Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"..."

"...Isn't it?"

"What are you thinking about? I just stayed up too late playing games."

Nangong Yu had no intention of showing off. Those who could boast about their private matters with their girlfriends in public were either virgins or scumbags.

Moreover, he wasn't lying; isn't that kind of game a game too?

Seeing Sugisaki Ken's relieved smile return, Nangong Yu gently shook her head.

I'm afraid my brother will suffer, but I'm also afraid he'll drive a Land Rover.

The conversation returned to normal, and as Sugisaki Ken recounted his fun experiences during summer vacation, the two quickly arrived at school.

The gentle breeze from the air conditioner dispelled the summer heat, and Nangong Yu lay on the table, closing her eyes contentedly.

Class has started, time to sleep!

The bell rang several times, and the chaotic noise finally woke him up.

"Hey, our game designer's awake!"

A familiar voice reached her ears. Nangong Yu looked up and found a fried noodle bread and a carton of yogurt on her table. Beiyuan and the others were sitting around the other side of the table, chatting and laughing as they ate.

Upon seeing Nangong Yu wake up, Beiyuan immediately smiled and made a joke.

"His debut book sold over seven million copies. Ah Yu is really amazing."

Grandpa Tong also sighed.

"Hmm... Keep it low-key. The game being good is only one aspect; the credit goes more to Ellie and Eden."

Nangong Yu wasn't being modest; without these two people, the game's sales would have been at least halved.

Stretching, Nangong Yu picked up the fried noodle bread and started eating without any hesitation.

Seele woke up late this morning and didn't have time to make lunch, so she could just use bread to fill her stomach.

Hearing Nangong Yu mention Alicia with such familiarity, Beiyuan subconsciously asked, "Yu, are you very familiar with Miss Fairy?"

"Familiar? I guess so."

Recalling the fireworks and tenderness of that night, Nangong Yu spoke calmly on the surface.

"Do you know whether the person in the photo in the post Miss Fairy updated half a month ago is male or female? It was trending on Weibo for a long time last time!"

Looking at Nangong Yu, Bei Yuan's eyes were full of gossip.

Glancing at him, Nangong Yu casually replied, "A man."

And that person is sitting right in front of you.

She added to herself, then picked up the yogurt and took another sip.

"That's really true..."

Kitahara sighed, clicking his tongue several times.

Seeing this, Nangong Yu raised an eyebrow: "What, aren't you curious about who the other person is?"

"who is it?"

"it's me."

"You've got quite the imagination, kid."

The three of them burst into laughter, and Nangong Yu laughed too.

"Oh, right, I just bought a big bottle of oolong tea. It'll be perfect for everyone to quench their thirst after dinner."

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating their bread, Kitahara suddenly said something.

Sugisaki Ken and Grandpa Kiri, unsuspecting, nodded and thanked him happily. Only Nangong Yu's eyes widened instantly, her gaze sharp.

It's really coming!

Kitahara returned to his table, fiddled with something behind the three of them, and soon came back with four cups of pale yellow liquid.

"Hey, drink up, class is about to start."

Just as Kitahara was looking at Sugisaki Ken and Kiri with excited eyes, Nangong Yu suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

"?"

"what happened?"

Before he could even pick up the cup, he was stopped, and Sugisaki Ken asked in confusion.

"Don't be impatient yet."

As she spoke, Nangong Yu glanced at Kitahara Iori, whose body suddenly stiffened, and silently took out the lighter she had painstakingly brought with her that morning from her pocket.

Then, while keeping a close eye on Kitahara, he placed the lighter on top of the oolong tea.

"Why are you so nervous?"

Looking at Beiyuan, Nangong Yu smiled. Luckily, he was prepared. He must be sweating buckets, bro!

"I, I didn't, haha."

His gaze darted around, and Bei Yuan didn't dare to meet Nangong Yu's eyes at all.

"Ah."

With another cold laugh, Nangong Yu tightened his fingers, and with a snap, a bright flame was ignited. He then slowly brought it close to the surface of the pale yellow liquid.

You dare to show off your petty skills in front of him... Hmm?

Just then, the flame touched the surface of the oolong tea.

To Nangong Yu's surprise, nothing happened afterward; the flames that had been lit did not cause any ripples.

No, this shouldn't be happening.

