At this moment, Zhou Qing felt a bit like questioning his life. If he could encounter such a beautiful girl while gaming, what was the point of using dating apps like Momo, Tantan, or MaoMi?
But he quickly shook his head, insisting it was absolutely fake.
He glanced at Chen Yi. Although he wasn't as handsome, tall, or well-built as Chen Yi, he was experienced. He considered himself a veteran of the dating scene.
Even with his experience, he couldn't find such an exceptional woman.
How could he possibly meet one while playing a game?
So, this had to be a coincidence. The other person just happened to call, and Chen Yi answered.
It had to be that.
With that thought, Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly, but as soon as the idea formed...
The voice on the phone echoed in his ears.
"Guess who!"
A simple sentence, like a clap of thunder.
If it had been a deep, husky voice, Zhou Qing could have accepted it. But it was completely different. The voice was soft and sweet, as if she were playfully coquettish, yet lively and vibrant. Just hearing it gave him a feeling of first love.
At this moment, Zhou Qing was stunned.
If he had wanted to deny it before, now, even if he wanted to, he found he couldn't.
Because everything was right in front of him.
It was real!
Seeing that Chen Yi hadn't replied for a long time, Su Nuan continued to giggle and asked, "Did I startle you? By the way, where are you? I don't see you?"
"I..."
Hearing this, Chen Yi finally relaxed.
Startled?
No!
He was just stunned, recalling past scenes.
To Chen Yi, they were very familiar with each other, knowing each other inside and out. But to her, this was their first meeting. However, he could tell that Su Nuan was very happy at the moment.
Her face was beaming with a joyful smile.
Perhaps this was Su Nuan's true state. Because in his past life, after joining RNG, Su Nuan rarely smiled.
Perhaps joining RNG was a mistake from the very beginning.
Thankfully!
Chen Yi had returned.
He had only one thought now: to protect this smile to the very end.
At this moment, Chen Yi didn't answer Su Nuan's question.
Instead, he borrowed Zhou Qing's phone, switched to the ultra-long zoom lens, and with a click, a youthful girl with a contented smile was perfectly captured on screen.
After sending it to his own phone via Bluetooth, Chen Yi naturally deleted the previous photo record.
"Thanks? My girlfriend... looks good, right?"
At first, Zhou Qing didn't react. But once he understood, he wished he could smash his phone and go pinch a lemon hard.
They had both come to meet an online friend.
Why did his turn out to be a beautiful, vibrant girl, while his was a dinosaur?
He had only one thought now.
Damn heavens, it was truly unfair. Especially thinking about Chen Yi's actions just now, Zhou Qing seriously suspected that this guy was showing off.
It was too much!
The instant this emotion arose, a cold notification sound appeared in Chen Yi's mind.
[Ding!]
[Zhou Qing dog food value +1!]
It directly refreshed a page, ten entries per page.
Chen Yi: "???"
This worked too?
But he wasn't showing off.
Yet, looking at Zhou Qing's stubborn, jealous, and unwilling gaze, Chen Yi seemed to understand the correct way to use this system. Showing off affection?
No!
This was clearly just rubbing it in, wasn't it?
Perhaps doing this isn't quite right, and it might hurt many people's feelings, but what's the problem?
Let others be sad, happiness is for myself.
"Bro, I'm leaving. And... I'll also tell you something: don't judge someone by their body shape. Every fat person is a potential stock."
Zhou Qing felt like spitting blood!
If anyone else had said this, he might have listened.
But you're saying it?
Do you even believe it yourself?
As another page refreshed, Chen Yi looked at the other person's appearance and felt that pushing it further might be a bit too much, so he stopped talking to Zhou Qing.
Instead, he made a phone call.
"Are you surprised? Did I startle you?"
"I..."
Chen Yi hesitated.
But then he chuckled and said, "You certainly startled me. Are you a woman?"
As soon as he said that... Su Nuan was very pleased. This was exactly the effect she wanted. She immediately replied, "Who said I was a man? Your Support Daddy is a great beauty. It looks like you might have to call me Support Mommy from now on?"
"..."
In an instant!
Chen Yi's expression turned strange. He didn't know how to respond.
If he really had to say it, calling her "Mom" was out of the question. But "Niang" might be acceptable, because... "Xin Niang" (bride) also contains "Niang," but Chen Yi wouldn't think of that now.
He thought about going to help her with her suitcase.
But... there were too many people.
Too many people, too many hands, easy to cause trouble.
He immediately cleared his throat and said, "There are too many people here right now. You go out first. I'll send you my WeChat location, and you can come find me."
"Okay!"
After the call ended, Su Nuan received the location.
Before coming...
She had searched through a lot of guides for meeting online friends, so she had ample defensive knowledge. She had even specifically equipped a bottle of concentrated chili extract on her keychain.
If anything went wrong, she would counterattack. However, she didn't think she'd need it.
After all, she had learned so much online. If she wasn't sure it was safe, she wouldn't have come to meet him. Right now, Su Nuan's mood was complex.
Nervous.
Anticipation.
Fear.
She felt all these emotions!
But they didn't affect her steps. As she arrived at the designated location, all the answers were revealed at that moment.
The moment she saw Chen Yi, Su Nuan was slightly stunned.
She had seen photos before, and her impression was good.
But in this era where Photoshop is as common as dogs, photos can only be used as a reference. Many people look completely different from their photos; most people look better in photos than in person.
However, Chen Yi was the complete opposite. His appearance was far better than in his photos.
After reacting, Su Nuan took a deep breath. She knew very well that she recognized him, but he didn't recognize her.
So, she had to be the one to make the first move.
Mustering her courage, she greeted him, "Hello, handsome guy. Nice to meet you for the first time. Please take care of me. I am your Support Daddy."
"..."
Chen Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
He had thought of many opening lines, but he never expected this to happen even after they met in person.
Still pulling this stunt?
Is this a "recognize your father on the spot" situation?
Perhaps it wasn't quite right. This was Su Nuan's most authentic self, untouched by RNG's schemes or the pressures of life.
Thinking of this, Chen Yi's eyes welled up slightly.
He felt fortunate, fortunate that he had returned.
He felt emotional, emotional that he still had a chance to make amends.
At least for Chen Yi, he was happy. However, this reaction startled Su Nuan. What was wrong with this person?
Am I really that scary-looking?
That I scared them into crying?
That shouldn't be it!
I should look pretty good, but thinking about it, I can kind of understand. My gaming buddy, who I always treated like a bro, suddenly turned out to be a girl.
It's a surprise, but also a shock.
After figuring it out, Su Nuan wondered if she should apologize, since she'd been hiding it for so long. But before she could say anything, Chen Yi suddenly spoke, saying:
"Alright! Get in the car... Let's go grab something to eat first, you haven't eaten, have you?"
"Huh?"
This isn't how the story was supposed to go.
Shouldn't he be more surprised?
Just as she was about to say this, her stomach betrayed her with a loud rumble that echoed between them. The scene instantly fell silent. Su Nuan experienced what a truly mortifying moment was for the first time.
