I'll Add Points To All Things - Chapter 759
Chapter 759: Lonely Like a Wild Ghost
Su Yang asked curiously, “Who is it?”
Chu Xia turned on the back camera on her phone and aimed it at her bed.
There was a laptop on her bed, and on the screen was a picture.
In the picture, a handsome man was sitting at the bar drinking. His hair was messy, and three buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his handsome neck and well-developed chest.
His eyes were like those of a prince, filled with an endless indescribable pain. Hence, anyone who saw him would want to console him.
Looking at that familiar side profile, Su Yang blinked his eyes continuously. Then, he exclaimed in surprise, “Xiaoming? Pui! Qu Xuan?! Him?!”
Qu Xuan was the younger brother of Su Yang’s English teacher, Qu Xiaomeng.
As one of Su Yang’s only few friends in Shanghai University, the two of them had a good relationship, chatting and playing games from time to time.
The only disadvantage about this guy was that he always wanted to “kidnap” Su Yang to become his brother-in-law, plus he would always think that Su Yang could not see through his thoughts.
Apart from that, this man was a typical scumbag who would flirt with multiple women. However, later on, he met his true love, Xue Ya.
Xue Ya was a freshman at the liberal arts academy and was close friends with Guo Xiaoying.
In fact, Qu Xuan fell in love with her at first sight. After that, under Su Yang’s matchmaking, the two of them secretly got together and began their secret relationship. From time to time, they would secretly show signs of affection towards each other.
‘I was actually feeling happy that Qu Xuan’s no longer a playboy sometime ago. Who knew that he would end up like this after a few days…’
Actually, Su Yang was right, he had just interacted with Qu Xuan a few days ago. Half a month ago, Su Yang and Qu Xuan had even played games together.
Just as Su Yang was letting his imagination run wild, Chu Xia spoke up, “Su Yang, you’re surprised too, aren’t you? Teacher Qu’s younger brother actually fished for girls at a bar when he was still in school. Oh my God, is this considered a family misfortune?!”
Su Yang was confused.
‘Is that the main point?’
However, on second thought, he understood what had happened. ‘Chu Xia and Qu Xuan aren’t that close, so she doesn’t know about Qu Xuan’s relationship.
‘But… Surely something must have happened to Qu Xuan, right?’
At that thought, Su Yang, who had always been a loyal friend, could no longer remain idle. Instead, he said to Chu Xia, “Chu Xia, don’t tell Teacher Qu about this first. I’ll talk to Qu Xuan first and ask him what’s happened.”
Chu Xia replied with an “oh”. She blinked her big, cute eyes and said, “Oh right, my best friend told me that Qu Xuan has been drinking at the bar for three to four days in a row, getting drunk every night.
“My best friend went to the bar to relieve her frustration from having just broken up. Then, the two of them sat next to each other and started chatting.
“According to her, Qu Xuan was very capable. He could easily make a girl laugh and flirt with them easily. Plus, he has an outstanding appearance, so he’s able to chat up a few different girls in one night.
“After my best friend became interested in him, she secretly observed him. In the end, she realized that he seemed to have something on his mind. When he was flirting with girls, he was smiling brightly, but when there was no one around, he would reveal the photo… Hmm…”
Su Yang added, “He looked half-dead, didn’t he?”
Chu Xia shook her head. “No. My best friend said it was the look of a melancholic prince.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘This realistic world where everyone would judge a person by appearance…
‘F*ck.’
After that, Su Yang reminded Chu Xia to keep it a secret again before he hung up. After that, Su Yang sat on the bed for a while before calling Qu Xuan.
“Du… Du… Du…”
The phone rang for more than 10 seconds. Then, just when Su Yang thought that Qu Xuan would not pick up, the phone rang.
Qu Xuan’s clear voice came from the other end of the phone. “President, what’s wrong? Why are you looking for me so late at night?”
Upon hearing Qu Xuan’s voice, Su Yang felt as though sunlight was shining on him.
‘He doesn’t seem depressed at all though…
‘What’s going on?’
However, he remembered that Chu Xia’s best friend said that Qu Xuan would only feel depressed when he was alone. Hence, Su Yang probed, “Yes, I have something to tell you. Where are you?”
Qu Xuan smiled and said, “Where else can I be? Of course I’m at home. Did you think I was at the bar?”
Su Yang was confused.
‘Judging by his tone, he sounded like he was telling the truth. But, at the same time, he sounded like his frivolous self.
Su Yang asked, “Are you really at home?”
Qu Xuan said, “Of course. Should I turn on the video call function?”
