Chapter 43: Birthday (3)
"Guess who I am?"
A melodious voice sounded from behind Chen Tian. Chen Tian tried to turn around to see who it was. But the person blocking his view didn't allow it.
"No, no cheating."
The woman's voice was melodic and soothing, with a gentle and warm tone.
Chen Tian smiled in his mind. He knew who it was, but before the woman approached him, with his sense, nothing could escape Chen Tian, so he decided to play along anyway.
"Hmm, let me think... is it Liang Jie? Or your Wei Wei." He guessed random girl names, knowing full well that it wasn't her.
Hearing another woman's name, the woman laughed,
"Hahaha~ you're funny. Now I give you one second to guess who I am." The woman changed from her melodious sound to the sound of a demon, making Chen Tian feel uneasy.
However, he remained calm and said, "Sure, I'll take a guess. Are you... Yixing?" The woman's laughter abruptly stopped, and she said in a cold voice, "You're wrong!"
Chen Tian could feel the woman's grip tightening around his eyes.
'Fuck! I totally forgot about this girl personally!" Chen Tian cursed.
"Emilia, I'm joking!" I'm joking!" Chen Tian quickly backtracked, hoping to diffuse the situation. But the woman was not amused. She released his eyes and stepped back, her expression still icy.
Her eyes were devoid of light, and they appeared to be like a black hole, dark and empty. Emilia didn't seem amused by what she heard. The darkness in her eyes could kill someone.
Emilia is the woman's name, and she does not have a surname.
Chen Tian didn't know her background, but she was a very rich woman for a high school girl.
Many asked about her background, but she always said all the property she had was inherited from her parents.
And one more thing about her, she likes him.
Wait, the word "like" cannot be used to describe it.
Perhaps it's more accurate to say that she has a deep obsession with him.
As Chen Tian caught a glimpse of her face, a cold sweat began to form on his back. He realized, to his horror, that he had completely forgotten about this woman's personality. Perhaps he had been too caught up in the excitement of the moment.
"Oh so you were joking, hehehe~" Emilia smiled, but her smile wasn't really a smile. It remained cold and empty. Chen Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of unease, knowing that he had underestimated Emilia's true nature.
He made a mental note to be more cautious around her in the future.
"Y-Yeah" Chen Tian nodded.
"So… Are those women you just talked about a joke too?"
"Y-Yeah, definitely it was just a joke; how could I not recognize your sweet voice?"
"Oh so that's it. Hehe, so you remember my voice~"
Emilia's expression turened into a satisfied expression that could be seen on her face. A smile bloomed on her lips as Chen Tian remembered her from her voice.
Upon seeing Emilia's expression, Chen Tian let out a sigh of relief. This girl, Emilia, was one of his classmates. However, he found it difficult to describe her personality accurately.
Well, when it comes to her personality, he is not sure how to put it into words.
It was similar to some anime where the heroine has pink hair and acts crazy.
The only difference is that this girl has blonde hair and golden eyes.
A Yandere.
Yes, she was a damn yandere—one of the best personalities, but at the same time the most dangerous.
Never, I mean never, make a yandere angry or jealous, or you might end up regretting it for the rest of your life.
Emilia was the type of girl who would tell her boyfriend, "I will never break up with you, even if I'm dead." which will make the boyfriend feel both loved and terrified at the same time.
As for why Chen Tian was worried, maybe… because he was that damn boyfriend!
Even if he and Emilia wasn't in that kind of relationship, he knew how the girl felt about him.
He wasn't as dense as a Japanese protagonist who doesn't know when the girl likes him or not.
Chen Tian was fully aware of Emilia's feelings towards him, and he knew that he had to tread carefully around her. The thought of making her angry or jealous sent shivers down his spine.
'Wait!" As he was thanking his luck to have escaped, a sudden realization came to his mind.
He realized that he couldn't keep avoiding her forever. He needed to confront her and have a serious talk about their relationship.
At first, he wasn't interested in this kind of relationship, and this world is not like the world of cultivation, where someone can marry many women and have a harem.
But now that he could cultivate again, he needed Yin Qi to advance in his cultivation level. What is the problem with having a relationship with her and benefiting from it at the same time?
Although there was also the part of him that loved Yandere, and Emilia is a beautiful girl, why does he need to hesitate?
'I will ask her.'
He decided to take the risk and face her, hoping that she would understand his intentions and agree to his proposal.
Now, some people will think that he was taking advantage of her, but it's not like that, as both parties will benefit from dual cultivating. And even if Chen Tian didn't love Emilia, that didn't mean he didn't like her and enjoy spending time with her.
And love can always bloom later in the relationship.
He just needed to make sure that their relationship was clear and that they both knew what they were getting into. With a deep breath, he looked at her, who was still in her own world, giggling.
"Hey Tian," just as he was about to open his mouth, Pang Chun called from beside him.
"She's in her own world... again."
Chen Tian took a moment to compose himself before turning to Pang Chun and nodding. He knew that Emilia could be easily distracted, but he was determined to have a serious conversation with her about their relationship.
"Don't worry, I have an idea on how to wake her up."
"Yeah, you're the only one who could get her out of her own world." Pang Chun nodded.
Chen Tian took another deep breath and approached her. As he got closer, he leaned in towards her and whispered something in her ear. The words came out in a hushed tone, barely audible to anyone else but her.
After saying his words, he retreated and looked at her.
Emilia slowly turned her head towards him; her eyes were shining with excitement.
"R-Really"
"Yes," Chen Tian nodded.
"You're not joking??"
Chen Tian smiled and nodded again. This time, he didn't say anything.
A smile bloomed on Emilia's face, filled with joy and happiness. It was clear that whatever Chen Tian had whispered in her ear was good news and had made her day.
"Yes!!
Yes!!
YES!!" She started jumping in excitement, saying, "Thank you so much, Chen Tian! You have no idea how much this means to me!"
Chen Tian took her hand and gently squeezed it, trying to stop her from jumping. "Emilia, we need to talk. I need you to focus on me right now." Emilia blinked a few times, her eyes finally focusing on him.
"Okay," she said softly.
"I'm listening."
Chen Tian smiled and said, "Good, then let's go."
Before leaving, he tilted his head toward Pang Pang Chun.
"I need to talk to her about something. I will be going first."
"I understand. I will go and eat some cake." Pang Chun nodded.
With that, Chen Tian started walking towards the stairs, taking Emilia with him as they made their way up to his room.
Emilia felt her heart racing as they climbed the stairs. She knew what was going to happen between her and Chen Tian, and she was excited.
As they reached the top of the stairs, Chen Tian turned to her and said, "Let's go to my room and talk." Emilia nodded and followed him into his room.
As both of them left for the stairs, there was a certain woman watching them leave.
The woman's face wasn't that good. One could clearly see her anger. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, feeling betrayed by Chen Tian's actions. She knew she had to do something to stop this from happening, but she didn't know what.
She watched as they disappeared into his room, feeling helpless.
"Bastard!!"
This woman wasn't alone, as even Aria saw how Chen Tian took Emilia upstairs.
She felt a sense of discomfort and unease, and unknown to her, there was a sense of jealousy that she had yet to recognize.
Both women were left with mixed emotions as they watched Chen Tian and Emilia disappear into his room, unsure of what to do next.
