My Real-life Dating Sim Game - Chapter 84

“C-compensation? Really??” Lai Jiayi asked in a shaky voice. The girl’s cheeks flushed red from excitement.

“Yes. Name anything you want. I’ll fulfill it.” Zhao Yang nodded. He crossed his legs, taking an imposing pose. He looked several hundred more handsome in Lai Jiayi’s mind now.

“A-anything?” Lai Jiayi’s eyes sparkled. The girl was already thinking about all sorts of things she could ask.

‘Maybe, I can ask him to pay my family’s debt? Or my dad’s hospital expenses?? But that’s too expensive. Let’s test the water for a bit.’

Lai Jiayi looked at Zhao Yang and patiently waited for the man to answer.

“Anything. As long as I can afford it, you can ask anything.” Zhao Yang reaffirmed what he just said. He spoke in a resolute tone, not sounding like he’s lying at all.

Even Tianjin was taken aback. She poked Zhao Yang’s head and whispered through telepathy,

[Master, that’s too much, ah! Just because of a few mistakes, you want to give her anything she wants? What if she asks for something expensive??]

The swan’s heart-shaped screen on her chest glowed in red light, showing her anger.

But, Zhao Yang didn’t have any intention to change his mind. The guy simply nodded.

[I don’t mind it. I already have a guess what this girl will ask, anyway.]

‘She will either ask me to pay her family’s debts or pay for her father’s hospital fees. Both of them are considered doing a good deed.’

Zhao Yang hummed leisurely. He looked less intimidating and was more friendly this way.

“So? What can I do for you, miss Lai?” Zhao Yang asked again in a gentle tone. His actions were so different from his usual one, startling Lai Jiayi for the second time.

‘Eh, why is Zhao Yang so kind tonight? He even looks so friendly and less cold. Is this because he is a bit drunk…or is it just my imagination?’

Lai Jiayi blinked. The girl couldn’t move her eyes away from Zhao Yang for a while until Zhao Yang’s voice sounded.

“Miss Lai?”

! Oh, okay, okay, focus!

“Mmm…” Lai Jiayi lowered her head. She played with her finger and slowly opened her mouth.

‘I don’t need to play a good girl acting anymore. So, I should be shameless and ask a good deal, right? Let’s ask for a sum of money to pay for my dad’s expenses!’

Lai Jiayi rubbed her palms, feeling her blood was boiling in excitement.

‘If I can get the money, I can exterminate the contract with that doctor. This…is the best!’

“That, I…” Lai Jiayi was about to state her needs when a notification suddenly sounded in her mind.

TING! [Otome Game assistance activated!]

“Can I accompany you to drink from now on?”

“Can you ask the daycare and the apartment owner to raise my salary?”

10. 9. 8.

These sentences appeared on a dark blue transparent panel. The panel hovered in front of Lai Jiayi’s eyes, blocking her from seeing Zhao Yang’s face.

….FCK!!

Lai Jiayi felt like punching the panel.

‘Why is the otome game assistance activated now?! It’s also a verbal choice!!’

[Fck. Yaya, if I don’t ask any of the options and ask Zhao Yang to grant my personal wish, will I be eliminated?] Lai Jiayi broke in a cold sweat.

‘And here I thought I could get easy money!’

[Yes, quack. That’s the rule, quack. If you don’t choose, the game will choose for you. But if you don’t do as it says, instant elimination, quack!] Yaya warned Lai Jiayi in a grave tone.

The duck glanced at the timer on the board, and it already showed 5.

[Hurry, choose, quack! This one will raise or drop your barometer, quack!!]

Lai Jiayi felt like the whole world was against her. The girl took a deep breath as the image of her easy money shattered to pieces.

‘Damn it. The game company is so cunning. It deliberately gives this assistance, so that I can’t get easy money!’

The girl bit her lips as she read the sentences.

The first choice sounded decent while the second…who would ask for a salary raise in this situation? It’s better to ask for money using a roundabout way!

[I choose A.] Lai Jiayi weakly spoke as the timer hit 0.

‘Ahhhh, and here I expect to ask my dad’s hospital fee by telling Zhao Yang about my pitiful life story. At least I can get Zhao Yang’s sympathy.’

Lai Jiayi shed invisible tears, saying goodbye to her potential money. She was already too tired to even get mad at this system. The girl could only accept her fate.

TING! [You choose A. “Can I accompany you to drink from now on?” Please say so in 10 seconds.]

10. 9. 8.

The sentences disappeared, replaced with a huge timer. It urged Lai Jiayi to say the choice she just made.

The girl took a deep breath and sighed.

‘Whatever. At least, my barometer might rise.’

“T-that, b-boss. As compensation…c-can I accompany you t-to drink from now on?” Lai Jiayi asked in a soft voice. The girl whimpered, looking like a frail little animal.

She peeked at the man, waiting for his response, but Zhao Yang just froze. It’s as if someone pressed a pause button on his body.

‘What? Accompanying me…to drink?’

Zhao Yang’s jaw dropped to the floor without him realizing it.

“Are you…sure?” Zhao Yang blinked. He stared blankly at Lai Jiayi’s trembling figure. “You can ask for something more precious, you know?”

Zhao Yang’s throat tightened.

“Like– dresses, jewelry, money…, and I can give you tons of money if you need it.”

‘So, ask more! Ask anything!’
