The fragility of the heart

Chi Nuo returned to her room, closed the door, and carefully picked up her phone to begin editing an explanation message: "I can't help you with the task today. I've made plans with a friend to run the new reward dungeon."

A voice reply popped up the instant the message was sent.

Chi Nuo clicked on it and heard that the tone of voice inside was not very good.

"I asked you before if it was okay, and you said it was okay, so I gave you the number."

"Now you're saying you have something to do today, or that you're going to hang out with your friends. If you're going to go, you're leaving my account aside. What did you promise me in the first place?"

Hearing his angry question, Chi Nuo didn't understand: "You meant you needed some time to help me get a task, that's why I agreed to it."

"Didn't you say it would only be a few days?"

"How long has it been? It's been almost a month. When I had to take an exam, I told you, and you were so anxious. I was rushing to get it done for you, staying up all night to make sure it was on time."

Chi Nuo's explanation was not understood; instead, he was blamed even more severely.

"It's not like I forced you to agree. If you agreed, can't you do it? I've already told you that I hate people who promise something but can't keep it."

"But let me tell you, my pain, my family of origin, you only have eyes for me, do you feel sorry for me now that I've become a sharp blade in your hands?"

"Is this how you treat me?"

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more confusing the more she explained, Chi Nuo tried to calm him down based on his last sentence, afraid of upsetting him.

It upset him.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault."

She considered the time, and since she had nothing else to do, she figured she might as well stay up all night to do it. "Can I make it for you around midnight?"

"No need. Once unfaithful, never again."

The person on the other end sent a final message and then never replied again.

After receiving this message, Chi Nuo tried to send more messages and coax the other person, but received no response. She felt confused and worried at the same time.

I'm afraid he might do something extreme and harm himself.

Just then, the group chat started talking again.

Ji Shu: "We're almost ready, shall we play now?"

"I'm all set too, just waiting to see what Chi Nuo's plans are." Mo Wen said online, his male and female characters embracing each other tightly.

Ignoring him, Chi Nuo calmed herself down and said, "Coming, coming!"

They spent the rest of the time together, and that other person was completely forgotten; they didn't care what happened to them.

Wen Zhuyao, having seen her grayed-out screen for what felt like the umpteenth time, said dejectedly, "I don't want to play anymore. Let me change my outfit. This color doesn't suit me, is that okay?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's okay." Ji Shu was actually aroused by the excitement and desire to conquer. This event was a combination of mini-games, dungeons, and brain teasers.

At first, it's a team-based puzzle game, but later it gives you a beautifully illustrated storyline that ends before sending you into a dungeon.

I was hit many times, and it was impossible to defend against it.

After that, it turns into a cozy little theater, and then, unexpectedly, it sends you into a dungeon again.

"When will this ever end?" Chi Nuo regretted being curious about this activity. When she clicked in, it seemed like no one told her that it was a series of interconnected events.

Ji Shu continued to reassure them, determined not to let anyone fall behind: "Yu Zhou is already looking for strategies. He should be able to figure out the later parts, which will make things easier for us."

The initial joy had been worn away, and Chi Nuo's screen kept displaying "Changfeng is online, Changfeng is offline, Changfeng is online, Changfeng is offline."

She thought her game was lagging and wanted to redo it: "I'll adjust the graphics settings, but it seems a bit laggy when I change equipment."

Taking this opportunity, Mo Wen privately messaged Wen Zhuyao, asking, "Are you alright? If not, let's switch, I'll call your number."

"Sure, no problem," Wen Zhuyao replied with concern, not forgetting to tease him a bit, "Are you sure you can handle it?"

Mo asked, "Of course."

"That's good."

Seeing that the replies were getting stranger and stranger, Mo Wen immediately went over to engage the monster and brought the pace of the dungeon into play.

This was followed by Chi Nuo's wailing.

"I'm not ready yet, this is too much!" Chi Nuo, who had only changed half of her outfit, was mercilessly pushed into a snowdrift by the boss.

Listen to the unique background music she has.

Meanwhile, people in other wars are playing rhythm games, which are very rhythmic.

Chi Nuo typed on the public chat: "Please care for the youngest member of the team, and don't discourage the slowest member as quickly as possible."

"Alright, alright, we can't beat them either, we'll stay with you." Without another word, Ji Shu prepared to take off her clothes and become a snowball next to her.

Immediately after Renren Chinuo, four more snowballs appeared beside him.

Chi Nuo was delighted. "They really are my older brothers and sisters. They'll stay with me whenever I say it. They're so loyal."

Changfeng, who had been trying to make his presence known but had gone unnoticed, applied to join a team.

Ji Shu looked at the suddenly appearing application and asked, "Who is this Changfeng's friend?"

The team is not recruiting; you can only join if a friend clicks on your application.

“Mine, mine,” Chi Nuo replied.

Ji Shu was brought in directly because Chi Nuo had called her, without asking any further questions.

Changfeng didn't say much after joining the team. He played a few matches with them, but his performance was worse than before. He messed up at crucial moments and hasn't won a single match yet.

He was a little unhappy and said directly into the microphone: "You're not giving me a number, are you just doing this to play with this group of people? Their skills are ridiculously bad, they can't even beat this."

