Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
After the day he confessed his feelings, Liao Kongmin stayed at home, unable to eat or sleep. He tossed and turned in bed, listening intently to the slightest noises coming from the other side of the wall.
"Refuse, don't refuse, refuse, don't refuse, refuse..."
Liao Kongmin casually picked the flowers from the flowerpot by the window, his care for the flowers completely gone, plucking the petals one by one. Upon closer inspection, he saw colorful petals scattered at his feet.
The flowerpot by the window looked forlorn, with only a few branches and withered green leaves remaining. Liao Kongmin looked lost, clutching the last petal in his hand, and said, "I refuse."
"A marriage preordained by fate?" Liao Kongmin looked down at the flower petals in his hand.
"No, it's all up to human effort." Liao Kongmin threw down the flower petals in his hand and stomped on the floor in a fit of rage.
After trampling the petals on the ground into a pulp, Liao Kongmin felt much better.
Sometimes, you have to let off steam; otherwise, holding it in for too long will harm your health.
Leaning against the window, I gazed at the boundless darkness of the night. Streetlights illuminated the way ahead, and a light drizzle fell, gently soaking the noisy world.
Liao Kongmin is 25 years old this year and has been playing online games for three years.
Three years ago, Liao Kongmin accidentally entered the game "Dragon's Roar" and inadvertently met the online gaming master "Luoshui Qingqing". At that time, Liao Kongmin was just a newbie in the online gaming world and admired the master "Luoshui Qingqing"'s superb skills.
Liking someone begins with getting to know them. Liao Kongmin uncontrollably focused on every little detail about "Luoshui Qingqing," like a madman, collecting all the information, photos, posters, news articles, and newspapers he could find about "Luoshui Qingqing."
As time passed, feelings changed and soured. Liao Kongmin's admiration, respect, and infatuation with "Luoshui Qingqing" subtly transformed into deep love.
Liao Kongmin was young and impetuous. Upon learning of his feelings for "Luoshui Qingqing," he immediately confessed his love in public. As expected, "Luoshui Qingqing" rejected her teammate, whom she had never met and had only exchanged a few words with.
Rejected after publicly confessing his love, "Luoshui Qingqing's" cold indifference hurt Liao Kongmin's sincere heart and his dignity as a man. Thinking that three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged women are plentiful, Liao Kongmin, driven by sour grapes, uninstalled the game and didn't log into "Dragon's Roar" for a month.
After time cooled his resentment, Liao Kongmin, like a good horse that wants to eat the grass it once grazed, discovered that "Luoshui Qingqing" had successfully completed the "Dragon's Roar" campaign, but the beauty had already left without a trace.
Years have passed since we last met, and everything has changed. If I were gone, and someone took advantage of the situation, then… Liao Kongmin panicked and mobilized all his resources and connections, finally finding “Luoshui Qingqing’s” address.
Taking advantage of his proximity, Liao Kongmin secretly moved next door to "Luoshui Qingqing," making them legitimate neighbors. Perhaps because "Luoshui Qingqing's" blunt rejection left a terrifying impression on Liao Kongmin, for more than two years, he never dared to visit or chat with her.
Liao Kongmin had thought he would grow old alone until a month ago, when an unexpected event suddenly occurred, and he finally made a breakthrough in the distance between himself and his goddess.
A handful of candy fell from the sky, and Liao Kongmin felt a sweet joy in his mouth and heart. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot; their relationship had grown much closer, and they couldn't let time cruelly destroy it, preventing them from remaining just strangers as neighbors for the rest of their lives.
"Luoshui Qingqing" was Liao Kongmin's first girlfriend, but he knew absolutely nothing about how to woo a goddess. In desperation, Liao Kongmin logged onto a dating forum and humbly sought advice from dating experts. With their careful guidance, Liao Kongmin mastered the four magic weapons for handsome men to woo goddesses: acting cute, acting handsome, acting pitiful, and being shameless.
As it turns out, the dating expert truly lives up to his reputation.
Liao Kongmin gazed at the scenery outside the window, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"She said she'd think about it, hehehe..."
After waiting for two days, Liao Kongmin's patience was almost exhausted. He tossed and turned, unable to sleep, constantly thinking about it. He was too embarrassed to go and ask for an answer, so he could only pace back and forth in the small room.
"I want to go out and take a look." Waiting around is just a waste of time, so it's good to go out and see what's going on.
Liao Kongmin opened the door and went out. Looking at the closed door, he felt a mix of emotions—a little sour, a little sweet, and a little bitter.
"Maybe Qingqing is already asleep. She'll come and tell me tomorrow morning." Liao Kongmin crossed his legs and said in a girlish voice, "Kongmin, I love you. I want to be your girlfriend, and I want to marry you in the future and be the biological mother of your child. Hahaha... That's great."
Fantasy can always bring unexpected joy.
Liao Kongmin walked to the front door of Ji Xiaoxiao's house, suspiciously sticking out his ear and pressing it tightly against the door. Listening intently, he heard strange noises coming from the other side of the door.
"Clang!" A sound of bowls and chopsticks falling and shattering echoed. Immediately afterward, the dining table collapsed with a crash.
"Something's happened," Liao Kongmin thought to himself.
Liao Kongmin placed his hand on the door, but quickly put it down. He hurriedly called the police before risking his life to attract the terrorists inside the room by himself.
...
Let's rewind to an hour earlier.
An hour ago, a light drizzle began to fall.
Ji Xiaoxiao neither cultivated nor logged into "Mixed-Blood Overlord" to fight bosses. Instead, she stood blankly by the window, gazing absently at the desolate night.
After Liao Kongmin confessed his feelings, Ji Xiaoxiao was restless and had no interest in doing her missions. She logged onto the interstellar network to browse around, only to find a post about her titled "Let's Talk About Player Luo Shui Wushuang's Happy Sexual Life." This post not only severely damaged her reputation but also exposed her home address.
