The next day, after having more than enough sleep, I woke up at 9:30 am. Looking at the time, I suddenly jumped out of bed, remembering that there was an important meeting today. [Hero’s Mound]’s Guild Master will be coming to check on his two Deputy Chiefs and I, who was Lin Wan Er’s bodyguard, should prepare myself as well. Even if I lose to him as a person, it does not mean I would lose to him in spirit!
I hurried and got up. After washing up, as I looked at the clothes in my closet while my face couldn’t stop twitching.
“What happened?” Tang Gu looked at me and laughed.
I pondered and asked: “Glasses Bro, today I am meeting an important person. His position is far from ordinary, the CEO of some big company, so I don’t want to look too shabby in front of him. Given these conditions, what should I wear?
Tang Gu pushed his glasses up and chuckled: “Love Rival?”
“NO!” I denied fiercely.
“Then isn’t it easy? If the other party is the CEO of a company, even if you dress nicely, it won’t change a thing. You can’t outdo him. You have to think outside the box. I would suggest wearing something casual.”
“Casual wear?”
“Yup, or wear something slightly more formal, for example…There’s a VERSACE store across the street, although it is slightly more expensive than average. If you buy a whole suit, it should be around this much!” He held up 2 fingers.
Stunned, I asked: “2000?”
“Dream on, 20,000!”
“Damn it!”
My heart was aching to the point of dying. I clenched my fist and said: “Isn’t 20,000 too much? Forget it, I’ll just wear my old outfit…”
Tang Gu laughed: “Don’t. I’m guessing you are going to meet someone related to Lin Wan Er. Otherwise, with your ‘Xiao Yao Attitude’ you wouldn’t even be nervous. Just go, the outfits in VERSACE are not too bad, you should just buy an outfit and a new pair of shoes. With your handsome looks, you definitely won’t lose to anyone.”
I pursed my lips and hardened my heart: “Alright then…20,000, then let it be 20,000…”
……
Hurrying out the door, I entered the clothes store nearby. I purchased a casual black outfit with a price tag of RMB 24,000, and then I bought a new pair of shoes for another 800 RMB. I felt like my heart was bleeding, all this money came from the equipment and gold that took me great pains to acquire.
But when I thought about it more carefully, it’s actually fine. No matter what, I would eventually need this type of outfit. In the future I may need to carry out a job that would require me to dress up as a celebrity to confuse the enemy. At that time, these clothes could take the limelight.
I was continually prepared myself until 11 am when my phone rang. It was Lin Wan Er:
“Li Xiao Yao, are you ready yet?” She asked, chuckling.
I nodded: “Yup, I’m ready. Has Q-Sword arrived?”
“He’s coming in a minute. Come to the girls dormitory quickly, Dong Cheng and I will come down shortly. We’ll go to the school gate together and welcome him…”
“Okay!”
……
Walking downstairs, I rushed to the girls dormitory. Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue wore their normal school outfits and looked like normal students. I, on the other hand, was the only one who had overdressed!
“Wow…” Dong Cheng Yue looked at me while I was walking towards them. Her pretty little face suddenly blushed and she didn’t even dare to look at me anymore, while pulling Lin Wan Er’s arm she said: “Wan Er, today Li Xiao Yao… Didn’t that guy…suddenly become more handsome…”
Lin Wan Er also looked at me dazed, her small red lips softly moved: “I…I don’t know…”
I coughed once: “Are you guys ready? Shall we go?”
“Yes…” Lin Wan Er snuck a look at me again, her face blushing red.
Dong Cheng Yue stared at me hard, laughed softly and said: “Xiao Yao, today you changed into a VERSACE outfit? Dressed like that, becoming so handsome, are you going to a marriage interview later? Wuu… looking at you like that, my heart is beating a little faster…”
I said: “Get a hold of yourself…:”
Dong Cheng Yue: “Sure…”
Lin Wan Er: “…”
……
While waiting at the school gate, barely 5 minutes later, a black Land Rover slowly drove by and pulled over to the road side.
“Ka!”
The car’s door opened and a proud looking figure stepped out from the car. The impressive looking, handsome young man wearing a brown outfit looked around 25. A light smile appeared on his face as he walked straight to us. He looked at Lin Wan Er and Dong Cheng Yue and laughed: “Indeed, you both are just as beautiful as in the game. You are Cang Tong, and you are Cang Yue, right?”
Lin Wan Er laughed and nodded: “Guild Master, good afternoon!”
Q-Sword laughed heartily: “In the past I heard that Cang Tong was the Lin Wan Er that sang ‘Heart of Time’. Now that I know it really is you … I remember that I was crazy about you for quite some time…”
Lin Wan Er laughed softly: “Guild Master, you praise me too much, this…”
She turned and pulled me to her side, her pink tinted wrist twirled around my arm. She laughed: “This is Xiao Yao Zi Zai, you should have met him before..”
Q-Sword stared at Lin Wan Er’s intimate attitude towards me as shock flashed across his eyes, but quickly a warm smile appeared on his face “Hello, Xiao Yao Zi Zai. I know your name, it’s Li Xiao Yao. It’s a good name. Turns out you really are Wan Er’s friend in real life, the gossip in the forum was not baseless.”
I nodded and smiled: “Hello, Q-Sword, Bei Cheng Feng, you are just like what the rumors described you, very handsome!”
Lin Wan Er shook my arm: “Enough, will you guys stop talking? Let’s find a place to eat, I’m starving since I didn’t eat breakfast this morning.”
Q-Sword laughed: “I know a good restaurant with delicious cuisine nearby, shall I take you guys over there?
