Xia Yuqing's cousin suffered the same unilateral breakup treatment as An Wuyang.
But for An Wuyang, Su Yueling's unilateral breakup was absolutely wonderful!
Xu Zixuan, on the other hand, was different—she didn't want to break up now, at least not until she found her next simp.
After all, if she broke up now, who would be her simp?
Without a simp, how could she eat, drink, and have fun?
Niu Fenjin's conditions weren't exactly outstanding, but they were decent enough for Xu Zixuan. Now that Niu Fenjin had unilaterally broken up, it was naturally hard for Xu Zixuan to hold it together.
An Wuyang and Xia Yuqing had no idea Xu Zixuan had been unilaterally dumped. An Wuyang checked the time—it was already past four in the afternoon—so he took the initiative to speak. "Xia classmate, I've made plans to have dinner with a friend tonight. Let me take you home first."
Xia Yuqing felt a faint twinge of disappointment. When she heard the first half of his sentence, she thought he might ask if she wanted to join, but it turned out he was just taking her home.
Still, thinking it over, she knew it was only normal for him to take her home first. After all, there was nothing between them—just a bit of flirtation, not the boyfriend-girlfriend relationship Xu Zixuan had claimed.
"Okay." Xia Yuqing replied affirmatively.
"I'll contact the Zegna store clerk first." An Wuyang took out his phone and sent a message to Jack, the Zegna clerk, asking him to deliver the items he'd bought earlier to the B2 parking garage.
After sending the message to Jack, An Wuyang led Xia Yuqing toward Starlight Plaza.
In about seven or eight minutes, they returned to Starlight Plaza and then took the elevator down to B2.
When they stepped out of the elevator, they saw Jack and another clerk already waiting in the elevator lobby as arranged. The two Zegna clerks then followed An Wuyang to load the shopping bags into the trunk of the BMW M3.
A few Lululemon shopping bags were placed in the back seat.
Xia Yuqing got into the passenger seat first, while An Wuyang scanned the code to pay the parking fee in advance.
In the passenger seat, Xia Yuqing received a message from Xu Zixuan.
'Xu Zixuan: I got dumped.'
'Xu Zixuan: Cousin, where are you and An classmate going for dinner tonight?'
'Xu Zixuan: Can you bring me along?'
'Xu Zixuan: I'm really upset right now.'
Xia Yuqing looked at the messages from Xu Zixuan and showed a knowing expression.
She wasn't surprised at all about the breakup. Even if it hadn't happened this time, it would have eventually—after all, her cousin was just too bizarre.
Besides, Xia Yuqing had no intention of replying to Xu Zixuan's messages.
Because the messages themselves were ridiculous!
What did she mean by "I'm really upset" and expecting to be taken along for dinner?
Wasn't that way too self-centered?
When An Wuyang got into the driver's seat, Xia Yuqing spoke up. "An classmate, my cousin got dumped!"
"That fast?" An Wuyang was surprised.
Hearing his response, Xia Yuqing knew he wasn't surprised Xu Zixuan had been dumped either.
"It really was fast." Xia Yuqing sighed. "That middle-aged man was pretty decisive."
Middle-aged man?
Right, right!
So Xia Yuqing didn't even remember the guy's name, did she?
Though, to be fair, Xia Yuqing probably didn't need to remember his name.
An Wuyang teased, "Your cousin's game is too weak. She seems to think everyone's an idiot. That middle-aged man might be a clown, but he's not a stupid dog!"
Niu Fenjin was indeed a clown, but who said a clown had to be a stupid dog?
It was just Xu Zixuan being too full of herself.
When Xu Zixuan didn't get a reply from Xia Yuqing, she couldn't help but call via voice.
Xia Yuqing glanced at the incoming voice call and muttered, "This cousin of mine... ugh."
An Wuyang agreed. "She really is something else."
In modern social etiquette, if a message goes unanswered, you don't send another!
Did she really think the other person hadn't seen it in this age of never being without a phone?
Did she need WeChat to add a 'read' receipt before she'd give up?
As for whether not replying is rude...
Put it another way: if someone's in a room and you knock but no one answers, is it ruder to keep knocking or not to open the door?
Now do you get whether it's the person not replying who's rude, or the one who keeps messaging?
Xia Yuqing turned her phone's ringtone all the way down to ignore Xu Zixuan's voice call. She didn't like Xu Zixuan, and now that Xu Zixuan had volunteered that she was heartbroken and in a bad mood, why would Xia Yuqing rush over to be a punching bag and a sounding board?
Was she crazy?
Half an hour later, An Wuyang drove up to the entrance of Zhuyu Garden and casually asked, "Can you carry all this stuff?"
Xia Yuqing felt a flutter of hesitation. What if I said I couldn't carry it, then used that as an excuse to ask An Wuyang to walk me home?
But wouldn't inviting him to her place come off as too forward?
In the end, she could only answer firmly, "Don't worry, An classmate, I can handle it."
It was barely anything!
Just four sets of Lululemon clothes and a pair of dance shoes. Even with the shopping bags, it weighed less than five jin. Who couldn't carry that?
An Wuyang nodded. "Then I won't see you off. I've got something to take care of in a bit."
"Stay safe," Xia Yuqing said, then got out of the car, opened the rear door, and lifted out a few shopping bags before waving goodbye to An Wuyang.
An Wuyang waved back, then gently pressed the accelerator. The BMW M3's engine rumbled low, and the Bixihui body slowly pulled away.
Xia Yuqing watched the car until it disappeared around the corner, then turned and headed home.
Inside the BMW M3's cabin, An Wuyang received a notification from the Happy Life System.
'Ding!'
'Random event [I'm B-King!] has ended.'
'Event requirements: Completed.'
'Gift value amount: 5570 yuan.'
'Target satisfaction: Xia Yuqing 90%.'
'Secondary target envy/jealousy level: Xu Zixuan 99%.'
'Based on the combined gift value, target satisfaction, and secondary target envy/jealousy level, the host receives the following two rewards:'
'1. Gift value amount randomly multiplied by 1 to 999 times in cashback.'
'2. Expand the Bitter Orange Tree planting area at the Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base by 2000 mu.'
Special notes:
A: Reward 2 requires meeting the preconditions for expanding the Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base.
B: Only the Bitter Orange Flowers from the Tianjingyan Medicinal Herb Planting Base have the effect of eliminating dullness and awakening fairness.
An Wuyang quickly scanned the system feedback as he drove.
"Holy shit?" he couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Because this reward was way too generous!
Reward 1 was a minor issue—after all, a mere 5570 yuan, even at the maximum 999 times cashback, would only be 5,564,430 yuan.
Sure, Five Million might seem like a lot to an ordinary person, but to An Wuyang, a 'mere' Five Million was nothing special.
The real prize was Reward 2!
