novelChu Xia's Aggrieved Crying And The New Bronze Mission!
| ← Ch.281 | Ch.283 → |
Sitting on the sofa beside him, Su Yang stretched his back. He felt incomparably comfortable. It was just like getting a full body massage as he felt incomparably relaxed. The feeling was simply like being reborn.
Little Deeny was rubbing his legs on the side as she cautiously asked, "Master, what happened to you just now?"
Su Yang opened his mouth and was about to explain but the phone rang again in the living room.
A stream of data flashed in Little Deeny's eyes."Master, it's still Miss Chu Xia."
'Chu Xia is looking for me, again?
'What is it? She made two calls in a row. ' Su Yang motioned for Little Deeny to wait for a moment and picked up the phone. Then, Chu Xia's cries came out of the receiver, "Su Yang... sob, sob."
Hearing Chu Xia's cry, Su Yang's heart trembled."What's wrong? Chu Xia? Why are you crying?"
Chu Xia choked."Where were you? I can't even reach you on the phone."
Su Yang made up an excuse."Oh... I've just taken a shower."
Chu Xia replied in aggravation, "Su Yang, are you free? Can you come over and keep me company?"
Su Yang didn't ask why but simply said, "Okay. I'll come to you. Send me the location."
Chu Xia sobbed."Okay."
He hung up the phone, and within two minutes, Su Yang received Chu Xia's location at the school on his WeChat account.
"Huh? What are you doing at school during the holidays? Are all university secretaries this busy these days?' While Su Yang thought about it, he packed up and prepared to go out.
As he was packing, Su Yang didn't forget to explain to Little Deeny what had just happened."Anyway, the general gist of it was that I added points to a strange special item. As a result, I got cheated by the special item and was turned into a salty fish without any dignity. ' Little Deeny held back a smile as she listened to Su Yang's story. Then, she smiled and gave Su Yang a huge thumbs up.
Su Yang thought she was praising him for being smart... However, since Chu Xia had asked to see him on such short notice, Su Yang couldn't go out to buy the recipe items from the system store for the (Circus of Unknown Abilities). So, he wrote down the remaining three items and asked Janet to buy them.
Su Yang also handed Janet the keys to his house.
After all, Su Yang had the (Universal Paper Key) and could open any door. He could open any door and didn't need a key at all.
After packing up, Su Yang left the virtual space, went out through the door, and went to the school to find Chu Xia.
Following the address Chu Xia's provided him, Su Yang quickly found her. However, the task system which hadn't prompted him in a really long time beeped before he approached Chu Xia. (Triggered: New Bronze Mission available)
'Eh? A new bronze mission?
'It's been a long time since I've seen a bronze mission. How nostalgic. 'I've forgotten when it was the last time. It seems like I rarely receive new quests anymore. It's more like I only buy things from the system store nowadays. '
Su Yang tapped on the Bronze Mission.
[New Bronze Mission: Help Chu Xia solve the difficulties she encountered. ]
'Hmm...
'Help solve her difficulties?'
Su Yang felt that things weren't that simple.
'If it was just a simple quest, a random quest would be enough. Why would it need to give me a bronze mission?'
With that in mind, Su Yang went over to Chu Xia's side. The girl was pursing her lips with her head lowered as she played with her phone. Su Yang quietly looked at the screen of her phone. 'Hmm... seems like she is playing a royal harem game, called Legend of Concubine. '
Su Yang seemed to have incidentally read about it on the internet. It was a game that taught people how to climb step by step up in the harem from a palace maid to an empress and finally dethrone the emperor.
'Hmm... '
Su Yang looked at Chu Xia. 'You really can't judge a book by its cover.. '
Su Yang quietly walked behind Chu Xia, then patted her on the shoulder, "Hey. What a coincidence."
Chu Xia raised her head and saw that it was Su Yang. When she did, a bright smile blossomed on her face."You're here!"
Under the sun, Chu Xia looked very beautiful. She had the standard round face, pure white milky skin that looked like it had the luster of a young girl, an incomparably delicate ear, and a little blush of red against her pure white skin. Perhaps, it was because he was standing extremely close to her, so Su Yang can even see the tiny short fluffs on her hair.
Chu Xia's eyes were slightly red, which made her smile look aggrieved and heartbreaking. Her weak and heartbreaking temperament simply made people want to take her into their embrace and give her some love. Su Yang was actually stunned and felt a little crazy. Being watched by Su Yang, Chu Xia's cheeks flushed a pretty red colour. She lightly stepped on Su Yang's foot and said, "Hey. Young Master, you're staring!"
Su Yang returned to his senses and coughed to hide his embarrassment.
He didn't know why but he always seemed to get distracted when facing Chu Xia. Sitting next to Chu Xia, Su Yang asked, "Tell me, what's the reason for calling me out in such a hurry? Besides... Why are you at school?"
Chu Xia wrinkled her nose and pursed her lips, "You still have the nerve to say it. Why did I come to school? Isn't it because of you?"
Su Yang pointed to himself, a little surprised."For me?"
