Chapter 784: Never a Decent Man (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It had only started off as a quibble between a young couple, but why did one thing lead to another in such a coincidental way?
How had Zhong Yue lost her? Why did she lose her mind after that? And why had she been sent to a mental hospital that quickly…
More importantly, Zhong Yue hadn’t lost her mind!
An Xiaxia sorted through what she knew and the hair on her back stood up. She even broke into a cold sweat!
Everything started after Chu Zhiyun showed up.
Her fingers were shaking so badly that she had to toss her phone aside.
Her stomach turned and she felt nauseated. She scrambled to the bathroom and retched, but nothing came out.
Was it because she hadn’t slept well during the flight?
An Xiaxia shook her head, got rid of her crazy ideas, and lay back in bed.
She couldn’t dwell on it anymore. If what she guessed was true, how terrifying would that make Chu Zhiyun?
–
Because he still had work to do, Chi Yuanfeng left the same day he arrived. An Xiaxia and Fang Shanshan were so bored that they felt like mushrooms were going to grow out of their heads. In the end, An Xiaxia turned out to be the cleverer one and suggested, “Let’s play some game!”
Fang Shanshan had never played online games before and knew nothing about them. She got addicted to the game during her recovery and it didn’t seem like she would get tired of it any time soon.
After the pregnant Su Xiaomo learned about this, she joined in enthusiastically. However, she limited herself to playing one hour a day for the sake of her baby.
Following An Xiaxia’s instructions, Fang Shanshan’s avatar reached the top level within two weeks. An Xiaxia was going to forge some equipment for Fang Shanshan when the latter spent a small fortune of real money and bought herself an entire set of top notch equipment. An Xiaxia almost felt envious.
“Come! Let’s have some fun in the arena!” Fang Shanshan entered the arena happily, joined some random team, and got slaughtered as soon as the match started.
She was dumbfounded. “How was I killed? My equipment is so good!”
An Xiaxia, who had seen how she had handled her avatar, said in a tone full of despair, “Hold on. Let me get two more people and we’ll do this together. Keep getting killed like this and you’ll wear out your equipment in no time.”
An Xiaxia took out her phone and typed a line in her gamers chat group: Arena, anyone?
It was the middle of the night back at home and very few people were online.
After a long while, someone finally replied: I’ll go.
Qi Yanxi?
An Xiaxia was a little dazed. Just then, there was an incoming message on her phone. “I’m in. Add me to your team.”
“Oh, sure.” An Xiaxia added him without giving it much thought. Together with two other friends from her guild, she led the team of five into the arena.
They won easily this time and Fang Shanshan the novice was over the moon. “Wow, Xiaxia, you and your friends are all so good at this!”
“We’re alright, I guess. We’ve been playing this for so long.” An Xiaxia grinned. After some thought, she typed a line in the dialog box in the game. “Flower Qi, why are you still up?”
Over on the other end, Qi Yanxi’s fingers stopped above the keyboard and he remained in that position for a long time, not knowing how to reply.
Mu Li in her nightgown pushed the door to the study open, asking gently, “Yanxi, are you not coming to bed?”
She remembered that Qi Yanxi had been playing on his phone. He had then chatted with someone before getting out of bed and coming to the study.
“I can’t sleep. I’ll play some game. Go to bed. Don’t wait up.” Qi Yanxi smiled at her.
Mu Li tugged at the lower hem of her dress and forced out a smile.
Qi Yanxi had changed.
He had never been this gentle before.
He was no longer the man she used to know.
