Guard Against Dangerous Factors

Keeping an Eye on Dangerous Factors

That evening, after Xiao Nai logged in, he habitually summoned Weiwei to do the Couple Mission with him. Whenever he summoned her before, Weiwei would arrive in an instant. But this time, she did not come over for quite a while.

When Weiwei saw Xiao Nai's summons, she had been leisurely flipping through practice problems while her game character idled on auto-mode in a party. The moment she saw his summons, she suddenly panicked.

From childhood to adulthood, Weiwei had lost count of how many people's pursuits she had turned down. She normally would not feel the slightest pressure over it—she was used to it, after all.

But this was Xiao Nai!

While Weiwei was helplessly agonizing over it on her end, Xiao Nai's brows gradually furrowed on his. By the instincts of a black-bellied man, something uncontrollable must have happened.

With that thought, Xiao Nai picked up his phone. After considering it for a moment, he called Yu Banshan. Through Yu Banshan, he effortlessly learned what had happened between him and Weiwei in the game that afternoon.

Wang Yue was reading when he suddenly heard Fourth Brother in the dorm say mournfully, "Weiwei went off to do Couple Missions!"

"Looks like the landmine we planted this morning was easily defused," Second Brother Jia Honghai lamented.

"Xiao Nai really lives up to his reputation." Though Boss Huang Tao's relaxed tone was thick with sourness, it was also full of admiration.

Looking at his three dormmates, Wang Yue summed it up for them. "This is called Three Saints Test Zen Heart! Boss, you can go find Xiao Nai now. Make him give you some wedding candy—you can't let him get your assist for free."

"Right, right! I heard Senior Brother Xiao's company is a great fit for our major." Second Brother Jia Honghai changed his tune quickly.

"Third Brother is right. I'm going to find Xiao Nai right now and congratulate him on winning the beauty's heart!" Boss switched sides just as quickly.

Watching those two betray their side so fast, Wang Yue felt that their idol had to be Durant. Though, it did seem like a good idea. For Durant, as long as he could win the championship, who cared about anything else?

Now that someone had taken the lead in switching sides, Wang Yue was no fool either. He figured he could also go learn from Xiao Nai. Forget the computer skills—even his skill at picking up girls was worth learning. Maybe Wang Yue could become an expert himself.

Things unfolded just as Wang Yue had expected. With just a little push from him, Xiao Nai went with the flow and won over Bei Weiwei.

That black-bellied fox was decisive enough, and Wang Yue learned a Great God's ability to react on the spot from him.

Because Wang Yue had picked up an adorable Er Xi, and Xiao Nai had won over Bei Weiwei ahead of time, many things from the original plot never happened.

In Wang Yue's memories, Xiao Nai had not gotten into a car accident, and the two of them had naturally gone on to win the season's Couples Competition championship.

Even the classic scene of Xiao Nai and Bei Weiwei's first offline meeting never happened. Time simply passed by slowly.

Wang Yue and Er Xi naturally got together. Like conjoined twins, they ate together and studied in the library together. Even after Wang Yue finished learning all the freshman-year coursework, he continued accompanying Er Xi to class, as if competing with Xiao Nai and Bei Weiwei to see who could show off their affection in more ways.

After getting Wang Yue as a Boyfriend, Er Xi no longer played A Chinese Ghost Story. She did not even go to Zhenyi Technology's interview. Having just tasted love for the first time, the Little Girl's mind was filled entirely with Wang Yue. How could she remember anything else?

That day, instead of running dungeons, everyone gathered at Weiwei's house in the game to chat.

Weiwei's Big Follower: Senior Sister Weiwei, are you going to cheer for Senior Brother Xiao at today's Senior Basketball Farewell Game?

Reed Weiwei: Of course. Everyone in my dorm is going.

Weiwei's Fourth Follower: Senior Sister Weiwei, I might be playing too. Remember to cheer for me!

Yu Gong Yi Shan: Are you sure you need my Third Sister-in-law to cheer for you?

Weiwei's Fourth Follower: What's wrong with that?

Yu Gong Yi Shan: Knowing how petty Xiao Nai is, I really admire your courage.

Reed Weiwei: Don't worry. With me here, there's nothing to fear from him!

Yu Gong Yi Shan: Junior Sister Weiwei, Third Brother just walked past behind me. He's turning on his computer.

Reed Weiwei: Er Xi needs me for something. I'm logging off first.

Weiwei's Big Follower: Senior Sister Weiwei talks tough but folds easily!

Weiwei's Second Follower: Senior Brother Yu Gong, did you ask Senior Brother Xiao about us helping out at your company over summer break?

Yixiao Naihe: Sure. Your whole dorm can come—bring your Third Brother too!

Yu Banshan stared at Xiao Nai in surprise, wearing an expression that said he did not know him at all. "You actually agreed? I've put them off for ages and didn't dare say yes!"

When Xiao Nai heard his roommate ask, he answered concisely, "It's better to keep the unstable factors in their dorm under my nose."

Yu Banshan immediately understood. "I get it. If they make any move, you'll be able to see it all at a glance!"

Xiao Nai stiffened for a moment, then said helplessly, "It's 'see everything at a glance.' Also, they said their Third Brother is an expert. I want to see what he can do."

Yu Banshan was not embarrassed in the slightest—he was long used to it. He merely said with Schadenfreude, "Now that you've got your eye on him, I offer my condolences to their Third Brother."

