Coming of the Villain Boss! - Chapter 1005

Chapter 1005: The Part-Time Expert (21)

Si Chen exited the game. He threw away his game helmet quickly, as if there was some kind of terrible virus on it.

Si Chen’s heart was beating fast.

He felt like he was about to lose his breath.

He stared at the game helmet with fierce eyes. His hair clung to his cheeks, and sweat dripped down his tense chin.

Si Chen suddenly reached out a hand to support himself on the desk.

In the secluded and lonely greenhouse, there was only his quick breathing, like that of a dying man, and each breath was fighting against the god of death.

It was not clear how long had passed when Si Chen slowly slid to sit on the ground, his back against the desk.

His back had long since been wet, and the clothes clung to his body now, giving him an endless feeling of chills.

Yet Si Chen didn’t seem to be affected by the feeling. He looked at the muguet blooming next to him with dark eyes.

That smiling face flashed past his mind inexplicably.

Her smile had always been so shallow and light. Occasionally, it might change, and nothing else could be seen from that smile.

You could only know that she was smiling.

But…

Just now.

He seemed to have seen something different in her smile.

Si Chen couldn’t describe what the difference was, but his heart beat so fast that he wanted to… get closer.

Si Chen put his thumb on his lips and rubbed gently.

If he knew this…

He wouldn’t have used the newly developed game helmet.

It provided 100% true to reality.

He thought he even smelled her fragrance.

Pa!

When Assistant #1 came in, he happened to see his boss sitting on the ground decadently and slap himself facing that muguet.

Assistant #1: “…”

Assistant #1 prepared to go out quietly.

“Stop.”

Assistant #1 froze. “Mas… master?”

“Who cleaned the greenhouse? Why are there so many mosquitoes? Look, they’re biting me! Do you want your salary to be deducted?”

There were mosquitoes.

He thought his master had gone mad!

Assistant #1 answered hurriedly, “I’ll make them clean it again right away.”

“Hmph!”

Si Chen got up, picked up the game helmet on the ground, and left the greenhouse unhappily. “If there are mosquitoes tomorrow, you can pack up and disappear!”

Assistant #1 shivered. “Yes, sir.”

Then Assistant #1 and #2, as well as the cleaner, spent a whole night looking for mosquitoes in the greenhouse.

But they didn’t even find a leg of them.

…

Wang Heyang contacted A Soft Smile.

A Soft Smile touched the game helmets in the training room admiringly, just like the way Jiang Liu had.

Wang Heyang was very glad that there was finally a normal human in the team.

If there wasn’t a normal person, he would have gone crazy.

A Soft Smile: Master, Master, guess where I am?

A Soft Smile sent private messages to Ming Shu in the game constantly with excitement in her tone.

Wind He Rising: Where are you?

A Soft Smile: I’m in the training room. Master, this place is so big, and the environment is nice.

Wind He Rising: It’ll be your place then.

A Soft Smile: ???

What does she mean?

My place?

Afterward, A Soft Smile knew that other than Jiang Liu, no one else in the team would come here.

According to the others in NS Club, they’d only met Ming Shu and Jiang Liu and never met the rest of the team.

A Soft Smile: Master, where do you have training then?

Wind He Rising: We just play freely.

A Soft Smile: …

Her worldview seemed to have been upended.

Was it a normal team that she had joined?

…

After the preliminary round released its list of qualified players, the next would be the intermediary contest. All the teams had entered into closed door training, and only Ming Shu wandered around in the game all day, provoking a group of people to want to hack at her.

“Baby Ji He, a handsome guy is looking for you.”

Yun Yu came back with large and small bags of bought clothes, without snacks. Ming Shu responded disappointedly, “Who?”

Yun Yu put down the things and gasped, “It’s the handsome man you picked up last time.”

She rushed over to put her arms around Ming Shu’s neck. “Tell me, Baby Ji He, do we have a situation here?”

I picked up… Si Chen?

“Maybe he has taken a fancy on my beauty and intends to offer himself up.” Ming Shu put her hand away and got up to walk out of the dormitory.

“Baby Ji He, you’re getting more and more narcissistic!” Yun Yu shouted from behind Ming Shu.

Ming Shu shook away her bangs.

I was just born to be a beauty.

Si Chen waited downstairs. Perhaps the dormitory administrator aunt stopped him from going up, so he asked someone else to deliver the message for him.

Si Chen’s handsome face attracted the girls’ attention successfully.

But Si “Bandit” Chen wore a serious and ferocious expression and looked like he was here to fight, so no one dared to chat him up.

Ming Shu walked over with her arms crossed before her chest. “Mr. Si, what do you want with me?”

Si Chen showed his unhappy face. “Why didn’t you come to work?”

She hadn’t been seen for almost half a month in the company.

Ever since what happened that time…

“I don’t want to.”

Si Chen looked around. There were too many people watching, so he pulled Ming Shu away to talk somewhere else.

When there weren’t many onlookers around, Si Chen released her, but didn’t say anything for a long time.

Ming Shu had to ask, “Mr. Si, I’m quite busy, you know. What do you want?”

Si Chen remained silent.

And he became unhappier and unhappier.

Ming Shu took two steps back. “Mr. Si, if you want to beat someone, you don’t have to beat me up, right? I saved you.”

Si Chen: “…”

This sentence seemed to agitate Si Chen, and he suddenly raised his hand.

Ming Shu stepped further back. Is the little goblin going to take revenge?

But Si Chen just raised his hand and took off the red thread from his wrist, then he forcibly took Ming Shu’s hand and put it on her wrist.

Her wrist was of a nice size, and the red thread was slightly larger.

Si Chen made a new knot and looked up at her. But before meeting with Ming Shu’s eyes, he averted his gaze quickly and…

Left.

Left very fast.

He was almost running.

Ming Shu looked at the thread on her wrist. What was this? Was it edible?

He seemed to have worn this the whole time…

The red thread was bright; Ming Shu wondered what material it was made of. It swayed in the sun, and there were some broken lights flashing, even more dazzling than the brilliance of a diamond.

Ding!

The sound of a message.

Ming Shu checked her phone.

It was Qingqiu Zhong, urging her to come online quickly.

Ming Shu returned to her dormitory. Yun Yu was trying on her new skirt. She held the skirt in front of Ming Shu and twirled, winking at her. She looked cute and playful. “Baby Ji He, is this skirt cute?”

“No.”

Yun Yu was immediately upset. She’d spent so long over choosing it.

Ming Shu touched her head. “It’s not as cute as you.”

Yun Yu was startled at first, then her face flushed, and her ears and cheeks started burning.

When did Baby Ji He become so good at sweet-talking?

Yun Yu turned around to look at the mirror. After a moment, she tilted her head and asked, “Baby Ji He, what did the handsome man come for?”

“I don’t know, it’s strange.” Ming Shu sat down and put on her game helmet.

“You’re playing the game again?”

“Yes.”

“Didn’t your supervisor tell you to join a project? Why do you have so much time?” Yun Yu was confused.

“He threatened me to go by saying that he would jump off the building. But now I’m just waiting for them to fire me.”

Yun Yu: “…”
