His little kitten, Xiao Naimao, certainly wasn’t muddled when it ca to things like this; she always kept them in mind.
"You’ve helped her so much. The villa can’t be insignificant."
Besides, considering the terms Si Wen had offered, it would be a kindness for Xue Yang to accept, but perfectly reasonable for him to refuse. If he accepted, it would be worth more than just the price of a villa. She knew he was only considering her feelings and didn’t want to take advantage of Si Wen.
Seeing Lin Xi’s protective expression, Xue Yang chuckled softly. "She’s your best friend. Taking a small loss doesn’t matter."
Although she ostensibly had seven best friends, Lin Xi was only truly close with Si Wen. As her boyfriend, Xue Yang didn’t feel like helping out was a loss at all. However, he was still very happy that Lin Xi thought this way. It was just a pity he could see her but not touch her. Otherwise, he would have definitely pulled her into a tight embrace. His Xiao Naimao was just so endearing.
Lin Xi waved her little fists. "So what if she’s my best friend? Even blood brothers settle accounts clearly. You don’t have to worry about this. I’ll handle it."
It was fine for her to take a small loss, but she couldn’t bear to see Xue Yang suffer at all. What was rightfully his, was his. If he was too embarrassed to ask for it, she would get it back for him. Yep, that was the plan.
After chatting about work for a while longer, Lin Xi looked at Xue Yang’s increasingly handso face and was once again struck by the fear of losing him.
"Honestly, has anyone been deliberately getting close to you recently?"
Maybe I shouldn’t have taken him to get this haircut...
Xue Yang thought for a mont and said earnestly, "Yes. Especially today, there were quite a few people."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi instantly grew anxious. "What? A lot of people!"
She had already changed into a pink nightdress and was half-lying on the bed while chatting with Xue Yang. In her excitent, the neckline slipped off her smooth shoulder, revealing a substantial amount of her pale... She herself was oblivious, all her thoughts fixated on what Xue Yang had just said.
Xue Yang’s breathing hitched. He suddenly felt that teasing Lin Xi under these circumstances was a massive test for him, and he quickly averted his eyes.
"Did you give them your contact info? No, wait, you’re not allowed to give them your contact info!"
Seeing his Xiao Naimao getting worked up, Xue Yang stopped teasing her and told her the truth. "The school had its sports et today. Since we were all wearing our class uniforms, the class leader organized a group photo. Afterward, a few other girls asked to take so pictures with ."
Lin Xi pouted. "Don’t they have their own boyfriends? Why do they want to take pictures with soone else’s boyfriend! So annoying."
"It was just a few photos. Don’t overthink it." Xue Yang was confident that even if those people took photos with him now, they would one day co to regret it.
The two continued their tender conversation over the phone for so ti. Thinking of Lin Xi’s upcoming college entrance exams, they reluctantly ended the call around midnight.
...
「The next day was another exciting one.」
Of course, it was only exciting for so people. The rest carried on as usual, simply not having the ti to watch the sports et. Take the team at the studio, for instance. Since there were no classes because of the sports et, they had plenty of free ti. Furthermore, the weekend was right after the event, which ant they could work for several days uninterrupted. The team huddled in the studio all day, rolling out a new update for the ga.
"Boss, players have been complaining that our skins are too expensive lately. Do you think we should lower the prices?" Yu Kexin said, relaying the feedback she had collected from the backend and asking Xue Yang what their next move should be.
"Let’s run a prize draw event," Xue Yang suggested. "Make it chance-based and get those influencers to participate. There will always be a few lucky ones who’ll get the skins they want after just a few tries."
Hearing this, Yu Kexin imdiately understood. "Boss, you’re a genius."
A prize draw seems to be based on luck, but it’s just like buying a lottery ticket; you never know if you’ll win the next ti. People have that gambler’s mindset. They don’t believe they’re the unluckiest one, so they’ll keep trying until they win. In that sense, while it looks like a price drop, it really isn’t. Where does the boss get all these incredible ideas?
"I’ll go work on the code for the prize draw right now."
As she spoke, Yu Kexin was about to sit back down when Cui Hao walked in from outside.
"Kexin, no matter what, you have to help tonight."
"I really don’t have ti. Ask Boss Xue to help you; he should be free."
"He has to deal with the sports et, interviews, and manage the apparel company, not to ntion the studio. He’s only going to be busier, not more available."
Hearing this, Xue Yang felt a pang of sadness. So, I really am that busy.
Yu Kexin considered this as well and reluctantly said, "Fine, I’ll go with you, but I can only spare two hours at noon. After those two hours, regardless of whether you’re done or not, I have to co back to work."
"?????"
Her choice of words successfully caught everyone’s attention.
Realizing her statent might have been ambiguous, Yu Kexin hurriedly explained, "It’s because Cui Hao is eting up with soone this Saturday, and he asked to help him pick out an outfit."
"A etup?"
"It’s a girl he t in a ga," Yu Kexin explained. "They’ve arranged to et this Saturday."
Xue Yang raised an eyebrow slightly. I think I know who that is.
"Cui Hao, Kexin has to rush to finish the code. She doesn’t have ti to go shopping with you."
"It’s just two hours..." Cui Hao pouted. He had only just managed to convince her.
"To ensure Kexin finishes the code on ti, and to make sure your online friend is dazzled by you at the etup," Xue Yang announced, "I’ve decided to make a sacrifice and go shopping with you myself."
Hearing this, Cui Hao’s face lit up with excitent. "Boss Xue, are you serious?"
Xue Yang’s taste is way better than Yu Kexin’s. I an, just look at her—she wears the sa simple hoodie or all dark-colored clothes every day. Then you look at Boss Xue’s sense of style... he’s on a completely different level.
"Of course, I’m serious. Let’s go. I’ll take you right now."
Cui Hao trotted eagerly behind Xue Yang out of the studio, following him all the way back to the university.
"Boss Xue, didn’t you say you were taking shopping for clothes? Why are we going back to the university?"
"Shopping for clothes costs money. I’m taking you sowhere you don’t need to spend any."
Cui Hao asked doubtfully, "A place where you don’t have to spend money? Does our university have a place like that?"
As Xue Yang led him toward the Departnt of Fashion and Apparel, it suddenly dawned on Cui Hao.
He’d been so excited he’d gotten muddled. Right, who was Xue Yang? The executive director of Trend Fashions, of course! And what was the one thing Trend Fashions had in abundance? Clothes, obviously! Not only that, they had professional designers who could style him to highlight all his best features.
