CHAPTER 175: CHAPTER 39: SELF-CONTROL AND BOUNDARY OVERSTEPPING, RONG XIYI ALMOST LOSING CONTROL

Rong Xiyi always thought that she met Xu Lin first, and she had wanted to develop a relationship with him before.

Growing up, this was also the first time she had a crush on a guy.

But then out of nowhere came Ning Yuhuan.

In Rong Xiyi’s eyes, Ning Yuhuan was just a scheming girl.

Seeing Xu Lin and Ning Yuhuan being all lovey-dovey, she felt a mix of sadness and jealousy.

Ultimately, these emotions intertwined and weighed on her heart.

Rong Xiyi just felt irritable.

Back in the dormitory, Rong Xiyi took a shower and then picked up her phone to message Xia Xiyao.

"Yaoyao, I’m a bit upset!"

"Why?"

Xia Xiyao asked on the other side.

Rong Xiyi thought for a moment and ended up telling Xia Xiyao briefly about the night’s events.

Xia Xiyao: "Didn’t you say you weren’t into Xu Lin?"

"I was there first, and then a woman came out of nowhere. That jerk always pisses me off..."

Rong Xiyi complained to Xia Xiyao about Xu Lin.

But it wasn’t like how other girls complain to their besties about their boyfriends or husbands. Rong Xiyi just called him a jerk.

Xia Xiyao: "So what are you going to do? Snatch him back from that girl?"

"I don’t want to!"

"Then what else can you do?"

"I don’t know. I’m just a bit confused and feel like my irritable mood has nowhere to go."

Rong Xiyi chatted with Xia Xiyao for a while, and the latter comforted her, making her feel much better.

Negative emotions need an outlet, or they’d just build up inside. After talking to Xia Xiyao, Rong Xiyi finally felt relieved.

Afterward, she opened a game.

She sent Xu Lin a message: "Xu Lin, I want to play a game."

Xu Lin: "I’m busy today."

Rong Xiyi: "Can’t you just play with me a little?"

Xu Lin: "You want to carry the team again, don’t you?"

Rong Xiyi: "That’s not what I meant..."

Rong Xiyi: "Forget it, I won’t play."

Rong Xiyi sat on the bed. Xia Xiyao was busy with something else and couldn’t play with her, so Rong Xiyi ended up gaming alone. After a couple of rounds, she was bored. By the third game, she was halfway through and didn’t feel like playing anymore.

With nothing else to do, she sent Xu Lin another message.

"What are you doing?"

But Xu Lin didn’t reply, as he was typing and wouldn’t check his phone at such times.

Rong Xiyi felt even lonelier.

The dorm was filled with laughter — Zhao Fangfei and Liu Wange were chatting, while Li Sinan was applying a face mask.

Rong Xiyi didn’t quite fit into this little group, even though, of course, they communicated.

Just then, Rong Xiyi thought of something. She took off her pants, leaving her in just her underwear, and snapped a picture of her long beautiful legs to send to Xu Lin.

Rong Xiyi was confident about her legs; they were definitely gorgeous.

However, Xu Lin didn’t reply immediately.

Rong Xiyi waited half an hour before Xu Lin finally replied.

Xu Lin sent three sticker emojis expressing "lust."

Seeing Xu Lin reveal his true colors, Rong Xiyi sent back a "middle finger" sticker emoji

Rong Xiyi: "Haha!"

Xu Lin: "I love it, send more!"

Rong Xiyi: "Wishful thinking!"

But Rong Xiyi was relieved, as Xu Lin had been cursing her earlier, and she was quite scared at the time, worrying that Xu Lin might ignore her in the future.

So a few seconds later, Rong Xiyi sent another picture of her beautiful legs to Xu Lin.

Xu Lin: "Looks great! Lust.jpg×10"

On the other side, Xu Lin had just finished typing. After replying to Rong Xiyi, he opened up the previous eight payment notifications.

There were eight transfers in total, each 50,000, adding up to 400,000.

Who sends money for no reason?

Xu Lin glanced at the sender and remembered it was from Wu Chengfeng.

He then opened a small account.

Upon checking the messages, it turned out it was indeed his transfer.

Wu Chengfeng had received the manuscript fees today, and after taxes, it came to over 800,000. Wu Chengfeng directly transferred over half of it.

Daily Settlement: "That’s quite a big move!"

Getting 800,000 in manuscript fees and sending over 400,000 just like that — this kind of action indeed isn’t a simple cut.

Without any binding contract, Wu Chengfeng sent over half of the manuscript fees.

This Wu Chengfeng is someone you can deal with!

Wu Chengfeng: "Thanks to your great support, Master! Without you, I wouldn’t be here today! Sunglasses.jpg"

Daily Settlement: "No worries, if you want to transfer money in the future, no need to send so much. Just a token is enough."

For sincere people, Xu Lin always gives preferential treatment.

Wu Chengfeng’s action and boldness must be what the ancients called the demeanor of a gentleman.

Xu Lin felt quite touched.

This was akin to a disciple becoming successful outside, yet still not forgetting to bring some gifts back for the master, especially when there was no contractual obligation, so any returns were purely based on conscience and character.

Wu Chengfeng: "I still have to thank you, Master. Now that I’ve reached this point, the future won’t be bad!"

Daily Settlement: "If you have any issues later, just send them to me. I’ll handle it when I’m online."

Wu Chengfeng: "Thank you, Master! Sunglasses.jpg Crying.jog"

[Wealth: 1,534,065.68 yuan.]

At this moment, Xu Lin’s savings reached over 1.53 million!

With money in hand, Xu Lin had a sudden impulse, and since he was already renting a place, the apartment was empty.

Those living essentials can be bought directly at the supermarket tomorrow.

Xu Lin was buying electronic products.

Recently, GTA6 was released, initially exclusive to PS5. Xu Lin wanted to play this game, so he needed a PS5, and there was a big TV in the apartment — an 85-inch Sony. All he needed was a PS5 and the game discs. The computer console would be set up in the second-floor room, and tomorrow he could find someone offline to install it. If ordered online, it would need to be set up himself, which would take several hours and be troublesome, but he could buy the monitor first.
