Chi Nuo felt much better after crying, and explained through sobs, "At first, I was thinking that none of you would play with me, so I just randomly picked someone to play with."
"It all started as a case of 'no fight, no friendship,' I never expected him to think of me this way, and I never expected him to think of you all this way."
Chi Nuo still really liked having someone with her, and she took the initiative to call out to them. Unexpectedly, she turned into a simp, feeling sorry for the other person's vulnerability, which also became part of her identity as a simp.
“I wish I were a real simp,” she said, her voice breaking again. “I just wanted to practice alone. I think it looks so cool to fight like that. I wanted to do something on my own, to do something.”
"I've never even experienced ambiguity, so why am I considered a simp? I get beaten up every day when I log on. Why would I even play PVP if it weren't for some worthless achievement?"
"Now that I've been dragged into this mess, I've even been given a new identity." Chi Nuo wasn't aggrieved anymore; instead, a surge of anger welled up inside her.
Thinking things through is always a slow process. Only by gradually realizing one's own correctness can one react effectively and have the confidence to respond.
It turns out she wasn't the one who was wrong.
It turns out the mistake wasn't her fault; it's not about what others say or what they want.
Ji Shu reassured him, saying, "I'll have someone upload that event for you tomorrow. Don't worry, just go about your business."
"Delete or cut ties with people who need to be deleted."
Wen Zhuyao, having obtained all the latest information, continued to give her confidence: "It's okay to get entangled, once the melon strip is released, it will become famous for avoiding thunder."
Saying they'll debut isn't just talk.
"If he keeps bothering me, I'll just leave it at that. If he stops bothering me, I don't want to make a big fuss." Chi Nuo still didn't want to go too far; she wanted to part ways amicably.
Ji Shu checked the time and her condition, and felt it was about time, so she said, "If there are any questions or problems afterward, you can post them in the group."
"I know, you guys go and rest first, we'll make another appointment another day." Chi Nuo cheered up, knowing it was too late, and decided to stop there for now.
Wen Zhuyao shut down her computer and saw that it was 1 a.m. She thought for a moment and then knocked on her door, asking, "Are you hungry? Want to grab a midnight snack?"
There was no sound from inside the house. She stood at the door with her head down, reaching out to knock again, but then stopped.
Wen Zhuyao pursed her lips, unsure whether it was better to turn around and leave, giving her space to think, or to continue asking questions, allowing herself to play a role here and have a warm companion.
Just as she was about to turn around, the door opened.
"Let's have hot pot, or barbecue." Chi Nuo's eyes were red as she walked out, smacking her lips as she spoke of delicious food.
Wen Zhuyao responded, looked at her phone, sat down on the single sofa, and looked for a takeout restaurant that was still open.
"Do you still have the wine we drank together last time?" Chi Nuo walked over and sat down leisurely, her sobs subsiding considerably. She casually picked up a small bear and hugged it.
Wen Zhuyao prioritized her own feelings above all else, so she didn't mind being a little smug. "It's still here, chilled to room temperature?"
"The alcohol content isn't high, and they're all pretty good-tasting. We still have four or five bottles left from last time." She turned and went to the small refrigerator in the kitchen where drinks are stored, and took them out.
Chi Nuo hugged the teddy bear, but didn't indulge herself for long: "Drink something ice-cold."
"Okay." Wen Zhuyao took the food and placed it on the coffee table, quietly waiting for the delivery to arrive. She also grabbed two glasses and poured some ice into them.
This makes it taste better.
Chi Nuo took a sip; it was sweet and tasted like peach. "Zhu Zhu, do you think I'm stupid?"
"No, why would I think there's a problem?" Wen Zhuyao was still struggling with whether to order fried chicken or barbecue for takeout at this time.
They also said that some snacks should be available.
Chi Nuo didn't believe her words and said in a muffled voice, "I knew you'd only say nice things. You have a lot of wishful thinking about me."
"No, in my opinion, you're just an innocent victim. What's with the stupidity?"
She scrolled through the food delivery search and still thought it would be better to buy everything. She was a little tempted: "Do you want some grilled chicken wings? I think grilled squid and tofu casserole are pretty good too."
"Oh, right, and of course, my crayfish. They're peeled and in the fridge. I'll heat them up, what do you think?" Wen Zhuyao looked up at her, then turned away from her phone.
Chi Nuo felt like she was being excluded, so she emphasized again, "I think you're biased..."
"No filters, I know you ate it all, don't worry. Don't be so hard on yourself, don't feel like the sky is falling over such a small thing or such a petty person." Wen Zhuyao didn't take her words to heart, she would get over this emotion soon.
No one can fully adjust themselves immediately. They are much more warm-hearted and considerate, but when they look back, they feel they have let others down.
It's better to just chat casually and not take anyone seriously.
If you care, speak up; if you speak up, listen; if you want a response, you'll get it. Once you've said it, it's over. A new day won't be so bad if you leave behind the unpleasant things.
Chi Nuo seemed to be gradually being led astray; now she was completely focused on why Wen Zhuyao was ignoring her!
"You seem to be ignoring me. What are you looking at?" She couldn't help but lean closer and saw the food delivery order interface.
Just then, as she walked over, Wen Zhuyao swiped away a piece of gluten. She immediately snatched the phone away and said unhappily, "The gluten is so flavorful, how could you not order it?"
