Chapter 58 Are you planning to never see me again? ...
In the game, the hero who was playing so skillfully suddenly seemed to be frozen in place, completely immobilized.
Wen Zhi lowered her head slightly and admired the kitten she had photographed for a while longer. The more she looked at it, the cuter it seemed, and she could still recall the feel of those fluffy cat ears.
When I looked up again, I found that Song Juelan's character was still, and I hadn't heard his voice in my headphones for a long time.
"Jue Lan?" He thought it was a network delay and called out tentatively.
There was still silence in the headphones. After several more seconds, the deep voice calmly replied, "Hmm, cute."
After he finished speaking, the character in the game returned to normal, and his actions became even more swift and powerful, continuing to dominate the battlefield.
Wen Zhi didn't detect anything amiss, her eyes crinkling slightly as she shared in a lighthearted tone, "It's so clingy! It followed me the whole time and even rubbed its tail against me..."
Meanwhile, the other people in dormitory 303 waited and waited, but Wen Zhi didn't join the team. Instead, they saw that Wen Zhi's status had changed to "in the game".
Immediately afterwards, I heard that clear and pleasant voice speaking softly into the microphone.
"..."
The three exchanged bewildered glances, then quickly realized that Wen Zhi had been lured into the group by someone else halfway through her journey after logging in, leaving them heartlessly abandoned.
It's obvious without even thinking that the person who kidnapped Wen Zhi must be Wen Zhi's mysterious lover.
All three of them were inexplicably filled with the sadness of their own beautiful young maiden being taken advantage of.
On the other side, the three people in dormitory 203 encountered the same situation.
Seeing that Song Juelan had already started a game and that his tone was much gentler than usual, the other three people in the dormitory immediately understood.
I happened to run into my partner online, so I helped her rank up.
It seems that Brother Song and his partner have an exceptionally good relationship.
The three of them were a little disappointed that they couldn't be carried by the pros tonight, so they teamed up and played a game on their own.
In the dormitory, the crisp sound of typing on keyboards could be heard incessantly, occasionally interspersed with a few laughs and curses from roommates. The entire dormitory was engrossed in their work in front of the computers.
Song Juelan's mind was not on the game at all.
Her slender fingers typed on the keyboard almost instinctively, controlling the game character with lightning-fast reflexes. With each kill, Wen Zhi's soft voice would come through the headphones, praising her.
The phone screen on the table was still lit, and the picture of the kitten occupied a corner of his vision, yet it captivated his entire attention.
The moment he saw the photo, he immediately recognized that the yellow and white cat in the picture was the same cat that had blocked his way that night.
Upon realizing this, my mind went blank for a moment, and the rapid pounding of my heart pounded in my ears like a drum. It took a while for my rationality to return.
If, during this period, he hadn't narrowed down the scope to his own city, S, and city C, hundreds of kilometers away, based on the photos shared by Wen Zhi, he might have thought it was just an amazing coincidence.
But at this moment, he was almost 90 percent certain that Wen Zhi was not far from him.
They even walked the same road and encountered the same cat tonight.
This clear thought made him shudder slightly, and his grip on the mouse tightened, causing the metal-cased mouse to creak under the strain.
Knowing that Wen Zhi was nearby, Song Juelan quickly calmed down, like a wild beast that had finally locked onto its prey and entered hunting mode, forcibly suppressing all its anxiety.
After winning a game with Wen Zhi, he stared intently at her avatar, his voice devoid of any emotion: "Are you planning to never see me again?"
There was a moment of silence in the earphones before Wen Zhi's seemingly innocent voice rang out: "No, I'll be going back for the New Year."
Song Juelan unconsciously gritted her teeth and sneered inwardly.
By the time the New Year comes, Wen Zhi will probably have already found her ex-husband. Does he have to just watch Wen Zhi be all lovey-dovey with someone else?
This person is truly ruthless.
He would never let Wen Zhi get what she wanted.
"What if I want to see you right now?" Song Juelan asked again, his voice filled with a strong sense of pressure.
On the other side of the screen, Wen Zhi's pretty face scrunched up in a distressed expression.
He knew that even in a long-distance relationship, they should meet occasionally, but Xiao Tang wasn't by his side right now, and going to see Song Juelan would greatly risk exposing their secret.
After hesitating for a moment, he pinched his fingertips, carefully avoiding the question: "I miss you too, really..."
The three people in the dormitory who were playing games and eavesdropping almost had their teeth ache when they heard this.
These two really don't care about anyone else's life or death when they show off their affection.
As Song Juelan listened to the increasingly soft and sweet voice in his earphones, he realized that Wen Zhi was avoiding answering his questions directly. Instead of being appeased, the storm brewing in his eyes became even more dangerous.
He couldn't possibly be fooled a second time by Wen Zhi's sweet words.
The next game had already started, and Wen Zhi followed behind him nonchalantly, her lively character skipping and hopping as she walked.
Song Juelan suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "You left in such a hurry last time, did you wash all my things?"
Wen Zhi's fingertips trembled violently, and her eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief and shock, as if she had misheard: "What...?"
A surge of anger coursed through Song Juelan's heart, and she began to harbor many malicious thoughts towards this heartless person.
He wanted to see Wen Zhi flustered and embarrassed, her face flushed red.
"You won't give Xiaotang a younger brother or sister, will you?" He lowered his voice even further, almost whispering the question.
