Chapter 177

He would have been fine if he didn’t mention it. But with that sentence, Si YuFan was reminded of how XunMi had once been together with that scum man. Immediately, he became a jar of vinegar. She actually liked someone besides him?

“Don’t eat vinegar so randomly. I barely ever even held hands with Yi Ling before. And those few times that we did hold hands, it was because he grabbed my hand when I wasn’t looking. I always moved my hand away afterwards. You know I lived on CJ-31 for so many years. Everyone around me had been sent over by my grandfather. They all treated me with utmost courtesy and didn’t dare break into informal language. It was fine for a while, but it got tiring. Coincidentally, Yi Ling appeared and helped me pass the time. So I allowed him to appear by my side. And then he started announcing everywhere that I was his girlfriend. I didn’t really explain the truth either. After all, he was just a little matter to me. Seeing him bounce around was also kind of entertaining. But I guess because he was a bit panicked when he realized that my attitude towards him never changed. Therefore, he mentioned that he wanted to come to Capital Star. So I gave him some money and a few bodyguards. I said it was to protect him but the truth was I wanted to know what how long he could actually stick it out in the capital. I just never imagined that he would dare to kill off those men. It was because of that that I came to Capital Star. When I saw him together with another woman, I couldn’t resist. I wanted to scare them a little but in the end I was the one who fell into the trap.” XunMi spoke nonchalantly but her eyes were serious. She wasn’t the original soul.

Naturally, she was able to step back and see the entire story clearly. But there was one thing that she chose to hide. The original soul did indeed like or even love this scum man. After all, he came after ten years of solitude. Meeting a boy full of sunshine in that environment made it easy for her to fall in love. But XunMi definitely wasn’t going to tell her dear husband that. If he eats vinegar again, the only one being punished was her.

Si YuFan’s expression didn’t get much better after listening to her explanation, but the dark gaze in his eyes changed. Now they were filled with pain and worry for XunMi.

XunMi couldn’t resist but lean forward and kiss his sorrowful eyes. Maybe they were far too familiar with each other so that they were able to understand what each other wanted to say from just a simple glance or gesture.

“I’m just saying. We’re still here. Can you stop torturing us.” QuietlyHumming complained lightly.

XunMi smiled brightly, “You’ll understand when you guys find your other halves too.” You want to put the best side of yourselves forward and completely obliterate any obstacles or dangers in your way.

QuietlyHumming twitched his lips. It wasn’t like he didn’t want to find his other half, it was that he couldn’t find his other half. This wasn’t like cabbage, he couldn’t just randomly choose one and bring it home.

“Fate is a strange thing. Perhaps somewhere someone perfect for you has already appeared. It could be that you just haven’t noticed yet. You have to know how to be aware of all the signs.” XunMi spoke. She was speaking as someone with knowledge of the plotline. The original plot naturally included some information about the people around the male lead, including their future conclusions.  But she didn’t plan on revealing too much. Some things needed to be experienced themselves, just like QuietlyHumming with the process of love.

ThousandWaitingFlames looked at XunMi, pondering. She seemed to know something.

XunMi looked back at him with an innocent smile.

“That’s right, that’s right. Sister-in-law, I keep wanting to ask you. Where did you get that golden outfit from “Chaos”? What mission was that?” StartlingLeaves jumped up. He had wanted to ask while they were still in the game but he had forgotten.

Si YuFan was still busy in bliss from XunMi’s sudden kiss when he was startled back to reality by StartlingLeaves’ sudden loud yelp. He looked unhappily over in his direction, “That’s a limited edition. Even if you knew where to get it, you won’t be able to defeat the mission.” That’s what you get for breaking into my good mood.

XunMi nodded her head, “That’s something my character just comes with.” After waking up, when she found out that ‘Chaos’ was created by her grandfather’s students to help save her, she really could feel the original soul’s sorrow and regret. If XunMi hadn’t used some of her own spiritual energy to soothe her, the original soul might have collapsed entirely.

“How can that just be a part of your character? Chaos’ storybooks are all hard missions. Not to mention those that have just entered the game. There isn’t even a new player package.” StartlingLeaves said, looking at XunMi as if to say ‘don’t lie to me, I’m not that stupid’.

But was she supposed to tell them that she was a bug within the system so had more power? Or perhaps that she had two identities so the golden outfit truly did come with one of her characters. “How about this, I’ll take you to try tonight. Let’s see if we can get another one of the costumes on the system ranking board.” XunMi thought for a moment. That men’s magic robe was also pretty powerful. But it was just a bit off by XunMi’s standards, or else she would have given it to her own husband. She prepared to buy the men’s golden feathered armor costume from her own space market.  She thought her husband would like it, since it had a powerful and domineering aura.

“Really!” StartlingLeaves excitedly grabbed XunMi’s hands.

Slap! Si YuFan harshly slapped StartlingLeaves’ hands away. “Don’t get touchy. Speak nicely.” He dared to take advantage of XunMi? Humph, he deserved a beating.

QuietlyHumming and the others watched with their expressions in the shape of the character 囧.  The dog food was too strong. StartlingLeaves angrily rubbed his red hand but was too scared to speak out. He really had just been overcome with excitement. So please stop glaring at him as if he was out to steal her away. He really wouldn’t even dare entertain such a thought.

Si YuFan pettily wiped off the area on XunMi’s hand that StartlingLeaves had grabbed with a hankerchief. Then he covered her hand with his.

StartlingLeaves: ….Why was he being treated like bacteria!!! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

QuietlyHumming had already become numb to their PDA. He watched Si YuFan’s actions and silently laughed sarcastically to himself. End of friendship, end of friendship! ! !

Meanwhile, Si YuFan was too busy happily eating XunMi’s tofu to care. {T/N: eating tofu is slang for taking an opportunity to get all touchy-feely with someone}

XunMi was already speechless. “That, it’s getting late. Let’s meet up in the game.” She spoke as she pulled Si YuFan up to leave. This fellow was really too much. He better not think that she didn’t know exactly what he was scheming. Was her tofu that tasty? She really needed to teach him a lesson or two.
