Part 24: Basketball farewell game

For Wei Wei to say such a thing is merely just her being unable to suppress the mischievousness with her rising mood. But she didn’t expect that they would believe her. Who knew that Er Xi will say something like this — severely stupefying her for a bit.

“Publicly known? What do you mean?”

Er Xi says, “There was some popular gossip thread on the school’s forums that matched up the well-known singles in the school. You and Xiao Nai are publicly known to be the most incompatible.”

Wei Wei is a bit blown back by it and angrily says, “There’s even this kind of thread. The people in our school are really dull.”

No one replies to what she says and thus, this topic stops. After quite awhile, as Er Xi and Xiao Ling are already chatting about another topic, Wei Wei pulls the conversation towards her again, “How are we incompatible?”

Er Xi thinks that Wei Wei is a bit strange today. Why is she so attached to this question? But she doesn’t think more about it and says, straightforwardly, “Someone on the forum said something like this, something looks, something profession. Ah, let me think about how they said it — it was quite good.”

Recalling it, she says, “Seems like it went like this, one is simple and elegant like an ink painting, the other is rich in color like an oil painting. One is an immortal from the heavens, the other is an expensive and precious flower on earth…Hey, what is with that expression of yours!”

Er Xi, who had been getting excited as she spoke, becomes angry.

Expressionlessly, Wei Wei says, “I’m getting goosebumps. Also, I’m not oily at all.” Read more

Part 23: Impossible to be a Couple

The setting sun shines on him, giving him a surreal glow.  Wei Wei is mesmerized just from looking at his dark eyebrows.  After a long while, complicated feelings start to surge in her heart; a feeling of her heart stopping, and a feeling of inconsolable grief and indignation.

When, when have they been in that kind of a relationship?!  Although she really wants to be in a relationship with him, this is definitely not the way to start……

But then again, this was her initial motive to meet the Great Master.  It’s just that now that the Great Master has spoken in the leveled-up version, wouldn’t she be at a disadvantage for rejecting him?

Actually, she’ll be in a disadvantage whether she rejects him or accepts him.  What is going on?…..

Wei Wei is becoming more and more confused with her logic.  Seeing how her thought process is stuck in a loop, Wei Wei quickly shouts to herself——

Stop!

Part 22: It’s him

The exam has already ended and the number of people by the school gates gradually increases. Pretty much everyone who walks past these two remarkably good-looking man and woman will subconsciously slow down and take a few looks. However, Wei Wei doesn’t notice any of these glances, because the second Xiao Nai spoke, she had already crossed into outer space.

 

I was waiting for you…

I was waiting for you…

I was waiting for you…

……

This voice…

This voice…

This voice…

 

Wei Wei looks at the person in front her, confused. In his eyes is the reflection of the sunset making it all seem a bit surreal and gentle. His tranquil posture and patience…

Wei Wei moves her lips, but no sound comes out. She takes a deep breath, controls the chaos inside of her, and in complete disbelief, she says, “…NaiHe?”

The person in front of her gazes at her and indisputably answers, “It’s me.”

Part 21: I Was Waiting For You

Xiao Ling believes that life is full of surprises.

For example, on the night before the level 6 exam (College English Test), Wei Wei has actually dragged her out to go shopping.

Alright, although Wei Wei says this is to let herself relax from all the studying before the exam, there’s still no need to get all excited and rush to the clothing stores near the school……

 

Er Xi and Si Si are also amazed by this.

They head back to the dorm room after dinner just to find out that both Xiao Ling and Wei Wei are not there.  Their books are still on the table, so they clearly haven’t gone to self-study.  Er Xi decides to send Xiao Ling a text message out of curiosity.

Xiao Ling quickly replies—–accompanying Wei Wei to buy clothes.

Er Xi is flabbergasted.  She asks which store they’re at and pulls Si Si with her to go see.  Once they arrive and push open the door, Wei Wei just happens to be walking out of the fitting room.

Er Xi and Si Si are frozen at the entrance.

Part 20: I Know

For all 20 years of Wei Wei’s life, it’s the first time she realizes that she is an alien – –

An alien from the turtle planet to add to it.

A turtian is someone who ducks and turns away when they are provoked; the bottom line is: another two days have passed, and she still hasn’t logged into the game!!!!!

