Chapter 138 (Shan Shan’s Little Warm Nest)
Early in the morning, I hadn’t even open my eyes when I heard the sound of Xu Lin’s speaking, then the voice of a knock on the door came.
Lu Xue Han opened the door and stuck her head in. Seeing that I was still wrapped in my quilt, she smiled, “Lin Fan, get up for breakfast!”
I let out a sound as a response and exerting my strength to rub my eyes. The sun was shining outside the window. The road was already crowded by pedestrians.
I got dressed and washed myself. Then I found Xu Lin, Xin Yu, and Lu Xue Han hadn’t eaten their breakfast. They were looking at me with full of enthusiasm.
“What are you looking at? Have I grown flowers on my face?”
Xu Lin chuckled, “No flowers, but it’s really hard for me to imagine that a rich man worth over a hundred million is living in the room across from me.”
“Yeah, and he’s wearing a pair of a 12 RMB cotton slippers!” Xin Yu also said, grinning.
I glanced at Lu Xue Han, who was sitting next to Xin Yu and said, “Xue Han is also worth more than a hundred million. And she’s also wearing the same cheap slippers like mine. Why aren’t you teasing her?”
Xin Yu pulled a chair at her side for me to sit down and replied smiling, “That’s different. Xue Han is cute when she wore a beautiful cartoon girl slippers. But you’re a grown-up man. Your taste is quite a bit unique…”
“That’s right,” Xu Lin suddenly said to me and Lu Xue Han, “Both of you have so much money now. Have you thought about buying a house to move out?”
A trace of a lovely blushed immediately showed on Lu Xue Han’s snow-white face. Xu Lin hurriedly stressed out, “I didn’t mean the two of you moving in together. I just want to ask when are you going to move out. Ah, what am I talking about. Forget it, let’s eat!”
Xu Lin started to feel awkward, Xin Yu also couldn’t say more and gave me a bowl of porridge.
“Lin Fan, why don’t you eat? Didn’t you say that you’re going to meet Murong Shan Shan?”
Xu Lin raised her head, staring at me as I was peeking at Xin Yu chest that seemed as if it was going to burst out of her pink sweater.
“Ah, is there such a thing? Oh, right. Yesterday, I promised Murong Shan Shan…”
“What?”
Xin Yu raised her eyebrows, staring at me, “Lin Fan, recently, you’re seeing Murong Shan Shan more often. I was actually gonna ask you to accompany me to buy clothes.”
I was blanked and replied in surprise, “Accompanying you to buy clothes? How come I never hear you saying that?”
“I just thought about it. So?”
“Okay, then. Let’s do it tomorrow morning. I won’t be leveling but accompanying you to buy clothes. We’ll also bring Xue Han along!”
At the side, Lu Xue Han chuckled, “Okay, no problem!”
After breakfast, Xin Yu and Xu Lin wanted to drag Lu Xue Han to kill monsters on the mountain, so I was able to slip out smoothly.
Now that I had money, I didn’t need to take the crowded bus anymore, directly hit a cab!
Just when I open the taxi’s door, I remembered that I didn’t have any cash with at all…
s.h.i.t!
Now, I couldn’t even afford to take the bus, so I had to simply walk on my way there…
I looked at my watch, it was already half past eight. It was close to the time I agreed to meet Murong Shan Shan, so I couldn’t help but trot.
The security guard at the XX University didn’t do anything to block me. I was wearing casual clothes so I didn’t look any different from the other students. Of course, considering my clothes, I looked just like a poor student. From head to toe, I only wore normal attires, not those designer brands. The rich people wouldn’t wear this kind of clothes.
On the campus path, there were many students dragging their luggage to go home to celebrate the Chinese new year, only a few of them remained at school. Only two types of students would remain in the school; one would be those whose homes were too far away and couldn’t buy the ticket, and the others are those who were addicted to play online games or with women, and didn’t want to go home.
Several girls carrying small bags and luggage who knew me came over. Cocoa greeted me from a distance, “Lin Fan, you’re late. Shan Shan is currently squalling in her dormitory. If you don’t hurry, you’ll be chopped into pieces.”
“So exaggerating?” I asked in surprise.
Cocoa stuck out her tongue and continued, “Suit yourself if you don’t believe me. There’s a gazebo over there. If you’re not afraid of Shan Shan getting angry, why don’t you sit over there. With any luck, you might even see couples kissing before parting away!”
I was speechless, but Cocoa had already gotten out of the campus with a group of girls bursting in laughter.
