ALL STAR WEEKEND DAY THREE: DATE TIME?
Chapter Text
Meanwhile at the opposite room , Chen Guo and Tang Rou was also having a heart to heart talk about Ye Xiu’s situation.
“Why would he suddenly retire out of nowhere? His condition is slipping? Did you know? When he fought with Du Ming, he used Dragon Raises Its Head! Do you know what that is? Maybe you don’t know yet, but this is a move that only one person in the entire GLORY can pull off! Even though it hadn’t been used in a while, he used it again today. Slipping condition? Bullsh*t!” Chen Guo fired off like a cannon.
“Oh? Then I have a guess. Want to listen?” Tang Rou asked.
“Go ahead.”
“He said before, that when he went back home, he parted on bad terms, right?” Tang Rou said.
“Yeah.”
“What’s the salary for a pro player in GLORY? Compared to the average person.” Tang Rou was only asking but she had a rough assumption that it could be high.
“How could they be compared! Each and every contract is at a sky high price!”
Tang Rou nodded: “Ye Xiu had been a top-tier God in Glory since the very beginning. Even if his family doesn’t understand his achievements, with just his income, his family should have at least been able to recognize that, even though there are several problems with being a pro gamer, Ye Xiu’s an exception. He had already become a top-tier player in the pro scene and he shouldn’t be so disdained like that, right? Tang Rou explained.
“Yeah……That’s true……With his status, he shouldn’t have too much to worry about.” Chen Guo nodded.
“However, they still parted on bad terms. That’s why I think that his family probably isn’t an ordinary family. His status as a Glory pro player and his income didn’t mean anything in front of his family’s eyes.”
“Could he be from an extremely wealthy family?” Chen Guo said in astonishment. That lazy looking guy that didn’t care about appearance? Could he really be a wealthy heir?
“I am not sure about this but maybe he’s the heir of the Ye Corporation.”Tang Rou assumed and nodded. The more she thought about this, the more it became possible.
“Ye Corporation? That one that was rank somewhere at the top?” Chen Guo asked, unsure. She wasn’t really well versed in the corporate world but she at least had read some business magazines.
“Mmmm…do you know the identity of the girl with him? She’s the daughter of the former prime minister. Their family owned the Li Corporation.” Tang Rou shared but she somehow felt guilty. Chen Guo still didn’t know her identity. But knowing Chen Gou. This Jiejie would surely wouldn’t care.
“The other one on the top rank?” Chen Guo was really amazed. When she first met Li Chunhua, she really had the gut feeling that the girl wasn’t ordinary. Such Giant Corporation heir and heiress were just a room away from them. She would probably be more amazed if she knew the identity of the girl beside her.
“Yes, so given their relationship. You could see that they didn’t looked like someone who just met in games. If I’m right then they knew each other through their families. If this assumption is true then how can his salary and popularity as a gamer be compared to their family’s wealth?”
“That make sense.” Chen Guo nodded her head.
Tang Rou went silent for a moment. After seeing that Chen Guo wasn’t going to say anything, she continued: “If we go further, when Ye Xiu can no longer able to stay in the pro scene, where will he go then? Is his home his first choice?”
When things got there, Chen Guo suddenly understood: “So you’re saying that his retirement might also have something to do with his family?”
“Yeah……I have that sort of feeling.” Tang Rou nodded. At this time, she was really thankful that her father was supportive.
“That……” Chen Guo didn’t know what to say.
At that time, her train of thoughts was interrupted by consecutive knocks from the door. It was so unhurried that you could imagine how lazy was the person knocking.
“Oh?” Chen Guo was a little uncomfortable. She pity Ye Xiu so much that she couldn’t face the guy.
“I’ll go open the door then.” Tang Rou volunteered.
She stood up and opened the door for the lazy guy. When Ye Xiu saw Tang Rou, he just stood there and didn’t invite himself in. Instead, he scratched his head and awkwardly asked: “Do you have some extra clothes?”
“For Senior Li?”
“Yes.” Ye Xiu nodded. Who else? The girl was so demanding that she couldn’t sleep with her worn clothes. Ye Xiu couldn’t really understand because he could even wear his clothes for a week.
