Fate Trading System – Chapter 362

Plan B

Heart-Stealing Operation 21

Chu Muyu was a little entranced as she listened; she already knew from the singer competition that Lin Xiaohuan sang very well.

But that was in a spacious place with many people, not like now, listening to Lin Xiaohuan’s voice with headphones on.

The lyrics were very mocking, and also very fitting.

She did not know if Lin Xiaohuan was trying to express something.

Only when the song in her ears stopped did Chu Muyu stop that kind of trance.

The other shuoshuo¹ in her Space was from five years ago, from when they met.

Lin Xiaohuan had deleted all of her shuoshuo, so why did Lin Xiaohuan leave only this one?

And the content of this shuoshuo… was Lin Xiaohuan really not trying to express something?

【I met someone, and I’m very happy.】

Chu Muyu even saw her own reply below it.

Little silly melon², rubs rubs.

This was said by her five-years-ago self; that tone should have been very happy, right?

At that time, she and Lin Xiaohuan had just met, so her attitude was surely very good and very likable.

Chu Muyu rubbed the corners of her eyes and looked up at the ceiling.

Did the fact that Lin Xiaohuan kept it represent some special meaning?

If it did not, then why keep it?

Chu Muyu controlled herself not to fall into any wild thoughts, but she could not control her own thinking and could only let it go off track.

Chu Muyu went to look through her previous chat history again, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corners of her mouth as she looked at the words Lin Xiaohuan had said.

Chu Muyu did not get up to go to class; instead, she fell back onto the bed, thinking about her problem.

What exactly do I want to do?

Do I move forward and try something different, to take back what I want to get, or do I take a step back and not care?

I really can’t not care.

Chu Muyu was not resigned to it.

“What a pain.”

Chu Muyu muttered; how had she never discovered before that feelings were such a troublesome thing? How happy she was before; now, she was not free and easy at all.

The door was suddenly pushed open, but Chu Muyu paid it no mind.

“Wu Yubing, do you have anything to eat here?”

“Who are you?”

A sharp, questioning voice came from the doorway.

Instead of hearing Wu Yubing’s voice, she heard a woman’s voice. That voice startled Chu Muyu so much her head hurt, and she looked toward the doorway.

A woman she did not recognize.

“And who are you?”

Chu Muyu touched her ear, very impatiently.

“I’m Wu Yubing’s girlfriend. Where did you come from?”

It was no wonder this girl misunderstood. This was Wu Yubing’s house, Wu Yubing’s room, and Wu Yubing’s bed, and Chu Muyu was lying on it, wearing Wu Yubing’s shirt.

Because Chu Muyu’s clothes from yesterday were too dirty to wear, and there were none of Chu Muyu’s clothes at Wu Yubing’s house, she had worn Wu Yubing’s clothes.

Chu Muyu walked over to the table, gathered her hair in front of the mirror, and tied it up with a comb.

With nothing else to wear, Chu Muyu buttoned up the shirt, but she was still in a state of vacuum³ inside.

“Who the hell are you?”

“Go ask Wu Yubing yourself, then.”

Chu Muyu was too lazy to explain; she kind of understood the mood of that other woman from the time she had caught Wu Yubing rolling around in bed with her.

Amused and mocking, disdainful and contemptuous.

When Chu Muyu wanted to walk past the woman, the woman suddenly raised her hand.

“Bitch!”

Chu Muyu was not the type to let herself be hit obediently; she grabbed the girl’s hand and gave her a push.

“There’s no damn business⁴, get lost.”

Chu Muyu walked to the balcony and saw that her clothes had already been washed and hung up; she took them down with a clothes-drying pole, and the clothes were already dry.

This was one part of Wu Yubing she quite liked: he was very considerate.

The girl must have called Wu Yubing, as she resentfully hung up the phone.

“Shameless thing.”

“Tch, this… Auntie, please get it straight. Last night, he and I had no damn business⁵ going on, but whether he had any with someone else, that I don’t know.”

Chu Muyu curled her lip, dressing in a carefree manner; she never shied away from showing off her physical assets.

That contemptuous form of address also represented her disdain.

Although that girl was not especially good-looking, she definitely could not be considered an Auntie; although her face was not as youthful as Chu Muyu’s, she was not old either.

Women as a species… Chu Muyu discovered that she really still could not bring herself to like them.

What’s so cute about girls? Boys are still more fun.

If the hand touching her own body were slick and soft, Chu Muyu could not help but shiver, but when she immediately replaced that unknown person in her mind with Lin Xiaohuan, the situation seemed to become a little different.

She liked the pair of eyes that the current Lin Xiaohuan had; they were not the least bit like her previous shyness, radiating with vitality and filled with hope and attraction.

It seemed she was not bent⁶.

It seemed she still did not like women, but she just felt that Lin Xiaohuan was a bit interesting.

After Chu Muyu finished getting dressed, she made a decision.

Chu Muyu planned to quietly distance herself from Lin Xiaohuan for a period of time, to suppress that impulse in her heart and see if it would cool down.

Chu Muyu’s actions were all recorded by Fourteen and told to Su Xin.

【Host, are you not going to manage this?】

Let her air out⁷; when the time comes, there will be a big surprise.

Su Xin lay on Chu Yanxi’s lap, a mischievous smile appearing on the corners of her mouth.

