Chapter 1 Life is like a box of chocolates



And then this time it happened, Ah Huang's boyfriend gave her a necklace worth more than 20,000 yuan.

A necklace costing 20,000 yuan is a bit extravagant, but Lu Yibei can still afford it if he grits his teeth.

But frankly, he's just an innocent young man, not a god.

Compared to so many "other people's boyfriends", how can he compare in every way?

"I was never someone else's child when I was young, and now that I'm grown up, I'm expected to be someone else's boyfriend. Life is really tough."

Lu Yibei shook her head self-deprecatingly, "Besides, he's not even my boyfriend."

Zhou Zhou was the one who said those things, but he ended up getting a severe scolding.

All my love was wasted on the dog.

Oh no, he's the dog.

Even a sycophant is still a dog; it's laughable.

He originally thought that after hearing such words, he would be able to start arguing with Zhou Zhou.

I never expected the reaction to be so calm.

He really did inherit his mother's excellent genes.

This isn't an insult; it's Lu Yibei's biological mother.

Ms. Lu Chaoxi always maintains a calm and composed demeanor when she's arguing with someone.

"He truly is my mother's good eldest son, really excellent."

Lu Yibei muttered to himself, then thought of what Zhou Zhou had said. He said to himself, "Forget it, Lu Yibei, let's just forget about it."

After saying that, he sighed and leaned back in his computer chair.

Zhou Zhou's roar disappeared from my ears, and a sense of tranquility I had never felt before washed over me.

Lu Yibei suddenly remembered why he had liked Zhou Zhou in the first place.

It seemed to be an afternoon during high school. She stood under the sycamore tree at school, dappled sunlight shining on her round face. Her smile was pure and lovely.

"How did it turn out like this?"

Lu Yibei asked himself the question, but received no answer.

He shook his head again, swiped the mouse a couple of times, and turned the screen back on.

The placement matches are still more important.

He was prepared to go back into the gun.

But the game was already over; he had left the game AFK for half the match.

The result of leaving your account unattended is a 72-hour account ban.

Lu Yibei stared at the notification box indicating his account had been banned: "...Damn it."

I glanced at the penguin icon in the bottom left corner again; the avatars were jumping around randomly.

[Qingqian: What happened? Did you disconnect?]

Qingqian is Lu Yibei's good brother and gaming teammate for many years.

We met online.

Although they had never met, they had shared a deep bond through the battles of war.

Just like her ID suggests, Qingqian has a cool and aloof personality, and even her profile picture is a default penguin.

[Heading North: My crush called, we had a fight, and we completely broke up.]

[Qingqian: I hope everyone is alright]

[Heading North: I'm okay, but my account got banned. I'm afraid I can't fight alongside you today, brother... Sorry.]

[Qingqian: How about playing something else? Let's not play gunfights anymore, I'm afraid you'll mess things up and screw me over.]

【Heading North: Let's Shake It Up】

[Qingqian: Then you should see a urologist.]

【Heading North: Want to Farm?】

[Shallow: 1]

[Heading North: Stardew Valley, Initiating!]

Stardew Valley is a farming simulation game with a focus on casual gameplay.

Lu Yibei originally wanted to confide in his good brother, and even used the sentimental term "white moonlight".

As a result, the person simply didn't respond.

As expected of Qingqian, she is oblivious to everything else and only focuses on playing Steam.

Lu Yibei did not force the issue.

Although he and his good brother had fought together, mined together, robbed banks and farmed together, Qingqian basically did not interfere with his family and life.

Lu Yibei told himself to learn from Qingqian Shaoxia, quickly put aside personal feelings, and become a master gamer as soon as possible.

Qingqian sent me a QQ call.

Lu Yibei: ?

He quickly typed "Wait, do I need to report the location to farm?" into the chat box while clicking to answer the call.

Qingqian has always been a man of few words, and this doesn't just apply to typing.

He became even quieter.

When they were shooting, only Lu Yibei would chatter away. Only when Qingqian had time to free her hands would she reply with text messages.

Qingqian said that the computer didn't have a microphone.

Lu Yibei said, "Then I'll give you one."

Qingqian, are we that close?

Lu Yibei said, "It's just ordinary stuff, not expensive. Consider it a reward for all these years of patiently helping me rank up. Don't be shy."

Qingqian said, "But I don't want to tell you my home address."

Lu Yibei: "..."

It's not because I'm embarrassed.

Lu Yibei adjusted the volume and was just about to speak.

A rustling sound came from the other end.

Is Qingqian speaking up?

Holy crap, is the sun going to rise in the west tomorrow?

"Hello, hello, hello... Huh? No sound? Can't you hear me?"

This was the first time Lu Yibei had heard his good brother's voice.

The sound was clear and cool, as pleasant as the sound of cool stream water in July or August crashing against the pebbles on the riverbank.

Lu Yibei: "..."

Female, female voice?

Not hearing a reply from Lu Yibei, Qingqian said coquettishly, "I've hardly used it since I bought it, could it be broken... Humph, how could it be such a coincidence?"

Lu Yibei forced a trembling smile, but he didn't speak. Instead, he typed away rapidly on the keyboard.

"Qingqian, we have a younger sister in our family."

She remained silent for a moment, then spoke coldly, "Didn't you hear that?"

The silence didn't disappear; it shifted to Lu Yibei's side.

Qingqian: "I don't have a younger sister. I am your younger sister."
