Chapter 225 - Using the Red String of Fate! (2/2)

“You seem really popular.” Zhang Ye said in a laughing voice that only the two of them could hear. There were only the two of them on this side of their work area, so as long as they spoke softly, no one else could hear them.

Dong Shanshan glanced, “Is that so?”

Zhang Ye shrugged, “At least more popular than me.”

“Hur Hur Hur.” Dong Shanshan was tickled, “Why did you curse at people when you just got the job? Composing poetry that scolds people and making trouble during a live broadcast. Everyone already knows that you are not easy to get along with, so who would bother to make conversation with you? At lunch just now, some of them asked me about you, do you know what’s their impression of you? They said that you are a ‘wonder’ of the industry!”

They are the wonders!

Your whole d.a.m.ned family are wonders!

Zhang Ye was speechless for a long while.

With a sudden thought, Dong Shanshan asked, “Oh right, did you find an apartment yet? If not, why don’t we go together tonight? I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely going to stay here for the long term.”

Zhang Ye replied, “I’ve already found one yesterday and moved in.”

“So fast? Where is it at?” Dong Shanshan asked curiously.

Zhang Ye laughingly answered, “It’s near the Bund. I forgot which road, but it’s a normal two bedroom apartment.”

Dong Shanshan said, “The rental over there is so expensive, looks like you’ve got quite some money. Oh right, the China Airlines reward was already a million. Alright, tomorrow or the day after, I must have a treat from you.”

“No problem.” Zhang Ye said without hesitating while waving his hands. But with this wave, he knocked a pen off from his desk. It landed right beside Dong Shanshan’s leg.

Dong Shanshan lowered her head to pick it up for him.

But Zhang Ye said, “Let me do it, you are wearing a skirt. It’s not convenient.”

Dong Shanshan did not insist. They were already cla.s.smates of four years. With the added incident on the plane and as old friends meeting again at work, their relations.h.i.+p had already become a lot closer.

Zhang Ye bent over his waist towards the school belle’s legs. With her legs that were covered by black silk stockings getting closer and closer to his face, it was getting too tempting. Zhang Ye’s mind suddenly thought of something. He remembered the items that he drew from the Consumption Category earlier – Red String of Fate. The instructions were rather clear, but he wouldn’t know what the effect really was if he did not use it.

Try?

He had to try!

Dong Shanshan did not pay attention to him as she was busy clearing the doc.u.ments on her desk.

Zhang Ye opened his game ring’s inventory and took out a Red String of Fate. As he was picking up the pen beside her leg, he took the Red String of Fate and rounded it around her ankle. Then, he pretended to not have picked up the pen the first time and with a quick flick of his finger, made the Red String of Fate into a knot. With a pull, the Red String of Fate was now tied to Dong Shanshan’s ankle.

Zhang Ye could feel and see the Red String of Fate.

However, Dong Shanshan could not see it nor feel it. She did look at him with her peripheral vision, maybe annoyed at why he was taking so long.

Zhang Ye had by now already picked up the pen and got back up.

Dong Shanshan returned her gaze back onto her computer, as she typed and did work.

Zhang Ye heaved a sigh of relief that he wasn’t discovered. He crossed his right leg up as he looked down at it and proceeded to tie the Red String of Fate around his own ankle too. The material of the Red String of Fate was very special as it could extend at will. When it was tied onto Dong Shanshan’s ankle, it did not have much length, but as he pulled it, he discovered that it could be extended indefinitely and that was how he managed to tie it to his own ankle. The moment it was tied, Zhang Ye felt a numbness in his ankle. It felt like pins and needles though it disappeared very quickly. He looked to his side and saw Dong Shanshan’s brows flinching and then curiously bending down to scratch her ankle.

“Red String of Fate is in effect!”

“Marriage Affinity is now linked!”

That’s it? What kind of effect will it have?

Zhang Ye had familiarized himself with his work and had nothing else to do, so he started waiting to see the effect.

Ten minutes pa.s.sed.

There was no changes of any sort.

Zhang Ye looked over to Dong Shanshan frequently but did not see how their Marriage Affinity had been linked.

At this moment, Dong Shanshan suddenly put down her mouse and stood up. She took her cellphone and a tissue pack with only two tissues in it, then walked out slowly. Judging by the direction, she was probably headed for the bathroom.

After a long while, Dong Shanshan still had not returned.

Zhang Ye looked at his watch hoping to leave work earlier. The Red String of Fate’s effect was likely to be slower, unlike the Cupid Sachet which was almost immediate. The effect experiment was probably not going to have any results today?

As he was thinking, his cellphone vibrated!

Zzi, zzi. It was a message from the school belle!

Dong Shanshan: Zhang Ye, are you busy?

Zhang Ye replied: No, what’s the matter?
