Fate Trading System – Chapter 356

Plan B

Heart-Stealing Operation 15

Does Su Xin mind?

Of course Su Xin did not mind.

Su Xin even knew why Chu Yanxi had to be like this.

Chu Yanxi said she would cooperate well with the performance, but she was still forcing her.

Su Xin had no choice but to feel that this was her own pot¹.

However, perhaps Chu Yanxi knew her true nature, knew her thoughts, but did not know her purpose.

But according to Su Xin’s understanding of Chu Yanxi, even if Chu Yanxi knew what she wanted to do, she probably wouldn’t feel any sense of concern in her heart, and perhaps would even participate with her with great interest.

Chu Yanxi could not be said to be unfeeling, but she truly had no feelings for Chu Muyu, and in this matter, it was Chu Muyu who was at fault first, so Chu Yanxi did not care at all if she would have her heart abused by others.

Su Xin did not answer Chu Yanxi’s question, appearing as if she was thinking.

Seeing Su Xin looking as if she was genuinely considering the feasibility, Chu Yanxi was instead the first to laugh out loud.

“Not teasing you anymore, I’ll sleep in that room. Sometimes I might come back very late at night, but I will try my best not to disturb you.”

Su Xin pouted and nodded her head.

This person really just likes to watch me act, and then be happy in her own heart.

Truly an old auntie with a stomach full of bad water, also filled with a thick, malicious taste.

“Are you not busy at all?”

Isn’t she the person in charge of a group, the type who has to manage ten thousand opportunities a day² and is very busy? How can she be so idle, it shouldn’t be time to get off work yet, right?

“For you, it doesn’t matter if I delay things a bit.”

“Truly frightening.”

Su Xin rolled her eyes, not caring anymore whether her character persona was collapsing or not.

Anyway, this person just liked to study her small movements, so she would just show them to her openly and satisfy her curiosity.

Approaching the Hour of the Horse³, Chu Yanxi asked Su Xin where she wanted to go for lunch.

“I’m fine with anything, you have definitely eaten at more delicious places here than I have.”

Lin Xiaohuan usually did not like to go out, let alone go eat delicious food by herself. If she ate alone and not with Chu Muyu, she would always buy groceries and cook for herself.

Lin Xiaohuan did not like to order takeout because she felt it was rather extravagant. She could go out to buy groceries and cook, or eat at a small roadside shop. When she went to a proper place to eat, it was always with Chu Muyu; the meals she ate with Chu Muyu, and the things she got to see.

Lin Xiaohuan would like Chu Muyu because Chu Muyu was dazzling, confident, fearless, played openly, and was not stingy about bestowing sunshine on others.

So Lin Xiaohuan clung tightly to her, wanting to draw some warmth, to obtain some nourishment, to allow herself to live a little better.

Lin Xiaohuan never regarded secretly liking Chu Muyu as a tormenting affair; on the contrary, she was extremely happy, as if it were a sky-big secret.

The period of time when Chu Muyu exposed her secret and gave her a promise was probably the time she felt was the happiest; she was so happy she was about to fly.

Then, she fell.

Fell to her death in an instant.

Would Chu Muyu like Lin Xiaohuan?

If Su Xin had to say, she would not.

Never.

Chu Muyu would not let her gaze stop on Lin Xiaohuan’s body. She only liked that she was good to her, liked the feeling of being liked and held up, liked the feeling of others giving everything for her, rather than liking Lin Xiaohuan.

Thinking Lin Xiaohuan was special was probably only because Lin Xiaohuan was the most persistent one, the most stubborn, the most patient, and her gender also made Chu Muyu feel it was special. After all, being liked by the same sex, aside from surprising Chu Muyu, probably also gave her a bit of pride.

How much her charm could make all living things fall for her, that even the same sex was obsessed with her.

What kind of person does Chu Muyu like?

She likes those she cannot obtain, likes those who are dazzling, likes those who do not completely belong to her.

Chu Muyu likes to collect and conquer, but once she has conquered, her gaze will quickly move away, and she will quickly stop caring.

Playing a game in the human world⁴, it was nothing more than this.

So for a moment, Su Xin would think, could Chu Muyu really learn what liking someone is?

If Chu Muyu could not do it herself, then Su Xin would have to force her to be able to.

She was Su Xin, after all.

“Do you like to eat seafood?”

Chu Yanxi was relatively average about everything. She had no food she particularly liked to eat, nor any things she particularly hated. She could accept spicy and non-spicy, and had no special addictions/strong preferences; as long as the taste was okay, it was enough.

“I like it.”

Su Xin liked to eat seafood and river-food. She loved all kinds of meat, was addicted to spicy food, hated bitter and sour flavors, and liked vegetables too, though there were some she particularly disliked.

“Then let’s go eat seafood.”

“Okay.”

Su Xin especially liked to eat shrimp.

Oil-braised big shrimp, steamed big shrimp, plain boiled shrimp, braised big shrimp in soy sauce, salt and pepper shrimp, spicy shrimp, golden phoenix tail shrimp, grilled shrimp, stir-fried shrimp kernels, teriyaki-flavored shrimp, tofu shrimp cakes, fresh shrimp pearl meatballs, cashew shrimp… in short, Su Xin liked to eat all things made with shrimp.

Su Xin and Chu Yanxi got in the car and went to a very famous local seafood hotel.

