Chapter 2051: Chapter 1662: Xiyu’s Decision (Double-Length) (Part 2)

Banana jumped down from the tower and came to Su Ran’s side, filled with amazement at the changes in this woman’s emotions he had witnessed: from initial anger to crying, and now laughing. Isn’t this change too fast; he curiously asked, “What exactly did you give her? This magic potion is too effective, right?”

“…”

At this moment, Su Ran had no mood left to deal with Banana; his mind was entirely occupied by Xi Yu’s words. If entangled by this woman, it wouldn’t be a good thing. How was he supposed to explain this to Yu Qing?

He couldn’t possibly say that to protect his territory, he sacrificed his reputation, and that’s how he subdued Xi Yu. Even he didn’t believe such words, but Yu Qing is different; even if he doesn’t say it, she may inevitably think in that direction, making things more complicated.

However, regardless of what Sister Ting thinks, Su Ran has to explain everything to Yu Qing clearly. This was Sister Ting’s retaliatory tactic, and he must remain vigilant. He definitely cannot let it affect their relationship; it must be nipped in the bud!

The third party turning out to be her elder sister, a plot usually found in TV dramas, actually happened…

“They’ve left.”

After the group of players retreated from Demonic Treasure Mountain, Xue Wu Qing jumped down from the tower, looked at Su Ran with meaningful intent, and asked, “Did something happen between you and President Xi Yu?”

“Oh, now I understand!”

Prompted by Xue Wu Qing’s reminder, Banana had a sudden realization and spoke ahead of Su Ran, “Am I supposed to call President Xi Yu sister-in-law from now on? Right, right?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

Su Ran’s face changed immediately, denying repeatedly, “She’s a high and mighty president; we’re not on the same level at all. From now on, don’t ever say such things, got it?”

“Tsk, big brother, you are too unkind; even big sister-in-law has admitted already, and here you are still keeping it from us, that’s too much!”

“What? She admitted? How do you know?”

Su Ran was dumbfounded by Banana’s words and instinctively asked.

“Check the world channel yourself; it’s all confirmed!”

“…”

Su Ran felt things were going overboard, immediately opened the world channel, only to find that everyone was talking about his affair with Xi Yu.

“I was just wondering why President Xi Yu broke up with Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, turns out the young couple was having a tiff, got us expecting nothing!”

“Don’t say that, the two are quite a match. The only one suited for President Xi Yu is probably the deity Spilt Water; I’m rooting for them. A golden boy and a jade girl, how enviable!”

“…”

Seeing this, Su Ran felt a headache; the matter of President Xi Yu leading troops to attack his territory had become a widespread rumor. The world channel was filled with discussions on this, but he wasn’t looking for these; he wanted to see the specific words Xi Yu personally admitted to, checking if there was a misunderstanding.

As Su Ran kept scrolling, he finally found the statement made by Xi Yu.

“Stop arguing! Spilt Water is my man; if anyone dares to say anything bad about Spilt Water, I, Xi Yu, will never forgive them!”

Uh.

With this, Su Ran’s expression turned quite complicated, mixed with a slight touch of sentiment.

Sister Ting, oh Sister Ting, why are you doing this?

You’ve left no room for a way back!

“Brother Spilt Water, do you have anything more to say now? Even sister-in-law has admitted it, and yet you’re still keeping it under wraps, is this any way to be a man?”

Seeing Su Ran was in a daze, Banana jokingly teased him to see how he’d explain.

However.

What Banana didn’t expect was that Su Ran didn’t have any intention to explain and disconnected immediately without saying a word.

“Wow, when did brother Spilt Water become so shameless, going offline without saying a word?”

Banana grumbled irritably, “I’ll make sure to get the truth out of him when he comes back online!”

“I feel this is just Xi Yu’s wish; I don’t sense much joy from Spilt Water. He probably went offline to confront her.”

Qing Qi spoke a fair point for Su Ran, a guess close to the truth.

“Oh come on, according to you, brother Spilt Water has high standards; to even look down on a competent and beautiful woman like President Xi Yu, this is too picky, isn’t it?”

Banana couldn’t believe that female players surpassing President Xi Yu were as rare as phoenix feathers, to still not catch his interest. Could brother Spilt Water have psychological issues?

“Why analyze so much; it’s none of your business. Go dig those graves, a thousand Infinite Money bushes, enough for a year!’ ”

Xue Wu Qing did not expect Banana to be so gossipy, tired of arguing with him, dragged Qing Qi outside, “Come, accompany me to do a task; let him stay here by himself!”

…

After logging off, Su Ran dialed Yu Qing’s phone; his mood was inexplicably more irritable.

“Hello, Soda Water, I’m in class. If anything, chat on WeChat!”

Lin Yuqing’s faint voice came over the phone, and she hung up immediately.

Cough cough, that was rash.

Su Ran was so focused on this matter that he overlooked Yu Qing’s schedule; as a senior, her course load is intense. Hopefully, the ringtone earlier didn’t affect her…

“Was your phone confiscated?”

“Do you know how to ask? Luckily, this session is a study period; any more teachers catching me, and if they call my parents, my sister won’t likely be able to help me…”

Lin Yuqing’s response was quick, suggesting the teacher wasn’t around at the moment.

“Forgot you were in class, good thing nothing happened. Yu Qing, hasn’t your sister calmed down yet?”

Su Ran felt he’d asked a redundant question; if she had, she wouldn’t have led an army to surround his territory.

“Yes, she hasn’t even tidied the table, locked herself in her bedroom, no clue what she’s doing. Most likely in the game; you should be careful, once she’s provoked, my sister could do anything.”

Lin Yuqing understood her sister’s temperament well, directly addressing the crux.

“Indeed, she managed to do something quite astonishing; I’m impressed.”

“What did my sister do? She didn’t cause any trouble for you, did she?”

“Here’s how it went…”

Su Ran finally found a place to vent and recapped the whole ordeal, especially highlighting the world channel statement.

“…”

After waiting a long time, Su Ran still didn’t receive any response from Lin Yuqing, which left him puzzled; he dared not call again to inquire, opting to patiently await her class’s end, forty-five minutes would pass soon enough.

Su Ran chose not to wait any longer, leaving the bedroom to replenish his nutrient solution to avoid any after-effects.

“Little Ran, why logged off so early today? Did the sun rise from the west?”

Su Ran’s presence at this hour felt unusual for his mother, who was surprised, “Did you and your classmates not have enough to eat; should I heat up some food for you?”

“Mum, just relax; the game is updating and should be done in a while.”

Su Ran casually made up a reason, heading towards another bedroom where the nutrient solutions were stored, intending to play with Little Black.

“Game updating? No wonder. Oh right, I have something to tell you.”

Su Ran’s mother remembered something and called him back, “Wan’er called me.”

“Sister Wan’er? Why did she call you?”

Su Ran was momentarily stunned, questioning; having just declined Sister Wan’er yesterday, to call his mom today, what’s going on?

Could it be…

She was seeking redress from his mom?

“I also wondered about it; this girl suddenly turned very enthusiastic, showing concern for me, I found it hard to handle. Little Ran, what’s going on?”

Su Ran’s mother eyed him suspiciously, asking in a questioning tone, “Did you do something you shouldn’t have during your last visit to Changshi?”

“How could that be! Mom, you’ve got quite the imagination, Sister Wan’er is so familiar with us; it’s normal to call.”

“Then why is she inquiring about our current location? She’s not coming to settle scores, is she?”

“Did you tell her?”

“Is there any need to hide it?”

“…”
