The pretty girl who plays with people's feelings is going to be severely punished.

It was 11 p.m. when Shi Xu returned to her dormitory. Yu Lian's room was near the balcony, so she walked straight in and gently cupped Yu Lian's face from behind.

Yu Lian was forced to lift her chin to look at her, the back of her head pressing against the thin muscles of her abdomen.

Compared to Yu Lian's cheeks, which had already been cooled by the air conditioning, her fingertips felt incredibly hot. Her long brown hair fell onto Yu Lian's neck, tickling her.

"Why is our Xiao Lian sitting here all alone? Where is Gu Yitong?"

Yu Lian pointed to the bathroom on the side of the balcony and lowered her head to nudge her palm with her chin. She took the opportunity to release her hand and went to lock the dormitory door.

"Bai Jiayin hasn't returned yet," Yu Lian said, turning her head to remind her.

"Oh, she's not coming back tonight." Shi Xu passed by her on her way to the balcony, casually lit a cigarette, and made a crisp sound as she opened the lighter.

She's not coming back tonight, which means she's not at school. So, what about the girl I saw today…?

Yu Lian's gossipy nature kicked in again, and she asked Shi Xu to confirm, "She didn't go back to school, right?"

"Hmm." Shi Xu exhaled a puff of smoke, turned to look at her, and spoke in a soft, flirtatious tone, "She's not back yet. Did Xiao Lian need something from her? Do you need me to contact her for you?"

"Who to contact?" Gu Yitong opened the door. The bathroom was well soundproofed, so she only caught the last word.

Without waiting for an answer, Yu Lianteng stood up abruptly, grabbed her hand, and walked towards the door: "Come with me downstairs to buy a bottle of water."

"I was just about to go to bed, I'm exhausted from dancing today..."

He said he was reluctant, but he still followed her. The door, which had been locked from the inside, opened and closed again. At this hour, there was no one in the hallway or elevator. The only sound was the sound of their footsteps. The campus outside the window was pitch black.

"What's wrong? Are you scared to be alone?" Gu Yitong laughed as she stepped into the elevator, arms crossed.

Gu Yitong's clothes are all figure-hugging, even her nightgown is made of very little fabric. It's a Victoria's Secret style halter top, the silk material showing a pearly luster under the elevator lights. Several straps at the back cross, revealing a large expanse of her snow-white back, her pink hair ends curling up on both sides of her neck, the length not covering her collarbone, the rounded curves appearing even fuller as she crosses her arms.

She was a little taller than Yu Lian, and looked down at her with a smile, looking every bit the beautiful and charming female celebrity.

Yu Lian took a deep breath. Even though it was just the two of them in the elevator, she deliberately leaned closer to whisper, creating an atmosphere: "When I came back today, I saw Bai Jiayin's boyfriend with a girl, and they were hiding from people. Don't you think there's something wrong?"

"...Really?" Gu Yitong paused for a rare moment before replying, "You must have mistaken me for someone else?"

Seeing that she didn't believe him and that the photos he had taken had been deleted, he could only speak more sincerely: "There were lots of couples downstairs just now, and that guy and girl were standing in the gap between the buildings. Although they weren't kissing or hugging... it's strange. Would it be necessary to hide when you're just talking normally?"

The elevator doors opened with a ding.

Gu Yitong seemed to be pondering something and didn't reply for a long time. She followed Yu Lian to the vending machine area on the first floor. Yu Lian randomly selected a bottle of peach oolong tea, and only when she scanned the code did she hear her say something.

"Are you going to tell Bai Jiayin?"

It seemed she was starting to believe it. Yu Lian, who had simply wanted to gossip, hadn't considered this aspect at all. Her expression was hesitant: "Won't I get scolded? Besides, I don't even have any evidence..."

She could already picture Bai Jiayin scoffing and telling her she was meddling.

Gu Yitong thought for a moment: "Probably."

Yu Lian's face fell: "Then?"

"Let's just pretend we don't know." Gu Yitong blinked. The two were standing close together, and the faint scent of body lotion wafted into Yu Lian's nose.

Back in her dorm room, Gu Yitong silently took her phone and went to bed, her almond-shaped nail polish lightly tapping against the screen as she typed.

Gu Yitong: Yu Lian saw who you were talking to downstairs today.

"Chi Wang: My sister"

Chi Wang: Yu Lian saw me? What did she say? Why is she coming back to her room so late?

The heavy bed curtains kept the noise in the dormitory somewhat insulated. Shi Xu seemed to have given Yu Lian some snacks, and Yu Lian clumsily tore open the packaging bags, taking several tries before Shi Xu teased her with a laugh.

