CHAPTER 386: CHAPTER 131 WHEN THE FALSE IS TRUE, THE TRUE IS ALSO FALSE (PART 2)_2

You could say that students at Blue Star University are generally invited after being vetted. Those with questionable character or insufficient qualifications are mostly excluded by the university itself.

Du Xixi took a deep breath, saw her hovercar coming, and got in. After saying goodbye to Zhang Ye and the others through the window, she was escorted home by the Mechanical Soldiers.

But there’s one thing Du Xixi couldn’t figure out. If those invited were pre-selected by Blue Star University, why did an incident occur the first time? Those individuals clearly weren’t smart; how could they have been allowed to stay?

Could it be...

The deep breath Du Xixi took was slowly exhaled, leaving the hovercar silent, where only Du Xixi could hear her slightly quickened heartbeat.

Could it be that someone deliberately sent those spoiled brats to Du Xixi? Was it intentional for her to sift them out?

If that’s the case, Du Xixi couldn’t fathom the purpose. Was it meant to benefit her, or to incite hatred against her?

The hovercar quickly stopped. Du Xixi managed to suppress her chaotic thoughts, opened the door, and bumped into Ke Lian warmly.

"What’s wrong? You look unsettled," Ke Lian said softly, touching Du Xixi’s furrowed brow with affection, gently smoothing it out. He kissed the side of her face, asking tenderly.

Du Xixi didn’t want to bring this odd, troublesome matter home and worry Ke Lian and Ke Xing. So she just shook her head with a smile and casually changed the subject, saying, "Haven’t I not livestreamed for a long time? I wonder if the fans are still around, hopefully they didn’t just leave and go to other streamers."

Du Xixi was slightly lowering her head at the moment, making it hard for Ke Lian to see her expression. But her tone was calm, and this topic matched her usual worries perfectly. Ke Lian didn’t think much about it, holding Du Xixi as they walked inside, gently advising her in her ear, "Your fans are loyal. Even if you haven’t streamed for over a month and a half, they wouldn’t leave. Perhaps new fans will even join in."

"Moreover, you livestreamed the entire time during the Alliance Military Competition, your fans must have seen you and felt some solace from ’longing’." Ke Xing and Miao Miao were upstairs, so Ke Lian took Du Xixi to sit on the sofa and skillfully began massaging her wrist.

It’s like another skill Ke Lian has aside from leading troops against the Insect Clan. Whenever Du Xixi returns from Blue Star University, if he has time, he would always give Du Xixi a full hand massage service.

Though Du Xixi hadn’t gone for a massage during Blue Star Time, she thought Ke Lian’s skills were decent. When he retires and no longer serves as Imperial Marshal, he could support himself with this skill.

——Of course, Du Xixi would never want Ke Lian massaging other women; at most, he’d be her personal masseur. With a fortune of billions and a brother who is an Empire tycoon as a backer, Du Xixi would surely give Ke Lian a satisfying salary.

Du Xixi quickly pulled her mind back from drifting, then glanced at Ke Lian amusingly. Looking into his deep green eyes, she teasingly said, "Are you comforting me? Why do I sense a hint of jealousy in your words?"

All this talk of "loyalty" and "longing," the truth is, Du Xixi felt Ke Lian was being jealous again. She used her free hand to touch the top of Ke Lian’s head, leaned in to kiss his cheek, and with a humorous tone, whispered, "You always get jealous for no reason!"

Ke Lian looked at the beautiful face leaning close, his heart stirred. His hands didn’t completely relax from massaging Du Xixi’s delicate hand, and he freed one hand to grab Du Xixi’s other hand, pressing them both on her head, pulling her down onto the sofa.

Surrounded by a warm breath, Du Xixi’s face flushed, knowing she might have teased too much. Realizing they were still in the living room—not to mention the Mechanical Soldiers standing guard at the door and Ke Xing potentially coming down from upstairs—made Du Xixi feel anxious.
