NOVEL NEXT Chapter 195: Chen Ling Seems To Be Pursuing You
When that girl spoke, everyone couldn’t help but sit up from their beds with curiosity.
Stretching their necks, they looked just like during an exam, trying to peek at the answers on the neighboring desk.
Most people’s families had pretty average conditions…
And even if their families were well-off, they weren’t this well-off. Luo Yuxiu was an exception; her family was ridiculously wealthy too.
So, everyone wanted to take a look at what kind of clothes were worth millions in a single suitcase. They probably had never seen anything like it in their lives…
However, Sui Li’er felt somewhat at a loss and quickly closed her suitcase. There were personal clothes in there bought by the Lord God…
Mainly cartoon-themed tops!
Absolutely, absolutely, she couldn’t let anyone see!
〚 Ding~ Sui Sui emotions are unusual! -1 million points! 〛
Seeing this, Luo Yuxiu calmly said: “There’s nothing interesting to see. Everyone should go to sleep.”
“Tsk tsk… I didn’t expect Sui Sui to be so wealthy.”
The roommates in the dormitory couldn’t help but exclaim.
“No wonder, kids from wealthy families are good-looking. Tsk~”
“No… it’s not, it’s from the… Chen Ling.” Sui Li’er whispered softly. She just didn’t want to be misunderstood.
But she didn’t expect that mentioning Chen Ling’s name would instantly cause a commotion among all the girls in the room.
“Chen Ling bought it for you!?”
“Oh my god… he’s so good to you, I’m jealous!”
“Ah, it really is a world where looks matter!”
“So lucky… I wish I had a wealthy second-generation boyfriend too~”
“But a wealthy second-generation wouldn’t look twice at you. You’d have to be at least half as good-looking as Sui Sui.”
“That’s going a bit far with your words… At least I’m half as good-looking as her, right?”
“Sui Sui, how did you two get together? Tell us!”
“That’s right, who pursued whom between you two?”
“When did you become a couple?”
Sui Li’er: ????
She didn’t understand why everyone suddenly got so excited.
Gossip is everyone’s nature, regardless of gender. In the boys’ dormitory, if you said your buddy was super handsome, there wasn’t much to talk about, and people might even suspect you’re overhyping things. But if you said there’s a good-looking girl in your class, or your girlfriend is really beautiful, then you better be prepared to talk.
Sui Li’er looked a bit timidly at the people around her and said softly: “We… we’re actually not a couple…”
Although Sui Li’er felt happy to be misunderstood like this, she didn’t want to lie. The fortune teller from earlier was one thing, and she knew he was a fraud.
But these were her classmates, and if Sui Li’er unilaterally admitted to this, spreading rumors and gossip, she was afraid Chen Ling might think she was blabbing everywhere… she really didn’t want him to see her as someone who twists the truth.
Her voice wasn’t loud, but the room was small, and someone heard her.
“What did you just say? You and Chen Ling aren’t a couple?”
Everyone: ????
Not a couple? Then why were you hugging at the door just now?
“How is that possible? If you’re not a couple, why did he buy you so many clothes?”
“Oh, is he your brother then?”
“No! He’s not my brother.” Sui Li’er quickly retorted. She disliked it the most when people said she and Chen Ling were siblings.
“Then what’s your relationship?”
This really confused everyone.
“Is Chen Ling still pursuing Sui Sui?”
“Pursuing my foot. Didn’t they hug each other just now? Could they be father and daughter?”
“Whoa, hold on? Father and daughter? That’s a lot of information!”
Sui Li’er: ????
“No, no!”
Sibling was one thing, but father and daughter was just too much.
“We… we’re… in an employer-employee relationship!”
Everyone: ????
Luo Yuxiu: ????
Internally: What on earth did I just get myself into?
Female employee and male boss… this is just too much!
“Huh? Are you serious?”
“Yeah~ all these clothes are covered by my salary…”
Classmates: “How’s that possible? What do you do under him? What job is it? The salary is so high? Ask Chen Ling if he’s hiring.”
“Ask for me too. If I work under him, can I also get head pats and hugs?”
A nearby classmate paused for a moment, then mercilessly commented: “Are you looking for a job or to touch his body? Can’t you tell the difference?”
“Cough… know it but don’t say it out loud! Do you get it?”
The atmosphere immediately became lively.
The instructor was standing outside the door and hadn’t come in to interfere. They were all adults, there was no need to be so strict. They could sleep whenever they wanted to sleep. It’s not like she was their mother.
