Chapter 52

Jiang Yunu does have the ability to be a "little girl with two faces".

But as of now, no one has discovered this first.

Qiao Daisi couldn't get through to Joyson on the phone, so she called Jiang Yunu and successfully reached her. The little girl praised and coaxed her in various ways, and her naturally slightly aggressive and beautiful eyes became even softer.

"Okay, I won't waste your time any more."

The video call lasted for quite a while. Finally, it was Qiao Daisi who looked at the time and took the initiative to stop the call that was getting longer and longer without them noticing.

Aunt Daisy instructed Jiang Yunu, "Just tell that kid Qiao Yisen about going home. We can talk about anything else when we get home next week."

Jiang Yunu was surprisingly patient when talking to people of the same sex and elders on the phone. If Qiao Daisi didn't stop, she would have continued chatting.

Hearing the other party's active intention to hang up, she smiled on the video: "Okay, when I go back to Chat next week, I will grab all of Aunt Daisy's attention and chat with her all night long."

As soon as Jodie heard it, she knew she was being sweet-talking again.

But what does it matter? Who doesn't like a clever little girl who's sweet-talking and deliberately making them happy?

Aunt Daisy smiled politely, "Okay, I'll see if you can do it when you come back next weekend."

Jiang Yunu made a promise: "I promise to do what I say!"

The video call was then disconnected.

Qiao Daisi waited a while on purpose, waiting for Jiang Yunu to die first.

Before Jiang Yunu answered the phone, she only felt that she was a little hungry. After she sat down on a chair on the side of the school road and finished the call, she stood up again. She touched her stomach and found that her hunger level had increased, and her stomach began to clamor at her very wildly.

She decisively went to buy some extra food.

The snack was almost finished, and Jiang Yunu glanced at the time. It was almost 11 o'clock in the morning.

No matter how much Joyson stayed in bed, it was about time for him to wake up.

Jiang Yunu called Qiao Yisen on the terminal.

Qiao Yisen rarely received calls from Jiang Yunu. When he answered the phone, he sounded surprised: "Xiao Jiang? Is it you? You actually called?"

Joyson asked three questions in a row as soon as he came up. His voice sounded quite sober, so he probably didn't just wake up from sleep.

Jiang Yunu didn't use video chat with him, just voice chat.

She said, “Is it weird that I would call?”

Jiang Yunu sounded puzzled.

Joyson's denial immediately came from the terminal: "No, no, it's just a little surprising."

After all, in Joyson's opinion, Jiang Yunu has always had an indescribable... unfamiliarity with the use of electronic products.

Many functions seemed non-existent in her hands, and she only used the most basic ones.

This was the first time that Joeysen received a terminal call from Jiang Yunu, so how could he not be surprised?

Jiang Yunu had no idea what her red-haired friend was thinking. She was quite surprised by Joyson's surprise, but she didn't care about the details. She just told Joyson: "Aunt Daisy called your terminal this morning but couldn't get through, so she called me - she told us both to remember to go home next week."

When she was halfway through her words, Joyson gasped very noticeably, probably thinking that missing Aunt Daisy's call was a "major accident."

When Qiao Yisen heard Jiang Yunuo say that Qiao Daisi called just to remind them to remember to go home next week, his first reaction was miraculously the same as Jiang Yunuo's.

"My mom..." Joyson hesitated, "...Is she still angry about not going home this week?"

Jiang Yunu replied: "She said she didn't."

To Joyson, this answer did not sound like a perfect "pardon answer."

Joyson's suspicions only grew. "Is she smiling with a fake smile? Is she saying she's not angry, but actually her eyes are like daggers, piercing you with a sharp gaze?"

Jiang Yunu said: "I don't think so."

But she added: "--at least not for me at all."

Joyson on the other end of the phone: "..."

Not for Jiang Yunu, but not necessarily for Joeysen.

Especially Joyson, who stayed in bed that morning and didn't answer the phone.

Without turning on the video, Jiang Yunu couldn't see what was happening on Qiao Yisen's side, but she could hear the other party's worry and melancholy about his own fate from the long sigh that followed.

"I'll make a phone call to admit my mistake later." Joyson said sadly.

But before that, Joyson made an appointment with Jiang Yunu to have lunch together.

Jiang Yunu agreed with Qiao Yisen's weighing and choice. She said, "This is what they call having come to this point. Let's eat first."

During lunch, Qiao Yisen listened to Jiang Yunu share her two flight experiences last night and early this morning. Because Jiang Yunu's weekend flight times were so rare, it was either too late after she got off the plane or too early before she got back on. This resulted in her being essentially disconnected for the past 15 hours.

From the time I got on the plane last night to the time I got on the plane early this morning, it was inconvenient to send messages to anyone, either because I was afraid of disturbing their sleep at night or their dreams in the morning.

