Chapter 1019: The Part-Time Expert (35)
There were more rounds in the finals, so Ming Shu needed to spend more time at the competition. She had less time to spend with Si Chen.
Ming Shu’s unscrupulous reputation was known by everyone.
What happened with Team Phoenix was just a small deal.
They felt that the other teams would never dare to fight against Ming Shu again.
She caused them too much trauma.
During the final three competition, Team Phoenix lost. They were unable to get into the top three. People wondered if it was because they got traumatized by Ming Shu.
Team HS managed to enter the top three.
Tao Zi left. The person substituting her was male.
On the eve of the competition, Gift Pack of Snacks suddenly announced that they would forfeit the match.
All the players: “???”
Everyone was still waiting to see what insidious plans they would use against Team HS.
Ming Shu replied to those players that wanted to kill her on the public chat.
[In order to protect the tradition of Team NS being third, I have no choice.]
[…] Where are our knives!
Ming Shu was chased around the map by the players.
Even if she had a relationship with the boss of Asking Gods, they would not let her go.
Ming Shu formed this team so that she could target her snacks coupon. Now that her snacks coupon was gone, there was no reason for her to continue the match. It was a waste of time for her.
Just as Ming Shu announced their forfeit and got the third position, Tao Zi’s Hatred Points became full.
She wanted to get the position and fought hard to get it.
Ming Shu, on the other hand, gave up her chance just like this.
The winner of the competition was Team HS.
…
Ming Shu’s team members felt satisfied that they were able to play in a professional competition. Yellow Crane Returning West was busy, so after the competition ended, he disappeared.
Jiang Liu was preparing for his University Entrance Exam.
Overlapped Moon and Sun went back to his hometown and got married. The other members teased him for this.
Qingqiu Zhong was busy taking over his family business. No one knew what Tonight’s Moon was doing. He just disappeared abruptly.
However, Team Gift Pack of Snacks was not disbanded. The club looked for new members to join the team. As the only substitute of the team, Xiang Wan became the team leader.
Ming Shu learned about Qin Jin chasing Xiang Wan from Wang Heyang.
At the start of the third season, Qin Jin found Wang Heyang and expressed that he wanted to join NS.
Wang Heyang didn’t dare to accept him. He thought that Qin Jin was here to spy on them.
Xiang Wan talked to Qin Jin and Qin Jin gave up on this idea.
But, the two of them would always be spotted together in the game.
Rumors about them being a couple started spreading. Xiang Wan denied it, but Qin Jin remained silent.
Xiang Wan felt helpless.
She liked Qin Jin.
She was able to come this far because of Qin Jin.
But…
She didn’t dare to be with him.
She felt that she wasn’t good enough.
Ming Shu walked past her with a bag of sliced bread. “Young girl, there is no such thing as whether you are good enough. You only need to decide if you want to sleep with him.”
Xiang Wan: “…” Master, you are very direct!
Jiang Liu, who was doing his homework, raised his hand slowly. “Wind God, I am still underage.”
Wang Heyang instantly raised his head. “What?”
Jiang Liu shrunk his head. “The age on my identity card is wrong… Actually, I am just… 17 years old this year.”
Wang Heyang: “…” A bunch of demons!
Xiang Wan laughed loudly when she saw Wang Heyang’s shocked face. “Hahahaha! Jiang Liu, call me Big Sister.”
Jiang Liu was obedient. “Big Sister.”
Wang Heyang pulled a long face. “Xiang Wan, the new members will be reporting in tomorrow. You will lead them. I want to see results in three days.”
Wang Heyang was furious. He left angrily.
Xiang Wan shrugged. She turned and asked Jiang Liu, “Jiang Liu, will you continue to play after your University Entrance Exam?”
Jiang Liu replied, “My mother said that if I enter Wind God’s school, I can continue. If not…”
Jiang Liu gave a sad face.
Xiang Wan shook her head. “Scary.”
Not just anyone could get into her master’s school.
“If Master helps you, you will be able to get in.”
“I am very busy.” Ming Shu held a piece of bread and slowly chewed on it.
“You are busy eating bread?”
Xiang Wan felt that her master didn’t eat a lot. She just ate very slowly. However, if you placed a bunch of snacks in front of her, she would finish them.
She was like a little hamster storing up snacks.
“Please respect the bread!”
“I will buy snacks for you every day. Please help Jiang Liu.” She didn’t dare to ask Yellow Crane Returning West and the rest of the original team. She felt that they were difficult people. The only person she dared to ask was her master.
Ming Shu: “…”
Don’t think that I will agree just because of snacks.
“With hi-tea.”
Xiang Wan: “…”
Xiang Wan touched her purse. She had enough money from her part-time job. There was some money earned from teaching other people how to play the game too. She didn’t need to send money back home now, so she had quite some spare cash left.
Xiang Wan nodded. “Sure!”
This was her master anyway.
Xiang Wan immediately went to train the new team members. When Jiang Liu didn’t need to go to lessons, Ming Shu would teach him homework. She would occasionally go on dates with Si Chen too. Most of the time, Si Chen brought her out to eat.
In order to make his wife happy, Si Chen put in much time and effort.
Si Chen didn’t have much free time now. Sometimes, when Ming Shu was satisfied with her meals, she would visit him at the villa.
When she was not satisfied, she would not go no matter how frequently Si Chen called her.
…
“Junior Sister, you’re here,” Wu Qing greeted her. There was a huge commotion upstairs. “He is throwing a tantrum. Everyone got implicated today.”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “Who angered him?”
Wu Qing shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Ming Shu slowly walked up. Assistant #1 and Assistant #2 were standing against the greenhouse like two statues.
When they saw Ming Shu, they gave a forced smile. “Miss Ji He.”
They spoke loudly so that the people inside could hear them.
The people in the greenhouse turned quiet. Then, a bunch of people rushed out and hurried down the stairs.
The greenhouse was a mess. Si Chen had smashed a few things. When Ming Shu entered, Si Chen immediately came over. He hugged Ming Shu and buried his head in her arms. “Wife, I feel uncomfortable.”
He didn’t want to get angry, but he felt irritated whenever he didn’t get to see her.
That bunch of stupid people always attempted to go past his bottom line too.
Ming Shu felt his face. She looked up and kissed him.
The gentle kiss calmed him down.
Si Chen hugged Ming Shu’s waist and pulled her closer. His tongue went past her teeth and he sucked on her tongue.
After a while, Si Chen released her as he panted. He waited for his body to calm down before kissing her again. Then, he pulled her to the side and asked her to sit down.
He hugged Ming Shu from the back and asked Ming Shu to sit on his lap. He took some snacks from the drawer beside him and gave them to Ming Shu. “You can eat this. I will hug you while I work. Is that okay?”
“Won’t you get tired?”
Si Chen replied, “I feel calmer if I hug you.”
“Oh.”
Ming Shu leaned against him.
She didn’t ask why he got angry and what he was busy with. She just watched quietly as he worked.
Si Chen looked at her occasionally. Most of the time, Ming Shu was in a daze. When he kissed her, she would look at him.
He liked it when she looked at him.
