NOVEL NEXT Chapter 75 - White Lotus
Chapter 75: White Lotus
Xiang Yi froze for a few seconds and then batted her long and thick lashes. “Sorry,” she whispered.
She stepped back slightly, maintaining her distance with her fourth brother, Xiang Yu—or Smog, the longtime sitting legend from the esports scene.
It was obviously the fault of that person who had been occupying her body last year, yet she had to bear the consequences.
She had already mentally prepared for this, but when she was face to face with her cold and uninviting brother, she still felt slightly wronged and dismayed.
Xiang Yu frowned slightly, glancing over at Xiang Yi quickly before retracting his gaze. The corners of his lips twitched mockingly.
Are you going to start acting like before?
He used to trust her so much, yet she….
Thinking of the things she had done, the short-tempered Xiang Yu felt even more irritable as he sped up his pace and headed into the villa.
From the beginning to end, he didn’t spare another look at Xiang Yi.
The live comments began to gloat.
—[The Vase Fairy’s trainwreck is here!]
—[I’ve discovered the Vase Fairy’s appetite is quite big: a Shi Yingdi is not enough to satisfy her, she’s trying to seduce Smog!]
—[Simao brother*, good job! The best kind of treatment for this kind of woman is to just ignore her!]
—[The one who called him Simao brother, are you a monster? How can you pronounce such a cultured name like Smog in such a tacky manner!]
—[Hahaha I can’t my stomach hurts from laughing at the name “Simao Brother”]
“Xiang Yi, are you okay?” the soft voice came from Bai Ruoruo. She tucked her hair down and said, “Smog surely didn’t mean to treat you that way. It’s probably because the weather is too hot and he is in a bad mood.”
Nancheng in May is not and probably will not ever get very hot.
Bai Ruoruo’s words appeared to be of comfort, but when processed carefully there was evidently something wrong.
—[The moment she opened her mouth, you can tell she’s a strange personality]
—[What a pretty lady, but I don’t recognize her face]
—[I think she’s a newly signed artist with Xing Chen entertainment. Probably one of the artists Shi Yingdi is helping to curate]
—[This voice is so obviously a White Lotus. Oh no, I’m starting to get excited, I really want to see the Vase Fairy be abused by the White Lotus!]
Xiang Yi politely greeted: “Hello, I’m Xiang Yi. This way please.”
Bai Ruoruo carefully observed her expression only to find that Xiang Yi was truly not showing a hint of anger.
Seeing that Xiao Yang was also watching the stream, Bai Ruoruo wanted to irritate Xiang Yi and make her go mad like a shrew on stream. Inadvertently, she said, “Sister Xiang Yi, do you not remember me? We met last time.”
Xiang Yi responded casually, “Really?”
Bai Ruoruo smiled gently and coyly, coming in with the final attack. “Brother Xiao Yang sends his regards.”
Xiao Yang, who was watching the stream, immediately sat up straight.
He was watching the stream for two days now, and he genuinely felt that Xiang Yi was a changed person.
She was inexplicably… very attractive.
But at the same time, Xiao Yang was disappointed. She can cook so well, yet why had she never bothered to boil even a pot of water for him?
Although he and Xiang Yi had ended things, he still looked forward to the scenes of Xiang Yi fighting over him and getting jealous.
For the sake of her pretty face and cooking skills, it would be okay to play with her once in a while…
Xiao Yang continued to be immersed in his own fantasy until an unexpected basin of cold water was splashed in his face—
“Xiao Yang?” Xiang Yi was confused. “Who?”
Bai Ruoruo: …!!
Xiao Yang: …???
He stared at the screen in disbelief. Damn it, was this woman pretending not to know him?!
Bai Ruoruo felt that this woman was acting too high and mighty. This was so unusual; she had to get serious too!
