Ah... bright red fries, they have a unique charm.

It's a pity, it seems inappropriate to say it directly.

After resting for a while, French Fries suggested that they go out together to find some sweet soup to replenish their energy.

She jokingly referred to it as "strenuous exercise always requires replenishment."

The area where French Fries lives is full of local life, and the night market is especially lively due to its proximity to the university.

Among the pedestrians strolling through the food street were many young couples, and seeing them all holding hands, Jiang Heyi suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

French Fries led the way, and both of them adapted to each other's pace and adjusted their walking rhythm.

Jiang Heyi took a deep breath, reached out, and precisely took the hand of the swaying French fry.

Admiring the wisdom of our ancestors, he realized for the first time how accurately the word "soft hands" described a girl's hands.

The slender fingers seemed startled; they struggled slightly before obediently clenching together.

Coconut milk and purple sweet potato soup is delicious, lotus seed sweet soup is tasty, and the refreshing dessert soup has a unique flavor.

Her shy yet composed demeanor was very sweet.

Hehe, the sweet soup is so delicious.

When I got home, it was almost 10 p.m., and I would be going online soon.

It's very hot, and the fries are ready to wash away the summer heat and the sticky sweat after exercising.

Doorbell rang.

This is so sudden, who could it be at this time?

Jiang Heyi was staring blankly at the footage for her dating vlog on her computer, editing it, when she heard a noise and came to the corridor, only to see a flustered French Fries rushing towards her.

"Go back to your room first, and hide immediately if you hear any noise!"

Jiang Heyi was stunned: "Huh?"

"My parents are here!"

"what!"

Jiang Heyi was sweating profusely. What would happen if his parents, the ones with the fries, saw them in this situation...?

He wanted to crawl into the closet, but he felt that once he was inside, the scene would be strange.

There was nowhere to hide in the huge room.

Although he was extremely flustered, he thought it over and over...

Never mind, I'll close the door, lock it, and then eavesdrop while I wait for the right opportunity.

Lu Xinxin, the "French Fries Mom" ​​outside the gate, put her hands on her hips in a complaining manner.

"It's so slow, Xiaofei, why is it taking so long to open the door?"

French Fries feigned composure, calmly surveying the two uninvited guests outside the door.

"What are you doing here so late?"

Although these two had previously encouraged her to live with Jiang Heyi, but...

When it really came down to living together, Fries couldn't bring himself to be honest with them about it.

At this moment, there is a sense of panic, like a mouse seeing a cat.

"This is too cold. It's the classic Xiaofei. What, are you still so serious when you're dating President Potato? This isn't likable. What if people say you're not as good as Ke Xia? What are you going to do then?"

There were too many flaws in that statement, and the fries immediately got a headache.

From childhood to adulthood, she has never been able to get along well with her parents; their personalities seem to be inherently incompatible with hers.

"Don't stand at the door, come in first." Liu Jinhong said as he stepped into the entryway.

She wanted to stop them, but then she realized it would be too obvious, so she kept quiet.

Fortunately, French Fries usually wears sneakers, and Jiang Heyi's shoes were placed next to hers, so it was hard to notice anything unless you looked closely.

"The mat hasn't been put away yet. Were you exercising just now?" Lu Xinxin asked curiously.

Fries chimed in, "Yeah, so how did you guys end up here?"

"I'm going home tomorrow, so I'll save some money on accommodation. Anyway, you've rented a three-bedroom apartment, so it's perfect for you to stay for one night," Lu Xinxin said with a smile. "Thank you for your help for one night."

My head hurts from eating fries, why did I suddenly have this idea today?!

She said, "We're on vacation, is it appropriate to stay in such an unromantic place?"

“How could it lack romance? Aren’t you a product of our romance?” Lu Xinxin chuckled.

Hiding in his room, Jiang Heyi suddenly understood why French Fries had chosen the role-playing skill.

When they meet the boundary between reality and virtuality, Fries' parents are obviously more restrained; their true selves are revealed in their daily interactions with Fries.

“Hmm, I suddenly realize that Xiaofei has a point.” Liu Jinhong suddenly frowned, stroked his chin and looked at Lu Xinxin, “Isn’t there still a hotel in your favorites that you haven’t checked out yet? Let’s not wait for next time, let’s go tonight, how about it?”

"Huh?" Lu Xinxin was a little confused. "Didn't we agree to tease Xiaofei tonight?"

"Get out of here!" Upon hearing the blunt truth, Fries immediately clenched his fist.

Liu Jinhong said seriously, "Xiaofei is going to go online for the Proof of the Stars, but we have something important to do tonight, so we can't disturb her."

Lu Xinxin was persuaded. She pinched French Fries' face, which was red from anger, stood at the door and waved her hand until French Fries slammed the door shut. Then she shrugged helplessly.

As they left the residential compound, Liu Jinhong grabbed Lu Xinxin and quickly walked away.

