Diana also sensed my embarrassment and tweeted, "Let's go shopping then, and visit the park."
Looking at her reply, I felt both touched and powerless. My family background is average among the class. In contrast, there are plenty of wealthy students, and even some ordinary students don't seem to lack money.
Only I seem to have nothing. Five dollars a day is already my limit. I shook my head, feeling somewhat upset. But I quickly recovered.
I've gone through this kind of pain many times and have gotten used to it.
After four consecutive classes in the morning, school was over. During this time, no one continued playing rock, paper, scissors. Those participating in the game left the school with trepidation.
At this time of the day, I usually go straight to the internet cafe. This time was no exception. Following Henry, I walked into the internet cafe. The cafe was already full of people. I took Henry and started two machines. We began playing CF.
While I was having fun playing with Henry, my phone suddenly rang. I quickly answered it and heard a sinister voice say, "Frank, hello."
"Ryan? What's up?" I said helplessly.
"Nothing much, just asking for a favor. You know my girlfriend only has one life left. If we don't find a way to win, she's doomed. So I hope you can intentionally lose to her." Ryan sneered.
"Are you out of your mind? Who would do that?" I sneered back. Ryan's idea was too simple. This was about my life, and mere threats wouldn't shake me.
"You're right, no one would do that. But don't forget, there are many things in this world that are more important than life." Ryan sneered.
"What do you mean?" I felt something ominous and asked.
"Nothing much, just listen to this voice." Ryan sneered.
Then Diana's voice with tears came through the phone, "Frank, please save me. They kidnapped me."
"Wait, I'll come to save you right away," I said urgently through the phone.
Then Diana's voice disappeared, and Ryan's hateful voice rang out from the phone again: "Frank, now only you can save Diana. We are now in Warehouse No, behind the school. If you don't come, the beautiful Diana can only be enjoyed by me. Remember, only you come alone and don't tell anyone else." After saying that, he gave a few evil laughs.
"Damn it." I got up from my seat, grinding my teeth.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Henry asked.
"Nothing," I shook my head with a sullen face, and my mind was thinking rapidly about what to do next. There is no doubt that Diana has been kidnapped by Ryan and Jasmine now.
Only I can save her, and there is no doubt that I have no other choice. As for whether to call the police or not, with Ryan's background, even if I call the police, it won't be of much use. Besides, we are all minors. Even if we break the law, nothing serious will happen.
"I have something to do and I have to go first," I sighed, then turned and walked out of the Internet cafe. Henry nodded, having a good time playing.
The entire school was empty because of the holiday. Many students had already left, and the entire school was deserted. It was already afternoon, and there was hardly anyone except the janitor.
The guard ignored my entry and I quickly reached the back of the school. Here was an abandoned warehouse. There were eight warehouses in total. Warehouse No. was where Diana was.
I hurriedly walked into Warehouse No.. When I pushed the door open, the entire warehouse was empty. Diana was pitifully tied to a chair, while Ryan was holding a baseball bat and chatting with Jasmine.
Seeing my arrival, Ryan couldn't help but say, "I thought you wouldn't come. After all, it concerns your life. I didn't expect you to still come. Do you like Diana that much?"
I remained silent. Diana on the chair obviously froze for a moment, and her pretty face turned red. But her mouth was taped and she couldn't speak at all. She could only keep making "uh-uh" sounds.
"Let her go!" I shouted at Ryan.
"Letting her go is of course no problem, but since it's a kidnapping, there has to be a ransom. You should know what the ransom is, right?" Ryan sneered.

I gritted my teeth as I looked at Ryan, wishing I could tear him to pieces. But Jasmine was right next to Diana, holding a small knife and gesturing at Diana's face. She said, "You'd better hand over the ransom quickly, or we'll kill her."
"Sure." I walked over helplessly and started to reach out my hand. "Let's play rock-paper-scissors. This time, I'll only play rock."
"I hope you don't go back on your word. Otherwise, even if I die, I'll drag Diana to hell." Jasmine sneered and then gave a wink. Ryan nodded and came to Diana's side, smirking as he waved the baseball bat. The bat was solid wood, extremely heavy. Once it hit someone's head, they would either die or become a vegetable.
