I rubbed my temples vigorously, trying to wake my brain up.
"You got blackout drunk last night," Sister Ma said with a smile. "With that Jägermeister, it's normal for you not to remember what happened."
"I thought..."
"You thought you had me..."
Sister Ma pointed at my nose, laughing so hard she nearly doubled over. "Your imagination is way too vivid!"
I awkwardly chuckled, "I misunderstood."
"But you really did bite me."
Sister Ma's smile faded, and her expression turned serious. "You bit my collarbone, and my stockings got torn when I helped you out of the bar."
I let out a long sigh of relief.
So that's what happened.
"I'm sorry, sis, I really don't remember."
"It's fine."
Sister Ma opened her phone and winked at me. "Open the payment code."
"Payment code?"
"Of course," Sister Ma rolled her eyes at me. "How else am I supposed to support you?"
"Support me?"
I widened my eyes, completely confused.
"It's not support; it's a partnership."
Sister Ma shook her phone. "Hurry up, the payment code."
I opened the payment code, and Sister Ma scanned it.
In less than a minute, I received a transfer notification.
6000 yuan, not a penny less.
"This..."
I looked up at Sister Ma and asked, "Sister, what does this mean?"
"It doesn't mean much."
Sister Ma smiled and said, "From now on, your monthly income will be deposited into this card."
"As long as I don't have classes, I can come here?"
"That's right."
Sister Ma pointed at me and added, "And I will arrange some work for you."
"Got it."
I nodded and put my phone away.
Sister Ma stretched lazily and walked to the window, pulling back the curtains.
The sunlight shone on her lace nightgown, revealing glimpses of the scenery beneath it.
My heart raced, and I quickly averted my gaze.
"Well... Sister, I'm leaving now."
"Stop right there."
Sister Ma turned around and glanced at me. "In such a hurry to leave? Do you have something to do?"
"I..."
I stammered, unsure of how to respond.
"Since you have nothing to do, then don't rush off."
Sister Ma pointed to the sofa. "Sit down; let's chat for a while."
Reluctantly, I sat on the sofa, feeling anxious inside.
Sister Ma sat across from me, crossing her legs.
She raised her hand and checked her watch. "There's still an hour left."
"An hour for what?"
"For dinner."
Sister Ma smiled slightly and said, "I've ordered takeout. You can eat here for lunch today."
"Eat here?"
"What's wrong with that?"
"No, no." I quickly waved my hand. "I just feel like it's not appropriate for me to be here."
"There's nothing inappropriate about it."
Sister Ma said calmly, "In the future, you'll often eat here."
"Often?"
"Yes."
Sister Ma nodded. "As long as you don't have classes, come here. I've told you, I'll arrange work for you."
"I understand." I nodded and didn't say anything more.
Sister Ma also fell silent, simply gazing out the window.
The view outside was beautiful, but my mind was not on the scenery.
I knew that accepting this 6,000 yuan meant I was agreeing to Sister Ma's terms.
Although her conditions were not harsh, I still hesitated.
In 2015, 6,000 yuan was not a small amount.
At that time, my living expenses were only 1,500 yuan, of which 1,000 yuan was from a student loan and 500 yuan was from a scholarship.
For an ordinary family, 1,500 yuan for living expenses is not low, but for me, it was barely enough to get by.
I came from a rural background; both my parents were ordinary farmers, and I had younger siblings at home.
To support my college education, they had already incurred a significant amount of debt.
So for me, money was very important.
I admit that I really needed the money.
