With her outstanding abilities, she attracted a group of older students. Thanks to the fame they brought, her reputation grew. Later, the business expanded—not only did she teach dance, but she also helped choreograph routines, making the business even more popular.

The square dance routines she choreographed started in Daxing and gradually spread throughout all of Yanjing. If anyone learned a new dance routine and brought it back to their neighborhood, they would instantly become the center of attention and gain respect.

After the square dance became famous, the training center’s partner dance classes also took off. Many middle-aged and older men with receding hairlines came to learn to dance. After mastering the moves, they would dance with two ladies at the park, and that was pure joy.

Moreover, as the beloved teacher of these uncles and aunties, her network made daily life incredibly convenient—no need to worry about getting a hospital appointment, no waiting in line at popular venues...

How did I end up transmigrating?

I really didn’t want to transmigrate!

【Bronze Newbie Gift Pack 2 is being distributed...】

Immersed in memories, Brian Clark was interrupted by the system notification sound.

【Congratulations, host, you have gained 1 point of rap proficiency. (Music) Rap: E (1/2).】

【Note: If the host wants to continue improving attributes, you must make your partner experience positive emotions, such as happiness, surprise, joy, being moved...】

【On the contrary, if your partner experiences negative emotions, such as sadness, sorrow, anger... attribute points will be randomly deducted.】

Is this system dissatisfied with what the previous host did and wants to compensate the childhood friend?

Brian Clark more or less understood: basically, if you treat your partner well, you can improve your own abilities; if not, you’ll lose points.

Not bad—a nice girl, and being good to her also benefits yourself. This kind of upgrade system is acceptable.

But this newbie gift pack is way too stingy—just one point of experience, not even enough to level up.

Positive emotions like “happiness” and “surprise” are relatively easy to achieve.

She’s taking time away from making money to help me; I should give her a gift to thank her.

Brian Clark pondered what to give, reached into his pocket for his wallet, opened it, and instantly made the same face as the “empty wallet” meme from his previous life.

Not even a single 50-yuan bill?

He pulled out his phone to check. After checking, he found that WeChat and his bank card together had just over a hundred yuan left.

Three thousand a month for living expenses, the phone screen is all cracked and broken—where did all the money go? How could he be this poor?

Could it be...

He checked his WeChat transaction history, and sure enough, it was all spent on his ex-girlfriend. Each red envelope was at least 200 yuan, 521 was a regular transfer, and there were several transfers of thousands.

Why did he transfer so much money?

Brian Clark curiously looked up his contacts. It was easy to find—starred contact and pinned chat.

He opened it and saw the most recent messages.

【Emily Thompson: Baby, did you eat zongzi for Dragon Boat Festival?】

【Brian Clark: No.】

【Emily Thompson: Oh my, you didn’t eat zongzi for Dragon Boat Festival? You’re punished to send me a 2,000 yuan red envelope. Let’s see if you dare next time!】

【Brian Clark: Hehe, my bad, I’ll still dare next time (playful)—WeChat transfer 2,000.】

You really deserve it!

Brian Clark didn’t dare scroll further up in the chat, afraid he’d faint from anger.

Ten minutes later...

Brian Clark closed the calculator, typed a line, and sent it to his ex-girlfriend.

【Emily Thompson, I respect your decision, and I agree to break up. I just calculated: during our relationship, after deducting the three 99-yuan transfers you sent me, I transferred a total of 21,042 yuan to you. I’ll let you keep the small change—please return 21,040 yuan to me, and I won’t bother you anymore.】

Luckily, I never wrote anything about “voluntary gifts.” Even if I donated it, I wouldn’t give it to someone like you!

...

...

“Ah~ baby, my hands are dirty, can’t you treat me a little more gently!”

Emily Thompson, sitting in the passenger seat of the sports car, coyly pushed away the hand on her leg. She took out her phone from her luxury bag when it chimed, and her face instantly darkened upon seeing the WeChat message.

After a few seconds in a daze, her long manicured nails tapped rapidly on the phone screen.

【Emily Thompson: Hah, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of man. If you want to calculate things, then how do you account for my three years of youth?】

Youth? Only you have youth? A man’s youth doesn’t count?

On the other side of the screen, Brian Clark clenched his fist after reading, and immediately typed back.

【Brian Clark: Fine, you name your price. Should I count it as 200 or 500 per year?】

You!!!

She never expected the man who used to be so obedient to her would suddenly change his attitude. The contrast made Emily Thompson grit her teeth in anger.

“Baby, what’s wrong? Who made you so angry?”

The man in the driver’s seat glanced over, then put his hand back on her white thigh, patting it gently in comfort.

“I’m so mad! How can there be such a low-class man? My ex-boyfriend wants me to return all the red envelopes he sent me before!” Emily Thompson pouted, her red lips trembling, giving the man a look that stirred his protective instincts.

“How much?”

The man in the driver’s seat smiled nonchalantly and asked.

“Fifty-two thousand.”

Emily Thompson blinked as she replied.

The man in the driver’s seat waved his hand generously. “Send it back to him and cut ties. I’ll transfer you sixty thousand in a bit!”

“Baby, you’re so good to me!”

【Here’s your money. Don’t bother me again, okay?—Transfer 21,000.】
