Chapter 34: What Did I Do to Deserve This?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Even after transmigrating to this world, Wang Hao was still a typical person. Everybody had a sense of vanity — without it, there’s no reason to work hard at all. I can just go home and do nothing!
So, when Wang Hao received a message from the superstar, he replied immediately.
Sunday Wang: “Yes, wait. I’ll send you the link.” He sent her the link right away. Icy Heart answered in a short while. “Okay, thanks. Right, did you see the news today? I mean… have you seen the post on the Internet?”
The post? She must be talking about the one that revealed her true identity!
Should I tell her or not that I’ve seen it?
Wang Hao hesitated for a second, then decided to tell her the truth. “Yes, I saw it just now. I didn’t know you’re Ice Queen Elegant Bai. You’re my idol! I was startled when I saw the post, haha.”
Ice Queen paused for about half a minute, then sent him a message. “So, do you… have any other thoughts?”
Other thoughts?
I’m just an ordinary man who’s still working my way up the social ladder. What else can I think about?
Wang Hao laughed and shook his head. He replied, “No, I’m just excited I have a superstar friend — that is, if you’re willing to be my friend, of course.”
This time, Icy Heart responded quickly. “Why not? You’re a great guy.”
Got friendzoned again!
Sunday Wang: “Thank you for your appreciation! I know you’re busy, so I won’t disturb you. (smile)”
Icy Heart: “Hm, okay. (wave)”
Wang Hao gave a contented sigh as he closed WeChat.
I can’t believe I can be friends with a superstar! Hehe!
Cool!
…
Zhonghai Binhai Villas, in Elegant Bai’s villa.
Elegant Bai lay on the sofa and looked at the phone in her hands.
The afternoon sun shone on her body and mellow warmth surrounded her. The breeze created by the smart system gave her peace and quiet. She took off her shoes, curled her legs, and slept on her side.
It seemed that every time she talked to Wang Hao, she could feel an indescribable tranquility.
Wang Hao’s reply was out of her expectations, but also reasonable. Based on Elegant Bai’s current understanding of Wang Hao, it was very normal that he didn’t ask for anything. Yet, this couldn’t give Elegant Bai the closure she wanted.
“It would be better if he can ask for something.” Elegant Bai shook her head.
At the end of the day, Wang Hao had saved her three times in a short period of time, but he didn’t ask for anything in return. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she owed him, which was why she kept trying to offer him some compensation.
“Whatever, forget it.” Elegant Bai looked at Wang Hao’s novel and frowned. “But why do I feel like something’s missing?”
She pondered before saying softly, “Butler.”
“My lady.” The Robot Butler opened the door and walked in. “How can I help you?”
“Hm.” Elegant Bai closed her eyes and said, “I want to express my gratitude to someone, but I can’t overdo it, so as to avoid any misunderstanding. What can I do?”
“Please wait…” The Robot Butler answered, “My lady, according to my calculations, there are two appropriate ways. First, help him solve a problem in the future. Second, ask him out for dinner.”
“Alright.” After getting the answer she needed, Elegant Bai waved her hand. “I got it. Off you go.”
“Very well, my lady.”
…
All of the people in the car were looking at their phones and discussing the incident with Ice Queen.
Moon Zheng said as she kept looking, “Ice Queen hasn’t even dined with a man over the years. How would she have a boyfriend? Have you heard any rumors?”
“No.” Wang Hao shook his head, then he heard the beep of an incoming text —
Icy Heart: “Are you free these two days? I want to invite you out for dinner to thank you.”
Wang Hao was speechless.
F*ck, I’m indeed lucky today! Am I invincible?
A superstar is asking me out for dinner! What’s going on?
Am I going to become a CEO and marry a fair, rich and beautiful woman? What did I do to deserve this?
Sunday Wang: “Sure, but I’m not used to being treated by a woman. It’s on me!”
Lu Tong said, “Absolutely not! I wonder who would be lucky enough to be able to dine with Ice Queen. I bet that guy would certainly smile in his dream!”
Ice Queen replied, “It’s my treat! I’ll call you.”
Wang Hao was speechless.
I’m the guy who’s going to smile in my dream! Ahahaha!
Sunday Wang: “Alright, as you wish.”
“True.” Ma Ming expressed his thoughts. “There’s never been any pictures of Ice Queen and that man before! I’m sure there has to be some other explanation. Do you think the man might be a family member of hers?”
“Probably!” Wang Hao nodded hard. “He must be a family member!”
Ahahaha! Have I become Ice Queen’s relative?
Cool!
