This time could you be my light?

"Miss Yue, you look tired. Is the work in the cram school too difficult?" Wang Cai was her student after high school.

But he asked that question just to continue the conversation. No need to ask because he already knew why.

"A bit. But having to take care of my sick sister without anyone's help is really hard. Our parents have already passed away and the relatives don't take care of her. So I need to pay someone to do that, but it's hard" Yue Xi sighed, not only was it hard, but she also needed to be very careful to prevent any accidents from happening.

"..." He just listened in silence to what she said.

During his hospital stay in the previous life, she was one of the few people who visited him or the only one besides the nurses.

So she would talk to him for a while whenever she brought her sister here.

But some months before her sister died, Yue Xi received a ton of debt to pay, either from the hospital or from loans she took out to pay the hospital bills. She even became a luxury prostitute to earn money.

Yue Xi couldn't be considered an extremely beautiful woman capable of causing a kingdom to fall, but she was still able to get any man's attention using just her natural charm.

So the debt collectors went to her and forced it.

As someone who talked to him and brightened his life a bit in the darkest times, Wang Cai would help her.

It was not possible to know if she liked her or not.

The pair continued talking in the hospital garden, while Yue He was taking the exams and it would take a while. There weren't many people passing by and they could have privacy to talk, but…

"Miss Yue, you really were here. He is your boyfriend? You should choose your man better." A tall, thin man commented scornfully. He wore a suit, but he looked like some mobster.

"Miss Yue, you know why we are here, right?" The other raised his hand and intervened. He seemed more serious about the situation.

The place was a hospital and respect was needed in that place.

"Yes…" Yue Xi turned pale at the sight of these men.

"Do you already have this week's money? Or will you postpone the payment so that it accumulates with the fees?"

"I..." She froze at those words, even though she knew the real reason they had come to her.

"Sir, how much does she owe?" Wang Cai intervened.

"Who are you?"

"Wang Cai, you shouldn't"

"You don't need to know my name. I just want to know how much Miss Yue owes you."

"She owes you a total of 250,000 RMBs, including this week's fees." The most serious man in the group spoke without wasting time.

"How do you want to receive the money?"

"We only receive cash. We do not accept transfers or checks."

"It's alright. Just wait for a little. Miss Yue, come with me. Can you follow me to the bank?" Wang Cai held her hands as if they were lovers.

A slight blush crept into her face because it was a little too bold for her. At the same time, her heart beat faster and stronger.

But a little shame was felt by her because Wang Cai was her former student.

A teacher acting this way with a student was like a forbidden relationship.

…

"You can check the money" Wang Cai brought them a small suitcase.

"Boss, the money is here. All very well." The guy who told it said.

"Very good. Miss Yue, our debt has been paid and you don't owe us anything else. Our employees will no longer harass you either. Mr. Wang, it was a great pleasure doing business with you. Goodbye." Their job was just to collect debts, more than that, it wasn't their job.

The group said goodbye after taking the money.

"Wang Cai, how do you…" Yue Xi had heard about her parents' accident but had not imagined that he had so much money after getting a low-level job and the pay was low.

"Miss Yue, have you ever heard of Infinite World?"

"That famous game? Yes, I had seen some commercials on television and social media. I heard that a lot of people are making money with this game"

"Yes. I am making a little more money than when I worked at play for just a few hours a day. Miss Yue, if you want, you can also try the game."

"Wang Cai, I appreciate the recommendation, but I can't buy the helmet. The price is quite high and I can't afford it"

"Miss Yue, I can pay if you want, not only for you but also for your sister. It's good for her to distract herself a bit. But not only that, but I can also pay for her treatment at the hospital." Wang Cai recommended it.

If her medical treatment had been better from the start, Yue He might have survived.

"Wang Cai, I can't take it anymore. That's a lot of money. Just the helmet is already expensive, if you add it to the hospital expenses, it will increase dramatically. I can't take it." Yue Xi strongly refused because didn't want to continue owing Wang Cai even more.

The 250.000 RMBs was already a lot of money for someone like her. If he added more, she wouldn't even know how to deal with it.

"Just accept it." Wang Cai kept insisting.

"Wang Cai, I can accept it, but could you tell me why you are doing this?" She shyly asked why there wasn't much reason for a man to do that to a woman not very related to him.

Unless he has ulterior motives or perverted ones.

When she thought of that reason, a disappointment about Wang Cai rose in her heart. Because he was using money to pick up vulnerable women like her.

"Miss Yue, when I was in my darkest and darkest days, you were a light illuminating my world." He just said that sentence, which left her lost and without understanding the meaning.

In his previous life, the time she spent with him in the hospital was priceless. Even paying all the fortune he got in the Infinite World with her expenses, Wang Cai would still do it.

Wang Cai got the money once, he was sure he could get it again.

"Miss Yue, could you give me your contact information so you can send me the hospital bills? I will also send you and your sister the helmet to play the Infinite World."

"Wang Cai, thanks for that."

"You're welcome"

As he was about to turn around, she stopped him by holding his hand.

Her face was red, but she mustered up the courage to do a daring action.

Yue Xi kissed him on the lips.

"!!!!!!" He was surprised but didn't stop.

The kiss only lasted a few seconds out of shame.

"Wang Cai, you told me that I was the light in your darkest days, right? You can be my light in those dark days?"

His earlier words had a great impact on her heart as a declaration of love for her.

Yue Xi had never felt this before in her life. For the first time, she felt that someone other than her parents was being very nice to her and her sister.

So she mustered up the courage and turned those feelings into actions.

"Yea. I'd like to." Wang Cai would be lying if he said he didn't have feelings for Yue Xi because of the time she spent with him.
