Ling Feng smiled faintly, recalling the first time he had accompanied Mei and the other two to Magic City. They had played here for a while back then. Before he knew it, so much time had passed.
"What's a game console?"
The girl looked up at Ling Feng with an innocent expression. Her eyes were no longer quite so numb. "A game console is something people use to pass the time. Playing games can make you feel happy."
Ling Feng found it hard to explain what games were, but they definitely were not things as demonic as certain idiotic parents claimed. He only knew that playing games could be fun!
"Is that so?"
The girl nodded thoughtfully, seeming somewhat expectant...
"Want to play? I'll take you."
Ling Feng had seen that expression on Kiana's face countless times already...
"This... is that okay?"
The girl's hand twitched, but she still seemed somewhat hesitant.
"Of course."
Ling Feng merely smiled at her, then took her hand and led her toward the arcade. At that moment...
There were not many people inside, since it was already quite late. After buying some tokens, Ling Feng took the girl to play games. Under Kiana and Bronya's guidance, he had become quite the gaming expert. Even with a complete newbie in tow, he could easily clear the levels.
However, before they had played for long, the girl began to feel dizzy. It seemed the place was too stuffy, so Ling Feng had no choice but to take her outside. The air out there was better.
"Whew... haa..."
Yet after leaving the arcade, the girl's breathing was still ragged, and she made the same sounds she had made last night...
"Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Ling Feng immediately became worried and hurriedly asked about her condition...
