Gu Yiming handed her another cup of tea: "Then, can you still eat me?"
"No rush, we can eat it later!" Jiang Hua took the tea, took a sip, and her whole face seemed to scrunch up. "It's really bitter."
Gu Yiming rested his chin on his hand and laughed, "This is to get rid of the grease. After eating so many buns, drinking some light tea will help you get rid of the grease. Don't leave any, drink it all."
Jiang Hua pouted, looking pitiful: "Okay..."
Seeing that the cup of tea was completely empty, Gu Yiming took the cup with satisfaction: "Alright, what are your thoughts now?"
Jiang Hua pondered for a moment, then snapped her fingers: "Play games!"
Gu Yiming nodded: "Good idea, log in!"
Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming logged into the game. The two of them enjoyed the scenery, gathered herbs, fished, and rowed a boat. Suddenly, Jiang Hua thought of something, hesitated for a long time, and slowly said, "It's like this, I guess I'll be starting my internship at Yifeng Group tomorrow."
After listening for a long time, Gu Yiming finally replied with an "Oh".
Jiang Hua glanced at Gu Yiming: "Don't you have anything to say?"
Gu Yiming actually wanted to say, "If I don't let you go, what will Jiang Hua do if she finds out that the general manager of Yifeng Group is Yi Yong, that frivolous bookworm?"
This is really troublesome.
"I'll take you there tomorrow, and I'll pick you up after get off work."
Jiang Hua looked at Gu Yiming for a long time before nodding: "Okay."
The two are currently in the game, in Cangzhou. For some reason, Jiang Hua suddenly wants to do something bad.
This game offers a high degree of freedom. If a player keeps killing, stealing, or bumping into NPCs, once their crime level reaches a certain point, the authorities will send people to arrest the player and imprison them.
Jiang Hua stole fruit from a fruit vendor who was an NPC on the street, bumped into many passersby, and then killed several NPCs.
With her sin value reaching one hundred, Jiang Hua went to the Jingzhao Prefecture herself, and sure enough, a short while later, it showed that Jiang Hua had been arrested and imprisoned.
Jiang Hua turned her head and looked at Gu Yiming: "I've been arrested."
"Oh?" Gu Yiming didn't turn his head and asked directly, "How long will you be locked up?"
Jiang Hua wore a bitter face: "One hour..."
"Then keep him locked up, it won't be long."
Of course it wasn't long. Gu Yiming was locked up for a whole day back then!
Jiang Hua pouted: "You're not going to save me!"
Gu Yiming turned to look at her: "Who told you to do something bad? Now that you're in jail, who can you blame?"
Jiang Hua stared pitifully at Gu Yiming with her big, bright black eyes: "You're not going to save me..."
Gu Yiming couldn't take it anymore and immediately opened the dungeon: "Okay, I'll go."
Jiang Hua's lips slowly curled up as she hummed a little tune, watching Gu Yiming kill alone in the prison, and then she revealed a triumphant smile.
Jiang Hua looked around and realized that the scenery was no longer the prison, and she was quite pleased with herself. Gu Yiming glanced at her and said disdainfully, "Tch, you actually managed to get caught and thrown into the prison."
Jiang Hua glanced at him: "What do you know! Those are experts from the Ministry of Justice!"
Gu Yiming pursed his lips: "I'm an expert too."
"I can't be bothered to argue with you."
Jiang Hua continued playing the game when she suddenly saw the dungeon NPC. Remembering the top-ranked boss that she, Gu Yiming, and Tang Xi had fought before—Feng Song—she immediately called out to Gu Yiming, "Hey, do you still remember that top-ranked boss we fought last time?"
Gu Yiming nodded irritably: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Jiang Hua smiled and said, "How about we go and fight again?"
Seeing Jiang Hua's eager expression, Gu Yiming smirked, "I can consider it."
Jiang Hua patted him on the shoulder: "What are you thinking about? Just go."
Gu Yiming was still looking at Jiang Hua, who continued to tempt him: "Think about it, the first couple in the entire game to complete a dungeon together, don't you yearn for that?"
Looking at Jiang Hua's starry-eyed expression, Gu Yiming uttered two words indifferently: "I don't want to."
Jiang Hua pouted and snorted coldly: "Then I'll consider the requirements of the frivolous bookworm."
Sure enough, the name "Flirtatious Bookworm" was Gu Yiming's weakness. Gu Yiming immediately opened the dungeon: "Enough with the nonsense, I'll add you to the team and we'll do the dungeon."
Jiang Hua nodded: "Okay, okay!"
With the experience from last time, and with Gu Yiming and Jiang Hua both having incredibly fast hands, they cleared the earlier mobs in just eight minutes. They still had twenty-two minutes left, which should be enough time to fight the final boss, Feng Song.
The two meditated to recover their health, changed the gems on their equipment, and then waited in place for the boss, Wind Song, to appear.
It was the same scene from the first time: a young man in white, aloof and noble, with his eyes lowered, plucking the strings of his zither.
"Have you all come to visit this useless person as well?"
Without further ado, skipping the plot, Jiang Hua and Gu Yiming split up and began their separate actions.
Jiang Hua was responsible for attracting the boss's attention, while Gu Yiming stunned the boss from the side. Then, Jiang Hua seized the opportunity to attack the boss's weak point—its eyes.
This time, without Tang Xi's help, the fight was a bit more difficult, and she used a lot of Resurrection Pills, just not as many as last time. When the boss was down to half health, Jiang Hua thought it was almost dead. But then… the screen changed… and when the surrounding scenery returned to its familiar landscape, Jiang Hua knew she hadn't cleared the level again.
"Ah... how could this happen?" Jiang Hua slumped onto the table, utterly dejected.
Gu Yiming remained calm, took a sip of water, and said softly, "It's time for the dungeon to start."
"Hmm..." Jiang Hua sighed.
Gu Yiming ruffled Jiang Hua's hair and comforted her, "This time we only used five Resurrection Pills, and we didn't even have Tang Xi's help. I believe we'll clear the level next time."
After hearing Gu Yiming's words, Jiang Hua nodded: "Mm."
Gu Yiming checked the time; it was already past ten o'clock. He then turned off the computer and said, "Let's go out and buy some ingredients for lunch."
Jiang Hua also turned off her computer and excitedly said, "I want to eat salmon!"
Gu Yiming smiled indulgently: "Okay, anything you want to eat is fine."
After changing their clothes, the two went out.
The weather was nice, but a bit hot. Gu Yiming noticed that Jiang Hua kept licking her lips, so he went to the nearby ice cream shop and bought her a glass of lemonade. Jiang Hua took a big gulp and felt much cooler.
Suddenly a girl appeared, with her hair down, held in place only by a hairband, and wearing a white dress.
"Yi Ming?"
Upon seeing Gu Yiming, the girl's eyes immediately lit up, and she was about to come over.
Gu Yiming heard someone calling him and turned around. After seeing the woman's face clearly, he said in surprise, "An Li?"
Then he looked down at Jiang Hua and said, "Wait for me from here."
Jiang Hua nodded and drank her lemonade.
"How did I run into you here?" An Li covered her mouth and laughed, while casually glancing at Jiang Hua.
