RNP Chapter 67 Xie Xun, the Black-Cut Brother
Chapter 67 Xie Xun, the Black-Cut Brother
The next day at 1 p.m., Shu Hua's alarm clock rang countless times before being turned off by its owner.
Suddenly a bell rang, but it wasn't heard the first time.
However, the ringtone clearly did not give up and became more and more determined.
Finally, on the fifth attempt, someone heard it.
Shu Hua groggily picked up her phone and pressed buttons haphazardly. Once it quieted down, she closed her eyes again.
Suddenly, a male voice was heard.
"Not up yet?" He Peiji was genuinely surprised; he had called quite late.
I didn't expect that the little streamer wouldn't be up yet at this hour.
No wonder he's always late for live streams, how can he sleep so much?
Fortunately, he had asked Uncle Huo beforehand and knew that if the little anchor wasn't answering the phone, it must be because she hadn't gotten up, not because she was busy.
That's why he kept making the phone call.
"Hmm?" Shu Hua's mind was still not clear, and she just responded instinctively.
Upon hearing the voice, He Peiji guessed that the person on the other end was probably still unconscious. He chuckled softly, somewhat helplessly.
It seems he just grabbed the phone and randomly pressed the answer button.
It seems he was lucky; he wasn't the one who got hung up on.
"He's still not awake. This is He Peiji. I'm calling you."
"He...calling?" Shu Hua subconsciously repeated He Peiji's words, finally regaining some of her senses.
I picked up the phone and saw that it was indeed in a call.
Shu Hua: "What's wrong?"
"Are you awake right now?"
Hearing He Peiji's amused voice, Shu Hua, even though she was still not fully conscious, realized that He Peiji was mocking her.
My mind cleared up considerably in an instant. "Not really, so you can hang up now."
Hearing the somewhat angry tone in his voice, He Peiji knew that the person must have woken up by now, and that's when he got down to business.
"The meeting with Black Cutter that I told you about yesterday has been agreed to."
I happen to have some time this afternoon. How long will it take you to pack?
I've come to pick you up.
"Huh? No, isn't this a bit too efficient?"
Shu Hua slowly sat up, letting her mind fully clear.
"That has to be efficient; our time is very valuable."
Shu Hua: "Oh, you've even gone to Versailles."
"I... can get ready in about 10 minutes, come over here."
He Peiji was surprised, "So fast? Okay, I'm heading out, I'll be at your house in about 15 minutes."
"Daddy even told you my home address?" He trusts you that much.
Although, He Peiji probably doesn't have anything he wants from her.
He Peiji: "Uncle Huo asked me and Young Master Duan to take you out to play, and he's serious."
You can't drive, so you just gave us the address.
Let us know that we should take the initiative to come and meet Her Highness the Princess.
"Ew." Upon hearing the words "Your Highness," Shu Hua felt goosebumps all over her body.
Now he was as clear-headed as could be, and with a leap, he completely left his comfortable bed.
He Peiji was amused by Shu Hua's disgusted reaction and laughed, "Hahaha, it seems you're completely awake now."
"Hmm, can you not wake up?"
Okay, I'm going to wash up now, bye.
"Okay, I'm heading out."
Shu Hua finished washing up quickly, since she didn't wear makeup anyway.
However, I hesitated for a few seconds when choosing clothes.
Thinking that it was Renhe Peiji who came to pick her up, she realized that she hadn't worn the clothes he had chosen for her during yesterday's live stream.
Out of politeness, I'll wear the clothes he picked out yesterday.
Shu Hua put down her habitually picked-up tracksuit and chose a more casual dress instead.
She waited on the sofa for less than two minutes when the doorbell rang.
As soon as Shu Hua opened the door, He Peiji noticed that Shu Hua was wearing the dress he had picked out yesterday.
Thinking about it, the young streamer was quite considerate of his feelings.
He wasn't as heartless and clueless about social interactions as he thought.
He Peiji: "Very beautiful."
Shu Hua was speechless for a moment, almost rolling her eyes. "Are you bragging?"
He Peiji smiled and said, "How could that be? I was praising a person."
Shu Hua then returned a smile, "You have good taste, let's go."

The address we arranged was a themed cafe.
He Peiji really didn't expect that it was already 1:30 pm and there were still people just getting up.
On the way here, He Peiji asked Shu Hua if she wanted to change places, because he was worried she would be hungry.
Shu Hua refused outright; she hadn't had much of an appetite when she first woke up.
The coffee shop is nice; it's perfect for having some small cakes.
Upon entering the coffee shop, He Peiji immediately led Shu Hua to a window seat.
Shu Hua: No, Daddy has completely sold her out?
There's no need to tell me about these preferences, right?
A handsome guy dressed in all black was already sitting in the seat. Shu Hua thought that this must be the "Black-Cut Guy".
Hmm, the name is quite fitting; it's really dark.
After they sat down, He Peiji ordered coffee and cake for Shu Hua before introducing them.
"This is Black Cleaver Shard, whose real name is Xie Xun."
Shu Hua, yesterday's anchor, I probably don't need to introduce her, right?
After sitting down and taking a closer look, this dark-skinned guy completely matched her expectations.
He's a handsome guy who looks aloof, a perfect fit for the persona of an e-sports legend.
But when Xie Xun spoke, his voice was very gentle.
It wasn't the deep, cold voice that Shu Hua had imagined.
Xie Xun extended his hand. "Hello, I'm Xie Xun."
"Hello, hello, I'm Shu Hua."
Xie Xun nodded. "Yes, I know. I sent the email about the article request yesterday, following the instructions on your homepage."
However, He Baiji said to meet in person and talk about it, so I agreed.
If you feel this doesn't conform to procedure, we can skip this discussion today.
Shu Hua waved her hand, "It's alright, Young Master He has already told me about this."
Since I'm here, I naturally don't mind.
However, I also need to discuss the payment for this article with you.
Xie Xun: "Go ahead."
Although Shu Hua felt a little embarrassed, after all, she was asking a stranger for gossip.
However, she remained quite calm on the surface. "Well, I'm curious why you suddenly stopped watching Tao Tao's live streams."
That is, using this gossip to solicit articles.
Of course, if you feel that this involves your privacy.
"Then you can pretend I never said anything and just ask for an article as usual."
Xie Xun raised an eyebrow in surprise, finding Shu Hua's honesty unexpected. "Sure, you can ask me anything you're curious about right now."
Shu Hua: It seems that even though his voice is warm and friendly, he's still a cool guy.
I enjoy dealing with people like that.
Since the other party was so straightforward, Shu Hua wasn't embarrassed anymore and asked directly.
"You really don't watch Tao Tao's live stream anymore?"
"Yeah, I'm not looking anymore."
"Why? Didn't you always act like you were going to protect the older brother?"
A hint of doubt flashed across Xie Xun's face. "Who said I'm going to be the guardian elder brother?"
"Huh? So, that's what everyone says." Shu Hua thought back for a moment, and it seemed that it was from the comments of fans and the gossip live broadcasts that they were saying that Tao Tao was indeed a nuclear power plant.
This means we'll have another super-rich patron to protect us, and he's a big shot from the gaming community.
When Xie Xun saw Shu Hua's somewhat evasive gaze, he thought for a moment and guessed where those words came from.
This is nothing more than a common occurrence in the live streaming world: fans "binding" the streamer with big spenders.
People are spreading rumors that this big brother is going to protect someone, and because of these rumors, or perhaps for the sake of face or vanity, he might actually actually protect them.