"Why did you suddenly change your tune? It's been so long since I've spent time alone with Xiaofei. I wanted to see if she was taking good care of herself," Lu Xinxin muttered. "That girl insisted on going to school so far away."

"I was sitting on the sofa when I touched a cell phone."

"If you can touch it, you can touch it."

"It's not Xiaofei's."

Lu Xinxin's eyes widened.

"If I remember correctly, that phone case was made of potatoes."

Lu Xinxin's mouth was slightly open, and her eyes sparkled.

"You mean..."

"They're making progress faster than we expected."

After the initial joy, Lu Xinxin suddenly fell silent.

"Potatoes... should be fine, right?"

“At this offline gathering, just seeing him hiding backstage and giving the opportunity to other members of the guild shows that he is a very good person.” Liu Jinhong patted Lu Xinxin’s head. “Xiaofei is smarter than we thought, so don’t worry about her choice.”

“That makes sense…” Lu Xinxin suddenly thought of something, “We should mention Kexia to Xiaofei more often in the future.”

"Sigh, just thinking about how she twists and turns because of Kesha... um, so cute!"

Jiang Heyi and the fries had no idea why the lovey-dovey couple had left so quickly.

Jiang Heyi, unable to find his phone anywhere, finally heard a noise under the coffee table.

He had no idea that Liu Jinhong had kicked it in before leaving—leaving it in place would inevitably alert the ambiguous young couple to the fact that they had discovered this little secret.

It's funny how they think they know nothing about it when they actually know everything.

"found it?"

"Yeah, it fell under the coffee table." Jiang Heyi waved his phone.

Just then, a message popped up.

"Ah, it's your dad's."

French Fries picked up the phone and glanced at it.

"You haven't updated your vlog with Kesha for the past two days. I really want to see it. Stop hiding it and post the edited footage."

That stupid couple!

He was trying to get me to live with Potato, and then I sent him this kind of message.

Did they even consider things from their own daughter's perspective?

No, I can't get angry.

I've said before that I won't cause any trouble because of Kishya.

Ha, just a two-dimensional character.

"Still editing?"

“Cut it,” Fries said immediately. “If they want to see it, let them see it. Like I said, this is a gift that Kshasa sent us across the screen, why shouldn’t we accept it?”

Chapter 186 The Witness of the Stars: Lord Candlelight

Chen Shaoyu had a dream.

In my dream, I traversed the starry sky at an incredible speed, and what flashed past at the edge of my vision were countless dazzling bubbles.

Clear and authentic.

Tranquility and solitude are the only colors of the stars.

It's like being in a vast wilderness, wandering aimlessly without seeing a single person.

As if abandoned by the world.

That's why he woke up trembling on the folding bed.

At 2 a.m., the office on the floor where the Chinese server of StarCraft operates was empty.

Only a few people could approach her room, and Chen Shaoyu was one of them.

Chen Shaoyu wasn't hallucinating. The sound of whistling wind came from her private office, somewhat noisy, like the white noise he usually listened to to help him fall asleep.

There aren't many options available.

1. Push the door open and go in to take a look.

Second: Turn around and leave.

Three: Continue sleeping.

Chen Shaoyu chose two and three, and picked up his pillow, deciding to go down to the next floor to continue sleeping.

The Chinese server's user base is not large, with a total of no more than fifty people.

Initially, the number was greater than that, but after some events, they became ordinary people who knew nothing about the Stars Campfire and forgot that they had once worked there.

Those still in their positions today are all people she carefully selected and who have passed the test.

Chen Shaoyu still doesn't know what they all have in common.

The sound of pushing open the wooden door abruptly stopped the whistling wind.

Vibrant colors, like an overturned paint box, poured out from her slightly ajar office door, sweeping across every workstation and occupying every space.

With his back to the dazzling light, Chen Shaoyu suppressed his curiosity and turned the handle.

The moment she stepped out of the staff office, her ethereal voice echoed.

"Please come in."

Chen Shaoyu hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath, and turned around.

The dazzling light receded like a tide behind that door, and the staff office was plunged into darkness once again.

He gently pushed open the half-closed door, as if opening a stone door leading to another world.

The dazzling, multicolored light seemed to materialize into countless threads, flowing around her.

The moment Chen Shaoyu looked at it, the flowing light rapidly magnified in his field of vision. His consciousness seemed to open up to the other person, and the image was imprinted into his mind not through sight, but in a more direct form.

This seems to be... the scene he just dreamed about.

Chen Shaoyu believes that 99% of people on this planet would either be speechless or scream if they saw this scene.

Her head was suspended in mid-air, her torso sat upright in an office chair, and her hands had already left her body, wandering over her torso like a katydid, weaving the light and shadow of the sky into her body—at least that's how Chen Shaoyu imagined it when he saw this scene.
