149: Marriage Calculation
Jiang Ying and Xiao Qiyue immediately hailed a taxi nearby.
"Master, just follow the taxi in front," Jiang Ying said with a smile.
She was ready to watch a good show.
She wanted to see how Chu Yunxuan would brag.
In the other car.
"Ding… Please proceed to Riverside Pedestrian Street, Host."
The System's prompt came from his mind.
Chu Yunxuan wanted to see how amazing this System could really be.
Alright, then this Young Master will do as you say.
"Where are we going?"
Xi Chuxue asked softly.
"Master, to Riverside Pedestrian Street."
Chu Yunxuan said.
Riverside Pedestrian Street was the most prosperous area in Tianhua City.
"Alright."
Chu Yunxuan and Xi Chuxue sat in the back seat.
"I'm treating you today, so just follow my arrangements," Chu Yunxuan turned to Xi Chuxue beside him and said.
"Okay." Xi Chuxue nodded slightly.
"Why are you wearing pants today?" Chu Yunxuan glanced at her and asked.
Xi Chuxue: "…"
Don't you know why she's wearing pants?
Don't you know what you did when watching the movie last night?
Although Xi Chuxue had taken a liking to Chu Yunxuan.
She was, in essence, still a very conservative girl, even a bit old-fashioned.
"I just felt that pants suited today's outfit better," Xi Chuxue said.
"Indeed, it looks very good."
"Thank you," Xi Chuxue said softly.
The driver smiled and said, "Are you two a couple? You truly are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."
"Hahaha, thank you," Chu Yunxuan said with a laugh, going along with it.
"Oh, young man, I just took a look at you, and you're truly handsome! No wonder you found such a beautiful girlfriend. I guess even Chu Yunxuan, Tianhua City's number one handsome guy, might have somegap on you."
Xi Chuxue: "…"
"Hahaha, Master also knows Chu Yunxuan?" Chu Yunxuan asked.
"Who doesn't know Chu Yunxuan? He's also a young hero of our Tianhua City, who risked his life to save the people of Class 3 at Tianhua University. A few days ago, he even used One Sword Slaying Demon Emperor to save hundreds of thousands of people. Which girl isn't infatuated with him? Oh, don't even get me started, my daughter, she hasn't even seen his face, but she's head over heels in love with him all day long, saying she won't marry anyone else."
"Hahaha, really?"
Driver: "Yes, it's a headache, but how can we possibly aspire to someone like him?"
Xi Chuxue revealed a slight smile, glanced at Chu Yunxuan beside her, and then deliberately said:
"But I heard his reputation wasn't particularly good before, especially with many ex-girlfriends."
Chu Yunxuan: "…"
Damn it!
The driver said, "Oh, young lady, you're a bit short-sighted there, huh."
"Isn't it like that?" Xi Chuxue asked curiously.
The driver said, "He's so outstanding, isn't it normal for many girls to like him? And isn't it normal for him to have many girlfriends?"
"Yes," Xi Chuxue replied.
"So the question is, everyone knows he has many ex-girlfriends, and they heard he was unfaithful and so on, yet they still flocked to pursue him. Why is that?"
Xi Chuxue blinked her beautiful eyes, then shook her head slightly.
"The reason is simple. All those stories about unfaithfulness or two-timing are just rumors. Rumors, once spread, only get wider and more exaggerated."
Chu Yunxuan nodded repeatedly: "That's right."
Driver: "Right? The simplest logic: why do those girls he supposedly abandoned still have a special fondness for him and linger around? The Dean's granddaughter, for example, even threatened her own life to prevent the Dean from reprimanding Chu Yunxuan?"
"Young lady, think about it, as a girl, if your boyfriend was truly terrible, would you still be willing to protect him?"
Xi Chuxue did not speak.
The driver continued, "If one or two girls are like that, you could say they're blindly in love, but if all girls are so devoted to him, can you say he has a problem? Are all the girls in this world fools?"
"That makes sense." Xi Chuxue nodded.
"Right? Because they know what a good person Chu Yunxuan truly is. So, all those bad rumors are just rumors. He doesn't even care about his own Life Qi to save people; his character is absolutely beyond reproach, and he is definitely someone worth entrusting your life to."
"So, I actually strongly support my daughter liking him, it's just… alas, I feel like we're not worthy of him."
Chu Yunxuan looked at Xi Chuxue and said, "That's indeed the case."
"It seems I did have some inappropriate views before," Xi Chuxue mumbled.
"Hahaha, right?"
