Chapter 9: It turns out that you are the game designer three
I also laughed out loud, rolled my eyes at Xuan Yixin, and said with a smile while holding Ranxi's arm, "Of course boys can't join girls shopping. Let's go."
Xuan Yixin watched the two of us walk out helplessly and sighed heavily. Seeing him feeling frustrated and unable to vent his anger, I felt even better.
Ranxi is not only a goddess and a top student, but also a great shopper. She is well organized and efficient, unlike other girls who shop while browsing. She knows what she wants to buy and goes straight to the point. She also knows where there are discounts and activities, and how to combine and buy the most suitable items. She calculates everything clearly. I followed her like a little follower, and in a blink of an eye, I was holding a lot of shopping bags of all sizes. It was only an hour, but Ranxi's shopping was like a war.
"Oh, we've bought everything. I'm so tired. Let's go have a cup of coffee." Ranxi also had a bunch of shopping bags in her hands. She dragged me into a coffee shop near the mall, ordered a cup of American coffee, then put the shopping bags in a row and counted them.
"Ranxi, is this how you always buy things?" I asked her with my eyes wide open, my heart full of curiosity.
"Yes, I always think about what I want to buy before I go out. Then when I get to the place, I'll browse the event signs to see what events and discounts are available today, calculate how much discount I can get for the things I want to buy, and then start shopping. This is efficient and saves money. And I set a time for myself, and try to buy everything within an hour, so that I don't have the energy to wander around." Ranxi drank coffee with a smile on his face.
"You're really amazing. I always shop first before deciding, and sometimes I buy a lot but they're not what I want most." My latte arrived, and looking at the beautiful heart-shaped latte art on the coffee, I suddenly thought of Xuan Yixin. The corners of my mouth tilted and I smiled again, then I picked up the cup and took a big sip. It tasted so sweet.
"There's no other way. One reason is that I don't want my family to bear too much of my expenses, and the other is that I want to save time to do more meaningful things. My family is very ordinary, so I can only work harder to move towards my dream." Ranxi said this without any sadness, and his face was still filled with smiles.
"Ranxi, I really want to learn from you." I said sincerely. Compared with Ranxi, I am really not doing my job properly.
"Everyone's life is different. Don't talk about learning from someone or envying someone else. I think it's enough to be yourself and be happy! In fact, I envy you too, but my life is different from yours. I enjoy my life and work hard to prove that I can shine. Xiaoya, I always feel that you can shine without any effort." Ranxi said the last sentence and sighed softly.
I bit my lip and lowered my head. Will I shine? I am not as pretty as Ranxi nor as hardworking as Ranxi. If it weren’t for my great-grandfather’s family background, what would I look like? I couldn’t imagine it. I clenched the coffee cup tightly: “I won’t shine, Ranxi, you are the one who shines.”
"You don't have to comfort me. If I could shine, how could that brat Xuan Yixin ignore me for so long?" Ranxi smiled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I called you here today because I have something to tell you. Who says I'm so smart?" Ranxi suddenly showed a meaningful smile.
"What's the matter?" I asked curiously.
"About Xuan Yixin, that brat thinks he's so smart and plays with everyone else. How could I like him? I'm really... short-sighted!" Ranxi took out his cell phone, laughed exaggeratedly, and handed it to me.
"Dating strategy game?" I screamed, " Oh my god, you are playing this game too!"
"What a crappy game. I felt something was wrong as soon as I started playing. What's the point of pursuing game strategies in real life? I followed the game missions to investigate, and while someone was pursuing others, there were also people pursuing me. And they were all from Imperial School. How could it be such a coincidence?" Ranxi blinked at me and continued, "Of course I'm interested in Xuan Yixin, so I paid special attention to him. He's such an outstanding person, so there must be people pursuing him. And then I found you. I'm sorry, I did follow you, but I just wanted to study the game, and I didn't mean any harm!" Ranxi changed to a very formal expression and apologized to me.
