[Party]:
\n[ReedWeiWei]: âNiNi, weâre leaving now. Message me if you need anything. You can message NaiHe if Iâm not here.â
\n[StormGoddessNiNi]: âAh!!! Can I?!!!â
\n[ASmileNaiHe]: âYes.â
\n[ReedWeiWei]: â^_^, weâre leaving now, 8 (bye)â
\n[StormGoddessNiNi]: âWait, we havenât divided up the dropped rewards yet.â
\n \nThe atmosphere in the cave is weird, so Wei Wei doesnât want to stay. She exits the quest with NaiHe without waiting for NiNi to distribute the dropped rewards. Looking at the quiet white robed musician beside her, Wei Wei asks: âWhat should we do next?â
\nâHold on, phone call.â
\nPhone call?
\nWei Wei suddenly suspects a possibility and canât help but feel fascinated: âUh, donât tell me. Were you fighting the boss and talking on the phone at the same time?â
\nWei Wei swears that she is only asking casually, but the Great Master responds with âMmâ like itâs a matter of fact. She feels completely powerless. Itâs actually trueâŠâŠ
\nWei Wei thinks for a long while, but just canât imagine it: ââŠâŠhow do you play with one hand?â
\nââŠâŠheadphones.â
\nOh right, you can connect headphones to the cell phone. Wei Wei is speechless. She says quickly: âGo take your phone call then.â
\n \nWei Wei isnât planning to stay on for a long time, but the thought of âgoing offlineâ doesnât appear in her head. Instead, the image of the Great Master taking a phone call calmly using his headphones appears. Heâs even able to multitask and play so well while talking on the phone. In some aspects, the Great Master is so talented that itâs too good to be true!
\nWei Wei falls into a daze. The heroine in red sits quietly beside the musician; her red clothes ripple in the breeze.
\nAfter a while, the white robed musician says: âWei Wei, I need to go to Shanghai tomorrow.â
\n*********
\n \nItâs only 11am and cafeteria near the library already has a long line. Wei Wei and her roommates are at the end of the line. They sigh as they look at the crowd in front of them.
\nEr Xi, whoâs standing behind her, sniggers, âHey, hey, hey, even if your (familyâs) Great Master isnât here, you donât need to feel down for having lunch with us, do you?â
\nWei Wei has already heard them say things like this all morning during their self-studies. Therefore, sheâs already numb about it, and focuses on looking at what dishes are available at the cafeteria today.
\nSeeing how she has no reactions to her comment, Er Xi chuckles, âWei Wei, what stage are you and the Great Master at?â
\nWei Wei turns her head around speechlessly, ââŠâŠWeâve only met each other for a week, okay!?â
\nSi Si leans over and says, âYou guys had already confirmed your relationship after meeting for two hours. At this pace, you guys could already have a child after a week whoâs old enough to go buy soy sauce (go out) on his/her own.â
\nââŠâŠâ Wei Wei, âAnyhow, thereâs nothing between us. The soy sauce store is nowhere in sight (too soon to talk about a baby), okay?â
\nXiao Ling doesnât believe her, âImpossible. Does Great Master Xiao plan to boil a frog (take it slow)?â
\nWei Wei >_\nItâs making more and more sense to Xiao Ling, âThat has to be it, I know Iâm right. He starts off at high heat, and then cooks on low heat. Heâll eat you, the frog, up sooner or later!â
\nEr Xi also ponders, âThat makes sense. This must be the Great Masterâs tactic. He starts off the battle lightning fast, and now heâs slowly infiltrating, hehhehhehheh.â She suddenly has a mischievous look on her face, âWei Wei, when will you guys be on a protracted battle?â
\nSi Si supports, âOh yeah, first itâs strong winds and squally showers, causing you to lose your sense of direction. And then itâs gentle winds and light showers, causing you to be confused and disoriented. What kind of rain will come next?â
\nSi Si thinks hard in her head, but for some reason, the following floats into Wei Weiâs mindââ
\nWushanâs clouds and rain (making love).
\nâŠâŠ
\nAnd then she is pompously dumbstruck.
\nEr Xi doesnât give up, âProtracted battle, oh, protracted battle. Itâs so long lasting.â
\nBefore Wei Wei and the rest could understand the deeper meaning behind her words, a guy lining up behind them spurts out with a âpfftâ sound.
\nFour pairs of eyes turn to look at him.
\nIt is a tall guy, but has a baby-face with big eyes; looking like a middle school student. He has been following behind them sneakily, but since Er Xi and the others often see guys who want to approach but donât dare to whenever they are with Wei Wei, they didnât pay special attention to him.
\nHis pale face suddenly blushes after being stared at by them. He ruffles his hair and says to Wei Wei embarrassingly, âHaha, third sister-in-law, Iâm MoZhaHim.â
\nWei Wei is puzzled.
\nMoZhaHim?! Hao Mei? The Great Masterâs dorm mate?! The one she knows?! No way! Wei Wei stares at him with her eyes wide open. Does this mean that he heard everything that they were talking about just now?! Ah, ah, ah, thatâs so embarrassing.
\nFurthermoreâŠâŠ
\nWei Wei remembers MoZhaHimâs description of himself; he said he was darker than charcoal. But this fair looking guy in front of her right nowâŠâŠ
\nWei Wei is mad.
