The next morning, the sun was shining brightly. The snow that had acc.u.mulated in A City for several days melted.
Su Ji was doing her own pregnancy exercises in the courtyard.
She could gradually say goodbye to crutches now.
Xu Mingzhi looked at her daughter’s agile figure from the second floor and nodded in satisfaction.
Back in the house, Su Ji raised her head and gulped down a mouthful of cool mineral water. The fine sweat on her forehead was crystal clear, and the towel hung on her fair neck. As she swallowed, her throat rose and fell gently.
Even her sweat smelled good.
Aunt Wu made hot tea, roasted oranges, rice cakes, and longans. In winter, there was nothing more comfortable than brewing tea.
“Miss, eat something first. We’ll have breakfast in an hour,” Aunt Wu said with a smile.
“No rush.”
She woke up early today.
She went into the house to drink tea and eat snacks before returning to her room to take a shower.
When she lived with her mother, her work and rest would become inexplicably regular.
During the few days in the apartment, she slept until noon every day.
When she was in the apartment, she slept, ate and video called her handsome fiancé at any time.
Although she wasn’t very healthy, every day was like a dream.
Coming out of the bathroom, she saw the gaming team channel on her phone. Her followers were quite lively today.
Casar had made a good deal that could help him return to the top of the XBY-rich list, while Xiao Ken was inspired to write a song. Both of them had time to relieve their gaming addiction.
Su Junye was always on standby. He would be the first to show up.
Su Ji’s new underling, King and Knight, had been waiting for a chance to play since last night.
The few members of the team hit it off and waited for Su Ji to blow the battle horn. Su Ji did not let them down and sent a team invitation. The four underlings returned to their positions in a second!
Time pa.s.sed quickly in the game, and an hour pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye.
Everyone returned to the game room. In the team, Emperor Casar sent a message.
[ “I have a meeting. Let’s play again next time.” ]
[ Come on baby: “Alright, I’m going to work now.” ]
[ Daniel Wu from Beijing: “Today’s first period is actually Yama’s (a professor’s nickname) cla.s.s. Dad said that if I fail again, my card will be suspended!” ]
In the blink of an eye, three of the four lackeys retreated. Su Ji asked King and Knight that was left in the room.
[ Sonorous Rose: “Still playing?” ]
[ Sonorous Rose: “Let’s call it a day?” ]
Henry was still one star away from advancing to the next rank. His tone was very friendly, and he wanted Sonorous Rose to guide him for another round.
The game did not last long. Su Ji glanced at the stairs and saw that the elevator had stopped steadily on the second floor. There was no movement, and it seemed that the meal had not been served yet.
Retracting her gaze, she replied to Henry in the game. [ Sonorous Rose: “Alright, let’s play another round.” ]
Henry rubbed his fists. Boss really doted on him!
The game was matched, and the two of them were still half-playing and communicating with words as usual.
Henry had once asked to chat with his boss through voice chat, but it wasn’t just to listen to his boss’ voice. It was mainly because typing and playing games were somewhat inconvenient, especially during group battles. Both hands were occupied, and there was no way to send text at all.
However, Su Ji still refused.
If she met her fans and her voice recognized, wouldn’t she lose her online reputation?
Henry respected his boss’ decision. Since then, he never made such a request again. He just used text chat. However, he still slightly curious. He had also imagined his boss’ voice.
A cute little girl, or a masculine neutral voice, or…
He clearly felt that boss was highly respected in the team, and her underlings were extremely supportive of her, so maybe…an elder of some age?
Henry often watched the Chinese news and had a certain imagination of the voice of a Chinese woman in her forties.
In this game, Henry was focused on growth, but the support in his team didn’t follow him and kept following the mage in the middle lane.
Henry was one against two and was suppressed to the point that he could not leave the tower. He was very aggrieved.
They could only rely on his boss to support him from time to time.
The two in the middle lane were a couple. They must still be in their honeymoon period and were stuck together.
The two of them had their voice chat on, but once the mage took the kill, the support would send her a compliment.
The mage replied, “thank you.”
However, most of the time, the two of them kept dying. They would still comfort each other, “it’s fine!”
Then, just as this pair of desperate lovebirds had already died 18 times in a row and were still consoling each other, Henry panicked!
He immediately turned on his voice chat.
Su Ji did not turn on her voice chat, so she could not hear anything. She just watched as her mage, support, and archer all stood motionless under the turret. The minions did not use any skills when they attacked the turret.
No matter how well she developed financially, she definitely couldn’t play like this.
Most importantly, didn’t her underling want to advance in rank?
She noticed that all three of them had turned on their voice chat, and the small icon that showed the voice chat was flashing.
Out of curiosity, Su Ji turned on her voice chat too. She had almost never turned on voice chat before, so she could not tell which of the two b.u.t.tons was for silence and which was for sound, so she simply turned them on. Anyway, as long as she did not speak, no one could hear her even if she turned on the microphone.
After a few sizzling sounds, there was a sound inside.
Henry was so angry that he bombarded his unlucky teammates with a combination of Chinese and English. His tone was especially excited, and it could be said to be a roar.
It sounded quite imposing.
Su Ji raised her eyebrows. His foreign p.r.o.nunciation was very accurate. Her little disciple was actually a foreigner. No wonder he was so silly.
She only heard the end. The couple obviously couldn’t win against Henry. The two of them turned off their voice chat at the same time and hung up.
“Boss?”
At this moment, a Chinese voice with a foreign accent came from the phone.
He had just shouted at the top of his lungs, so his voice was a little hoa.r.s.e now.
Henry noticed that his boss had also turned on voice chat.
How rare!
Su Ji was slightly stunned. Just as she was about to turn off the voice chat, the mechanical sound of the elevator coming up from the first floor sounded outside the door, followed by the sound of powerful footsteps. Xu Mingzhi’s figure appeared at the door of the room. She knocked on her daughter’s door.
“Baby, it’s time to eat.”
Xu Mingzhi was fine with her playing games, but she could not delay mealtimes because of games!
Su Ji put down her phone in a second, looking especially obedient.
Henry didn’t get a response from her boss and was disappointed. In the next second, a young girl’s voice came from inside.
“Okay, mom, I’ll go downstairs right away…”
That voice was gentle and delicate like Henry had never heard before! It was like a cup of matcha-flavored hot milkshake on a cold winter day!
