Chapter 120: Flower Room (2/2)

“It is a compliment, trust me, hehe~”

“...”

I changed the topic and asked, “Should this Flower Room worry you, Yiyi?”

Lin Yixin shook her head immediately. “Of course not. Sure he has a Hero’s Token, but he’s an empty shell with no real support beneath him. Frankly, I’m more worried about Gods of Destruction and Mad Dragon. These guilds have both wealth and power. They’re the real enemies we’ll eventually have to face in the future.”

I nodded. “Bloody Mercenaries will establish their guild in a month at most!”

“Mn!”

Sun Qingqing smiled yearningly. “So, Snowy Cathaya and Bloody Mercenaries will be working together to fight against Gods of Destruction and Mad Dragon, huh?”

“That is the case. Hmph, that reminds me of Mad Dragon trying to snatch our mine shaft away from us. Once the guild recovers in two days’ time, I’m going to show them that I’m not to be trifled with!” Lin Yixin clenched her fists together and declared menacingly. She was completely serious.

I couldn’t help but laugh. The three male guests sitting at the table next to us looked like three drakes in heat as they shot admiring looks at Lin Yixin while trying to suppress their laughter at her cutesy antics.

“Laugh some more, and I’ll throw you out of the window.” Lin Yixin tried to glare at me, but she couldn’t hold herself back from smiling a little.

“...”

We chatted as we ate, and it was past 8 pm that our dinner finally came to an end.

Lin Yixin footed the bill before following Sun Qingqing to the roadside. They looked damn good in their skirts, I had to admit.

Sun Qingqing turned around to look at me. “Aren’t you going to send us back to the campus, handsome? There are a lot of bad guys on the streets, you know…”

I looked around and spotted a grandma who was selling sweet potatoes, a grandpa who was selling roasted chestnuts, and a couple of kindergarteners riding on tricycles. She was right, this road was full of dangers, so I nodded. “I shall obey the ladies’ request. This is a good opportunity to check out which dorms you are living at too!”

“Oh?” Lin Yixin stared at me warily. “What do you need that information for?”

I spread my arms innocently. “What else? To avoid getting lost when I come looking for you in the future!”

“Hmph hmph!”

Lin Yixin stopped talking after that. After buying CoCo milk tea for themselves, the girls slowly made their way back to the university. I bought a can of Tsingtao for myself and followed behind them like a shadow.

When we reached the campus entrance, I immediately straightened my collar and tidied my hair.

“What are you doing?” Lin Yixin cocked her head in puzzlement.

I explained, “I’m trying to make myself look more like a student. Randoms like me aren’t normally allowed into the campus.”

Lin Yixin burst into laughter. “How old do you think you are? Come on, no one’s going to stop you. The campus guards are infamous for their laxness.”

“Oh…”

Lin Yixin and Sun Qingqing walked side by side after we entered the campus. For some reason, I felt a little happy as I stepped on the campus lawn.

Suddenly, we heard two honks from the roadside. A black convertible drove up to Lin Yixin and Sun Qingqing, and the driver was none other than the man we were badmouthing a moment ago, Li Le! It was practically impossible not to recognize his good looks, his frivolous behavior, his shallow attitude, and his punchable smile!

“What a coincidence, Lin Yixin!”

Li Le greeted her with a wide smile on his face.

Lin Yixin frowned, strode to the garden path and pulled me out from behind a flowerbed. She then clung to my arm and said with a smile, “Where were you, sweetheart? Did you enjoy a good time while I was gone?”

I shuddered at her fake words before whispering, “The hell? Don’t you think that was way too corny?”

Lin Yixin retorted with a smile, “Of course I do, can’t you feel the goosebumps on my arms?”

It was pretty dark outside right now, but I could see the rosiness on Lin Yixin’s cheeks as clear as day.

I declared, “I don’t mind being your meatshield, but it’s gonna cost you!”

“1 gold per hour. Old customer, old prices!”

“I think I’m worth more than that.”

“I can find someone else to replace you if you’re unwilling…”

“What was I saying earlier? Of course I’ll escort you, my lady.”

……

Li Le glared at me from inside his black convertible, but he managed to retain a semblance of grace and smiled at Lin Yixin. “Beauty Lin, I almost forgot to tell you that I built a guild called ‘Flower Room’ just an hour ago. Now, we’re both the signboards of our university. Would you like to ally with my guild when you log into the game?”

Lin Yixin replied off-handedly, “You almost forgot? Are you sure you didn’t purposely drive all the way over to tell me this?”

Li Le nearly choked on his own spit when he heard Lin Yixin’s retort. With an awkward expression, he said, “I uh, I’m just here to tell you that, that’s all. I wish for peace between Snowy Cathaya and Flower Room. If Snowy Cathaya needs anything in the future, just tell us and we’ll do our best to support you!”

Lin Yixin snorted softly, but didn’t give him an answer.

I laughed quietly at her and said, “The implied message here is that the beautiful leader of Snowy Cathaya, namely you, must agree to become his girlfriend if Snowy Cathaya were to garner any support from Flower Room. Did I get it right?”

Lin Yixin scolded me. “Go to hell. It’s impolite to expose the other person’s intentions right in front of their faces, you know!”

“...”

We finally arrived at the female dorms, giving Li Le no more opportunity to stick to us like a gum beneath our shoes. My mission passed with flying colors, I checked the time before shouting, “7 minutes, Yiyi. Don’t forget to send me 7 gold after you go online, got it? See ya~”
