Chapter 179, Chapter 3: Tying Up the Boat
He spoke with a lighthearted tone that was almost mocking, which seemed completely out of place with his appearance.
Even though the voice wasn't one he recognized, and it was even a rough, deep male voice.
But Xu Qingzhou slowly opened her eyes wider.
Those eyes, which had been calm and still since they entered, suddenly seemed to be filled with a sky full of stars, exploding with dazzling light.
The loose ice layer shattered and melted in an instant.
He revealed the overwhelming ecstasy and disbelief surging beneath his skin, almost engulfing him.
He practically bounced off the ground.
Under countless gazes, both overt and covert, he opened his arms and, without a word, tightly embraced the orc giant who was a whole size taller and stronger than him.
The force was so great that it seemed to want to crush this body made of data and embed it into its own bones and blood.
He was trembling all over, his face buried in her neck.
"You're prettier than me."
Even her voice trembled, tinged with a weak sob.
It was like a traveler who had trekked through a desert for tens of thousands of years finally grasping a handful of life-saving sweet spring water.
So precious that I dared not exert myself, yet so wronged that I wanted to cry.
Even though the sound was very soft, it still reached everyone's ears clearly in the main hall, which was deliberately kept quiet.
The main hall was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.
All the players, including Lin Xiaoxiao, stared in disbelief at the scene before them, a spectacle comparable to a world-famous painting.
Each person had mixed feelings and strange expressions.
Yu Wanwan subconsciously raised her hand, found his face buried deep in her neck, and touched it.
Dry.
I didn't cry.
The next second, she remembered that this was in a game, and the character's body couldn't shed tears.
Yu Wanwan pursed her lips and gave him a gentle push.
Are you serious about how I look?
That question perfectly voiced the thoughts of everyone present.
Xu Qingzhou was pushed away slightly, but his arms stubbornly wrapped around her waist.
He raised his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on her rugged orc face, as if trying to pierce through the virtual shell and look directly into her soul.
"Can't you sense whether someone is serious or not?"
Those vibrant eyes swept over her muscular physique, and then tapped her chest armor with a finger.
"And it's good this way, it feels reassuring to hold you like this."
"..."
Yu Wanwan looked like she'd seen a ghost.
The onlookers below were so stunned that they were speechless, their mouths agape.
Isn't this development a little off?
Before they could react, Xu Qingzhou suddenly released his hand from her waist and instead took her huge hand in his.
"Walk!"
Where to?
"marry."
The two words fell lightly, like a depth charge dropped on a calm lake.
"Holy crap?"
"Marriage? Between whom?"
Unfortunately, the people involved have already been teleported away, and there is no trace of the two of them in the Hundred Herbs Palace.
That day, a post on the forum titled "Why did Wanxi Xingzhou confess her love to the hunky orc MT in public?" quickly went viral.
As the undisputed top influencer in Kyushu, Xu Qingzhou naturally has many fans.
This post, complete with pictures and videos, couldn't be more authentic, leaving fans with no room for argument.
A group of people rushed in, cursing and swearing, and then left, sobbing and whimpering.
Although male-male couples are quite popular now, the public doesn't seem to have much aversion to homosexuality.
But this pair...
They really couldn't handle it!
Xu Qingzhou didn't care what they thought; he spent money like crazy to increase his intimacy with her as quickly as possible.
Then, without stopping, he dragged Yu Wanwan straight to the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon.
Looking at the marriage invitation that popped up from the system, Yu Wanwan still had some mixed feelings.
Are you sure you want to marry me?
Xu Qingzhou glanced at her.
"If you don't marry me, who else do you want to marry?"
His tone was melancholic, filled with sorrow and grievance.
"..."
Is that what she meant?
Yu Wanwan raised her arm and patted the firm biceps on it.
Even if I were a man?
Xu Qingzhou chuckled and reached out to pinch her muscle.
"Xiao Wan, have you misunderstood something?"
Seeing Yu Wanwan's utterly bewildered expression, he pointed to the top of his head.
The words "绾系行舟" (tethering the boat) were displayed horizontally, gleaming in gold.
"Did you see this ID?"
Yu Wanwan blinked.
"My little boat has long been moored by you."
He stood on tiptoe, leaned close to her ear, and spoke as if sighing, as if making a vow.
"I don't care if you're a man or a woman, as long as it's you, I'm yours."
Yu Wanwan remained silent for a few seconds, her smile almost overflowing.
"Alright."
The awareness is not bad.
The moment the "agree" button was clicked, a server-wide system announcement flashed across the screens of all online players.
[System Announcement] Congratulations to player "绾系行舟" and player "磨人小妖精" on their marriage! May they be forever in love!
The world channel immediately erupted in chaos.
[World] Holy crap?! It's really over?!
[World] No! Waaaaah, Xingzhou, even if you want to end your single life, at least don't find someone like this!
[World] Waaaaah, brother, blink if you've been kidnapped!
One announcement shattered the hearts of countless young girls.
But all of this is no longer relevant to Yu Wanwan and Xu Qingzhou.
The game had many inconveniences, so after chatting briefly, the two logged off and went about their own business.
As soon as she took off her helmet, Yu Wanwan was startled by a girl standing right in front of her with a mournful expression.