……

……

She must have been overtaken by the “abashed” planet aliens = =

Sigh~~~

Based on the facts, she already understands her feelings, and what she should do next is to rush to the game and try all obvious and subtle methods to win over the Great Master’s heart.  After all, she and the Great Master are both not married yet, so there isn’t anything to worry about~~ (Wei Wei knows that the Great Master is single from a long time ago because for one, YuGong and the others tease him by calling him ten thousand years bachelor, and secondly, Wei Wei has asked him before marrying him last time.  She didn’t have any motives for asking him at the time; it was more for the sake of morality.  Even though it’s a game, she doesn’t want someone’s girlfriend or fiancee to have any issues with it.”

But she just won’t go online.  Instead, she’s doing weird things like replaying the Great Master’s dialogue in the video over and over again……

Wei Wei is also surprised by her own strange behaviour, but she’s rather carefree and quickly thinks of an excuse for herself—–It’s her first time falling in love, so it’s normal to act strange.  It’ll be stranger if she doesn’t.

>_<

Therefore, she continues to be weird.  She promises herself every morning that she will definitely go online, but she consoles herself at night saying that she will go online tomorrow……

After swaying back and forth for two days, she can’t stand it anymore and has finally made up her mind!

Saturday!

After finishing her level 6th exam on Saturday, she will go online immediately!

Part 19: Realization

Wei Wei isn’t worried since the Great Master has never come late, but it’s also normal for him to be a few minutes behind.  The clock continues ticking; 7:45pm comes before she knows it.  Wei Wei is starting to worry.  Although she knows that NaiHe is not online, she can’t help but to send him a message——

“Are you there?”

Naturally, she doesn’t get a response.

Two minutes later, she sends another one.  Wei Wei stops sending them after a while and refreshes NaiHe’s name continuously instead; the system reminds her repeatedly that the player is not online, so she cannot refresh his profile.

YuGong, MonkeyWine, and the others are also in grey.

Not online.

 

7:50pm.

Wei Wei shows up in front of the NPC at the entrance by herself.  The team setup symbol sits on top of her avatar, but she is the only one present in the team.

Part 18: The Finals

ButterflyDreams greets Wei Wei: “Wei Wei.”

Wei Wei: “ButterflyDreams, you’re also in the competition?”

ButterflyDreams: “Yeah, of course I have to take part in such a big competition.”

 

The two chat for a little.  Although Wei Wei and BattleTheWorld aren’t on good terms, she won’t let this get in the way of her friendship with ButterflyDreams; it looks like ButterflyDreams also feels the same way.

They are in a competition nonetheless, so they don’t chat for long; the battle begins after the 3-minute wait.

ButterflyDreams isn’t an expert in PK battles, so she isn’t on the leaderboard.  Her skill used to be above Wei Wei’s, but since she hasn’t been playing for a while, Wei Wei has caught to her with all her equipment upgrades.  Therefore, their skill level is on par.

As a result, ASmileNaiHe and BattleTheWorld are the deciding factor on which side will win.

The winning couple of this round cannot be more obvious.

After the PK battle, ButterflyDreams sends a private message: “Wei Wei, let’s find a place to talk.”

Wei Wei sends a nodding head smiley.

Part 17: For My Wife to Play With

When people say that enemies often cross each other’s paths, this is probably what it’s like.

Wei Wei looks at those across from her; she can’t help but feel speechless about her and NaiHe’s opponents in their first battle of the points accumulation round.

 

The couples PK competition finally begins on Friday after much wait.  The first round is points accumulation competitions; it will take half a month and there are no audiences to watch the games.  The opponents are randomly picked by the system; the participating couple just needs to click on the NPC and they will be taken to a battling field.  They won’t know who their opponents are until they get there.

YuGong and the others send Wei Wei and NaiHe off as they click on the NPC to enter the field.  The moment they enter it, Wei Wei is dumbfound —-their opponents, standing on the other side of the field, are actually RealWaterIsScentless and LittleRainYaoYao (LittleRainEnchantress).

>o<

 

Participating players don’t begin their PK battles right away; the system sets up a 3-minute preparation time before the battle.  NaiHe glances at their opponents and says casually: “I’ll take care of LittleRainYaoYao.”