I walked quietly and carefully to avoid meeting the girl’s dormitory auntie. As far as I knew, this girls dormitory wasn’t a place where boys could get in. Thinking of the past, because Ye Qiu and I were officials of the student council, we used health inspection as an excuse to tour the girl’s dormitory. It was also then when I met Xiao Yu…
I didn’t want to think about it anymore. Thinking of her caused my heart to feel terrible again!
Under the gaze of a few women’s surprised eyes, I quickly fled to the second floor of the dormitory where Murong Shan Shan’s place was located.
I knocked on the door softly. A few seconds later, the door opened, and her beautiful and elegant face immediately reflected in my eyes. But to my surprise, she wasn’t as furious as Cocoa described before. Instead, she was actually very relaxed. On her left hand, she was still holding a cup steamed with hot coffee, while her other snow-white little hand started to prepare another cup of coffee after opening the door.
“Lin Fan, do you want a cup of coffee?”
I asked surprisingly, “Don’t you want to move? You still have the time to leisurely drink coffee?”
“Cut the c.r.a.p. You haven’t arrived, and everyone was gone. Of course, I need to find something else to do!” She shoved the cup of coffee into my hands and grumpily said, “After you finished the coffee, we’ll do the work!”
I quickly took the cup and finished it in two or three gulps. I noticed her bed was already packed. Girl’s stuff was different. They didn’t have much stuff, but very clean. Even her gaming workstations and quilt had been packed already, she was only waiting for my labor work.
Fortunately, with the science and technology development until today, the weight of the workstations were less than ten pounds, and they were quite small in size and were waterproofed. Even Xin Yu was using the workstation as a nightstand to put her stuff. The most troublesome were Murong Shan Shan’s two quilts. Their sizes weren’t small. And with just a look, it could be seen that they were high-quality items. It felt very soft when you touched it.
Murong Shan Shan seemed to see what’s troubling me, so she said, “I’ll take the helmet. Only bringing one quilt should be sufficient. I still have two quilts at the house.”
I nodded and took a thin rope to tie the quilt and workstation together. Then, I picked it up with one hand, and got the helmet with my other hand. I would feel sorry if I let this beautiful Murong Shan Shan carry some stuff.
…
Outside the campus, on the supermarket roof across the street, a few workers were putting up an ad-poster on the wall. Both of us didn’t pay too much attention to it and walked to the taxi stop. A few seconds later, the poster on the wall rolled down open. I was immediately shocked after I saw it…
The whole big wall was covered by the giant poster. Seeing the picture on the poster, both of us uttered a cry… It was a promotional poster for [Moon Monochrome]. The large screen was divided into two parts. The left one was the scene of an intense battle, where an enormous dark-blue light chopped over a crowd head. The one who released this enormous light was none other than Murong Shan Shan. And beside her, it could be obviously seen that the one holding the Sword of Darkness was me. I was brandishing my sword, killing the enemies.
And on the right, it was a close-up picture of Murong Shan Shan. Her creamy snow-white face revealing a charming smile. Her beautiful figure was clearly revealed under her unique breastplate. On her back, the fire-red cape fluttered by the wind. And behind her, was the image of the majestic Silvermoon City.
I was speechless in my surprise. The scene was just taken from last night’s battle, and it was already printed out so early in the morning. The advertising department’s people were very diligent.
“No way!” Murong Shan Shan gnashed her teeth while looking at the picture and said, “I have to go to the game’s company for promotion fees!”
I nodded. If this was brought to the court, she would surely win the case. After all, her looks in reality and in the game were almost identical. This was a matter of personality rights.
“Mom, look! It’s that big sister!”
A child’s voice came from the bus station nearby. I immediately looked over and saw a little boy pointing toward Muroang Shan Shan and also pointed to the poster on the supermarket’s wall.
Almost in an instant, everyone on the station looked over and understood immediately upon seeing us. The eyes of several young people suddenly became burning hot.
Murong Shan Shan quickly grabbed the helmet from my hand, kicked me into a cab, and said, “Hurry up! Are you waiting for the mob to s.n.a.t.c.h me away? d.a.m.n [Moon Monochrome] company. I’ll definitely settle this debt with them!”
The driver looked back and was immediately stupefied by Murong Shan Shan’s charming look. He kept speechless for a long time.
“Wu Zhong south road, thank you…” Murong Shan Shan said sweetly to the driver with a smile.
“Oh, right away…”
The driver wiped the sweat from his forehead and swallowed down hard. Then, he started to drive.
