"Whoa? Bro, you weren't online?"
The bedroom door flew open with a bang.
Ye Jiu, who had been gnawing on a chicken foot, jumped in fright at the sight of her older brother rushing out of his room. The half-eaten chicken foot nearly slipped from her hand.
"Bro, it's not what you think. I actually did call for you..." Ye Jiu said guiltily in a low voice as she looked at her brother's dark face, only to find that his attention wasn't on the opened takeout box at all.
"I can't log back in."
"You can't log back in?!" Ye Jiu froze, then muttered under her breath, "Why do all the good things happen to you..."

"Just try it."
Unable to resist her brother's urging, Ye Jiu, who had only just logged off, helplessly put the helmet back onto her head.

Ye Jiu rolled her eyes at him and tossed the helmet aside.
"Obviously, you're the problem."
"..."
Ye Wei sank into the sofa, finally giving up on the unrealistic fantasy
