Important Note: Silky Moonâs name was a mistranslation on my part. Sorry! >>.
"Eh? Why would there be a notice board for > here? I havenât heard anything about a new event," Jiang Weiwei whispered to herself as she looked at the notice board.
Shen Jingbing glanced at her and asked, "You play this game?"
"Yeah. Itâs been popular for the past few years, so of course Iâd play it. On top of that, Iâm a rising star in the game!"
Shen Jingbin suddenly felt that she looked very familiar upon noticing the way she tilted her chin upwards and made her proclamation, brimming with confidence. "Can you tell me what your in-game name is?" Shen Jingbin asked.
"Sure, my in-game name is Slight Chill. You definitely have to look for me if you ever decide to play, Miss Shen! Iâll power level you!"
What the f*ck!?
The two Shen siblings simultaneously choked on their saliva. Shen Jingchen in particular kept coughing, to the point where his face was flushed a deep red.
Zhao Chengning couldnât help but reach out a hand to help him settle down. "You alright?"
Shen Jingchen gave a small wave of his hand to show that he was alright while he gazed fixedly at Jiang Weiweiâs reflection in the rearview mirror.
Holy shit! Slight Chill was actually Jiang Weiwei! He totally wasnât expecting this!
Slight Chill wasnât all that tall in the game and had the face of a loli. On the other hand, a conservative estimate put Jiang Weiweiâs height at around 170cm. Her figure was akin to that of a beautiful flower vase that could take anyoneâs breath away with just a glance. Actually, apart from the slight bit of resemblance that they shared when they tilted their chins upwards in arrogance, there were practically no similarities between the two of them!
It wasnât just their appearances either, even their personalities were were worlds apart!
Slight Chill had a rather stubborn personality and a sharp tongue. Jiang Weiwei, on the other hand, gave the siblings a completely different impression. If one were to say that Slight Chill was a spoilt young lady, then Jiang Weiwei would definitely be a person who only had her looks going for her... in other words, she was a bimbo.
There was far too much of a difference between the two of them. In fact, it was almost as if she was suffering from split personality disorder. They really couldnât be blamed for not being able to make the connection because they were just that different!
Slight Chill found the Shen siblingsâ exaggerated reactions a little odd and asked, "Eh, whatâs with your reactions? Do you guys play > as well?"
The siblings shared a moment of tacit understanding before they vehemently shook their heads together and declared, "No!"
Crestfallen, Jiang Weiwei replied, "What a pity. But really, the gameâs pretty fun to play. You guys should give it a try."
Feeling guilty, the two siblings gave a few hollow laughs in return.
By this time, the car had pulled up in front of the hotelâs entrance. Zhao Chengning passed his keys over to one of the valets by the entrance and the four of them entered the hotel.
The top floor of the hotel housed a garden restaurant. After leading the group to the lift lobby, Jiang Weiwei pulled out her phone and gave the hotelâs manager a call while they waited for the lift. Shen Jingchen stood in the middle of the group, while Zhao Chengning and Shen Jingbin stood side by side, bringing up the rear.
Shen Jingbin tugged at the corners of Zhao Chengningâs clothes and squeaked out a question, "Do you play it too?"
Ever since sheâd found out that Jiang Weiwei played >, Shen Jingbin suddenly realised that Zhao Chengning actually looked pretty familiar. In fact, he appeared to be increasingly familiar the more she looked at him. Those eyes of his in particular were exactly the same as the ones she remembered.
A look of confusion floated up to Zhao Chengningâs face as he asked, "What game?"
">."
Zhao Chengning lowered his head and glanced at her. "Do I look like the type of person who plays games?"
Shen Jingbin shook her head and honestly replied, "No, you look like an elite who only knows how to work."
"Thanks for the compliment."
"Was that a compliment?"
"Any assessment of yours is a compliment to me."
"..."
What should I do?! My ears are burning up!
