Luckily, Xiao Xie quickly pulled his gaze away from the court, sparing Wei Wei the agony of further thought.
Wei Wei hurriedly said, "Um, they're my roommates." She gestured toward the three girls beside her and introduced them one by one. "Xiao Ling, Erxi, Si Si."
"Erxi, you've met her before."
"Hello!" Xiao Xie smiled at Zhao Erxi and the others.
"Hello, Great God!" Zhao Erxi and the other two replied stiffly. Zhao Erxi screamed inwardly, Zhao Erxi, stay calm! This is already the third time you've met the Great God. Don't start fangirling!
Seeing how rigid all three of them looked, Wei Wei secretly laughed. Compared to the three of them, my reaction is perfectly normal!
In this strange atmosphere, the basketball game still came to an end. Xiao Xie smiled and said, "Wei Wei, let's go!"
"Go! Go!" Before Wei Wei could answer, Zhao Erxi agreed for her.
Wei Wei could not help shooting Zhao Erxi a huge glare. Even now, she was still a little dazed. Weren't she and Xiao Xie just an in-game couple? How had things suddenly started developing in real life? What should she do? She was not ready yet!
Urged on by Zhao Erxi and the other two, Wei Wei dazedly followed them into Xiao Xie's car.
"Wei Wei, what do you want to eat?" Xiao Xie asked Wei Wei gently from where she sat in the passenger seat.
"Wei Wei loves lobster the most. She can eat eight jin in one meal!" Zhao Erxi in the back seat rushed to answer again upon hearing Xiao Xie's question.
The moment Zhao Erxi finished speaking, Wei Wei's pretty face reddened with a puff, becoming as red as an apple. Seeing Xiao Xie looking at her with a smile, Wei Wei gripped her seatbelt and thought, Zhao Erxi, you made me embarrass myself so badly in front of the Great God. Just wait until we get back—I'll beat you to death! What do I do? The Great God won't think I'm some kind of glutton, will he?
"Got it." Seeing that Wei Wei was too shy to say a word, Xiao Xie smiled knowingly and stopped teasing her. He stepped on the gas and headed for the hotel.
Half an hour later, Xiao Xie drove to the entrance of the Waterfront Restaurant. After parking, he led the four girls inside and got a private room.
The private rooms here were quite special. Each one was a small pavilion in the middle of a lake, so guests could enjoy the scenery while eating. It was probably this restaurant's signature feature.
"Start with five lobsters, five King Crabs, five jin of two-head abalone, five medium-rare steaks, and two bottles of fruit juice." After looking over the menu, Xiao Xie gave his order to the waiter beside him.
"Erxi, the food here is so expensive," Si Si whispered after glancing at the menu. She had seen that one lobster cost 888 RMB and had not dared look any further.
"Erxi, even if the Great God is rich, isn't it a little inappropriate to eat somewhere this expensive on our first time?" Xiao Ling also whispered awkwardly to Zhao Erxi.
Zhao Erxi replied in embarrassment, "I thought the Great God would take us out for crayfish. Who knew it would be giant lobsters? This meal alone must cost tens of thousands!"
After looking at the menu, Wei Wei was startled as well. She softly said to Xiao Xie, "Great God, this place is way too expensive! We could just have some crayfish."
Xiao Xie smiled teasingly. "What's wrong? Is my wife already saving money for me?"
The word "wife" immediately made Wei Wei lower her little head in embarrassment.
Xiao Xie smiled. "Wei Wei, they say money can't buy happiness. If you're happy, I'm happy. Besides, isn't it only natural for a husband to spend money on his wife?"
"Great God, you're so handsome!" Zhao Erxi and the other two said with lovestruck expressions after hearing him.
Fortunately, the food arrived soon, or Wei Wei had no idea how long she would have kept blushing.
"It smells so good!" The giant lobsters that were brought over were bright red and looked incredibly appetizing.
Since Wei Wei and the others were girls and Xiao Xie still had to drive, all five of them drank fruit juice. Xiao Xie raised his glass and said to Zhao Erxi and the other three, "Whenever I'm not by Wei Wei's side in the future, I'll have to rely on you to take care of my wife. I'll drink first as a show of respect."
"Don't worry, Great God! Leave Wei Wei to us."
"We'll take good care of Wei Wei!"
"Leave it to us!"
The three girls immediately patted their chests in promise and agreed with smiles.
"All right, eat while it's hot. If it's not enough, order more. As my wife's family, there's no need to stand on ceremony with me!" Xiao Xie said happily.