She replied, "Yeah, you don't answer my calls. I just wanted to be close to you, so I took a taxi to school."
Su Yang was speechless.
'Hmm...
"This reason seems to make sense. '
As he was thinking about it, Chu Xia pulled out the taxi ticket from her pocket and smiled sheepishly."See if you can claim this invoice."
Su Yang was speechless. 'Why does this sound so familiar? 'It's the same trick I used after saving her! I never thought it'd be used against me one day! 'This is the biggest insult of all!'
Su Yang blew raspberries as he took the invoice."I'll check the date of your invoice first, lest I get cheated by you."
Chu Xia foolishly handed the invoice to Su Yang."Look at it. It really was just issued to me."
Su Yang took it and didn't even look at it, directly pocketing it."I'm confiscating it. I'll keep it so I can cheat other people."
Chu Xia looked at Suo Yang incredulously."Is that even possible?"
Su Yang replied disdainfully."Why not?"
Chu Xia pointed at Su Yang and didn't say anything for a very long time.
Su Yang looked at her proudly and changed the subject."Tell me, why are you crying?" At the mention of this topic, Chu Xia sighed and her eyes dimmed. She lowered her head and pursed her lips, her two slender legs unconsciously drawing patterns on the ground."It's nothing, just being scolded by readers. I'm grieving."
She said it was nothing, but her voice was choked up a bit at that moment.
Su Yang didn't offer any advice, but instead asked, "Why did your readers scold you?"
Chu Xia continued circling the ground with her legs. The proportions of her legs were very good and well-proportioned. She didn't need to wear high heels, only wearing ordinary girls' stockings and short skirts. Walking on the street was enough to murder a bunch of eyeballs, so when she drew patterns on the ground, it was like a fairy dancing.
As Chu Xia drew patterns on the ground, she sighed, "They said that I'm slow at updating, and asked me to do more. When I popped up in the reader chat group, they shut me down and locked my account, asking me to increase the word count. Despite updating 4, 000 words every day, they still complained that it was still too little and wanted me to update 10 chapters. But... I'm writing novels, not copying novels. How can I ever work so fast."
Su Yang didn't write books himself and didn't understand the situation so he asked, "Then how do you plan to fix it?"
Chu Xia shook her head and replied helplessly, "If I knew, I wouldn't have cried. I just feel like they're right, and I do update a bit slowly. That, and I can't write right now, so I'm grieving a little."
'Uhh...
'That's hard to do. '
Su Yang initially thought that Chu Xia was thinking that the reader was doing something wrong, so he could just enlighten Chu Xia.
But now... Chu Xia wanted to solve the word count and speed issue. 'That's why this mission is a Bronze Mission!'
After all, one's inspiration and speed were limited and couldn't be increased out of thin air. It was impossible for an author like Chu Xia who had already reached her writing limit to increase it further.
It was almost an impossible task for an ordinary person to solve.
However, was Su Yang an ordinary person? Of course he isn't! For him, there was simply nothing in the world that couldn't be solved.
It just so happened that he had a suitable special item in his hand that could solve this problem. (Squid That Didn't Like To Dive] Su Yang still remembered the introduction of that special item at the time: Keep this squid in your home and you'll be bursting with inspiration to write 10 chapters a day, +10 fan cohesion effect, +10 chance of becoming a god, +10 quality of the storyline, +10 characterization, +10 writing skills, +10 brain. The other abilities being useful or not was another matter. With just that ability to write 10 chapters a day, it would be enough to solve Chu Xia's problems!
Thinking of this, Su Yang could not help but curl his lips. 'It's very simple. '
After Chu Xia told him her problems, she sat there with a sigh.
She was waiting for Su Yang's comfort, but he just sat there like a block of wood and didn't say anything
Chu Xia curiously tilted her head to look at Su Yang, only to see that he was very quiet and still. She didn't know what he was thinking about.
It was rare to have a chance to look at Su Yang up close and openly so Chu Xia couldn't help but put her thoughts to the back of her mind, holding her cheeks and tilting her head to look at the boy, or man, in front of her.
As she watched, Chu Xia's mind was slowly drifting away... The thin clouds in the sky were blocking the sunlight and casting a shade. In a trance, a breeze rose on the campus, bringing a slight, unmistakable coolness, blowing the loose hair around Chu Xia's ears as a peaceful feeling settled within her...
When did she first meet Su Yang?
It seemed to be the first day of university...
That day, she stepped into the campus of Shanghai University for the first time, bustling with new students and their parents, the misplaced parasol trees, busy teachers and instructors, seniors and juniors, and countless unfamiliar and young faces.
When they arrived at the registration desk, their parents helped them with their luggage and left to register themselves, leaving them standing there, looking at these people who might be their classmates in the future with a new sense of wonder.
At that moment, a male voice with a hint of an accent sounded behind her, "Can I help you, classmate?"
Turning back her head, behind her stood a young man dressed in simple, slightly innocent-looking clothes, with a slightly shy and enthusiastic smile on his face. As the sun shone through the shade, it illuminated his his face...
