Maybe it’s because of the cold dicine, or perhaps her body was really weak, Zhao ii slept until after three in the afternoon before she finally woke up.
When Zhao ii got up, Shi Yang and Qu Chaozong were sitting shoulder to shoulder on the sofa in the living room, completely engrossed in playing video gas in front of the TV.
Hearing the door open, both of them turned their heads to look at Zhao ii.
Shi Yang’s tank top clung to his sweaty back, his broad and strong back faintly visible. One foot hung off the ground, the other on the sofa, holding a ga controller in his hand.
At the sound of the door opening, they both turned their heads, their gaze landing on Zhao ii.
The mont Zhao ii’s eyes t with her Brother Yangyang’s, Shi Yang gave her a slight smile. His incredibly handso face lit up with a smile that shattered all the thoughts in Zhao ii’s mind, including the emotional troubles that had been bothering her.
Zhao ii felt her heart race, her breathing quickened, and a strange tingling sensation swiftly spread throughout her body like she’d been electrocuted, leaving her montarily dazed.
Shi Yang waved at her: "Why are you standing there like a fool? Co over, do you want to play a ga?"
Zhao ii nodded, calming her slightly fluttering heart and trying to keep her face composed as she walked over.
As soon as Zhao ii sat on the sofa, Shi Yang handed her the ga controller: "Co on, have a match with your Brother Chao. Your Brother Chao is terrible at gas, it’s perfect for you to play against him."
Qu Chaozong stretched his big foot, legs slanted on the sofa, and glared at Shi Yang: "Get lost! I was going easy on you just now! If you don’t believe , let’s play another round, and see if I can invade your lair!"
Shi Yang flipped his beautiful eyelids and gave him a stylish glance: "No need, my sis can wipe out your whole family!"
Zhao ii glanced at the ga screen on the TV, it looked familiar. She turned her head and asked: "Bro, why does this ga look a bit familiar?"
Shi Yang: "It’s the one you used to play at my place when you were little. There’s a new version now, apart from being a bit more difficult, it’s basically the sa."
Looking at the dark-thed battle screen before her, Zhao ii rembered that when the Xiaobawang ga console first ca out, Shi Yang’s dad got him one, the type with cartridges. Shi Yang was great at gas, and Zhao ii would join him when she visited, getting hooked and always pestering Shi Yang to practice with her.
With quick reflexes and nimble hands, Zhao ii improved her skills over ti, several tis reaching a draw with Shi Yang.
Zhao ii held the latest model of a certain brand’s ga controller, it felt good in her hands, though there were a few too many buttons.
Zhao ii asked: "What do all these buttons do?"
Shi Yang reached his arm around Zhao ii from behind, hugging her close, as he earnestly explained with his head against her cheek: "This controls directions up, down, left, right, this is the function key, press this and this together to jump, and this and that to unleash a big move..."
Shi Yang’s voice whispered in Zhao ii’s ear, and she could even feel his warm breath brushing past her cheek, tickling her warmly.
The scent coming from Shi Yang matched the one she slled in the bed, it was a famous brand’s n’s shower gel, faintly fragrant, not overpowering, very pleasant.
Zhao ii’s eyes focused on the ga controller, her peripheral vision sneaking through dense eyelashes to land on her Brother Yangyang’s face.
Shi Yang’s deep and charming eyes blinked occasionally, viewed from the side, his eyelashes appeared long and curled, his nearly perfect high nose, lips rapidly opening and closing as he spoke, his chin and side jaw contours like a sensually sculpted art piece, defined yet gentle.
After repeating the explanation, Shi Yang turned his head to ask Zhao ii: "Did you get it?"
Zhao ii stared at the suddenly enlarged handso face in front of her, instantly feeling nervous. As her gaze t with Brother Yangyang’s, her mind went blank.
Zhao ii: "....."
Shi Yang asked: "What’s wrong? Did you forget any steps?"
Zhao ii dryly swallowed, struggling to rein in her runaway thoughts, trying to appear nonchalant: "No, no, I got it pretty well. Let try it out, if there’s anything unclear, you can tell again."
Shi Yang retrieved his hand, patting her shoulder: "No worries, if you lose, I’ve got you. I’ll help you win it back."
Zhao ii secretly sighed with relief, holding the ga controller as she started to play the duel ga with Qu Chaozong.
At first, Zhao ii played clumsily, but after Shi Yang pointed out a few moves, she gradually found her rhythm, her speed increasing. Except for losing the first round to Qu Chaozong, she nearly blitzed the enemy base in the other two rounds.
Excited by the play, Zhao ii launched herself into her Brother Yangyang’s embrace after conquering Qu Chaozong’s base in the final round: "Bro! I crushed my Brother Chao! Kicked his butt hard!"
Shi Yang reached over to ruffle her head: "Not bad, well done!"
Qu Chaozong, shalessly finding excuses: "Silly girl, I was going easy on you, just like your brother."
Qu Chaozong worked to reclaim face: "Besides, you’re just a little girl, always talking about kicking and thrashing, it’s so uncivilized!"
Zhao ii giggled.
Shi Yang kicked Qu Chaozong: "Go, grab two drinks from the fridge, I’m thirsty."
Qu Chaozong reluctantly got up from the sofa, grumbling as he walked: "I swear, I must have owed you from a past life, co back this life to be your child bride, and you still have to boss around for a drink."
Zhao ii was laughing in Shi Yang’s arms, hearing this, she sprang up and hurried to beat Qu Chaozong to the kitchen: "Brother Chao! I’ll go get the drinks!!!"
Qu Chaozong: "....."
Shi Yang: "....."
Qu Chaozong, amused, returned to the sofa, throwing himself onto it: "There’s even soone tripping over themselves to be a child bride, not bad, sis, keep it up in the future!!"
Zhao ii’s response was a series of thumping footsteps from slippers.
Qu Chaozong grinned, teasing Shi Yang: "ii’s brother, your sis has potential!"
Shi Yang was watching the excited Zhao ii run towards the kitchen when he heard this, and kicked him: "Get lost! My sis is just doing you a favor after winning, don’t want you losing face."
Qu Chaozong touched his face: "Wow, no wonder the feeling is different, turns out my face is back!!"
Shi Yang laughed out loud, succinctly directing Qu Chaozong: "Scram!"
