In college, Cheng Yiwen was lucky enough to meet a wealthy benefactor online.
Every Wednesday and Saturday, the two would talk over voice chat, and Cheng Yiwen would read aloud from a book for half an hour.
Within three minutes, Mr. X would pay her in full. The job was easy and the pay was good, so Cheng Yiwen was happy to earn money as a college student.

"I love you, Ji Xiheng."
But there were certain times when Ji Xiheng couldn't bear to hear Cheng Yiwen speak.
His palm, lips, fingers, tie...