“Wait!” Tang Rou said and she went inside. Luckily she did bring some extras. That was the power of girls’ minds, they were always ready.
Ye Xiu waited for her but didn’t look inside. It was the girl’s privacy after all. That time, Chen Guo was sneaking a peek at him with her eyes full of pity. If Ye Xiu could see her then he really wouldn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. What’s there to pity? It was his choice and he didn’t regret it. Yes, he felt a bit sorry but if he really regretted what he did then he would have gone home long ago. They were still family after all.
“Here!” Tang Rou handed Ye Xiu a pair of pink short sleeve suit and shorts. It was silky, Li Chunhua would surely love it.
“Thanks!” Ye Xiu bade farewell as he open his own door.
Li Chunhua was already done showering and she was currently sitting on the edge of the bed while drying her hair with a towel. She was only wearing a knee length robe. Her cheeks was still tainted red because of the hot shower. This scene was really quite alluring that even Ye Xiu who didn’t have that much of worldly desire felt his heart beating so fast.
“Here’s your clothes. It was from little Tang.” Ye Xiu said. He placed the set of nightwear beside Li Chunhua. The sweet fruity scent of the body wash that she had used was still permeating in the air. Inviting Ye Xiu to inch closer.
“Oh? Thanks!” She smiled not knowing how dangerous was that smile. Thankfully she was with Ye Xiu. If it was some other man then it was not a question if they could control themselves. A beauty alone in the room with you? How disastrous!
Well the main reason that Li Chunhua acted so careless was because she knew Ye Xiu. The guy couldn’t even see her as a woman. What threat could her beauty make?
At this time, Ye Xiu suddenly grabbed the towel from Li Chunhua’s hands. It was a quick move that Li Chunhua didn’t have time to react.
“Let me dry your hair.” He said simply in an unusually low voice.
Li Chunhua could feel her heart beating fast. Her ears were also starting to heat up. She was really having a hard time controlling herself.
He will just dry your hair, why are you so excited?
Ye Xiu looked at the long silky hair in front of him. He lifted his right hand and ruffled it indulgently.
“What are you doing? I thought you’re going to dry it?” Li Chunhua complained.
“Hahaha!” Ye Xiu just laughed and proceeded in drying the girl’s hair.
The man dried the girls hair while the girl was humming a song she couldn’t even remember the title. Her voice was sweet and melodious that anyone who heard her might thought that it was a lullaby. The two people hearts beat as one without them even knowing. The scene looked so harmonious and lovely. If certain Gods would see this scene then they might just kill themselves.
“I have a question…” the girl suddenly asked.
“Mmmn…what is it?” Ye Xiu looked at the girl while he didn’t stop working with her hair.
Li Chunhua clasped her hand together. Not knowing were to start. She really didn’t know what had gotten into her that she thought of asking this question. Maybe because the feeling was so surreal that she wanted to wake herself up.
“Have you ever love someone?” Li Chunhua asked in a weak voice.
Ye Xiu was caught off guard. Why is she asking him that question? Did she already have someone? The thought was so painful that he stopped drying the girls hair. He put down the towel and sat beside the girl. Will he be promoted from brother zone to a love guru?
“Yes.” Ye Xiu waited for her to asked who so that he could shamelessly say ‘you’ but the girl just bowed her head. He really hadn’t learnt anything from the things that Tang Rou said. He was still shameless that he couldn’t help but to punch a line.
Hearing Ye Xiu’s answer, Li Chunhua couldn’t utter a word. Who could that be? She never saw Ye Xiu with someone else other than Mumu. And Mumu couldn’t be that girl. Did this happened when she was in a coma?
“So it is like that?” Li Chunhua’s mood immediately became sour. She stood up and grabbed the set of clothes beside her. “I’m going to change.”
Ye Xiu was confused? What just happened? Did the girl wanted to share something then suddenly decided not to. Seeing the girls dejected look, Ye Xiu became furious. He suddenly wanted to have a smoke. But he remembered that Li Chunhua was not fond of the smell so he stopped himself.
