Huo Yunshen was almost drooling at the smell of the food.
“You should eat more, then.”
Xu Xiyan dutifully scooped rice and soup into his bowls, then picked some meat and vegetables for him with her chopsticks.
“Mmm, not bad! It’s delicious! Really delicious!”
Huo Yunshen ate his food in big mouthfuls, devouring whatever Xu Xiyan picked for him.
Xu Xiyan watched the man gobble up his food, and she actually pitied him.
How did Huo Yunshen live his life all these years?
How lonely was it to live all by yourself?
She felt pity for him and wanted to treat him better.
After dinner, Xu Xiyan cleaned up in the kitchen and then went over to play a video game with Huo Yunshen.
After they had set up the computer and the gaming equipment, Xu Xiyan handed a gamepad to him.
“What game do you usually play?”
“The Royal’s Alliance.”
Whenever Huo Yunshen was bored, he would play some games on his mobile phone.
“Really? I’m playing that game too.”
They both logged into their accounts. Xu Xiyan logged into her male character account, “Gongzi Yaoye.”
She hadn’t created the account herself. It was her senior Ye Xun who had created the account for her when he was still teaching her to play the game a few years ago, and Xu Xiyan had been using it ever since.
At first, her senior had helped her with the leveling until “Gongzi Yaoye” was ranked number 3 in the server. Then the account was transferred to Xu Xiyan.
“Actually, I don’t have much time to play games,” Xu Xiyan said. “I’m really bad at whatever I play. Please don’t laugh at me!”
“No, I won’t. Let’s team up and go kill some mobs.”
Huo Yunshen logged into the game. Like Xu Xiyan, his account was a character account of the opposite sex, a girl named “Yun Qing.”
His third sister, Huo Sanyan, had insisted on installing the game on his mobile phone. She was also the one who had registered and named the female character account for him. She did it because she was worried that he would feel bored being alone.
He was not an avid gamer, but he was still pretty good at the game. His IQ was very high, and he came to realize that he could reach the top whenever he applied himself.
Though he had only spent a small amount of time, his account “Yun Qing” was already ranked Number 1 in the whole server.
After Xu Xiyan had entered the game, she began to take control of her character. The dashing Gongzi Yaoye was online and summoned his spirit beast mount and rode towards the main city.
“Oh, I have to tell you that I’m playing as a male character and my senior helped me create this account. I don’t usually play online games but I was convinced to play this one.”
Huo Yunshen smiled.
“Really? Then you won’t be surprised if I tell you that I’m playing as a female character. My account was created five years ago by my third sister. She pulled me into the game.”
They both seemed to be in the same boat and smiled at each other.
“I’m married in the game,” Xu Xiyan continued, “and my wife is really strong. What about you?”
Xu Xiyan had found a powerful wife in the game to protect her because she was too weak at the time.
Every time she went questing with her in-game wife, there was never a need to help her out because her in-game wife was so powerful that she could wipe out mobs of enemies in mere seconds.
“I’m also married to someone else, just for questing purposes,” Huo Yunshen explained.
Xu Xiyan saw that her in-game wife was online. She said, “My wife is online now. Let’s team up with her later, and you can see how awesome she is at killing enemies.”
“My husband is also online.”
Xu Xiyan tilted her head and stared at the man in front of her after he said the words “my husband.” Why did it sound so wrong?