Su Yang replied, “No need. Have a good rest.”
“Huh?
“Then, why are you looking for me, President?”
Su Yang smiled. “It’s fine. I’ll tell you tomorrow.”
After that, Su Yang hung up.
After hanging up, Su Yang thought for a while and asked Little Deeny, “Little Deeny, where is Qu Xuan’s cellphone now?”
A moment later, a map appeared on the glass screen in front of Su Yang with a red dot on the map.
Then, Su Yang kept on zooming in until the red dot was above a residential area…
…
At the Red Forest Bar, Qu Xuan walked out of the bar with a mature-looking girl in his arms, reeking of alcohol.
The two chatted and laughed, seeming as if they were going to be staying out for the entire night.
At that moment, the girl looked up and her eyes glimmered. “Wow, what a beautiful car.”
Hearing this, Qu Xuan also looked up and saw a familiar fiery red Ferrari parked outside the bar.
Under the light from the bar, the Ferrari was like a burning flame, attracting everyone’s attention at night.
Beside the Ferrari stood a young man in a t-shirt and pants as he looked at Qu Xuan expressionlessly.
The young man had a tidy face and he was holding the car key. Obviously, he was… Su Yang.
The expression on Qu Xuan’s face froze for a moment before he shook his head and laughed bitterly. Then, he said to the girl beside him, “You go ahead and leave first, I have something to attend to.”
The girl first looked at Su Yang, then at Qu Xuan. Then, her eyes were filled with curiosity and desire.
However, when she noticed that the two of them were not looking at her and were merely looking at each other, she could only gesture to Qu Xuan to have him call her. Then, she took a long look at Su Yang before walking away in her high heels.
Seeing that the girl had left, Su Yang said to Qu Xuan, “Get in.” Then, he opened the car door and got in.
Qu Xuan did not resist and followed suit.
After Qu Xuan got into the car, Su Yang closed the car window and cut off the outside world. Then, he said calmly, “Well done, you even threw your phone at home. I couldn’t find you even if I tried.”
Qu Xuan smiled. “What? That’s not true, I only brought out my other phone.”
Su Yang smiled. “That cautious? Are you a spy? Are you one of the good guys or the bad?”
Qu Xuan sighed and rubbed his temples. There was no more happiness on his sunny face at all at that moment. Instead, there was only fatigue as he said, “Nope, but I’d wish I was an undercover agent though. At least, I would be able to live more comfortably than I am now.”
Then he asked, “I thought I was careful enough already. So, how did you find me?”
Su Yang shrugged. “A friend saw you, coincidentally.”
Qu Xuan spread out his hands. “Looks like it’s just my bad luck.
“Originally, I didn’t want to disturb or trouble you, but it looks like I’ve ended up doing just that.”
Su Yang looked at the glimmering traffic light in front of him and asked, “What’s the matter? What’s the issue that you’re trying to hide? Have you broken up?”
Qu Xuan shook his head and fell silent, causing the entire atmosphere in the car to fall silent as well.
After some time, Su Yang sighed and started the car.
After that, the sports car sped along the midnight roads of Shanghai.
Soon, they arrived at Su Yang’s villa.
After that, Su Yang stopped the car and walked to the villa through the garage. Then, he threw a towel to Qu Xuan and said, “Wash up and sleep. The second room on the right is the guest room for male guests.”
With that, Su Yang left him alone and went upstairs to sleep.
Qu Xuan placed the towel over his head and stood in the living room for a long time. Because it was night time, the lights in the villa were not switched on. Instead, only the night lights by the wall were flickering.
Hence, Qu Xuan was lost in darkness, lonely like a wild ghost…
…
The next day, Su Yang got up, washed up, and went downstairs.
At that moment, Qu Xuan was exercising in the gym on the first floor. Looking at his bulging muscles while exercising, and then at his sweaty but sunny and handsome appearance, Su Yang really wanted to give him a few cuts on his face. ‘D*mn, he’s so handsome that it makes me jealous.’
After exercising, Qu Xuan wiped his sweat with a white towel and walked out of the gym. When he saw Su Yang eating breakfast, he greeted him with a smile. “Morning, President.”
Su Yang yawned and stuffed a mouthful of fried dough sticks into his mouth. “Morning.”
The two of them were like roommates who had lived together for many years. Naturally, they did not mention a word about last night.
To men, they probably did not want to say it if they remained silent.
‘There are some things that men would want to bear alone.
‘So, as his brother and friend, I should respect his choice.’
