My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 610 - 604: A Basin of Cold Water Extinguishes the Fire
Chapter 610: Chapter 604: A Basin of Cold Water Extinguishes the Fire
Finally, it was Song Shuangshuang’s turn. She hopped and jumped her way to Su Xuan, placing her little hand on him. Little did she know, Su Xuan claimed that the person in front of him didn’t resemble Shuangshuang.
Inside, Song Shuangshuang felt furious, even harboring thoughts of death. Su Xuan was really blind!
Song Shuangshuang angrily stomped her foot.
The referee said cheerfully, "Please, you may leave now, next one!"
Shuangshuang was truly heartbroken, and the audience too was in disbelief, their eyes wide, refusing to believe that Su Xuan didn’t recognize her. They had thought that he knew who the real and the fake ones were because of his speed earlier, but now it seemed he had no clue all along. They had even thought that he had a telepathic connection with the young lady.
For some reason, Qiuyue felt an extremely comfortable sensation in her heart when Su Xuan didn’t recognize Song Shuangshuang, and she didn’t know why. She just felt better seeing no women around him.
Song Tianbao was ecstatic. It was such a relief that Su Xuan had not recognized his daughter. Perfect! He had always found it inappropriate for an outsider like Su Xuan to be his daughter’s study companion, and now Su Xuan had missed his chance. It wasn’t anyone else’s fault, it seemed fated.
Song Shuangshuang gave up as well, thinking it might really be destiny—that they were fated to meet but not fated to be together.
Song Shuangshuang walked toward the stage steps, disappointed. Just when she was about to step down, Su Xuan suddenly said, "Hey, where’s that girl? I was just joking a moment ago. Where is she?"
"What exactly do you want to do?"
asked the referee.
Su Xuan responded, "The girl just now was Song Shuangshuang. I’m certain of it."
(⊙o⊙) Oh! The crowd burst into an uproar. Just before they had thought Su Xuan really hadn’t recognized her. Turned out, he was just playing a joke.
The referee made a silencing gesture to Song Shuangshuang and pulled another girl to the side, saying to Su Xuan, "We brought the girl you asked for, have another good look."
"Shuangshuang, let me feel again," Su Xuan said as he grabbed her hand and touched her chest again!
After a good while, Su Xuan finally said slowly, "Um, not bad. She’s not Song Shuangshuang. I am confident—she’s not the one I touched before."
"Song Shuangshuang, come here, let me try again."
As soon as Su Xuan finished speaking, Song Shuangshuang ran over, took a deep breath, and placed her hand in Su Xuan’s.
Su Xuan’s face revealed a smile of relief, "Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will recognize you, Shuangshuang!"
As soon as Su Xuan finished speaking, a thunderous applause erupted from below the stage, lasting for a long time.
"I knew you would recognize me!"
Song Shuangshuang threw herself into Su Xuan’s embrace, creating a warm and romantic scene.
Qiuyue couldn’t bear to watch any longer, she turned her head away, feeling a surge of jealousy. This Su Xuan truly was a charmer, beloved wherever he went.
Song Tianbao sighed deeply, realizing that some things just can’t be stopped—like today’s Defending Platform, where Su Xuan successfully made it to the end.
Su Xuan removed his blindfold and saw that the person in his arms was indeed Song Shuangshuang. It truly was a close call, fighting his way from the sixth group all the way to the fiftieth. It was a case of bitterness leading to sweetness.
Su Xuan’s rise was the ultimate underdog story, building strength little by little. He didn’t rely on anyone else, climbing up step by step. It went without saying that becoming a study companion was well-deserved, and without any controversy.
"Hurry up and make the announcement," Song Shuangshuang urged the referee. Today, Su Xuan successfully competed to be a study companion, becoming a new member of the Song Family.
At this point, Song Tianbao also came down from the stands. Although he wasn’t thrilled, he still put on a smile. After all, as the head of the family, he couldn’t let personal feelings affect the bigger picture.
"I declare, today’s Study Companion Selection Competition’s winner is Su Xuan!"
Dong!
As Song Tianbao finished announcing, gong sounds filled the air, signaling Su Xuan’s successful induction into the Song Family, who were indeed willing to welcome this new member.
When Qiuyue saw Song Shuangshuang lying in Su Xuan’s embrace unwilling to get up, she stood awkwardly below the stage. She should have been up there congratulating him now, but it seemed a bit unnecessary, perhaps she was the one being superfluous. Su Xuan still had a conscience. Throughout his journey, Qiuyue had helped him a lot, including using small stones to relieve Su Xuan from the "Thousand Mountains and Hundred Beauties" Gu during the study companion selection. It could be said that Qiuyue had been a big help to Su Xuan.
She had helped a hitman successfully transform into an excellent maid.
"Now that you are my daughter’s study companion, I hope you won’t disappoint me,"
"No problem, teaching and education are my forte," Su Xuan confidently replied.
"I believe in him too," Song Shuangshuang exclaimed excitedly, clapping her hands.
"Alright, since you’ve joined our Song Family, I’ll have the steward arrange a room for you. You can start teaching tomorrow."
