Chapter 408 (1/2)
My Lady has Arrived
Sun Xian was an unenterprising uncle. When he received Lady Zhao’s invitation, his first reaction was —— Were all the female high school students these days so open?
It quickly died off, when Sun Xian felt that he overthinking it. He knew himself well enough. He was not particularly good-looking. He had no strengths to speak of. He could never sweet-talk over the internet, let alone reality.
Even so, he was highly curious about this Lady Zhao. He had slowly learned more about this spectacular lady. She was widely-known on Qidian for her copious rewards. It was certainly his honor to be recognized by such a Godly tycoon. Now that this mysterious form of “inspiration” had found its way into his life, he no longer had to worry about update frequency …
For the first time in his life, he was writing ahead of schedule, piling up on scripts and drafts before meeting Zhao Youyue, so that he would be able to create a safe buffer. He would probably not let Lady Zhao down if he maintained his steady flow of updates.
He considered this female fan meeting to be strictly business, but it still called for some preparations. He had not purchased any new clothes since forever. Clothing was another bare necessity. He only required their warmth…
Despite that, he got himself a new set of clothes for this meeting. He hoped that it made him look younger.
He even took some time off for a haircut, as his hair was an unkempt, long mess. Most importantly, he had shaved his stubble off. It turned him a lot more energetic than ever.
Although Sun Xian remained as unremarkable as ever, this change had been for the better, if slight.
He had even searched the internet for information on “what to do when meeting an online friend for the first time.” At best, he found tips on how to bait an online friend onto bed, and how to explore a girl’s mind while seeking for the opportune moment to lay hands on her body. The search results were most embarrassing…
Was this how internet relationships worked nowadays? He could not remember the olden days being anything like this!
Sun Xian sighed. He was most certainly not going to follow the advice. He decided to go with the honest and sincere route.
Sun Xian was a mahjong-loving outcast, but he was not a perverted, nefarious man. Women would not stop him cold in his tracks. He has had been through a few girls, and he knew how to interact with the opposite sex. It so happened that he had grown accustomed to being single for a long time, and found it most comfortable.
However, Sun Xian’s concern over his appearance indicated his respect for Zhao Youyue. In the end, he had a decent level of courtesy.
Lady Zhao always possessed that mysterious power. Those who got in touch with her to unconsciously wanted to improve themselves. If they did not do so, one would be caught up in an inexplicable, eerie sense of shame when being in her presence.
In contrast to the work Sun Xian was putting into his appearance, Zhao Youyue had appeared to be relatively casual. Even so, Zhao Youyue’s ‘casual’ was akin to what others considered as a full suit of armor.
As long as it was not her school uniform, her clothes would all be branded and pricey. If one quantified luxury with words, her fashion would take up to 500 words. And that would be the writing of an efficient writer who never added meaningless fluff. All 500 words would fulfill a non-redundant purpose.
Zhao Youyue donned this Lady’s raiment like it was her second skin. This second skin would never be shed, unless she activates a certain character card. In that case, her fashion on that particular day might be affected by the fashion sense of that character.
