"Meimei, I suspect I've lost my mind."
Bright and beautiful: ?
Mingmei looked at Lu Xiaoyao in front of her speechlessly.
At noon, Mu Chen thoughtfully arranged for Lu Xiaoyao to come out and play, and in order to give himself some space to relax, he didn't ask her to come along.
As a result, upon meeting, Lu Xiaoyao not only didn't suggest where to go, but also seemed preoccupied and immediately said to me, "Are you out of your mind?"
Guan Jianming, who also had no one living there, blurted out, "You're only realizing this now?"
Lu Xiaoyao: "Huh? 0.0?"
Realizing she might have let something slip, Mingmei coughed twice and said, "Have you been under a lot of pressure and overthinking lately? We don't have classes this afternoon, are there any fun things to do on StarNet? Let's have some fun and relax, maybe that will help!"
"How about we go to the virtual shopping mall? We can shop and eat. I really don't want to play games anymore lately, they're too mentally taxing."
Mingmei could tell that Lu Xiaoyao wasn't as energetic as usual this afternoon, so she nodded in agreement with Lu Xiaoyao's suggestion.
After buying a bunch of things on the StarNet, Lu Xiaoyao took Mingmei to a private room in a virtual coffee shop with good privacy.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiaoyao started talking to herself about their initial topic, which was whether Lu Xiaoyao had a problem with her brain.
"I've already said it, maybe it's because of the academic pressure lately that you're feeling anxious? To be honest, are you losing hair?"
"No, not really, it's about the same as before... Uh! I'm not saying I'm stressed or anxious, it's true! I really feel like my memory is deteriorating rapidly lately..."
Lu Xiaoyao looked worried. "I played the game yesterday, and when I came out, I realized that I only remembered the first half of the game! I don't remember how I died or how I got out! And last night I was told to go see a psychologist overnight."
"You went there last night?"
Mingmei knew that the worse a student's mental state was, the faster they would be able to schedule an appointment with a psychologist after playing games.
Mingmei thought of Da Yao inside Lu Xiaoyao's body and wondered if Lu Xiaoyao's condition was really that serious.
She took a sip of her milk coffee without making a sound, and then asked, "What did the doctor say?"
He told me to go home and rest for a while, and that I could come back before the final exams to report back from leave.
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoyao became even more unhappy, crossing her arms and saying, "It's easy to say I'll have a holiday, but what if it affects my studies and makes me fail my final exams, or affects my stipend?"
"So, Xiaoyao, you really enjoy studying?"
Listening to Lu Xiaoyao talk about how it affects her studies and exams, Mingmei couldn't help but admire Lu Xiaoyao's high level of awareness!
Of course, it would have been better if she hadn't mentioned the last part about the impact on receiving subsidies.
"No, studying is bullshit! Holidays with homework and studying are all bullshit."
"If I go home for vacation and no one supervises me, I absolutely won't study. If no one supervises me, I definitely won't pass the final exam! Waaah, what should I do? I really need to go home and rest for a while, then I'm sure I'll fail the final exam!"
"Since you're afraid you won't study on your own initiative, why don't you just book a private tutor on StarNet and have them supervise your studies every day?"
"Is it really that devilish?" Lu Xiaoyao was so captivated by the bright sunshine that she forgot all about faking her tears.
"It's alright. I understand you want to relax during your vacation, but you should at least be able to squeeze out two hours a day to read, right? Besides, you're paying someone to supervise your studies, so you're the client."
Then, even if people are watching you study, they'll have to consider your own wishes, right? Your days of studying will definitely be more comfortable than at home!
Is that so?
After being lectured (and teased) by Mingmei, the two logged off from StarNet and went out to the cafeteria for dinner together.
Coincidentally, the two of them ran into Hu Yue and Bai Xiao while having dinner in the cafeteria, and the four of them sat down to eat together.
During this time, Lu Xiaoyao told everyone that she had decided to get a certificate from the mental health clinic the next day so she could go home and rest for a while.
"My God? Was your game yesterday really that scary?"
Bai Xiao accompanied Hu Yue to the mental health center this afternoon.
Hu Yue was indeed in a bad mood after playing the game yesterday, and her complexion was also unpleasant. She was also somewhat absent-minded during class this morning.
She originally thought Hu Yue's condition was already quite serious, but she didn't expect that Lu Xiaoyao's psychological trauma after leaving the game had reached a point where she needed to recuperate!
"What exactly happened to you after I died yesterday?"
Hu Yue frowned immediately upon hearing Lu Xiaoyao's plan.
Yesterday in the game, she and Julian were only separated for a short while when she was suddenly beheaded. In that instant, a huge sense of unease and fear welled up in her heart, and even after leaving the game, she still felt guilty and couldn't calm down.
The feeling of being ambushed and killed instantly, with absolutely no power to resist, is incredibly frustrating.
What happened to Lu Xiaoyao that made her want to go home temporarily?
"I don't know." Lu Xiaoyao shook her head, saying that she didn't remember anything that happened afterward. "Was it because I thought what happened later was too terrible that I was overstimulated?"
Sometimes, Lu Xiaoyao likes to stack buffs on herself. No one tells her what's coming next, but she always feels like she's been shocked by something really terrible.
