"Cong Xue, thank you for accompanying me to the hospital today. Please accept this red envelope as a token of my appreciation."

Just after leaving the hospital, my roommate Yan Qin stuffed a red envelope into my hand.

Before I could react, Yan Qin waved at me: "I have something to do at home, so I won't be able to see you off."

With that, she got into a taxi and disappeared.

I looked at the red envelope in my hand, caught between frustration and amusement.

My father is a famous Feng Shui master, and I have learned quite a bit about Feng Shui from him over the years.

With one glance, I could tell that this red envelope contained "buying-life money."

To confirm my suspicion, I carefully examined the red envelope.

Sure enough, the bottom right corner on the back had Yan Qin's birthdate and time written in red ink.

It was written in such a small font that it would be easy to miss if not observed closely.

I was completely speechless.

Yan Qin accidentally got pregnant, and after her boyfriend found out, he disappeared without a trace.

She didn't dare to tell her parents and begged me in the dormitory for half a day, so I accompanied her to the hospital for the abortion.

She must be worried that her body would be weak after the abortion, affecting her final exams and costing her the scholarship. So she came up with this lousy plan to buy my life and help herself recover.

Unbelievable! I kindly accompanied you to the hospital, and you decide to buy my life in return.

It's one thing to buy a life, but you couldn't even put in more money? Just 200 yuan, isn't that a joke?

I sneered coldly. After all, I am a Feng Shui master's daughter. If you want to mess with me, you've picked the wrong person.

Without further ado, I took a taxi straight to the nearest cemetery.

This "buying-life money" isn't valid unless spent by the intended recipient. Only then does it truly buy someone's life.

I wandered around the cemetery all afternoon until it was completely dark, finally squatting down in front of a grave.

I calculated all the people buried in the cemetery; the only one fitting the bill was an old lecher who had committed many sins during his lifetime. He hadn't reincarnated yet and was suffering in the 18th layer of hell.

He's the one. I took out the red envelope, lit it with a lighter, and recited Yan Qin's birthdate and time.

"Brother, you might not know my friend, but she's had a crush on you since childhood. You don't know how many times she fainted from crying after you died. Today, she asked me to burn some money for you. It's just 200 yuan, not much, but it's her token of affection. Please spend it sparingly, and if you need more, go find her."

As the red envelope burned to ashes, I stood up, patted the dust off, and headed back to school.

As soon as I got into the dormitory, Yan Qin eagerly rushed up to me.

"Cong Xue, did you spend the red envelope money?"

I nodded repeatedly: "I spent it all, thanks a lot."

Hearing this, Yan Qin beamed with joy: "It's good that you spent it. It was the least I could do for your help in accompanying me to the hospital."

With that, she quickly climbed into her bed.

I gave her a meaningful look. Kid, your good days are just beginning.

Whether it was because of her good mood or weakness after the abortion, Yan Qin soon started snoring.

But I couldn't sleep. I lay in bed, scrolling through my phone.

Just past midnight, a sudden chill washed over me, and I shivered involuntarily.

I saw the tightly closed dorm door creak open, and a gaunt man silently appeared at the entrance.

The man sniffed the air, then let out a strange laugh, climbing directly onto Yan Qin's bed.
