Cohabitation With The Maniacally Gorgeous CEO - Chapter 13
Chapter 13
Eighteen minutes later, the game ended.
An Yiqing was the MVP.
She had the most kills, and most importantly, zero deaths.
Yu Sirou exclaimed, “No wonder Xiao Qian can’t play without you.”
“Miss Xu healed well,” An Yiqing said truthfully.
She often got MVP, but zero deaths was a first.
Xu Lingyin was an incredibly powerful Medical Immortal, saving the dying and aiding the wounded was a breeze for her.
As a master of impartiality, Yu Sirou showered both of them with compliments.
“Be Yu Yu’s Dog” urged them to start the next round: “Yu Yu, stop being so happy, the new little sister is so good, you won’t be able to hold onto your ‘wife’.”
An Yiqing: ?
Who was the ‘wife’? She was just playing a game.
Xu Lingyin started the next round, laughing and scolding, “Zuo Xun, can you stop rambling? You were at the bottom last match.”
Zuo Xun was “Be Yu Yu’s Dog.” She chuckled sarcastically: “Alright, alright, with a little sister around, you’re abandoning us, Yu Yu. You followed the Fish the whole last game; we were all just air. I accept my fate; we’ll rely on ourselves this game. Don’t worry, I’ll be strong.”
The four people giggled and entered the game.
An Yiqing lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and controlled the Little Fish Fairy, not participating in their chat.
This time, she spawned with two enemy players.
Unfortunately, Xu Lingyin was not around.
The opposing side had a Strength-type Sword Cultivator and a Support.
The three characters stood in place, looking at each other.
A speech bubble appeared above the Sword Cultivator’s head.
Foes on a narrow road hahaha
The Support followed with a line, then asked: Little Fish Fairy, are you touched?
An Yiqing dared not move. (A play on words, as “敢動” (gÇŽndòng – dare to move) sounds similar to (gÇŽndòng – touched/moved)).
The person next to her leaned over to look at her screen and instructed: “You stand still, and I’ll fly over to save you as soon as I get the green leaf.”
With that, Xu Lingyin directed Zuo Xun to kill monsters.
This woman was sitting very close, ready to check on her status at any time.
An Yiqing moved slightly to the side, increasing the distance between them.
The invincibility time decreased second by second.
Through Xu Lingyin’s communication, they killed a few monsters, but no green leaf dropped.
There was no time left.
An Yiqing proactively disabled the invincibility buff.
The enemy Support immediately auto-attacked her.
An Yiqing also auto-attacked the Support from afar.
The Support immediately retreated, healing herself while running away.
The damage An Yiqing dealt to her was like a tickle.
The Support ran ahead, and An Yiqing chased after her.
Her speed was very slow, as if she couldn’t run fast.
The Support took the opportunity to type a taunt.
The Sword Cultivator prepared and charged at her face for a close-range ultimate.
An Yiqing stopped her steps, watched the Support get farther away, and decisively flung all her skills onto the Sword Cultivator. After casting, she turned and ran back.
The sound of “First Kill” rang across the map.
The chat window was filled with question marks.
In this round of the game, An Yiqing also had zero deaths.
Zuo Xun never again said she relied on Xu Lingyin.
Because in this round, An Yiqing mostly walked alone.
After two hours, the game session ended.
An Yiqing’s neck was a little sore.
Putting down her phone, she looked up and found Xu Lingyin was sitting close to her again.
She immediately moved to the side.
Unbeknownst to her, she was already sitting on the edge of the sofa, with no room left to move.
She shrugged her shoulders, able only to twist her upper body away from Xu Lingyin.
“Miss Xu, is there anything else?” she asked politely.
Xu Lingyin stared into her eyes, her gaze very direct.
Her eyes were probing, and she looked particularly displeased: “An Yiqing, what do you mean by that?”
An Yiqing raised her eyelids, wanting to say she meant nothing.
Feeling like she was being argumentative, she thought for a moment and changed her response.
“What is Miss Xu referring to?”
Xu Lingyin sneered, stood up from the sofa, fiddled with her phone for a few taps, and then turned on the living room’s giant screen.
It played a recording of their game.
When they were in the middle of the game just now, she might not have realized anything was amiss.
Played on the giant screen, every action of the Little Fish Fairy was incredibly clear.
Starting from the second round, whenever the Medical Immortal got close to the Little Fish Fairy, no matter how critical the situation was, the Little Fish Fairy immediately created distance.
Several times, the Little Fish Fairy was on the brink of death, and the Medical Immortal wanted to heal her.
After taking a few steps, she ran behind the mountain to eat a potion herself, nearly getting finished off by the enemy.