Blinking, Yu Wanwan pushed her a little further away and sat up.
"Xiaoxiao, people can scare each other to death."
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't care and pounced on Yu Wanwan, knocking her down onto the sofa.
She grabbed her arm and shook it frantically.
"Stop playing dumb! Tell me! What's going on between you and the big boss?!"
Yu Wanwan was shaken until she felt dizzy.
"I'll talk, I'll talk! Let me go first!"
After finally breaking free from comfort, Yu Wanwan was able to catch her breath.
Lin Xiaoxiao, though she let go, still clung to a pillow, staring at her menacingly.
"..."
How was she supposed to explain that?
"Well, it's a long story..."
"Then let's get straight to the point!"
"..."
Sigh, it seems I can't fool them anymore.
Since that's the case...
Yu Wanwan stroked her chin and began to make up a story.
"Actually, it's like this: when I was young and naive, I swindled him out of ten million yuan through an online romance. I never expected to run into him again, and then..."
She spread her hands, her face full of innocence.
"He probably felt that he couldn't let that ten million go to waste, so he wanted me to repay him with my body!"
Lin Xiaoxiao hugged the pillow and looked at her expressionlessly.
"Yu Xiaotian".
She pointed to herself, grinned, and revealed a set of bright white teeth.
Do I look like an idiot?
Even if you're going to make something up, at least make it believable!
Yu Wanwan blinked, wanting to continue making things up.
"Really, back then..."
"stop!"
Lin Xiaoxiao raised her hand to interrupt her.
"You've never even made your first in-game purchase, and you only buy instant noodles when they're on sale at the mall. You're trying to scam ten million? Tell me, what does that ten million look like?"
"..."
Yu Wanwan touched her nose.
Fine, who told Yu Tian to live such a simple life?
Lin Xiaoxiao sighed and leaned over to ruffle her hair a couple of times.
"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. But you'd better watch out and not get fooled."
Yu Wanwan chuckled lightly.
Now I understand why Yu Tian and she have such a good relationship.
"He's the one who should be wary."
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at her, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
Does she have some misunderstanding about herself?
Reuniting with Xu Qingzhou did not bring any major changes to Yu Wanwan's life.
She continued Yu Tian's simple life of going to school, writing papers, working, and playing games every day.
If there's any change, it's that in the meantime, another thing has been added: receiving a phone call from Xu Qingzhou every day.
He already knows her address, but he hasn't come looking for her yet.
It's not that I don't want to.
Instead, he is currently abroad, attending a multinational conference.
In this world, Xu Qingzhou is the eldest son of the Xu Group in Beijing.
Unlike his previous experiences of becoming a monk later in life, this time he was reincarnated.
Moreover, it carries all of his memories and cultivation.
With these advantages, doing business is as easy for him as eating and drinking.
At only twenty years old, before even graduating from university, he had already taken over the group.
Now at the age of 25, under his leadership, the group has already entered the world's top 100.
Neither Yu Wanwan nor Xu Qingzhou are impulsive people.
Even when I'm anxious, I can still manage to suppress my emotions and get the important things done first.
After hanging up the phone with Xu Qingzhou, Yu Wanwan lay on the bed lost in thought.
"Guoguo, why is he here?"
So you finally remembered to ask.
It thought she was overwhelmed by the joy of their reunion.
Yu Wanwan glanced at it with a quiet, languid look.
Daoguo immediately became obedient.
【I don't know either. 】
"..."
Then what nonsense is it talking about!
Daoguo felt guilty and dared not utter a sound.
Isn't this a rare sight to see her lose her composure?
If I don't seize the opportunity to say something to her, I'll be missing out!
Unable to get an answer, Yu Wanwan could only suppress the matter for the time being.
Whatever the reason, she's here now, and no one can touch her.
As the days went by, Yu Wanwan didn't see Xu Qingzhou, but instead, she was greeted by final exam week.
She didn't finish carrying on that legacy.
After glancing at Lin Xiaoxiao's progress and estimating Yu Tian's grade, I wrote a little something and submitted it.
It went unnoticed by anyone.
The final exams weren't difficult for her either.
Yu Tian's grades were neither good nor bad, placing her in the middle range.
Yu Wanwan is here for a vacation and has no intention of standing out.
She wrote according to Yu Tian's usual ability, controlling the score.
The exam results came out very quickly; the holiday hadn't even started yet, and the results had already been announced.
Those who failed a course need to retake it before the holiday, while those who didn't fail can go home early.
"Yu Xiaotian, are you going back?"
Yu Wanwan thought for a moment.
Yu Tian is an orphan; her mother, the dean, passed away from illness when she was just starting university.
In her original city, there was no one she cared about anymore.
"I won't reply."
Lin Xiaoxiao was aware of her situation, and her eyes lit up.
"That's great! Now we can make plans again!"
Yes, Lin Xiaoxiao's home is in Beijing, but not in the medical university area.
However, it's not far away; it only takes half an hour by subway.
"Wait for me to come play! Don't you dare not answer my phone!"
Yu Wanwan sighed and dragged her suitcase out.
"Okay, let's hurry up, or we'll miss the subway."
"They're here! They're here!"
Just as she came downstairs, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly gasped and started shaking her arm again.
"Look over there! Look over there! There's a handsome guy!"
