Chapter 170

Xiao 6 projected the latest chapter of the manga in front of Bai Xuechao’s eyes.

This time, the cover image of the latest chapter was Ji Chuanze.

The gray-haired boy held a sheathed Hengdao, his cold gray eyes sharp as he stared at the semi-transparent threads diagonally in front of him. His Hengdao was striking the threads, but the threads in the picture were not broken. Instead, they bent and folded into a V-shape along the force of the Hengdao.

【Wuwu, another day of screenshotting the cover~ This manga has so many handsome guys and beautiful girls, their good looks are so reassuring. (Observing secretly)】

【Is Ji Chuanze’s weapon a Tang Hengdao? He came empty-handed before, I thought he didn’t use a weapon.】

【Usually in this situation (carrying a weapon), it means their special ability isn’t for attacking, right?】

【Just came back from reading the appendix. Let me tell the sister above, his special ability is more of a support type, but it’s very useful. (Thumbs up)】

The beginning of this chapter of the manga did not continue from the end of the previous chapter, giving Ji Chuanze more screen time. Instead, the scene shifted back to Bai Xuechao and Yuan Lan.

The first panel was a shot of Bai Xuechao sitting on a sofa chair. The camera was slightly tilted down, looking like it was from Yuan Lan’s perspective.

Bai Xuechao looked up at the camera with no expression on his face, calling Yuan Lan “Mr. Yuan” and asking him to maintain a normal social distance, also saying that he didn’t like people getting so close to him. In the speech bubble next to him, the word “normal” was bolded. Just by looking at the text, you could feel that Bai Xuechao had put a heavy emphasis on this word.

【Yo yo yo, you don’t like people getting close, but you let Brother Hao sniff your neck, you little brat. (Smiling knowingly) (Pointing)】

【Sisters, am I opening the manga the wrong way? Why is it secretly giving me candy at the beginning? Isn’t this a hot-blooded shonen manga? (doge)】

【Ji Chuanze: I told you, I get a death glare every time I get close to you!】

【Xuexue hasn’t even given a death glare yet, waiting for 1 death glare. (Laughing and crying)】

【Normal social distance, hahaha, what’s considered normal, and what’s not? Is a negative number normal or not? (Little face all yellow)】

【Sister above, you can drive on this broken road too?! This is not a no-man’s-land, hey!】

The next panel was a close-up bust shot of Yuan Lan. He was pouting, looking like a sulking child.

Below his dialogue box, the author had specially marked the tone as “gentle.” He asked Bai Xuechao to call him Yuan Lan, because he felt that “Mr. Yuan” made him sound old, and he also said that he had just graduated with his Ph.D. and was a student not long ago, so he shouldn’t be much older than Bai Xuechao.

【Damn, the expression on this Apocalypse Society boss’s face when he pouts is so cute (.) He also has long white hair, hiss… all the buffs are stacked, let me stir-fry it (ni)】

【But they’re both white-haired. Looking at their faces, I feel like Axue is more beautiful. There’s a kind of beauty that transcends gender, hehe, I like it.】

【Damn it! Is Yuan Lan a green tea! Can’t you just say you just graduated! Why do you have to mention your Ph.D.! Are you showing off! Wuwu, I just didn’t do well on my monthly exam, why does it feel like every manga is talking about studying! (Defenses broken)】

【Good grief, the mental state of the sister above is worrying. (Wiping sweat)】

【Being able to graduate with a Ph.D. means his IQ should be pretty good, right? Is the prophet post on the forum going to come true?! (Rubbing hands)】

【I want to know Yuan Lan’s supervisor’s expression when he finds out Yuan Lan is the leader of a villain organization. (bushi)】

In the manga, Yuan Lan propped his hands on the armrests of the sofa chair Bai Xuechao was sitting on, lowering his head to get closer to Bai Xuechao. The camera angle for this panel was from the side. After this panel, there was a close-up of Yuan Lan’s smiling expression. He said, “Isn’t social distance meant to be broken?”

【Wow, I’m going to make this my motto! Isn’t social distance meant to be broken! (Making a grand entrance)】

【Social terrorist. (Confirmed)】

【Are you all quitting sugar?? The composition of the two of them, this posture, I’m shipping them so hard, okay! (Inhaling oxygen)】

【Bai Xuechao: I feel like our distance is a bit ambiguous.】

【I hate guys with no sense of boundaries.jpg】

Next, Bai Xuechao pushed him away, stood up, and stumbled away from him.

Then, the two began a conversation that was like a chicken talking to a duck. They both asked their own questions, and no one answered the other’s question. In the end, it was Yuan Lan who took a step back first, answering Bai Xuechao’s question of “what do you want to do here?” He mentioned that he had played a game with Gong Ting on December 31st last year and said that Gong Ting had lost his freedom to him.

Bai Xuechao asked, “So?”

Here, the manga gave Bai Xuechao two consecutive panels. The first one showed him moving backwards, but his body was a little tilted as if he was unstable. The small words next to him also marked “slight sway.” In the second panel, he was sitting on the very edge of the sofa chair, his eyelids half-lowered.

【Ah no, the manga always gives me shots of Xue’s uncomfortable body, I’m so scared. (Sweating profusely)】

【Where is Ji Chuanze! Return quickly!!】

【These two were asking their own questions earlier, there’s a strange sense of tacit understanding (doge). Are they really going to become fated rivals?】

【Baby above, did you also see the prophet post? Hahaha, let’s exchange a secret signal: wholesale fated rivals?】

In the manga, Yuan Lan’s eyes widened slightly, but his expression showed no concern. He asked Bai Xuechao if he was okay and if he wanted to go to the hospital.

Bai Xuechao didn’t answer and asked again, “So?”

Yuan Lan smiled and looked at the large screen on the wall. Bai Xuechao also followed his gaze.

