Chapter 276 - 153: Teacher Gao’s Request: Must Be Satisfied Down to the Last Drop
Chen Xin was a little worried.
Even with Xu Yun at her place keeping her company, she was still a little worried.
Normally, getting donations from a whale reader and being liked was a good thing. Plenty of people would kill for the chance to latch onto a patron like that.
But she didn’t want it. Not one bit.
Ever since she’d sent "Angry Brother" a photo of herself, he hadn’t been acting normal.
Before, it was just a few "Silver Alliance" donations here and there. Now, he was starting with "Gold Alliance" donations at the drop of a hat. And today, he had dropped a whopping five million on her!
’Five million! What does that even mean?!’
The crucial part was that he’d also said he’d found her. How could she not be scared?
Chen Xin wanted to resolve this herself. What if the guy actually showed up, met Xu Yun, and they got into a fight?
Her mind conjured up countless bloody scenarios.
The more she thought about it, the more she scared herself, and she shook her head to clear it.
Chen Xin took out her phone and sent the guy a message, trying to probe whether he had actually arrived.
[Hua Zhu: Big shot, are you really here?]
The moment she sent the message, the screen of Xu Yun’s phone on the coffee table lit up and vibrated once.
Xu Yun had set a special notification for Chen Xin’s QQ, so it would alert him whenever she sent him a message.
He had just gone to the bathroom and didn’t take his phone with him.
Chen Xin just glanced at it, not thinking much of it, assuming it was a coincidence.
Seeing that he didn’t reply, she sent another message.
[Hua Zhu: Don’t come. I won’t see you.]
After she sent the message, Xu Yun’s phone screen lit up and vibrated again.
Seeing this, Chen Xin grew suspicious.
’How could it be such a coincidence?’
’Why does his phone get a notification the exact moment I send a message?’
’It couldn’t be...’
A very unlikely, yet very bold, idea suddenly popped into Chen Xin’s head.
Although it was rude to snoop on someone’s phone, Chen Xin wanted to open it and see if she was right.
But Xu Yun’s phone had a passcode, so she couldn’t see anything.
To confirm the bold suspicion in her heart, the clever Chen Xin decided to keep messaging the guy and watch Xu Yun’s phone’s reaction.
First, she tried sending an emoji.
Xu Yun’s phone screen lit up, then vibrated once.
"..." Chen Xin.
She sent another one.
Xu Yun’s phone screen lit up, then vibrated once.
"..." Chen Xin.
Again, and again, and again...
Chen Xin sent five emojis in a row, and Xu Yun’s phone lit up five times and vibrated five times.
Now, everything was crystal clear!
Once, twice, or even three times could be a coincidence.
But five times in a row? That couldn’t possibly be a coincidence.
Therefore, there was only one truth.
Xu Yun was "Angry Brother," her whale reader!
Chen Xin thought back to how she met Xu Yun, then thought about how she met "Angry Brother."
It seemed she had "met" Angry Brother before she met Xu Yun.
’Which means it wasn’t a case of Xu Yun intentionally creating an account just to mess with me!’
’Instead, he started acting this way after he discovered I was the author of the novel he was reading?’
’How did he find out?’
’Right, the photo!’
Inspiration struck Chen Xin. After "Angry Brother" had given her a "Silver Alliance" donation, she had sent him a photo as he requested.
After that, she met Xu Yun in Jiangcheng because of Aunt Zhang.
And it was also after that that "Angry Brother" started getting super generous, throwing "Gold Alliance" donations at her for no reason.
’So, to sum it all up, on the very first day we met, Xu Yun already knew I was the author of the novel he reads.’
’But he didn’t say anything!’
’He deliberately hid it from me and used the "Angry Brother" account to tease me whenever he felt like it.’
’All that stuff in the chat, like "I’ve found you" and "I want to sleep with you," was all part of Xu Yun’s scheme.’
’He just wants to sleep with me!’
’Hmph, that devious man!’
The thought of Xu Yun dropping five million on her today, only for the platform to take a 2.5 million cut, made her heart ache.
’What a spendthrift! He doesn’t treat money like it’s money!’
2.5 million... she had no idea how many books she’d have to write to earn that much.
As for the 2.5 million that ended up in her account, she definitely couldn’t accept it from Xu Yun.
But she decided not to rush to give it back to him.
’I’ll hold onto this money for him for now. If he ever runs into trouble in the future, it can be his emergency fund, a safety net.’
’Otherwise, with his personality, if I give this 2.5 million back to him, he’ll probably just squander it all the next day.’
As for this whole "Angry Brother" business, she decided not to expose Xu Yun.
Since he enjoyed hiding behind an alias, she might as well play along.
’The man I like deserves to be spoiled a little.’
Just then, Xu Yun returned from the bathroom. Seeing Chen Xin staring at him, he laughed. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"I just realized you’re getting more and more handsome."
"Is that so?"
Xu Yun touched his face and said, "In that case, would you like to give this handsome face a kiss?"
"In your dreams."
Chen Xin scoffed lightly, then said meaningfully, "By the way, while you were in the bathroom, I think your phone got some messages."
"Oh?" Xu Yun walked over, picked up his phone, and unlocked it. He saw they were all messages Chen Xin had sent to his QQ account.
The first few were normal, but why did the rest turn into a stream of emojis?
"What is it? Who’s it from?"
Chen Xin watched him with a knowing look and asked, deliberately, "Is it something important? If you have something to do, you can go."
"You don’t want me to keep you company anymore?"
Xu Yun put his phone away and asked in return, "You’re not scared anymore?"
"Not anymore!"
Chen Xin smiled. "I don’t think he can find me at all. I was just scaring myself."