Disgusting homosexuals pretending to be straight and brainless idiots.

Gu Yitong felt a surge of anger, so she turned over, physically moving away from the noise.

Gu Yitong: Tell me you're dating your sister.

"Chi Wang: Could you explain this to me?"

Gu Yitong: What about what you promised me?

"Chi Wang: I'll take him out to eat tomorrow."

"Chi Wang: I asked you to invite Yu Lian out, but she ran off halfway through, and I didn't even get a chance to speak to her. And you still have the nerve to ask me about your business?"

"Chi Wang: Did you explain? You said that's my sister, my own flesh and blood, born of the same parents, and she came to me asking for money."

Gu Yitong turned off her phone. She lay on her side and exhaled towards the wall.

If it weren't for this idiot insisting that Yu Lian watch him play basketball, she wouldn't have lied and used the excuse of being Bai Jiayin's boyfriend to ask Yu Lian out. Yu Lian is so lazy that she even hires a runner to withdraw money from the school bank; if she wasn't lied to, why would she have gone to the basketball court?

Gu Yitong had planned it very well. When watching the game with Yu Lian, she would tell Yu Lian that she hadn't seen Bai Jiayin's boyfriend and that he probably couldn't come because of something. Then she would introduce Yu Lian to Chi Wang.

Before they could even watch it together, Yu Lianren had disappeared somewhere.

I was thinking of using the same excuse to lie again in a couple of days.

Who knew that this idiot Chi Wang would have the misfortune of being seen with a woman by Yu Lian.

A terrible teammate. A complete idiot.

If you want to pursue women, stay away from all women. In an era where BL novels are prevalent, she thought that saying she was her younger sister would solve everything. Her IQ is appalling. I don't know how she got into university. She even paid for her graduate school tuition.

Gu Yitong: I'll talk to you tomorrow.

"Chi Wang: Is Yu Lian asleep?"

Gu Yitong: Hmm

In the dormitory, Yu Lian was carrying her phone to the bathroom. The lights were already off, and she walked slowly with her flashlight on, still typing.

As if afraid of disturbing people, their footsteps were very light, making rustling sounds like small animals moving along the ground.

Gu Yitong pulled back the bed curtains to look at her, her body slightly raised, her smile flawless even in the darkness: "Don't look at your phone while walking, be careful not to fall again."

Yu Lian didn't even look up to answer before entering the bathroom. Gu Yitong drew the bed curtains, and the screen of her phone on the pillow glowed brightly, illuminating her expressionless face.

From childhood to adulthood, no matter the environment, Gu Yitong has always been the most dazzling, popular, and has the most friends among people.

Once everything in the world is quantified, it becomes a tradable and interchangeable currency.



At school, Yu Lian wouldn't go to bed early either. Even if she had to get up at 8 a.m. the next day, she would stubbornly stay up until 3 or 4 a.m.

Pressing the flush button, a message from Ao Chen, who had been silent for two days, appeared on the screen.

1: Is anyone attacking your account?

"1: Do you still want the national standard? Your on-screen presence is just a little short."

Yu Lian was a little conflicted.

The guy who was supposed to give her the Gongsun Li national standard mark was a male high school student who attended a boarding school. He's already gone back to school. He has to attend classes, so his time for playing games is very limited each day. The earliest he can get the Gongsun Li mark is next month.

However, Jing's combat strength was already quite close, so if Ao Chen put in some effort, it's really possible for her to succeed this month.

They hadn't completely forgotten the misunderstanding from two days ago. They usually talked about everything and everything every day, but their chat window had been completely empty for the past two days, maintaining a strange tacit understanding.

The Cold War started inexplicably and ended inexplicably.

What do you take her for?

Yu Lian's mind was racing, and she deliberately typed in a distant tone, putting on airs. In reality, she really wanted the target.

Xiao Lian's inner monologue: Oh... are you still going to hit me?

"1: Hit"

"1: If I don't print it out for you this month, I might not have time later."

"Xiao Lian's inner monologue: What's wrong? Time to go to work?"

During casual conversations, Ao Chen mentioned a few times that his parents wanted him to go out and find a proper job.

After dropping out of school in the second year of junior high, Ao Chen did all sorts of jobs. In the nearby county town, the regulations were not strict and there were no rules against employing child laborers. He worked in a feed mill, repaired cars, delivered goods, and even cleaned toilets. The wages were low and the work was tiring. He hated every job he did and could not stick with any of them.

He hasn't been playing Honor of Kings for very long. He didn't have a cell phone when he was in school, and only started playing after he bought a cheap, no-name phone after he started working.

Surprisingly talented, he started getting inquiries about playing games for others after less than a year. Ao Chen, desperate for money, tried taking on some ranked games and found it much easier than going to work.