"Okay," I said helplessly and then directly showed a fist. Jasmine directly showed paper, and then, she won directly. Originally, she only had one life, but now she has two. And I lost one life and now I also have two.
"Continue. I only need to win you one more time and I'll let her go." Jasmine smiled.
"Okay, I'll continue to play rock." I said as I reached out my hand.
Then Jasmine won again. This time, the smile on her face turned into wild laughter. "Hahaha, Frank, are you really crazy? For such a female classmate, you don't even care about your own life?"
"Shut up." I snorted coldly and then looked at Diana in the distance, "Can I take her away now?"
"No problem. You can leave." Ryan looked at me sarcastically and then waved his hand, "Go, our big Casanova."
"Let's go." I removed the tape from Diana's mouth and said calmly.
Tears kept streaming down Diana's face. Her eyes stared at me foolishly and said, "Why? Why did you agree to him? You only have one life left and you're going to die."
"Don't worry. I'm so smart. I'll be fine." I said to Diana. I still have one life. As long as I win twice in a row, I can survive.
Ryan pulled Jasmine, turned around, and was about to leave the warehouse. But he suddenly thought of something, took out a stack of money from his pocket, and put it in my pocket.
His face was mocking as he said, "Frank, just enjoy your last moments. This money is considered my compensation to you."
"Thank you very much then." I sneered.
Then Ryan left completely. Only I and Diana were left standing in the empty warehouse.
"Frank, you're so stupid. It's not worth it for me." Diana kept murmuring. She pulled my hand and said.
"Stop talking. I said I would save you." I patted her shoulder and said.
"Frank, look up at me." Diana suddenly said.
I listened to her and raised my head, but saw Diana's delicate face suddenly pounce into my arms, and then my lips were kissed by Diana. This was my first kiss.
I have never been so happy. Diana's face was very close. The sweet taste came towards me. Diana blushed and backed out of my arms. She looked somewhat at a loss.
She turned her head, vigorously grasping her own hands, and said in a low voice, "Don't think too much. This is a reward for you. Thank you for saving me just now."
"Well," I nodded happily. Looking at her blushing face, I subconsciously grabbed her little hand. Her hand was so soft and felt very comfortable in my hand.
And Diana didn't refuse. The two of us held hands like this and walked out of the warehouse. At this moment, the melancholy in my heart was swept away. Looking at Diana beside me, I felt like I was the happiest man in the world.
"You only have one life left. What are you going to do in the future?" Diana said with a worried expression.
"Don't worry. I'll figure out a way to win it back." I finished speaking and took out a stack of money from my pocket, smiling and said, "Now that we have money, how about going to watch a movie?"
"At a time like this, you still have the mood to watch a movie," Diana said angrily as she looked at me.
"Don't worry. I won't lose." I said confidently.
"Alright then." Diana hesitated as she held my hand.
Then we went to the cinema together. In the cinema, we ate popcorn while watching the movie. The movie playing in the cinema was exactly a romance film, Orange Blossom. I was quite uninterested in this kind of film. In contrast, I preferred sci-fi blockbusters. But Diana was excitedly watching the film and from time to time, she pulled my hand.
After the movie ended, I followed Diana back to her home. Her home was a luxurious two-story villa. This made me couldn't help but exclaim, "I never thought your family was so rich."
"It's so-so. It's just that my father does some business and never comes home. My mother plays mahjong every day." Diana said self-mockingly, and then asked me to sit on the sofa and also got me a cup of cola from the fridge.
I took the cola and started drinking it. At the same time, I looked at the decorations around me. The entire villa was definitely extremely luxurious. For someone like me, a loser, it was definitely beyond reach.
"Wait for a moment. I'm going to take a bath." Diana said to me with a smile. Then she went upstairs. Then, accompanied by the sound of water in the bathroom, it seemed that she had started taking a bath.
I shook my head and couldn't help but sigh about the life of the rich. In my family, we still live in an old residential building that's only fifty square meters. We don't even have a water heater. Every time I take a bath, I have to go to the public bathhouse.
