Yu Ruohe's eyelids drooped. She seemed to feel that a sad and thick barrier was gradually forming between her and her father and mother, and she couldn't figure it out at all.
In the past, this barrier was not obvious, at most it was just a generation gap between two generations, but now, the gap has been widening, and all ideological clashes have been infinitely magnified.
She already had nothing to say.
"Ruohe, don't you know the latest news?" The mother's words came, and they were earnest: "Iris of Yu Country failed in the fifth world copy - this is just the fifth copy... Ruohe, there is still a long time to go, and you put all your hopes on a child who has just grown up, and expect him to win all the time. It's not rational at all. Mom knows that because of your contact with him in the first world, you trust him very much - but didn't you see what was said on the forum? Everyone said that you wanted to stick to him, and thought you were selfish and incompetent. But mom knows that our daughter is not such a person at all..."
Yu Ruohe clenched her fists tightly. She blinked her eyes and felt a little tearful.
"Mom's words were a bit harsh, but it's absolutely no good for us to be associated with this kind of person... He is indeed very powerful, but we are just ordinary people..." The mother sighed: "He is the top player, he is not so petty, he won't blame you, tell me your number and listen to mom, okay?"
A few sounds of breathing were heard, which seemed muffled through the screen. Yu Ruohe knew that her father had started smoking again.
She was born when her mother was older. Now her parents are nearly 60 years old. Her father has always loved smoking and his lungs have been damaged. The couple has been to the hospital many times, and the house is always filled with smoke.
Every time this happened, my mother would always shed tears looking at the calendar. She said that they were so old, and if they had passed away early and didn’t see Yu Ruohe get married, she really didn’t know what she would do if she was left alone in the world.
In order to take care of his daughter for a longer period of time, the father, a heavy smoker, finally quit smoking and forced himself to exercise every day, which helped his physical condition improve slightly.
Then, the world game begins.
The parents, who are nearing old age, suddenly become radiant and look youthful again.
My father, who had regained his strong body, started smoking again.
My father always said that it would be great if those higher-dimensional beings had no bad intentions and could make him decades younger.
My father said that it would be even better if the old man Wang and the old lady Li, the neighbors who played chess with him, could be selected and become young together.
The father also said that if his daughter could find someone she loved within this year, come out of the shadows, marry into a good family, and give birth to grandchildren for him to hug, then he would be able to rest in peace even if he died now.
Yu Ruohe was also very happy. She bought a small western-style building with a garden for her parents in the main god space, and the family enjoyed a life they had never had before on Zhai Star. They no longer had to live in that tight square house and haggle over a little money for food. Instead, they could grow flowers and plants to their heart's content and live a life that they used to envy of the rich and powerful - this was a happy experience that they had never had before.
She originally thought that she was right, and that sticking to Su Mingan and holding on to his thighs would allow her to have a smooth journey and gain many points. Even if he despised her, she could still care about him because she was a very lucky person who knew him from the beginning.
But now, everyone is telling her that she is wrong.
Even if there is no one around him anymore, she shouldn't be the one who stays by his side, because of stability, because of safety... because of her parents.
She should betray his trust, and then hide in the main god space and witness his failure peacefully.
She should let everyone see that a first player who is separated from the group has no value.
She should give up her number.
She should delete this first friend and disappear from his life.
She should step forward, hold out her hands,
——And then push this person into a deeper abyss.
She listened to the breathing sounds on the other side of the screen, and then stared at the coffee on the table.
There was a violent vortex there, as if there was a black hole dragging people down, revealing a sense of hysteria and despair.
She saw her own reflection in it.
It was as if she was trapped in this white porcelain cup. The swirling coffee surface was surging, pulling her in and drowning her.
"Why not? I'm not overthinking it. In fact, we have to believe in the power of the United Group. Maybe the United Group really wants to cooperate with the No. 1 Player? Don't think too much. Just tell me the serial number..."
"I see."
Yu Ruohe suddenly spoke.
"...What, what?" The mother's ecstatic voice came from the other side: "You agreed?"
"...I understand." Yu Ruohe repeated in a short voice, and her increasingly heavy breathing was mixed between the lines. She stared at the surface of the coffee cup and suddenly curled the corners of her mouth with a smile.
"I see."
She repeated it again, her voice hoarse, like a drowning person struggling on the surface of a lake.
"If so, then tell me your number quickly, and then we can meet as a family." The mother continued to nag, "You were right not to choose your fate in the fifth world. Everyone says that this world is not normal... It just so happens that you have nothing to do now, so come over and have a meal with us. The family in the house next door also wants to meet you..."