"I'll order. I know exactly what's good and what's classic here." Chi Nuo then carefully looked through the dishes, giving instructions as she went.
Chi Nuo: "You can heat it up now, let's eat a little bit first."
"Okay." Seeing that she was alright for the time being, Wen Zhuyao got up to heat up some food and took out the shrimp paste from the refrigerator to make a simple shrimp cake.
I made a slightly spicy sauce.
As she carried the food out, Chi Nuo just put down her phone and looked up haughtily: "I've arranged everything, including desserts and snacks."
"Don't worry, I've already transferred the money to you. Tonight's meal is on me, let's drink until we drop!"
Wen Zhuyao put the things on the coffee table, distrustful: "Your alcohol tolerance is probably not as good as mine, you'd better be more sober."
"I...maybe, but I'm not just talking nonsense."
Chi Nuo put on gloves, her mouth stuffed full, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "This is delicious!"
"I know, I know, slow down." Wen Zhuyao sat down next to her, and they had a quick round of drinks. She didn't say much, but she drank quite a bit.
I rested for a while when the food delivery arrived.
Chi Nuo looked up at the moon outside the window with a profound expression and said, "I made the right decision to look for you, otherwise I would be crying secretly right now without being discovered."
"The buildup was too much. After hearing a lot of tragic stories, I thought I was a savior."
Wen Zhuyao shook her head and said, "You are your own savior. What if this isn't a friendship, but a romantic relationship?"
These words gradually reached Chi Nuo's ears. She turned her head and stared at Wen Zhuyao curiously, waiting for what she would say next.
"In that sense, you did a great job saving yourself and avoided something more serious and dangerous."
Wen Zhuyao clapped her hands: "You're going to get a reward!"
"Is that so?" Chi Nuo seemed to have completely calmed down here. So she had done so much in silence.
Never mind...
Chi Nuo couldn't resist any longer and started unpacking: "This smells so good, it's practically wafting into my nose, it's provoking me."
"Then let's eat them all." Wen Zhuyao helped, and the aroma immediately filled the entire room.
Chi Nuo raised his glass: "Cheers!"
"Cheers." Wen Zhuyao clinked glasses against each other, the glass clinking together crisply.
This created a faint, yellowish, flickering, and easily overlooked light in the darkness, which will exist here forever, sealed here forever.
Until the next crisp sound rang out.
It can be used to create a different scenario.
This resulted in Wen Zhuyao, who boasted about his high alcohol tolerance, getting drunk, while Chi Nuo ate heartily without any problems.
Finally, Wen Zhuyao couldn't hold on any longer and got up to say goodbye. She went to her room to get her clothes and said, "I can't hold on anymore, I've drunk too much, I'm going to sleep now."
"Okay, okay." Chi Nuo was still eating, watching TV as she ate. Hearing this, she took out a tissue to wipe her hands, found the TV remote, and turned the TV volume down.
After washing up, Wen Zhuyao lay down on the bed. Her hair wasn't dripping wet, but it was still damp. She scrolled through her phone on the bed.
My hand unconsciously went to Mo Wen's profile picture frame, clicked it, and was redirected to the chat interface, but there were no new chat messages.
Wen Zhuyao didn't know what was wrong with her; she was unhappy and couldn't stop feeling confused.
Mo Wen, who had fallen asleep while waiting for the message, was unexpectedly woken up by the video call. He glanced at the time in a daze; it was three in the morning.
Then I answered the phone.
Then she heard Wen Zhuyao's fierce voice. She pointed at Mo Wen in the video and said, "Don't talk."
Mo Wen hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I..."
After he answered the call, he saw that the person on the other end was clearly drunk, staring at him expectantly, and he had no idea how much they had drunk.
"No talking." This time, Wen Zhuyao was not only fierce, but also brought her face very close.
She frowned, staring at the person on the screen, and questioned, "Why aren't you asleep at this hour? Are you staying up all night? You're disobedient, you're a bad baby."
"I was asleep, I'm not a bad baby." What else could Mo Wen say? At this moment, he could only deny it.
“You’re awake now, you’re talking to me now, you’re not asleep.” Wen Zhuyao stared at the person on the screen, as if she was impressed by her own intelligence.
How could someone possibly wake up and answer the phone while asleep?
Mo Wen simply sat up, reached out and turned on the bedside nightlight, then lay on the bed and focused intently on watching her.
"Okay, I'm the bad guy. And you, you weren't sleeping either." He reached out and tapped Wen Zhuyao's forehead, letting out a soft hum.
Wen Zhuyao thought for a moment, then stubbornly said, "I'm a good baby. A good baby can sleep whenever he wants. You can't blame me."
"Okay, I don't blame you. How's the baby sleeping now?" Mo Wen wanted to continue to admire this side of him that he had never seen before.
But time is a worrying factor.
Wen Zhuyao thought for a moment, then tossed her phone aside, her voice heard but her face unseen: "Okay, I'm going to sleep now."
Goodnight.
Mo Wen stared at the black screen for a while, then hung up the phone.
While Chi Nuo was enjoying a delicious meal on TV outside, she was also approached by someone, and her phone kept ringing.
Chi Nuo stopped, picked it up and glanced at it. The note read: Changfeng.
"You smart bastard."
She rejected the message and blocked the number, then turned back to the TV to continue watching: "Disturbing people in the middle of the night, does she think she's so precious?"
