Chapter 201 They Started Arguing
Ji Wanqing naturally understood the meaning behind Qingye's words, but since he wasn't as aggressive as the finish line, Ji Wanqing pretended not to know, lest she cause another storm.
She smiled at the camera and said, "Thank you all for your concern. Let's move on to the next round. How about we play a speedrun?"
She naturally steered the conversation towards games, and the wealthy woman quickly chimed in, "What is speedrun mode?"
"Everyone jump to the same spot, and the fight starts as soon as you land!" Ji Wanqing explained to them.
"This is great! Simple and straightforward, perfect for relaxing!" Starlight was the first to respond, eager to forget his miserable experience just now.
"Yes." Lonely Island replied succinctly, his tone regaining its usual gentle and calm, as if the turmoil had never occurred.
The finish line gave a lazy chuckle, which could be considered an admission, but there was still a hint of something elusive in its tone.
Kiyono gave a faint "hmm" and said no more.
Ji Wanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She selected a map and chose a training base with abundant resources and complex terrain as her landing point.
The next few games were incredibly fast-paced.
Without those bizarre restrictions, everyone's top-notch abilities were fully utilized.
Training bases, Picado, mansions... every parachute jump was like dropping dumplings into boiling water, and the gunfire never stopped from the moment we landed.
Ji Wanqing was completely engrossed in the intense gunfight, temporarily putting aside her chaotic thoughts.
[Awesome! This is real gunfight!]
[The way these top players fight without holding back is terrifying!]
My wife went on a killing spree today!
The exhilarating battle dispelled the previous awkwardness, and the atmosphere in the live stream became lively again.
They played three or four games in quick succession, experiencing the joy of a quick win and the frustration of being eliminated immediately after landing.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ji Wanqing said in a light but tired tone after another game.
"Alright, everyone, that's all for today's live stream! I had a lot of fun, thank you all for joining me and for the gifts!"
She paused, then a bright and sincere smile spread across her face.
"Whether it's fighting side-by-side in the game or the care and support in everyday life, I'm very grateful. Goodnight everyone, see you next time!"
Without giving the topic any time to develop further, she decisively waved her hand and ended the live stream.
The moment the screen went dark, Ji Wanqing's professional smile faded slightly, and she let out a long sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the network, several men also shut down their computers, but their thoughts were probably far more complicated than the tranquility of the night.
A simple, wealthy woman: [Why is the finish line so scary? What happened?]
Not long after the live stream ended, the wealthy woman sent me an inquiry.
Ji Wanqing stared at the message, remained silent for more than ten seconds, and then slowly typed.
She briefly explained the situation at the finish line and the island to her.
A simple and unpretentious rich woman: [Ugh, I really feel sorry for you. Luckily, the island has a better temper.]
Ji Wanqing looked at the message from the wealthy woman, rubbed her temples with a wry smile. Her fingertips paused on the screen for a moment before she slowly typed a reply.
Sunny Day Tuan Tuan: [Who says otherwise? The guy at the finish line... I feel he's a bit obsessive. I never expected him to ask that in front of so many people.]
A simple, unpretentious rich woman [This isn't just obsessive, sister, this is downright yandere! Judging from his tone at the end, he clearly wasn't planning on finishing.]
The unassuming rich woman [It's amazing how tolerant he is; if it were me, I would have definitely argued with him.]
Sunny Day Tuan Tuan: [That's just how Big Brother on the Lonely Island is—calm and easygoing, not one to hold grudges. That only makes me feel worse; I dragged him into this for no reason.]
Ji Wanqing sighed, her mind in turmoil.
Being placed in the eye of the storm is hardly a pleasant feeling.
The unassuming rich woman: [What are you embarrassed about? If you ask me, the island would be more than happy to oblige! But honey, you need to be discerning. These two are like fire and water, neither of them are easy to deal with. Be careful at the finish line; I have a feeling he won't give up so easily.]
Sunny Tuantuan: [I know, let's take it one step at a time. Right now, I just want to focus on my livestream and take good care of my mom. Relationships... are too complicated, I don't want to think about them too much for now.]
She said this as if it were addressed to the wealthy woman, but also as if she were admonishing herself.
Today's live stream almost exhausted her social energy, leaving her feeling deeply tired.
A simple and unpretentious rich woman. [But speaking of which, it seems Kiyono also has a grudge against the isolated island?]
Ji Wanqing stared at the question, lost in thought, but she couldn't figure it out either.
SunnyTuanTuan: [Probably not? Maybe he didn't mean anything by it, so let's not overthink it.]
The unassuming wealthy woman: [Alright, you know what's good for you. Get some rest, don't overthink it, tomorrow's another day!]
A simple and unpretentious rich woman [pat on the head.jpg]
Sunny Tuantuan: [Okay, thank you, rich lady. You should go to sleep early too. Goodnight.]
After putting down her phone, Ji Wanqing went to wash up. She came out of the bathroom just as her phone beeped. She casually wiped her still-wet hands and opened her phone.
Is the deserted island asleep?
Sunny Day Tuan Tuan: [No, is something wrong, Brother Lonely Island?]
Ji Wanqing was a little conflicted; why would the isolated island send her a message at this time?
Just a short while after she replied to the message, she heard a knock on the door.
Ji Wanqing looked out through the peephole and saw Gudao standing outside. She immediately opened the door.
Pei Yu, standing outside the door, was dressed in dark gray pajamas and looked like he had just finished washing up.
He was tall and straight, and he was holding a thermos in his hand.
The soft light from the corridor fell on him, softening the aloofness he usually exuded when wearing a white coat.
"Brother Pei? It's so late, what are you doing here..." Ji Wanqing was a little surprised. She subconsciously gathered her still damp hair and felt a little uncomfortable in her loose pajamas.
Pei Yu handed over the thermos cup, his voice as gentle as ever, sounding exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
"You looked a little tired when you finished your live stream, so I made some calming ginkgo tea and brought you a cup."
His reasoning was natural and appropriate, as if it were just a common concern between friends.
Ji Wanqing was slightly taken aback, a warm feeling washing over her, but more than that, she felt a sense of helplessness at being carefully noticed.
She took the slightly warm thermos, and her fingertips inadvertently touched his knuckles, as if she were stung by a tiny electric current, causing her to subconsciously curl her fingers.
"Thank you... You've gone to so much trouble." She thanked him softly, her voice a little gentler than usual.
"No trouble at all." Pei Yu's gaze lingered for a moment on her damp eyelashes and slightly flushed cheeks before he politely looked away, his tone steady. "Drinking something warm at night will make you feel better. Get some rest early."
He didn't intend to linger; after speaking, he nodded slightly and turned to leave.
"Brother Pei." Ji Wanqing called out to him as if possessed, watching his retreating figure.
