After two years...
Bing Shi 21, Xuan Mu 19.
Xuan Mu got a few days off to prepare for his finals, but instead of studying, he took this opportunity to play with Bing Shi, who had her finals earlier.
After Bing Shi got used to university life, she finished all her exams without any serious problems. Usually, she would go back ho to help out her parents. But this ti, she decided to stay back.
.....
Right now, both of them were in their rooms, playing an MMO together.
“I need a part-ti job. I’m going for an interview this Friday. A pretty big construction company. Wish luck!” notified Bing Shi nervously, checking her avatar’s inventory.
“Will you be alright? Do you need money?” asked Xuan Mu, going through the prices of items in the ga’s marketplace.
“No, don’t I have a money-making machine?” Bing Shi sent all her money from her character to Xuan Mu’s character.
“Good luck with the interview,” Xuan Mu chuckled and accepted her money.
“Thanks! To be an authorized engineer, I have to have at least three years of working experience, plus, I need to finish a special legislation exam successfully,” Bing Shi sighed.
“Is it necessary?” Xuan Mu raised a question.
“Yes! It’s people’s safety we are talking about. The Bureau won’t accept a blueprint without an authorization stamp. Such a hassle...” Bing Shi sighed again.
“University is such a waste. Students struggle with it for such a long ti, and when they finish, they will be less successful than a high schooler,” Xuan Mu laughed at her misfortune.
“You are too much. Stop making fun of us! But what you said is true, haha!” Bing Shi agreed, “Why don’t you skip grades?”
“I always get calls from the company to resolve so problems,” stated Xuan Mu, “School is a good excuse to get a few days off without looking suspicious.”
“Xuan Mu, I have to congratulate myself for catching such a big fish,” Bing Shi chirped proudly.
“I’m a big fish now?” Xuan Mu smiled smugly. Until recently, he was her sugar daddy and a money-making machine, “Even that surgeon who was interested in you. Can he be compared to ?”
Bing Shi scowled, she only wanted to be with Xuan Mu, nobody else, “Don’t even ntion him, just hearing him makes my ears bleed. And it wasn’t him who was interested but his parents.”
“Is there anyone else who I need to know about?” Xuan Mu was enraged with the thought that others would try to get with Bing Shi, even if it was their parents wanting their sons to. What was wrong with all these marriage proposals? His little girl was still young!
“Um, my landlord introduced to a lawyer? No worries, I wanted to tell you today. Such an awkward scene, haha...” she laughed awkwardly.
“Did you exchange contact info?” Another fly!? Xuan Mu wanted to put a bug repellent on her.
“He gave his business card? I didn’t give him mine though. But there is a chance my landlord gave him my number...” And right at that mont, she got a ssage from an unknown number. “Oh, he invited out for a drink...” she muttered disinterestedly.
“Block him. Delete his number. Throw away his business card,” said Xuan Mu, irritated beyond belief.
“If he weren’t an acquaintance of the landlord, I would ignore him. But he is. I can’t disrespect the landlord, who was always good to , right?” she asked.
“If he contacts you again, I’m sending all my lawyers under , to go after him. If your landlord introduces you to sobody again, I’ll be your new landlord.”
Except Bing Shi, nobody knew if he was telling the truth or just joking.
“What if he wants to be friends only? I wrote that my parents don’t want to go out alone with a stranger. Like a good girl, I have to listen to them. He has to gain their approval first. I gave him my parent’s number, let them take care of it,” she laughed evilly, two invisible horns appearing above her head.
“I’m calling your parents,” he said. Was this her new way of chasing n away? But this man? He wanted her as a future wife! Not a one night stand or a girlfriend! That lawyer would call her parents for sure.
“Sure, go ahead, say hello to them from ,” Bing Shi grinned.
That day, Bing Shi’s parents got a call from two n. After Xuan Mu’s request, they refused the young lawyer without rcy. Could anyone be compared to their future son in law? No! Their daughter never called them, but Xuan Mu always inford them about her well being. He gave off the impression of a mature man.
If they knew about Xuan Mu’s twisted relationship with Bing Shi, would they still approve of him?
Due to their promise of not touching, only Bing Shi’s parents and brothers knew about their relationship. At school, they knew Bing Shi had a boyfriend, but nobody saw him yet.
Who would’ve thought that this promise would help Xuan Mu in his sches? Because, wouldn’t it be bad if soone knew about his weakness?
“Bing Shi, you don’t even know how much power I hold now, do you?”
“Not really, but it sounds so cool! Another reason for to work harder. I have to catch up to you,” she said, full of determination.
“But don’t cheat on . The thought of you, handshaking with other n, is killing . Do you have to?” he asked for the last ti. She could be very stubborn, sotis. They talked a lot about this problem.
“Xuan Mu, people touched before, like my doctors when I go for an injection or my dentist. Even though they are all won,” Bing Shi pursed her lips into a tight line.
“You are going to shake hands with n! Your occupation is full of n!” Xuan Mu insisted. Why couldn’t she beco his wife and stay at ho? He had to remind himself that they wanted to be an OP couple.
“Xuan Mu it’s a B.u.s.i.n.e.s.s. handshake. I won’t shake hands with people who have ulterior motives, don’t worry,” she reasoned.
“Hmpf!” he pouted in refusal.
“...” Bing Shi sighed.
‘Who said he is mature? Take it back!’
During this whole ti, they were repeating one dungeon over and over, waiting for one item to drop. Thanks to Xuan Mu, they found the most efficient pattern to finish the dungeon fast.
