Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 175 - 174: Game Launch

As Lin Xi exited the school gates, she spotted a tall figure from afar, standing in the snow and leaning against a white Audi. She immediately dashed toward him. "Xue Yang!"

Just like the countless times she had waited for Xue Yang to come home, she leaped onto him, rubbing against his neck like a little kitten. "I thought you weren’t coming."

Xue Yang supported her bouncy behind with his hands, holding her as if no one else was there. "I promised I would come, so I definitely would."

Although they were right outside the school, no one dared to say anything. After all, she was the heiress of the Lin Corporation. Still, no one had ever heard of Lin Xi having a boyfriend. Did Chairman Lin know about their relationship? Then again, such a handsome man being the boyfriend of the Lin Corporation heiress seemed to make perfect sense. It was as if anyone other than Lin Xi would be an unsuitable match for him.

"Is that person... really Xiao Xi?"

From a distance, inside a black stretch Bentley, a middle-aged man watched the two embracing at the school entrance, deep in thought. He happened to be passing by the school today and decided to check in on his daughter. But the moment he arrived, he saw her, with complete disregard for her image, dashing toward a boy. She was far more excited than she ever was to see him, her own father.

"Chairman, should I go over..."

Lin Zhenhai raised a hand to stop him. "No need. Keep an eye on the major news outlets and make sure they don’t write anything reckless. We’ll make an official announcement if there’s anything to report."

"Yes, Chairman!"

"I hear Xue Yang is currently in negotiations with the League of Legends officials over the rights?"

"Yes, Chairman."

"Call Lao Meng tomorrow."

"Yes, Chairman."

"Let’s go back."

The stretch Bentley slowly merged into the flow of traffic and soon disappeared from sight.

Xue Yang helped Lin Xi into the passenger seat and carefully buckled her seatbelt. "I got you some takeout seafood. We can eat at home."

The moment Lin Xi got into the car, she smelled the rich aroma of seafood. She hadn’t eaten enough at school and was already hungry; the smell made her even more so.

"Okay."

The drive from the school to their rented apartment took only half an hour.

Once they were home, Xue Yang brought out the food—a large seafood platter. The restaurant had kept it in an insulated container, so it was still hot.

"It smells so good." Lin Xi’s appetite was whetted.

"Eat while it’s hot. This meal is on Cui Hao," Xue Yang said.

"I keep hearing you talk about Cui Hao. Should I meet him?"

"He actually said today that he wants to meet you."

"Then should we set up a time to meet him?"

"There’s no need. That kid is all talk. If he actually met you, he’d probably be bummed out for a long time."

"Oh, really?"

If Cui Hao were to meet Lin Xi, he probably wouldn’t have a very happy New Year. With this in mind, Xue Yang decided to let him have a pleasant holiday. Yes, I’m such a good person.

The next day, Jiang Wei brought Xue Yang some good news. The League of Legends officials had agreed to partner with TianMei Studio to launch the Honor of Kings mobile game. The condition was that TianMei Studio would provide unconditional technical services for the mobile game.

When Xue Yang heard this, he was stunned. This was fantastic news for them. However, while it seemed like a win-win situation, League of Legends was actually the one taking a loss. Xue Yang couldn’t understand why they would agree to such a disadvantage. Was it simply because I acted chivalrously to help Jiang Wei?

On January 26th, Honor of Kings officially launched in various mobile app stores.

Cui Hao sent a message to Chen Ying, who had already gone home for the break.

Back home, Chen Ying had shed her school-goddess image. In her mother’s words, she was unkempt, looked nothing like a student, and spent her days either lying around or sleeping.

Initially, Chen Ying would argue with her mother, "Mom, you weren’t like this when I first came home for the break."

Mom Chen would shoot her a look. "You weren’t like this when you first came home, either."

It seemed even the campus belle had to deal with a nagging mother at home.

Chen Ying received Cui Hao’s message and suddenly remembered her promise to help promote the game on Weibo. She crawled out of bed, put on some beautiful makeup, and changed into a uniform-like outfit with a black skirt that made her look both sexy and charming.

When Mom Chen came in to mop the floor, she almost thought she had entered the wrong room.

"What’s gotten into you?"

"Mom, could you please knock before you come in next time?"

"I gave birth to you, what’s wrong with me coming into your room?"

"I’m all grown up now."

"Even when you’re eighty, I’ll still be your mom."

Speechless, Chen Ying couldn’t be bothered to argue with her mother anymore. But Mom Chen wasn’t about to let her off the hook.

"You should read a book when you have nothing to do."

"Mom, I’m about to graduate from college. What is there to read?"

"Oh," Mom Chen said, then left the room without another word.

My daughter is almost graduating from college! How time flies. After a moment’s thought, she poked her head back in and added, "Then go out and date someone when you’re free instead of just moping around at home all day."

"Mom, you were the one who never let me date when I was in school, saying it would affect my studies! Where am I supposed to find a boyfriend all of a sudden?"

"If you can’t find one, I’ll introduce someone to you."

"..."

The only response was the sound of the door closing. After shutting the door, Chen Ying locked it for good measure. She then took a few photos showing only her figure and shapely legs, uploaded them to Weibo, then logged into Honor of Kings, took a few screenshots of the game, and posted those as well.
