Chapter 382: Side Story 2: I Came Back Today
“Sisi, you know about that…” Yan Han frowned deeply. He wanted very badly to light a cigarette, but when he reached into his pocket, he found that he didn’t have a lighter.
Tan Yongsi pulled out her phone from her pocket, raising an eyebrow as she looked at the time. “Do you want to say that it’s just a misunderstanding? Or maybe it’s just acting on your part? Sorry, Mr. Yan, you know that although I’m in the management faculty, I know a bit of everything else. If you want to see evidence, I can hack out the video anytime you want for you to watch it.”
Hearing her words, Yan Han snapped his head up, his mouth opening and closing without any sound, exactly like the first time he had met her. He let out a low growl, “Tan Yongsi!”
“Why are you so bothered, in fact? Our relationship was just a cover for each other from the beginning. I thought that my consent to break up would ease a burden off your shoulders.” Tan Yongsi’s voice lightened up. “This entire conversation is just pointless.”
Yan Han didn’t have any more to say or do in those words.
He looked at the girl in front of him. When he had first met her, it was at the scene of an accident. She had been helplessly begging the doctors and nurses to save her parents.
It had been a major car accident, her family’s car had been smashed to pieces, but miraculously, she had survived it with just minor injuries. The newspaper at that time had also published the incident, stating that it was a miracle she was alive.
The driver who caused the accident had run off. Her mother had been admitted into intensive care, and urgently needed funds to carry out her treatment. He had been the one who funded her the large sum of money.
But that little girl who had been helpless was now grown into a beautiful woman, attracting the attention of countless people by just standing in a place.
“You’ve never liked me at all, even a little?” Yan Han stared at Tan Yongsi’s face.
Tan Yongsi indeed had a pair of really beautiful eyes, with a brilliant sparkle to them. It was what made many scouts on the streets want to scout her out.
Apart from the time when her parents had passed away, he had never seen her cry. He had also never seen her let down her guard, even when she was facing him.
Such a pair of tender eyes. It had never softened once in all the time she looked at him. In fact, it was even showing a hint of sarcasm as they were talking now. She let out a sigh. “Even without that, it’s impossible for us to walk all the way to the end. Yan Han, you have to get something straight. Does your family really need a daughter-in-law who has nothing but looks?”
“I don’t believe that you never once liked me!” Yan Han grabbed Tan Yongsi’s hand again. “If you didn’t like me, then why did you suddenly choose to get into A University in the final year of high school?”
“You think I came to A University because of you?” Yan Yongsi raised her head, looking at him in surprise with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
“Is that not the reason?” Yan Han paused, grasping at this point.
Tan Yongsi didn’t speak, shaking off his hand with a sharp flick. “That’s how it is, Yan Han. Dragging on and not letting go isn’t like you at all.”
He had been together with Tan Yongsi for five years. In these five years, it had initially just been for fun, and he had agreed with her that this was just a farce to stop any other party from going after them. Tan Yongsi had always been grateful for his help that year, so she hadn’t needed to think much before agreeing to it.
At the beginning, he was worried that Tan Yongsi would refuse to let him go in the future, but it seemed that she didn’t have any intentions of doing so in the first place. He was the one who had fallen instead.
He suddenly felt as though Tan Yongsi was poison.
When he thought about it, he pulled out his phone to make a call. “Mom, the engagement is off.”
Having said that, he hung up the phone without waiting to see how his mother would react.

Tan Yongsi returned to the dorm room, forgetting about what had just happened when her eyes landed on the egg on her table.
“Hey, I wasn’t lying when I said it really did move just now!” Ye Xuan was sitting on a stool, sprawled across the table. When she saw Tan Yongsi come in, she put down her leg immediately. “Yichen can be my witness!”
Xiao Yichen walked out from the bathroom, toweling her hair. She turned to Tan Yongsi, and nodded her head in agreement. “It really did move.”
Tan Yongsi and Ye Xuan had known each other for a really long time, and she naturally knew what kind of person Ye Xuan was. She was able to tell with a glance whether the other was lying or not. She reached out to touch the egg on the table, and the egg moved at this time, rolling off the table!
“Egg!” Ye Xuan exclaimed in surprise.
Tan Yongsi stretched out her hand slowly, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Ye Xuan. Her fingers opened, revealing the egg safely in her palm.
“Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!” Ye Xuan was patting her chest, then glanced up at Tan Yongsi. “What kind of freaking egg is this? That it’s able to move?!”
Ye Xuan had always been a tomboy, and was more rough in her speech, but this thing in front of her was just too extraordinary. A moving egg? What the f*ck?
Tan Yongsi looked like she wanted to explain, but then she heard Xiao Yichen put down her towel, flashing Ye Xuan a smile. “Xuan Xuan, the existence of the ancient martial arts world has been revealed for twenty years already. Compared to that, what’s a moving egg?”
Ye Xuan was just from an ordinary family, and she only had a surface understanding of the ancient martial arts world, so of course she wasn’t used to seeing such things.
Not only her, even normal people would be afraid when they saw an egg that was able to move and bounce by itself, right? But why did Xiao Yichen look like she wasn’t surprised at all? Even Ye Xuan, who had been friends with Tan Yongsi for ten years, had not been able to easily accept this matter.
How could Xiao Yichen be so calm about this?!
Wasn’t this abnormal?
Xiao Yichen sat on her bed, turning on her computer. She gave Tan Yongsi a glance, before turning back to the screen. She opened the school’s forum, and as expected, there were a lot of slandering topics that had appeared.
The first newly published one was one with Tan Yongsi’s photo.
“Let’s gossip about the next door department’s campus belle.”
Xiao Yichen finished her browsing, then went online her QQ[1] and opened a list that she had labeled ‘Idols’.
First Ray Of Dawn: Uncle Yu, can you do me a favor?
Tan Yongsi stared at her egg for a while, before also turning on her computer, going on the Nine Heavens online game. She didn’t use the virtual helmet today, since she was only planning to go online for a while to have a look around.
Unexpectedly, when she got on, there was still someone in her friend’s list that was online.
She sat in front of the screen, staring hard at the name. It had been a month, she had thought that he wouldn’t come online anymore.
Before she could think too much about it, the other had already sent her a private chat, and the window had popped up on her screen.
I’m Not An Egg: You’re on? We’re going on the demon quest, join the party.
I’m Not An Egg, the god of Nine Heavens in Server 3.
Nine Heavens had three servers, Server 1, 2 and 3. Server 1 was the oldest server, which was full of godly players. Server 2 and 3 were added later on, due to the large number of players and Server 1 was unable to take the load, hence the other two servers were added.
However, the combat effectiveness of those players in Server 3 couldn’t be compared to those in Server 1, except for I’m Not An Egg. He had top notch equipment, and it wasn’t something that you could get just by playing the game normally. So although Tan Yongsi was good at general controls of her characters, without the same top-notch equipment, she was only able to occupy the tenth place.
But that was already enough for people to worship her.
Because have you seen the number of players in Server 3? Over millions of players, you were already worth showing off if you could be ranked in the top thousand, what more to be part of the top ten?
More importantly, her equipment was not even any special kind!
If she were to use the equipment of the Egg God, she would be able to compare to him, and even those players in Server 1!
Soft Release Of Yearning: Coming.
As soon as she replied, she moved her character over. In an instant, she was together with a group of people in front of the dungeon entrance. The most eye-catching of the group was a person in black robes, standing with his back facing her.
He was obviously wearing black, but there was a golden glow surrounding his character. She knew that this was the light that came from the unique equipment that he wore.
Soft Release Of Yearning: Egg God, thanks.
I’m Not An Egg: ?
Soft Release Of Yearning: The video from the hotel last time.
I’m Not An Egg: No problem. Have you broken up with that scum?
Soft Release Of Yearning: Even if it wasn’t because of this matter, it was time to break up anyway.
I’m Not An Egg: It’s better to break it off early.
I’m Not An Egg: That a*shole wasn’t good enough for you.
Soft Release Of Yearning: In short, thanks bro!
Soft Release Of Yearning: By the way, why are you on now? Isn’t it early morning for you?
I’m Not An Egg: I’ve returned to China.
Tan Yongsi’s hand shook, startled to the point that she was almost killed by a monster, but she managed to avoid it at the last second.
Soft Release Of Yearning: When did you come back?
I’m Not An Egg: Today.
Tan Yongsi wanted to reply, but her eyes caught sight of the egg that she had placed beside the computer. It was cracking open…
Then a very red head started to squeeze out of it…