After Xiao Nai discovered that Weiwei had complained to Yu Banshan about being confessed to from childhood until now, she hurriedly logged off in a panic. But after logging out, she suddenly realized something was wrong. Why am I panicking?

When you were not completely in the right, you had to act like you were.

Right, that was what she would do!

Bei Weiwei encouraged herself as she logged back into the game.

The moment Weiwei's character appeared among the crowd, everyone immediately noticed her.

Monkey Wine: Junior Sister Weiwei, why are you back again?

Reed Weiwei: Oh, Er Xi said I don't need to stop playing. She can just look for Sisi instead.

The people in Xiao Nai's dorm exchanged glances. Third Sister-in-law really had guts—she was quite a talent!

Just then, Huang Tao, the Boss of Wang Yue's dorm, broke the silence.

Weiwei's Big Follower: Senior Sister Weiwei, why did you agree to be Xiao Nai's girlfriend so quickly back then? We thought you'd drag it out for at least half a year!

Monkey Wine: Yeah, yeah, I want to know too!

Yu Gong Yi Shan: +1

Mozhata: +1

Weiwei's Second Follower: Same here.

Weiwei's Fourth Follower: Same here +1

Watching them stir things up, Weiwei, who had only just managed to calm herself down, blushed again. Thinking of what had happened that day and what Xiao Nai had said, her heart turned sweet once more.

Just as Bei Weiwei was agonizing over how to answer everyone, Xiao Nai suddenly spoke up.

Yixiao Naihe: Love O2O—a fleeting glimpse of stunning beauty that bewitched my heart!

Mozhata (Hao Mei, Xiao Nai's roommate): I knew it. Xiao Nai must have confessed first. Yu Gong, Monkey, you two lost. Treat us later.

Monkey Wine: Shouldn't Third Brother be like a gentle spring rain, silently nourishing all things?

Yu Gong Yi Shan: Monkey's right. Why did he suddenly take down Junior Sister Weiwei at lightning speed this time?

Mozhata: I thought it over carefully and realized that Third Brother and Weiwei's relationship started progressing by leaps and bounds after Weiwei got a few more followers.

Weiwei's Second Follower: I know about this!

Weiwei's Big Follower: I know too!

Weiwei's Fourth Follower: How come I don't know?!

Liu Wei stared at the chat messages in utter confusion, then turned to ask the two older brothers in his dorm, "Boss, Second Brother, what are you two hiding from me again?"

Huang Tao and Jia Honghai could not be bothered to respond to this fool. They always felt that his IQ was a Sine Function.

Yu Gong Yi Shan: Hurry up and tell us!

Monkey Wine: Get on with it!

Mozhata: I'm going to grab a little stool!

Reed Weiwei: Maybe you shouldn't say it!

Yixiao Naihe: Looks like you still have too little work on your hands if you have time to sit here chatting!

Mozhata: Even 996 has breaks, Third Brother. You can't exploit us like this.

Yu Gong Yi Shan: Exactly, Third Brother. You can't abuse child labor.

Monkey Wine: You two idiots got distracted by Third Brother just like that. What about the important part? Follower brothers, hurry up and tell us. I've even got my sunflower seeds ready.

Weiwei's Big Follower: This is actually a story about one case with two outcomes.

Weiwei's Second Follower: That's right. My Fourth Brother and your Third Brother saw Weiwei's valiant gameplay at the same time and in the same place.

Weiwei's Big Follower: My Fourth Brother was thrilled to find such worthy prey and wanted to learn PK from Senior Sister Weiwei! Senior Brother Xiao Nai, on the other hand, was smitten by her looks and wanted to marry Weiwei and bring her home!

Just then, Wang Yue returned from the library. When Huang Tao looked up and saw him, he quickly said, "Third Brother, Senior Brother Xiao Nai invited us to intern at his company over summer break. He specifically named you and asked us to bring you along!"

After hearing Huang Tao's words, Wang Yue felt a little uneasy. Why did he feel like someone had their eye on him? He was not ready to deal with a big shot like that yet. What should he do?

However, Wang Yue did not care much about that. It was not as if he had stolen someone's wife. He calmly said, "Tell him I'm bringing a plus-one."

The Boss glanced at Wang Yue and said disdainfully, "You're going to carry your girlfriend around wherever you go? Aren't you afraid Xiao Nai won't want you?"

Wang Yue looked at the Boss as if he were an idiot. "Turn your brain back on. Think carefully before you talk to me!"

The Boss understood instantly. "Brilliant! If you do that, Xiao Nai definitely won't be able to hold it against us for undermining him in front of Bei Weiwei's roommates."

Fourth Brother asked in confusion, "Why? How would bringing our Third Sister-in-law make Xiao Nai compromise?"

Second Brother patted Fourth Brother on the shoulder and sighed. "If your Third Sister-in-law goes, can Bei Weiwei possibly not go?"

By then, the Boss had already finished handling it. He looked up and said, "Xiao Nai has agreed. He even said he'll arrange someone specifically to look after us. Third Brother, your Beauty Trap really works."

Wang Yue smiled when he heard that. "Based on what you said about the game, we can tell Xiao Nai can hold a grudge sometimes. Now that we've done him a favor, we can go to his place without worrying."

The Boss and Second Brother exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Brilliant!!"

Fourth Brother watched his three older brothers perform, completely baffled. He shook his head and went back to playing his game.