"That’s fine," Su Xuan said, already with his head in the clouds, thinking about how he would steal the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. Now that he was inside the Song Family, it would be much easier.
In the evening, Su Xuan arrived at the room arranged for him by the steward, styled with an antique flair, possessing a charm like the inns of old, constructed entirely from wood. Due to the cold weather, there was also a furnace in the room, providing a warm haven.
Su Xuan felt somewhat embarrassed because Qiuyue was also assigned to his room.
The elderly butler, seeing Su Xuan’s confusion, explained, "Isn’t Qiuyue your girlfriend? It’s more convenient to be in the same room for certain things."
Su Xuan didn’t know what he meant by "certain things" because after all, he was the pure and innocent type.
Qiuyue, on the other hand, was quite open about it, thanking the butler repeatedly.
"There’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now. If you need anything, find me in the council room. Have a good rest tonight; you’ll be teaching tomorrow."
After saying this, the butler left.
Only Su Xuan and Qiuyue were left in the room. The air was warm, and even in their heavy coats, they both felt a bit hot. Su Xuan still remembered that cold night, when he and Qiuyue slept in the sleeping bag, and how wild they had gone...
Just thinking about it made Su Xuan somewhat embarrassed, and probably Qiuyue thought of it too, as her face turned red.
When she saw Su Xuan looking at her, she quickly explained, "This room is really warm, much warmer than outside." As she said this, she took off her coat.
Su Xuan didn’t have any particular thoughts initially, but once Qiuyue took off her coat, her curvaceous figure was fully revealed, and Su Xuan, knowing her wild side from that night, started to have some physical reactions!
"I also feel a bit hot."
What Su Xuan said was true. He took off his coat and sat at the table, drinking tea desperately, as that seemed the only way to divert his attention and sooth his body.
Qiuyue shifted the topic, "We still don’t know where in the Song Family the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus is hidden; we must find it as soon as possible."
"Right, we can’t delay this matter. I feel Song Shuangshuang might be our breakthrough; I’ll find a chance to get close to her and extract some information."
Su Xuan nodded; he had come to the Song Family not to be a genuine study companion, but to steal the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus to cure and save people.
Every time Qiuyue thought about stealing the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, she felt guilty because she had brought the poison, and even the poison in Su Xuan was shot into him with her flying knife. Even though they had a wild time in the sleeping bag at the front door that night, Qiuyue thought that since they were doomed, they might as well go all out; now, thinking about it, she felt somewhat morally corrupt.
"Based on my years of experience, I guess they keep their Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus in an important place like their family mourning hall."
Qiuyue was a former professional assassin, with a keen sense of smell. The mourning hall, where the spiritual tablets of the Song Family were kept, also seemed to Su Xuan to be a likely place.
The room was heated with charcoal. There was a charcoal basin beside the stove. Qiuyue went over to add some charcoal, but sparks flew out, landing precisely on her chest, causing such pain that she nearly cried.
"Are you alright?"
Su Xuan hurriedly knelt down, pulling at the fabric of her chest to see if there was a burn.
The act of pulling open the clothing did not matter much, but Su Xuan had a clear view of the inside where she was not wearing a bra!
Qiuyue was extremely embarrassed, regretting that she had forgotten to warn him. If she had remembered that she was not wearing anything underneath, she certainly would not have let Su Xuan come over to check.
The air was filled with a palpable tension, even Su Xuan’s breathing became heavy.
Su Xuan looked up, meeting Qiuyue’s scorching gaze. Their eyes locked, and Qiuyue even heard the sound of Su Xuan swallowing. She felt her heart flutter, excited and active.
They remained squatting there, looking at each other, while the fire in the stove burned vigorously, cracking and popping.
Qiuyue was someone who dared to love and hate openly. She looked at Su Xuan, slowly reached out her hand, and guided Su Xuan’s hand to her body.
"Su Xuan, don’t treat me as a person."
After saying this, Qiuyue closed her eyes, waiting for Su Xuan’s favor.
"Thud, thud, thud!"
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Su Xuan had only just begun to undress. Who could it be outside?
Qiuyue, irritated, glanced at the door, thinking about the terrible timing of the interruption.
"Brother Xuan, what are you doing inside? I heard from the butler that you were in here, so I came to see if you were settling in okay?"
The fire in Su Xuan was extinguished by Song Shuangshuang’s arrival as if doused by a bucket of cold water.
Su Xuan put on his clothes and opened the door, while Qiuyue had also dressed and now sat quietly at the table.
Song Shuangshuang bounded in, surprised to see Qiuyue, and it clicked in her mind that Qiuyue was Su Xuan’s friend, so it was normal for them to be together.
"I didn’t interrupt your conversation, did I?"
Song Shuangshuang asked pretentiously.
"No, no, we were just talking casually."
Qiuyue said guiltily, constantly gesturing with her hands that there was no inconvenience.
"Sister Qiuyue, could you step out for a moment? I want to talk about something personal with Brother Xuan."
Song Shuangshuang asked cutely, batting her eyelashes.
"Okay."
As soon as Qiuyue stepped out, the door was locked from the inside, leaving her feeling unsatisfied.