He forcefully threw himself on the bed as he ruffled his hair in irritation. Who was that bastard that made the girl he love sad? He racked his brain to think of the possible names for his hit list. The son of the Wu corporation? Some subsidiary companies’ heirs? Esport player? No, it couldn’t be Old Han, he’s too ugly to be Xiao Li’s type. Then who? If he only just knew that it was he himself!
When Li Chunhua returned, Ye Xiu was already asleep. She was really speechless. This guy? Did they already agreed that he would take the couch? She shifted her view from the sleeping guy to the small couch. She felt guilty to wake him up. The couch was indeed small for him.
Li Chunhua contemplated for sometime and finally decided to lie beside the guy. She slowly moved the comforter afraid that the guy might wake up. It would be awkward for her to sleep beside him if that happened. What Li Chunhua didn’t know was that Ye Xiu was still awake. He was still thinking about his possible enemy, how could he sleep that easily?
When he felt the weight on the other side of the bed, all his irritation vanished into thin air. Li Chunhua decided to sleep beside him? This was really a fortunate turn of events!!!
Because of the overwhelming happiness, Ye Xiu uncontrollably reached for the girl’s wrist and pull her into his embrace.
Li Chunhua who was mindfully positioning herself in the other side of the bed was so shocked. What had gotten to Ye Xiu’s mind that he pulled her into an embrace?
"What are you doing?!" She pushed the guy but he wouldn't budged.
"Mmmn...." Ye Xiu made a sound as if he was still asleep. Even though he wasn't in the first place.
Li Chunhua was still perplexed. She wasn't sure if Ye Xiu was just faking it or was he really in deep slumber that he unconsciously embraced her? But when she looked up to see the guy’s face, he was indeed still sleeping or so how he chose himself to look like.
Li Chunhua’s mind became clouded. Her heart was now beating erratically. This proximity…how could she react in this situation. She was pressed against his chest. Her hand that was seized by him earlier was still being held by him and was the only space between the two of them.
She felt his warm breath above her head as she smelled the hint of tobacco mixed with the mouth wash he used earlier. And when she looked up, Ye Xiu’s thin soft lips coincidentally pressed against her forehead.
This? Never would she imagine that things would escalate to this point. But maybe the little demon on her mind wanted this to happen. She evilly thought to herself, how fortunate that she could take advantage of him at this state?
She smiled sinfully. Why couldn't she exploit and make use of the situation? Isn’t this too sweet to be wasted? Isn’t this just like a dream that she could reward herself for a little while and when the two of them wake up tomorrow, they could just forget about it. After compelling herself that it was alright, Li Chunhua nodded as she hugged the guy beside her while she swam into the depths of her dreams.
At this time, Ye Xiu was shocked frozen. It wasn’t the first time that the girl hugged him. Actually when they were young, Li Chunhua was indeed very clingy. It was just that they hadn’t seen each for so long that he had forgotten about the feeling of having her arms wrapped around him. But he was sure that the girl’s effect to him only got stronger.
The girl’s warmth against his body. Her warm breath on hollow of his shoulder. Her sweet smell. It was so intoxicating. Ye Xiu couldn’t explain what he was feeling right now. It seemed like he was literally holding his world inside his embrace. With this thought, Ye Xiu happily drifted to his sleep.
The two lovebirds snuggled until the morning rise and the new day begins.
Li Chunhua was the first to wake up. As she drowsily opened her eyes, she was met with Ye Xiu's pale face. She was shocked awake and hurriedly tried to remember what had happened for them to be in this situation. Right! She listened to her sinful mind and decided to take advantage of the guy's slumber!
"Oh my gosh! I was really courageous!" Li Chunhua thought to herself.
Now, how could she escape from her predicament? Li Chunhua assessed her situation. Ye Xiu was hugging her waist, firmly at that. How could she release herself without waking the guy? And why was she so tensed? Isn't it Ye Xiu who grabbed and pulled her?
