Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Though years had pa.s.sed and Xiao Qiao’s champion graphics had gone through several revisions, Qiao Lian had stuck to the character that she had been using right from the start.
Calm and unruffled, Shen Liangchuan stared steadily at his phone screen, navigating the tank to escape each time he had to recharge his hp.
After four or five times of doing this, he considered she might have vented most of her anger already.
At this thought, his mind wandered back to a time eight years ago.
He had made her angry for a reason that he could now no longer remember.
She had said directly, “Hey, don’t you know how to soothe me a little?”
He asked for her advice meekly, “How do I do that?”
“Say something sweet to me!”
“I don’t know how to do that”
“Well, apologize then.”
“I apologize.” Those two plain words obviously did nothing to satisfy her.
Xiao Qiao then ordered, “Accept the match and fight me!”
Obediently, he accepted the match. Just as he was preparing to fight, she gave him another order, “Stand still, let me hit you!”
When his hp were almost gone, she gave him more instructions, “Recharge your hp, you silly!”
At that point he was speechless, thinking that it was all a little childish and laughable.
But still he complied and recharged his life, before presenting himself to get beaten up all over again.
At the end of it all, she exhaled deeply and said, “That felt great!”
Shen Liangchuan: …
“I feel such a great sense of accomplishment beating the number one gamer to pulp!”
Shen Liangchuan: …
From then onwards, they developed a close rapport between them.
Whenever he made her angry, they would play a match.
Eventually, he even began to learn how much time she needed to beat him up to be satisfied in proportion to the degree of her fury.
Seeing that there wasn’t much time left, Xiao Qiao led her minions through the front line of defence.
He looked down at his cell phone. He couldn’t lose.
Xiao Qiao was feeling good and her anger was almost gone, when suddenly the tank changed its battle strategy.
The tank ignored the danger and dashed into the base of the tower. Then it launched an attack.
Qiao Lian was caught by surprise.
She turned and cast the stun spell… Huh? It didn’t work?
She threw her ultimate attack.
Huh? She missed!
The guy completely ignored her and continued attacking the tower.
Soon, her front line of defence fell, then her second and the last… And eventually the base.
Qiao Lian was completely speechless.
She was stunned and did not understand how this guy had been able to dodge her ultimate attack at such unbelievable speed. Furthermore, he had seemed to be able to predict the direction in which she would launch it.
Hence, she lost the game.
Qiao Lian tossed her cell phone to the side and yelled angrily, “Despicable! Come and hit me in person if you’re so smart!”
After yelling, she stuck her head out of the doorway and looked around. However, it was all quiet.
This guy… He was expecting her to return to the master bedroom? Keep dreaming!
She lay back down on the bed in the guest room, stubbornly waiting for him to come and get her instead. But as she waited, she nodded off.
When she woke up, the villa was silent, not a noise could be heard.
Feeling uncertain, she got out of bed and went downstairs. The housekeeper informed her that Shen Liangchuan had gone out.
Gone out!
Did this guy not know that she was still furious?
Just as Qiao Lian was getting worked up all over again, her cell phone suddenly rang. “Ms. Qiao, please come over quickly! Something’s happened to Brother Shen!”
Qiao Lian’s heart sank immediately. “What happened? Where are you all?”
“I’ve sent the address to you through WeChat.”
Qiao Lian changed her clothes and dashed out of the house to hail a cab. The car drove off at a high speed towards their destination.
Her heart was full of anxiety when she arrived, so she took no notice of her surroundings and quickly pushed open the restaurant’s front door.
What she saw next completely took her by surprise.
