UNEDITED

“What’s wrong? Who were you talking to in front of Gu Company’s entrance just now? You look like you are trying to avoid her.” As Tang Xiao drove the car, she glimpsed at Su Rui through the rearview mirror and asked.

After a pause, Tang Xiao softly asked, “Upselling Mate X?”

“Pfft…” Su Rui was amused at Tang Xiao’s words.

See, she wasn’t the only one who felt that Bai Xin Yu’s appearance was odd.

“Upselling Mate X, your imagination is so rich.” Leisurely glancing at Tang Xiao, Su Rui added, “That was your idol just now.”

“My idol? Who?”

“That Siria that you are super into.”

“Siria! Xin Yu Jie?” When Tang Xiao heard what Su Rui had said, her eyes widened, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I could have gone to her and gotten an autograph.”

As she said that, she sensed that the atmosphere wasn’t right. Tang Xiao quick-wittedly stopped herself.

“Ahahaha. I just said it casually. Oh no, I was just joking.” Tang Xiao embarrassedly smiled and said.

It was just a joke. At most, she can be considered to know that Bai Xin Yu is a singer and a fan who is somewhat familiar with her. She usually pays attention to her news, listens to her musical works, and she isn’t a brain-dead fan.

Moreover, after that last staged incident^[1], she has changed from a fan to a ‘passerby^[2]’ already.

“But”, said Tang Xiao. She frowned and asked, “why is she looking for you here? What does she want from you? To ask you to leave Gu Yu Cheng? To let them be blissful? To let them be free?”

“Haha. Tang Xiao Niu, it’s such a waste that you are not writing a book.”

Su Rui smiled and explained, “She didn’t come here to find me. She went to the Gu Company’s ground floor to probably look for Gu Yu Cheng.”

“Then, you aren’t anxious?”

“What should I be anxious for? Anxious about her meeting with Gu Yu Cheng?” Su Rui smiled indifferently and asked.

Alright, she admitted that, before she met Siria, there was a small tinge of nervousness in Su Rui’s heart about the existence of such a person.

But today, when she really saw Bai Xin Yu in person, she wasn’t nervous.

She felt that there wasn’t any possibility of instant attraction between Gu Yu Cheng and Bai Xin Yu.

Why?

Oh, a woman’s sixth sense.

And, does she think that Gu Company’s security guards and guarded entrance are so plastic? It would be surprising if Bai Xin Yu that was dressed as a “suspicious person” could get into Gu Company and meet Gu Yu Cheng.

How easy was it to guard a tree-stump and wait for rabbits^[3]? In her previous life, there have been many people who went to squat in front of the company of Daddy^[4] top millionaire and beg for them to be their koi^[5].

“That’s true.” Tang Xiao nodded as she listened to Su Rui’s words.

“Okay, let’s not talk about it. Let me ask you.” The scene suddenly changed. Tang Xiao looked towards Su Rui with a creepy smile and asked curiously, “Have you worn that very sexy little dress we bought previously and shown your Chairman Gu?”

When she heard Tang Xiao’s question, the expression on Su Rui’s face instantly became very subtle.

Yes, Tang Xiao was talking about the black lace dress they saw the last time they went shopping.

Su Rui didn’t know if her brain became paste at that time because she was a little tempted by Tang Xiao, and then she bought the dress after a round of shopping.

When she brought it back, Su Rui simply couldn’t bear to look at it, so she placed it at the bottom of her closet.

If Tang Xiao hadn’t mentioned it, Su Rui almost consciously forgot that dress.

“No,” Su Rui rolled her eyes towards Tang Xiao and said unhappily, “I have let you down.”

“Yes, I’m slightly disappointed.” Tang Xiao said very regretfully and let out a sigh.

“So when are you going to wear it? How about Christmas Eve?”

Su Rui: I don’t have any plans on doing that.

Su Rui was about to respond to her, but she heard Tang Xiao asked, “Su Rui, you and your family Chairman Gu, ahem, I mean are both of you together yet?”

“Uh, I meant have you spent the night together?”

Listening to Tang Xiao becoming more ambiguous, Su Rui no longer wanted to answer her question.

