The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 758 - HE WILL DEFINITELY

”IT seemed that your shoot took longer than expected,” Duan Yu commented as he took out ingredients from the pantry. 

Song Liuli had a photoshoot today for a popular apparel line that targeted young people.  They lived in the same apartment building. Their apartments were also adjacent to each other. He often cooked for the other. So, Song Liuli was a frequent visitor in his apartment. In fact, besides sleeping here, itʼs almost like they lived together. She even had her own key to his apartment.

Song Liuli actually wanted for them to live together since their current living arrangement was no different from that. But Duan Yu refused. As much as he wanted to agree, he felt like he shouldnʼt. 

Others might call him sly and scheming, but he was an old-fashioned guy at heart. He didnʼt want to take that step unless he and Liuli were officially married. It might take a few years for that since the both of them were still university students. He wanted to have a stable career first before proposing marriage. 

He didnʼt want to be that kind of guy who depended on his partnerʼs money. Liuliʼs money was hers while his money belonged to the both of them. He wanted to be someone who could support his family financially without needing to worry about anything. 

The investments he had made in the past two years were already bearing fruit. by next year, he would have ample funds to start his own small company. He just hoped that things would go according to plan. But life always threw a few curve ball to everyone, some received more than others. He had already readied himself for such mishap.

Duan Yu then heard an annoyed sigh from behind. ”Itʼs because of that model I have to shoot with today. Heʼs such a drama king. Just because heʼs a little bit too popular, he made everything hard for everyone in the set. Argh! I almost couldnʼt hold myself back from punching him!”

His expression dimmed but Song Liuli couldnʼt see it since his back was facing her. ”Did he trouble you?” he asked as he began to chop a cabbage on the chopping board.

Song Liuli glanced at Duan Yuʼs back because she heard something in the otherʼs tone. They had been together long enough that, at times, itʼs easy for her to know what the other was thinking. Just like now. 

If she said ʼyesʼ, she was sure that Duan Yu would definitely think of a way to deal with that model, no matter how disadvantageous it might be for him. She didnʼt mind though. Itʼs one of the many reasons why she liked him. Even so, she couldnʼt just let the other do something careless because of her.

”Nah, I already took care of it. Do you really think I would let someone like that bully me?” she said in a nonchalant tone.

Although she said that to pacify the other, itʼs true that she had already taken care of that model. Itʼs not in her nature to swallow such a breath when someone was obviously trying to take advantage of her.

She picked up Duan Yuʼs phone on the couch and opened it. Then, she saw that the screen was on Weibo, meaning that Duan Yu was browsing the site before putting it down. The topic he was browsing was the finals of the Rookie Carnival.

”Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. Today was the finals of Rookie Carnival,” she said, changing the topic. ”Who won?”

”Noctis.”

Noctis? Then, the image of a certain white-haired elf flashed in her mind. ”Is he that good?”

She was asking out of genuine curiosity. Because she truly had no idea about the otherʼs skills. Since her modelling career took off, the time she spent to play Arcadia became less and less. If not for the fact that Duan Yu and their other friends were still playing, she would have probably quit a long time ago. 

Of course, that didnʼt mean that she was being half-assed when sheʼs playing. Especially during training for Arcadia Cup. Sheʼs the main healer of their team. If she didnʼt take the game seriously, then it could result to their team losing. She didnʼt mind losing, what she did mind was if they lost because of her.

Due to this, she wasnʼt so updated to the things happening in the game. Much less so about the skills of the new players being added every year.

”He got skills. Yunyue would definitely be a tough opponent next year if they join the Arcadia Cup,” Duan Yu answered honestly.

Song Liuli raised her brow. ”Just his addition and youʼre sure Yunyue will give us a hard time next year, is he that good?”

”Well, itʼs not just him. The runner-up in this yearʼs Carnival also happened to be a new member of Yunyue. So…” Duan Yu answered with a shrug.

Song Liuli whistled. ”It seems Yunyue is really planning a comeback.”

”I donʼt think they plan it per se,” Duan Yu said remembering the expressionless captain of Yunyue. If they ever really participated in the Cup next year, he had a feeling that it wouldnʼt have anything to do with YUN but everything to do with Noctis.

”If they participate next year, Ah Min would definitely be overjoyed,” Song Liuli only commented, referring to their teamʼs captain.

Duan Yu silently agreed on that.

”By the way, Iʼm planning to ask Noctis to help us in Nirvanaʼs next issue,” he said.

Nirvana was a magazine published by team Celestials twice a year – one in June and another in December. They started this magazine about two years ago. It was just a whim at first. But since it was so profitable, Duan Yu decided to continue it. 

Itʼs a magazine that caters to Arcadiaʼs fans. Itʼs full of fan-service and gorgeous photos. One could buy either a digital copy or a hardcopy of the magazine. Now that Noctis won the Rookie Carnival, he was definitely more than qualified to be in the magazine.

”I donʼt have any opinion on that. But, would that elf even agree?” Song Liuli asked. ”I have a feeling he wouldnʼt.”

Duan Yu showed a meaningful smile. ”Oh, he will definitely agree.”

He had no choice after all.
