Chapter 945: Confession and Surprise!

“Happy, you’ve been sitting there for so long—do you have something on your mind?”
Xu Yao here hardly dared to make eye contact with Happy, even though at the beginning of the game, when she was the head of the discipline team, she had completely ignored Happy.
“No.”
“…”
Hearing Happy’s reply, Xu Yao fell silent again. Though her heart was filled with disbelief, she didn’t dare show it on her face.
Seeing Xu Yao, who should have been the woman of this world, act like a timid little rabbit in front of her, Happy couldn’t help but laugh: “Xu Yao, are you really scared of me?”
“No… Of course not.”
The first part came out almost instinctively, but as she pulled back her neck, the last two words lacked confidence.
“Still say you’re not?”
Xu Yao’s expression made Happy temporarily forget her gloomy mood, and she teased her, “Looking at your posture, facing the bedroom—it seems like you want to run back there right away, maybe even hide under the covers and tremble. I’m not that scary, am I?”
“…”
Under Happy’s teasing, Xu Yao blushed and adjusted her posture slightly.
“Still blaming me? Weren’t you sighing on the balcony just now? Are you disappointed because I’m here and you can’t find a chance to harm Xin’er?”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Happy’s expression changed slightly.
Not able to see Happy’s face, Xu Yao thought she had guessed her secret and retorted, “Still saying I’m talking nonsense? These past few days, you’ve barely been seen except when coming out for meals. And you even bring the food to the bedroom—aren’t you angry with Xin’er?”
“…”
“Actually, I can tell Xin’er also regrets it. She just can’t bring herself to ask me to leave. I can move out tomorrow and let you two enjoy your time together… Although you’re usually a bit harsh on me, everyone knows your character. Sister Xin’er will be fine with you.”
“You want to move out?”
“Mm. You two are having trouble, and it’s even harder for me to be in the middle. It’s better to leave now…” Xu Yao replied with a smile.
“No need to leave.”
Happy suddenly took a deep breath and said, “Let me tell you a story.”
“Hm?”
Xu Yao was stunned…
A story?
The top expert in Central Plains was going to tell her a story?
Xu Yao’s mind went blank.
But Happy didn’t care about that. Traveling between the two worlds had left her unsure of how to handle things moving forward. After all, this body still belonged to Chen Kaixin…

Kai Xin doesn’t want to hide it any longer. If Xu Yao really leaves and Xu Xin moves in with Chen Kaixin, he probably will collapse—not only him, but Chen Kaixin as well. Right now, Kai Xin likes Xu Xin; Chen Kaixin cares about Xu Yao, who should belong to him… If the two of them get together, both pairs will end up rejected. Kai Xin absolutely doesn’t want that to happen. Moreover, things can’t be hidden any longer. Maybe it didn’t seem like a problem before, but continuing to hide it is unfair to him, to Chen Kaixin, and to Xu Xin. With a serious tone, Kai Xin told Xu Yao about his story in another world. Listening, Xu Yao’s small mouth gradually widened as she stared at Kai Xin with an incredulous look—her eyes filled not only with doubt but also a hint of disdain. By the middle, Xu Yao couldn’t hold back anymore and interrupted, “Did you also use such absurd methods to deceive girls before? Like claiming we were boyfriend and girlfriend in another world? Stop it! It’s disgusting!!” “…” Kai Xin glanced up at her and continued, “Until a person named Xue Yi entered my life, becoming my brother under the guise of being my fellow townsman…” At these words, Xu Yao’s face turned pale and her body stiffened. “How do you know that?” Xu Yao’s voice trembled. Kai Xin didn’t answer but kept going with the rest of the story… Ten minutes passed. Xu Yao, who had initially refused to believe any of this, began to waver. Many of Kai Xin’s claims were unbelievable, but he always managed to mention facts that many people in school didn’t know, as well as some of her secrets. “Do you know why I’ve always hated you and never given you a good look lately?” “…” “Because I kept misunderstanding your relationship with Xue Yi, thinking you had betrayed me, until I returned to that world…” Kai Xin revealed everything, regardless of whether Xu Yao could accept it or not… Xu Yao listened in a daze, her mind in chaos. Was Kai Xin her boyfriend from another world? Did Kai Xin know about her relationship with Xue Yi as fellow townspeople? Did Kai Xin know about her food allergies and many of her secrets? Many of his claims were strange, but they seemed plausible at the same time.

