Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Online Gaming God VS The Affectionate Disciple (Part 7)
The phone rang, and Gu Shengyin picked it up casually; it was Li Yue, a particularly close friend from the past.
“Xiao Xiao, I’m in J City now. Should I come to see you?” Li Yue’s voice was filled with caution.
It was no wonder she was so cautious. Since a year ago, she hadn’t seen Shen Xiaoxiao, even though she had been to Shen Xiaoxiao’s house, she had never managed to get past the door.
“Sure, when will you come over?” Gu Shengyin answered.
“Alright, I…” Li Yue suddenly paused.
What had Xiao Xiao just said?
“My flight was in the morning, I should arrive around eleven,” she said, somewhat excited.
“Xiao Xiao!” Li Yue bent down and gave Gu Shengyin a big hug.
She looked at her friend. Yes, her complexion looked good and the house was tidy. It didn’t look like that of someone wallowing in self-pity.
It seemed that Xiao Xiao had successfully moved on.
The bigger surprise came later: “You haven’t eaten yet, right? I can’t really host you here. Let’s go out to eat, and after that, you can push me to the park for a walk. It’s been so long since I’ve been out.”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Li Yue hastily agreed.
She was worried Shen Xiaoxiao would from then on be averse to going out.
The two chose a famous restaurant in S City.
“Young Master Mo, what are you looking at?”
Mo Tingyuan averted his gaze: “Nothing.”
The person who had just spoken curiously looked in that direction, only to see the back of someone pushing a wheelchair.
“Xiao Xiao, look at that guy, he’s really handsome!” Li Yue suddenly whispered to Gu Shengyin.
Gu Shengyin glanced indifferently in the direction she indicated.
His features were distinct and refined, his demeanor gentle and serene; indeed quite handsome.
He looked somewhat familiar…
Gu Shengyin blinked; what a coincidence!
She remembered now, wasn’t this Mountains and Rivers in One Sword?
It looked like he hadn’t altered his appearance at all from the game, it’s just that the ancient costume and modern dress made Gu Shengyin not realize it at first.
Mo Tingyuan felt someone watching him and looked back to find it was the woman he had noticed before.
Gu Shengyin didn’t feel awkward and nodded at him politely before looking away.
Mo Tingyuan found it funny, as it was rare to see a girl behaving so naturally in his presence.
His laughter successfully startled Zhang Yang, who was eating: “I say, Young Master Mo, did you see something funny?”
This time he caught a full view of Gu Shengyin’s face, and exclaimed in surprise: “Ah, so it was a beauty you were looking at… It’s just a pity,” he regretfully glanced at the wheelchair beneath Gu Shengyin.
“Eat your food,” Mo Tingyuan countered coolly.
“I’m going to the restroom, Xiao Xiao, wait here for me a moment.” As they reached the elevator, Li Yue suddenly spoke to Gu Shengyin with a subtle expression.
Mo Tingyuan walked out and saw the girl sitting alone in her wheelchair waiting for the elevator, her companion nowhere in sight.
“Do you need help?” he found himself asking as he approached her.
Gu Shengyin looked up in surprise, saw that it was Mo Tingyuan, and smiled: “No, thank you, my friend will be back soon.”
No sooner had she finished speaking than Li Yue came over.
“Xiao Xiao, who are these two?” she asked, surprised.
“Kind-hearted good people,” Gu Shengyin put it succinctly.
“Pfft,” Zhang Yang burst out laughing at the description. Was that a line from a primary school textbook?
