Chapter 336: Chapter 336 Neither are Ordinary (1)_1
"Humph, do you think a little treat will buy me over? Impossible," Baibai said with a sense of honor. In its heart, however, it was thinking: "This treat is too little, I need to fight for a bit more for myself."
"Then let’s add a small bottle of fruit wine. That’s the absolute limit, I can’t do any more," Situ Xin knew all too well about Baibai’s little schemes. Nevertheless, she was quite willing to indulge Baibai’s whims.
"Okay, then it’s a deal. You mustn’t go back on your word, Master." The moment Baibai thought of the fruit wine that Situ Xin had recently brewed, which it had longed for, all of its previous resolve was thrown to the back of its mind. It couldn’t wait to teleport there and taste that delicious wine right now.
Seeing Baibai drool over the idea, Situ Xin couldn’t help but shake her head helplessly. Her contracted Divine Beast was indeed a unique existence, yet she actually adored Baibai for this.
Situ Xin thought about bringing out some fruit wine, as it had been so long since she had visited Dragon Society. Maybe she should block the mouths of Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang with it. Otherwise, the moment Liu Yuxiang saw her, he would surely complain about how heartless she was for not visiting them for so long, forgetting all about them.
With that thought, Situ Xin decisively decided that she had to take the wine with her to shut Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang up.
Situ Xin’s visit to Dragon Society was on a whim, without calling to notify Xia Yujie or Liu Yuxiang. In fact, Situ Xin’s actions were always spontaneous. Both Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang were long accustomed to her unannounced appearances.
However, the treatment Situ Xin received at Dragon Society, with no prior notice, was completely different from the treatment she got at Loo Jianxin’s company.
When Situ Xin appeared in the Dragon Society headquarters’ lobby with Baibai in her arms, the members would all stop in their tracks and respectfully greet, "Miss, hello."
Situ Xin, who previously hadn’t thought much of this, felt completely different today, especially when compared to her time at Loo Jianxin’s company. The difference was immediately apparent. For the first time, Situ Xin responded to those greeting her with, "Hello, everyone."
This simple "Hello, everyone," left several Dragon Society members stunned, wondering if they were hallucinating. The young lady had actually greeted them. Once Situ Xin entered the elevator, those who had come back to their senses pinched each other. "Am I dreaming just now?"
"Ouch, that hurts. So it wasn’t a dream?" "Wow, did the young lady really just greet us?" "That’s amazing, so blessed. The young lady actually greeted us."
Situ Xin had no idea that a simple word from her made those few Dragon Society members so excited they told everyone they met that the young lady had greeted them, and they were so thrilled they couldn’t sleep all night.
When Situ Xin entered Xia Yujie’s office on the top floor, she found both Xia Yujie and Liu Yuxiang sitting there with serious expressions, working on something.
They only stopped what they were doing and looked up when they heard the door open.
"Master, you finally show up, I thought...," Liu Yuxiang broke into a big smile as soon as he saw Situ Xin.
As soon as Liu Yuxiang spoke, Situ Xin sighed inwardly and then, with swift movements, pulled out two small bottles of wine from her bag and stuffed them into Liu Yuxiang’s arms, "Here, for you. I haven’t forgotten you guys, you know. I’ve just been too busy with the college entrance exams lately to find the time to come over."
Seeing the wine shoved into his arms by Situ Xin, Liu Yuxiang swallowed back his complaint and busied himself with the wine she had given him. He knew that whatever Situ Xin brought out was never ordinary.
One time, he brought some tea leaves back from Situ Xin for his father, who hadn’t been impressed at all by the offering. But after his father brewed the tea and tasted it once, he became addicted, losing interest in any other kind of tea. And just to please his father, Xia Yujie had shamelessly asked Situ Xin for more several times. But then, Xia Yujie was never one for thin skin.
With that, Xia Yujie couldn’t help but think to himself, "Miss, that lie of yours, it’s a bit too crude. You never even cared about the college entrance exams." Of course, he would only think these things but never say them out loud. After so many years together, Xia Yujie’s admiration for Situ Xin had evolved from simple to complex, including gratitude for helping him avenge his father and reclaim Dragon Society, teaching him so much. There was also admiration for her decisive and astute way of handling things and the pampering she showed.
Pampering, indeed. Over the years, Situ Xin had grown up under Xia Yujie’s watch, from a tiny girl to the beautiful young lady she was now. And for Xia Yujie, Situ Xin and Liu Yuxiang were the only two people in the world he regarded as family. So sometimes, he treated Situ Xin like a younger sister and spoilt her just the same.
Feeling Xia Yujie’s gaze, Situ Xin thought he was upset because she had only given Liu Yuxiang wine and not him. She hurriedly took out another two bottles and thrust them at Xia Yujie. "Here, I haven’t played favorites and forgotten you. This is for you," she said.
Xia Yujie looked at the two bottles of wine in his arms, his mouth twitching slightly. Although he liked the wine and various treats from Situ Xin, he wasn’t one to fuss over them. But while he thought this, he carefully put away the two bottles of wine. He didn’t want his wine stolen by Liu Yuxiang before he even had a chance to taste it.
"Miss, have you come here for something specific?" Xia Yujie asked as he locked up the wine in his safe.
Watching Xia Yujie secure the wine in the safe, Situ Xin’s eye twitched, thinking to herself, "Is my wine really that precious, precious enough to be locked in a safe?"
