Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Chapter 123 That Hair Tie

Back in the living room, Jiang Yiting put his phone back on the coffee table.

She glanced at Chen Bainian, who was still asleep, and then looked down at her own pajamas.

He turned and went into the bathroom, gently closing the frosted glass door behind him.

Jiang Yiting checked again to make sure that the clothes she had changed out of last night had been put away in the laundry basket in the corner and were not exposed before she stood by the sink to start washing up.

But when her right hand instinctively reached for her left wrist to untie the hair tie and simply tie her hair up, her fingers missed.

She paused for a moment, then looked down at her left wrist.

The hair tie she usually used to tie her high ponytail was not in the familiar place at this moment.

The scene from last night flashed through my mind.

She put her usual hair tie around Chen Bainian's wrist and said to him, "I'm going to have a check-up tomorrow."

Jiang Yiting stared blankly at the mirror for two seconds.

Finally, I couldn't help but chuckle softly.

After quickly brushing her teeth and washing her face, she went back to her bedroom and got a new hair tie.

She tied her hair into that familiar high ponytail and changed into her usual casual clothes.

Jiang Yiting looked at herself in the mirror before returning to the living room.

The hair tie that they hadn't been able to find earlier was now quietly wrapped around Chen Bainian's wrist.

The thin black rope stood out conspicuously in the morning light.

Jiang Yiting squatted down beside the sofa and quietly studied his face.

She touched his eyelashes last night in the car.

But the light was too dim at that time, and she was a little confused, so she couldn't see clearly.

Now, with the morning light, we can finally take a good look at it.

Her eyelashes are indeed quite long and thick.

Her nose bridge is quite high, and the proportions and lines of her facial features are just right, with her jawline clearly defined.

After watching for a while, she came to a conclusion:

He's a bit of a shrew, but the kind of guy you like more and more the more you look at him.

After looking at him carefully for a while, Jiang Yiting reached out and gently poked his face: "Little brother."

Chen Bainian's cheek twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to lightly scratch his face a couple of times.

But that was all; he still didn't wake up.

Jiang Yiting looked at his action and almost laughed, so she reached out and poked him again: "Your sister called."

Chen Bainian's long eyelashes fluttered slightly before he slowly opened his eyes.

What came into view was Jiang Yiting's face so close to his, and her eyes that held a hint of a smile.

Chen Bainian stood there, still somewhat dazed, asking, "————What's wrong?"

"Your sister called," Jiang Yiting repeated. "I answered."

Chen Bainian was stunned for two seconds.

Then he suddenly sat up.

However, as soon as he sat up, Chen Bainian noticed some unusual things about his body.

He carefully pulled the blanket up and wrapped his lower body up.

Jiang Yiting glanced at his actions, and after a moment's thought, she roughly guessed the reason.

Her ears turned red without her noticing.

She turned her head, stood up, took a step back, cleared her throat, and asked, "Awake?"

Chen Bainian pulled the blanket up tighter, glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, his voice still a little hoarse: "Yeah, you just said my sister called me?"

"Yes, I answered it." Jiang Yiting tried hard to control her tone. "She said to call you back when you wake up."

Chen Bainian nodded, his mind still a bit foggy from waking up early.

"I'm planning to go downstairs to buy something to eat," Jiang Yiting continued, "Tell me what you want to eat."

"Just bring me whatever you're eating," Chen Bainian replied casually.

"Okay." Jiang Yiting glanced at him again. "Then go wash up quickly."

After saying that, she didn't wait for his response and turned to walk out the door.

The door to room 1202 opened and closed again.

Chen Bainian was left alone in the living room.

After calming down a bit, Chen Bainian tidied up the sofa and returned to 1201 with his blankets and pillows.

While washing up, Chen Bainian recalled the scene of being woken up earlier.

She squatted down beside the sofa, very close to him.

The morning light cast a soft golden glow on her face, making her eyes bright and smiling.

And then there's the memory of how she hurriedly left the house at the end.

She probably knew what it meant when he wrapped himself in a blanket.

Chen Bainian suppressed a laugh.

That means we're even now, considering it even with her from last night.

After washing up and changing his clothes, he picked up his phone and called Chen Jing back.

The phone was answered after ringing twice.

"Brother!" Chen Jing's voice came through, filled with eagerness, "You're awake?"

"Hmm." Chen Bainian sat down on the sofa. "Just now—"

"It was Sister Tingting who answered the phone just now," Chen Jing interrupted him directly. "Brother, Sister Tingting's voice is so magnetic and beautiful."

Chen Bainian was stunned for a moment.

Sister Tingting?

"What did you call her?"

"Sister Tingting," Chen Jing replied matter-of-factly, "she told me to call her that, so what's wrong with it?"

Chen Bainian smiled and said, "No problem."

"By the way, Mom and Dad waited for your call until very late last night. You can tell them yourself later. But—" Chen Jing changed the subject, becoming gossipy, "Brother, are you and Sister Tingting together?"

Chen Bainian paused for two seconds, then slowly said, "Not yet."

"Not yet?" Chen Jing drawled, "Then it'll be soon, right?"

Chen Bainian did not respond.

Chen Jing chuckled on the other end, then lowered her voice slightly: "By the way, brother, you know what? I used to think that the neighbor on the twelfth floor and the one you were talking about were two different people."

"What?" Chen Bainian was stunned for a moment, completely confused.

"Just before, didn't you and Sister Tingting make headlines because of your rumored relationship?" Chen Jing explained. "Later, you said you weren't eating alone, that you had a neighbor with you."

Then last night, I saw the group photo from your company's celebration party, and Sister Tingting was there too. The two of you were wearing matching outfits.

Chen Jing paused, then said softly, "I thought there were two of us, and I even thought you'd gone astray—"

Chen Bainian was speechless for a long time.

"When Sister Tingting answered the phone just now, she said she was your neighbor and had drunk too much at your celebration party last night. That's how I connected the two of them," Chen Jing said with a silly smile.

Chen Jing's explanation was a bit disorganized, but Chen Bainian roughly understood what she meant.

He smiled helplessly: "Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Hehe." Chen Jing chuckled twice, then her tone became serious. "But, Sister Tingting is a really nice person. Brother, you have good taste."

Chen Bainian didn't say anything, but just smiled slightly.

"Alright, alright, I'll take the phone to my parents; they must be getting impatient waiting in the living room."

"Mm," Chen Baishen responded.

I heard footsteps coming downstairs on the other end of the phone.

At this moment, Chen Bainian vaguely heard the sound of the door closing next door, guessing that Jiang Yiting had probably returned with breakfast.

After a while, there was some static in the sound coming from the other end of the phone.
