Chapter 47
Yan Qing was about to put the three bouquets of flowers away when Ming Xu stopped him: "Take a picture first."
"I just took the photo." Then he was about to open the photo album to show him.
Ming Xu held the phone and stared at Yan Qing: "Let's take a picture together."
Neither of them is a master at taking photos. If Yan Zheng saw their selfie, he would definitely complain: "What a mess!"
The photo was taken with Mingxu's phone. After taking the photo, he immediately changed his wallpaper. Yan Qing saw it and wanted to stop him: "Someone saw it."
He put on a stern face and hid his phone behind his back: "Am I too embarrassed to be seen?"
“But this photo is so weird.”
It turns out you don't want people to know about our relationship. Mingxu took out his phone again. Only their heads were visible on the screen, and the flowers were piled together. It really didn't look good. He thought for a moment and hesitated: "Do you want to take a new photo?"
Half an hour passed, and looking at the photos filling the album, Yan Qing felt deflated.
Mingxu felt good about himself: "I think it's pretty good."
It did look much better than the first one, but she was still a little reluctant to use it as her phone wallpaper.
Noticing Yan Qing's reluctance, Ming Xu's face darkened and his voice was full of grievance: "Do you think I don't look good in photos? I can learn." After saying that, he was about to pull Yan Qing's hand. Yan Qing was startled by the sudden action.
Seeing that she was somewhat resistant to physical contact, Ming Xu timidly withdrew his hand.
Yan Qing explained: "Too fast."
Ming Xu's mind was in a state of panic, and he was confused: "Then I will delete the photo."
After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. Looking at Yan Qing's colorful face, he felt a little helpless: "I didn't mean that. I meant."
"I know, you better stop talking."
"Um."
The two of them suddenly fell silent. Ming Xu stared at the flowers on the table and said, "How about I go back first and have dinner together tomorrow morning?"
"good."
After sending him to the door, Yan Qing hesitated to close it and said, "Let's go to South City tomorrow afternoon."
"good."
Ming Xu was about to leave when he was called again. He looked at Yan Qing expectantly, but unexpectedly she turned her body to the side, revealing the box inside.
After seeing Ming Xu off, Yan Qing turned around to enter the room and saw the flowers on the table. She walked over, looked at them carefully, and thought of what he had said, and the corners of her mouth raised inadvertently.
Zhou Mingshu looked at the words sent by Yan Qing, but she couldn't laugh. She curled up on the sofa, surrounded by various photos. The people in the photos no longer talked about their happiness all the time. Every time she saw them, those happy days were like a needle, which was not a weapon but worse than a weapon.
After a moment, she managed a smile.
[Zhou Mingshu]: Wow! It looks great. Did Brother Meigu buy it for you?
Yan Qing looked at the message and smiled shyly. Although there was no one else in the room, she was still embarrassed to show her happiness.
[Yan Qing]: Yes.
[Zhou Mingshu]: How come you don’t have any emotions at all?
[Yan Qing]: I’m sorry.
Zhou Mingshu immediately became alert and quietly sent a voice message: "Is Meiqiu brother at your place tonight?"
Hearing this, Yan Qing immediately covered her phone, but then realized she was alone, so she opened it again and lowered her voice: "What are you thinking about all day long? How could he be here with me? Don't talk nonsense."
The next second, Zhou Mingshu's video came.
Seeing her smirk, Yan Qing resisted the urge to hang up the video call: "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
The voice on the other end complained: "I'm so sad."
Zhou Mingshu looked at Yan Qing and sighed, "It's only been a few months, and everything has changed. During the years we didn't see each other, every day was like the honeymoon period. How come everything is different now that we meet?"
She really couldn't understand why the two of them, who were fine the day before, had a violent quarrel over a trivial matter and could never go back.
"If he was pretending from the beginning, why isn't he pretending now?"
Seeing her lowering her head and no longer talking, Yan Qing put a comfortable pillow under himself and planned to talk with her all night long.
Yan Qing: "Did you play the game after you came back? Did he say anything in the guild group?"
Zhou Mingshu shook her head: "I didn't check the group, and I wasn't in the mood to play the game." After saying that, she suddenly realized, "I'll go get a small account, maybe I'll find something."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Mingshu sat down in front of his computer. Looking at the computer that was almost covered in dust, he sighed: "We rarely play games after we met. I haven't even bought the latest designs."
Yan Qing didn't expect that she was still thinking about the appearance: "Go upstairs to collect it. I heard that the appearance is quite cheap now."
"Where did you hear that?"
"That's what the gang leader said. He buys at the original price every time and regrets it after doing so, but he never repents."
Zhou Mingshu complained: "I've gained weight by taking one tumble after another."
When the two talked about games, Zhou Mingshu's wrinkled face relaxed a lot.
In the game, a familiar person in her friend list had changed his name. She put her mouse over it, clicked it, and sighed, "They seem fine, but I'm the only one who can't get over it."
"In that case, you should find a few new friends."
"We're even in the same gang. Over the years, even our circle of friends and family has overlapped greatly. I don't have the energy to find new friends to play with anymore." After saying that, Zhou Mingshu suddenly thought of something. He stared at Yan Qing with a wicked smile on his face. "How about you come back and play with me?"
Rejected.
She was unwilling to give in. "Why? Maybe it will help your new article. Aren't esports articles very popular now?"
Yan Qing asked back, "Is our game considered eSports?"
