《The Villain's Redemption》Chapter 23 - Trigonometry

"Why are you smiling like that?" Mo Li asked. He eyed the woman who had just finished eating in front of him. "I don't have money with me."
"…"
"I said— "
"I heard you the first time!" Li Yue said, yet the smile on her face didn't falter. "You think… I want to rob you?"
"Isn't that what you've always done? Today, I don't have my phone with me. I just brought enough cash for this meal."
Li Yue rolled her eyes. "You're from a rich family. Why are you acting like you lack money? Even if I rob you every day, your funds won't dwindle at all."
"I know."
"…" So he's just stingy, Li Yue thought. "I was only smiling because I knew that you needed something from me. What is it this time?"
Suspicion flashed in Mo Li's eyes. "I need you to teach me trigonometry."
The smile on Li Yue's face immediately vanished. "Trigonometry?"
"You scored the highest in the entrance exam. I know you are an expert when it comes to math." He answered. "Teach me."
But that was the old Li Yue! How could this man ask her to teach him something she doesn't know? "I can't teach you that."
"Why not?"
Li Yue turned her head away. "I have a headache." She dramatically touched her temples. "Aw. I think there is something wrong with my head." She eyed him and looked at the expression on his face.
"How ungrateful." He responded. "Earlier… I was acting as if we were really close so that Lu Xinyi's friends would take a photo of us and show it to her. This way, she would not ask her parents to get involved. She would think that I am your backer. You could at least teach me trigonometry as a thank you for my kindness."

"Kindness my ass."
"What did you say?"
"I said… you have a kind ass!" Li Yue said. She could tell that this man is not telling her everything. "Tell me honestly, are you planning to do something bad…" She made a deliberate pause. "To me?"
"What are you talking about? I don't like you."
"I don't believe you." This body is worthy of envy, alright. Maybe not as beautiful as the female lead but her skin should be better, and her body is smaller, skinnier. "What's not to like? Don't you think I'm pretty?"
Mo Li stared at her as if she had gone crazy. "Your chest is too flat, legs too skinny, face too small. I could squeeze your face with one hand. You are lazy and are allergic to cleanliness. You— "
"I get it!" Li Yue hissed.
"Why are you angry? You asked me— "
"Shut it!" Too flat? Too skinny? Too small? What kind of description is this?
"Maybe if you could eat more— "
"I said, stop!" She put up her hand in front of his face. "You— You are an inconsiderate man!"
"How was I inconsiderate? You're the one who asked— "
"I am not talking to you!" Li Yue rose from her seat and walked out of the restaurant. However, when she remembered her previous plan, she halted her steps. How could she let anger get the best of her? This is not her body! It has nothing to do with her!
She let out a deep breath.
"You're weird." She heard him say behind her. She didn't even notice that the latter followed her out of the restaurant. "You are weird and ungrateful."
"I am not teaching you trigonometry, and that's that." Even if she wanted to, she couldn't. She simply does not have the capability to do so.

"I can pay you."
"Still, no." She faced him, only to realise that he was standing too close to her. She immediately started walking away from him.
"Per hour."
"How much?"

"Yes." She answered. "How much?"
Mo Li pursed his lips. There's no retort to such a shameless statement. "Ten thousand. Per hour and you will teach me at my flat."
"What's wrong with my apartment?"
"Everything!" Mo Li said, frowning.
......….
'Robot… is there a way for me to gain this body's knowledge of trigonometry?
[Negative. Host lacks points to copy skills.]
'…' Li Yue could not understand why this robot is not helping her accomplish her task! This thing should give her something overpowered! Maybe a telekinetic ability or an ability to teleport herself. That would not only make her mission easier! This would also help her save all the leads in every world! 'Robot— "
[Request Denied. Host should stop daydreaming.]
'…' Li Yue didn't know If she would laugh or cry in this situation.
"We're here." Mo Li said as their car came to a full stop. "You will stay here tonight. Tomorrow is a holiday, so there is no need for you to go to class. Instead, you will teach me trigonometry all day."
Li Yue's lips thinned as she nodded. A whole day of teaching? What if her small brain burst from exhaustion?
[Impossible]
Li Yue turned silent once again before she followed Mo Li out of the car then into the elevator. She eyed one of Mo Li's people who whispered something to him. Until now, she could still feel that Mo Li is scheming against her. Was it possible that he is trying to gauge her intelligence? She shook the thoughts out of her head.
However, the questions on Li Yue's mind were shortly answered when they entered the flat.
"Elder brother Mo Li!" A gentle voice came out of nowhere. Both Mo Li and Li Yue halted their steps and looked at the woman wearing a pale yellow sundress with a gorgeous smile on her face. Soon after, the smile on the woman's face vanished when she saw that a woman was standing beside her elder brother. For a few seconds, silence blanketed the three of them before the woman smiled again. "Elder brother… I was not expecting that you will bring a friend today." Smiling, the woman walked towards Li Yue. "This pretty lady, My name is Bai Lan. I am Elder Brother Li's special step sister. How about you? May I know your name?"

The Forest Dark
Alexa González is alone. That’s fine. Following the sudden loss of her long-time gaming partner, Alexa has fallen back to old, nasty habits; namely, wielding her independent nature like a weapon. It’s one thing to be a solo player by choice. It’s another to be a pariah when the UI disappears, taking the logout button with it. Justin Hayes is not alone. That’s also fine. As a long-time streamer, Justin’s never played DUSKFALL without an audience to keep his attention off the demon-infested forests and brutal violence. But hastily chosen teammates in a world gone sideways can have more repercussions than a few bruised feelings. None of this is fine; not remotely. If either is going to survive, they can’t do it alone, they can’t do it lightly, and they have to figure it out soon... before it’s too late for either of them. Guaranteed Wednesday updates.Contains light LitRPG elements
