Chapter 447: You’re Famous (1/2)
”Yiyi, are we boyfriend and girlfriend now? We did that, didn’t we?” I asked awkwardly.
Lin Yixin turned beet red in an instant. She glared at me and retorted, ”Did what, exactly? Hmph! You want me to be your girlfriend? Who… who do you think you are?”
”Fuck! You can’t just pretend it never happened!”
”I do what I want!”
……
Lin Yixin took a sip of before glaring at me again. ”By the way, if you tell anyone about that I’ll kill you!”
I shivered. ”Got… got it…”
Fuck, I thought our relationship would progress to the next step naturally after the kiss, but she just pretended it never happened! For a moment, I felt incredibly sorry for myself.
When we finished our noodles and stepped out of the restaurant, it was already 10 pm at night. It had also stopped raining. When I walked past Chuanxiangge, I abruptly saw Zi Chuanyu standing at the hall and talking with the manager frantically about something. Did he really not have the money to foot the bill? Poor kid...
I pulled out a couple of red bills from my pocket and walked inside, saying, ”I’ll pay for him.”
Zi Chuanyu looked at me like I was his savior. ”You finally came back, Lu Chen! Thank goodness, I would’ve had to wash half a year of dishes if you didn’t show up… Eh? Guild leader, why is your face so red? Are you warm? But it’s late autumn already…”
Lin Yixin curled her lips and shook her head in a helpless manner. She complained in a small voice, ”Is this really wretched-looking man really an irreplaceable general of my Snowy Cathaya? Sigh…”
”Yes. Just accept your fate already,” I replied after paying.
……
Back in the car, I drove Lin Yixin back to the university. I shot her a glance and asked, ”Yiyi, why haven’t you gotten yourself a mount yet? It’s been a while since the mount system has been introduced, isn’t it?”
Lin Yixin shot me a glance before replying reluctantly, ”You think I don’t want to? I found a Rare Forest Wolf the other day, but I failed to tame it despite using up all ten chances. Since then, I’ve never found a Rare mount again…”
”Hehe…”
”What are you laughing at?”
”Nothing. Just adding a modal particle to the end of your sentence…”
”Oh right, you territory is now undergoing maintenance, right?” Lin Yixin said in an envious tone. ”It’s the very first undead city in Sky City, and you’re the perfect candidate to manage it.”
”Mn. As you said, I am the best candidate to manage an undead city, so I’ve already asked your sister He Yi to transfer ownership to me. I can’t wait to see how it’ll develop in the future…”
Lin Yixin whimpered. ”Ooh, I wonder when the second territory will spawn…”
I patted my chest confidently. ”Don’t worry, Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls promises to do everything in their power to seize the territory and surrender it to Snowy Cathaya!”
”Of course not, that would be too shameless even for me…”
”Hmph! Who knows. Your shamelessness knows no bounds…”
……
I took a moment to stare at the guard when I drove through the university gate. ”WTF. Forget stopping me, he didn’t even inquire about my identity. Does he think that all BMW drivers are good people or something?”
Zi Chuanyu replied from the back seat, ”Eh, it’s just common sense, you know? Who would dare stop a BMW X series driver and risk offending a young master or something? This may very well be their only source of income, so it makes sense that they would do everything in their power to keep it!”
I frowned. ”But it’s his responsibility to perform his duty properly. He should stop all strangers who enter the university and question them properly even if they are driving an F-22. It’s terrible for a person to lack principles, be it in social or work situations.”
Lin Yixin shot me an approving smile. ”That’s right. This is the Lu Chen I know.”
Zi Chuanyu: ”Guild leader, your lovesickness is taking over again…”
”Do you want to die?”
”Oh look, we’re at my dorms byeeee!!!”
Zi Chuanyu escaped the car on all fours as if he was afraid that Lin Yixin would annihilate him out of annoyance.
Watching Zi Chuanyu running to the male dorms like his life depended on it, I couldn’t help but comment, ”Yiyi, you should treat your subordinates better to ensure their loyalty…”
”I can’t…” Lin Yixin replied in a quiet voice.
”But why?”
”Why do you think?” She countered before turning beet red again. ”If I treat them well, they might misunderstand my good intentions as affection. I can’t let that kind of misunderstanding happen can I?”
I understood her immediately. ”In that case, can you at least treat me gentler…?”
”I’ll try my best.” Lin Yixin nodded her head and answered me very seriously.
We arrived at the female dorms, and I turned off the air conditioner. I glanced at Lin Yixin’s rather thin clothing and said, ”You were drenched just now, so get a warm bath as soon as you can and wear something dry and warm, okay?”
”Got it. You should rest soon too. I’ll come visit the territory after it opens~”
”Okay. Good night!”
”Don’t say that!”
”Huh? Why?”
