Chapter 51

"Because I am very happy when I am with him. I can't control my heartbeat when I think about seeing each other in the game. When I can't sleep, he will patiently coax me to sleep, care about me, and take care of me. I think - this is love."

Xi Cheng’s understanding of love is very pure—it’s to make himself happy.

Xi Ying could accept this reason, but Xi Cheng's connection with paranoia began with money, which also destined that the starting points of both parties were different.

"There's money involved between you. Maybe he's just doing these things to please you."

She didn't want her brother's first love to fail because of money.

"It's okay, I don't mind." Xi Cheng didn't mind that the other party approached him for money, because he was not sure how long this relationship would last. As long as it lasted until the day when both of them were satisfied, it would be fine.

Xi Ying roughly understood what the other party meant. She sat down next to him, her eyes as sharp as arrows, "So you were the one who confessed to him first?"

"Yes." Xi Cheng nodded.

As soon as he realized that he might like the other person, he quietly changed his game ID to "Favorite", and couldn't wait to see the other person's reaction after seeing this ID.

A few days later, Xi Cheng logged into his game account and found that this account had several more crushing games.

——Pian Juan had already logged into his account, and the other party didn’t say anything when he saw the game ID.

The initial attempt was not rejected, which made Xi Cheng bolder.

When he was duo-queuing with the opponent, he started to attack from the side, wondering if he had a favorite girl.

Paranoia answered decisively: "Yes."

"Really? Then can you type that person's name in the chat area?" Pian Ai pursed his lips, and the temperature around him suddenly dropped to freezing point.

He had logged into the other party’s game account before, and out of curiosity, he secretly checked all the friend relationships in it. He made sure that the other party did not have a partner before he dared to test it. As a result, now the other party tells him that he has a girl he likes?

Are you lying to him?

He followed his instructions and sent a girl's name in the chat area: Xu Fengjuan.

Xi Cheng had never been so upset before. His words lacked logic and were even filled with resentment: "You love her, but she may not love you."

In today's world, no couple can love each other wholeheartedly.

Damn it, someone else got there first!

Unexpectedly, the paranoid man answered confidently: "She must love me."

Xi Cheng was very angry at the other party's unhesitating reaction.

Did his first love end before it even began? He was unwilling to accept it. He really was unwilling to accept it!

Before Xi Cheng could even turn his face away, he heard Pianfan add.

"Because she's my mother."

This is his greatest confidence - he may be a social outcast, but in his mother's heart he will always be her little pride.

After hearing this, Xi Cheng's arrogance subsided and he suddenly became a little embarrassed. It turned out that Xu Fengjuan was the name of his paranoid mother. No wonder it sounded so old-fashioned.

What question did he ask just now - "Do you have a favorite girl?"

Mom is also everyone’s favorite girl!

Xi Cheng seriously reflected on himself, how could he be jealous of the importance of his paranoid mother in his heart.

"So you don't have a girlfriend yet?" Xi Cheng turned around and grasped this key issue, and described it in more straightforward language.

"No," paranoid denial.

"What a pity..." Xi Cheng said it was a pity, but a smile was already on his face.

——He still has a chance!

After this incident, Xi Cheng confirmed his paranoid state of being single, and his thoughts became more and more firm.

One day not long after, he confessed his feelings to the other party, and the other party agreed readily.

"...That's it in general." Xi Cheng briefly recounted everything that had happened while Xi Ying was away from the country.

The two talked for too long, and the endless waiting made the other protagonist in the game room confused. He didn't know what happened to Xi Cheng, why he suddenly turned off the microphone and didn't even reply to the text he sent in the chat area.

"Did something happen?" Paranoid and visibly uneasy, he first sent a message to Xi Cheng on WeChat, waited for a while, and received no reply from the other party, so he called him immediately.

The camera cuts back to Xi Cheng and Xi Ying. The sudden ringing of a cell phone echoes throughout the empty living room, lingering in their ears.

Xi Ying saw the name jumping on Xi Cheng's phone screen and knew that it was her brother's boyfriend who came to look for someone. "You should answer his call first."

She said and stood up to leave.

Half an hour later, Xi Ying finished packing her luggage and went downstairs to find Xi Cheng still sitting in the same seat, chatting on the phone with his boyfriend.

Not wanting to be a light bulb for others, she immediately turned around and went into the kitchen, intending to make something to fill her stomach. As for the dog abuser...

There is no need to worry about him. This guy will probably be immersed in the honey pot of love for a while and will not want to come out. He will not feel hungry at all.

"Baby, have you eaten yet? Do you need me to order some takeout for you? I recently discovered a really delicious restaurant nearby."

Xi Cheng's voice came from far away and finally stopped behind Xi Ying. While talking on the phone, he opened the refrigerator and started choosing dinner for tonight.

Xi Ying: …

"Are you sure you don't want it? I just want you to eat something good." Xi Cheng's voice floated in the kitchen.