Soon, the car stopped outside the pedestrian street.
The two got out of the car.
"Young man, here's your receipt."
The driver handed Chu Yunxuan the receipt.
Chu Yunxuan glanced at it casually.
There was a line of text written on the back of the receipt.
"Go shopping on Riverside Pedestrian Street and wait for a fortune-telling old man to appear."
Chu Yunxuan: ???
Then he looked at the driver.
The driver winked at him.
Chu Yunxuan: "…"
Damn it!
Was this driver arranged by the System?
No wonder he said so many good things about him.
"Ding… First step: Improve Xi Chuxue's negative perception of the Host and lower her guard – Completed."
Chu Yunxuan: "…"
"Let's go, don't all you girls like to go shopping? How about I accompany you for a bit of shopping?"
Chu Yunxuan said to Xi Chuxue beside him.
"Okay."
The two walked into the pedestrian street.
Chu Yunxuan instinctively wanted to hold her hand.
It must be fine.
"Ding… Please, Host, absolutely do not hold hands right now."
The sudden System prompt made Chu Yunxuan retract his hand.
Why?
Yesterday, during the movie, let alone holding hands, he even touched her leg.
Now he can't hold hands?
He should be able to hold hands.
She'd probably agree too, right?
Forget it, he'd follow the System's instructions.
Otherwise, the System might say he didn't follow its instructions, leading to failure, and then it wouldn't acknowledge the debt or give him compensation.
The two walked forward, chatting as they went.
Behind them.
Jiang Ying and Xiao Qiyue stealthily followed them through the crowd.
"Look, look, they didn't even hold hands! Yesterday he lied to me about holding hands and touching legs, hahaha." Jiang Ying laughed gleefully.
Xiao Qiyue also smiled and nodded: "We can pretty much confirm he was definitely faking it yesterday."
"That's for sure. Come on, let's follow."
Ahead, Chu Yunxuan saw a fortune-telling old man sitting by the roadside.
"Fortune-telling, fortune-telling! No charge if it's not accurate!" the old man called out.
"It's him." Chu Yunxuan stopped, calculating in his mind.
Xi Chuxue also stopped with Chu Yunxuan and looked over.
"Oh, what do you two want to have read?"
The fortune-telling old man looked at the couple in front of him.
"OurMarriage," the girl said happily, pulling the boy's hand.
The boy said, "Oh, come on, this is all a scam."
Girl: "Just tell us."
Old man: "Ten yuan."
"Here."
Then, the old man looked at the palms of the two.
Then he stroked his beard.
"Great Master, how is it?" the girl asked curiously.
"Cough, young lady, I only speak the truth."
"Please tell us."
The old man said, "This boyfriend of yours is not a good choice."
"Oh, I'll be damned! Old man, are you looking for a beating?"
The boy rolled up his sleeves.
"Why not?" the girl asked.
"Riverside Road Dafuhao, topped up five thousand yuan. Tianning Road Haozu Dao, topped up thirteen thousand yuan. Do you think that's a good choice?"
Upon hearing this, the boy was startled.
"What?"
The girl looked at her boyfriend.
"F-fake! Fake!" the boy quickly said.
The old man stroked his beard: "Whether it's fake or not, why don't you two go to those two places I mentioned right now, go to the front desk, and enter his membership information to see if it exists?"
"Let's go! Come with me!" The girl angrily pulled the boy, wanting to verify.
"Come on!" The girl dragged him.
"Damn it! So what if I topped up? You damn idiot old man, are you looking for a beating?"
Saying that, the boy directly threw a punch at the fortune-telling old man.
But the old man, sitting on the bench, instantly teleported, his figure retreating half a meter.
"Holy crap! He's a master!"
At this, the surrounding people, who had originally thought him a Jianghu swindler, were all shocked.
"You! You've disappointed me too much!"
The girl slapped the boy, then cried and ran away.
Chu Yunxuan: "…"
"Great Master, Great Master, tell my fortune!"
"Great Master, tell mine too!"
"Great Master, Great Master!"
"…"
A crowd of people surged forward.
Xi Chuxue stood there, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, pondering something.
Then she looked at Chu Yunxuan and asked, "When he teleported just now, did you feel the power of space?"
Chu Yunxuan shook his head.
"I didn't either, so how did he manage to teleport?"
Chu Yunxuan cleared his throat, looked at Xi Chuxue beside him, and asked, "Should we get our fortune told too?"
"What for?" Xi Chuxue asked.
"OurMarriage."
Xi Chuxue paused.
