Travel · Guangzhou Arc (Five): Blue Star Online, You Really Spawned Those People for Me!

When Dania led a group of beautiful girls into the rice noodle roll shop, a three-way standoff was taking place at the table where Xiao Ling was.

Suisui and Roccia sat facing each other at the table, exchanging sharp words, their eyes meeting as if sparks flew.

Hajiling, on the other hand, was excluded from this confrontation. Looking around, she didn't know what to do and could only silently play with her old, beat-up phone.

Then, he heard a series of different footsteps approaching their table, and he instinctively turned his head to take a look, only to be stunned.

This commotion... it seems like they're up to no good.

Leaving aside Aemeath and Dania, who both looked angry, Xiao Ling immediately spotted Yangyang and Liang Yu standing behind them.

Yangyang wasn't surprised that Xiao Ling had traveled through time; after all, how could the younger sister escape when her older sister was here?! But Liang Yu, where did you come from?! And how did they know the three of us were here?!

No, Blue Star Online, you've already given me a bunch of freebies, chovy!

(You're already playing the hacked version and you still want to mess around? I think you're really in for a Hajiling, man!)

Now things are really messed up. The rivalry between Suisui and Roccia was already troublesome enough, but now four more girls have joined the fray, making the situation incredibly difficult, almost hellish.

No, I think Liang Yu is just here to watch the drama unfold.

"Boss, what kind of fillings do you have for rice noodle rolls?" Liang Yu quickly ran over to talk to the boss. She knew very well that as an outsider, she should be aware of her role in this situation, otherwise she might get caught in the crossfire.

"Um... what brings you all here?" Xiao Ling asked tentatively.

"A-Yu, you're being disobedient, aren't you?" Aemeath said with a forced smile, "You actually secretly ate with such a pretty girl behind our backs?"

"Yeah~ Ling really is fickle, she's forgotten all about us old flames now that she has a new one~" Dania said, feigning grievance.

Aemeath and Dania worked together perfectly, putting Hajiling in a very difficult position. No wonder they're best friends destined to be in the Implosion Team forever!

Xiao Ling looked left at Little Ai and right at Yaya, unsure of how to react, so she focused her attention on Yangyang behind them.

Yangyang said nothing, only giving him a gentle but distant smile, which immediately set off alarm bells in Hajiling's mind.

(True heartbreak isn't about making a scene...)

Hajiling's thoughts were clearer than ever before. The sentence he was about to say would directly determine the direction of the entire chaotic situation and even his personal safety.

After swallowing hard for a while, Xiao Ling carefully spoke.

"I said... since you're all here, why don't we have some rice noodle rolls together?"

"You know what, this rice noodle roll is actually pretty good."

Dania is like this; as long as Xiao Ling treats her to a delicious meal, most of the pent-up anger in her heart will dissipate on its own.

Moreover, she hadn't originally intended to make things too difficult for Hajiling, but given the current atmosphere, it would be a bit unreasonable not to give him a good scolding.

This was already her fifth plate of rice noodle rolls, and her appetite left Liang Yu, who was sitting next to her, speechless.

She always felt that Dania ate with an air of effortless ease, as if traversing mountains and rivers were nothing more than a bite or two, leaving her no choice but to admit defeat.

But why does the atmosphere at the dinner table feel so strange? Shouldn't the next part be a bloodbath? Why does everyone seem so calm?

Not only Liang Yu, but even the crowd that rushed over after hearing the news found it unbelievable. Xiao Ling's composure in the face of the women was a textbook example of a high-quality man. If the atmosphere hadn't been so inappropriate, someone would probably have knelt down and begged him to write a dating guide.

Yangyang held her chopsticks, having eaten half of the rice noodle roll in front of her, but she had no interest in eating anymore. Her eyes were downcast, her expression slightly gloomy, and she looked preoccupied.

She sighed almost imperceptibly, put down her chopsticks, and prepared to leave.

"Yangyang?" Suisui asked quickly when she saw her get up, her furrowed brows revealing an almost palpable worry. "Where are you going?"

"It's okay, sister, I... I just went out for some fresh air."

After giving her instructions, Yangyang silently walked away from the rice noodle roll shop, bringing this silent war to a close.

Ten seconds later, another person got up and left their seat.

"I'll go check. You can go back to the hotel or wander around the neighborhood after you've finished eating. Little Ai, keep an eye on Yaya; she has no sense of direction, I'm afraid she'll get lost."

After explaining what had happened, Xiao Ling immediately chased after him, giving no one else a chance to stop him.

Suisui watched Xiao Ling leave, feeling quite gratified.

