Rejected by the Campus Belle, I Find My True Love-Chapter 180 - 179: The Elementary School Machines Argue
He knew what kind of person his girl was. If they didn’t even have that much trust, how could they spend the rest of their long lives together?
Since he has found out what he wanted to know, hmm, it’s time to collect some interest...
"Xue Yang, haven’t I already confessed everything to you?"
"Mhm, this is interest," he said.
"..."
Can he really do that? Lin Xi simply didn’t understand that, at times like this, words were useless.
Half an hour later, Lin Xi was still giving a certain guy a resentful look. He was happy, but she was suffering. It felt just like when she first started developing—sore and painful. They were definitely bruised.
"Do you want me to rub it for you again?" As he spoke, a certain someone’s devilish claws were about to reach over again.
Lin Xi covered herself and kept backing away. "No need."
Xue Yang raised his eyebrows slightly. Hmm, the little Xiao Naimao has gotten smarter. She’s not falling for it this time. But it doesn’t matter. I’ll always find a way to make her submit. Hmm, that felt pretty good.
Lin Xi’s recording was every bit as effective as Xue Yang’s. However, he didn’t upload it today, deciding instead to release one short video each day.
The next morning, while changing into her school uniform, Lin Xi indeed saw the bruises. "It’s all your fault, Xue Yang."
"What’s wrong?"
"See for yourself." Lin Xi stretched her neck out to show him his handiwork.
Hmm, lots of hickeys. Xue Yang was very satisfied. He picked up a scarf and wrapped it around Lin Xi’s neck. "There, isn’t that better?"
"No fair! 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 marks that were just as numerous as the ones he had left on her. The two of them were evenly matched.
Lin Xi’s pretty face flushed red. She had no recollection of being so fierce.
At 7:30 a.m., they headed out. During class, Si Wen suddenly caught a glimpse of what seemed like a bruise on Lin Xi’s neck. Thinking her eyes were playing tricks on her, she reached out and tugged at her collar and scarf. The tug was all it took. She could now clearly see that Lin Xi’s neck was covered in them. More importantly, it wasn’t just her neck; the bruises seemed to get denser the further down they went.
"Lin Xi, what happened to your neck?"
Lin Xi’s face turned red as she quickly pulled the scarf back into place. "Huh? What do you mean?"
"Did that boy bully you?" During this time, Lin Xi had been living with Xue Yang; it couldn’t have been anyone else. "That bastard! So he gets what he wants and then stops cherishing you? Men really are pigs! Don’t be afraid, I’ll go confront him."
Lin Xi’s face was crimson as she hastily grabbed Si Wen. "Si Wen, he didn’t bully me."
"He didn’t? Then what happened to your neck? Don’t be scared, I’ll get justice for you."
Lin Xi glanced at the other students, who were all straining to listen in. She pulled Si Wen down forcefully and whispered a few words in her ear.
Si Wen finally quieted down. Sitting beside Lin Xi, her own face turned a little red. "Are all young people so wild these days?"
"..."
"Lin Xi, tell me... what did it feel like?"
"Um... it was very painful."
"What?" Si Wen was shocked. "Really?"
"Yeah, like the pain you get when you’re first developing. You know?"
Si Wen instinctively touched her own chest and felt a pang of fear. It’s a good thing I don’t have a boyfriend, otherwise... She glanced down at her front. If it hurt for someone like Lin Xi, who was well-endowed, then for her, who wasn’t...
"Although it was painful, um... how should I put it?"
"What is it? Spit it out!"
"Well... you’ll know when you try it."
"..."
It was as if she had said something and nothing at all. There’s no way I’m trying that. Puberty was painful enough!
Cui Hao moved quickly. The same day he decided to change offices, he found a new, suitable location. In his words, "This is the advantage of being in the game for a while. I know every fly that buzzes around this neighborhood."
Xue Yang and Yu Kexin exchanged a smile. This kid isn’t old, but he acts like a seasoned veteran. There was no denying it had its benefits.
Yu Kexin had already contacted several classmates who would be ready to join them right after the New Year. A few who were local to Yancheng had already started working. Their shoddy three-person office was finally starting to look like a proper company.
Because of the year-end holidays, students were on break, and many adults were also beginning their vacations. With Si Wen and her friends helping promote the game, King’s Game’s download count hit new highs every day.
Yu Kexin, for her part, began working on new heroes. "You guys talk, I have to get back to work."
She had looked visibly exhausted lately. Though only eighteen or nineteen, she looked like she was in her twenties. But despite the fatigue, the overwhelming popularity of King’s Game filled her with limitless motivation.
Cui Hao continued his discussions with the influencers about game promotion. Xue Yang also handed over the management of the official King Weibo account to him.
"Leave it to me, don’t worry. I guarantee I’ll make our official account the most popular one out there."
Watching Cui Hao handle the operations with such confidence made Xue Yang think of his own Weibo account, which only had one or two followers. He had checked that morning, and the number hadn’t budged. It seems I’m not cut out for this kind of thing.
"Why the long face?" Cui Hao asked, leaning in.
"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 closer, and then his eyes caught 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 appeared before his eyes.
Cui Hao felt the world go dark. "FUCK! My eyes! My titanium alloy dog eyes!"
"..."
"You guys have already gone that far? Isn’t she still taking her college entrance exams next year?" If she’s taking them next year, that means she’s still a minor! Wow, Xue Yang actually... What a beast. A total beast.
Xue Yang calmly pulled his collar back up. "Who said we went all the way?"
"Then where did the hickeys come from?"
Xue Yang was silent for a moment before retorting, "Do you have to go all the way to get hickeys?"
"..."
Fuck! This conversation is impossible! Do you have to go all the way to get hickeys? How the fuck should I know!?!
"Just handle your own Weibo. I’m done with you," Cui Hao said, storming off indignantly like a first-grader in a fight. "And you can’t copy my notes next time!"
Watching Cui Hao’s retreating back, Xue Yang averted his gaze and calmly fastened his top button, leaving no gap. I buttoned it up properly before I left the house. How did he still see it?
