Chapter 222
After returning from the mall, Xia Yueyue threw her shopping haul onto the sofa and kicked her high heels aside. Her originally simply decorated apartment was now piled high with takeout trash and dirty clothes.
"Brother, I'm home. I'm so tired after shopping all day." Xia Yueyue sent a voice message to the people she had pinned to the top of her WeChat Moments, and then posted a few beautiful selfies on her Moments.
The caption reads: Shopping is so tiring!
Within minutes, many men were offering their concern and care.
Fishpond No. 38: "Ningning, you've worked hard. I'll order you some takeout."
Fishpond No. 90: "Ningning looks so beautiful today."
Fishpond No. 95: "I'll reimburse you."
...
Xia Yueyue was still flirting with the top-ranked male friend she had been following when a message popped up in the class group chat on her phone screen:
"Classmates, it seems that Duan Shen is in the hospital!!"
"ah?"
There was a gasp of surprise, and everyone quickly asked what had happened.
Those who knew the inside story immediately spoke up:
"I heard it from a friend in the finance department. They said that the auditorium where their department held a competition caught fire a couple of days ago, and Duan Shen happened to be there."
"Huh? How could this happen?"
"Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"
......
The group chat was buzzing with discussion, but Xia Yueyue had no interest in reading it anymore. Instead, she asked the classmate who spread the message about the hospital where Duan Shen was, and then rushed over there.
When Xia Yueyue arrived at the ward, she saw a man whose upper body was wrapped in gauze and who did not seem to be awake yet.
"Duan Shen..."
Duan Shen was still in a semi-conscious state, but after hearing the voice calling him, he realized that a familiar figure had appeared in his sight. He immediately grabbed the person's hand, afraid of being separated again.
Xia Yueyue blushed instantly and cautiously moved closer to Duan Shen.
This was the first time Duan Shen had ever held his hand.
It was the first time the two had been intimate.
Just then, someone knocked on the door and entered. The doctor, holding the medical record, saw Xia Yueyue in the ward, his gaze falling on the two holding hands, and asked with some surprise:
Are you a relative of Duan Shen?
Xia Yueyue nodded repeatedly, surprisingly agreeing immediately: "Yes..."
"I... am his girlfriend."

Fairy-one's official Weibo account posted a message at 8 PM tonight:
#fairyoneprofessional league#, the first fairyone professional esports tournament in 2xx3 will kick off at the Suzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center. Players can get a sneak peek at the visual images of the event.
Join us as we turn our attention to Suzhou, enjoy the matches with our sponsors, and witness the team that wins the Fairy-One King Cup for the first time!
Below is a list of accounts selected for this Fairnd competition. Take a look and see if you recognize any of the IDs.
......
This Weibo post instantly went viral.
"It's being done in Suzhou?! It's like my city is under quarantine."
"Wow... Future Technology is really impressive, hosting the event at the Suzhou International Center."
"There are 50 accounts in total, which means all the top ten teams from the Demon Festival have made it?"
"An account is an account, but I heard that the teams of the top guilds have almost all been replaced. The Fallen God Guild poached the number one swordsman, Chasing Wind."
"Isn't Chasing the Wind a small guild?"
"Yes, but that doesn't stop him from being the 16th ranked swordsman on the top 100 list. His guild didn't make the list, so the Fallen God Guild let him take over their team's account."
"The person upstairs is right, it just means that the Bone Extermination Team hasn't changed account holders."
"The Bone Destroyer Guild really doesn't need to poach anyone..."
"After all, at least 30 of the IDs on the top 100 players list are members of the Extinction Bone Guild."
"But didn't some random teams go in this time?"
"Yes, yes, the second place winner, the team captain is Migeno."
"Can people without a guild get in?"
"You don't know this, do you? Random teams can be quite strong. I've seen their team IDs, and they are indeed very strong overall."
"Moreover, their team's Yuuyu deals a lot of damage. A newbie account directly climbed to 21st place on the top 100 list."
"21?! That's almost as fast as Chasing the Wind."
"Catch up with Chasing Wind? Are you kidding me? Chasing Wind is Fairnd's number one swordsman."
"I'm so excited for this competition! When will tickets go on sale?!"
"+1, I'm so happy that the game is being held right here in my hometown!"
......
Yingning hasn't logged into the game for the past few days, but her name has been frequently mentioned in Fairnd's discussion group.
Qingtian: "Xiaoyou said that he will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. We can practice our teamwork when he comes back."
Qingtian: "This child is so pitiful, to be caught in a fire."
Qingtian: "Without him, we couldn't even compete with the guild members in the last monster hunt."
Zero: "Your skill missed."
Red Moon Spirit: "Indeed, it didn't hit me; the Great Healing Spell hit the rock directly."
Qingtian: "It was a mistake! It was a mistake!! Don't bring up my embarrassing moments again."
Zero: "But the captain hasn't been online much these past few days."
Hong Yueling: "Last time I saw him fighting monsters in the jungle, I invited him to team up to fight the new map boss, but he said he had something to do and logged off in a little while."
Qingtian: "I can understand Xiaoyouyou, but what's wrong with Yege?"
Qingtian: "I always feel like he hasn't been that enthusiastic about games lately."

Pfft.
The sound of metal hitting one's body.
The auto repair shop, which had been forcibly closed by a few thugs, was in complete disarray. A steel rod struck Yuan Ye directly in the waist, causing him to drop his phone in pain to call the police.
"Brother Meng said he'll take over your debt."
“Your dad mortgaged the house back then, and you still owe Meng Ge more than 500,000 yuan. You have to pay it all back today.”
Yuan Ye clutched the wound in his waist, suppressing his anger:
"We agreed at the time that we could repay in installments."
"Damn, that's because Meng Ge's dad is easy to talk to. Now that Meng Ge is in charge, you have to pay back all 500,000 yuan by Sunday, or you can get out of that house."
The gang leader pulled up a stool and sat down on it in a nonchalant manner.
“Yuanye, I’m warning you, your dad owes money in black and white, and that’s legally binding.”
"In black and white?"
Covered in dust, he casually wiped a few drops of blood from his forehead and spoke again:
"Oh."
Do you think I don't know how a few hundred thousand yuan can grow into 600,000 yuan?
These people made his gambler father sign loan agreements again and again, and when he couldn't repay them, they would recommend another type of high-interest loan.
By robbing Peter to pay Paul, the debt has multiplied several times over the years.
The thug dismissed Yuan Ye's accusations. He got up, kicked the chair aside, walked to Yuan Ye's side, and insultingly slapped his face, saying:
"Yuanye, instead of trying to talk your way out of this, you should just sell your old house."
"Don't wait until Sunday to come and take your house."
This group arrived in a grand procession, but left behind a mess when they left.
The man, lying limply on the cold metal garage floor, endured the pain all over his body without making a sound. After a long while, he finally picked up his phone.
I sent a few messages to the person in my phone who is referred to as "Mr. You":
"Hello, I've thought it through."
"I can sell you the account."