Almost everyone gathered around Sui Li’er, bombarding her with various questions, leaving her unsure which one to answer.
Seeing this, Luo Yuxiu quickly stepped in front of Sui Li’er and said helplessly: “Alright everyone, go back to sleep. Don’t be so nosy.”
“Tch~ Who goes to bed this early?”
“Sui Sui, how much is your salary?”
“Yeah, how much? What kind of work do you usually do?”
Sui Li’er thought for a moment, then raised her little hand, counting her fingers one by one. After a moment’s consideration, she softly said: “About 15…”
“15,000? That high?”
Sui Li’er paused for a moment. “Not thousand.”
“15 billion? Annual salary? That’s terrifying!”
When this statement was made, everyone’s eyes almost popped out.
15 billion?!
“Huh? No, no, it’s 15 lifetimes…”
Everyone: ????
“What on earth is 15 lifetimes?”
Sui Li’er pursed her lips and said softly: “Um… the Lord God, no! Chen Ling, said I have to work for him for the next 15 lifetimes…”
Everyone: ????
Luo Yuxiu couldn’t help but wear an auntie-like smile on her face upon hearing this.
Everyone was dumbfounded…
“What’s your usual job, keeping warm in bed?”
“Huh!? How did you know?” Sui Li’er looked surprised.
With a smile, she said, “My task is to guard his sleep~ cover him with a blanket, feed him, give him water~ and… if he’s tired, massage his shoulders and legs.”
After hearing this, the expressions on everyone’s faces were quite colorful.
Are you really foolish, or are you pretending to be foolish?
Or are you just playing with us?
Luo Yuxiu chuckled lightly and said, “Alright, everyone, go back to bed.”
“Turn off the lights and go to sleep.”
“Tch~ Boring, hick~”
Everyone decided not to ask any further. If they did, they’d explode with curiosity…
However, they had gained a preliminary understanding of Sui Sui and Chen Ling.
At the same time, many young girls’ hopes were ignited…
“By the way, Sui Sui, do you like Chen Ling?”
!!!
〚 Ding~ Sui Sui is shy! Points +1 billion!〛
“I… I, I…”
“I don’t like him!” Sui Li’er blushed and shouted.
She really didn’t want to lie, but she was even more embarrassed to openly admit she had a crush on Chen Ling!
Seeing her reaction, everyone knew she was being shy and dishonest, and laughter filled the dormitory.
Lying on the bed, they continued to chat with Sui Li’er: “Sui Sui, do you really not understand?”
Aries individuals ask when they don’t understand, straightforward and unreserved.
“What… don’t understand what?”
“Chen Ling seems to be pursuing you no matter how you look at it, right?”
Sui Li’er: ?????
“Huh?”
〚 Ding~ Sui Sui’s emotions are unusual! Points +10 billion!〛
“Really… really?”
“Of course!”
Many people said in unison.
Beside Sui Li’er, Luo Yuxiu couldn’t help but laugh: “Really, Sui Sui…”
〚 Ding~ Sui Sui has earned you another 10 billion points~〛
Chen Ling: ?????
“Who are you? Do you have a split personality or something?”
Chen Ling furrowed his brows tightly. He suspected his system had developed a split personality. Logically, a divine system should not have a personality, but this system definitely had some sort of malfunction.
However, the system didn’t answer.
Chen Ling’s gaze grew sharp, and he thought: I’ll ask Lin Moyu about it later.
Chen Ling was currently on his way to the Flame Blue Town. He was going to play with that fortune teller.
He had been observing Sui Li’er’s projection state all along, just to ensure she was safe. However, he had muted it, so he didn’t hear what they were talking about.
Actually, this worry was superfluous. In the Aries Academy dormitories, there were two Forbidden Curse Masters watching over them!
One was the Aries Star Leader Chen Tianming · currently undercover as Mi Yao.
The other was the Pisces Star Leader Mi Jiu · currently undercover as Chu Jian. These two could simply raise their hands and wipe out everyone in Flame Blue Town.
If protecting a few students took all their effort and left them powerless, Chen Ling would just kill them both and train Sui Li’er to become the Star Leader.
Wait a moment…
Chen Ling suddenly thought of something!
Damn it, this cheeky Chen Tianming, did he cross-dress to sneak into the girls’ dormitory!? He even slept in the same bed as a girl at night!?
Just at this moment, Chu Jian also suddenly reacted.
“Chen Tianming… you cross-dressed just to sneak into the girls’ dormitory, didn’t you!?”