\nGreat, this fellow has never spoken the truth from the start. He even set her up with false news just yesterday. With old and new grudges, Wei Wei smiles and says leisurely, âOh, so itâs~~Se~ni~or~~~Beau~~~ty~~~â
\nThereforeâŠâŠ
\nUnder the surprised gazes of everybody, MoZhaHimâs delicate and fair baby-face becomes, completely, deformed.
\n \nA couple of minutes later, MoZhaHim gobbles down his vegetables in a corner of the cafeteria and texts someone angrily on his phone: âYour wife flirted with me.â
\nThat certain someone quickly replies: âBe nicely flirted with. I donât mind.â
\nMoZhaHim coughs up blood immediately.
\n \nItâs worth mentioning that these two who love driving people crazy without taking any consequences sure are connected by telepathy â â
\n \nThere hasnât been any news of Xiao Nai all day. After Wei Wei returns from self-studying, she canât resist logging into the game. Xiao Nai is obviously not on. Wei Wei goes to their home, rearranges some furniture, waters some flowers in the garden, and walks around.
\nYuGong and the others arrive online shortly. After Wei Wei meets up with YuGong and MonkeyWine to give them their spirit pets, she busies herself with completing quests while chatting at the same time.
\nYuGong: âMaster Kangâs (çł ) new instant noodles isnât good.â
\nWei Wei: â@_@ even instant noodles have fake versions?â
\nMonkeyWing: âHeâs an idiot, thatâs why heâs eating Master âKangâ (çł ). The rest of us eat Master âKongâ (ćș·).â
\nYuGong: âSigh, Iâm no match to third brother, whoâs got great wine in hand, and beautiful women surrounding him.â
\nWei Wei: ââŠâŠâ
\nMoZhaHim, who lost out to Wei Wei today, tries hard to sow dissension: âThird sister-in-law, donât be mad, weâll help you give him a good lesson when he comes back.â
\nWei Wei: â>o\nWei Wei: âYuGong didnât use the wrong idiom this time.â
\nYuGong scorns: âI didnât use any idioms, okay?!â
\nWei Wei: âWe canât set the standard too high on you. Any four character phrase can be considered as an idiomâŠâŠâ
\nYuGong: âActually, itâs because I had a bad psychological experience with idioms during my childhood.â
\nMonkeyWine: âIs there a difference between having a bad psychological experience and being psychopathic?â
\nYuGong ignores him and explains depressingly: âEveryone has heard of the idiom, âthe foolish old man removes a mountainâ (yugong yi shan), right? Itâs about an old man and his family digging through the mountains bit by bit every dayâŠâŠâ
\nWei Wei quickly stops him from educating them on elementary school level literature: âWe happen to know. No need to explain it.â
\nYuGong: âOh, itâs good that you know. You know my name is Yu Ban Shan, right? So I always say the idiom as âyugong ban shanâ (the foolish old man moves a mountain). Because of this idiom, my teacher (corporally) punished me many times (flaming with anger).â
\nMonkeyWine: ââŠâŠhow come your traumatic experience is even simpler than me releasing a fart?â
\nMoZhaHim: ââŠâŠI didnât know brain damage could begin at such a young age.â
\nWei Wei: âIâm very kind, I didnât say anythingâŠâŠâ
\nClassmate YuGong goes to a corner to let himself rot in grief and indignation.
\nMoZhaHim doesnât give up and asks Wei Wei: âThird sister-in-law, youâre so unconcerned about third brother going to Shanghai, a world of myriad temptations. And those cocktail parties come at full forceâŠâŠâ
\nWei Wei: âIsnât he there to help Feng Teng (Soaring Wind) upgrade their system?â
\nMoZhaHim says in shock: âThird sister-in-law, you know about it?!â
\nOf course she knows about it.
\nThe Great Masterâs flight was at 8:30am, but he still asked her to go eat breakfast with him at 7am. While eating, he advised her of his schedule and the number of days that he will be gone for.
\nAnd then he left unhurriedly.
\n>o<
\n \nâThird sister-in-law, you only know one part of it, but not the other. They donât need him to go personally for a system upgrade,â MonkeyWine says, âI heard that the boss at Feng Teng wanted to introduce a big client to third brother, therefore, he decided to go last minute.â
\nYuGong revives from the dead: âHehheh, if we can get this project, third brother will have enough savings to get married.â
\nMoZhaHim supports him further while pretending to be surprised: âHe needs that much to get married?!â
\nYuGong teases: âHeâs marrying our departmentâs beauty.â
\nWei Wei is on the verge of grinding her teeth, but then again, she has never been defeated by anyone else other than âthe Great Master.â She sends a happy smiley over and says: âThereâs no helping it. The Great Master doesnât dream big, he doesnât want to give his hand (feminine use) to a rich woman.â
\nYuGong: ââŠâŠâ
\n \nA minute later, a certain someone at a cocktail party receives another complaint via text messaging: âYour wife bullied me.â
\nThe corners of Xiao Naiâs mouth lifts up slightly as he seamlessly puts his phone back into this pocket.
\nIt looks like someone is still having a great time while heâs away.
\n \nHowever, that someone whoâs far away in City B quickly goes from extreme joy to sorrow. It is because of Er Xi suddenly screaming, âOh my goodness, Wei Wei, hurry and come take a look at the schoolâs forum.â
