Chapter 37 Playing Games

After Rowan dropped the cat off at home,he put the button on the entryway cabinet and was ready to go home.

Only,just as he opened the door,he realize that his pant leg was being tugged by something.

Rowan lowered his head and found the orange cat crouching at his feet,looking at him unblinkingly with a pair of big round eyes.

He hesitated and asked,"Something else?"

Selene nodded.

She wasn't very good at jumping up and down right now with her injured foot,so naturally she couldn't get her snacks,and how was she going to make it through the long night without them to keep her company.

Selene took the person to her studies.

She ran to the front of the button area.

"Snacks."

Rowan was a little surprised,"What do you want to eat?"

Selene looked expectantly at the top drawer of the cabinet that held her cat bars.

I don't know why she didn't have much of a craving when she was a human,but after she turned into a cat she became a glutton and always wanted something to eat.

Before Faye didn't know anything about owning a cat and didn't care what snacks she ate,but since the guy watched a pet science video for a while a few days ago,he'd taken control of her cat strips and hid them in a drawer that she couldn't reach after she'd turned into a cat.

The goal was to make her eat less unhealthy food,giving her a limit of one strip a week.

Selene actually understood that Faye was doing it for her own good,so she obediently followed the rule.

Even though she had just eaten it two days ago,wasn't this Faye's absence?

The person who made the rules was away,so it should be okay for her to have a small indulgence,right?

Rowan followed the orange cat's expectant gaze as he opened the drawer and was momentarily a little lost for words when he saw the wide array of cat bars.

He still knew that a lot of cats liked cat strips,as they were just like the spicy strips humans ate,unhealthy but tasty.

But he didn't realize that Selene,who was a human,would also be fascinated by such things.

Rowan sighed helplessly and took out a cat strip,squatted down,tore the cat strip open and handed it to the orange cat's mouth.

Selene was looking at Rowan more and more favorably this time.

Just now he was very on board,cooperated with her seamlessly,successfully uncovered the true face of the scum,and now he was also very considerate to help her squeeze the cat strip,so that it was convenient for her to eat it.

Selene finished her cat strips contentedly and rubbed her head against Rowan's hand to show her appreciation.

This was cat etiquette.She had learned from Bella and Oliver.She was a polite person and a polite kitty when it came to cats.

She slowly waddled back to her cat couch and stretched out comfortably,not noticing that Rowan behind her had frozen in place,ears red.

Rowan withdrew his hand and immediately stood up,very calmly so to speak,and made his way to the door,which should have looked more natural if he hadn't been on the same arm and leg.

Until the door separated the two spaces.

Only then did he lean against the door and exhale.

Puzzled,Rowan raised his hand to his eyes and watched his fingers for a moment against the hallway light.

There was clearly nothing out of the ordinary.

But why did he always feel that his fingers were electrified in that moment just now,and even now he had a bit of a tingling illusion,and his heart was itching,like something was taking root.

Rowan put his hand to his heart,feeling the overloaded heartbeat while thinking:

Today,I have to go back and write the"confession letter",otherwise he will really be tortured by Selene's unintentional behavior to the point of arrhythmia.

-Selene heard the door close.

Selene opened her sleepy eyes when she heard the door close.

She yanked over her tablet and opened WeChat.

As expected,she received a tweet from Linda describing the series of events that had just happened,and that Linda wasn't kidding about calling the police,she had,and the police department said they would be coming over tomorrow to investigate and collect evidence.

Selene scolded Linda for a while more about the scum's bad behavior before ending the conversation.

Right after that she opened the chat window with Rowan again.

Rowan sends her a message.

[Neighbor:It's done and got the oranges home.]

[Selene:Too much trouble!Grateful!]

Rowan looks at the screen and the corners of his mouth can't help but turn up slightly as he slowly types.

[Neighbor:It's no trouble,I think you did the right thing,and I'm glad I could help.]

Linda would be in pain for a long time if she lost her beloved cat.

For people,pets aren't just as simple as the animals they keep,they are also family members,emotional supports that allow them to heal their hearts by still having a piece of paradise in the midst of their complicated worldly lives.

Selene saw the message and bent her eyes as well.

After thinking about it,she clicked on Rowan's avatar and changed his note.This was the second time she changed Rowan's note.

[Tomorrow,Orange might have to ask for your help too.]

[Rowan Jr:Okay.]

After closing the chat window,Selene opened the backstage of Station F again,ready to go upload the video,but just as she opened it,she saw a lot of red dots,with a lot of viewers'comments and private messages,all of which asked why she wasn't broadcasting live,worrying that something had happened to her or Orange.

It was her negligence.

Not that many people had followed her before,so she hadn't had the sense to report it.

Selene uploaded a new video on fire,posted another update,and went to Twitter to tweet about it.

She wasn't able to go live or record videos these days,not only because of Faye's absence,but also because of this paw of hers.

Humans working with injuries would be evaluated as dedicated,but a kitten who is injured and still has to come out for business,it would be strange for its owner not to be scolded.

But Selene didn't dare to say it was because the cat was injured that she didn't broadcast live,then it would be over if Faye saw it,so she could only say that she had to go out and travel on the National Day and take a few days off.

After finishing her serious business,Selene started her entertainment life again.

Recently,she had discovered another game that was also good for killing time.

That is...Landlord!

Board games are all quite time-consuming,but Selene still prefers playing cards with an element of luck to playing chess,which is purely based on strength.

