell phone.Brena read the incoming message which turned out to be from the bank where she was a customer. She read the message carefully because messages like this don't usually happen."200,000 dollars?" Brena read the amount of the transfer that had just come into her account. She really couldn't believe what she was seeing.Then, Brena looked at Jason who was walking away. "Is this money from ...."Jason left the hospital area with a small smile on his face. Despite Brena's initial disbelief, Jason felt it was all worth it based on the way Brena looked at him as he left. The guilty look Brena had shown had truly left an impression on him, different from the usual scornful looks Jason received. He then wandered aimlessly, still having his afternoon class. However, he chose not to return to campus as Kevin and Lydia would likely be there."Annoying, the pain I feel when I remember this morning's events is truly annoying," Jason muttered, Lydia's betrayal really hurt him. Despite refusing to admit it, Jason truly had deep feelings for Brena.[Ding!][The System detects the Host's troubled feelings and feels pity.]Jason looked at the system screen in annoyance, unable to believe that there would be a day in his life when he would be pitied by something that wasn't even human."Forget it, I don't need your pity. Besides, I have money now. I'll make Lydia regret it," Jason said. His
Lydia, with mixed emotions, bit her lower lip hard. "Jason, how dare you..."Seeing Lydia starting to disturb their restaurant's potential customers, several restaurant employees immediately acted to keep Lydia away from Jason."Miss, stop causing trouble and leave," one of the servers said, feeling a bit tired of dealing with Lydia's stubbornness.Lydia, still being arrogant and unwilling to back down, began trying to divert the attention of the restaurant staff to Jason.Lydia was confident that Jason was just talking nonsense about coming to the restaurant to eat. Lydia knew Jason was poor, so it couldn't be possible."Hey, you guys. Let me tell you, the one you should be kicking out is him, not me," Lydia said, pointing at Jason, even though Jason remained silent and didn't cause any trouble."Miss, watch your words. How can you try to make us kick out a potential customer who hasn't done anything wrong?""Potential customer? He's the real troublemaker, saying nonsense about wanti
That morning, Jason began to get ready to attend classes at his campus. For the past few days, Jason had been skipping classes, avoiding meeting Lydia, so he preferred to delve deeper into understanding how the system worked rather than attending lectures.After several days of skipping, initially, Jason thought there wouldn't be much change in his college life. Until Jason realized there was a beautiful girl waiting for him, only then did he realize that his campus life might change.Brena was standing in front of the campus gate with sharp eyes scanning the surroundings. Her face suddenly lit up when she saw the man she had been looking for finally arrived."Hey, where have you been for the past few days?" Brena asked, approaching Jason with a sweet smile on her face.Jason just glanced at Brena briefly before turning away and continuing his steps.Brena clicked her tongue in annoyance at Jason's disregard. However, she didn't give up because Jason was a kind-hearted person in her e
Kevin immediately displayed a frustrated smile, "Alright, I'll do it myself. Besides, what can be expected from a loser like you. I heard Brena will perform at the auditorium this afternoon. Just watch, I'll win her heart today."Kevin quickly ushered his friends to go to the auditorium to prepare. He glanced back to throw a smirk at Jason.Jason had long known that Kevin was a playboy with many women around him. And Lydia had become his victim, so Jason didn't want the same thing to happen to Brena."Doing this is just like helping Brena, right?"[Ding!][Host's words are correct, keep Brena away from scum like Kevin and get rewarded with Points.]Jason nodded in understanding. He now had another reason to do this, so he no longer felt hesitant.Upon arriving at the auditorium, there were already many students there. They were waiting for their turn to enter, proving that Brena was very popular on campus."So it's true, this is her day," Jason said, remembering something after seeing
Seeing someone who had just bumped into him turn out to be Jason, Kevin suddenly gripped Jason's clothing collar so tightly. His pride refused to be insulted by Jason, who was just a loser in his eyes."What's your purpose coming here? Are you deliberately trying to provoke my emotions like this?" Kevin asked angrily. He had already been patient enough when Jason refused to help him get closer to Brena."I didn't mean to, why are you overreacting?" Jason asked, pushing Kevin's grip off his clothing collar."Didn't mean to? Nonsense!" Kevin wanted to do something to teach Jason a lesson. He believed Jason would never learn unless he was made to suffer.Kevin clenched his fists tightly, ready to strike. However, Brena stopped him, causing quite a commotion."Kevin, mind your behavior! Don't you have any ethics to resolve issues with violence?!" Brena said loudly, attracting the attention of the people around them.The conflict between Kevin and Jason immediately became the center of att
"I will." Brena gave her answer, after previously remaining silent.Everyone there was stunned. They were both shocked and disbelieving, knowing that Brena accepted Jason's invitation so easily.What was supposed to be a simple lunch invitation felt like a declaration of love in their eyes, making them angry and envious of Jason."How could this be?""Damn, this makes no sense. I remember how Brena rejected me when I offered something similar.""I don't mind Brena accepting it, but out of all people, why did she choose to have lunch with loser Jason?"With every word spoken, Kevin agreed with them all. Kevin was truly baffled by Brena, rejecting every invitation of his but immediately accepting when it was Jason who asked."Brena, you must be joking. How could you be willing to let him get close to you when I couldn't?" Kevin expressed his dissatisfaction.Brena glanced at Kevin nonchalantly, unwilling to admit that she felt indebted to Jason. Instead, Brena preferred to let everyone'
Jason inhaled deeply the scent of the bouquet of roses in his hand. His efforts over the past month had not been in vain. Now he managed to get the beautiful bouquet of flowers that Lydia, his girlfriend, wanted.For a moment Jason smiled, remembering that he had to scrimp for a whole month by only eating a piece of bread to fill his stomach. For his poor self, buying a bouquet of flowers plus a box of chocolates was a rare luxury.The aroma filled all his senses. Jason smiled broadly and stepped lightly regardless of the sound of his rumbling stomach. After all, he had long since made peace with hunger."Lydia, look, this flower is so pretty! As pretty as you are!" Jason stared at the bouquet of flowers in his hand. Lydia had never said directly that she wanted flowers. But as a good boyfriend, Jason could see the twinkle in Lydia's eyes whenever she passed by the florist.This blonde-haired girl could never take her eyes off the rows of roses in front of the shop. She would even wal
As Jason was puzzling over the message on the screen that appeared in front of him, something suddenly crashed into his body.A truck was speeding past when Jason refused to move out of the way. The truck had no time to swerve or brake, so the collision was unavoidable.Jason was thrown by the impact. He felt his body floating off the ground, his vision spinning before going dark, just as his body hit something."Hey, someone just got hit by a truck!" One of the pedestrians exclaimed, calling for help to the others to check Jason's condition.One of the people around, who happened to be a doctor, decided to help.The doctor shook his head slowly. Jason's condition was really messed up with a lot of blood coming out of the wound from being hit. "Hurry up and call an ambulance, first aid alone won't help his condition!"Those who happened to be around the crash site were immediately preoccupied with what had happened to Jason. Some panicked, while others stared with pity."What happened
