Chapter 1071 - 1071 Too Weak!
1071 Too Weak!
Qi Lei was not affected by her attitude at all as he started eating the grilled fish.
“Put your work aside for now. I’ll give you back your equipment later, alright? Am I not handsome enough? You’re the first woman that has no reaction when you see me for the first time. You should at least show some appreciation for my looks, hmm?”
Qi Lei felt defeated. Had his attractiveness declined?
That could not be the case because several women had actually turned around and taken a peek at him just now!
Dongfang Liuyun raised her head and looked at him as if she was examining him seriously, “If you were less narcissistic and low-profile, you could barely qualify as a handsome guy to me.” She closed her notebook and kept it back in her backpack.
Qi Lei smiled. “You don’t seem surprised that I came to see you.”
“Surprise only lasts for a moment. It’s not permanent. Why did you come and see me? Isn’t it just nice to see each other in the game? The nature of things might change if you try to pursue it too hard,” she replied bluntly. Then, she grabbed her can of beer and moved it closer to him in an elegant and fluid motion.
Qi Lei raised his can in response, then she quickly gulped her drink down.
“You’re right. Everything has two sides to it. I don’t believe that my luck is that bad. After all, having someone to spend time with you isn’t so bad,” he said.
“Qi Lei? You’re Qi Lei?” Dongfang Liuyun caught his name for the first time.
Qi Lei nodded. “Indeed, I am.”
“No wonder you’re like this. Just as expected of you.” Dongfang Liuyun actually grinned. Her smile was like the moon in the dark sky. She paused for a moment before saying, “It’s hard to rely on luck, and that’s why you need to keep working hard, even harder than everyone else. Having this attitude might help you change your luck somehow.”
“You received a doctorate degree at 27 years old. Isn’t that because you’re luckier than others? I know you’ve been called a genius since you were a child.”
“A genius?” Dongfang Liuyun smiled. “From what I can remember, apart from eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom, I spent almost all my time studying. My mother is an extremely strict and headstrong woman who wouldn’t allow her daughter to be an idiot.”
She grabbed a pair of chopsticks and started eating too. “This tastes pretty good. Give this a try. I’ll be considerate of your gentlemanliness and let you get the bill tonight.”
They did not feel awkward at all talking to each other. In fact, they were hitting it off pretty well.Read more chapter on NovelFull
“How nice of you to bring me here for a meal too.” Qi Lei glanced around as he put on a smile.
“What’s wrong about this place? The food here is on par with cuisine at a high-class hotel. I’m a poor person, so this place is already a luxury for me,” Dongfang Liuyun claimed.
She had spent all her money to get antiques. Most of the items in her store held a high research value, and she was unwilling to sell them because those treasures were like her own children!
She paid nearly $10 million at the auction a few days ago in City C, which was most of her savings. Recently, she had no plans to sell her treasures and had not gone home for the past few months, so she was pretty broke right now!
She was poor? Qi Lei rolled his eyes at her.
She was just like her in-game avatar, always pretending to be broke! She would become filthy rich if she sold all her antiques in the store! However, she did not look like those who typically came from a wealthy family, always insisting on wearing branded items. Instead, she was much more low-profile. She was the odd one here!
“If you promise me I can get the bill, I’ll cover all your living expenses, not just this meal.” Qi Lei gave her a long, seductive glance.
“Swift Snowy won’t follow anyone’s orders. She’s a lone soldier,” Dongfang Liuyun replied stoically before she emptied another can of beer and threw it aside.
“Who are you kidding? Your fantastic beast legion is ferocious. We’ll be able to fight back if we work together,” Qi Lei suggested as he raised his can of beer.
“We’ve been working together all this while, haven’t we? Alright, let’s raid the underground castle tomorrow night again. I have a feeling that there are still a lot of treasures lying around.”
“I have the same thought as well!”
“Do you have enough to eat? We can order more. Remember to return my equipment tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry. I always keep my promises.”
“Why did you come to visit me anyway?”
“I just wanted to get to know you. I wanted to see the face of the person I’ve been partnering with for so long.”
“Maybe I should’ve used a male avatar, but female players can be annoying too.”
“I’m a nice guy. You won’t regret knowing me.”
…
Qi Lei finally collapsed after two hours of drinking with her.
“Hey, wake up!” Dongfang Liuyun frowned when she saw Qi Lei sleeping on the table. She looked around to count. They just finished around 40 cans. Was that all he could take?
What a weakling!
She took a deep breath and shook her head. Then, she waved at the owner to order more, “Give me five more beers!” She was still up and ready to go since drinking this much was nothing to her.
By the roadside, Yang Sheng and the chauffeur were standing by in the car. They just watched what happened. When they saw Dongfang Liuyun continuing to drink even after Qi Lei went down, Yang Sheng had nothing but respect for her!
What a fearsome woman!
Not only was she pretty, but Master Qi was also fond of her and she came from a respectable family.
However, could Master Qi handle her?
