CH 73.2

“Boss, boss!” Yells out Sophia.

Murong Jihua whispers to ask, “what is it?”

“Something’s changed! Shao-furen, his, his,

His points are almost equalling that of Her Highness Elizabeth’s!”

“…”

“…”

“???”

Murong Jihua, vaguely aware that he is about to win now, takes out his device with the terminal on it, and calls up the number he remembers firmly in his mind.

“Hello? He Jünle, how is it going? Do you need me to——”

“Stay quiet, stay put, don’t do anything,” He Jünle’s tone is slightly more gravelly than usual; Murong Jihua can even hear a faint, but heavier breathing than usual, that continues, “don’t do anything, don’t do anything. Important things are repeated thrice. If you’re bored, go get some ice cream hotpot, and wait for me like a good boy.

Wait for me, to bring us both victory.”

His beloved is such a hero. He always believed that, one day, he will extend his hands towards him, stepping on the vibrant clouds, full of stories and legends to tell——

That’s so sexy! He wants to sleep him!

Murong Jihua, while listening to He Jünle and coming up with a Gary Stu love story in his mind, has his own face completely flushed. He clears his throat and tries his best to suppress the smile that is emerging.

“Alright.”

So what if he’s a sour steamed fish?

He is just sour, veggie and unnecessary, sure.

But as long as he coos him again, then he wouldn’t mind.

Therefore, Murong Jihua, now obeying his man’s royal decree of ‘doing nothing’ just finds the nearest simple café to take a seat.

He orders some milk tea and, while his mouth is full of sweetness, he continues enjoying the sweetness that keeps pouring in into his ears in the form of Sophia’s increasingly exaggerated yells,

“He has 100 points in the lead!”

“123!”

“200!”

Murong Jihua feels like he’s practically like those male-oriented novels with protagonists that have obscenely powerful golden fingers who just lies flat on their back to win the whole story…

Nope, that’s not right.

The word ‘practically’ is unnecessary.

He, who has He Jünle, the actual Gary Stu, is a cheat protagonist with a golden finger!

Time flies, and years pass as if it were yesterday (TL: Exaggeration).

Whenever Murong Jihua is restless and feels like leaving to do something, He Jünle would call him with such impeccable timing to remind him,

“Please・do・not・do・anything.”

Fine. God knows how He Jünle can call him exactly as he was going to do something.

Murong Jihua sighs, and hangs up for the eighth time, returning to his seat.

“Sophia, report.”

“1430:2109.”

“How long until the competition is over?”

“Half an hour.”

There is a hint of happiness in Sophia’s tone as she concludes, “boss, it’s definitely shao-furen’s victory.”

Murong Jihua is completely relieved now. Although He Jünle’s shocking points climb has slowed down in the past hour——That is not any less confidence that He Jünle will absolutely win.

‘Though really, how did Jünle do it…’

Murong Jihua is knocking his fingers rhythmically at the desk, thinking,

‘I’ll ask later… It’s just thirty minutes more, let’s hope nothing else happens… Mm?’

Clearly, you must not set up flags casually.

And clearly, Murong Jihua did not know of that life lesson.

Twenty-eight minutes to the end of the showdown,

Murong Jihua receives another call from He Jünle.

The young man is all gasping and with a much hoarser tone than usual, saying, “Jihua…”

Murong Jihua could feel his vision giving out. He can feel nothing.

Three seconds later, he asks, “He Jünle, what’s wrong?”

“… I miscarried.”

——There is a rather messy background noise following that.

Author’s notes:

I’m updating normally again from today.

Also——This novel is in a countdown to the finale~

It’s really my first novel, so I’m inexperienced and really just wrote whatever I liked. I couldn’t grasp characters and the plot well… It’s full of bugs, but thank you to all the babies who still read it regardless!

I’ll try to give them the most perfect ending possible <3

And learn from experience. This novel’s finale and the first chapter of my upcoming novel will be released without delays in the middle.

Thank you to all the little angels who gave me the tickets and the nutritional mixes in support~

Thank you for all of your support, I will keep working hard!