“Can you act in a play with me?”

Su Xin poked Chu Yanxi’s leg and looked up at her chin.

Her original plan was not like this, and the person she had originally wanted to find was not Chu Yanxi either.

But if it was Chu Yanxi, the matter would be easier to handle and also easier to manipulate.

“What bad idea are you cooking up?”

Chu Yanxi pinched Su Xin’s face, her fingertips rubbing against her cheek.

Su Xin sat up and whispered her plan into Chu Yanxi’s ear.

“You want me to be the bad guy?”

Chu Yanxi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. She pinched Su Xin’s butt, a teasing look on her face.

“How about it? If you don’t agree, then I’ll just think of another plan.”

Su Xin spread her hands.

“How could I possibly not agree? As long as you’re happy is fine, and… it also suits my intentions perfectly.”

Chu Yanxi was not afraid of being any kind of bad guy; since she could openly and honorably do some things she wanted to do, why not do it with pleasure?

“Then I’ll have to trouble you when the time comes.”

“Just how much do you hate her, hmm?”

Chu Yanxi huffed a laugh, put down the document in her hand, and had Su Xin straddle her face-to-face, rubbing her cheek against Su Xin’s.

“Couldn’t it be said that it’s about how much I love her?”

Su Xin muttered in dissatisfaction.

“I just don’t know if she can bear this love.”

Su Xin touched her own wrist and reached out to wrap her arms around Chu Yanxi’s neck.

It was impossible for Chu Yanxi to know what her life was linked to; if she knew, how could that be allowed?

“When do you plan to start?”

“It depends on when she will return home.”

“Then starting tomorrow, we’ll move back to live there?”

“Let’s talk about it after this summer vacation is over.”

Su Xin still wanted to spend a summer vacation with Chu Yanxi.

“Okay.”

The light in Chu Yanxi’s eyes brightened. Did Su Xin’s words mean that there was at least one more summer vacation’s time between them?

Although Chu Yanxi was in the process of handing over her position to others all at once⁸, she still had to control the majority of matters, to avoid any accidents, or to prevent anyone from trying to drill a hole⁹.

Su Xin did not want to study today. They only had three examinable courses this time; the others were all assessment-based courses, so she only needed to study for those three and was not particularly busy. Su Xin had already finished all her other homework before.

A call came through on Chu Yanxi’s mobile phone. Chu Yanxi’s face fell as she began to speak with the person on the other end.

Su Xin could tell from her expression that the person on the other end of the call was definitely someone Chu Yanxi did not like.

Chu Yanxi was very relaxed in front of her and did not need to be tense; whether she was happy or unhappy, she knew.

Su Xin liked this kind of feeling.

She liked the feeling of understanding her other half as clearly as pointing to her own palm¹⁰, or to put it inappropriately, of holding her other half’s personality in the palm of her own hand.

If you did not even know the emotions of the person who accompanies you day and night, not knowing if she was happy or angry, what a terrifying thing that would be.

Seeing that Chu Yanxi was handling matters, Su Xin quietly played on her phone so as not to disturb her.

After Chu Yanxi hung up the phone, Su Xin went over to help her rub her temples, letting Chu Yanxi lean into her embrace.

“It’s nothing.”

Chu Yanxi looked up and kissed the side of Su Xin’s face, then touched Su Xin’s hand and interlocked their ten fingers.

Chu Muyu did not rent a new place, nor did she have anywhere else to live. She had originally wanted to stay at Wu Yubing’s place, but Wu Yubing’s new girlfriend was really a bit annoying.

So after she left, she simply went to a hotel to lie down. She did not have many classes today, and someone would answer the roll call for her. The teacher was also too lazy to manage her; if she did not love to study, then so be it¹¹.

Before calming down, Chu Muyu wanted to look at Lin Xiaohuan’s Space one last time, and listen to that song 《Red Rose》¹² one last time.

Chu Muyu clicked open the page, telling herself, One last time, then I’ll calm down.

The feeling will slowly, slowly fade.

But…

Chu Muyu’s face fell, her hand gripping the phone very tightly.

A few words were clearly written on the screen: “No permission to access.”

What does this mean?

I could still see it just now, but now I can’t?

We didn’t just have a conflict or anything, right? Why is it suddenly like this?

Chu Muyu took a breath to calm herself and went to poke¹³ someone to ask a question.

If everyone was blocked, then it was not her problem.

But when she received a negative answer from the other person, Chu Muyu felt unhappy.

She had just been preparing to distance herself and relax. If she had discovered after a period of time that Lin Xiaohuan had set permissions for her, it would not have been a big deal.

But now, just as she had made her decision, she discovered she had been permission-blocked first. This was like suddenly having a fish bone stuck in her throat; no matter how she thought about it, it was unpleasant.

Chu Muyu, filled with anger, tapped open Su Xin’s chat page and asked a series of questions.

Chu Muyu: Why did you set permissions for me?

Chu Muyu: Was this necessary?

Chu Muyu: Do you know that I…

Chu Muyu: If you’re really that impatient, then just delete me! Really, what’s the point of leaving that one shuoshuo that seems right but is wrong there?

Chu Muyu sent another message, but a red exclamation mark appeared.

“You are not yet friends with the other party.”
