Chapter 287: Good News, Ah No! Bad News

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yue Xin had heard and seen too much. She could even imitate Yi Chengxuan’s finger techniques and play a song. However, she only imitated the position and order of Yi Chengxuan’s moves. She didn’t have the emotions of Yi Chengxuan when he played, nor did she understand the meaning behind the song.

Yi Chengxuan had told her about it, but she felt that it was boring. Yi Chengxuan also realized that Yue Xin was not interested in music and quickly changed to something new.

This time, she learned to do paper cuts. She used scissors or a carving knife to cut patterns on pieces of paper. Yi Chengxuan’s paper cutting was especially good, which interested Yue Xin. At least she didn’t torture Yi Chengxuan for a week. (This referred to waking him up at 4 a.m. to tell her a story.)

But today, after Yue Xin arrived at Building No. 5, she heard a sad piece of news from Yi Chengxuan.

“Yue Xin… My dog ate your paper cutting.” Perhaps because he was in the wrong, Yi Chengxuan’s expression looked a little pitiful. He knew how much effort Yue Xin had spent on cutting the paper. Yesterday, she had almost finished. Today, she was down to cutting some details, but it was eaten by the dog. This feeling of failure was very uncomfortable. Yi Chengxuan knew it, so he felt so guilty.

However, Yue Xin didn’t seem to have any resentment towards the successful destruction of her labor. She looked at Yi Chengxuan and suddenly said, “If you let me touch your head, I’ll forgive your dog.”

Yi Chengxuan was speechless.

“I can, but can you let me know why?”

Yue Xin replied very quickly, “I keep feeling that your expression just now was like a puppy that did something wrong. It made me feel like patting your head.”

Yi Chengxuan felt very conflicted when he heard this answer, but since he thought of that, he had to show his sincerity in apologizing. As for that stupid dog, he would teach it a lesson another day!

“Pat it!” Yi Chengxuan lowered his head slightly at Yue Xin. His fine hair fell over his forehead, adding a hint of evil to his originally handsome face. Yue Xin reached out without hesitation and said as she rubbed, “I keep feeling that the current you isn’t the real you.”

Yi Chengxuan lowered his head. Yue Xin couldn’t see his eyes, but she could hear his slightly hoarse voice. “If you see the real me, I won’t have any bargaining chips… Also, be gentle. This is my hair, not dog fur.”

Yue Xin nodded and continued to rub his head vigorously. However, after bullying Yi Chengxuan, she never mentioned cutting paper again.

Yi Chengxuan also changed the paper cutting activity to making lacquerware after teaching a certain stupid dog a lesson.

“Lacquerware originated from the Warring States Period and flourished during the Han and Tang dynasties. It reached its peak during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The main craftsmanships were inlays, engravings, and…”

As in the past, Yi Chengxuan introduced Yue Xin to history and origins first, but Yue Xin saw the pair of red eyes on his hand. She pointed at Yi Chengxuan’s wrist and asked, “Is this lacquerware? You seem to be wearing it all the time.”

Yi Chengxuan was stunned. This time, his expression almost cracked. After a while, he replied, “Yes.”

Yue Xin sensed that Yi Chengxuan was in a bad mood, so she did not ask further.

In the afternoon, when Yi Chengxuan was about to train the dog, Yue Xin saved an overbearing dog that had bitten all over the Land of the Fallen. Who would have thought that from then on, this dog would stick to Yue Xin?

Life was so peaceful. After Yue Xin became the person in charge of Building No.

7, no one found trouble with her. Every day, she would go to Building No. 7 and Building No. 5. She ate and played with Yi Chengxuan without any psychological burden. This was because she knew very well that Yi Chengxuan would definitely ask for the corresponding remuneration from her.

One day seven months later, the warden personally went to the 36th floor of Building No. 7 to look for Yue Xin, saying that he wanted to give her something very important. In the end, he couldn’t find Yue Xin. He found a Hayne training on the 36th floor. The warden thought that he had run to the wrong floor and confirmed it several times. After confirming that there was no mistake, the warden flew into a rage from his assistant’s nonsense. Not only did he beat up the assistant, but he also scolded Alex, who was knitting on the 35th floor.

Alex was reprimanded for no reason. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. In a fit of anger, he brought all his savings to Building NO. 8 to vent his emotions. Fun fact: Physical monster Alex’s gambling skills were o. This led Yue Xin to learn the good news that Alex had lost his mattress when she returned to Building No. 7 from Building No. 5. Oh no, it was bad news!

As a qualified boss, Yue Xin said that she couldn’t let her employees not even have a mattress. She brought Alex back to Building No. 8 and swore to win back the mattress!

Alex knew about Yue Xin’s achievements in Building No. 8. He quickly complained, “Boss, they stole the sweater I knitted for you!”

Note that Alex was talking about snatching, not losing!
