Chapter 25: Blitzkrieg War

With a "Mmm" sound, Wei Wei lowers her gaze to examine her hair that has fallen across his wrist. In fact, she paid no attention to anything he said. She could only hazily sense that silence had returned to their surroundings.

Er Xi awakens from her stupor only after the third quarter is over and exclaims, "How come our team is only winning by two points!

Wei Wei realizes that she still needs to introduce Xiao Nai to her housemates after hearing her voice. However, Xiao Nai had already been watching the game nonstop, so it wasn't practical to introduce them. He's still keeping an eye on the action on the court right now. Wei Wei desires to attempt to reach out to him, but is thwarted by the way they address him.

It's strange to call him a senior male classmate.

addressing him as NaiSince they aren't in the online game, he is much more bizarre.

Xiao Nai—that name looks a little awkward.Why is it that the Great Master can so easily refer to her as Wei Wei? >o<

Thankfully, Xiao Nai removes his vision from the courts fairly quickly, sparing Wei Wei from the agony of contemplation. Wei Wei immediately responds, "That, they are my roommates," which causes Xiao Nai to turn to face the three people seated next to her, whose speech has recently returned. First, she introduces each of them individually: "Xiao Ling, Er Xi, Si Si."

After glancing over them, Xiao Nai grinned a little and said, "Hello."

As a consequence,

The three, who had just returned to consciousness, are startled once more.

Wei Wei straightens her expression.

As it turns out, comparing people is necessary to determine who is the best. Her own behavior is definitely too wonderful in comparison to theirs.

As per Xiao Nai's previous statement, the score is once again dissected once the fourth quarter gets underway. The department of computer science is almost certain to win. Xiao Nai abruptly remarks, "YuGong and MonkeyWine are down there; do you want to go say hi?" as the game's finish draws close.

Startled, Wei Wei inquires, "Is it number 10 and 11?"

It is those two who had approached Xiao Nai that she is referring to; he entered earlier.

Xiao Nai gives a nod.

"MoZhaHim, what about you?"

"He failed to show up."

Wei Wei muses, "Do they know that I am Reed Wei Wei?"

"No."

How did you find out?

Wei-Wei gives him a glance. Though her sense of shock is gradually fading, her uncertainties are growing more intense. But with so many people gathered around, now is obviously not the moment to inquire.

Wei Wei says, "I'll go," without hesitation any more.

The game is over when the whistle blows. With an eighteen-point advantage over the architecture department, the computer science department is dominant. Wei Wei goes down the stands with Xiao Nai after telling her roommates she'll be returning soon.

Si Si was behind them, looking at the goodies she's holding, confused in thought.

"Is it possible that Xiao Nai purchased every meal we consume?"

"This world has become a mysterious fantasy, Er Xi," says Xiao Ling as she pats Er Xi's hand after she has calmed down from her fright.

Er Xi says nothing at all. After a considerable amount of time, she glances behind the two as they approach the court and says, "It is obvious that our Wei Wei gets along well with Xiao Nai." Who asserts that they are incompatible? It is obvious that the members of the school forum are blind.

Wei Wei and Xiao Nai undoubtedly make their way down the bleachers while glancing at each other.

YuGong and MonkeyWine were waiting impatiently at the entrance to the stands when they arrived.

"Hey, third brother, at last you..."

Xiao Nai receives a shoulder pat from a tall, square-faced male student who seems sorrowful and unable to speak. The second male student, who is somewhat taller and has a more angular face, remarks, "The ten thousand-year-old bachelor is finally settling down," while displaying a similar attitude.

The phrase "ten thousand-year bachelor" causes Wei Wei to suddenly recall her first encounter with them in the game. She instantly gets quite comfortable with the two strangers standing in front of her.

Ignoring their derision, Xiao Nai presents Wei Wei, saying, "Yu Ban Shan is number ten, and Qiu Yong Hou is the other." (Hou is the Chinese word for monkey.)

In the online game, he makes no reference to their individual identities since it is already implied by the two's names. After that, he is ready to present Wei Wei to him when Wei Wei genuinely walks forward and says, "Hello, senior classmates, I'm Wei Wei," in a polite manner in front of him.

YuGong, a fellow student Yu Ban Shan looks at her for a little while indifferently before laughing and says, "Hello, hello," to himself, but of course I know that you are Bei Wei Wei, the beauty of our department. I never imagined that you and your third brother would truly become friends. Finding a computer science beauty should come naturally to the most amazing person in the department, but why is it that way when these two are together? seems to be such a heart-wrenching blow to the eyes. (Please disregard YuGong's degree of proverbial use.)

Furthermore, why is this stunning person acting so at ease with them? Even though it's only their first meeting, she immediately insists on being called Wei Wei.

MonkeyWine laughs as well, essentially thinking the same thing YuGong is.

Wei Wei can tell from their facial expressions that they were unable to piece everything together. Thus, she adds, while feigning embarrassment, "That, YuGong,

MonkeyWine Well, my name is ReedWeiWei.