Although he was somewhat different from the Rover she knew, his underlying nature was still the same.

Cough cough cough!

Suisui glanced at Dania, who was choking on rice noodle rolls, and handed her her cup of tea.

"Have some, don't choke," she said gently.

Dania didn't stand on ceremony, took the tea and gulped it down in one go.

Now that Xiao Ling is not here, Suisui is showing her elder's demeanor.

"I saw a few interesting shops on my way here. If you're interested, why don't we go together?"

A small arched bridge stood tall, a babbling brook flowed, and crowds thronged the area, but Yangyang clearly had no interest in appreciating such a beautiful scene.

"Big pig's trotter..." Yangyang muttered softly.

This phrase was a slang term she learned from this world. At the time, she didn't understand why food was used to describe a person, but now she understands.

This idiom is just the right way to vent your emotions when you both love and hate someone, without going too far.

"Hey, Yangyang, you're here."

Yangyang didn't turn around at all. She could sense from the Flow that someone was rushing toward her, so she wasn't surprised.

But it's also true that she doesn't want to talk to him. After all, he said such nice things back then, but now he's already having affairs with two women. Even someone as gentle as her would feel resentful.

After all, Yangyang, as the mysterious letter writer, didn't even know where to send her letters after arriving in this world. If it weren't for her sister adding Xiao Ling as a friend through the game, she wouldn't know when she would have been able to go.

Why didn't you ask for the address? Are you kidding me? This is the first time I've ever seen someone so eager to open a box for themselves.

When you finally find him and rush over to see him, he's already surrounded by beautiful women, even the girl you raised yourself. It would be a lie to say Yangyang isn't heartbroken.

Xiao Ling was well aware that, given Yangyang's reserved and introverted nature, she rarely had moments that could truly be described as anger, except when facing an enemy.

He walked to Yangyang's side and leaned against the bridge with her. She immediately took a step to the left, creating a small distance between them.

Hajiling: Oh no, how do I cheer up the sulking lady? Anyone have some advice?

Several days later, Xiao Ling faced this familiar scene once again, but this time he came prepared.

"That rice noodle roll place isn't good?"

"Good."

"Then why did you leave after only eating half a portion?"

I'm not hungry anymore.

Where shall we go for a walk?

"... No need."

After a series of three questions and answers, Xiao Ling had roughly figured out Yangyang's current situation.

She simply didn't want to talk to me, and even her replies were perfunctory. The reason was obvious: she was jealous.

Xiao Ling turned her head and glanced at Yangyang's current attire.

She wore a beige off-shoulder short-sleeved shirt, just like Suisui, but her lower body was covered by a blue and black pleated skirt. She also had a leg ring on her right leg that could tighten the flesh, and black sandals on her feet. She could be described as having both sweetness and coolness.

You look great today.

"... Hmm." Yangyang responded after a moment of silence.

Xiao Ling was now in a dilemma. Yangyang's lukewarm response was precisely what tormented him the most. Her tone was so calm that it revealed neither joy nor sorrow, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.

"Damn! I'm going all in!"

After making up his mind, he tentatively grasped Yangyang's soft, boneless hand. Hmm, it felt nice; it was hard to imagine that this was a hand that had wielded a sword.

The owner of the hand struggled symbolically for a couple of moments, then stopped resisting and let Hajiling rub it.

Looking at her expression, although she still didn't show much emotion, the area behind her ears was already showing signs of redness.

Xiao Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since this method was effective, they might as well be more aggressive.

So he wrapped his arms around Yangyang completely, and naturally rested his head on her shoulder.

"... What's wrong?" Yangyang finally couldn't keep a straight face, her pretty face turned slightly red, and her right cheek puffed out slightly.

"You look thinner? Have you been eating properly?"

"No way... I eat properly every day..."

"Eat more, so it'll be more comfortable for me to hold you~" Xiao Ling nuzzled Yangyang's cheek.

"Oh my gosh~ You really are! You look exactly like my sister...!"

Just as Yangyang and Xiao Ling were interacting intimately, someone secretly took a picture of this sweet moment with their phone.

"Phew... We're finally back to normal... Everyone's happy, everyone's happy." Liang Yu said with a sigh of relief as she looked at the photos on her phone.

Honestly, she was so anxious just now. If Xiao Ling hadn't handled even the smallest detail well, her heart as the head of the CP would have shattered into pieces.

However, the final result is good; at least the couple I shipped shouldn't have a bad ending.

Liang Yu smiled knowingly and nodded in satisfaction, then added the photo to her collection.