"No, how can you talk like that?" Chi Nuo could tolerate being criticized herself, but she couldn't stand her friend being criticized.

I just didn't understand. She's not completely stupid. She did everything without spending a single penny. What's wrong with helping out out of a little kindness? I don't understand!

"I don't think I called you, did I? I called you, but I didn't invite you to join the fight. You didn't even say anything, and you shamelessly came over. I'm already being nice by not even having my older sister kick you out."

Bai Yuzhou, whose microphone was always muted in the team chat, now has his microphone turned on.

Wen Zhuyao quickly copied and sent the person's background story to three people, at least to understand the battle situation and clarify their identity information.

Changfeng: "No way, your skills are so bad, and you're ignoring me and leaving me hanging because of this bunch of people? Can't I include you in the games you want to play?"

"You talk like you're so great. There are top-notch people who know everything you don't know, so why do you say they can't do anything?" Chi Nuo watched them being slandered, her mouth still open.

I was already single, and I only started making friends because my skills seemed good.

Originally, I felt sorry for them because of their suffering and wanted to take good care of them. That's just my personality. But I never knew what kind of mess I ended up with by taking care of them.

Now that everyone is familiar with the background story, they are quietly getting to work.

Wen Zhuyao was glad that her screen recording was on the whole time. It was another guy she was going to send to debut. "Whether she plays or not is her freedom. You treat him as a tool to serve you. How dare you say anything?"

"You didn't follow the key mechanism, and you didn't move when you should have. I'm only letting you off the hook because you're Chi Nuo's friend." Ji Shu's role as commander is not something an ordinary person can do; her observation and understanding are the fastest.

In terms of evaluation technology, no one can surpass her.

Changfeng was unhappy and bursting with confidence, taking on five opponents at once: "I don't do dungeons, and even in dungeons, my skill level is much better than Chi Nuo's, right?"

"My PvP is the highest, every season. What do you have to compare with me? Dungeons test your skills, right? Dungeons are easy, aren't they?"

Mo Wen finds it hard to judge this kind of person. He knows everyone except him, and even if they were on his side, the other four could drown him with their spittle.

How dare he do that?

"You're very confident, but your win rate is really low. Isn't PVP something anyone can do?" Mo Wen couldn't understand this, considering he was a top-three player on the leaderboard all year round.

Changfeng was crushed by each and every word, and refusing to believe it, he read through all the publicly available information.

One is ranked number one in dungeons, one is ranked number one in PvP, and one has the highest casual popularity, while its dungeon performance is also quite good.

Chi Nuo did all three, and all three were better than him.

There was only one person, Bai Yuzhou, who hadn't been publicly identified; it was as if he had found a suitable candidate.

Changfeng recognized them by their names. Guachinuo had told him before, "You still have the nerve to give orders after playing like this. No wonder you got hung up."

"I won't say anything else. I'm not omnipotent, so I don't even dare to make it public."

Bai Yuzhou secretly turned off his microphone, put on his national title, and started typing in the public chat, "Is this what you want?"

"If you had told me earlier that this was what you wanted, I would have shown it to you sooner." Wen Zhuyao followed suit and typed in the public chat, with each message followed by a message from the public chat.

Mo Wen and Ji Shu changed even more frequently, their style simple yet vibrant.

"Where does your confidence come from? You don't think you're so great, do you?" After being increasingly harsh with him these past few times, Chi Nuo suddenly realized that she should stop indulging him.

Changfeng: "How dare you talk to me like that? Don't you realize who you are? They can abandon you or stop playing with you all at will, but it's me who's always been with you and by your side."

"Including your family, look at the state of your family now! Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

Ji Shu kicked him out directly, leaving a message before kicking him out: "You like being famous, you like being a star and living in people's hearts, then I'll send you to debut."

After he was kicked out, there was a moment of complete silence inside.

Chi Nuo felt ashamed and guilty. Ashamed that her secrets had been exposed, ashamed that she had made such a friend.

That's because of your own actions that everything was disrupted and they were also criticized.

I feel like they'll hate me.

"I'm sorry..." Chi Nuo couldn't say anything more, silently apologizing and silently waiting for the worst outcome.

Bai Yuzhou still didn't turn on his microphone. He left a message on the public chat and then left the team.

"Don't doubt yourself. Our relationship won't be easily broken for any reason. Take care."

"By the way, I just consider this an interlude during a break in the dungeon, or to put it bluntly, a joke to pass the time."

Don't ask if I don't understand. Shouldn't we try to persuade her and soothe her emotions first?

After a few seconds of reaction, he did the same as Bai Yuzhou.

"Our relationship won't be easily broken for any reason. Don't think about what problems you have or what we'll think of you."

"Our idea is the one you think is least likely to happen."

After the two of them quit, Ji Shu interrupted the dungeon and went to a beautiful, tranquil place.

"Tell me, don't hold it in. This place is full of caring older sisters, not those stinky men."

Chi Nuo couldn't hold back any longer, and clear sobs came through the receiver to everyone's ears, "Big sister, I'm sorry."

"I never imagined it would be like this." Chi Nuo felt that her previous kindness was so foolish. Why could she do this? She had cared too much about the other person.