"Then we won't stand on ceremony!" Hearing Xiao Xie say that, the three girls stopped holding back and immediately started eating.
Watching the interactions between Xiao Xie and the other three, Wei Wei was already so embarrassed that she could barely contain herself. She lowered her head and focused on wiping out her food. Then, a piece of lobster meat suddenly appeared in her bowl. Wei Wei looked up and saw Xiao Xie smiling gently at her. "Wei Wei, since you like lobster, eat a little more."
"Thank you," Wei Wei replied softly, thinking to herself, I must have seen wrong. How could the Great God possibly be this gentle? Maybe he just doesn't like lobster, so he's feeding it to me?
"Wei Wei, Erxi said you can eat eight jin of lobster in one meal. You should eat more this time—you're too skinny!" Xiao Xie suddenly said with a smile.
Sure enough, the Great God being gentle and all that is just an illusion! Wei Wei thought after hearing him. Her determination to deal with Zhao Erxi after returning grew even firmer. Damn Erxi, making me unable to hold my head up in front of the Great God... sob...
And so, lunch passed amid Xiao Xie's teasing and Wei Wei's embarrassment.
After the meal, Xiao Xie drove the four girls back to the entrance of the women's dormitory.
"Wei Wei, let's farm a BOSS together tonight!" Xiao Xie said to her.
"Mm, see you tonight!" Wei Wei replied almost reflexively.
"Bye-bye!" Xiao Xie bid the four girls farewell and drove away.
"Bye-bye," Wei Wei softly replied.
"Bye-bye!" Zhao Erxi and the other two waved vigorously in the direction Xiao Xie had left.
After Xiao Xie drove away, Wei Wei let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, she was still dizzy from everything.
Wei Wei looked at Zhao Erxi and the others, only to find them strangely silent as well. She immediately became alert. This would not do—the longer they suppressed it, the more fiercely it would erupt later. She should hurry and voluntarily submit herself to questioning.
Wei Wei cleared her throat and said, "Ask whatever you want to ask."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhao Erxi rushed over and shook her. "You've been dating Great God Xiao Xie for so long, and you never told us!"
Wei Wei's voice came out in broken fragments as she was shaken. "...I'm innocent... I still... haven't figured this out myself..."
Si Si roared, "Do you take us for idiots?! The way you two were today—who'd believe there wasn't at least half a year of something shady going on between you!"
Wei Wei felt like crying. Half a year? Half an hour would be more like it! She yanked herself free from Si Si's grasp and blurted everything out in one breath.
"I demand ten minutes of uninterrupted time to explain myself!"
Er Xi, Si Si, and Xiao Ling exchanged glances, then waved their hands as if granting her mercy. "Then hurry up and confess everything!"
Xiao Ling asked, "How far have you two gotten? Have you kissed? When was your first kiss?"
"..."
Wei Wei ignored her completely, cleared her throat, and said, "This all started that day, when Er Xi and I went to the computer store..."
Wei Wei slowly began recalling and recounting everything. She was a typical science student, not particularly gifted with words. Under her narration, the story between her and Xiao Xie became this: they had met once in real life, then became a couple in the game, and somehow, for no apparent reason, things had turned into what they were now.
"So you've really only known Xiao Xie Great God for two days?" Xiao Ling asked, her face filled with disbelief.
"Wow! Xiao Xie Great God saved you like a hero in real life, and then the two of you became husband and wife in the game. Could this be the legendary love at first sight? Wei Wei, your love story is just too perfect!" Si Si cried enviously, clasping her hands to her chest.
"When will my Prince Charming finally appear? Wei Wei, I'm so jealous of you!" Er Xi wailed.
"What's with those looks on your faces?! Honestly, I still feel like none of this is real!" Wei Wei said helplessly as she looked at the undisguised envy on the three girls' faces.
"Wei Wei, don't overthink it! Great God truly lives up to his name—even getting a girlfriend happens this fast. But Wei Wei, you're too embarrassing. Great God won you over so quickly!" Er Xi said, looking as though she hated to see her fail to meet expectations.
"You've got the nerve to say that? You were the one who ate the most just now, and you were the fastest to agree to Great God's request!" Wei Wei snapped.
"Don't be mad, don't be mad, Wei Wei. I was wrong!" Er Xi hurriedly begged for mercy, but then her tone shifted, revealing her true foodie nature. "But seriously, today's food really was delicious!"
"..." Wei Wei was speechless.
