Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 179 - 178: Where Did Strawberries Come From?
He knew what kind of person his girl was. If they couldn’t even have this much trust, how were they supposed to make it through the long future ahead of them?
Since he now knew everything he wanted to know... well, it was time to collect his interest.
"Xue Yang, haven’t I been honest with you?"
"Yes, and this is the interest!"
"..."
Could it really be like this?
Lin Xi truly didn’t understand that sometimes, words were pointless.
「Half an hour later.」
Lin Xi watched a certain someone with a resentful glare.
He was happy, but she was the one suffering. It felt just like when she first started developing—sore and painful. They’re definitely bruised.
"Do you want me to massage them for you again?" As he spoke, his wicked hands began to snake toward her again.
Lin Xi covered herself and quickly backed away. "No, thank you!"
Xue Yang raised an eyebrow. Hmm, the little Xiao Naimao has gotten smarter. She’s not falling for it this time. But that’s fine. He always had his ways of making the little Xiao Naimao submit. Hmm, it felt pretty good.
Lin Xi’s recording was every bit as good as Xue Yang’s. However, he didn’t upload it that day, deciding instead to save it and post one short video per day.
...
The next morning, while changing into her school uniform, Lin Xi indeed saw the bruises.
"Xue Yang, this is all your fault."
"What happened?"
"Look for yourself." Lin Xi stretched out her neck, showing him his handiwork.
Hmm, so many hickeys. He was very satisfied.
He picked up a nearby scarf and wrapped it around her neck. "There, that’s better, isn’t it?"
"No! I want to leave a mark on your neck too."
"Are you sure you haven’t already?"
Xue Yang pulled his collar down slightly, revealing just as many marks as he’d left on her. The two were evenly matched.
Lin Xi’s pretty face flushed red. She had no memory of being so fierce.
During class, Si Wen suddenly noticed what looked like a dark mark on Lin Xi’s neck. Thinking her eyes were playing tricks on her, she reached out and tugged at Lin Xi’s collar and scarf.
The single tug revealed that Lin Xi’s neck was indeed covered in dark bruises. More importantly, it wasn’t just her neck; there seemed to be even more of them further down.
"Lin Xi, what happened to your neck?"
Lin Xi’s face burned as she quickly pulled the scarf back into place. "Huh? What do you mean?"
"Did that guy bully you?" Lin Xi had been living with Xue Yang recently. It couldn’t have been anyone else. "That bastard! So he finally gets you and now he doesn’t cherish you? Men are such pigs. Don’t worry, I’ll go find him."
Blushing, Lin Xi quickly grabbed Si Wen’s arm. "Si Wen, he didn’t bully me."
"If he didn’t bully you, then what happened to your neck? Don’t be afraid. I’ll make sure you get justice."
Lin Xi glanced around at their classmates, who had all perked up their ears to listen in. She forcefully pulled Si Wen down and whispered something in her ear.
Si Wen finally fell silent. She sat back down next to Lin Xi, her own face flushing slightly. "Are kids these days all playing this rough?"
"..."
"Lin Xi, tell me, what does it feel like?"
"Um... it’s really painful."
"What?" Si Wen was surprised. "Really?"
"Yeah, just like that feeling when you first start developing, you know?"
Si Wen instinctively touched her own chest, a little frightened. "It’s a good thing I don’t have a boyfriend, otherwise..." She glanced down at her own chest. If it’s that painful for someone as well-endowed as Lin Xi, then for me...
"Although it’s painful, but... how do I say it?"
"What is it? Hurry up and tell me!"
"Um... well, you’ll know if you ever try it."
"..."
It was like she said something, yet said nothing at all.
She definitely didn’t want to experience that. Puberty was so painful.
...
Cui Hao was quick to act. The day he decided to change offices, he immediately found another suitable location.
In his words, "This is the benefit of knowing the scene. I even know the flies that buzz around this part of town."
Xue Yang and Yu Kexin exchanged a smile. This guy was young, but he acted like a seasoned veteran of the world. But it was undeniably useful.
Yu Kexin had already contacted several classmates who could start working right after the New Year. A few of the locals in Yancheng had already begun.
The once-shabby office, which had only housed the three of them, was finally starting to look like a proper company.
Because it was the end of the year, students were on vacation, and many working adults were also starting to take their holidays. With Si Wen and her friends helping with promotion, the download numbers for King’s Game were setting new records every day.
On her end, Yu Kexin started working on new heroes for the game.
"You guys chat, I’m going to get back to work," she said.
She was visibly exhausted during this time, looking more like someone in her twenties than a girl of eighteen or nineteen. However, despite the exhaustion, the thought of how popular King’s Game was gave her endless motivation.
Cui Hao continued discussing game promotion with the bloggers. Xue Yang also entrusted him with managing the official Weibo account for King’s Game.
"Leave this to me, don’t you worry. I guarantee I’ll turn our official account into the most popular one out there."
Watching Cui Hao’s supreme confidence in his operational skills, Xue Yang thought of his own Weibo account with its one or two followers. He had checked it this morning, and the number hadn’t gone up. Apparently, he wasn’t cut out for this sort of thing.
"Why the long face?" Cui Hao leaned over and asked.
"I started an author account on Weibo, but it doesn’t seem to be doing very well."
"Let me see how you set it up." Cui Hao leaned in closer, but his gaze suddenly caught on something. "Wait a minute, what’s that on your neck?"
As he spoke, Cui Hao tugged at Xue Yang’s collar, and several conspicuous hickeys came into view.
Cui Hao felt his vision go dark. "Holy shit! My titanium alloy dog eyes!"
"..."
"You’ve already gotten to that stage? Isn’t she taking her college entrance exams next year?"
Taking the exams next year meant she was still a minor! Wow, Xue Yang actually... What a beast. An absolute beast.
Xue Yang calmly pulled his collar straight. "Who said we went all the way?"
"Then where did those hickeys come from?"
Xue Yang was silent for a moment before retorting, "Do you have to go all the way to get hickeys?"
"..."
Shit! There was no way to continue this conversation. Do you have to go all the way to get hickeys? How the hell am I supposed to know?!?
"Fine, handle your own Weibo! I’m done with you!" Cui Hao declared and stormed off, looking for all the world like an elementary schooler in a tiff, yelling, "You’re not allowed to copy my notes next time!"
Watching Cui Hao’s retreating back, Xue Yang looked away and calmly buttoned his shirt all the way to the top, leaving not a single gap.
He was sure he’d buttoned it all the way up before leaving home, so how was he discovered?
