New Event: Global Dungeons Daily Releases

“Hello, Miss Xia.”

Liu Qingqing offered a soft, seemingly easy-to-bully smile.

She was now certain that this arrogant, brainless person in front of her must be an acquaintance of Lu Xing’s.

“Is Miss Xia a classmate of Lu Xing?” Liu Qingqing asked sweetly.

Xia Yeshuang frowned, her exquisite eyes filled with dissatisfaction. She found this “steamed bun” of a girl in front of her more and more irritating.

“So what if I am?”

“I’ve already told you my name. A polite person would introduce themselves in a situation like this, wouldn’t they?”

Her name…

Liu Qingqing fell silent.

This Xia Yeshuang was Lu Xing’s classmate, but she wasn’t sure just how close they were.

If she gave her real name…

What if Xia Yeshuang mentioned it while chatting with Lu Xing? What would he think?

After considering it, Liu Qingqing decided she still couldn’t reveal her true name.

So, she said softly, “I’m Lu Xing’s senior sister. You can just call me ‘Senior Sister’ as well.”

“By the way, Miss Xia, you called me over. Is there something you need?”

Senior sister?

Xia Yeshuang suddenly let out a small sigh of relief.

The Haicheng History Museum had recently received a new batch of artifacts. She had seen the promotion mentioning reliefs and wood carvings.

Xia Yeshuang recalled how the gifts Lu Xing had given her were all wood carvings…

Perhaps Lu Xing just likes this kind of thing?

Unfortunately, she had to wait for Lu Xing at school from Monday to Friday. Today was finally Saturday, so she had rushed to the museum immediately.

She hadn’t expected to actually run into him!

God knows how much she had wanted to tear the two of them apart when she saw that woman standing next to Lu Xing earlier.

If it weren’t for the fact that a middle-aged man was with them and she had to show some restraint…

She would have charged in long ago!

Thankfully, she hadn’t been impulsive.

It’s just a senior sister.

Xia Yeshuang’s anger subsided. “It’s nothing. I just felt like calling you.”

The smile on Liu Qingqing’s lips froze.

She had never met such a self-righteous, arrogant, and ill-tempered person.

You’re the one who called me out.

Can’t you at least make up a decent excuse?

“Okay.” Liu Qingqing didn’t want to waste time on this temperamental young lady, so she turned to leave. “Then I’ll be going.”

“Wait.”

Xia Yeshuang wasn’t satisfied. She grabbed Liu Qingqing’s wrist and asked again.

“Is your relationship with Lu Xing just a simple ‘senior and junior’ thing?”

“Let go.”

Liu Qingqing broke free from Xia Yeshuang’s grip. She was annoyed now. With her cute face turning blank, she spoke coldly.

“What business is that of yours, Miss Xia?”

“You called me over for no reason and asked such nonsensical questions. Don’t you think that’s very rude?”

“You ask me what my relationship with Lu Xing is. Then may I ask, Miss Xia, what is your relationship with him?”

Xia Yeshuang seemed to have been waiting for this exact question.

She instantly puffed out her chest and said smugly:

“I have a ‘lip-friendship’ with Lu Xing.”

“Well, I also have a pure friendship with him—”

(TL: Chún (纯 – Pure) and Chún (唇 – Lip) sound similar.)

Wait.

Liu Qingqing was halfway through her sentence when she caught Xia Yeshuang’s expression and realized something was wrong.

“Are we thinking of the same ‘pure’ friendship?”

Instantly.

Xia Yeshuang’s exquisite face loomed close to Liu Qingqing’s.

The blonde girl lightly touched her soft red lips and flashed a proud, triumphant smile.

“Right here.”

Liu Qingqing stared blankly at the gesture.

Those lips…

In an instant, Liu Qingqing’s gaze darkened. She stared coldly at the gloating Xia Yeshuang, a hint of something “sickly” flashing in her eyes.

“Listen to me…”

Xia Yeshuang was never merciful when facing an opponent.

If the senior sister in front of her were Lu Xing’s official girlfriend, she might have shown some restraint.

