Jiang Hua stood downstairs, staring blankly at Gu Yiming, feeling a warmth in her heart. No matter how much mud she had been smeared, in this person's heart he was innocent, pure, and innocent.
She lowered her head. She really hadn't expected Gu Yiming to deny it so readily. Although she didn't think of herself as someone who would be disliked, the memory of everything that had happened made her wonder if some of her actions in the game had indeed been offensive.
The air seemed to grow heavy along with Jiang Hua's lowered head. Gu Yiming inwardly knew something was wrong. If he didn't break the oppressive atmosphere quickly, Jiang Hua, whom he had finally managed to coax back to her former gloomy self, would revert to her sullen ways after a whole day.
"This was never your fault!"
Gu Yiming spoke firmly. He had already investigated everything. Jiangshan Ruhua was created by her, and it could be said that she built her empire in the game. Now that she was so angry that she disregarded her empire, it was clear that she had suffered a great injustice.
"What exactly happened? We only found out after logging into the game. Does this mean that Empress Di Ruhua, who once ruled over a beautiful land, is now too afraid to even log into the game?"
Jiang Hua subconsciously took a step back and shook her head violently.
She really didn't dare to log into the game anymore, and even personally disbanded the guild she had painstakingly built. Although there was an element of resentment involved, she genuinely wanted to say goodbye to the game.
She had deeply felt the malice brought by the virtual network. Although for the game it was just the loss of a player named Di Ruhua, but...
Gu Yiming did not let Jiang Hua's retreat and resistance go unchecked; instead, he took a step forward.
"Go play the game! I guarantee you won't be slandered anymore."
Jiang Hua bit her lower lip, making her look pitiful, which made Gu Yiming unable to resist having a slightly improper thought. He subconsciously softened his voice to comfort her, "Trust me, okay? If you don't play this game, then this game has no meaning for me."
Jiang Hua suddenly looked up and met Gu Yiming's serious eyes, and then her ears burned.
Was what he just said really what she understood to mean? A warm sense of satisfaction filled her heart.
Gu Yiming also caught sight of Jiang Hua's bright, emotional eyes, and could no longer suppress his impulse. He opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
Although Jiang Hua is 170 cm tall, she still looks so petite in his arms. Her slender figure makes Gu Yiming want to keep her in his arms forever.
Jiang Hua stiffened, but made no resistance; of course, she was too embarrassed to react. However, her earlobes, hidden by her hair, were burning red.
"Gu..."
Gu Yiming pressed his advantage, saying, "Then it's a date. See you in the game tonight."
Jiang Hua, feeling dizzy and disoriented, mumbled an "Mmm," and that was how the matter was settled.
Even as Jiang Hua sat in front of the computer that evening, she was still dizzy and disoriented, not knowing how she had drifted home. Every time she recalled that scene, her face would turn red with embarrassment.
She gently patted her face twice to calm herself down, then turned on her computer and opened the game's login window. She skillfully moved the mouse to the login button, but then paused.
The world's barrage of hurtful words echoed in her mind like a barrage of comments, and she had to admit she chickened out...
"Ding-dong."
Just then, her phone beeped. She picked it up casually and saw a message from Gu Yiming urging her to log on. This made her blush for a while, but she finally clicked the login button.
A bustling street came into view. This familiar street was still teeming with people, including NPCs and players.
Even though she hadn't been away from the game for long, she felt as if she had been transported to another world.
"Ding! Ding!"
Jiang Hua hadn't even settled in when a barrage of friend message notifications started coming in.
[Friend] Jiangjiangya: Huahua, you're back! That's great! I thought I'd never see you again! Wait, I'm coming to find you!
[Friend] Mo's Dad: Boss, you're finally back! How could you disband the gang while I was away? Who dared to speak ill of the boss? I'll unleash the divine beast to bite him! Don't move, I'm coming right now.
[Friend] Ji Ruyi: Boss! Come on, we're waiting for you. Let's rebuild Jiangshan Ruhua.
...
Jiang Hua suddenly realized that his hasty disbandment of the gang had indeed been too impulsive. These were some of the core members of his "Jiangshan Ruhua" gang, and he hadn't even considered them at all...
At this moment, Gu Yiming seemed to know her feelings and sent a message as well.
[Friend] Yi Gu: People in this world are very forgetful, and they're just bystanders; only a few are truly stirring things up. If you really just disappear like that, they'll be the ones who are heartbroken.
Jiang Hua felt a warmth in her heart, recalling the words she had blurted out that afternoon: if she stopped playing the game, it would lose its meaning.
This sentence solidified Jianghua's determination to relaunch...
[Friend] Me: Okay! I understand.
Jiang Hua secretly cheered herself up. Even if someone in the world brought up those old grievances again, she would continue playing the game even if it was for those people's sake.
How could Jiang Hua not be able to face such a setback! She's a vibrant and beautiful young woman!
A flash of white light streaked across the computer screen, and a dazzling display of fireworks exploded in the night sky above the main city. Gu was already standing beside her.
[World][System] Player Yi Gu used 99 romantic fireworks to congratulate the guild Jiangshan Ruhua on reaching new heights.
[World] Pressure: Is the landscape as beautiful as a painting? Is it the same landscape as I know...?
[World] Baby: Excellent! Excellent!
[World] Mo Bocang: Didn't Jiangshan Ruhua disband? But what exactly was the reason for the disbandment? I haven't played the game recently, can someone explain it to me?
[World] Mo's Dad: Ha, that doesn't exist.
[World] YaLiDa: Just watching the drama unfold. Anyway, congratulations! Di Ruhua was one of the top players in this region, it's a real shame she's gone.
...
Jiang Hua never expected the world to be so harmonious. Because those people knew she was online, there were now a bunch of censored asterisks in the world.
[Friend] Yi Gu: I was right, wasn't I? Such a picturesque landscape shouldn't just disappear like this.
[Friend] Me: I understand, thank you...
Jiang Huacai didn't believe that this person hadn't done anything!
