But she really hadn’t talked to Grandpa Lin recently, so how did he learn about the cancelation of their engagement?
Shi Yao felt frustrated over the matter for some time before recalling that she was in the middle of a game. She hurriedly tabbed back in.
But by the time she returned, the round had already come to an end.
It was only natural that she died. Considering that she walked away to pick up a call, she was forcefully thrown out of the plane, and after drifting in the air, she was an easy target for the other players to shoot down.
But the other three… shouldn’t have died so quickly either?
Shi Yao took a look at the room and saw that[Juice] and [Expert of the Monkeys] weren’t online, and [111111] wasn’t even in the room.
Thus, Shi Yao entered the [Sexy and Frisky] WeChat group and saw new messages in the chat.
[Expert of the Monkeys]: Sis Yao, did you disconnect?
[Expert of the Monkeys]: @[Yao Loves Ice Cream]
Shi Yao replied: [A call came in earlier. I went to pick it up.]
[Juice] instantly replied: Someone also called our boss right after the game started, so he left to pick it up.
[Yao Loves Ice Cream]: Oh.
Hmm… It seemed like she and Mister Numbers were sharing a lot of coincidences today. She met a lunatic, and so did he. When she picked up a call, he received one too…
[Expert of the Monkeys]: Sis Yao, are you still playing?
Shi Yao took a look at the time and saw that it was already ten-thirty. After recalling that she had to make a trip to the hospital tomorrow morning, she replied: [I’ll pass. I have something to do tomorrow morning, so I’m heading off to bed now.]
[Expert of the Monkeys]: Ah, goodnight then.
[Juice]: Goodnight.
[Tide], who hadn’t appeared for the entire day, also replied: Goodnight.
Shi Yao replied with a ‘goodnight’ as well before exiting the WeChat group to take a bath.
Lying on her bed, Shi Yao picked up her phone to set an alarm and then suddenly saw a private message from [Expert of the Monkeys]: [Sis Yao, if you’re going to play tomorrow, make sure to tell me in advance.]
Shi Yao replied with a smiley emoji and a single word: [Sure.]
After a short pause, she suddenly recalled the tense atmosphere in the game just now, so she couldn’t help but send another message out of curiosity. [What happened today? Why did it feel like everyone was acting strange just now?]
[Expert of the Monkeys]: Oh, it’s our boss. We were playing basketball in the afternoon, and our boss suddenly got a call and left the campus. When he got back, he had this frightening look on his face. So then Juice and I decided to lie low for the time being, so we don’t get caught in the crossfire. Otherwise, it’ll be a disaster if our boss refuses to foot the bill for our grand weekend dormitory feast!
So she wasn’t imagining things. [111111] had really been in a bad mood, causing the atmosphere in the game to feel so heavy and cold…
At this point, Shi Yao suddenly remembered [Expert of the Monkeys] talking about how [111111] was looking at a message sent by a girl, so she casually asked: [Maybe your boss had his heart broken?]
[Expert of the Monkeys]: You must be joking! Had his heart broken? That’s impossible! Our boss doesn’t even have a girlfriend! He’s even more virtuous than Xiaolongnü!
Youngster, that’s not how you should use the word ‘virtuous’…
[…] Shi Yao sent an ellipsis over to show that she had been rendered speechless. A moment later, she added: [ Xiaolongnü was tainted by Yin Zhiping. 1 ]
[Expert of the Monkeys]: Is that so?
[Expert of the Monkeys]: Aiya, forget that. In any case, it’s impossible for our boss to have his heart broken. This is a secret, but in his 21 years of living, our boss has remained a virgin…