Xu Lingyin pressed pause and turned to look over: “You avoid your teammate when you’re almost dead, then rush the enemy’s face. Explain, what does this mean?”
“I apologize, I didn’t realize you were close by,” An Yiqing raised her hand and rubbed her neck.
Xu Lingyin switched to a few more clips.
“What about these?” she scoffed, “Have you thought of an excuse?”
She hadn’t.
An Yiqing twitched her mouth, remaining silent.
Xu Lingyin turned off the screen, put down her phone, grabbed two bottles of alcohol from the fridge, and walked towards the balcony.
“Miss Xu, the doctor said you shouldn’t drink alcohol.” Walking out to the balcony with her, An Yiqing kindly reminded her.
Xu Lingyin opened a bottle, took a swig, and turned to look out the window: “Does that concern you?”
An Yiqing’s mouth, which was about to speak, snapped shut.
It didn’t concern her, not at all.
Ultimately, they were just roommates with no significant relationship.
Acknowledging the fact, An Yiqing lowered her head.
The person in front of her quickly finished one bottle.
The can was tossed onto the small round table, and she opened another.
An Yiqing thought, surely Yu Sirou, who has a relationship with her, can manage her?
Taking out her phone, she said, “I’ll help you contact Miss Yu.”
A cold glare shot over, and Xu Lingyin said coldly, “Try making that call?”
“Miss Yu must also be very concerned about you. Is she also not entitled to manage you?” An Yiqing met her gaze.
“Why should she be entitled?” Xu Lingyin countered.
An Yiqing was getting a little hot-headed: “You two are not…”
She forced herself to shut up.
It was private, and she shouldn’t ask.
“Not what? Girlfriends? Partners? Or something else?” Xu Lingyin shed the cold look, a smile that was hard to decipher hanging on her lips.
She got up and walked over, staring intently at An Yiqing, just as before: “So, you’re avoiding me because of Zuo Xun’s teasing remark about Yu Sirou?”
Since she’s already in a relationship with someone else, of course, I should consciously keep my distance. Otherwise, wouldn’t I become what everyone scolds?
With this thought, An Yiqing felt a hint of bitterness in her heart. This feeling came out of nowhere. She took the opportunity to grab the two bottles of alcohol and escaped from Xu Lingyin’s line of sight.
Placing the alcohol in the kitchen, she washed her hands with cold water. Only after calming down a little did she return to the living room and explain: “If Miss Zuo’s words were true, wasn’t what I did correct?”
“I said it was teasing,” Xu Lingyin said, “An Yiqing, can you stop making baseless assumptions about others?”
An Yiqing wasn’t making baseless assumptions.
After Zuo Xun said those words, after the second round, she quietly clicked on Xu Lingyin’s profile.
Xu Lingyin and Yu Sirou were bound in a Taoist Companion relationship (a relationship status in the game).
Moreover, when renting the apartment earlier, it was Yu Sirou who signed the contract.
No matter how good their relationship was, people generally wouldn’t do that, would they?
Who would believe they weren’t in a special relationship?
Her conjecture was reasonable.
Xu Lingyin dismissing it with one sentence when explaining, didn’t that make it even more suspicious?
“An Yiqing, did you hear me?” Xu Lingyin asked.
An Yiqing nodded and said, “I heard you.”
After speaking, she went into her room.
…
At dinner time, Xu Lingyin had to attend a cocktail party.
She sat bored in a corner playing on her phone, giving only simple replies to people who came over to greet her.
It wasn’t until Yu Sirou came over that Xu Lingyin stood up, intending to go over, but upon seeing the man beside her, the smile on her face disappeared, and she sat back down, burying her head in her phone.
Yu Sirou and the man came over together.
Yu Sirou sat down next to her and nudged her arm: “Dad will just say hello and leave.”
Xu Lingyin looked up at the man: “Dad.”
Her voice was as cold as the snow on Mount Kunlun.
“Ah Yin, you’re here to enjoy yourself, try to be a little happier,” Xu Zhiyuan smiled elegantly, “I heard you found a new friend recently. Didn’t you bring her to the party?”
Xu Lingyin looked at him coldly: “Don’t look for her.”
“Why would I look for her? You two just enjoy yourselves. I’m leaving.”
After he left, he truly never came back.
“Ah Yin, you guys…”
Yu Sirou was interrupted by Xu Lingyin pulling her closer.
“Yu Sirou, don’t talk about him,” she curled her lips, “I’m asking you, if a person cares about your relationship with someone else, what does that mean?”
Yu Sirou looked confused: “What kind of relationship?”
“A romantic partner relationship,” Xu Lingyin said.
Yu Sirou laughed: “Who wants to chase you now?”