Zhou Mingshu nodded: "Of course, it's not called the number one esports MMO for nothing."
"I'll think about it."
As the two were talking, Zhou Mingshu saw something and exclaimed, "They started arguing in the group."
A screenshot was sent.
Yan Qing saw the names on it, which were [Desk] and [Pink Lightning].
[Pink Lightning]: @Desk, please tone it down a bit. Don't think that everyone doesn't know about the bad things you do.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the group rushed out of the hive and started asking what was going on.
[Table]: What did I do? Don't spread rumors.
[Pink Lightning]: You are eating from your bowl and looking at what is in the pot. I won’t say it directly, but I will give you some face and stay away from my apprentice.
[Drink porridge first]: What are you talking about? If you have any conflicts, talk about it in private.
Yang Mingzhou was also confused. Aren't [Pink Lightning] and [Book Boy] relatives and friends? Why were her relatives and friends scolding her boyfriend?
Pink Lightning sat in front of the computer, seething with rage: "This bastard was still having affairs with other girls in the game when he met Shu Tong. I just can't stand this."
Her husband looked shocked: "They've been together for so many years?"
"Just because it's been a long time doesn't mean he won't cheat. If he hadn't found my apprentice this time, and my apprentice hadn't seen that we were in the same gang and asked me, I wouldn't have known about it. No, I have to go talk to the servant."
"Will she be angry if you do this?"
"What right does he have to be angry?"
"I'm talking about the [Book Boy]."
Zhou Mingshu felt his heartbeat quicken as he watched Pink Lightning's message. "It turns out he's been in contact with someone else all along, and I'm the only one who didn't know. If Lightning hadn't told me, I'd still be in the dark."
Yan Qing hurriedly comforted: "Stop the loss in time."
Suddenly, Zhou Mingshu's previous dejection disappeared. "I must not let him have an easy time. Even in the game, I must let everyone know his ugly face."
"What are you going to do?"
"818."
Zhou Mingshu was a man of action. He immediately found [Pink Lightning] and her apprentice and started collecting various evidences.
At 5 a.m., an explosive 818 was shared in the gang group.
[818, when you were bending over on the beach in the Maldives, did you promise her to bring back some shells?]
The next day was Friday, and everyone had to get up early for work. The group chat, which should have been lively, was now eerily quiet. Even the relatives and friends who had defended Fan Zhuoyi in the guild group at night were silent.
Mingxu also had to get up early to go to the company. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw someone privately messaging him on his phone.
When he entered the guild group, he saw the post. The poster was called [Shutong]. He didn't know when this happened. He wanted to send a message to Yan Qing but was afraid that she hadn't woken up yet.
Awakened by a knock on the door, Yan Qing rubbed his eyes and went to the door, only to see Ming Xu in formal attire: "Does your company require suits on Fridays?"
"Today is the staff meeting." After explaining, Mingxu took out his phone and showed her the message on it. "Did you know about this?"
Yan Qing struggled to open her eyes, stared at the words carefully, and nodded: "I only found out about it yesterday. She was writing it before going to bed. I didn't expect it to be posted so soon."
Ming Xu was relieved: "Then I'll go to work."
Yan Qing was startled after being woken up, then nodded: "Goodbye."
Seeing Mingxu still not leaving, she asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Do you want to go eat?"
Back in bed, Yan Qing planned to catch up on her sleep. After helping Zhou Mingshu organize various evidences, she also went to bed very late, but she did not wait until the post was published.
I closed my eyes and found that my sleepiness had slipped away, so I picked up my phone to check the trend of 818. Most people were watching, and there were also many familiar names speaking for Zhou Mingshu.
[I am Xigua]: Wow, it turns out the man cheated. No wonder they haven’t talked in the group since they came back from their trip.
——[112]：The owner of the layer will explain in detail.
A bunch of copies follow below.
[I am Xigua]: I have been in the gang for several years. The two of us have always been the model couple in the gang. I only found out a few months ago that we met for the first time this year. I was really envious at that time. They maintained their relationship for so many years through the game and were still so loving. Everyone was envious of them. I didn't expect that the game was just a fig leaf, and everything inside was rotten.
——[Maomao]: To be more specific, is it the man or the woman?
[I am Xigua]: Of course it is the man. Someone has already come out to prove that he was having an affair with other people in the game before he met the poster. You can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. The poster is really miserable.
With the revelation from the insider, the tone of the post completely changed, and everyone began to sympathize with the poster.
The gang group also kept discussing this matter, but Fan Zhuoyi never showed up.
Several of his relatives and friends also went from having firm trust in him to no longer refuting everyone's accusations and questions.
[Book Boy]: @Desk, if you have any objections, please feel free to raise them. I will fight you to the end. I have seen your disgusting face clearly, and the money I spent was blown away by the wind.
At this point, the posts are synchronized.
[I am Xigua]: Family! Breaking news! The male lead is a gigolo. He spends all the female lead's money and even betrays her. It's really too tragic. Let's all despise this shameless man.
No matter how much people in the group discussed, Fan Zhuoyi did not show up, and he did not even respond to private messages from his relatives and friends.
After a while, one person was missing from the gang group.
[Drink porridge first when something happens]: He left the group.
Yan Qing also saw the screenshot sent by Ming Xu. She didn't expect that Fan Zhuoyi didn't reply at all. It was really unlike his usual style.
After the person involved left, everyone thought that the matter would be over, but they didn't expect that Zhou Mingshu was not going to let him go so easily.