This way,if you lose,you won't feel that it's because your card skills are too bad,and you can still shrug it off as bad luck.

Selene confidently received the game's daily free gift of six thousand game coins,and then clicked the match button.

Then...it only took twenty minutes for Selene to lose all the coins,looking at the"not enough coins,can't match the player"prompt fell into silence.

I can't,I'm not happy,I didn't play well just now.

Selene clicked on the channels to get the game coins,and found that either she had to charge money,or send the link to her friends and ask them to help.

One costs money and the other doesn't,she is certainly not stupid,of course she has to choose the one that doesn't cost money.

Selene decisively clicked on the send link,and chose Faye as the sender.

Faye was still chatting at her friend's house when her cell phone rang with a message.

She looked at the link that said"Your friend doesn't have enough coins,click on it to give him a boost",and she couldn't say anything at all.

[Sis:(Please.jpg)(Cat.jpg)]]

[Fayea:Clicked it.]

After Selene received the three thousand game coins from the system,she killed her way back into the battlefield again.

This time she was more cautious,and at least let the three thousand game coins last for half an hour before disappearing.

The orange cat sighed in front of the tablet.

Why was this happening?It was definitely because the player she had just been matched with was too powerful!

She'd have to win one before she got offline.

Selene tapped towards the friend boost button again.

But who should...Send it to now?

Selene looked at her WeChat's friend list and locked in the target person.

Rowan was still sitting in front of his computer.His drawing was a few days away from the deadline and he was now working on refining it.

"Meow~"

A sudden message beep made him look up.

Selene had messaged him again.

Realizing this,Rowan immediately put down his pen,picked up his phone and started checking the message.

[Selene:In?Please help me boost it!(cat.jpg)]

Boost?

Rowan looked up a bit more before he found the link to the play money boost.

[Clicked,are you playing the game now?]

[Selene:Yes,too bored at night,just playing to pass the time]

[Selene:It's a shame the game currency runs out so fast!It runs out in two games(tears.jpg)][Selene:It's a pity that the coins run out so fast!

Rowan turned his computer chair around with his cell phone in his hand and looked out the glass window.

The sky outside was pitch black,but fortunately there was a faint starlight as an accent,so it didn't look so dull and boring.

Cats are nocturnal animals.They are more energetic at night,and only go to rest during the day,but humans are the opposite,working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

The sudden change in time would indeed make them feel very uncomfortable.

Thinking of this,Rowan typed another row of words.

[Little Rowan:This game allows you to create rooms to invite your friends to play with you,and friend rooms don't use in-game currency.]

Selene's eyes instantly lit up when she saw the message Rowan sent.

To tell you the truth,she had lost the three thousand coins she had just gotten in one hand and was about to turn off the game.

But Selene immediately sighed again.

It didn't help that she could create a friend room,and there was no one to play with her.

[Little Rowan:If you don't mind,I'll play with you.]

[Selene:But it takes three people to do that.]

[Little Rowan:It's okay,you can call Mason.]

[Selene:...I seem to remember that he plays gun games.Is he willing to play this kind of middle-aged game?]

[Rowan Jr:He'll do it,just give me a minute.]

Rowan walks out of the den and raises his hand to knock on the door to the secondary bedroom.

"Guys don't open it yet wait for me,my brother seems to be calling me for something."Mason put down his cell phone and climbed up from the bed,took his headphones half off and jumped out of bed barefoot,ran to the door in three steps and opened the bedroom door.

"Brother,what's the situation?"

Rowan looked at Mason,"Are you free right now?"

"Huh?I have it...What's up,what can I do for you?"Mason asked scratching his head in confusion.

"Go play a Landlord,we have two short of one on our side."

Mason only heard his brother say this,and after hearing it he always felt like he was hallucinating.

Mason's mouth was half-open,and he couldn't regain his senses for a long time,"What the hell?Fight the Landlord?!"

"Allow me to refuse,playing this kind of game,how ashamed I should be if my friends know."

Mason shook his head decisively.

Rowan:"Don't you really want the new weapon skins from Jedi Gunfight?I'll buy it for you."

"That one is a lottery skin,it won't come down without a few thousand dollars eh."

"Uh-huh."

"...Wow,such a big spender?"Mason blinked,"But didn't you just tell me before not to spend so much money in the game?"

Rowan was silent for a moment,"That's you,you're a minor,I'm an adult and I can still make my own money."

"Okay stop it,where do I get the game?"

-

Selene waited a bit before she received an invitation to join a room in the game from Rowan.

When she clicked in,she realized that the third person in the room was using Mason's same black and white anime WeChat avatar.

Unbelievable that a middle-aged teenager like Mason would be interested in landlord.

Sorry,it was her stereotype.

Selene tapped the ready button,and the match quickly began.

While waiting for the system to deal the cards,on the other hand.

"Brother,this is Selene-san,right?!"Mason incredulously pointed at that orange cat avatar on his cell phone screen,"I don't understand why you're playing Landlord with Sister Selene in the middle of the night,huh?"

"What's the problem?"

The teenager's eyes were filled with bewilderment and shock,"Aren't you two completely unfamiliar?!"

If he remembered correctly,the last time these two ran into each other at the door,they didn't even say a word,okay?

Rowan raised his eyes as if recalling something before stating with particular candor,"I don't think I ever said we weren't familiar."

Mason:...???
