Starting with a Breakup: Why Is the True Heiress My Possessive Ex? - Chapter 38

Su Qingya remained by Xu Nian’s side, watching her without blinking.

The same intense gaze…

Exactly like the one from the simulation.

It made Xu Nian feel unexpectedly guilty.

For that reason alone, she didn’t dare experiment with the Fluxdevice.

She had no idea how she would explain it if something happened.

Better to wait until she was alone.

“Nian Nian…”

“What’s this?”

“I picked it up over there.”

“Didn’t you notice?”

Of course, that was a lie.

It was actually the reward she had selected from the simulator.

Xu Nian maintained a perfectly innocent expression without revealing the slightest flaw.

Naturally, Su Qingya had seen where she found it.

She wasn’t asking how Xu Nian got the box.

Instead, she tilted her head.

“If it belongs to someone else…”

“Shouldn’t we hand it over to the lost and found?”

“Nian Nian should be a good child.”

“You shouldn’t keep something you found.”

Xu Nian’s eyes widened.

“What?!”

This belonged to her!

It was the reward she had risked her life to obtain!

And among everything she had ever received from simulations, it was the most practical item by far!

How could she possibly hand it over?

Qingya…

Why was your moral compass suddenly this upright at a time like this?!

Xu Nian immediately argued.

“I think we should just leave it where it was.”

“What if the owner comes back and can’t find it?”

“They’d definitely cry.”

“Besides…”

“A normal person wouldn’t think to check the lost and found first.”

Su Qingya thought about it.

“…You’re right.”

She accepted the explanation surprisingly easily.

Xu Nian secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Pretending to place the box back where she had found it, she casually tugged Su Qingya toward a nearby food stall.

“Qingya.”

“Let’s go eat ice cream.”

“No.”

“Not until the Fluxbeast incident is fully resolved.”

“Then let’s go catch goldfish.”

“No.”

“Not until the Fluxbeast incident is fully resolved.”

“Then let’s go ride something.”

“No.”

“You’re not touching any attractions.”

Xu Nian nearly exploded.

“No way!”

“Qingya!”

“You’re being way too paranoid!”

According to the officials, only the final Fearbeast remained.

They had already gone to deal with it.

The rest of the amusement park should have been perfectly safe.

“Bored?”

Su Qingya asked.

Xu Nian nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick.

“In that case…”

“Let’s play a game together.”

She calmly took out her phone.

Xu Nian was speechless.

Who came to an amusement park…

Only to sit around playing mobile games?

Still…

She obediently followed Su Qingya into a quieter corner.

Which happened to be exactly what she wanted.

Taking advantage of Su Qingya’s blind spot, Xu Nian silently manipulated her invisible cloth bag.

It floated behind them.

Scooped up the little box.

And disappeared again without anyone noticing.

Mission accomplished.

The two of them ended up gaming together for quite a while.

Before they realized it, dusk had settled over the amusement park.

Xu Nian’s phone battery was almost exhausted.

At the same time…

The hazy distortion surrounding the park gradually faded from her vision.

“It looks like everything’s finally over.”

She stretched lazily.

The movement accidentally exposed a bit of skin beneath her clothes.

Su Qingya immediately stood up.

Without saying anything, she blocked anyone else’s view and carefully adjusted Xu Nian’s clothes back into place.

Perhaps…

This strange date was finally coming to an end.

Thankfully, the official team had proven extremely reliable.

Xu Nian hadn’t needed to lift another finger.

Sure enough…

Those stories where government organizations existed solely to make the protagonist look impressive really were just fictional clichés.

If official agencies truly were useless…

How could they possibly protect an entire city?

Still…

Thinking back on the day…

What had made her happiest?

Oddly enough…

It wasn’t surviving the Fluxbeast incident.

It wasn’t riding the Ferris wheel.

It wasn’t anything romantic.

It was climbing three ranks while playing mobile games with Su Qingya.

Somehow…

The highlight of an amusement park date had turned into gaming together.

Was there something wrong with that?

Xu Nian had played marksman.

Su Qingya naturally chose support.