He just stayed at home without looking for work. When he ran out of money for food, he would play some ranked matches and just get by day by day.

That's when he met Yu Lian.

Adding Yu Lian was purely an accidental mistake. He doesn't add any friends in the game except to curse at others, and prefers to play by himself.

I don't even glance at the female accounts that are lying in my friend request list for hours, which I can't even scroll to the top of.

In his mind, men should spend money on their girlfriends when they are in a relationship. He has no money and can't earn any; he can barely support himself.

Having lived such a life, one wouldn't want to burden another person.

Later, Yu Lian asked him to play together, and he thought, "I've already added her, might as well play." Playing with random teammates is the same as playing with her. So he decided to play.

Yu Lian was very cute when she first met him.

Every time she invites him to play, she calls him "brother" and acts cute and coquettish. When she gets killed, she pretends to be wronged and clicks on the other person's avatar to ask him to take revenge. When she wins, she arrogantly posts in the public chat to tell the other person that she is gloating. She uses voice-to-text, and you can clearly hear her smug voice in the team's microphone.

"Are my thugs good?"

Ao Chen has little experience playing duo queue with women; he's used to playing with his childhood friends. So when he suddenly encounters someone like this, it's hard for him not to want to keep playing with her.

Moreover, Yu Lian is very cute after she gets to know him, even cuter.

Once we got to know each other, we started playing with our microphones on. When Yao was stolen, I gritted my teeth and ordered him to crush the enemy Yao. When I argued with my teammates, I insisted that the player with the best score join in the insults, otherwise I would get angry and mute myself.

When he was playing at his peak, he kept sending him game messages to harass him and distract him. Every week at dawn, he would stay with him to guard the leaderboard and wait for him to get the title so that he could be the first to get the title. He also made him act out some silly little dramas.

It sounds abstract, but Ao Chen genuinely thinks she's incredibly cute.

He doesn't actually look at the photos she posts much. When he does see them, he always scrolls past them as if trying to avoid them, as if he can continue to deceive himself by not seeing her face.

But later I found that even just typing messages couldn't stop her.

I'm glued to my phone all day; Honor of Kings ranks second in screen time, and my chat history with her ranks first. Our chat history is several gigabytes, almost maxing out my phone's cache, but I can't bear to clear it.

It's a bit hopeless.

Later, Ao Chen joined a gaming companion group, so he spent less time playing with her. At first, Ao Chen didn't intend to take on the gaming companion role; he played games purely for entertainment and a sense of accomplishment, since it was rare for him to find something he was good at.

But I really have no money left.

Yu Lian didn't seem very happy after learning that he was going to join the gaming companion group, and her replies to messages became much more perfunctory. Ao Chen secretly logged into her game account and found that her stats included many unfamiliar IDs.

They were all new additions. Playing with her was a mixed bag, but I won more than when I duo-queued with Ao Chen.

He didn't ask, staring blankly at the intimate relationship page. His account only had one intimate relationship with Yu Lian, and Yu Lian's intimate relationship only had him as the only male account.

He belatedly realized that he had let Yu Lian down. He was busy taking orders and hiring companions every day, leaving him no time to play with her, which forced her to find someone else to accompany her.

No one else could treat her as well as him; no one would give her blue buffs, let her get kills, let her steal marks, or let her take her anger out on them. She's already treated so unfairly, and yet she still hasn't won much.

so poor.

She must be very sad.

Ao Chen wanted to make it up to her in some way.

"1: From now on, I'll use your account to accept game-playing jobs."

"1: I'll play some more ranked matches for you when I have time, and maybe we can get a small country."

"1: Do you want Jing, Ma Chao, Luna, or Lan?"

"Xiao Lian's inner monologue: Really?"

"Xiao Lian's inner monologue: I don't dare to take you because you want to ruin my account."

"1: You're amazing, kid. I just thought your profile was too shabby, with just a few crappy support mage badges. It's too beneath my close relationship with you."

"Xiao Lian's inner monologue: If he doesn't take it, it's my son."

"1: If you don't take it, you're a coward."

Later, his image gradually filled her homepage, and his presence was felt not only in their intimate relationship but also elsewhere.

After Yu Lian asked her question, Ao Chen didn't reply for a long time. She frowned, a little puzzled.

Actually, she didn't think Ao Chen could earn more by going to work than by playing games. After all, gaming is a young person's game, while working would provide him with decades of future opportunities.

However, Ao Chen's parents always felt that playing games was not a proper job.

The screen flashed indicating that typing was in progress.

"1: It can be considered as such"

"1: I'm going to youth training."
