Kapitel 12: Lucky rabbit's foot.

As soon as Jin Kang mentioned calling security, the three women left quickly with their children. 

"Damn old gossipy things." Jin Kang cursed unhappily. 

First it was the reporters and now this, would the school really have to close down? And why in the world had her friend married Zhang Caishen? Was it to take revenge on Billi or was she forced to do it? 

She briefly stepped out of her office and went next door to speak to Alix. No matter how many times she knocked, on the door or called for her, Alix did not open. And when she tried to open the door, it did not budge, 

Worried, she returned to her office and sent a text to their other friend, the third and last member of their small group, Holea. 

[Do you know what's going on with Xi-Xi?] 

Meanwhile, Zhang Caishen saw the footage of Alix's mobbing by the press when his assistant showed it to him. 

"I can't believe that this Lin Billi is saying nothing. That hypocritical woman is happily sharing pictures of herself with messages like, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. She is deliberately allowing this narrative to replace the truth so that she can continue being portrayed as the wronged party." 

Caishen heard all that his secretary said and his eyes developed that cold sharp piercing glint which made many people squirm. 

"Call Mo Sin in here." Caishen told his secretary.

"Why?" Secretary Gu asked him.

"To do his job." Caishen said through gritted teeth. "A smear on my wife's name affects my company. If the PR department cannot do their job then I might as well terminate them all and find capable people."

"Yes sir." Secretary Gu answered.

"And call the house, tell them to send body guards from the house to protect her. Everyone thinks they can step on my toes just because I am in this damn chair. Find those reporters and file a police report too, they assaulted her."

"Yes sir." Secretary Gu answered. "Will you be calling the young madam to check on her?"

Caishen gave Secretary Gu a confused look. "Why should I call her?"

"She is your wife and she might be injured. I mean, she said you are her man. It's only right that her man checks on her when she is injured."

Caishen looked at his phone with a scowl on his face. This marriage thing was quite troublesome too. Well, she did carry a torch for him for many years, just one phone call would probably make her happy.

He touched his phone and then he looked Secretary Gu.

"I don't have her contact." He said.

Secretary Gu was taken aback, but then again, considering the circumstances under which the two got married, this was not much of a surprise.

"Do you have it?" Caishen asked him.

"Why would I have your wife's contact?" Gu Biming asked, even moving backwards as if something else had been indicated, something more outrageous.

"Find it." Caishen told him.

Secretary Gu left the office, just as Caishen initiated a phone call with an important client.

Before the lunch hour, he returned to Caishen with Alix's phone number, email, Instagram, weibo, douyin. If she had an account anywhere on any on social media, he provided it.

Even the schools emails, Jin Kang's contacts, nanny Luo' contact, as long as it was a way of contacting Alix, Secretary Gu delivered it.

Taking Gu Biming's advise, he called her as soon the secretary left. 

Alix did not answer the call, however, she was too busy finishing her quest, playing a tune for the canaries on a cello, suggested by the system. 

Over the years, even before her fingers were injured, she had dabbled in many forms of music, playing different instruments for fun. She was no expert when it came to the cello but she could handle it as an amateur. 

It took her a few tries, but she got the tune right, and mother canary woke up. 

Alix thought that only the town chief would reward her but she was wrong, mother canary gave her two canaries as a gift. 

When she returned to the town chief, he gave her a rabbit's foot as a reward. 

"What does this do?" she asked. 

The town chief answered, "Guaranteed pregnancy on the first try, it has a five time usage." 

It was not quite what she expected when she played the game, she thought she would be getting, Alix's thoughts paused and she asked herself, What exactly did I think I would be getting? 

"Don't you have gold coins or something like a miraculous medicine?" she asked him. How was the rabbit's foot supposed to make her rich? 

"No, the town chief answered, but I have this kitten." He shoved a black kitten with white patches on it's feet in her hands. "My son raises these things, I have too many in the bakery, please take it. It's a lucky cat." 

The town chief went on his merry way, leaving her with a kitten and a rabbits foot. 

"System." Alix called in a befuddled and unhappy voice. 

"Let's take a look at your skills." the system said in reply. "You chose bard so the system will reward you with skills related to your profession. 

Piano [12/100]

Cello [2/100]

Guitar [1.5/100]

Saxophone [0/100]

Guzheng [1/100]

Guqin [1/100]

Harp [0/100]

The list was long, and it continued on, naming every music instrument ever known to mankind including leaves. 

"Over here you have opened your other personal attributes section."

Hearing: [3/100]

Vision: [10/100]

Speed: [2/100]

Strength: [5/100]

Vitality: [40/100]

These had not been available before, she was seeing them for the first time. She always thought that she was skilled in piano but the system only gave her twelve points. When it came to other music instruments, it was even worse. 

As for personal attributes, her vitality threw her off even more. 

"System, in which way am I not healthy?" 

An image of her body appeared on the virtual screen and the little blue haired elf started pointing, "Broken fingers, crooked spine, slightly yellowish skin, weak nails, thin hair." 

"Oh my god stop, you have made your point, I get it." she said. 

It might as well tell her to return to the factory for a complete physical factory reset. 

"You have earned all together one hundred ten points on this mission, you can assign these points to the skills and personal attributes you wish to change." 

"Piano." she blurted out instantly, "Twenty points to piano, ten to cello and similarly to guitar. Fifteen to guzheng, and all the rest distribute equally between my personal attributes." 

