Ye Shu pressed her slightly swollen temples and glanced at Sheng Shaochen, who was sleeping soundly. With a twinge of heartache, she placed a kiss on his eyelids.
It seemed Shaochen was really exhausted.
Luckily, she didn’t wake him up.
Yet, at this moment, Ye Shu had been so frightened by the dream that she couldn’t fall back asleep.
She decided to grab her phone and sit outside on the patio to browse the web.
The summer night breeze blew, making Ye Shu’s mind even clearer. She sat perched on the chair, listlessly swiping through her phone screen.
Somehow, she opened her call log and when she saw an unfamiliar number, Ye Shu slightly furrowed her brows.
She had that dream about the three lights again today. Could it be related to what that woman, who claimed to be Aunt Hui Zi, said during the day?
After all, that woman had mentioned something about when she was five years old.
With that thought, Ye Shu dialed the unfamiliar number straight away.
However, the other end of the phone couldn’t be reached anymore.
Reflecting on it, the voice of the woman who had made the call was odd, and the things she said were unclear, not at all like she truly knew her, but rather like it was a prank.
Ye Shu scratched her head and decided to just delete the call log.
It was a long night with no sleep in sight.
Ye Shu suddenly craved a cigarette. She chuckled at the thought, but remembering how Demon King Sheng would test if she smoked... Ye Shu’s mouth twitched involuntarily, and she silently dismissed the thought.
Glancing towards the bedroom, Sheng Shaochen was still sleeping sweetly on the big bed.
She thought she might as well play a few games, sneaking "Elf Light" back onto her phone and even hiding it discreetly.
Like a primary student sneaking games behind their parents’ backs, she made all the preparations before slyly starting the game.
At three o’clock in the morning, Ye Shu thought most people would be resting, at least Handsome B wouldn’t be online, so she could have some fun inside the game.
However, she never expected that just after entering the game, Handsome B popped up in front of her like her own shadow.
[Handsome B: Little Village Flower, Little Village Flower, it’s really you! Oh, my Little Village Flower, we meet in a river of love timed wrongly, Yue Lao ties our fates, and magpies sing for us...]
[Ye Village Flower: I... Are you a night owl? Online in the middle of the night?]Can’t one play a game peacefully and quietly anymore?
[Handsome B: It’s 11 am here in the U.S. Little Village Flower, did you investigate my location just to avoid your family elder and join me in the game?]
[Ye Village Flower: ...Handsome B, if you want to make me uninstall the game a second time, keep spewing nonsense! Otherwise, let’s hurry up and play a few rounds!]
With alcohol and cigarettes off-limits, not playing games for almost a week, all the fun in life was nearly gone. Since she finally got back in the game, it certainly couldn’t be ruined by that punk Handsome B, right?
[Handsome B: No, let’s play, let’s play. Not just a few rounds, even three days and nights of intense gaming I’d be willing to accompany Village Flower...]
After saying this, Handsome B directly took Ye Shu to play various quests.
While playing, he didn’t forget to pour his heart out to Ye Shu.
[Handsome B: Village Flower, tell me, what’s so good about your chilly family elder? Why are you so nice to him? See, I match you so much better, why don’t you consider me?]
[Ye Village Flower: Shut up, little brat, do you know what death writes like? Daring to flirt with Mrs. Sheng!]
[Handsome B: Village Flower, ’Mrs. Sheng,’ I like that.]
[Ye Village Flower: Scram!]
[Handsome B: But I’ll have to roll together with Mrs. Sheng...]
