188 Game Master (1/2)

Seeing Ash approach climb the stairs with a determined expression, Wuxing heart almost froze. He thought she wouldn't actually do it but it seemed he misjudged her. He knew she was willing to sacrifice a lot for him but he didn't expect her to go this far.

Wuxing quickly chased after her, entering the platform but he was too late. When he was mid-way on the stairs, Ash was already whispering into Dongmei's ear, taking his spot on the bench.

To his surprise, Dongmei turned to her right after and smiled cheerfully, nodding at her.

Wuxing's mind officially exploded.

What did she agree to? Did Ash ask her directly? Did Dongmei watch them secretly and knew everything? Would Dongmei even agree to such deal?

Multiple questions troubled him but there was nothing else he could do other than facing his problems directly.

”Welcome back,” Dongmei called out to him first, showing a bright smile. ”Did you two have a nice chat?”

Just based on Dongmei's reaction Wuxing could confirm that she still didn't knew anything. She wouldn't be so calm in such complicated situation.

”We did…” Wuxing nodded, squeezing the hand she reached out to him. ”She knows everything now.”

”It's for the better. We don't need to hide it anymore,” Dongmei assured, rubbing his palm only to ask confused, ”Are you good? You don't look well.”

She stared at his face and noticed his worry that was hard for him to hide. After all, it involved their future.

Taking advantage of the situation, Anna stood up and grabbed onto his arm, asking concerned, ”Maybe you should sit down?”

It wasn't exactly a question as Anna then proceeded to pull him to sit down next to her on the other side of the table, giving him no chance to resist. She even poured him water into her cup and passed it to him. ”Drink, you should feel better.”

Wuxing didn't reject it and assured after taking a sip, ”I'm fine. It's just that revealing my secret was more stressful than I thought it would.”

He glanced at Ash and saw her already getting physical with Dongmei, sitting close to her while placing her hand on Dongmei's shoulder. It was obvious she wanted to become friends with Dongmei as she rarely touched other people.

The conclusion was clear.

Ash wasn't joking. She really wanted to do what she said and become his girlfriend while sharing him with Dongmei.

He didn't have time to think about it deeper when Ash disturbed his thoughts, winking at him as she explained, ”Don't worry, I won't talk about your secret in public so I asked Dongmei to meet in the evening for a small chat instead.”

Dongmei nodded and confirmed while looking at him, ”I don't mind. I also have some questions. I'm interested to know more about your past.”

”Can we come too? We can have a girls' night,” Anna proposed right after to which Dongmei immediately nodded before Ash even said anything, ”Sure, the more the merrier.”

Wuxing noticed the slight change in Ash expression as if she wasn't fond of that idea but she quickly masked it with a smile. Only he knew she wanted to have Dongmei for herself to talk about their dating. The other three girls tagging along would for sure stall Ash but for how long?

This wasn't an everyday situation. If he could choose, he would rather face an army of enemies by himself than to fight in the battles of love. On one hand, he wanted to be only for Dongmei, give her hundred percent of his love but on the other, he knew he will lose Ash once he rejects her which he didn't want.

It was like making him choose who would he prefer to kill, Dongmei or Ash. Obviously he would do anything to keep both of them alive.

Just as he rubbed his eyes, getting a headache from the whole situation, Katherine voiced out her suggestion, ”How about we invite Chameleon for the night? I'm sure he would love to come.”

Wuxing quickly countered, asking, ”Why you act like I wasn't invited from the start? There is no way I'm leaving Dongmei alone with you. I'm coming even if you don't want me. It is not even a question.”