As soon as they hear "YuGong," MonkeyWine and the other person start to become a little upset. As soon as "ReedWeiWei" is released, MonkeyWine displays a look of shock, standing there silently and gaping at the mouth. Furthermore, YuGong appears to be performing in a scene from a classic movie when the basketball falls out of his hands.

Anyways.

Wei Wei is feeling quite content today for the second time.

She thinks she has a better understanding of the Great Master now; it's very amazing to watch people get completely awestruck, she says.

Unfortunately, Wei Wei's happiness is short-lived. All of Xiao Nai's teammates came together in an instant. Wei Wei's dream of making online acquaintances has quickly materialized into really getting to know his friends and family.

Wei Wei, a classmate, instantly applies her go-to tactic: flee if you can't defeat them. She says, "My classmates are waiting," as she turns to face her housemates, who are standing in line at the door for me. I have to go now.

After stating this, she is going to run away, but this time Xiao Nai stops her. His fingers slide around her wrist.

"When do you typically study on your own?"

"...7:30."

Her own wrist, which has been securely gripped, has taken up all of her attention.

With a smile, Xiao Nai said, "Got it; I'll wait at the bottom of the dormitory," before gently releasing her wrist. Remember to assist me in saving a seat, Wei Wei.

With victory, Wei Wei leaves the basketball gym. She is silent and doesn't say anything as she makes her way back, since some of the things from today haven't quite left her thoughts. Following a short stroll, she abruptly becomes aware that something doesn't feel quite right. Why aren't Er Xi and the others speaking either?

She turns to face Er Xi and the others, who have peculiar expressions on their faces and are also reserved. Wei-Wei wakes up right away. This isn't acceptable!

It will erupt with greater ferocity the longer they suppress it. She should have requested to be questioned more swiftly and freely.

"Ask what you guys want to ask," Wei Wei replies with a sigh.

Er Xi darts up and gives her a violent shaking as soon as she says, "You have been dating Xiao Nai for this long and actually didn't tell us!!"

Er Xi's trembling causes Wei Wei to stammer and say, "...wrongly accused...this..."I also recently learned about it.

Er Xi screams, "Are you treating us like fools? Who would have thought that after the way you two were today, you hadn't been in a relationship for at least six months?

Wei-Wei is sobbing. Six months? It was closer than thirty minutes! With every ounce of strength, she fights free from her hold and speaks the entire word in a single breath.

"I would like to have uninterrupted statement time for ten minutes!"

"Quickly confess everything!" Er Xi, Si Si, and Xiao Ling wave their hands benevolently while glancing at one another.

"So, how far have you guys gone?" asks Xiao Ling. Have you had a kiss yet? If so, when was it?

"....."

Wei Wei looks away from her, clears her throat, and continues, "This is how it occurred. One day in a few months, I took a little break to use the restroom when the day was clear and brilliant with no clouds, the moon shining brightly, and the stars scarce.

"Go to the main point!" said all three of them at once.

Okay, so the big point is just after she exits the restroom. They are genuinely impatient. She still needs to add a few unnecessary items, though, in order to organize her ideas. As a matter of fact, she's still confused.

How, she thinks, can she put it in such a way that their anger turns to sympathy?

Wei Wei begins to remember and narrate. She is an ordinary engineering student with mediocre writing skills. The version of her and Xiao Nai's narrative that she narrates turns into their meeting in the game, marriage, and then having a face-to-face encounter at last. She omitted certain information, not because she was trying to hide anything, but rather because it was difficult for her to discuss some topics; for instance, how Xiao Nai was able to identify the actual her. Furthermore, she is too ashamed to mention what Xiao Nai stated to her.

However, Er Xi and the others are already rather happy with this condensed version of the events.

"So you've only met each other for two hours?" Er Xi asks after closely probing for further information.

Wei Wei nods in silence, realizing that she has been falsely accused.

Yes, sir "So, you've only had one meeting with Xiao Nai and he's settled you?"

Wei Wei glances at in silence the stars. How eager she is to respond No, but there is no disputing facts; they are what they are.

"Looks like it." Wei Wei replies, unsure of herself, "If there's another time, I will definitely drag it out until the next day," after noticing her roommates' contempt.

"Give it up, there's no next time," Si Si says, casting a pitying glance at her.

"She fell in love online," I remarked. With her incredible insight, Xiao Ling says, "But the recipient is unexpectedly Xiao Nai."

She is still unable to accept it even today when she considers it.

"That's right, Wei Wei, what video are you talking about?" Si Si recalls. You have never presented it to us.

"When we get back, I'll show you." Blurts from Wei Wei out a response, but then she stops and looks stunned as if she had remembered something.

Video, video, video

In fact, she forgot all about the video things!

Wei Wei is stunned.

Wei Wei is struck dumb on this point by her own recollection. Er Xi, on the other hand, summarizes it with a tone of admiration: "Great Master Xiao Nai is just too amazing." Even following someone turns into an illustrious "blitzkrieg conflict."
