Why Chapter 113?

"Luo Luo, what's wrong?" He Ziyan asked softly when he saw Jiang Luo staring blankly at her phone.

Jiang Luo looked up, perked up, and changed the subject: "Where should we go to play first?"

Xiao Lin's words were too heavy, and she didn't want to put such a heavy burden on this relationship before it even began.

He Ziyan sensed that something was wrong with Jiang Luo, paused for a second with his gaze, and did not ask any further questions.

"Let's go to Melody Mall first. Mr. He said he has a physical store there. Let's go check it out. I heard they have a lot of VR games, which must be really fun. I've never experienced anything like it before!"

VR.

Jiang Luo's heart skipped a beat.

"What kind of VR game is it?" she asked, glancing sideways.

The scenery outside the window was rushing past, and He Ziyan was a relative stillness in that moving landscape.

"There are many different kinds of games, but we collaborate with game developers on them. We don't make games; we make VR headsets," he explained patiently.

Jiang Luo's gaze froze, unsure how to continue the question, but she still said, "Perfect timing, I need a pair of VR glasses recently, let's go take a look."

He Ziyan smiled with satisfaction, "I'll give these to you...anyone you like, I'll pay."

Aren't you even a little bit curious?

Why not ask her what she needs VR glasses for?

Does He Ziyan know everything she and Yan Zihe said?

So... he must be Yan Zihe.

Jiang Luo's head was spinning, and she looked away.

It was Shi Yan who asked Jiang Luo's question from behind: "Huh? Luo Luo, you play games too?"

Jiang Luo hummed in agreement.

What games do you play?

"Just... just playing around."

Shi Yan teased, "4399 mini-games?"

Jiang Luo responded with a dry laugh.

"Actually, I used to play Honor of Kings with my boss. He's a top-tier jungler, incredibly skilled. We even teamed up as a couple before..."

Accompanied by the cheerful chirping of the cigarette smoke, the vehicle drove through the bustling city main road and into the Melody shopping mall.

Take the escalator up from the parking lot, and right across from the elevator is YB's offline store, which is predominantly silver-white with striking Klein blue lines, giving it a high-tech feel.

The store is huge, over 200 square meters, and you can't see the whole thing at a glance. The new energy vehicle showroom next door looks very small in comparison.

Jiang Luo originally thought that Lin Shuang's No. 1 store was spacious enough, but now that she saw YB's offline store, she realized what true extravagance meant.

The store was packed with people; a quick glance revealed a sea of ​​heads, especially around the ACAI robot, where it was surrounded by layers upon layers of people.

Most of the attendees were young people, mostly parents bringing their children to experience the experience, and the children's exclamations of amazement were constant.

"Wow! Mom, look!"

"That's so cool!"

...

To prevent Jiang Luo from being surrounded by onlookers, He Ziyan made arrangements in advance, and the store manager was waiting for them at the door.

Upon spotting them, they warmly greeted them, "Mr. He, Ms. Jiang, Ms. Shi."

He Ziyan nodded. "Let's go."

"The VIP room is ready." The store manager and He Ziyan led the way, followed by Jiang Luo and Shi Yan.

Glancing at the impressive sight inside the store, Shi Yan whispered, "I came here before when I was doing market research, and it's always packed. Many of my younger colleagues also come here to browse, not necessarily to buy anything, but just to experience the power of technology. Actually, I wanted to buy a C6 after the last launch event..."

"What is C6?" Jiang Luo asked.

Shi Yan spoke eloquently: "C6 is the sixth generation of companion robots. It can chat with you, tell you stories, and if you have cats or dogs, it can even help you feed them."

"Not only that," the store manager said, stepping aside as he walked, "we can also help you walk your cats and dogs."

Jiang Luo: "Like a nanny?"

Store Manager: "Yes! Like a nanny providing constant companionship!"

Shi Yan looked at He Ziyan: "Mr. He, once I've saved enough money, remember to give me the lowest discount."

"I'll give you one." He Ziyan was very generous.

Shi Yan finally understood why some people around her tried so hard to befriend rich people, and why rich people were so generous and casual in giving gifts. However, she knew in her heart that she and He Ziyan could only be considered indirect friends, separated by Luo Luo. She couldn't accept such an expensive gift from him, so she waved her hands repeatedly, "It's too expensive! I can't accept it. Just give me the lowest discount!"

The store manager glanced at He Ziyan and chimed in, "How about this? Our demo units have an expiration date. When we need to retire our demo units, we can give them to you, as long as you don't mind."

The prototype is a bit old, but it's free and works the same.

Is there really such a good thing?

Shi Yan was excited, but her first instinct was to look at Jiang Luo, "Is it okay?"

Jiang Luo: ...Why are you looking at me like that?

Jiang Luo looked at He Ziyan, who smiled and said, "Of course, otherwise it would just sit idle."

"Mr. He, you're such a kind person! I'm sure your wishes will come true!"

Looking at Jiang Luo, He Ziyan replied, "I hope so."

Jiang Luo: ...Why are you looking at me again?

The VIP lounge was indeed very VIP-friendly, a huge room with three space capsules placed side by side, and a huge widescreen on the other side with a VR gaming area.

As soon as she entered, Shi Yan's eyes lit up. "It's like a science fiction movie!"

Jiang Luo looked around and nodded.

Then, the two looked at each other and smiled, their expressions showing perfect understanding.

They tried every activity and had a great time. One moment they were swimming underwater, the next they were flying in the sky. The whole room was filled with Shi Yan and Jiang Luo's shouts and laughter.

Jiang Luo was so excited that she almost forgot about Yan Zihe.

The joy ended when the store manager brought out two gift boxes containing VR glasses.

VR glasses.

As expected, it's meant to be given to them.

Jiang Luo was suddenly dragged back into the abyss of troubles. Her smile gradually faded. She stopped playing the game, stood still, and looked at the shop manager standing next to He Ziyan.

Shi Yan got tired of playing and said to Jiang Luo, "Are we done playing?"

"Um."

He Ziyan took it from the store manager, who then left.

"This is for you. I've already paid for it, so please don't refuse. It's a bit heavy, let me carry it for you." He Ziyan smiled, a hint of pride in his eyes.

He believed he was considerate enough to win Luo Luo's heart and bring her a little surprise.

Shi Yan initially wanted to argue a bit, but then felt that would be too hypocritical, so she simply reached out and asked for it, saying, "Thank you, President He! There's no need for you to carry it for me, I can carry it myself!"

He Ziyan smiled and handed the items to Shi Yan.

He naturally favors honest people, especially since Shi Yan is Luo Luo's friend.

When she looked at Luo Luo again, her smile gradually faded.

Like a rainy day shrouded in mist, Jiang Luo's face was gloomy and melancholy, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"Luo Luo?" He Ziyan called out uncertainly.

With her eyes downcast, Jiang Luo asked, "Why are you giving us VR glasses?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was sharp, shattering the happy atmosphere that had been lingering in the room.