The price could not be considered extremely expensive, but for the average person, a small extravagance was also very good, because the ingredients here were clean, and the things they made were indeed very delicious.

Su Xin’s eyes kept lingering on the several pages for shrimp, and Chu Yanxi understood her preference at once.

She ordered a few shrimp dishes, and also ordered a vegetable dish, a meat dish, and a soup. Lunch was thus decided.

The view from this hotel was very nice, and the decoration was also very elegant, antique and fragrant. Who knew what kind of incense was burning in the room, but the scent was quite pleasant.

I’ll have to find a master to apprentice with when I’m not busy, to learn how to make shrimp dishes. The little girl’s eyes have been circling over those pages, looking at this one and that one, not knowing which to choose. Her little appearance is so endearing.

The dishes had not yet been served, and Su Xin did not make awkward small talk with Chu Yanxi.

Chu Yanxi was afraid Su Xin would be bored and that it would be too disrespectful to just play on her phone directly, so she simply started to handle matters with her phone, allowing Su Xin to be a bit more at ease.

Su Xin saw Chu Yanxi holding her phone, making a call and talking about some company matters to the person on the other end, so she also took out her phone and started to play, and then she received a message from Chu Muyu.

Chu Muyu’s phone number had already been blacklisted by her, intelligently intercepted by the phone manager, so Chu Muyu could not get her call through.

Su Xin did not intend to be absolutely ruthless, and still left other channels for Chu Muyu to contact her. She had to let Chu Muyu take the initiative. If she took the initiative, then it would be time to rest force⁵, as she could not let previous efforts be all wasted.

Chu Muyu: Xiaohuan, where are you? I didn’t see you at home, you guys should be out of class by now.

Lin Xiaohuan: Something up?

Chu Muyu: I wanted to invite you out to eat. We can go to that restaurant on Jian’an Avenue, we’ve been there together before. Isn’t there a dish there you quite like to eat? We can go again together.

Lin Xiaohuan: I’m already out eating now……

Chu Muyu: Aii… then are you free this afternoon?

Su Xin squinted her eyes. What was wrong with Chu Muyu?

How did she suddenly change her personality, and actually learn to take the initiative?

Lin Xiaohuan: Maybe… I’m not sure either.

Chu Muyu: Then make a date with me, I’ll treat you to a meal. In the afternoon we don’t have to go for a big meal, we can go eat noodles together. I know a noodle shop with especially delicious noodles, how about I take you there in the afternoon?

Lin Xiaohuan: I probably don’t have time, sorry.

Chu Muyu: It’s okay if we can’t make it today, tomorrow is also fine. If you’re not free tomorrow either, then the day after tomorrow. You can’t possibly be this busy every day, right?

Lin Xiaohuan: ……

Chu Muyu: If you don’t want to eat with me, you don’t have to see me, but the delicious food is not at fault, right?

Lin Xiaohuan: ……Chu Muyu, what’s wrong with you?

This was simply like seeing a ghost while alive⁶, how was this like Chu Muyu at all.

Chu Muyu: Nothing’s wrong. Since we can’t go back to our previous relationship, we can always start over, right? Start over as friends who are not that familiar. I know you don’t like me anymore, you don’t have to repeat it again and again, I won’t cling to this matter and say anything. Quite the opposite, I hope you can truly find your own happiness, but I really don’t want to give up a good friend like you.

Chu Muyu rattled off a bunch of messages. Sure enough, after Su Xin finished reading, she felt even more off.

Master Fourteen, show me Chu Muyu’s surveillance video. This change is too fast, there must be a reason.

【Okay, it will be done immediately.】

After Su Xin finished watching, she only wanted to let out a three-part sigh of emotion.

Lying trough⁷, wow, oh mother.

This Wu Yubing is truly a godly assist⁸, even though he doesn’t know what he did.

Although these two people are both dregs⁹, it’s obvious that Wu Yubing is a bit more likable, ai, not really, half a jin, eight liang¹⁰, but Wu Yubing’s understanding is a bit clearer, but that also cannot change the fact that he is still a philandering scumbag.

But still, fucking thanks to him.

Lin Xiaohuan: Ah……

Chu Muyu: I’ll come find you tomorrow, okay? I have your favorite chocolate here.

Lin Xiaohuan: No need, sorry, I don’t like to eat chocolate anymore.

Lin Xiaohuan liked to eat chocolate, liked to eat sweets, but Su Xin was just so-so about them.

Moreover, Su Xin did not like to eat chocolate. Although everyone says chocolate is a sweet dessert, Su Xin always felt that chocolate was unbearably bitter. Although things like white chocolate exist, that was really just sickeningly sweet.

Chu Muyu: Is that so… I made those chocolates by hand. In any case, I hope I can deliver them to you for you to taste a bite yourself. If you don’t like it, then I’ll just take them back.

Lin Xiaohuan: I cannot bear your kindness… you can give it to someone else.

Chu Muyu: How can you not bear it? If even you cannot bear it, then who else can?

Lin Xiaohuan: Are you Chu Muyu?

Chu Muyu: Do you need me to make a call to verify? But you might need to take me out of the blacklist first.

Lin Xiaohuan: ……

Chu Muyu: For the past, I’m truly sorry. Are you eating lunch? Eat happily, bye bye.

Su Xin rubbed her forehead, put down her phone, and looked at Chu Yanxi in front of her.

The operations of this mother and daughter pair are both so suffocating.