The next panel was a close-up of the large screen. The screen showed the rewards in the prize pool. Next to this panel, there was a small overlapping panel, and the content inside was the value of Gong Ting’s “personality.” It was originally 80 million, but now there was a parenthesis behind it with 10 million written in it.

【Jade Liquor’s personality has depreciated. (No mercy)】

【I feel like Xuexue is so assertive. Even though he’s not feeling well now, he’s repeated the question twice in a firm manner, making Yuan Lan answer him first.】

【Because he has no special ability, Gong Ting’s personality is on a fire sale, with a price drop of 70 million??】

Turning the page, it was still the same composition of the large screen, but this time it was a close-up of a phone screen.

The screen showed that he had already traveled 3.6km according to the navigation and was about to reach his destination.

The next panel was Ji Chuanze’s grim face.

He put his phone away and walked towards a milk tea shop on the side of the road that was still open. Even at this late hour, there were two customers waiting at the window for their milk tea to be made.

The cashier at the milk tea shop saw Ji Chuanze walk over and stand in front of the window. She took the initiative to say, “Hello, what would you like to drink? The menu is here. You can scan this code when you pay to get a coupon.”

The manga had a panel here of Ji Chuanze looking at the menu, as if he was thinking about something.

The next panel was a flashback.

Bai Xuechao was in a place that looked like an office, sitting behind a desk, his arms stretched forward and resting on the desk, the tips of his snow-white hair falling on the desktop. Because it was from Ji Chuanze’s perspective, his beautiful red eyes were looking at the camera, and it was also like he was looking at the reader.

“I want to drink milk tea,” he said. “I want Roasted Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea, and Soy Milk Jade Kirin… oh, and I also want Jasmine Snow Bud Milk Tea.”

【Holy moly, wifey, you’re drinking so much at once?】

【This scene looks like an office. He’s so young and already working? Axue isn’t actually the young master of some wealthy family, is he? Hahaha.】

【Oh my god, is the prophet post on the forum really going to come true? Is it really a bodyguard company?】

【If Xuexue looked at me like that, let alone three cups of milk tea, even thirty cups would be fine! (Hands on cheeks)】

【Is Ji Chuanze suddenly remembering this because he’s going to buy what my Xue likes? (doge)】

【Tsundere, so funny. He says, ‘where am I going to buy it in the middle of the night,’ but then he leaves right after, and although he slams the door, he still eagerly follows the navigation to the brand Axue ordered last time, under the pretext of being afraid of him looking for trouble. Now that he’s at the milk tea shop, he has to remember what Axue used to drink. Is he afraid of ordering something Axue doesn’t like? What reason are you going to use to convince yourself this time, Little Ji? Is it that if Axue doesn’t like it, he won’t drink it, and then it will be a wasted trip~ (doge)】

【Hahaha, the sister above, your bullet comment almost flooded my screen! I like your writing, please write more, thank you!】

The flashback ended, and Ji Chuanze averted his gaze from the cashier, his expression a little reluctant and a little annoyed: “Roasted Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea, double sugar.”

“Okay.” The cashier began to operate the machine to place the order and print the ticket.

Ji Chuanze suddenly said, “Wait.”

The manga inserted a small panel here, which was a shot of Bai Xuechao’s frowning expression, saying, “I don’t like the pearls in milk tea.”

Ji Chuanze added, “No pearls.”

The cashier said, “Okay.”

【Ji Chuanze, you really, I’m crying… you remember every one of Xuexue’s preferences. (doge)】

【Is this what a tsundere is? I love it, I love it, hahaha.】

【A few minutes ago: (very fierce) Where am I supposed to buy it in the middle of the night! A few minutes later: Roasted Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea, double sugar, no pearls.】

【Damn it, where can I buy a Ji Chuanze like this?】

Bai Xuechao, who was reading the manga, was a little surprised.

He didn’t expect that the scene of Ji Chuanze buying milk tea that day was like this. The other party had kept everything he said in mind and bought it completely according to his preferences.

Unfortunately, at that time, he had paid no attention to that cup of milk tea. Now that he thought about it, he could still remember the scene of the light brown milk tea spilling all over the floor.

Xiao 6 was super moved, holding a code-like red heart and said, “Wuwu, Ji Chuanze is so nice.”

Bai Xuechao didn’t say anything, just continued to read the manga.

The scene changed and returned to the Dream Game City.

“How did my little toy think of exchanging his ‘personality’?” Yuan Lan’s expression seemed very interested in this. He analyzed Gong Ting and finally guessed, “Did you defeat him with cheating skills and then persuade him to exchange his ‘personality’?”

Bai Xuechao’s expression was cold. He said that if Gong Ting didn’t want to, it would be useless no matter how he persuaded him. And why did he exchange it, didn’t you know the reason?

Yuan Lan said, he probably knew.

【Riddle makers, get out of Dream Game City! (bushi) Can you two just speak clearly!】

【Why did Gong Ting exchange it? Isn’t it just that he lost to Bai Xuechao and wanted to win it back?】

【Looking at Yuan Lan’s state, I feel like he might really become Axue’s fated rival. They already have a sense of hostility!】

【Bai Xuechao: Wholesale fated rivals, ten yuan for three.】

Yuan Lan walked towards Gong Ting, who was sitting next to Bai Xuechao.

In the next panel, his large hand was choking Gong Ting’s throat.

He said that not only did he know the reason, he also knew that Gong Ting had exchanged his special ability as well.

【No, choking him? Bro, are you going to kill your subordinate??】

【Jade Liquor: I feel like my neck is in danger in my coma.】

【It’s over, Gong Ting’s special ability is now in Axue’s hands. Are they going to fight?】

【Is my wifey the next one in danger? =A=】