"..." Wen Zhi's fingertips instantly became scalding hot, and she almost couldn't hold the mouse.
He couldn't help but recall that chaotic night, that thing with unstoppable force that almost pierced his stomach. So Song Juelan's thing was also left deep inside.
I always thought that people who are into sports are all very strong, and it turns out that this is indeed the case.
But to his surprise, Song Juelan deliberately brought up the matter again.
How did this person become so bad?
His whole body was burning up, and his exposed skin was flushed with a light pink. He stared at the character on the screen for a while, and then, emboldened by the fact that Song Juelan was far away, he said, "You're not that powerful."
"..." Song Juelan almost ground his back teeth to powder, and the veins on his forehead throbbed faintly.
That night, Wen Zhi even said he was better than her ex-husband. Was that also a lie?
After Wen Zhi refuted him, she felt much better. She controlled her adorable hero and proudly circled around Song Juelan's hero a few times.
Anyway, he won't be meeting Song Juelan anytime soon, so he's not afraid of Song Juelan holding a grudge against him.
After playing a few more games, Wen Zhi noticed it was getting late, so she told Song Juelan she was going to take a shower and then logged off the game.
After shutting down his computer, he picked up his phone from the desktop and saw several trending topics pushed to him by social media.
[Online dating partner shows up at your door, netizens exclaim it's terrifying]
[Refuse to share excessively; these details are leaking your privacy]
Wen Zhi glanced at them casually and swiped them away.
He doesn't do online dating, so why push it to him?
In dormitory 203, the intense typing had not yet stopped.
"Brother Song, are you going out so late?" Fei Kangcheng glanced up from his game and noticed that Song Juelan had turned off his computer at some point and was standing at the door bending down to change his shoes.
Song Juelan pushed open the door and walked out, leaving behind only a low, unwavering reply without turning his head: "Yeah, something came up."
Stepping out of the dormitory building, he headed straight for the grove of trees he had passed earlier that day. Before he even got close, he heard the chattering voices drifting over again.
"You ate so much but won't let me touch you? You heartless little brat!"
"He ran away again! Quick, get him another cat treat."
"I've run out, what about you?"
Song Juelan stopped a short distance away, took out his phone from his pocket, opened WeChat, and took another careful look at the photo Wen Zhi had sent.
In the photo, besides the distinctive yellow and white ears on its head, the cat also had a small, inconspicuous black spot on the right side of its pink nose. However, he walked too fast tonight and didn't notice whether the cat blocking his way had this black spot on its face.
Recalling the conversation that group had just had, he frowned slightly, pondering where he could buy cat treats.
However, the next second, a slender figure stepped gracefully out from behind a tree and, just like tonight, swaggered past him.
Song Juelan's gaze immediately locked onto the big fat cat. After hesitating for a moment, he squatted down in front of it.
Tonight, the cat came to rub against his trouser leg, but he ignored it coldly. The cat was much more aloof now. Its fluffy tail almost brushed against his chin, but its furry head was held high with arrogance, and its amber cat eyes lazily glanced at him, without any intention of turning its head to look at him.
He had no choice but to stand up again, and taking advantage of his long legs, he circled around to the front of the fat cat in two steps, squatted down again, and carefully observed the cat's face. When his gaze caught that small black spot, his pupils suddenly contracted.
It has the exact same black spots on the cat's face as in the photo.
It really is the same cat.
The big, fat cat in front of him tilted its head curiously, boldly moved closer to him, and sniffed his trouser leg with its wet nose.
Song Juelan's heart seemed to leap out of his chest. He took a deep breath without making a sound before reaching out and gently stroking the fat cat's chin with his slender fingers.
Unexpectedly, this cat saw Wen Zhi before he did.
The big fat cat comfortably squinted its eyes, its whiskers twitched, and it meowed at him, purring softly from its throat.
The group of people who had been feeding the cat earlier rushed over at the sound and saw the big, fat cat that had ignored them now lying obediently at the feet of a tall man. Their feelings were immediately complicated.
Soon, someone in the crowd recognized the person as Song Juelan, who was currently very popular on campus. They immediately took out their phones and took a few photos of him.
After petting the "great hero" who had helped him so much for a while, Song Juelan stood up without lingering, ignoring the fat cat that was still rubbing against his feet with relish, and strode off in another direction.
During this time, he memorized every photo Wenzhi shared with him and quickly found all the restaurants and shops in the vast campus.
Unlike the feeling shown on navigation software, as I walked past each store, a part of my heart seemed to be lit up, as if I could see Wen Zhi walking on this road.
Wen Zhi has indeed been active in this area these days.
As night deepened, the streetlights cast a dim yellow glow on the ground, and many elderly people with children were strolling slowly towards the school gate.
Near their school, there are several old residential buildings where most of the faculty and staff's families live. They can freely enter and leave the campus, so people from outside can be seen everywhere on campus.
Wen Zhi should belong to this type of person.
In addition, Wen Zhi used to be a student here and is familiar with this area. It's normal for her to come here often if she lives nearby.
Song Juelan never expected that choosing to study at Wen Zhi's former school would bring such unexpected benefits.
Almost instantly, a clear plan formed in his mind. Tomorrow, all he needed to do was rush to the store the moment Wen Zhi sent the photos, and he could bring back the person he longed for.
His fingers, hanging by his side, curled slightly, and his eyes, as dark as the clouds in the night sky, were eager to see Wen Zhi's panicked expression.