The two of them stayed glued together the whole match.

The enemy top laner had been bullied so badly he hid under his own tower.

As for their own top laner…

Who cared?

The road to greatness was always lonely.

If he could survive constant jungle ganks alone…

Then he was already a true powerhouse.

Xu Nian suddenly spoke very seriously.

“If I’m not around in the future…”

“You’re only allowed to play top lane.”

“Understood.”

Su Qingya answered without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing such complete obedience made her smile.

She wrapped an arm around Xu Nian’s waist and lightly pecked her lips.

Only then did today truly feel complete.

The amusement park date…

Could probably be considered a success.

Xu Nian certainly wasn’t foolish enough to wait around for the officials to personally escort them out.

She intended to head home by taxi.

At most…

She would send a polite text to the number printed on Leng Xiao’s business card.

Sure enough…

Leng Xiao simply replied with a single OK emoji.

Brief.

Efficient.

Entirely fitting her personality.

“What are your plans tomorrow?”

Xu Nian asked curiously.

Earlier, the family butler had already called.

Tomorrow was the day Su Qingya would officially return to the Xu family.

Xu Nian herself also had to head home.

She couldn’t continue staying overnight.

Otherwise…

If her father arrived tomorrow and discovered her here…

Explaining everything would become rather awkward.

So…

The day had finally come.

The real heiress was going home.

Thinking about it…

Xu Nian almost couldn’t suppress her grin.

“Tomorrow…”

“My biological father wants me to come home.”

“I can’t delay it any longer.”

“Nian Nian…”

“I’m so nervous.”

“So nervous I feel like I’m going to die.”

This vulnerable side of Su Qingya only ever surfaced in front of Xu Nian.

Xu Nian’s fox tail swayed from side to side.

Her ears twitched happily.

The corners of her mouth curled upward into an unmistakable smile.

“Don’t be nervous.”

“Trash Qingya.”

“I guarantee tomorrow will end exactly the way you want.”

The more she imagined tomorrow’s events…

The harder it became to stop smiling.

Su Qingya looked at her suspiciously.

“How can you be so sure?”

“Hehe…”

“I’m not telling you.”

“Then…”

“Will everyone call you Xu Qingya from now on?”

“You’re still laughing.”

“I haven’t even decided whether I’ll change my surname.”

To be honest…

Su Qingya didn’t want to.

She still felt deeply attached to the parents who had raised her.

If fate hadn’t intervened…

She would have continued living in that warm household.

Before turning twelve…

She really had been happy.

Which was exactly why losing them hurt so much.

She feared loss.

More than anything else.

And after Xu Nian barged into her lonely world…

Xu Nian gradually became the only family she had left.

She never wanted to experience losing someone precious again.

What?

Xu Nian was only her girlfriend?

Then they could simply get married someday.

Brave Qingya feared no obstacles.

“Hehe…”

“Trash Qingya.”

“No matter what happens…”

“I’ll always support you from behind.”

“Thank you, Nian Nian.”

“Today I’m heading home.”

“There are some things I need to deal with.”

“We’ll live together again later.”

“Alright.”

Although she desperately wanted to hold Xu Nian close all night and ease her own anxiety…

Su Qingya never intended to restrict Xu Nian’s freedom.

After all…

She still needed to pack.

This tiny rented apartment—

Filled with countless precious memories—

Would soon be left behind.

Thinking that, she quietly watched Xu Nian walk away.

Then suddenly rushed after her.

Wrapping both arms around Xu Nian, she hugged her tightly.

Before letting go…

She deliberately bit the back of Xu Nian’s neck.

Leaving behind a neat little strawberry mark.

Only then did she release her.

“Idiot!”

“Idiot Qingya!”

“You bit way too hard!”

“There’s definitely a mark now!”

Xu Nian rubbed the back of her neck without even needing a mirror.

She already knew.

“Bleh~”

Su Qingya stuck out her tongue mischievously.

“Ahhh!”

“Su Qingya!”

“This is called returning the favor.”

“Using Nian Nian’s own methods against her.”

“Damn it!”

“You idiot!”

“You giant idiot!”
