Volu 4: High School Arc - “I” Co to Find You~
I didn’t know how long I had slept, only that this ti I had truly relaxed.
Regardless of what the System might beco after its upgrade, at least for now, I was genuinely safe.
Maybe... a lot of players felt the sa way I did.
“Mm~”
When I opened my eyes, the orange sunset filled my vision, with burning clouds at the horizon painting the entire sky, and the occasional sound of a honking horn from afar told I was already ho.
“You’re awake?”
The mont I opened my eyes, a familiar voice ca to my ears.
Following the sound, I turned my head and saw Shao He sitting in the front seat, looking back at .
“How... long did I sleep?”
I rubbed my eyes and looked down at the blanket that had sohow been draped over .
Then, as I lowered my head again, I noticed a pillow on the seat—it must have been Reina who brought it.
“It’s already past six.”
“Six... already?”
Had I slept the entire day?
I nodded in a daze and looked around.
It was indeed ho, no doubt about it.
“Why didn’t you wake ?”
I pulled off the blanket and opened the car door.
When my feet touched the ground, they still felt a bit weak.
Seed I really had slept myself silly.
“You looked so comfortable, I didn’t want to disturb you.”
While speaking, Shao He got out of the car too.
After casually closing the door, she turned and asked :
“Is your headache any better?”
“Yeah.”
Although it still hurt a little, after such a long sleep, it had eased sowhat.
I hadn’t had dinner, so I said I was eting a friend for so barbecue.
Shao He looked suspicious but didn’t ask much, and instead imdiately got the car ready.
I ntioned it to Reina.
Seeing that hint of loneliness in her eyes because she wasn’t joining us for the al, I didn’t know what to say.
I just got in the car and headed to the barbecue place.
When we arrived, Shao He, as usual, didn’t co in, choosing to stay in the car and wait.
Seeing her like that, I had to beg and plead until she finally agreed to co inside the restaurant.
It was still better than having her sit outside looking pitiful.
I told her to sit on the first floor and find any spot, then asked the server to bring her so snacks.
Since she ca out with , she should at least eat sothing.
As a bodyguard, Shao He was a bit rigid.
Even if I told her to co upstairs, she wouldn’t do it.
I had already tried that once before.
Maybe it was her professional code as a bodyguard?
Honestly, everyone had their own rigid habits—it’s just that so people were better at hiding them.
It was the sa private room, the sa corner.
The place had already been prepared, and aside from , everyone else was already there.
School let out around 3:30 to 4:00 p.m., and Jiang Yulong and Xu Han had both gotten off work a bit after 5.
As for Shan Xuelin, there was no need to even ntion—he was the restaurant owner, always here.
When I went upstairs and opened the door, the others had already started eating.
“Yunyan’s here? Congrats on surviving again!”
As soon as Xu Han saw enter, she rushed over to hug .
That really caught off guard.
She looked like her compassion was overflowing or sothing.
“Sister Xu Han, I’m fine.”
Seeing her so emotional, I couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.
After spending this much ti with her, I had a pretty good grasp of her personality.
She was basically one of those people who were cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Though not exactly the typical kind.
She was calm and logical with outsiders—that was the “cold” part.
As for being “warm,” it only showed when she acted a bit girlish around people close to her.
“All right, all right, stop hugging her already.”
Jiang Yulong, that guy, even got jealous over a girl.
I had no idea what Xu Han saw in this insanely jealous man.
Hearing Jiang Yulong's words, Xu Han turned around and rolled her eyes at him, then seed to realize she was being a bit inappropriate, so she let go of and casually pulled to sit beside her, pushing Jiang Yulong to the other side.
In an instant, there were two girls on this side, and three guys on the other.
Fortunately, this wasn’t a car, but a dinner table, so the seating arrangent actually worked better.
At least they believed “n have n’s topics, won have won’s topics,” so splitting up like this felt more natural.
As soon as I sat down, I felt the warmth coming from the floor heater.
I had to admit, during this late autumn season, this kind of heater was incredibly comfortable.
Xu Han eagerly handed a plate and chopsticks, while Jiang Yulong on the opposite side raised his hand and asked:
“Hey, Sister Liu, that’s not cool of you, is it? You said you were treating us tonight, so why did we guests arrive before you?”
Lu Haochen and Shan Xuelin both chuckled along.
These three guys did seem to have so common interests.
As for , I honestly didn’t know who to talk to.
“My bad. Sothing ca up today and delayed a bit.”
“What happened?”
The mont I said “sothing ca up,” the lively atmosphere in the room instantly cooled down.
Don’t forget, all four of them here were ga players.
In this ga, no matter how cheerful the mood, it could turn cold and stiff in an instant.
“It's nothing, really. Just a migraine, so I went to the hospital. Don’t make a big deal out of it. Didn’t you all get the ssage?”
Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, I couldn’t help but feel helpless about my choice of words.
Only after hearing this did the four of them breathe a sigh of relief.
After they all exhaled, Jiang Yulong complained:
“Phew... Going to the hospital is no big deal, so why all the secrecy? You almost scared to death.”
“Ugh! What kind of thing is that to say!”
Xu Han couldn’t stand the way Jiang Yulong spoke.
She imdiately gave him a playful glare, then turned back to with concern.
“Yunyan, are you all right? Was the migraine really bad?”
“No, it’s okay. Much better now. I took a nap at noon and recovered a lot.”
I smiled and waved my hand, then turned my head to look at the iron grill glowing red and said:
“Let’s eat, it’s on today. Order whatever you like!”
“Ohohoho! Our little rich lady’s treating? Hey Old Shan, don’t be stingy now, okay? I rember you’ve been hiding a jar of aged Earth-Sealed Aged Cellar, right? Bring it out, let’s have a drink! It’s rare for us to relax like this!”
“Haha... sure!”
Shan Xuelin laughed heartily and agreed without hesitation, then pressed the intercom button.
“Hey, Xiao Zhang, bring out that jar of liquor I locked in the storeroom!”
“Got it, Brother Shan.”
A female server’s voice ca through the walkie-talkie.
Then Shan Xuelin turned back and continued eating, while Jiang Yulong bead and said to and Lu Haochen:
“You guys don’t know, this old fellow has been hiding a twenty-year aged Earth-Sealed Aged Cellar. I’ve asked for it so many tis, and he always refused to give it to . Tsk tsk tsk, it’s all thanks to you, Sister Liu. As soon as you show up... boom! The old guy brings out the wine right away.”
While speaking, he shook his head and clicked his tongue dramatically. His whole act made Shan Xuelin point at him and smile wryly.
＿（：з」∠）＿Migraines are so painful.