As the points were distributed, she asked the system, what should she do with these pets? 

"Take them home, of course, I told you that lucky items can be taken into the real world for use or sell. As for your fingers, there are many medicine shops in the gaming world, visit a few and purchase herbs, portions or pills. This system will go and find more quests for you." 


Kapitel 13: The ex pays a visit

The moment she opened the door to her office, Alix was grabbed unexpectedly and pulled outside. With a yelp, stumble and near fall, she landed on a very hard masculine chest. One that added felt familiar to her hands.

She steadied herself quickly and looked at her savior who was also the cause of her predicament and irritation came over her face. 

"Wei Tao," she said the name unhappily with anger. 

He was her ex boyfriend, a rising actor who had sucked her money to further his career like a mosquito trying to drain a human body of blood. As soon as the fame came, he started claiming that his manager had asked him to keep the relationship secret. 

When he won the best new comer award last year, she had stopped hearing from him and did not set her eyes on him again. 

Even now, he was wearing a mask, a hat and sun glasses, taking every measure to hide his face. 

"What brings a great actor like yourself to the doors of my small music school?" Alix asked sarcastically, clenching her fists to stop herself from starting another scandal because she had punched the new beloved actor of their country. 

"Xi-Xi, let's talk." he told her, grabbing her hand as he looked around furtively like a thief. 

She took her hand back and said to him, "I have nothing to say to you, you should leave." 

He reached for her hand again, but a girl walked by and waved at Alix. 

Just as she expected, he abandoned her hand and looked away so that the girl would not identify him. 

"Qing Ru An, come here." Alix called the girl.

 

"Damn it, Xi-Xi, we really need to talk. I am sorry that I have been silent all this while. Please, answer my calls, hmm, or my texts on we chat. I really need to explain things." He said this hastily and made a quick exit, rushing out of the front doors with his head facing down. 

Alix was glad to see him go, there was nothing to talk about between them anyway. She was officially married to Zhang Caishen, nothing would change that in the near future. Even if something did change, she would never go back to Wei Tao. 

"Teacher Alix, did you want to see me for something?" The girl she had called over to use as an excuse to scare Wei Tao away asked her. 

Alix scratched her right eyebrow with a finger and said slowly, "Hmm, how are your classes going?" 

"They are okay, I am considering signing up for the winter winter harmony classic competition. I probably won't make it to the finals but it's a good learning experience." The girl answered. 

Qing Ru An was a sweet girl, she had been with the school since the beginning. Alix liked her because she reminded her of herself, focused on the music and nothing else. 

She was also from a poor background, and she worked part time jobs to pay for tuition here and support herself. 

"How old are you?"

"Twenty two, teacher, why are you asking?" she looked at Alix curiously. 

"Because I want to take you under my wing, you should sign up for the competition I will start training you tomorrow. If you need money to register then talk to teacher Jia and she can sign you up under the name of the school." Alix touched the girl's head and smiled softly. "Don't worry, there is no instrument in the world that I cannot play." 

She had a system and skills, with them, her music school would rise to be the best in the entire country. And after the country, internationally. Alix smiled as she imagined the day she would run a school that music prodigies came to attend from all over the world. 

Reality was never far, and when she looked at where she was, it hit her . 

"Humm," she sighed. 

"Play the game and your dream will become a reality." the system told her. 

"If it were up to you I would be playing all day." she told it. 

"And what's wrong with that?" it answered. 

"Search the internet and read about the dangers of game addiction." she told it. 

Piak!!, She felt a slap on her back, winced and turned around. 

"Jin Kang, why would you hit me?" she asked in a whiny voice. 

Her friend rolled her eyes and pulled her into her office, pushed her in a chair and sat across from her.

"Start talking, when, why and how did you marry Zhang Caishen?" she asked her. The where was already known.

Alix pinched her fingers as she considered the questions and how best they could be answered to satisfy the gossipy nature of her friend which was accompanied by anger and worry. Jin knew her too well that she could not lie to her. 

"It just happened." she answered. 

"Are you crazy? Marriage does not just happen, especially marriage to a stranger." Jin Kang shouted. 

"Shhhh!" Alix urgently dashed over to Jin Kang and covered her mouth. "Don't shout, someone might overhear." 

Jin Kang mumbled a few words out and bit Alix's hand. 

"You, Jin Kang, you bite people now. Are you a dog?" Alix was the loud one this time round as she looked at the part of her hand that her friend had bitten. 

"Who is the dog? You are the dog? How dare you call your friend a dog?" Jin Kang replied feistily. 

Alix rolled her eyes and sat down, where she had been previously. "Why are you so feisty today?" 

"Because my friend was trapped into marriage with a man who..." she broke off and shook her head. "His legs don't work Alix, he is known for his cold demeanor, his cranky temper and his piercing eyes which they say burn hotter than a fire . And I am sure that your family pushed you to him for some benefits. You and I both know that Billi was supposed to marry him or am I wrong? "

 

"You are wrong, I married him willingly. I liked Zhang Caishen when I was young, and I took advantage of the opportunity to marry him." Alix said, very seriously. 

Jin Kang rolled her eyes and asked her, "You are really going to be stubborn about this it seems.

Do you think that I am stupid Alix? You were still secretly pining over Wei Tao three months ago. 

You went to a bar and drunk yourself silly then scratched a bus that had his picture on the night he won that award.

How can you possibly assure me that you willingly married Zhang Caishen when you don't even know if you still love Wang Tao?"