Single dog Xi Ying couldn't stay in the space filled with pink bubbles for even a second, and consciously took his things and left the kitchen.

After dinner, Xi Ying lazily leaned back in the rocking chair in the back garden. There was silence all around her, with only the chirping of crickets echoing in her ears.

"I shouldn't run into anyone calling here, right?"

The cradle swayed slowly, and time seemed to stand still. Before they knew it, the person sitting on it gradually became sleepy.

"Baby, you need to exercise more and go outside to bask in the sun during the day to enhance your immunity..."

——The familiar voice comes again!

Xi Ying opened her eyes suddenly and realized that she could no longer stay in this house.

Half an hour later, the two sticky people finally hung up the phone, and Xi Cheng put away his phone and returned to the house.

Xi Ying, who was forced to eavesdrop, waited until the two ended their conversation, then immediately took out his cell phone to find the contact information of Panic, and called him directly.

The call was answered in seconds, and a paranoid voice came from the other end of the phone, "Sister, are you looking for me?"

Xi Ying smiled. Before, the other party always called her sponsor, but now she just called her sister - their relationship was doubled.

"Yi Xiaolan, since you are not hiding anything, I will ask you straight out of the box." Xi Ying called the other party because he did have some questions to ask him.

Yi Xiaolan on the other end of the phone had expected today's situation since he had been with Xi Cheng, and replied calmly: "Well, ask."

"What do you like about my brother?" Xi Ying only cared about this question.

Yi Xiaolan answered seriously: "Xi Cheng is a very good person. When I caught a cold, he not only bought medicine for me, but also cared about my health. He would also ask me to take a walk with him every day. There happened to be a park near my home, so I walked there while talking on the phone with him."

Looking back, I am filled with the peaceful and quiet years.

Until one day, Yi Xiaolan suddenly felt that this kind of life was what he wanted - he didn't ask for much, just to have someone accompany him until old age, that would be good enough.

After hearing the other party's answer, Xi Ying didn't know how to comment for a moment.

These two people are truly a pure and innocent couple - one confesses his love because he is happy to be with the other, and the other agrees to be together because the companionship and care given by the other makes him dependent on her.

Xi Ying immediately rubbed her brows. She didn't want to stop the two from being together, as long as the two could break up gracefully in the future.

The memories came to an abrupt end, and Pian Ai finally finished telling the story of himself and paranoia.

He concluded: "The person who can make me happy and protect me is the one I want in my partner."

"I see." Qiao Ruiyi listened to the love story of preference and paranoia from the perspective of an observer, and couldn't help feeling envious.

When will his other half appear in his life?

"As someone who has been through this, I give you a heartfelt advice: Don't let the person who is right for you slip away from you. As many songs say - you don't dare to open your heart and confess your feelings, and in the end you miss the other person, and all you have left is nostalgia."

I prefer to think that I have seized the opportunity given by God, so the rain of love can fall from the sky. After all, meeting is fate.

Qiao Ruiyi listened thoughtfully.

Pian Ai suddenly felt that he was qualified to be a love mentor. Maybe he could try listing himself in an emotional agency?

"Do you have any other questions you want to ask?" He can show them generously.

Qiao Ruiyi didn't have anything special to know, so he asked casually, "Is your name really Xi Cheng? I just heard a while ago that a popular male singer is also named Xi Cheng."

Pian Ai was slow for a second, then denied it: "I'm not that person, I just happen to have the same name. After all, the name Xi Cheng is so common, just like those Zhang San and Li Si."

Qiao Ruiyi thought about it and it made sense. After all, even a famous star wouldn't be as humble as the other party, and would certainly not fall in love with a boy online.

Xi Cheng glanced at the time and realized that half an hour had passed without him noticing.

"We've been chatting for so long, I should go now. We can play together again next time we have a chance."

"Okay." Qiao Rui said goodbye to the other party.

After Xi Cheng left, Qiao Ruiyi stayed alone in the game room with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He gained a lot of insights from Xi Cheng's words, but his swaying thoughts were like an elusive kite string. The more you try to catch it, the more it disappears from your sight.

The next second, "Ding——"

A notification suddenly lit up above Qiao Ruiyi's phone screen.

Player [Jiejie is not my sister] hopes you will invite him to join the game room.

This ID is not unfamiliar to Qiao Ruiyi. It is the WeChat ID of his roommate and good friend "He Lijie".

Unexpectedly, the other party’s game ID is also called this.

Qiao Ruiyi suddenly remembered the other party's promise to help him improve his scores.

He glanced at his own rank, then looked at He Lijie who had just reached the King level. His first reaction was that he was going to be criticized.

Qiao Ruiyi wanted to find an excuse for himself, but after a brief thought, he gave up struggling. The next second, there was one more person in the game room.

"Qiao Ruiyi! What's going on with your rank?! Tell me the truth!"

He Lijie's voice was like a shock wave that burst directly out of the phone.
