Chapter 93: Let’s Go On A Date Together?
Ye Xiao sat in her brand-new office, looking somewhat distracted. Tomorrow was Christmas.
In her memories of her past life, holidays like Halloween and Christmas, rich with Western cultural essence and exotic charm, had grown increasingly popular among young people due to relentless promotion by certain organizations and individuals. Merchants also seized the opportunity to create hype, foster a festive atmosphere, and attract consumers. As a result, these Western holidays gained significant social influence, overshadowing many traditional holidays.
During such holidays, every shop and business would launch various events. Overnight, the streets would exude festive cheer.
The office building where Yun Xiao worked was situated in the city center, just across the street from the most bustling commercial area in Binhai City.
Through the glass windows, she could already see numerous shops adorned with Santa Claus decorations. Christmas trees covered with little toys stood proudly at the entrances.
In this world, there had never been any backlash against celebrating Western holidays—perhaps because the local “scumbags” and “heartbreakers” needed such events to enhance the romantic atmosphere.
Ye Xiao neither promoted nor opposed Christmas. After all, in her previous life, she had been a direct beneficiary of such holidays.
Under the influence of the festive mood, the defenses of normally hard-to-capture young women would soften slightly. With a few small, beautifully wrapped gifts, a strongly suggestive “peace apple,” and Ye Xiao’s persuasive sweet talk, her female identity allowed her to effortlessly lure countless good girls into her bed.
Once they experienced the skills Ye Xiao had honed with care, these girls would inevitably succumb, both body and soul.
In her past life, Ye Xiao was a true heartbreaker, manipulating girls and using their bodies. However, she took emotions seriously. For every girl she “conquered,” she was responsible and treated them well.
Most of them, however, would not choose to come out of the closet, even after experiencing the joy Ye Xiao provided. For them, as long as they didn’t verbalize their feelings, it was as if nothing significant had happened. At most, they’d continue to meet Ye Xiao for nightly runs as jogging buddies.
In her previous life, Ye Xiao was undoubtedly a “queen of the sea”, but she competed in a market dominated by men.
As the holiday approached, China also kicked off its winter promotions and discounts. Even though her new game had just launched, Ye Xiao chose to participate in the seasonal sales—albeit with a modest 10% discount.
Even so, My World experienced a significant surge in sales. Many players, influenced by the “buy early, enjoy early; buy late, get discounts” mentality, decided to purchase the game after some peer pressure from classmates and friends.
This sudden influx of players caused immense strain on the servers. The additional servers Ye Xiao had recently purchased were already running at maximum capacity.
During the last round of campus recruitment, they had hired 20 fresh graduates. Out of these, 15 were allocated to the upstairs Yun-Xiao Interactive Entertainment team.
Since Yun-Xiao’s office space was still under renovation, those 15 hires were temporarily sent home without signing their contracts yet.
This left the interns assigned by Ye Xiao scrambling to complete their tasks, working themselves into a frenzy.
The planning for My World was still entirely under Ye Xiao’s control, but the game’s operations had been handed over to the newly recruited “Paladins” (interns) to manage.
Ye Xiao, after assigning tasks to her team, returned to her office and found herself daydreaming.
Christmas Eve—a day that brought back countless memories for her.
Today marked the first time Ye Xiao officially sat in the spacious office that Shen Yunchu had set up for her, comfortably settled into a luxurious executive chair.
Even now, as Ye Xiao sat alone in a daze, the fact that she had transmigrated into this world still felt surreal, like a dream she couldn’t quite wake up from.
“Wake up, useless host! You’ve got at least five or six Christmas Eve invitations from different women. Are you not going to check your phone?”
Indeed, ever since yesterday, when she’d been terrified of Ye Youran’s punishment, she hadn’t dared to touch her phone. It had been left on the side, completely ignored.
Prompted by Sister Tongzi’s reminder, Ye Xiao awkwardly picked it up and lit the screen.
Opening her messaging app, she found a total of seven invitations for Christmas Eve dates.
First, she immediately eliminated the pervert from her potential plans for the evening.
No way was she spending the night with someone like that.
Lu Shiyu’s gaze always seemed like it could pierce through her and meld her into her very being—it was downright terrifying.
Though Lu Shiyu was undeniably gorgeous, with a perpetual rosy glow to her cheeks, the way she stared at Ye Xiao, breathing heavily with shining eyes, was more than enough to make her take a step back.
No matter how beautiful someone might be, if they were a pervert, Ye Xiao wanted no part of it.
Who knew if spending time with such a person might lead to something even more outrageous than what Li Mengyue had pulled that night?
Without even giving Lu Shiyu’s message a second glance, Ye Xiao deleted it outright.
That left six others: Su Ruoxue, Li Mengyue, Jiang Qingyue, Lu Shiqing, Shen Yunchu, and Jiang Mengwei.
Ye Xiao wasn’t surprised by the first five names, but Jiang Mengwei being on the list left her puzzled.
For one, Jiang Mengwei wasn’t one of her admirers—at least, not yet. Moreover, the two of them hadn’t had any interactions that could be considered beyond friendship.
However, given that Jiang Mengwei was set to be a future cornerstone of Yun-Xiao Interactive Entertainment, outright rejecting her invitation might make her feel undervalued.
Thankfully, the six invitations weren’t all concentrated on Christmas Eve night; they were evenly distributed between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Still, Ye Xiao, with her crippling indecisiveness, found herself in a bind.
No matter which girl she chose to spend time with, rejecting the others could lead to trouble if they found out she’d chosen someone else over them. How would the rejected ones feel?
Caught between a rock and a hard place, Ye Xiao eventually turned to Sister Tongzi for advice.
“Sister Tongzi, help me out here!”
“You really are a useless host. Something this simple, and you can’t figure it out? Why not just date them all at the same time?”
“All… at the same time?”
Ye Xiao immediately shook her head. Just yesterday, her older sister discovering her secret identity had ended in disaster. As the saying goes, three women make a scene—six would be enough for two full-blown dramas.
“Exactly! A group date. What, haven’t you experienced anything like a battle royale or a grand fantasy carnival?”
Oh, so that’s what Sister Tongzi meant. As long as she didn’t gather all six women together, creating a deadly beauty-filled Asura Formation, Ye Xiao figured she could manage.
That said, Sister Tongzi’s suggestion seemed even worse than just dating all six women at once.
At least that way, she could avoid some truly bizarre situations.
