"Ahem!"

Su Qianqian deliberately cleared her throat, interrupting their strategic discussion, and said with a mischievous smile:

"Um... Sister Qingyue, Xiaoyu."

"Although I don't understand what you mean by 'mine' or 'tactics,' isn't the main point right now...?"

"Let's finish the food on the table first, or the steak will get cold!"

Lin Qingyue and Su Yu then came to their senses, exchanged a glance, and smiled at the same time.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

Lin Qingyue cut off a piece of steak, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.

This meal, though it started off a bit awkwardly, ended... well, it seems pretty good?

"..."

Jinxiu Garden, Binhai City, at the entrance of the residential community.

After three rounds of drinks, the black Rolls-Royce, like an elegant black swan, glided to a stop at the entrance of the residential area.

"arrive."

In the driver's seat, Lin Qingyue unbuckled her seatbelt and turned to look at the two people in the back seat.

"Thank you, Sister Qingyue, for bringing us back. Dinner was so delicious!" Su Qianqian got out of the car happily, her face beaming with smiles.

"Why are you being so polite with me?"

Lin Qingyue smiled, and her gaze then fell on Su Yu, who was standing on the other side of the car door.

The night breeze was slightly cool, ruffling the stray hairs on Su Yu's forehead.

He stood there casually, the streetlights behind him casting long shadows that gave him an indescribable youthful air.

The two looked at each other through the car window.

This time, there were no more probing and confrontations than before; the air was filled with a tacit understanding that only the two of them could comprehend.

Elder Su.

Lin Qingyue suddenly rolled down the car window, resting one hand on the windowsill. Her stunningly beautiful face looked exceptionally captivating in the dim light inside the car.

She tilted her head slightly, a faint smile curving her lips, her voice languid yet tinged with a hint of domineering:

Get a good rest tonight.

"Don't forget our promise, see you on the new map tomorrow..."

She paused deliberately, a meaningful glint in her eyes: "My... strongest henchman."

After saying that, she didn't give Su Yu a chance to reply and rolled up the car window.

hum-

With a low hum of its engine, the black sedan, like a ghost blending into the night, gracefully turned and drove away, leaving only a string of red taillights flashing in the darkness.

thump.

Watching the car disappear into the distance, Su Yu's heart involuntarily skipped a beat.

It wasn't just because of her breathtaking beauty, but also because of the emotions contained in that last glance.

Trust, appreciation, and a hint of... possessiveness?

"call......"

Su Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm his somewhat agitated heartbeat.

To be honest, his feelings for Lin Qingyue were complicated.

It's not just because she's a "sugar daddy," nor is it just because she's good-looking.

More importantly, this woman really understands him, and... she's very protective of him.

Whether it was the 10% off lottery held in the mall to protect their self-esteem, or Qin Tian's head-on confrontation with the Dynasty Guild in real life to protect Su Qianqian.

Su Yu noticed all these details.

"I didn't expect that..."

As Su Yu gazed at the empty streets, a vague memory suddenly surfaced in his mind.

He was very young then, living in a compound.

There was a girl next door who always wore a white dress and had a gentle smile. She would often secretly give him candy.

That's Lin Qingyue from my childhood memories.

Gentle and intellectual.

But now she has become a decisive and even somewhat domineering female CEO.

"How did the gentle girl next door become so domineering when she was little?"

Su Yu touched his nose, but couldn't help but smile.

"But... this feeling of being protected by a rich woman, it seems a bit too good, doesn't it?"

"..."

"Hey! Snap out of it!"

A small, fair hand waved in front of Su Yu's eyes.

Su Qianqian leaned closer with a mischievous grin, staring at Su Yu's face like a curious child:

"You can't even see the car anymore, why are you still looking? Have you been completely bewitched?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Su Yu slapped her sister's hand away impatiently and turned to walk into the residential area: "I was thinking about tomorrow's tactical arrangements."

"Pshaw~ Who would believe that!"

Su Qianqian followed behind, repeating like a broken record, "My ultimate fighter~ Tsk tsk tsk, listen to that, how cheesy! Anyone who didn't know better would think he was my boyfriend!"

"Comrade Su Yu, confess honestly, have you fallen for Sister Qingyue?"

"Sis, are you really that free? Go home, take a shower, and go to bed!"

"Hehe, I told you so! You're blushing now!"

The sounds of the siblings playing and laughing echoed through the quiet neighborhood, adding a touch of warmth to the slightly chilly night.

"..."

Room 1601, Jinxiu Garden.

When I got home, the cloud-shaped sofa that had just been delivered had already been installed by the workers.

I have to say, things bought at a 90% discount are especially great to use.

Su Yu quickly washed up, but instead of resting immediately, he habitually walked to the game pod.

Although a lot of time has already been spent in the mall and at the restaurant, for professional gamers, every minute and every second can determine the starting line of the new version.

He glanced at the indicator light on the gaming pod.

The yellow light that was flashing during the update has now turned into a solid green light that indicates that the update is complete.

[System notification: Client update complete!]

[The expansion pack "Call of the Abyss" has finished loading!]

[Earnings until the server officially opens: 08 hours, 15 minutes, and 23 seconds.]

"Will the server open at 8 AM tomorrow...?"

Su Yu glanced at the countdown, and the gentleness and languor in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by the sharp edge of a Shadow Asura.

New map: desolate mine, abandoned tunnel, black iron ore, mithril.

There are also many players and guilds.

"Since I've taken the money and owe a favor..."

Su Yu reached out and stroked the cold gaming pod lid, whispering, "Then we'd better do a good job."

"Tomorrow... I'll show you what a real... battleground is like."

After all, he hadn't actually fought in a real battle since awakening.

"..."

The next morning, at 7:55.

Su Yu and Su Qianqian lay down in the game pod on time.

"Connecting!"

hum!

Consciousness sinks to the grassroots, data flows.

A new world has opened its doors!
