Chapter 178: 174 White lotus flowers vomit blood!

Jiang Xuan listened to her and turned the steering wheel at the intersection, "Then I’ll drive to your place."

Xia Ye nodded at her chin, very casually.

**

Xia Family.

The doorbell rang, and Mother Wu was preparing lunch when Xu He went to open the door.

She opened the door with a beaming smile, "Little Tiangao..."

She stopped mid-sentence when she saw the person standing at the door, her smile slightly retracted, and she quickly changed her tone, "Oh, it’s Yourong who’s come."

Outside, Xia Yourong was wearing a luxurious dress that Qiao Yufen had bought for her before the release of the third mock exam results, highlighting her status at the old house, "Mom, I took advantage of the weekend to come and see you. Is my sister not at home?"

Actually, since the results of the third mock exam had come out, she had not been living comfortably at the old house.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have thought to come here to seek a sense of presence.

Xu He smiled and said, "Well, mom will go check in the kitchen."

Xia Yourong very considerately said, "Mom, I’m not very hungry, don’t bother yourself."

Xu He wasn’t busy with her, "Your sister is bringing a friend home for lunch later, and your second brother also said he’d come home to eat. If you’re not hungry, it’s just as well to wait a bit longer. Mom wants to wait for both of them to get back before starting the meal."

Xia Yourong felt extremely awkward, "Ah... okay..."

A stepmother is never like a real mom!

Meanwhile, at a TV station in Capital City.

Jia Mingmei (the agent) was taking Jian Manman to the makeup room, and Jian Manman did not look very pleased, "Why do we keep clashing with Xia Xing’s schedule? Have I not made myself clear? I don’t want to be tied to him any longer in the future."

Jia Mingmei knew that her negotiations with the Jiang’s hadn’t been going well recently, and her mood had been very low. She coaxed her like a doting grandmother, "Your interviews are one after the other, not together; you might just bump into each other in the makeup room. However, I just saw Xia Ge and his agent leave, so if we go in now, we won’t run into them."

Jian Manman massaged her temples, continually hitting a wall with president Jiang, yet her ex insisted on haunting her like a persistent ghost. And to make matters worse, her ex’s sister was now with Jiang...

Lately, she felt like she was out of luck, even getting her teeth stuck when drinking cold water.

Once in the makeup room, Jian Manman scanned the interior.

The room was set up for celebrities, a spacious room with only two large makeup stations, one facing east, one facing west, arranged in a rather nice environment.

At the east-facing station, the table was covered in makeup products, and on a small chair beside the main seat sat a girl with glasses, meticulously checking the makeup supplies. Her back to them, they couldn’t see her face; they could only notice her long, slender legs. But seeing what she wore, Jian Manman knew she was no celebrity, likely Xia Xing’s makeup artist.

Jia Mingmei brought Jian Manman’s makeup artist with her.

Jian Manman quickly withdrew her gaze and settled into her seat facing west, glancing at her own makeup artist, "Please be quick, I’m in a hurry."

It would be best to finish before Xia Xing returned, to avoid him seeing her and, like last time, insisting on speaking with her, entangling her problems.

Xia Xing was downstairs in the coffee shop with Pang Shen, buying coffee. He originally just wanted a cup of coffee but then noticed some cute pastries and ended up buying some.

Right now, he and Pang Shen were drinking coffee while waiting for the pastries to be ready.

Pang Shen liked his drinks hot, and he had already finished his cup. Since they couldn’t smoke in the coffee shop, he chewed on a straw in his mouth.

"Seriously?," Pang Shen said, "Is what you told me last time true? Can you really get Night God to be the examiner for our Youth Training Camp this year? Have you been in touch with Night God?"

Xia Xing tapped his distinctly knuckled, slender fingers lightly on the coffee cup, "Sort of."

Pang Shen stared at his face for a while before scooting his chair closer, "Don’t tell me you’ve already met him? Is he handsome? Tall?"

Xia Xing was afraid that Pang Shen would harass Little Tiangao once he found out she was the deity of the night, which could affect her college entrance exam, so he still hadn’t revealed her true identity to Pang Shen.

It’s rare for esports players to come across girls, so Pang Shen naturally assumed she was a boy.

When Pang Shen asked him in such a manner, Xia Xing rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment, "Pretty tall, pretty handsome."

He wasn’t lying.

Little Tiangao was definitely tall among the girls, and indeed, sometimes Xia Xing would find himself taken aback by her unintentional expressions.

Pang Shen now coveted her even more, wishing he could immediately sign the deity of the night to his club.

Seeing him drool like a hungry wolf, Xia Xing reminded him, "She can’t join our team yet, we have to wait until July."

Pang Shen asked, "Why? Don’t let other teams snatch her away."

Xia Xing leaned back, "She’s been quite busy recently."

Pang Shen raised an eyebrow, "What’s so busy that she doesn’t even have time to talk about signing a contract?"

Xia Xing sipped his coffee, "College entrance exams."

"High..." Pang Shen squinted his eyes and bit down on the straw forcefully, "If you don’t want to say, never mind, but don’t fob me off with such a boring excuse."

Clearly, this deity of the night is an experienced player who’s been gaming for years, how could she still be taking college entrance exams?

"Xia God, your desserts are all packed," a uniformed waitress carrying two boxes of desserts walked over, her expression timid and shy, not daring to meet Xia Xing’s eyes.

Pang Shen could tell at a glance, she was a fan of Xia Xing, otherwise, she wouldn’t be calling him Xia God.

"Thanks," Xia Xing took the boxes of desserts and stood up to leave.

It was only when he turned away that the waitress dared to boldly watch his retreating figure, her tiny hands cupping her cheeks, her heart nearly leaping out.

The tall and handsome Xia God holding the cutely colored dessert boxes was a sight to kill!

It was a sweet onslaught!

When the door to the makeup room was pushed open again, Jian Manman had only half-finished applying her makeup; one eye was lined while the other was not.

Seeing that it was truly Xia Xing who entered, although she felt irritable, she involuntarily turned her body to the side so that Xia Xing could not see the side of her face without eyeliner.

She caught sight of the desserts in Xia Xing’s hand and frowned immediately.

Xia Xing obviously knew she would be there today, his hands holding the desserts were the best proof.

She used to love eating desserts.

She squeezed her hand, her expression somewhat embarrassed, why did the man she liked not even deign to give her a proper glance, yet the man whom she had decided to give up on, kept being so nice to her?

It was truly vexing!

Never mind, getting desserts from him was better than him dragging her into a conversation. Perhaps because Jiang Xuan’s attitude towards her was so unfriendly, Jian Manman felt a soft spot for Xia Xing today and decided to accept the desserts after some thought.

She turned around, ready to say thanks.

But when she turned back, Xia Xing wasn’t heading her way at all, but went straight to... the makeup artist!

He didn’t see her at all!

Xia Xing naturally placed the desserts on the little makeup artist’s table.

Gu Mingzhi, just finished organizing all the makeup supplies, her eyes sparkled, "For me?"

Xia Xing’s voice was somewhat tender, "Mhm, heard you saying you were hungry earlier."