"I know you mean no harm. What did you find out?" I looked at Ranxi with wide eyes. What secret is behind this game?
"I found out that you are trying to pursue Xuan Yixin. In fact, Xuan Yixin is also trying to pursue you." Ranxi said to me while holding his chin.
"What? Xuan Yixin is trying to pursue me?" I was shocked again, but I didn't feel anything. I thought Xuan Yixin's target was Ranxi!
"Yes, but I felt that Xuan Yixin's approach was not right, so I went to Honor Company to do a part-time job. Finally, I found out that Xuan Yixin was the honorary director of Honor Game Company, and he has developed a game since joining Honor." Ranxi took a sip of coffee, raised his eyebrows and smiled at me.
"You're not saying that the love strategy game was developed by Xuan Yixin, are you?" I asked in disbelief. If it was really done by Xuan Yixin, then he really had set up a big plan. Was it just for me?
Ranxi nodded: "Yes, I just figured it out now. He planned all of this. I am just an innocent participant. I was so happy when I received the game notification. It's really ironic. We were all fooled by Xuan Yixin."
"How abominable! He actually hid it from me for so long!" I said indignantly. When I thought about how I racked my brains for those system tasks, Xuan Yixin might be laughing in his heart! He had been calculating against me from the beginning, and he pretended to know nothing!
"Do you want revenge?" Ranxi lowered his voice and the smile on his face became brighter.
"Of course I do. Xuan Yixin is so hateful, and I'm just a clown!" I said gritting my teeth.
"Actually, Xuan Yixin's Achilles' heel is you. If there is one person who can harm Xuan Yixin, it can only be you. That's all I have to say. I have a flight tomorrow. Will you come to see me off?" Ranxi winked at me cutely .
"Of course, I already consider you as my very good friend!" I held Ranxi's hand and nodded heavily.
On the way home, I received a call from Xuan Yixin, and I hung up without thinking. This abominable guy has deceived me for so long, fooled me for so long, humph, I won't pay attention to him easily, I must punish him!
The next day I showed up at the airport on time, but I didn't expect Xuan Yixin was there too. Ranxi seemed to be in a good mood and ran towards me affectionately when he saw me.
"Xiaoya, I'm so happy that you two are here to see me off to the airport." Ranxi hugged me.
I ignored Xuan Yixin who was standing beside me, and just looked at Ranxi and said with a smile: "You have to take good care of yourself. Study is important, but health is more important. Contact us more often if you have nothing to do."
"Yeah, I know. It's almost time. I'll go in." Ranxi walked towards the boarding gate with her suitcase and a smile on her face. When she was almost there, she suddenly turned around and gave Xuan Yixin a smile. That smile looked very mysterious.
I glanced at Xuan Yixin out of the corner of my eye. Xuan Yixin seemed confused. He looked at me, and I immediately shifted my gaze and turned away. He followed me.
"Xiaoya, what's wrong with you?" Xuan Yixin asked with concern.
I didn't answer, I just walked quickly.
"Xiaoya, did I offend you? Or did Ranxi say something to you?" Xuan Yixin asked a series of questions.
I ignored them all and walked to the airport gate. Luo Yin's car was already parked there. I got in quickly and told Luo Yin to drive quickly. Seeing Xuan Yixin wanting to chase but hesitating, I was still very angry.
"What's wrong with you guys now?" Luo Yin asked me with a smile.
" Nothing, I don't want to pay attention to him," I said angrily.
"He is such a cunning man, so good at calculating others. I have suffered a great loss and was played around by him. Humph." The more I spoke, the angrier I became, and the more I didn't want to pay attention to Xuan Yixin.
"Ah? Suffering a loss? Do you want me to teach him a lesson?" Luo Yin said with a smile.
"Come on, I have to handle this problem myself." I hugged my chest, looked at the scenery outside the window, and thought about how to deal with Xuan Yixin.
