The next day, I made an appointment with Tang Shuyu and Su Nuo to visit Cheng Xingran, and told Xiao Qi in advance that she didn't need to come along.
"That woman is insane, she actually pulled out a knife!"
Su Nuo wasn't there that day; she only heard what they were saying. She thought he was acting like a lunatic.
"She might be crazy. Oh right, did she go to operate the sewing machine?"
Tang Shuyu became even angrier when she saw Cheng Xingran's bandaged hand.
"Knowing Qi Jingchen as I do, I don't think he'd let her go in so easily."
Qin Zifu asked Qi Jingchen yesterday, and he told her that he had gone to other places. When she asked again, he didn't say anything more.
"We really can't let her be so comfortable. She's a ticking time bomb; we absolutely can't let her show up again. It's too dangerous."
Cheng Xingran casually leaned back on the sofa and recalled the situation that day. There were too many people that day, and the lighting wasn't very bright. So many bodyguards didn't come over immediately, so danger was always present.
“You’ll still need someone to protect you from now on. Although you’re quite capable, you’re pregnant after all. I saw you kick her yesterday, and I was worried you used too much force.”
"I was worried after I kicked him, but thankfully the hospital checkup showed nothing was wrong. Qi Jingchen has already arranged for someone to help, but I didn't bring anyone with me today."
These women don't need to bring anyone else with them when they get together, unlike Qi Jingchen and his group, who have several bodyguards, both overt and covert, when they go out together.
"That's good. Safety should be the top priority."
"Xingran, I got this from my grandma. It's a scar-removing miracle product that won't leave scars. You can start applying it once you don't need bandages anymore."
Qin Zifu went to ask for it specifically this morning, so that she wouldn't have a scar. This hand is a place that's usually easily visible.
"Okay, I'll apply it carefully."
"Yes, the earlier you apply it, the faster it will heal."
"Okay, I'll definitely do it well and make sure there are no scars on my hands."
Cheng Xingran was still very concerned; she couldn't let her hands have scars. How could a fairy like her have scars?
Where is Ling Zhiyi?
"He went home, but he wouldn't leave. I told him you wanted to come, and only then did he go back."
"I think you two are a good match. Why don't you spend more time together and see how things go? Give it a chance."
Tang Shuyu felt sorry for Ling Zhiyi.
My mom doesn't agree.
Have you told him why your mother disagrees?
“I never said that, it’s meaningless. His image in the industry is already deeply ingrained, plus the deliberate smear campaign by his family.”
But none of that is true.
Does it matter whether something is true or false? People believe what is true based on what they want to be true.
Cheng Xingran didn't want to worry about it; it was too troublesome. She was busy every day.
Qin Zifu nodded. Actually, she also felt it was a pity, but that's how fate works, there's nothing she can do about it.
"You still like him, don't you?"
"I do like him, but at this age, it doesn't seem to make much sense to say I like him. I'm so busy every day, do I have time to deal with all his messy problems like when we were dating?"
It seems she's so busy these days that she has to squeeze in time for dating, so she doesn't want to find someone to worry about. She just wants a simple and peaceful marriage, as long as the person she marries is easy for her and she doesn't dislike them.
"Miss Cheng's edges have actually been smoothed out by work."
"Haha, those words express a lot of helplessness and heartache."
"Will Ling Zhiyi come back later?"
"Who knows? Let's not worry about it. What's the plan later?"
"What other arrangements do you need? There's a pregnant woman in the picture, what arrangements can you possibly make?"
"...Speechless. You're making it sound like we're a burden."
No, we really don't have that.
Tang Shuyu waved her hand forcefully, saying that it was not appropriate to say that.
"Play some games?"
"Can Xingran play games?"
"Yes, it won't affect your fingers."
"He's a ruthless guy; he won't leave the front lines even with minor injuries."
Four people opened a room and then randomly matched with another player, making a total of five people in the game.
"Nuonuo, you should stay with Shuyu; she's good at support."
Qin Zifu had previously played support for Tang Shuyu. No matter what marksman Tang Shuyu played, the support would always be too busy. After a game of support, Qin Zifu was completely overwhelmed. From then on, whenever Tang Shuyu played marksman, Qin Zifu would never play support, because she couldn't stand the pressure.
"good"
Qin Zifu plays the mage class, which is easy to operate. She often sees a gaming influencer on Douyin (TikTok) who uses a series of skill incantations, which she finds particularly interesting.
I often say, "I'll use my second skill to control the enemy, then I'll use my ultimate and my first skill to finish them off!"
Ten minutes ago they were meek and submissive; ten minutes later they launched a powerful attack.
Qin Zifu was soon told by the person she was matched with that he was a top laner.
"Mid lane, roam, provide support, and the jungler too, the enemy jungler has already ganked once."
"Stop yelling, he's here. Pull him back a bit, if you trap him under the tower, what am I supposed to grab?"
Cheng Xingran went directly from the jungle to ambush them.
Undoubtedly, this attempt at coordination failed.
"They have absolutely no teamwork."
"What kind of chemistry do you expect between us? You stay under the tower and let us farm for a bit."
"Alright, alright, you guys go ahead, provide more support."
This game started off badly. The mage and marksman they chose were both late-game carry heroes, and the top laner got caught out again. It felt like the top laner's mentality collapsed!
After about ten minutes, Qin Zifu finally stood up and unleashed a combo that could instantly kill a squishy target.
"Master, you can finally kill someone instantly and keep them alive! I've been waiting forever!"
"Okay, please cooperate."
"Alright, here we come. I'll tank the damage. The mage controls the archer, so the archer can deal damage from behind. Don't be afraid."
"knew"
The team finally got into a rhythm; it was so hard-won. This game lasted for twenty minutes.
"Let's group up, we've succeeded!"
The four of them were not particularly skilled overall, but what was commendable was that they followed instructions and didn't cause any trouble, so they still won.
The man's voice came again.
"Playing games with four women must be exhausting!"
"Hey, that's sexism! Didn't you win?"
"Winning was not easy"
"That would be too easy, would it still be fun? Would we still play? If not, let's move on and find new matches."
"Let's play, let's play, let's begin!"
"What are you babbling about?"
"..."
"Shuyu, don't scare her, be gentle."
"Alright, I'll let you have your way."
"..."
The four of them didn't know this friend either, but the five of them played for more than two hours and even helped Qin Zifu advance to the next level.
"Okay, okay, that's enough playing around. Let's look at it."
"Okay, let's play again when we meet again."
"Hey, ladies, how about we add each other as friends?"
"You can add me as a game friend so we can play together later, kid."
"What do you mean, 'little kid'? You're a grown man, okay?"
"Excuse me, sir/madam, how old are you?"
"It's been more than two years."
"That's amazing, little one! We're logging off now, see you next time!"
After Tang Shuyu finished speaking, the four of them quit the game without even waiting for the boy on the other side to reply.
The doorbell rang.
"It should be Ling Zhiyi, right?"
"I'll open it, you guys stay put."
Su Nuo, who was sitting on the outermost side, got up to open the door. Sure enough, it was her; she had even brought a laptop and luggage…