Su Rui felt that she was at least a theoretical emperor when she was listening to the aunties in the hospital ward previously. However, when she heard Tang Xiao said that, her “old” face flushed uncontrollably.

“No, no, drive your car properly. Don’t bump into another car again!” Su Rui glanced at Tang Xiao and reminded her.

“Don’t worry. I’m a good driver. I wouldn’t have bumped into the car last time if that blockhead^[6] hit me!”

“I’m speaking the truth.” As they skipped over the topic just now, Tang Xiao didn’t let Su Rui off and asked again very earnestly, “Aren’t you going to move out with your Chairman Gu?”

After all, these two are now genuinely past the boyfriend and girlfriend stage. It is normal to live together, right?

“Does this question concern you?”

“Of course! It concerns me a little.” After saying that, Tang Xiao righteously added, “Whether or not you and Chairman Gu start living together is directly related to whether I have someone to go shopping with and eat supper at the university’s entrance!”

“Wouldn’t it be better if I continue to live in school then?” Su Rui said leisurely.

“That’s true, but I can’t cause a delay to the happiness of Chairman Gu and yours, right?”

“Really; When are you guys going to live together?”

“Not considering it at the moment.” Su Rui said as she rolled her eyes. She added, “Regardless of the case, it is only after this semester where I have to live in school, right?”

“No need. I thought you were about to do an internship. Hehe.”

Su Rui has no face to see Tang Xiao’s dirty little expression of “you know that”. She decided to put this plastic best friend temporarily into the blacklist.

The author has something to say:

1.The original female lead is reborn. The rough story of the original novel is the original female lead was remorseful towards the original male lead in her previous life. Then, after her rebirth, she was hoping that she would be reunited with the original male lead. Of course, in the original novel, the male lead did not love the original female lead. I will explain if I have the opportunity later.

There isn’t much content of the original female lead, and she wouldn’t be hopping^[7] about for long. Overall, it is only a few strokes, and I didn’t write much about it. So I hope you’ll bear with me if there are any bugs.~

2.Hahaha. This chapter is a fake title for now. But I think Tang Xiao Niu is right~ Shouldn’t we take advantage of the internship to arrange it? Hahaha~

Thank you all so much for your support. I’ll do my best!

^[1] 碰瓷(pèngcí)-Staged act/to scam somebody by setting up an “accident” in which one appears to have sustained damage or injury caused by the scam victim, then demanding compensation. The variation of these incidents include putting “expensive” porcelain in place where it is likely to be knocked over by passers-by, and stepping into the path of a slow-moving car. Thus, it sort of relates to its literal translation of the words ‘touching or bumping(碰) porcelain(瓷)’.

^[2] 路人好感(lùrén hǎogǎn)- Someone who is not a fan of a celebrity but has favourable impression of him/her. The literal translation would mean ‘passer-by’s favourable impression’.

^[3] 守株待兔(shǒuzhūdàitù)- to guard a tree-stump and wait for rabbits is an idiom that means to wait idly for opportunities or to put trust to a chance rather than show initiative.

^[4] 爸爸(bàba)- Father. The word “calling father/daddy/papa” has become a buzzword on the Internet. It would also contain symbols of kneeling and worship that were unique to the Internet slang. It means admiring and pleasing those powerful and talented people.

^[5] 锦鲤(jǐnlǐ)- Koi. It would mean good luck.

^[6] 棒槌(bàngchuí)- blockhead. Literal meaning is wooden club used to beat clothes in washing. The meaning of this phrase is to scold someone as stupid or have a slow reaction.

^[7] 蹦跶(bèngda)- hop/bounce. It would mean to struggle and have a good future.

Translator’s note: Haha, yes, I bet the title has tricked everyone. To be honest, it is the same for me as well. After reading and translating this chapter, I have mixed feelings. I wonder if all the rebirth novels I have read were like what Siria had thought. This is especially those novels that were “I have let [male lead] down. In this life, I will treat him better.” I hope not. I seriously liked those novels.

Anyway, thank you for reading, everyone. Have a good day ahead!
