Your Life And Death Is No Longer Your Choice (2)

She really had to say that Mister Numbers' mouth was venomous...

—"...what happens when you offend your great mother…" Wasn't this as good as calling her those two male players' mother?

She wasn't interested in having those two as her sons, but if she could get back at them through that, she could still grudgingly accept it...

As she thought of this, Shi Yao's lips curled upwards uncontrollably. At that instant, the phone in her hands suddenly vibrated, jolting her out of her daze. In that moment, she nearly dropped her phone.

Regaining her senses, Shi Yao tapped into WeChat and saw the message [111111] sent: [Quit the game.]

Shi Yao replied with an [Oh] before adding on an [Alright]. She then tabbed back into the game and returned to the main menu.

She noted that [111111] wasn't starting a new round, so she returned to WeChat and sent: [I'm already back at the main menu.]

[111111] didn't reply to her, so she switched back to the phone. There, she noticed that [111111] hadn't started the game yet too, so she switched back to WeChat and sent: [Are you not playing anymore?]

Shi Yao thought that Mister Numbers probably wouldn't bother replying to her, so she was contemplating whether she should send a message saying that she would play alone when a notification popped up on her screen.

[111111]: [Wait for those two guys.]

Shi Yao knew that he was referring to Juice and Expert, so she casually selected an 'OK' emoji and sent it over.

[111111] was still as aloof as ever, ignoring her message.

Shi Yao casually grabbed a packet of li hing mui1 from the table, tore it open, and popped one into her mouth.

While she ate, she pondered over what happened, and eventually, she decided to send a message to [111111]: [Thank you for earlier.]

Perhaps Mister Numbers was really bored—he replied really quickly: [There's no need to thank me, I just couldn't stand their rude attitudes. It had nothing to do with you.]

In other words, he would have done this even if it were someone else?

Well, it was true that a normal person would reach out to help others under such circumstances... just that, was there a need to be so cold? How was she supposed to respond to that?

Shi Yao stuffed three li hing mui into her mouth before typing: [Even so, I still think that I should thank you.]

Shi Yao added an adorable emoji before adding: [By the way, your car-driving technique sure is incredible. Even though those two kept trying to dodge, you still managed to crash into them accurately."]

...

Incredible?

Young lady, are you sure you're complimenting me?

Don't you know that's a basic control?

Lin Jiage was speechless for a while before he began moving his fingertips: [Indeed. For a low-spec gamer like yourself, it can be considered incredible.]

After sending the message, Lin Jiage, having sat for too long playing the game, stood up and massaged his neck.

A few moments after he started massaging, he abruptly stopped.

Had Big White Chubby not thanked him in the game, he wouldn't have noticed that he'd helped her out.

It was true that he would still offer his help if he saw another person being bullied in the game like that. He had always scorned those who exploited the internet's veil of anonymity to hurt others with their words.

However, it did seem like he had gone overboard helping her tonight... This was really similar to last week when he couldn't control himself and kissed Soft Bun in Golden Resplendence after seeing that distressed look on her face.

This sure was bizarre. Big White Chubby and Soft Bun were two different people, but why were they both able to trigger the same urge within him to protect them, something that even he found unbelievable?

PS: Lin Jiage, I know, but I won't tell you! I can only tell you that for all your haughtiness, you won't be escaping from my Yaoyao's Five Finger Mountain, be it in the game or outside the game!

PPS: I would also like to explain. The ML is not being a playboy here. It's only because they are both the same person that he's acting in such a manner. After all, it can't be that I noticed you in real life but feel nothing for you at all in the game—this doesn't make sense. I am an author who only creates good men under my pen! Wait till he finds out that Yao Loves Ice Cream is Shi Yao, that's when he realizes that all along, the only person he loves is her.
