Chu Ning was right. He had been in this state for almost two weeks. If Chu Ning had not come to look for him that afternoon, he might have starved for another day.

“Lu Chao, you’ve already owed the internet fee for many days. If you’re leaving now, shouldn’t you pay the internet fee?” When Chu Ning walked past the front desk on the first floor, Lu Chao, who had been following behind her, was stopped by the manager.

“Tell me how much it is. Don’t delay my meal time. The beauty in front will give it to you,” Lu Chao said impatiently.

“Internet fee, drinks, instant noodles, and cigarettes, it’s 358 yuan in total,” the manager said, upset at seeing Lu Chao’s arrogant look despite owing money.

“Isn’t there a member price? It can’t be that expensive, right?” Lu Chao asked in confusion.

“Your membership has long expired,” the manager replied frostily.

“358 yuan, right? I’ve already transferred it over.” Chu Ning had taken out her phone and scanned the QR code at the front desk.

In S City, as long as one was able-bodied, a normal person’s monthly income would not fall below 6,000 yuan. Chu Ning did not know why a talent like Lu Chao had fallen into this state.

He was almost comparable to a beggar on the streets.

Chu Ning also knew why Lu Chao had stayed in the internet café. He didn’t have the money to pay his debt, so the manager wouldn’t let him leave.

“Alright then. Tsk. Let’s go and eat,” Lu Chao waved his hand. He first looked at the manager in disdain and then urged Chu Ning to leave.

“The air outside is still fresher,” Lu Chao lamented after walking out of the internet café.

“I rented a house, but unfortunately, I don’t have any income. I don’t have money to pay for rent, water, and electricity, so I can only make do with it in an internet cafe. It’s cheap here,” Lu Chao said helplessly, spreading out his hands.

“What do you want to eat?” Chu Ning said with a smile.

“After eating, go buy some clothes and take a shower. You can’t go on like this,” Chu Ning continued.

“I’ll listen, I’ll listen to you. I don’t have money anyway,” Lu Chao said casually.

“I’ll pay.” Chu Ning felt that something must have happened to Lu Chao for him to have become like this.

On the surface, Lu Chao looked like he didn’t care about anything, but Chu Ning knew that there must be a knot in his heart that was difficult to undo.

In the end, this person still had his pride.

Lu Chao’s family was rather well-off. Even if he had asked Chu Jing to lend him some money to make a living, he would not have ended up like this. Chu Jing obviously didn’t know his friend Lu Chao’s actual situation.

There was an eatery not far from the internet café. Chu Ning felt that, in his current state, Lu Chao would not care whether or not the food was delicious. He might die if he continued to go hungry.

“Order whatever you want, I’ll pay,” Chu Ning said with a smile after they sat down in the small restaurant.

“I suggest you order some noodles or porridge. It’ll be easier to digest and you won’t choke,” Chu Ning continued softly.

“Chu Jing didn’t tell me that he had such a beautiful and considerate sister,” Lu Chao took a closer look at Chu Ning, who was sitting opposite him. She was pretty and thoughtful. Even if she had a purpose for looking for him, she was in no hurry to speak.

“Putting aside your talent, it’s nothing to treat you to a meal for your recovery. Bai Hong, can I trouble you to check out the clothing store nearby? After the meal, you can head to the hotel to take a shower or take a nap? Anything is fine,” Chu Ning was not in a hurry.

“Alright,” he said. Bai Hong left after hearing Chu Ning’s words.

After a few minutes, the food was served.

Chu Ning silently watched Lu Chao gobble down the food.

She believed in Chu Jing’s judgment and knew that Lu Chao was not an ordinary person.

“You know, I used to think about the meaning of life. Back then, I felt that nothing was challenging to me. I came from a good family, had a girlfriend who was so beautiful that it made people envious, and I had a successful career. I was in good spirits,” Lu Chao mumbled as he gulped down the food.

“But now, I feel that it’s such a blessing to be able to eat my fill! It’s really torturous to live, but I’m not dead. I’m just like a dog on its last legs,” Lu Chao rued after swallowing the food in his mouth with great difficulty and drinking a large glass of water.