Li Chunhua was racking her brain so hard but one look at the guy's face and she was distracted again. Ye Xiu was really handsome even without those amber eyes. His lips were thin and though he loves smoking it remained pinkish. This was only amplified with his fair complexion. Maybe because he didn't like going out that Ye Xiu has a pale and puffy face. It was somehow cute and quite odd for his personality.
Li Chunhua lifted her right hand and couldn't help but to trace the guy's pale face. She unconsciously smiled as she enjoyed the scenery in front of her. Ye Xiu was indeed alluring when he was not using his foul mouth. At this moment, his long eyelashes casted a shadow on his face that created a mysterious illusion. Ye Xiu was indeed a mystery. A water that you couldn't see the true depth.
"What are you doing?" Ye Xiu asked groggily as he seized Li Chunhua's wrist.
Li Chunhua became tensed. How was she supposed to escape. Thankfully, it seemed like Ye Xiu was only half awake. When he thought that he wasn't on a dangerous situation, he once again fell asleep.
Li Chunhua heaved a sigh of relief. She then skillfuly removed herself from Ye Xiu's embrace. No matter how much she wanted the feeling of his arms around her, she couldn't take the consequence.
When Ye Xiu woke up, Li Chunhua was nowhere beside him. He surveyed the surroundings still muddle headed from sleep. He even thought that everything that happened last night was just his sweet imagination.
At this time Li Chunhua was happily enjoying her food at the dining hall. Many passerby was quite amazed. Someone so beautiful could eat that much?
Li Chunhua was thinking if she should bring Ye Xiu some when she caught sight of the two beautiful sisters, Cheng Guo and Tang Rou.
“Hi! Morning!” Li Chunhua enthusiastically greeted.
Tang Rou and Chen Guo looked at each other. Did something good happened? Oh oh oh! They were adults after all. It couldn’t be helped if their minds ran wild.
“You looked like both of you didn’t sleep at all.” Li Chunhua laughed. The revelation might be so shocking that prevented the two from sleeping.
“You know why!” Chen Guo said as she helplessly smiled. She really have a good feeling with this girl. Despite her appearance and status in life, she was still comfortable to be with.
The two helped themselves and sat with the girl. This three beautiful girls in the same table was really garnering some attention.
“Anyway where was he?” Chen Guo asked.
“Still sleeping of course. You know how lazy that guy is.” Li Chunhua rolled her eyes.
“Who’s lazy?” Suddenly a familiar voice whispered through her ear. All the the hair on her back stood up. Did he really have to do that? She was sensitive okay. Most of all, she was sensitive of him.
“Who do you think huh?” Li Chunhua snickered.
“Aww it’s me indeed. But it wasn’t my fault. My body felt sore all over because of last night.” Ye Xiu innocently said.
“Cough!” That was Chen Guo.
“Wow! Aren’t you the one who pulled me into you’re embrace?”
“Cough!” That was Tang Rou.
“How will I know? Do you think I had control over my body?”
“Cough! Cough! Cough!” Chen Guo was really going to die on the spot. This two….really? Her innocent mind was running wild and was recreating the scene that the two was talking about. Only that it wasn’t really what happened.
“Guoguo? Are you alright?” Tang Rou asked as she offered Chen Guo a glass of water.
“I’m okay, I’m okay…” Chen Guo waved her hand dismissively.
This time, the two already stopped bantering. Ye Xiu sat beside Li Chunhua and snatched the girl’s food. The girl pouted and slap the guy’s back.
“Are you two attending the all star?” Ye Xiu suddenly asked with pain etched all over his face.
“Yes.” Chen Guo nodded her head. It wasn’t easy for her to get the three day tickets and based on the retail price, this day’s event was the most expensive. She couldn’t just let this ticket go to waste.
“Then you should be careful. The press might ask you about us.” Li Chunhua reminded.
Chen Guo and Tang Rou nodded their heads. It was obvious that the two of them were acquainted with God Ye Qiu and Goddess Spring Night. It would even be a surprise if the press didn’t bother them.
“Then were are you going?” Chen Guo curiously asked.
“Us? We’re going on a date…” Ye Xiu naturally announced as if he and Li Chunhua did decided on this together.