Therefore, Su Yang did not even use the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass]. Instead, he only told Chu Xia to leave the matter alone and pretend as if nothing had happened.
After the meal, Qu Xuan tidied up the guest room and bade Su Yang goodbye before going to school.
Looking at his sunny face when he left, Su Yang felt as if everything that had happened the night before was like a dream…
If Su Yang did not believe that he still remembered what happened last night, he would have suspected that he had schizophrenia…
After Qu Xuan left, Su Yang returned to the virtual space and picked up a book. ‘It’s never too late to accumulate servers. “Wandering Planet” is about to finish filming, so I’ve got to prepare in advance.’
At the same time, Zhao Licheng also talked to the big shots of the other districts about the conditions, but he was not in a hurry to make a decision. After all, it was the time for Jiadian Group to wait for the price to rise, so there was no need for them to take the initiative.
On the other hand, Young Master Ying’s father had decided on the locations of the three exclusive shops. They were all the most luxurious shops in Shanghai, and what stood out was their classiness.
As a five-star genius, Zhao Licheng had outstanding business abilities. He knew that the whole world’s attention was on Jiadian’s glass phone.
Therefore, the most important thing at that moment was to successfully sell the glass phones.
As a professional manager under Su Yang, he had to pave the way for Su Yang so that when Su Yang wanted to sell his phone officially, he could sell it directly.
Therefore, after confirming the location, Zhao Licheng started to sign the contract, plan the renovation, and contact the construction team. Everything was in preparation.
Unsurprisingly, Jiadian Group’s each and every move were also known by both local and foreign forces.
After the press conference, Jiadian Group had opened three Jiadian Mobile retail branches in Shanghai. Hence, it was obvious that they were preparing to sell their glass phones.
Thus, this attracted the attention of these forces.
While they were trying to contact Su Yang, they were also paying attention to the sales of Jiadian’s glass phones. After all, seeing is believing. so they had to get themselves a unit to try it out and verify.
Apart from that, they also wanted to see if this cellphone was really as awesome as Su Yang had claimed.
Apart from that… They were also wondering if they could reverse engineer the technologies involved after getting their hands on a unit.
This was because once they were able to crack the technologies involved, they could also produce the cellphones that transcended its time…
…
Thus, a day passed quickly.
That night, after Su Yang had his dinner and finished reading another book, he called for Spirit Building and left the castle.
Su Yang chatted with Spirit Building as they walked through the tall grass.
“Is there anything wrong with this grass?”
A golden light condensed in Spirit Building’s eyes as he lowered his head to scan it. He said nonchalantly, “There’s nothing abnormal. There’s just some strange spiritual energy.”
Su Yang asked, “Is there a difference from before?”
Spirit Building said, “The spiritual energy has become more active and the quantity has also increased.”
Su Yang nodded.
The two of them only stopped when they reached the spot where Janet had transformed into a cocoon of light.
For safety’s sake, the two did not get too close. Instead, they stood some distance away as they looked at the green cocoon.
Looking at the green cocoon of light, the golden light in Spirit Building’s eyes grew brighter. Then, an infatuated expression appeared on her face. “It’s so beautiful.”
Hence, Su Yang looked at her in confusion.
Spirit Building then said, “That cocoon of light seems to be giving birth to a life. The spiritual energy is flowing non-stop and there are wonderful changes happening inside.”
Su Yang also focused his spirit energy into his eyes to see what was so special about it.
As a result… He could not see much.
Because in his eyes, all he saw was just a ball of spiritual energy.
He did not seem to have Spirit Building’s detailed “Spiritual Vision”. In fact, even his [Eye of Origins] did not show any notification at all.
‘I suspect that it might have something to do with my spiritual energy…
‘Spiritual energy is very likely an existence from a higher dimension. Because Spirit Building has had more than 80 years of accumulation, her spiritual energy is bursting. Therefore, it’s possible that half of her body is in a higher dimension, and she can see what’s happening in the higher dimension.
‘As for me… I’ve got too little spiritual energy, so I can’t see through it.
‘Since I can’t see anything, it’s only natural that my [Eye of Origins] can’t analyze it as well.
‘This is frustrating…
‘If only I could increase my spiritual energy faster.’
Just as Su Yang was thinking about this, the countdown on the cocoon slowly came to zero.
As the countdown reached zero, the cocoon started to beat like a living heart.
One, two, three…
The cocoon carried on thumping for 60 seconds before it suddenly burst into a bright green light!
The green light then shot into the sky like a pillar of energy, which later exploded in the air like fireworks.
With a “Boom”, green light spots floated in the sky before it fell.
