The Rhine Guild Club’s meeting room was also bright.
However, the meeting had ended a long time ago.
Shi Xu was alone in the room. He stroked his chin and chuckled merrily to himself.
At that moment, someone opened the door to the Rhine Guild Club.
A mature-looking young man of average height walked in. The young man saw Shi Xu smiling to himself, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Why is he smiling so stupidly to himself?
The young man walked up to Shi Xu and was about to ask Shi Xu what had happened, but the latter beat him to the punch and asked, “Captain, what would you do if you found out that someone secretly likes you?”
The young man’s jaw dropped.
Although Li Ang was Sequence #2 in the Radiance Hundred, his mature appearance and conservative mannerisms resulted in him being unable to attract partners.
He had no concept of what being in love meant. Not only had he never held a girl’s hand, but he had never even entertained such thoughts.
What am I supposed to tell you when you ask me what to do about a secret admirer? How am I supposed to know? I should be the one asking you how I should go about attracting a secret admirer.
Li Ang coughed, and his face remained expressionless.
“Oh? So the reason behind your moronic laughter is that your heart belongs to someone now,” said Li Ang seriously.
Shi Xu immediately jumped up and said, “Don’t get things mixed up, captain. Someone’s heart belongs to me, not the other way around.”
As he spoke, Shi Xu’s voice became softer, and his face was as red as a tomato.
Someone else might have realized that Shi Xu was telling a bald-faced lie.
However, Li Ang was too busy thinking about how he should go about attracting a secret admirer for himself to see the truth.
When Li Ang saw how strongly Shi Xu protested, he quickly offered him words of comfort.
“If you like her back, you should accept her feelings. Otherwise, don’t force yourself.”
Shi Xu sighed heavily and replied, “But she sent me a lot of money. I don’t know how to repay her!”
Li Ang felt his hand itch.
He looked at his hand and imagined slapping Shi Xu to death.
Nonetheless, he quickly composed himself and thought, It’s bad enough that I don’t have a secret admirer. I can’t believe that a girl sent him money too. Why is he so lucky? How dare he sigh when he’s rolling in luck?
Li Ang pretended to be blase as he asked, “How much money did she give you?”
“50,000,000 Radiance dollars,” said Shi Xu sadly.
Li Ang started to cough and splutter vigorously.
Shi Xu turned and said to Li Ang, “Captain, you should rest in the guild club tomorrow if you aren’t feeling well. Let me lead the team in your stead in the Allstar Match!”
Li Ang hurriedly stopped coughing and said solemnly, “No, no need! I feel fine. She must be loaded if she’s willing to give you 50,000,000 Radiance dollars!”
Li Ang would never allow Shi Xu to take his place in the Allstar Match.
Rhine Guild Club was the S Tournament’s defending champion. As the captain, Li Ang’s presence was the highlight of the Allstar Match.
He might even be able to find a girl for himself who would write him a love letter. Then, he would be able to end his 24-year long bachelorhood with glory.
Shi Xu instinctively replied, “I had no idea that Zhao Xiaochun is so wealthy. I can’t believe she shelved out 50,000,000 Radiance dollars too!”
The moment that the words left his lips, Shi Xu knew that he had revealed something impressive.
Shi Xu had been busy preparing for the S Tournament and only managed to enter his live-streaming room on Star Web this morning after being away for a month.
He had been about to start live streaming when he received a surprise box.
Shi Xu rarely live streamed, but he knew that people rarely placed a large sum of money inside surprise boxes, which were gifts that did not require repayment.
However, he had opened the surprise box to find 50,000,000 Radiance dollars.
Shi Xu’s eyes had widened to the size of saucers upon noticing that it had come from his fellow Radiance Hundred member, Zhao Xiaochun.
Surprise boxes could only be sent after one had live streamed for a year.
Shi Xu organized his thoughts and landed on the conclusion that Zhao Xiaochun had been secretly in love with him for a year.
He thought about the flirtatious encounter between him and Zhao Xiaochun in the abyss dimensional rift.
Shi Xu decided that Zhao Xiaochun had tried to attract his attention with those words, but he had not picked up on her feelings.
Initially, Shi Xu did not give much thought to Zhao Xiaochun.
However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that a single man like him had no reason to reject an innocent girl’s feelings.
Shi Xu’s fantasies started to increase and expand as more scenes appeared in his head.
He had even picked out the name of his daughter when he had been smiling stupidly to himself.
As he imagined her plump pale skin, Shi Xu could not help but smile and chuckle to himself.
When Li Ang heard Shi Xu mention Zhao Xiaochun, he did not immediately process the information.
By the time he came to his senses, Li Ang’s jaw had dropped so far it almost hit his feet.
After a moment, Li Ang doubtfully said, “Isn’t Zhao Xiaochun someone who prioritizes looks? I thought she’s only interested in handsome men.”
Li Ang immediately realized that he had misspoken.
He was about to change the topic when he heard Shi Xu say solemnly, “Zhao Xiaochun likes me because she’s only interested in handsome men.”
Li Ang was stunned by Shi Xu’s overwhelming confidence.
He felt that both of them were young men with mature appearances. Although he could not change his height, Li Ang was confident that his looks were comparable to Shi Xu’s.
Is it because he has a beard?
Li Ang touched his own chin and resolved to start growing a beard of his own.
The longer he stared at Shi Xu, the more he felt that he was an expert.
Besides this, there could not be any other reason Zhao Xiaochun would be willing to court Shi Xu by giving him 50,000,000 Radiance dollars.
“Shi Xu, Zhao Xiaochun will probably be at the S Tournament tomorrow. How about I be your wingman?”
Shi Xu shook his head and said mysteriously, “No need. She likes to eat. I’ve already opened a restaurant with the money she gave me.”
