S... Setting Up a Street Stall?
Standing in front of him was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen, with delicate brows and cherry lips, black hair cascading over her shoulders, gentle and soft eyes, and slightly flushed cheeks.
Coupled with her graceful, shapely figure—if she wasn't Gu Yanxi, then who could she possibly be?
For a mont, Chen Zixuan was struck with utter panic.
It's over, Gu Yanxi tracked into the ga!
Has she already discovered that he is secretly playing a female character?
But very quickly—no more than an instant—Chen Zixuan forced himself to calm down.
Impossible. Now he had a completely different appearance—not to ntion looks, even his gender is changed.
There's no way she can recognize him, absolutely not!
Besides, when she'd just asked him, she only said she wanted him to teach her how to play. That should just be a coincidence.
Thinking this, Chen Zixuan finally settled down a bit. He took a deep breath and rejected her expressionlessly, "Sorry, I still have sothing else to do."
Having spent a lot of ti together, they would definitely recognize each other's little habits.
At this mont, he dared not agree to Gu Yanxi's request lightly.
If Gu Yanxi recognized him and was dragged into this whole ss, it would be the last thing Chen Zixuan wanted.
As if she had anticipated such an answer, the girl looked a little disappointed, lowered her head, and softly "oh"-ed, then bowed slightly and said, "Sorry to have bothered you."
Right then, a male player passing by overheard their conversation.
At first glance at Gu Yanxi—with that face and that figure—she absolutely qualified as a one-in-a-million beauty.
He instantly grew excited, hurried over, and eagerly tried to strike up conversation:
"Hey, beautiful, are you playing this ga alone? I'm free right now, let teach you how to play!"
Hearing this, a trace of displeasure flickered in Gu Yanxi's eyes, and she coldly refused, "Sorry, I don't like talking to n."
Standing at the side, Chen Zixuan was completely dumbfounded by this statent.
What? In your eyes, I've never been a man?
Yet that male player seed completely oblivious to the annoyance in her tone, simply assuming she refused because she was shy, and went on and on:
"Don't worry, beauty, I'm really skilled at this ga. I'm almost level 3 already—I can totally carry you!"
Seeing how persistent he was, a troubled expression appeared on Gu Yanxi's delicate face.
Everyone who knew Gu Yanxi knew that what she struggled with most was dealing with people who just wouldn't let things go.
The male player, seeing her like this, got even more excited. He quickly reached out, putting on a familiar air as he tried to pat the girl's shoulder.
"Co on, I'll take you out of the city to hunt monsters!"
Just as his hand was halfway there, a cool female voice suddenly rang out nearby.
"Take your filthy hand away. I'll teach her how to play—get lost."
Gu Yanxi imdiately took a step back, her gaze now openly filled with undisguised disgust when looking at the male player.
The male player turned around in embarrassnt and anger, only to see a petite figure dressed in a black cloak standing silently beside him.
Judging by the half-hidden face beneath the hood, this had to be another stunningly beautiful girl.
Damn! Why does she look like a ghost! When did she get here?!
Seeing his "easy catch" slipping away, the male player grew furious, his tone turning nasty as he said, "Telling to get lost—who the hell do you think you are?"
Unfazed, Chen Zixuan just smiled slightly and replied, "The two of us know each other in real life. What business is it of yours? And who do you think you are?"
Hearing this, the male player glanced over at Gu Yanxi's face, as if trying to confirm whether they really knew each other.
Gu Yanxi hesitated for a mont, then nodded slowly.
"Damn, a pair of lunatics, playing this double act—wasting my ti," the male player muttered, tossing out an insult as he angrily walked away.
Staring at the receding back of the male player, Chen Zixuan committed his appearance firmly to mory.
Bro, you better hope I don't see you out in the wild again, or your ashes will be scattered!
"Thank you."
Gu Yanxi was still a bit stunned. She couldn't understand why this girl, completely wrapped in a black cloak, had stepped in to help her out.
"I'm alone, too. From now on, you can co with ."
Chen Zixuan hesitated a long ti before finally sighing and saying this.
Logically, the farther he stayed from Gu Yanxi, the better. That was the only way to hide the secret of this account.
But humans are emotional creatures—even if he knew nothing good would co of it, he still wanted to keep those he cared about close.
Because of Chen Zixuan's answer, Gu Yanxi was montarily surprised and asked a little shyly, "Didn't you just say... you had sothing else to do?"
"Mhm, you'll co with ."
Chen Zixuan nodded, his voice soft.
For so reason, after hearing the voice of this mysterious girl, Gu Yanxi's previously flustered heart gradually cald down.
This inexplicable sense of assurance...it really feels just like... being beside Chen Zixuan...
She didn't know why she would feel this way.
After all, since both of them were girls in the ga, it wasn't a big deal. Almost as if possessed, Gu Yanxi gently nodded her head.
Beneath the hood, the silver-haired girl smiled. "Co with first."
With that, she took Gu Yanxi's hand, and the two of them walked together toward a corner of the central plaza.
"By the way, what class did you pick?"
Walking along, Chen Zixuan suddenly rembered and asked.
"Oh, my class? I think I picked priest."
Feeling the soft, smooth hand of the black-robed girl, Gu Yanxi's cheeks turned rosy as she answered quietly.
Priest, huh?
Sneaking a glance at Gu Yanxi's alluring figure, Chen Zixuan thought this class suited her pretty well.
Besides, he happened to have a priest skill book, [Holy Healing], and a blue-rarity priest staff—he could just give both to Gu Yanxi—if she really wanted to play the ga, that is.
"I'm playing as an assassin. Let's add each other as friends."
Chen Zixuan lied with a straight face, sending a friend request to Gu Yanxi.
"System notification: Player [Cecilia] has sent you a friend request. Accept?"
In a fluster, Gu Yanxi hit "accept," and a notification soon popped up for Chen Zixuan as well.
"System notification: You are now friends with player [Blooming Smile]!"
Seeing the ID, the silver-haired girl couldn't help but smile—no matter the social app or the ga, Gu Yanxi always used this ID; it never changed.
On the other side, Gu Yanxi felt puzzled.
It seed like... the ID Cecilia looked sowhat familiar...
"Where are we going next? Are we going to fight monsters?"
After a few steps, Gu Yanxi couldn't help but ask, curiosity getting the best of her.
The silver-haired girl gave a light laugh.
"Fighting monsters is so boring. I'll take you to set up a street stall."
