The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts

"I say, if this keeps going, won't the memories you've secretly stashed away start to disappear too?"

"Pretty much."

"Didn't you eat quite a bit in the last timeline?"

"...Only the food from back then works."

"Seems like you didn't eat enough, then."

Tong Ge looked at her with disdain, thinking it's you, this Demoness, who stole the most to eat!

But generally speaking, Demonesses don't eat...

While speaking, the two were sitting in the activity room of the horticulture department at Huai City University, watering the potted plants on the windowsill.

Tong Ge really enjoyed tending to these flowers and plants.

On this timeline, Xia Yubing was Lin Shuang's junior and successfully won over her slightly naive senior, becoming his girlfriend.

She pursed her lips, recalling Lin Shuang's blushing face, "Ah lala, hubby's shy look is truly delicious~"

"...Does that perverted brother-in-law actually have a shy day?"

"Super cute, right? Ah lala, I'm blushing too."

Tong Ge gave her a disdainful glance, "...Is this Demoness also turning innocent?"

"Oh my, even though we're old married couples, I still get genuinely shy and red-faced in front of hubby."

Xia Yubing covered her cheeks with her hands, "Little Pigeon Minister~ you can just look at hubby and me with envy and jealousy, loving each other."

The Little Pigeon Minister was clipping the bonsai with scissors, "I remember the last time you moved into my house on that very day, Demoness."

"That was just to help you out~ I was afraid you'd be too tired to do your research~"

Xia Yubing playfully poked her cheek, "Do your research well, I'll take good care of hubby, no need to worry~"

In this timeline, Xia Yubing was able to help her family establish a vast business empire early on, securing enough funds to assist Tong Ge in continuing her research.

She finally made a breakthrough in her progress.

"Life is all of memories connected..."

"To go to an earlier timeline and achieve a happier result..."

"We need to gather more memories."

Xia Yubing gently caressed the watered leaves, as tenderly as if she were touching Lin Shuang's cheek.

"...No matter how many times I hear this theory, it still has nothing to do with physics, it completely turns into the feel of cultivation."

Tong Ge flicked the water droplets from her fingertips onto her face, punishing her for disrespecting modern physics.

"The theoretical basis of crossing timelines is still physics, it's just that the coordinate to which space-time to cross is located by memories."

Xia Yubing clasped her hands, "Got it, scientific cultivation, combining ancient and modern."

This time, Tong Ge didn't retort disdainfully, but instead, after a moment of silence, she spoke softly again.

"In the next timeline, I probably won't have any memories either, it will just be you alone."

Xia Yubing twirled her hair with her fingers, "Ah lala, is this usually cold on the outside but warm on the inside little sister-in-law showing care for me?"

Tong Ge smiled, "No, I'm worried this Demoness will elope with him and eat everything herself."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring him to meet all of you..."

Xia Yubing hugged her, "Hmm~ at most I'll first taste a little for you all."

...

Xia Yubing, bearing all the memories alone, traveled through many places to collect more memories of happiness.

She visited the timeline where Lin Shuang and Tong Yao were happily married with children, becoming good friends with the couple, and often picking up Lin Yao from school. The little girl would sweetly call her "godmother."

She also visited the timeline where Lin Shuang and Su Wan, childhood sweethearts, finally got together. Wanwan would sometimes vent to her, the good girlfriend, saying Shen Jing's office floozy always seemed to have an eye on "Big Dummy Lin." She thought to herself the one most tempted and wanting to steal was right in front of her~

She even went to the timeline where Lin Shuang and Yan Han were dependent on each other and served as their bridesmaid. On that day, the groom Lin Shuang got drunk, and she helped little Han carry Lin Shuang back to the bedroom. Unable to resist, she secretly kissed him.

She's his Yubing, of course, it's not stealing a kiss~

It's her only way, walking through different timelines, being merely an observer, collecting memories of happiness.

Bit by bit accumulating, for achieving that happiest ending.

There were also lots of mistaken timelines... they experienced separations over and over again.

Not to mention those.

Xia Yubing erased these mistaken timelines, continuing to gather more happiness with him and everyone.

She witnessed a timeline where Lin Shuang and Xia Yixin ran a small clinic together, living peacefully and lovingly as a couple.

She watched as he formed a singing duo with Yu Zhishui, a husband-wife team, becoming wildly popular just like Phoenix Legend.

And Zhu Xiaoman, the "persistent" little Demoness who, since middle school, wrote love letters to him all the way until college graduation, marathon-loving for over a decade before finally catching him.

Ji Lingmeng's timeline is even more unique. In her timeline, she became a Magic Girl, with Lin Shuang as her master.

Xia Yubing traversed through countless branches of choices, continuously rewinding and saving, collecting all sorts of CG about happiness.

Finally... she achieved a happy ending that belonged to all of them.

Standing once more at the entrance of Huai City University, Xia Yubing found Yixin early this time and also found Zhu Xiaoman, getting the Secret Sect Demoness, who excels at weaving dreams, to use the bit of spiritual power saved according to the plan to create a "system" to gift him.

The system would guide him to find her, and the system would gradually help everyone remember everything.

That day... Xia Yubing, holding Xia Yixin, sat in that horticulture department's activity room, feeling more nervous than ever.

Waiting for an incredibly long-anticipated heartbeat, deafening.

As if five thousand years ago when she first met him, her heart was as if struck by Cupid's arrow.

He would step by step walk up to the fifth floor of the teaching building, open this door that has awaited for five thousand years, and see her... pouring out the longing accumulated over five thousand years.

She would tilt her head, smiling just like when they first met five thousand years ago, and ask him.

"Is it beautiful?"

He would honestly reply just like five thousand years ago.

"Beautiful."

And so they... met again.