Murong Shan Shan put the quilt on her lap and with one hand, she took the game helmet and said, “Lin Fan, after lunch, we have to quickly brush off our red names, otherwise, it will be too troublesome. This morning, Young and Frivolous called me. The current situation is still okay. According to our intel, Red Blood is now desperately fighting BOSSes to earn Prestige. It is estimated that today he will be able to establish his guild. At that time, the situation in Silvermoon City will be very lively.”
I put my hands behind my head and carelessly said, “It’s going to be lively for sure. My guess is that Red Blood will be the first to apply for the guild’s station area. In that case, his guild will have a fixed base. Shan Shan, what thoughts do you have?”
“I have no idea at all,” Murong Shan Shan said with an indifferent look. “You also know that the application fee for the station area is 200 million RMB, too outrageous. Currently, I don’t have much left in the operating funds. Even if I still have more, it wouldn’t be enough to buy a station area. So, I can only drool while watching someone else’s station area.”
“Ah, you’re Murong Shan Shan?”
The driver looked back at us, his face full of excitement.
“Big brother, drive carefully!”
Murong Shan Shan said grumpily. At the same time, the car had stopped at a platform.
Without waiting for us to say anything, the driver waved his hand to Murong Shan Shan and said, “No need to pay. You’re a celebrity. It was an honor to me that you take this cab.”
I was shocked. There were still people in this world who would worship others blindly!
Murong Shan Shan didn’t hesitate and immediately got out of the car, and then she led me into the neighborhood.
…
“Oh, isn’t this Shan Shan? Are you moving in today?”
A somewhat b.i.t.c.hy voice came from behind. I quickly turned to look and saw a plump, middle-aged woman. Her right hand was carrying a small basket while she’s holding a fish on her left hand.
“This is an aunt who lives across my place!” Murong Shan Shan whispered in my ear. Then, she revealed a sweed smile and with a tired voice, saying to that middle-aged woman, “Aunt w.a.n.g, just back from buying food? So many dishes, are you treating someone for lunch?”
The woman smiled, “I’m not inviting anyone. This afternoon, my son and daughter-in-law are coming back for a meal, so I bought some more dishes.”
On that note, the woman noticed me behind Murong Shan Shan. Her eyes suddenly became ambiguous, “Shan Shan, is this guy your boyfriend? You have good eyes!”
I originally thought that Murong Shan Shan would at least be somewhat shy. Never did I expect that she would suddenly play rogue… She quickly tugged my sleeves and smiled, “Lin Fan, quick, greet auntie! We’ll meet her often in the future!”
d.a.m.n, I suddenly met her evil side!
I was kind of depressed at the bottom of my heart, but still squeezed out a smile, “Auntie… how are you?”
“I’m fine… The young people nowadays really know their manner!” The woman said with a smile. If her hands were free, I believed that she would have run over to pat my head!
So, all of us went upstairs. This residential building was built quite recently, almost everything was still brand new. The park and public facilities couldn’t be compared to the shabby neighborhood where I currently lived. Even the security guards at the gate were much more energic.
The apartment that she rented was on the second floor, so none of us used the lift. On the stairs, aunt w.a.n.g repeatedly invited Murong Shan Shan to come to her place for lunch, but was turned down. I had a strong feeling that this middle-aged woman had something against me. Otherwise, she wouldn’t just invite Murong Shan Shan alone for lunch.
“Click…”
Murong Shan Shan opened the door and pushed me inside. I was suddenly startled, this place could only be described as exquisite. I had some doubt about Murong Shan Shan saying she rented this place. Generally, a rental apartment wouldn’t have such a beautiful decoration. No matter how you looked at it, it was clearly a girl’s place. Although decorated differently than Lu Xue Han’s room, but it had somewhat the same feel.
“First, help me to get the equipment installed. We’ll have lunch here later!” Murong Shan Shan smiled when she put down the quilt.
I looked at the room inside and asked, “Shan Shan, did you buy this house?”
“He he, you saw through it… Because of my study, my mom bought this house two years ago. But I seldom come here. I just sometimes come over for routine cleaning and let the fresh air in.”
Murong Shan Shan proudly looked at my surprised expression and smiled sweetly, “Isn’t this place really nice? Why don’t you move out from your place and stay together with me?”
“Huh…!?”
This couldn’t be true. This couldn’t be true!
I swallowed hardly my saliva. Living together with Murong Shan Shan, this was a little bit too ecstatic…
