Chapter 5 Let's Get Married

Lu Yibei replied to Liu Jie:

"Yeah, we argued, we broke up, I couldn't keep chasing her."

He had just clicked send, and so fast, pa!

Liu Jie's WeChat call came shooting over:

"Are you serious, or are you just saying that because you're angry?"

Lu Yibei: "I really don't like lying to idiots."

Liu Jie: "Why?"

Liu Jie and Chen Dan chatted frequently, he should already know more or less about what happened at the KTV.

Sure enough, Liu Jie was silent for a while:

"Okay, it's good to break up, I also thought Zhou Zhou was a bit too much, how could she say those things? Bro Bei, I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart, it's only because you have a good temper, if I encountered something like that, I would definitely punch her."

Lu Yibei laughed: "Okay, with your build, Zhou Zhou would just rear kick you and you'd be lying there."

Liu Jie was 1.72 meters tall and weighed only 45 kilograms, as thin as a stick.

Of course, Zhou Zhou wasn't that strong, Lu Yibei was just joking.

"I'm standing up for you, even if I'm lying there, I'd still land a heavy punch, I can sneak attack."

Liu Jie didn't refute, as if to make Lu Yibei happy, he deliberately followed the conversation: "...Are you okay?"

"I'm okay, what could be wrong with me?" Lu Yibei said.

"You didn't reply to my messages for so long, I thought you were dead. If you didn't make a sound, I was going to gank you over there." Liu Jie said, paused, and then asked cautiously: "Are you sad? Want me to go out with you for a couple of drinks tonight?"

Lu Yibei was ashamed, he didn't reply to Bro Jie's messages not because he was too sad, but because he had food and drinks, and was happy to be a forgetful land.

Liu Jie also had the surname Liu, Liu Bei also had the surname Liu, so there was no problem calling him Shu.

But to prevent Bro Jie from being too sad, he didn't mention this.

Lu Yibei: "Are you at school?"

Liu Jie: "Yup."

Lu Yibei: "Is it just you in our dorm?"

Liu Jie: "I shouted several times in the group asking Fatty and Bamboo to return to school, but no one paid attention to me. Damn it, I'm all alone in the whole dorm, Bro Bei, hurry up and come over, I'm so bored."

Lu Yibei: "Sorry, I'm busy."

Liu Jie: "Busy with what?"

Lu Yibei had already logged into QQ on the computer and sent a message to Qingqian.

[All The Way North: Farming?]

[Qingqian: 1]

[Qingqian invites you to accept the call...]

Lu Yibei clicked to hang up.

[All The Way North: Wait.]

[Qingqian:?]

Lu Yibei: "That's it, I'm a little busy here, I'm going to sleep first."

Liu Jie: "?"

Lu Yibei smiled: "Thank you for your meticulous care, it's made my corpse warm. But don't worry, Bro Jie, I'm fine, I'll treat you to a big meal after school starts."

Liu Jie: "We're family, you're my good son, who's gonna care about you if I don't? You can call me anytime you need me, I'm bored in the dorm. Oh, and I hope it's Haidilao."

Lu Yibei: "Good son!"

Liu Jie: "Can I tell Bamboo and Fatty about what happened with you and Zhou Zhou, then?"

Bamboo refers to Zhao Xun.

Fatty is called Hao Zhangwen.

They were all roommates, with a shared father-son relationship.

Lu Yibei: "Tell them, it's not a big deal."

Liu Jie: "I'm going to find them to share in the event, you're busy first... no, you're sleeping first... no, which are you doing, sleeping or busy?"

"Busy sleeping."

Lu Yibei hung up Liu Jie's call.

He called Qingqian back.

[Qingqian refuses to accept your call.]

Lu Yibei:?

[Qingqian invites you to accept the call...]

Lu Yibei:??

Qingqian: "Misclicked."

Lu Yibei: "Oh."

Qingqian: "White Moonlight found you again?"

Lu Yibei: "Nope."

Qingqian: "Then why did you hang up on me?"

Lu Yibei: "Roommate, he's afraid that I, an empty-nest old man, will die alone in my apartment and no one will collect my corpse, so he's calling to console me."

Qingqian's tone softened a bit: "Hmm, that's good."

Lu Yibei smiled: "Who would have thought that I'm actually being fed so well by you."

Qingqian: "Who's feeding you?"

Lu Yibei: "What am I slurping right now? Isn't it your milk... cough cough, tea?"

Qingqian was icy: "Are you doing this on purpose?"

Lu Yibei: "No, help... I'm choking... cough cough cough, really choking, I gotta go find a tissue..."

Who could have thought he'd choke at this moment, making the break in the sentence so disgusting.

Qingqian: "You better be."

Lu Yibei: "Cough cough cough, uh..."

Qingqian: "Will you die if you drink a little slower?"

Lu Yibei: "Okay, okay cough cough... hmm... let's get on, let's get on."

"Hmm... Drink a little slower."

After Qingqian said that, an option to join the game popped up in the lower right corner of Lu Yibei's computer screen.

Lu Yibei could hear that Qingqian's voice was a little weary.

"Does your head still hurt?"

He asked while mining ore in Stardew Valley.

"I'm not going to die." Qingqian said faintly.

"If your head still hurts, rest for a while." Lu Yibei said.

"Like I need you to tell me." Qingqian said.

After a while, Qingqian called out coldly: "A Bei."

"Hmm."

"Let's get married."

"..."

Lu Yibei was like he'd been Q'ed by Garen, silent.

He even forgot to swallow the strawberry bo bo he had just slurped up.

"You've been always going after Abigail, right?"

Abigail was an NPC in this farming game, who you could marry if you increased her affection enough. Qingqian said faintly: "How about we try marrying player-to-player this time? We can get married directly, without even increasing affection."

Lu Yibei: "Oh oh... g-gaming, huh."

Qingqian chuckled, and seemed to feel better, but then she went back to being cold: "What did you think?"

"I thought... hmm, I'm going fishing." Lu Yibei evaded the question: "Damn, this fish has a really pouty mouth."

...

Chen Dan looked at the message Liu Jie sent her.

[Liu Jie: My Bro Bei has good character and is good-looking, doesn't touch eating, drinking, whoring, or gambling, and is proficient in blowing, pulling, playing, and singing, and is almost maxed out in all eighteen martial arts, but your friend is still treating him that way, if we really have to break up 99/100 reasons are because she brought it on herself, she's just messing around for attention.]

Hey, why are you talking like that? Chen Dan originally wanted to reply like that.

But she glanced in Zhou Zhou's direction again.

She was still scrolling through short videos with a straight face.

She was starting to think that Liu Jie had a point.

Zhou Zhou noticed that Chen Dan was looking at her:

"What are you looking at? Did Lu Yibei find you?"

She was a little pleased, had Lu Yibei wanted to try to save things by getting her to talk to him?

Even though Lu Yibei didn't have Chen Dan's WeChat, he had so many friends, he could always get it.

Hmph, she'd settle the score with him later for adding other girls on WeChat.

"No, it's just some work for welcoming new students." Chen Dan said, not outing Liu Jie as her informant, "By the way, Zhou Zhou, are you going to welcome the new students?"

"I'm not, it's too hot to die." Zhou Zhou snorted.

She leaned back again, and started watching short videos again.

After a while, she gnashed her teeth, even though she blacklisted Lu Yibei's WeChat, he still had ways to find her, right?

Text message, Alipay, Weibo, Douyin private message --

That guy, didn't he think of those channels?

He could die of being stupid!
