Chapter 128: A Slap to the Face (8)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Qiao Lian woke up, it was already morning.
She stretched her back and yawned. She only rembered that she had injured herself yesterday when her face started to hurt.
She stood up and walked to the mirror. She realized that even though the five handprint marks on her face were still extrely obvious, the swelling has started to subside a little.
That dicinal ointnt was indeed pretty useful!
As she thought about this, she finished washing up and then quietly walked downstairs. She noticed that all the als had been prepared, but none of the servants were in the house.
She sat in the dining room and ate her breakfast, before returning back to the master bedroom upstairs.
Due to the bruises on her face, it would be untoward to leave the house like this now.
Did this an that... she had no other choice but to stay at ho the entire day?
Just as she was thinking about this, her phone started to ring. Her livestreaming partner Gao Youming’s voice emanated from the phone, saying, “Forget Chuan, you have not livestread for a while. Are you free tomorrow afternoon? There’s a match, and we could comnt it together.”
Qiao Lian looked at her own face. She was aware that she would laze around the house if she didn’t accept his invitation. Thus, she nodded and said, “All right, I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Just as she hung up, she realized that... she had not livestread for quite a while now.
Sowhat bored, she picked up her phone. She had originally wanted to scroll through her Weibo page, but for so reason, she tapped on the icon for the ‘LOT’ video ga.
As she gazed at the familiar in-ga interface, her eyes darkened suddenly.
Perhaps due to her being beaten up, her mood was rather low. Thus, many wonderful mories started flooding into her mind...
Another match had just ended. Just as everybody was celebrating their victory, Zi Chuan suddenly sent her a private ssage, saying:
[Zi Chuan: “Are you not happy?”]
Qiao Lian imdiately froze in shock.
[Xiao Qiao: How do you know?]
[Zi Chuan: “You were so distracted when you were playing. Only a blind person can’t tell that you aren’t happy.”]
[Xiao Qiao: “Yes... I’m upset.”]
[Zi Chuan: “I’m bored now, so tell why you’re upset.”]
Qiao Lian smiled.
Even though this fellow was curt, he also had a soft heart.
He clearly cared about her, yet still he had claid that he was bored anyway.
Her mood instantly lifted considerably and she continued typing.
[Xiao Qiao: “In last month’s exam, I dropped ten spots in the school ranking. My mom told that she would only let play video gas after I take the Gaokao. However, I’m still only in the first year of high school. I will only take the Gaokao in another two and a half years! I refused, and my mom declared that if I do not improve my ranking in the next monthly exam by at least ten spots, she would confiscate my computer.”]
Once she said this, the other side stayed silent for a long ti.
The silence was so long that Qiao Lian began to think that Zi Chuan had only been superficially listening to her.
She frustratedly hit her head. Why had she thought that she could find warmth and compassion from Zi Chuan? This fellow had a poisonous tongue. He was decent at arguing with her, but he would never be able to console her unless pigs were suddenly able to climb trees!
She pursed her lips unhappily and intended to log off. However, a private ssage suddenly popped up on the ga’s interface.
[Zi Chuan: 1861XXXX123]
Qiao Lian froze. A feeling of nervousness suddenly welled up in her heart. Could this be...
She suppressed her heart’s wild thumping and replied.
[Xiao Qiao: What is this?]
[Zi Chuan: You idiot! It’s my phone number.]
Xiao Qiao’s heart thumped even faster.
At that mont, they were still not in a relationship. They had only quarreled online and played gas together. After training together for three months, her coordination with Zi Chuan was now absolutely flawless.
She had always thought that since their relationship had started online, it would also end online. She did not know that such a relationship could transcend into the physical world as well.
