I want to tell Pei Mo something important.

On the contrary, I want to tell him the absurd truth of the loop.

If it were Pei Mo, he would believe me.

But before I could tell him, Pei Mo unexpectedly died in front of me again because of Zhao Ruo.

This time, he took a stab for Zhao Ruo, blocking the thug's knife.

I initiated the second loop.

The plot advanced again. Zhao Ruo returned to China and transferred to the same class as Pei Mo.

Before the thugs appeared, I took money and drove them away in advance.

While I was relieved that Pei Mo could escape death, I heard mocking laughter from behind.

Pei Mo guarded Zhao Ruo behind him, his eyes falling on the money in my hand.

"Chen Zhaomu.

"You really are a born actor. Acting in pain, bullying, tricking money, hiring people... Is there anything you can't do."

It's been a long time since I saw Pei Mo. The last time we met was when he caught me "tricking money."

He went home for a family reunion and saw me dancing and performing in front of his father.

When I came out, Pei Mo walked out from the corner and slapped a handful of money in my face.

"Chen Zhaomu, it's disgusting how you're trying to please my dad for money."

I didn't argue with Pei Mo, nor did I tell him that the money was meant to save him and Zhao Ruo.

Those thugs extorted 100,000 from me.

Pei Mo protected me for the first sixteen years. Like an addiction to candy, I clung to his warmth and didn't want to sever our close connection.

That ability to loop made me think I could protect him in return.

But with the money I saved up alone, I couldn't save Pei Mo.

In addition, during the first loop, Pei Mo scratched my face.

The doctor said the wound reached the bone and needed stitches with anesthesia.

I chose not to have anesthesia to save money on imported anesthesia.

And with the money I saved, I just managed to gather that 100,000.

Even though I didn't have anesthesia, it still hurts now.

Fortunately, before the surgery, I ate a piece of saved candy.

I thought that as long as Pei Mo was safe, I could find an opportunity to explain things to him.

I would be able to get lots of candy from Pei Mo again... so much that I could forget about this pain.

But my silence once again pushed Pei Mo away.

Even though the thugs took the money and Pei Mo was safe, I lost the chance to explain next time.
