Chapter 4: Chapter 04 - Red Rain from Sky, Handsome Man Attacks_1
Nanxi was sitting in the car, a bit spaced out, trying to call Liang Qiaoqiao again. This time, it finally got through!
Liang Qiaoqiao asked, "So, did you meet that person? What's their level?"
Nanxi really wanted to say: He's a god amongst men! But Lu Yinchu had already turned down her cousin. If her strong-willed cousin found out, she'd surely blow her top at the spot. After clearing her throat lightly, Nanxi apologized to the deities in her mind for lying, "Alright... let's say, average. But I still don't think he can match your unparalleled beauty and grace, haha!"
"..." Liang Qiaoqiao paused, "So, you're saying... he's very unimpressive?"
"Huh? I didn't say he's bad, it's just that you're too excellent, cousin!"
"Ahem!" Qiaoqiao was taken aback, slightly startled, "Well... okay then! Anyway, thanks for today. You should head back to school earlier. Let's hang up. I'll contact you if anything comes up!"
...
Nanxi returned to school almost 40 minutes later, and only went back to her dormitory after having a meal at the canteen. As soon as she reached the door, her phone started ringing. Hearing the wailing ringtone from "Divine Song," Nanxi's heart leaped!
This ringtone was specially set for her beautiful and lovely editor, Bai Ri. She had been yammering for at least three hours since she left, and she hadn't updated her document yet. As you can see...
Nanxi quickly picked up the call. Not answering would have severe consequences, such as her manuscript fee for the month getting deducted, a move Bai Ri would totally pull off!
"Gu Nanxi! What happened to the update you promised? Where is the update... I'm asking you... WHERE... IS... THE... UPDATE!!!"
Hearing Bai Ri roaring hysterically on the other end of the line, Nanxi took a deep breath and then exhaled, before taking another deep breath. She placed her hand over her trembling heart, leaning against the door, "Sweetie, just give me one more hour. I'll update right away. If I don't update, feel free to deduct half of my manuscript fee for this month, okay?"
...
An hour and ten minutes later, Nanxi uploaded the 3000-word manuscript and heaved a sigh of relief. Her Twitter buzzed. A message popped up—
Bai Ri, sitting cross-legged with a wine glass in her hand, spoke with the demeanor of a queen, "Sweetie, I'm looking forward to your update tomorrow!"
Nanxi: ...
...
At night, in the dormitory, Nanxi, Lan Qiqi, and Yang Su were all busy with their dissertations, while Han Baobao was browsing the internet... Suddenly, a shriek broke the original peaceful, tense but harmonious atmosphere of the dormitory!
It was Han Baobao!
"Oh my gosh, this man is so handsome! Come and have a look!"
Yang Su, who was closest to Baobao, turned to have a look and her eyes immediately lit up, "He really is! He could give Li Weihuan a run for his money!"
Lan Qiqi glanced sideways, her interest piqued, "There are more good-looking guys than Li Weihuan in this world? Really?"
Her tone was similar to that of a dandy watching a courtesan in a brothel...
Nanxi felt a tension in her muscles. Why was everyone talking about her Huanhuan...
"Hey, Nanxi, come and look. A really handsome man and he's the CEO of a big company. Oh my, he's got both wealth and looks, and he's so masculine... A real catch!" Han Baobao shouted from the side.
Nanxi couldn't help but imagine the man she met during the day, Lu... Could there really be someone more handsome than him?
No way... Has it started raining handsome men in H City recently?
"What's the name of this pretty boy? Tell me, I'll look him up!" Lan Qiqi asked nonchalantly, resting her long, beautiful leg on the desk.
Han Baobao replied with a grunt, "Hold on, let me check!"
Nanxi opened the BaiDu webpage, planning to join in the fun and look him up too. Just then, she heard Han Baobao quietly announce three words, "Lu Yinchu."