“Believe it or not, if it weren’t for my appearance, you and the current Chen Kaixin would have already become friends. As for me, I should have parted ways with Xu Xin, but now I’ve fallen for her… Yet the you over there is still waiting for me in my hospital room.”
It was the first time he had revealed his secrets in front of others. Happiness brought a sense of relief, yet it was also filled with deep helplessness.
“…”
Xu Yao sat on the sofa, listening to all this in bewilderment.
“Xueyi is my fellow townsman. You knew that?”
“I knew. I also knew that you used to keep in touch with Xueyi, but I couldn’t help but investigate your background and discovered you had your reasons—your mother was seriously ill. Before ‘Jianghu,’ you held two jobs, which is why I had Lei Zhan arrange for you to become a manager to keep an eye on things… You didn’t disappoint me. In the end, you still chose to refuse to cooperate with Xueyi.”
“…”
Another deep silence fell between them.
Xu Yao seemed to be struggling to process all the details of Happy’s story…
It was a long time before she spoke again:
“Who are you now?”
“Happy. Your boss. Not the guy who likes you.”
“What about him?”
When Xu Yao mentioned “him,” it seemed like she was referring to an outsider.
Happy guessed that the person in his mind surely wouldn’t be happy to hear this.
“He’s sulking… After all, he never had a chance to adapt. His understanding of cultivation is only superficial and theoretical; he’s not ready for many things.”
“Can I talk to him for a moment?”
Xu Yao asked bravely:
“If he’s really still at that stage, he should be quite scared of me. If you make him come out, I’ll believe you.”
“You heard that too?”
Happy said.
“…”
There was no response in his mind.
Frowning slightly, Happy felt a hint of unease.
Taking a deep breath, he said to Xu Yao, “Forget it. He’s never faced anyone in his true identity before. Give him some time.”
“Then…”
Xu Yao hesitated and said, “I’ll assume what you said is true. So, you can never return to this world?”
“…”
Happy took a deep breath.
Though he was reluctant to admit it, he ultimately couldn’t avoid this question.
“No. Before I’m sure he can protect everything here, I’ll come back. He’s not ready to take over everything yet.”
“…”
“So, everything you said is true?”
Xu Yao’s expression changed as she said:

“These days, those Three Wolves of Loneliness have been acting really strange. Because you never practiced in a prison before… Prisons work for others, but they have no effect on you at all…”
“…”
Kai Xin smiled bitterly and didn’t reply.
“What about Xin Er?”
“Don’t ask about that…”
Kai Xin’s heavy, pained tone made Xu Yao show sympathy:
“…I hope you can keep today’s matter a secret for me. Also, don’t move away from here. I hope you can do me this small favor.”
Kai Xin said.
Xu Yao immediately understood. Kai Xin wanted her to continue meddling between the two of them and maintain the current situation…
“I’ll try my best…”
Xu Yao was also very troubled. Although she thought it was all absurd, like a dream, everything Kai Xin said was so sharp that it seemed plausible, forcing her to believe it.
“But I won’t like that Chen Kaixin. Xin Er is my good sister. I won’t let her get hurt.”
Xu Yao added this without knowing why, then looked at Kai Xin anxiously.
“…”
Kai Xin smiled bitterly again. She had thought that explaining things might give Chen Kaixin a chance to make Xu Yao reconsider, but it seemed to have the opposite effect. “Try harder on your own,” she thought to herself, before both Kai Xin and Xu Yao went back to their rooms. After closing the door, Kai Xin called out several times but got no response from her other self. Frowning, she shook her head: “I’ve done what I had to. Try harder yourself. Send me back.” With that, she lay back on the bed…
“Hey.”
After a while, Kai Xin didn’t feel the expected pull.
“Come on, don’t do this. If you don’t want me to leave, just speak up… You’re not a woman. You stay silent and won’t send me away. What’s going on? I don’t remember being this naggy back then.”
After mocking her for a while, Kai Xin finally realized something was wrong. Since returning today, she hadn’t heard a word from her other Chen Kaixin…
In the game, Chen Kaixin hadn’t moved or done anything for at least three hours; moreover, since both of them communicated through consciousness, there was no need to “speak.” They could clearly sense each other’s thoughts, just like when Kai Xin was pulled over at 12 o’clock for the first time and quickly understood the latter’s day’s experiences. But today…
It wasn’t until this moment that Kai Xin remembered she hadn’t sensed her other Chen Kaixin’s thoughts at all over the past few hours.

It seems as if this person has suddenly vanished out of thin air!
At this thought, a wave of chill surged up in Happy’s heart. She wondered: Could Chen Kaixin have been subdued by his own mental powers again?
That shouldn’t be possible.
She was here only because she couldn’t let Xu Xin and the others go… Could it be…
“It doesn’t make sense.”
Happy thought for a long time, her face gradually turning pale. “Chen Kaixin, please don’t toy with me. I can’t go back—Xu Yao will worry herself to death! Do you really want her to keep taking care of me in the hospital forever?”
At the thought of Xu Yao, scenes from the hospital unconsciously appeared in Happy’s mind…
The next moment, a strong pulling force suddenly appeared!!
