"Kun Ge... Kun Ge..."

It wasn't until someone pushed him hard that Liu Kun was startled out of his daze.

Turning his head, he saw that it was his roommate Li Meng. He twisted his neck and asked, "What's up, Lao Si?"

"Lao Da wants to go out to eat, do you want to come with us?" Li Meng asked, but his face had lost the enthusiasm he had before.

Obviously, after his conversation with Sun Cheng, he had also noticed the changes in Liu Kun.

"Eat? You guys go ahead, I'm not hungry for now..." Liu Kun replied, touching his stomach, which was starting to feel hungry. His face was pale, but he refused to go out with them, saying that he wasn't really hungry.

Just as Lao Da was about to persuade him again, Li Meng pulled him away, nodding in agreement, "Alright, we'll go first!"

"Okay!"

After the two left, with no outsiders around in their shared apartment, Liu Kun's already pale face could no longer hold up, becoming even darker and uglier.

"Why do people suddenly die? What if the police trace it back to me? What should I do..." Liu Kun muttered to himself, feeling more and more scared as he thought about it. He buried his head in his arms on the table, trembling slightly.

This world is so unfair.

Liu Kun had actually felt this way a long time ago.

He was working harder than anyone else, but he was born into a poor family in a central province.

His family situation, which was already bad, did not improve when he was accepted into the top university in the country, Nan Du Industrial University, because of its high tuition fees.

Originally, his family scrimped and saved to support him while he worked part-time on campus, but with the help of a few roommates who never looked down on him, his years at Nan Du changed Liu Kun a lot.

However, everything changed when he met that girl.

Her name was also Liu, Liu Tian. She was a girl who loved to smile, and even her name was full of sweetness. She was a junior in the same major as him.

They met unexpectedly during a departmental event in their final year of university. Since the first time he laid eyes on her, Liu Kun felt like he had been struck by lightning, and all he could think about was her.

Later, with the encouragement of his roommates, he finally mustered up the courage to confess to her. Although she didn't give him a direct answer, he at least had a chance to pursue her.

After that, he put all his effort into pleasing her and creating countless romantic moments. But with his already thin wallet, he soon found himself struggling in this comedy called "love."

Without his part-time job income and with his roommates unable to offer unlimited help, Liu Kun found himself in debt after debt. He was still caught up in the love comedy that the girl wove for him and couldn't extricate himself from it. He even made a mistake that he would later regret deeply - he borrowed money from a loan shark disguised as a "student loan."

"I really should die..." Liu Kun couldn't help but feel scared whenever he thought about this recently.

Who are these people who lend money with such high interest rates? There are the children of officials, the children of the rich, and even the members of clubs. If they had a little bit of conscience, they wouldn't lend money at such high interest rates and would be the kind of ruthless characters who would swallow others whole.

Thinking about his own experience, it was exactly like this.

At first, he only borrowed a few thousand yuan from "student loans," but unexpectedly, when it was that girl's birthday, she gave him a phone as a gift, and he quickly spent it all. He had no choice but to borrow more, and to his surprise, the loan shark was very welcoming and immediately lent him more money.

So, time after time, Liu Kun found himself borrowing more and more until he finally realized that something was wrong - he owed the "student loan" company tens of thousands of yuan, an amount that a college student could never repay.

Finally, it seemed like they felt that the stupid pig had been fattened up enough and it was time to slaughter him. The student loan company quickly came knocking on his door to demand repayment.

There were no more gentle words or friendly attitudes like in the beginning. There was only intimidation and pressure. After being beaten and threatened for the second time, and being told that they would call his parents to repay the debt, Liu Kun was forced to sign a new loan agreement and borrow even more money with higher interest rates to repay the old debt.

By now, it was too late to be afraid. In order to keep his family from finding out about his troubles outside, Liu Kun had to become a puppet for the student loan company and search for more profitable prey at school.

"Our love, once gone, will never return..."

Suddenly, Liu Kun's phone rang, startling him in the midst of his fear. When he saw who was calling, he felt a chill run down his spine and hesitated to answer the phone.

The phone rang for a few more seconds before finally stopping. Liu Kun breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put his phone away when it rang again.

He glanced at it and saw that it was the last call he wanted to receive, so he hesitated for a moment before finally answering.

"Hello..."

"You finally answered my call..." a young man's cold voice came from the other end of the phone.

Liu Kun swallowed a mouthful of spit and tried to calm down. His voice still trembled slightly as he replied, "Oh, Cheng, sorry about that, I was doing laundry outside, what can I do for you..."

"Oh..." came the even colder reply. Liu Kun felt like he was talking to a block of ice. He knew Cheng's personality well and even suspected that his former roommate knew everything he had done.

He didn't know how to respond, but fortunately, Cheng spoke up again. As soon as he heard his voice, Liu Kun froze. "I need to ask you something. You know what it is. Meet me at the River Street Park in half an hour. Whether you come or not is up to you, but you've done something and you need to give me an explanation... *click*"

The phone call ended, but Liu Kun held onto his new 6s phone tightly, feeling cold all over from head to toe.

He understood that Cheng knew everything he had done, and he was filled with panic, guilt, and embarrassment.

He didn't know how to face his former roommate, his once good friend who he had nearly pushed into a pit with his own hands.
