It Ain't Gay If It's With The Homies

He chuckled sexily and whispered to the mic, "Because you're my baby."

Yu Xuejiao covered her mouth and quickly sent a private message to Blood Jade.

[I keep telling myself that they're straight, and they're real people, so I shouldn't ship them, but it's not easy.]

Blood Jade quickly replied.

[You can never be too sure...]

[Isn't there a saying… it ain't gay if it's with the homies?]

Having read that, Yu Xuejiao violently coughed.

Aside from the four—Chestnut, Blood Jade, Blue Sword, and Three Days, no one else talked and merely watched from the sidelines.

With just the four of them doing most of the talking, everything was already entertaining.

"Why don't we use Chestnut to the max? This is his last day. Let's kill a field boss!" A bold player shouted.

But everyone agreed.

"Let's go!"

Yu Xuejiao started to calculate. Her new job was saintly—office hours started at 9 AM. It takes her an hour to bath. Thirty minutes for skincare. Say… thirty minutes for choosing clothes, and another thirty minutes for leeway? Well, thirty minutes for travel too. Adding all that up, she must wake up by 6 am.

She only needed six hours of sleep, so she just had to be asleep by 12. It would take her an hour to fall asleep, so she must be done playing by 11.

The next field boss appears at around 8:30 pm. Yeah. There was enough time.

"Alright!" Yu Xuejiao shouted.

"Eyyyy!" was the players' reply.

Blue Sword took the lead in deciding what to do.

"First of all, let's be divided into two batches. Chestnut can't carry us all at once. One for Boss 8:30, another for Boss 10:30. Are we clear?"

Two batches? Yu Xuejiao glared at her screen. She was really decided on sleeping early today. Nothing can change her mind.

"Just one batch, ah! I have to stop playing by 11. Tomorrow's my first day. I can't be late!"

Blue Sword was about to tease her again. "Momm—"

Not wanting to hear the rest, Yu Xuejiao did what must be done—call for backup, "Three Daaays~"

He understood the assignment.

"Stop being bitter, son," he said, referring to Blue Sword.

"Baby, you can keep on trying, but the one topping between the two of us is me."

"Shut up. I'm as straight as a meter stick. I will break, but I will never bend!" Three Days shouted.

A mischievous glint appeared in Yu Xuejiao's eyes, and she immediately sent a message to Blood Jade.

[Ara ara~]

[Huh?]

Blood Jade was confused by Yu Xuejiao's reaction, but soon enough, she understood why. Her eyes widened as her mouth formed an open smile.

Blue Sword chuckled. "I understand."

"So I'll just have to break you, hm?"

The two fujoshis squealed like dying pigs.

Yu Xuejiao sent Blood Jade a private message.

[The design is very BDSM.]

Blood Jade replied almost immediately.

[Shush. Don't taint my purity.]

[Lol. Purity my ass.]

[Hey. I am pure.]

[Your rice purity score is 57.]

[As if yours is high.]

[It's 94.]

[That just means you're single and boring.]

Yu Xuejiao couldn't retort.

Three Days couldn't counter Blue Sword either.

It seemed like Blue Sword knew that Three Days must've been too flustered to clap back, so he took the initiative to clear the air.

"Alright, next topic."

Yu Xuejiao smiled when she heard that. Those two were really cute.

One of the players casually brought up, "Is Chestnut still chasing that—what's the name of that weak DPS again?"

"Protective Spear," answered Jade. She knew it best—that was her ex after all.

"The last time I chased him was two days ago. He managed to escape because my older brother called me." Yu Xuejiao sighed. "I used an Attack Speed potion too."

"..." What a f*cking spendthrift.

"Using Mommy and Daddy's money." Blue Sword was bitter.

Yu Xuejiao only rolled her eyes.

"I realized that he has a certain type. He likes girls stronger than him. Last time I chased him, he was with a girl, and she was not easy to beat. And she's a healer too. Now, I kind of feel guilty. She did nothing wrong."

"Ooh~ Now I want to hear that!" Moon Lamp finally popped up. When it came to gossip, she'd never be missing.

"Too bad, that's where my gossip ends."

"..." Moon Lamp really wanted to smack Chestnut.

"I really don't have time to kill another field boss with you guys. Let's just talk," Yu Xuejiao said.

Someone from their party randomly brought up a topic. "Last month, didn't Winter's End also pass her account to a handler? Apparently, she's also busy."

Three Days was curious. "That username rings a bell."

Another player replied, "You know, it's that really good player. Rich and mysterious, kind of like Chestnut, except she's reserved."

[Party] Chestnut: How am I not reserved?

Yu Xuejiao furiously typed that, but the other players merely ignored it. Voices always won over texts.

"Ah! The crossplayer?"

Hearing an interesting term, Yu Xuejiao's attention was instantly attracted.

[Party] Chestnut: How did you know that she's a crossplayer?

This time, someone finally acknowledged her message.

The same player excitedly answered, "I know the answer to that one! Before this game, she played other popular MMO. She even got married in two of them. Also, according to the people who have seen her face, she's pretty!"

[Party] Chestnut: Do you have a copy of her face reveal?

It wasn't that Yu Xuejiao was interested in seeing the faces behind the players' screen, but... All face reveals were interesting.

Yeah, she was indeed interested.

Crossplayer, huh?

A 'great idea' popped inside Yu Xuejiao's mind. "I can't crossdress in real life…" Because it was stupid.

"But I can still do a disguise whatsoever, right?" She even happily giggled.

It gradually turned into a witch's laugh.

"Haha, this is my childhood dream! Disguise and then transform later."

As if she suddenly remembered something bad, Yu Xuejiao's expression turned solemn.

"Sh*t, I was dressed properly during the interview."

Her worry quickly went away though.

"Haha, they've only seen me once. A change of style should not matter!"

Besides, it wasn't like companies would consider a candidate's fashion before hiring them. Well, Yu Xuejiao had no idea.

Technically, for the personal assistant's role, they should care, but YOLO!

[Party] Chestnut: I'm done for today.

Right after sending that, she logged out and popped a sleeping pill into her mouth.

She returned to her computer and started researching about fashion dos and don'ts just so she could do the opposite of dos and follow the don'ts.

There were things she had already known, but she wasn't too sure about them, so it was still better to double check.

When Yu Xuejiao was done, she was about to faint from sleepiness. She dragged herself into her bed and sunk into it.

"Come to think of it, I don't know my possible future boss' face," she sleepily muttered to herself.

She yawningly placed her phone near her face.

"Lili… search Xiao Chunsheng Nexiv."

A handsome face, which was completely Yu Xuejiao's type, appeared on the screen.

With blurry, squinted eyes, she looked at her phone and faintly nodded. "This is a pretty good employee benefit."

Her eyes were blurry, but he really was handsome.

Not long after that, she shut down.
