Sword Among Us

Chapter 570: c

Xu Xin and a few girls from her dorm walked on the main street of the university in the University of South China. Every single one of them held different ingredients to cook, and they followed behind Xu Xin while they chattered.

“Xin!”

“I already told you a few times to take us to your base to see Happy. A few months have passed since then, yet you still haven’t taken any action? Isn’t this too much?”

“That’s right! We’re all sisters, and we should share all good things together.”

Xu Xin said nothing.

“Let’s do it today! I want to take a picture with Happy and upload it to Weibo. Tsk tsk, the others will be so envious of me.”

“If I knew that Chen Kaixin was so powerful, I would have pushed him to you when he confessed to you, and things wouldn’t have progressed in this manner, where you feel pressured just by him looking at you.”

“That’s right. Right now, many of the foreign magazines are saying that he is one of the leaders of the player sects that are gaining the most profit in the game right now. His monthly salary is over one hundred million. He’s someone with a lot of money in his hands, so how didn’t we see it at the start?”

“Ah… don’t say it anymore. I’m filled with regret about this. Xin, you’ll have to work hard. I heard that quite a number of girls have already rented a room in this apartment complex in hopes that they can have a romantic endeavor with Happy that will last a long time. You can’t have the others come ahead of you. If it weren’t because we’re such good friends, we would have taken action a long time ago.”

Xu Xin still said nothing.

As she listened to her sisters nagging her, she blushed red, but she also felt vexed. She snorted and turned her face to the other side. They would not listen to her explanations anyway, since they were incredibly anxious for her.

When Xu Xin saw that they were about to walk out of the university, she took the ingredients from her friends’ hands. “This will be enough. Thanks for carrying it here. You should hurry back.”

“Xin, you’re being ungrateful now. We’ve escorted you this far, and our hands and waists are sore. Aren’t you going to ask us for a drink?”

“If you want to drink, go to those wolves and dogs and drink with them.”

Xu Xin turned around with a flick of her ponytail and walked through the university gates without hesitation. She left behind the girls who were mumbling something like “Hoes before sisters…”

Then, they laughed and left.

“Young Xin.”

Right when Xu Xin walked out of the university gate, she heard someone call out to her from behind.

When she turned her head around, she found herself facing the famous person from the disciplinary committee, Xu Yao.

Lately, Xu Yao was taking care of the major and minor matters in Mu Clan, and she had been perfect at her work. She was well-liked by many people, and Xu Xin, too, was not an exception.

“Yao Yao? Why are you here? There’s no class today?”

“Well… I have a major class, but I’m not free. I have something to do, which is why I didn’t go. There has been an increasing number of things I need to take care of, and I’d be troubling my sisters in the dorms for it, so I moved out. Where are you going?”

Xu Yao moved in front of Xu Xin and sized her up. The two great beauties instantly attracted countless people’s attention.

Xu Xin was still rather innocent, so she smiled shyly. “I brought some food for Happy.”

Right then, there were not many people who knew about her actions in the university.

The Great Beauty of the disciplinary committee had a faint look of shock on her face. “You two have already progressed to this stage?”

“Stop with the nonsense. He’s in our base, and once I send him food, I leave. Yao Yao, don’t let your imagination run wild.”

Xu Xin’s answer stunned Xu Yao. She sized up Xu Xin in disbelief before she teased her. “He still hasn’t taken any action even though you’re giving him such good food?”

“Yao Yao!” Xu Xin’s face turned incredibly red.

Xu Yao instantly knew that Xu Xin was telling her the truth when she saw her reaction, and she was slightly amazed. “That’s strange. Logically speaking, if he faces such a beautiful and charming beauty every day, he should have taken action a long time ago.”

“He’s not that type of person.”

When Xu Xin said that softly, she suddenly remembered the first time she saw Chen Kaixin. He had handed her his umbrella, and he had been as innocent as she was right now.

But lately, when she saw Happy, he seemed to have become mature and level-headed at some point in time. He could sense the warmth of a home from her actions, but he did not seem to be experiencing the complicated emotions he once had.

Xu Xin felt satisfied with what they shared right then, but she could not help but feel disappointed as well.

It was inevitable that her expression was caught by Xu Yao.

“Xin, you have to fight for what you should have. Your conditions aren’t bad right now. Up until now, South China Martial Arts Ranking Board has already had more than four million students register on it, and there are fifty million exclusive s on your website.

“Your potential for development is very great… and I heard that as of now, you’re the only shareholders of the website.”

After saying that, Xu Yao was slightly surprised as well. She did not understand why she would say something so out of topic.

But when she saw Xu Xin’s eyes light up slightly, she could not help feeling her heart sink slightly.

“Alright, I won’t bother you anymore. Go up.”

“Okay.” Xu Xin nodded and left.

Once she took a few steps, Xu Yao turned her head around and stared at Xu Xin’s back for a few seconds. A hint of incredibly complicated emotions showed up in her eyes, and she also looked as if she was lost.

“It’s time to eat.”

Xu Xin opened the door in the same way as before. She put the items inside, entered the kitchen, and prepared the food with light movements. Then, she washed her hands, mumbled under her breath, and tapped a message on her phone.

Soon after, she brought the dishes to the table, and the door to the room opened. Happy stretched while he walked out with the expression of a blessed man who was satisfied with his life. He smiled and asked, “Xin, what good stuff did you make today?”

“Go brush your teeth first.”

“I brushed them this morning.” Happy had an innocent expression on his face. “No one brushes their teeth so many times a day anyway.”

“It’s your fault for lying in bed all the time. Go, scoot!” Xu Xin placed her hands on her hips, which was something she rarely did. She used a tone that she believed was very fierce and glared at Happy sternly while she urged him to make a move.

Happy raised his hands high in the air in resignation and rushed into the bathroom. “Alright, alright. I’ll brush my teeth…”

Xu Xin’s gentle chuckles could be heard from the room.

“Wad habbened? Why are you zo habby?” Happy asked with his words all muffled up while he brushed his teeth.

“It’s nothing. Just brush your teeth,” Xu Xin said firmly.

“Aye, aye.”

Soon, Happy finished up and went to the dining room in a hurry. Xu Xin had long since sat down in front of very fragrant dishes to wait for him. There was still a hint of amusement and bashfulness that she had not managed to hide in her eyes.

Happy smiled and did not expose her. He sat down and said, “The operations of the South China Martial Arts Ranking Board have been pretty good lately.”

“Yes, when the registered members reached four million, I discussed things with the wolves, and we did a promotion. The official developers also supported us. They gave us a special channel to do our promotion.

“Soon after, many companies wanted to have their s set up on our website. Their prices ranged from low to high.”

When they talked about serious matters, Xu Xin seemed to be affected by Happy. She entered an extraordinary state and answered in an incredibly familiar and smooth manner.

Happy thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, “It’s a university website, so it’d be best if we could avoid some of the strange s. It’s just a reminder.”

“That’s what we’re thinking about as well. Besides, we’re considering only taking in s for health products, sports brands, makeup products, and we will only choose one brand when it comes to the same type of products.”

Xu Xin stopped talking for a moment while looking incredibly excited. “Once the news was released, many major brands took the initiative to contact us. They wish to sign a contract with us, and the prices have been increasing by leaps and bounds.

“The yearly fee is already close to fifty million, but there are people who wish that you could be the spokesperson for their product. If you do, they would increase the price by another two hundred million.”

“Urk.” Happy choked.
