Chapter 835: Not here, someone will see

Those days were very bitter.

In front of others, Tian Tangqinghua was a young lady from a wealthy family, and when buying things, she always acted like "this little bit of money is nothing."

But in private, she was just an ordinary college student from the countryside with no special features, and her finances were not abundant.

She often went to convenience stores to buy bento boxes that were discounted at night.

In order to pretend to be a wealthy person, she worked desperately for the past few years.

During the most difficult financial times, she had to work three or four jobs a day, and her sleep time was often only about three or four hours.

Fortunately, that period happened to be during the holidays, and she didn't need to balance her studies while working, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to handle it.

But even so, sometimes the expenses were too high, and she had to borrow money from others to maintain her persona as a "young lady from a wealthy family."

The persona was maintained, but after the activities ended, she had to work even harder to pay back the money.

Although it was bitter, for the sake of these "friends," she was willing to live this kind of life, and she had been persisting all along without ever complaining.

She had never mentioned these things in front of outsiders.

The only one who had been bearing all of this was her alone.

Every time she felt tired, whenever she thought of the smiles on her "friends'" faces, she would secretly cheer herself up in her heart.

"Qinghua, hold on, you can do it!"

She didn't know how many times she had said words like this to herself.

Must maintain this hard-won friendship!

This belief allowed her to persist in this kind of life.

But after she heard the words spoken by Bai Teng Taimei and Fu Pu Lingzhi, the belief she had persisted in for so many years turned into a joke in these short few minutes.

Then what had she been persisting for all these years?

Others didn't treat her as a friend at all, but as a cash cow that still had utility value.

Once the leaves on her cash cow tree withered completely, the "friends" she previously believed in would cut down the trunk without hesitation.

Squeezing out the last bit of utility value from her cash cow tree.

Then, her "friends" would throw her directly to the side.

Just like throwing away trash, they didn't look at the friendship of several years at all; not only that, they even felt some disgust.

In these four years, everything she did became meaningless.

If one had to say, it was just a financial interest relationship:

She provided the money, and they cooperated by smiling.

They played the role of friends on the surface, but in reality, they never treated her as a friend.

Previously, Fu Pu Lingzhi said he had been kept in the dark by her for four years, but wasn't she the same?

She had also been kept in the dark for these four years. She had always thought they were her good friends, but she didn't expect... the truth to be like this.

Thinking about it now, if all this money had been used to improve her own life, how comfortable and pleasant her life would have become.

Working desperately for so many years, living frugally, if she could have saved the money spent on them, it would definitely have been a significant amount.

This money wouldn't necessarily allow her to live the life of those truly wealthy families, but it would definitely have allowed her to move into an apartment with a better environment.

She wouldn't have had to go out to work before dawn. She could have slept in on weekends.

She could have woken up near noon to eat lunch at a nearby restaurant, instead of eating the discounted bento she bought the night before.

In the afternoon, she wouldn't have had to rush to the next place to work; she could have gone shopping, watched movies, or gone to amusement parks to play.

Unfortunately, all of this had already happened, and that money had already been spent.

The pressure she had borne over these years hadn't dissipated, but had been piling up; it was just that the belief in her heart had allowed her to hold on...

Now, her belief had turned into a joke, and the immense pressure accumulated over these years had also turned into heart-wrenching resentment.

The greater the pressure, the deeper the resentment.

That was why she had developed the intent to kill.

Akaso Kaze lifted the girl's head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Little fool, how can people like that be friends?"

"Human hearts cannot be bought with money."

"You could have been an ordinary girl for these four years, lived a happy campus life, and had a plain yet sweet romance in college."

"But you spent four years maintaining this fake friendship; it's really not worth it."

Looking at Tian Tangqinghua, whose eyes were once again filled with tears, Akaso Kaze couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her affectionately.

"Alright, I'll take this kiss as you commissioning me."

"Commission?" Tian Tangqinghua blushed, with tears in her eyes, and looked up at Akaso Kaze in a daze.

"Yeah," Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up slightly. "I am the strongest Onmyoji in Tokyo, known as the Bane of Evil."

"Deceiving a friend's feelings is also a kind of evil."

Ding-ding.

Tian Tangqinghua's phone rang, but she didn't want to answer it.

Akaso Kaze's embrace was truly warm, and his kiss was even more intoxicating.

Tian Tangqinghua looked at the man of her dreams right before her eyes and really didn't want to let go.

"Lord Akaso, can you fulfill a small request for me?"

The girl blushed, stood on her tiptoes again, and pouted her little lips.

Akaso Kaze started out just feeling pity, but it quickly changed.

The impulse that had just been suppressed was stirred up again.

Tian Tangqinghua was held tightly in his arms, almost unable to breathe.

"Mr. Akaso, not here, someone will see..." ===== CHAPTER 837 =====