But this woman wasn’t.

When facing a rival, she had to be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

“You’re just his senior sister.”

Xia Yeshuang’s lips curved into an arrogant, heartless smirk.

“I’ll give you a million. Stay away from Lu Xing.”

She was no “Little Golden Retriever.” She was a ferocious lion. When an enemy invaded her territory, she would tear them to shreds.

Her cute and delicate side was reserved only for Lu Xing. After all, if her temper were actually good, there wouldn’t be so many terrifying legends about her at school.

Liu Qingqing laughed out of sheer anger. Her sweet, soft persona could no longer be maintained. She stared at Xia Yeshuang and said:

“A million?”

“Too little?”

Xia Yeshuang didn’t care. She wasn’t afraid of greed; she was only afraid of someone with no weaknesses.

The greedier this senior sister was, the easier she would be to handle. She continued to raise the price.

“Two million then. Three million.”

Liu Qingqing took a step forward, her eyes filled with mockery. She enunciated every word:

“I’ll give you five million. Get out of Lu Xing’s sight.”

Silence—

The arrogant smile vanished from Xia Yeshuang’s face. She stood up straight and glared coldly at Liu Qingqing.

“Who are you telling to get lost?”

“I’m telling you to get lost.”

Liu Qingqing showed no fear. She had completely dropped her “sweet girl” act, her eyes radiating pure aggression.

The two of them stood toe-to-toe, their gazes clashing.

The surrounding tourists immediately slowed their pace to “0.25x speed,” wishing they could pretend to be passing by while stealing a few more looks.

“Whoa, I can practically see the sparks flying!”

“Oh my god, is this what they call ‘like repels like’?”

“I hope I get two beautiful girls fighting over me in my next life.”

“Fight! Fight! Fight!”

The crowd of onlookers grew. Before security could arrive, Liu Qingqing and Xia Yeshuang both stormed away.

Xia Yeshuang walked while letting out a sarcastic laugh.

“You’ve admitted defeat, haven’t you? If you’ve lost, just take the money and go. Stay away from Lu Xing.”

Liu Qingqing didn’t even look at her, saying calmly:

“You can’t even tell the difference between feeling embarrassed and admitting defeat. No wonder Lu Xing doesn’t like you.”

“What did you say?” Xia Yeshuang grabbed Liu Qingqing’s wrist in shame and anger, gritting her teeth.

“Who gave you permission to say that? Does Lu Xing like you then? If he liked you, would you still be introducing yourself as just a ‘senior sister’?”

Being called out so directly, Liu Qingqing’s expression became extremely ugly.

Seeing her rival upset made Xia Yeshuang feel much better. She let go of the wrist with a look of disgust and said from her high horse:

“Regardless, stay away from him in the future.”

“I’m so sorry. Lu Xing currently lives at my house.”

“You!”

What?!

A wave of fury rushed to Xia Yeshuang’s head. She was about to explode when Wen Lingxiu’s face suddenly flashed in her mind.

In an instant.

She wasn’t angry anymore.

Lu Xing was clearly staying at Wen Lingxiu’s house. This “senior sister” was obviously just lying to save face.

Tsk.

So she’s just another pitiful girl with a stubborn mouth.

Wait.

Why did I say ‘another’?

That wasn’t important. Xia Yeshuang was calm now. She even looked at the senior sister with a hint of sympathy.

“Say whatever you want. I have a ‘lip-friendship’ with Lu Xing.”

“In modern society, that means nothing at all!”

“Oh? Well, I have a ‘lip-friendship’ with Lu Xing.”

“Don’t people kiss children’s cheeks? It’s perfectly normal.”

“Oh? Well, I have a ‘lip-friendship’ with Lu Xing.”

“Only a broken record repeats the same thing. You only say that because you have no other memories with him, right?”

“Oh? Well, I have a ‘lip-friendship’ with Lu Xing.”

“…Can’t you say anything else!”

“Oh. I’ve kissed Lu Xing.”

Liu Qingqing, died of anger.

…