Frowning in confusion, Nangong Yu picked up the cup, sniffed it gently, then sipped it and smacked her lips.

Oh no, it looks like real oolong tea! He's become a clown!

How could this be?

Seeing this, Sugisaki Ken and Kiri Grandpa immediately cast questioning glances at Nangong Yu, wondering what he wanted to do.

Afterwards, the two, who were indeed thirsty after eating the bread, picked up their cups and drank without hesitation.

Just then, Nangong Yu noticed the corners of Beiyuan's mouth gradually curving upwards, and a sense of foreboding flashed through his mind.

As expected, the moment the 'oolong tea' entered their mouths, Sugisaki Ken and Kiri Grandpa's expressions instantly turned painful, and then they both spat it out with a 'poof' sound.

The moment his plan succeeded, Kitahara Teng stood up abruptly, pointed at the three people opposite him, and laughed wildly.

"Didn't expect that, did you? I knew you were observant and suspicious, so I specially prepared real oolong tea for you. You fell for it, didn't you? Hahahaha!!!!!!!!!"

However, as he laughed wildly, he failed to notice the simultaneous darkening expressions on the faces of his three brothers.

A blood-red "danger" character flashed above his head.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Iori, you didn't want this either...

Kitahara Iori's miserable summer vacation experience led him to completely disregard the consequences of his pranks on his best friend.

These three people, including Nangong Yu, aren't like the ones in PAB, who can resolve any conflict with just a few basic punches.

Unfortunately, when he was held up by three people and realized that he couldn't move at all, he finally realized what was happening and panicked a little. He forced a smile as he looked at his three good brothers with unfriendly expressions.

"Haha, it was just a joke, why did everyone take it so seriously?"

"joke?"

"Who would joke about replacing oolong tea with high-proof liquor?!"

Yes, of course!

Kitahara wanted to explain his miserable experiences this summer, but the three people wouldn't listen.

Seeing this, Kitahara, realizing he was about to be beaten, stopped pretending and started uttering threats while struggling. This made Kirito and Sugisaki Ken, who had initially been somewhat soft-hearted and only intended to kick him a couple of times, change their minds.

Soon, the students, who were still taking their lunch break, were surprised to see four popular boys in the school hugging each other and running together toward the school playground.

Some girls with unique interests couldn't help but scream with delight, lost in endless reverie.

Upon reaching the playground, Nangong Yu and the other two stopped, trying to restrain the struggling Kitahara Iori while observing their surroundings.

A nearby green belt caught Nangong Yu's attention. After comparing the width of the tree trunks inside, Nangong Yu gestured to Sugisaki Ken and Grandpa Kiri.

Seeing this, Kitahara Iori struggled even more violently. Her previous defiant and stubborn attitude vanished, replaced by terror. She began pleading incessantly, "Brother, brother, no, no, it's my fault, please forgive me, it was my fault!!!!"

"You are not joking at this moment."

If Kitahara had admitted his mistake from the beginning, the group might have been able to forgive him. But who knew that when he couldn't out-argue them, he immediately started mocking them with a sarcastic expression. Now he wants to beg for mercy? Is that even possible?

Grandpa Kirito and Sugisaki Ken each pulled apart his legs, while Nangong Yu supported him from behind. Under Kitahara Iori's increasingly desperate gaze, the three of them rushed towards the rough tree trunk without hesitation.

"No, no!!!!"

With a dull thud, like a chicken breaking and an egg shattering, Kitahara's piercing scream echoed across the playground.

thump.

The three men released their grip, and Kitahara immediately fell to the muddy ground, hunched over, clutching his groin with both hands, his gaze filled with resentment as he looked at the three men.

He has made up his mind that he will avenge this wrong sooner or later!

This sight made Nangong Yu raise an eyebrow. He stopped Sugisaki Ken, who wanted to add two more kicks, walked over and slowly squatted down, looking directly into Kitahara's unyielding eyes, and then smiled as he showed him his phone screen.

"Don't try anything funny. I know where you live, Iori. You don't want your parents and your sister to know that you've been to a place like this, do you?"

On the screen was the spending record of Nangong Yu's treat at the last mini-game festival.

"You!!!! I clearly didn't do anything!!"

"Yeah, yeah, as your good brother, of course I believe you didn't do anything. I hope your parents and sister believe it too~"

"!!!"
