Chapter 287 A Day in the Life of Mr. Qiao (Part 3)
At 8:30 in the evening, Qiao Susu finally arrived home.
She threw her bag onto the sofa and stretched out on it like a pancake.
"I don't want to move, I just need someone to help me remove my makeup."
Qiao Susu couldn't help but think of Guan Weizi's words again. He once said that the characters in the virtual world could not solve her real-life problems.
She didn't think much of it.
But over the years, the outside world has seen her as glamorous, but only she knows the unknown difficulties.
Women still lack a voice in the business world and are even subject to ridicule in certain settings, such as over drinks. If you get angry, the other party will accuse you of being narrow-minded and claiming women are unsuitable for business. But if you play dumb, the other party will assume you're easy to manipulate, and they'll try to push your limits even further.
Qiao Susu sometimes feels jealous of Guan Weizi.
It's not because he was born into a good family, but because people are jealous of him as a man who has been given more social resources without realizing it and thinks that everything he gets is his due.
But she couldn't deny that she would always have vulnerable moments when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, and at those moments, she still needed someone to hug her in real life.
That's why she allowed Guan Weizhi to take advantage of her situation, had a one-night stand with Gu Mengze despite not having contact for many years, and occasionally responded to Han Chen's seemingly nonchalant but persistent teasing.
In fact, she has not logged into the game world as frequently as before in recent years.
Firstly, work was incredibly busy, leaving her with too many things to worry about. Secondly, after her class change, she had more social engagements. She had tried to decline some meaningless ones, but there were still some she had to attend. Managing all the relationships, both internally and externally, had already consumed a great deal of her energy.
But they in the gaming world didn't know this, and didn't understand why she started to become silent, or even less energetic than before.
Of course, these problems can be solved through communication, but the problem is that a person's energy is limited. After work, she doesn't want to say a word, just lie down somewhere and do nothing.
So Qiao Susu went from logging in every day to three times a week, then three times a month, and now once every two or three months.
She walked back to the master bedroom barefoot and sat in front of the computer for a while. The mouse had moved to the login button, but she didn't press it.
What should she say? Should she also deal with their questions, like why did it take her so long to come?
When she thought of this, Qiao Susu felt that the mouse in her hand weighed a thousand pounds.
She sat for a while longer, then turned to take a shower and went straight to bed.
In the dim room, Qiao Susu didn't notice the changes on the computer screen.
This game has been upgraded to holographic simulation by Ye Xi, that is, players can choose the companion state, that is, the player himself is in the real world, but can be synchronized with the game world. For example, if she adjusts the mode to the companion state, the two worlds can be connected.
Qiao Susu usually doesn't open it because she has been too tired recently and doesn't want to face Luka and the others in this state, but she accidentally clicked on the companionship status when she moved the mouse just now, so she had no idea that the two worlds are now connected.
Game world.
A dragon roared in the sky, the earth trembled, and the dust and grass stirred up by the huge wings flew everywhere.
Sang Yan changed back into human form, took out the robe he carried with him and put it on, then walked straight to the Oslan Royal Court.
As soon as he entered the palace corridor, Sang Yan saw Carl walking towards him. He was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt that was close to his skin, black leather pants, black suspenders around his muscular waist, and two guns stuck in the suspenders on both sides of his thighs.
Sang Yan frowned and asked, "Are you taking that kind of job again?"
Karl Zhangyang's eyebrows were cold and he looked at him coldly: "Why don't you answer it? You're just wasting your time."
Sang Yan was silent for a second, saying nothing. He knew they hadn't been having a good time since Sui Sui had been less and less active in the game. Carl had returned to his old job, but instead of working for the Federation, he was taking on odd assassination jobs as a bounty hunter. It wasn't for the money, but rather because he needed to release the frustration he felt.
Karl passed by his side directly, without looking away, and said: “I advise you not to offend them today.”
Sang Yan pursed his lips. He knew the reason without asking.
Today is the anniversary of Sui Sui’s marriage to them, but they have been waiting since daytime and have not seen her appear in the game.
“Maybe she’s busy.”
He couldn't even believe what he said, so how could he comfort Karl?
Karl just smiled sadly and said self-deprecatingly: "Yeah, I'm so busy that I even forget about days like this." Then he strode away.
Sang Yan was still standing there. He looked up and saw the silver-hooked moon, and sighed silently.
Ten minutes later, he finally arrived at the palace of Liberi, because some procedures for the Free Alliance's checkpoint trade required his approval.
But as soon as I entered, I heard the sound of fierce fighting.
Sang Yan walked quickly into the inner room, where he saw books, broken wine glasses, and other miscellaneous items scattered on the floor. Labery was pinned to the table by Anubis, the two men clutching each other's collars. Anubis wasn't completely dominant, either; there were noticeable bruises on his face and around his mouth.
He hurried forward and pulled the two apart. Anubis had already let go for Sang Yan's sake, but Labery retorted again.
"Do you think she still cares about you? Her world is so much more exciting than this. Do you think she doesn't have other men over there?"
"I told you to shut up!"
Anubis punched Labery in the face. The latter was hit hard, but suddenly he raised his head and laughed. As he laughed, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"She's forgotten you a long time ago! Believe it or not, she's already tired of you! Because you're no longer new to her, she's already tired of you! You're just a piece of trash that was thrown away!"
Sang Yan looked at Liberi with his red eyes, and for a moment he didn't know whether he was talking to Anubis or to himself.
Now he could only stop Anubis and prevent the two sides from fighting again.
However, the young man in front of him stopped moving, standing there motionless like a fire extinguished by water.
Anubis looked at Liberi coldly for a long while, then lowered his gloomy eyes and said dryly, "As long as she is doing well, that's all that matters."
Unexpectedly, this sentence irritated Liberi like a needle tip. He roared with red eyes: "Why! She is an irresponsible bad woman! Why should she live a good life!!!"
Anubis clenched his fists, his eyes filled with warning: "That's enough!"
Sang Yan, who had been trying to mediate, was no longer neutral. He frowned at Liberi and said, "You're not sober right now. Don't say such things anymore."
"Am I wrong? She left the day after she gave birth to your wolf cubs, and she came less and less after that. Even when she did come, how many times did she see your child? I have to say! She is irresponsible! She is fickle! She is fickle! She...she doesn't love you anymore."
His voice gradually faded, until his words were choked with sobs and he could barely speak. Labley covered his face with his hands in agony, tears streaming down his face.
She doesn't love him anymore.
She doesn't want him anymore.
He would scold her, preferably letting her hear it and make her angry, which would be better than being cold and ignored day after day.