Joyson was a little surprised that Jiang Yunu would also suffer setbacks.

"You said you weren't having success in killing monsters?" Joyson asked in surprise.

"Yeah." Jiang Yunu admitted, and sighed again. Then she looked at Qiao Yisen while holding the gleaming silver fork. "Why are you surprised by something like this?"

A brief look of deep thought appeared on the red-haired boy's face, and then he shook his head.

"I don't know." Joyson said honestly, "But I just find it strange. It's surprising to hear you say that you're having trouble hitting something."

Jiang Yunu: "Why?"

Joyce couldn't explain it either. He pulled at his hair and said, "Because I think you give people a very strong impression?"

It is not yet the usual peak time for the cafeteria, but since it is the weekend, many people choose to come to the cafeteria early for lunch.

When Joyson said this, several students happened to pass by his and Jiang Yunuo's dining table. Someone heard his words clearly and subconsciously looked in the direction he was facing towards Jiang Yunuo.

"--laugh."

The leading boy couldn't help but sneer.

Obviously, he didn't think Jiang Yunu was that strong.

Most people might feel a little embarrassed in this situation, and shy children would even show shame on their faces. Joyson also clearly heard the man's disdainful laughter, and the relaxed expression on his face froze in an instant. He looked up with a blank expression, becoming someone who would usually be mistaken for being "aloof".

Jiang Yunu, on the other hand, raised her head and faced the boy who laughed. She looked at him and said directly, "Hello, were you laughing at me just now?"

The boy seemed to be surprised by Jiang Yunu's reaction. He glanced at her face and stuttered when he answered, "Yes, yes."

Before he finished speaking, as if he felt his reaction was a bit cowardly, the boy immediately puffed out his chest again: "I'm laughing at you, is that okay?"

Jiang Yunu looked at him with a strange expression: "I didn't say no."

Boy: “…”

Joyson: “…”

Jiang Yunu also comforted the boy: "Don't think too much in advance."

Boy: “…”

Joyson: “…”

The boy quietly took a step back. He could see that Jiang Yunu was genuine and his posture was natural and frank.

...But being natural and frank in this situation seems strange no matter how you look at it, and it seems like the person is not very smart.

Jiang Yunu continued to speak sincerely to the boy, "You can think I'm not strong, and my friends can think I'm strong. It doesn't matter. Regardless of whether I'm truly strong or not, everyone should always have dreams. What do you think?"

Boy: “…”

The boy didn't want to say it. He felt that he had gradually forgotten why he was standing next to this table, and he had completely lost the desire to laugh at others who overestimated their own abilities.

...What a weird girl!

The boy who led the sneer at Jiang Yunu said nothing and left quickly with his friends.

Jiang Yunu looked at the departing figures, still a little puzzled. She looked back at Qiao Yisen: "Why did they leave? If you want to make fun of me, shouldn't you say a few more words?"

"..." Joyson was silent for a long time, and finally said, "He may... really don't know what to say to you."

Jiang Yunu tilted his head and commented bluntly, "What a weird classmate."

Joyson silently buried his head in his food and thought to himself: That person might have thought the same of you when he left.

Lunch time was almost over, and the game problems Jiang Yunuo encountered were far beyond Qiao Yisen's ability to solve. Qiao Yisen would not encounter the first elemental beast in his gaming career until tonight when he went online.

As for the "high-level problems" that Jiang Yunu faced, the red-haired boy could only listen and could not give any effective suggestions.

"It's okay." Jiang Yunu took a tissue and wiped her mouth. She waved to Qiao Yisen, "It's good enough that you can listen here."

In all the difficulties Jiang Yunu had faced before, she had always been unable to find a living person to listen to her.

Her little friend now is alive, can breathe, can talk, and will actively contact and care about her. Jiang Yunu thinks everything is perfect.

Talking about the evening's computer session, Jiang Yunu also reminded Qiao Yisen: "Although our situations may not be the same, based on my previous experience, the first elemental beast the system gives you should correspond to your own supernatural element."

Joyson took note of this immediately.

There was still a long time before evening, so Jiang Yunu returned to the dormitory after dinner. He found the combat video that he had accidentally searched for yesterday and carefully reviewed, and watched it again.

This time she paid attention to the opponent's combat duration——

Twenty minutes.

In reality, it only took Shen Yijing, a freshman from Duma Academy, twenty minutes to kill a real wind elemental beast that was higher level than the one she encountered in the game.

Jiang Yunu let the video replay automatically in a loop while she lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling to calm herself down.

Very subtly, she felt a faint sense of competition arising in her heart.

I also want to achieve such results.

Jiang Yunu thought.

Then after a few seconds, she changed her target——

No, that's not right.

I want to surpass that result.
