Chapter 51: Innocent Online Game Master (Part 27)

Yu Chu put down the slice of watermelon as she thought silently. She had been waiting for him to come online. She didn’t feel good about implicating him in such a scandal. She wanted to explain to him.

Mentally, she marshaled her thoughts slowly. Suddenly a private message appeared in her inbox.

In the private chat, S said, ‘I saw the post on the forum.’

As Su Yanbai typed, his eyelashes shuddered lightly, covering his inky black eyes. His expression was impassive, yet his exquisite eyebrows were furrowed.

Yu Chu was dumbfounded. He had read the post… Normally, shouldn’t someone ask what was going on? Instead, he declared that he had seen it, making her shudder slightly. For some strange reason, she felt as though she had been caught cheating on him.

Her fingers trembled unconsciously as she thought about what to say. Another message arrived in her inbox.

In the private chat, S asked, ‘You and him?’

From his succinct and concise question, she could visualize the expression of the other party as he typed. Master’s nonchalant tone contained a subtle trace of displeasure. Yu Chu was taken aback.

What she had originally planned to say was that, ‘Did the post on the forum cause you any inconvenience? Sorry…’

Yet he had asked about her and A Boat As Light As a Leaf? How should she explain?

Yu Chu pressed her lips together as she contemplated briefly.

In the private chat, Meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow typed, ‘I seemed to have offended someone. They are trying to stir trouble and malign me.’

After explaining, she feared that Master would be angry at her for implicating him in this matter. Thus, she continued to type.

In the private chat, Meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow replied, ‘But now they are all talking about how handsome A Boat As Light As a Leaf is. The scandal is already buried. Everything is fine now.’

After sending her reply, she read it silently once more. She felt satisfied and hence, she waited for his reply.

However, S didn’t reply for some time.

Yu Chu blinked at the screen.

In the private chat, Meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow asked, ‘Master?’

In the mansion…

The young man watched the screen with an impassive expression on his exquisite-looking face. His fair fingers gripped the mouse and he didn’t move for a long time.

His eyelashes drooped lower and he relinquished his grip on the mouse. A cold, wry smile flitted across his mouth.

A Boat As Light As a Leaf… was handsome?

When the man read her reply, his expression turned frigid and cold. Silently, he clicked to enter the forum. What greeted his eyes was the trending, explosive post.

He stared at the photo of A Boat As Light As a Leaf. The nonchalance in his eyes was marred by a flash of iciness. He tapped the surface of his desk lightly with his fair, slender fingers. He narrowed his billowing eyes, looking stoic.

Suddenly, a pitiful message seeking his forgiveness appeared in his private chat inbox.

In the private chat, Meowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeowmeow asked, ‘Master, are you angry? Sorry, I shouldn’t have implicated you. Hold on. Let me go clarify myself on the forum.’

Su Yanbai pressed his lips together and his eyebrows were knitted closely together. He seemed rather nonchalant but his annoyance had increased.

His long eyelashes fell.

In the private chat, S asked, ‘What do you need to explain.’

Yu Chu was taken aback for a moment when she read his reply. She pondered the meaning of his reply. Was he trying to ask what she was trying to explain or was he questioning her?

She was still deciding when Master sent another message.

In the private chat, S said, ‘Hold on.’

Hold on?

Yu Chu blinked in confusion. However, she placed her head on her desk as she ate the watermelon.

After several minutes, the system announced a piece of news which made nearly everyone’s jaws drop.
