In the evening, Song Xing Xing sat in her living room with Mr. Fluffball accompanying her at the side. She got bored after watching the drama on the television and ended up teasing the cat a little bit.
After playing around with his master for a while, the grey cat was finally annoyed. He jumped off the couch and walked away.
Song Xing Xing tried to call him a few times but was ignored. In the end, Song Xing Xing lay down on the couch and looked up at the ceiling.
Her lips pursed into a thin line as she was missing someone. But after they had returned from Y Cty, Lu Xun has been busy with his company and she did not want to disturb him.
Although they have seen each other for a while, Song Xing Xing had never inquired too much about his business. However, NEXT Group had many businesses under the name and Song Xing Xing did not doubt that Lu Xun would be busy managing each of them.
She really wanted to see him.
Song Xing Xing reached for her phone. She pondered over her decision to call him. However, she seemed to recall that Lu Xun had said that he needed to attend a meeting in the evening and he will call her once the meeting ended.
With a sigh, Song Xing Xing finally changed her mind and clicked on the game instead.
The moment she had entered the game, Song Xing Xing stood still in the middle of the city, not knowing what she should do.
In the morning, she had already completed her daily missions. Therefore, there were not many things that she could do. There were a few monsters that she could fight but she needed to increase her character's might before she could fight that monster.
At this time, she was a little lazy to enter the swamp and fight against the smaller monster to level up. In the end, Song Xing Xing decided to look at her garden and started collecting her harvest and turning them into food. She could use them to increase her HP and MP during a battle later.
Once she was done with her garden, Song Xing Xing teleported into Lu Xun's garden and took care of his harvest as well.
Because they are husband and wife in the game, Song Xing Xing was allowed to enter and leave his place as she pleased. She helped to plant a few high-grade seeds and sighed as she looked around.
It seemed that Lu Xun has not been paying too much attention to his garden. Other than a few things that she had instructed him to do, Lu Xun did not explore much about what he can do in his place.
With this, Song Xing Xing decided to help Lu Xun to decorate the place to make it better.
Song Xing Xing was about to log out of the game and headed to bed earlier when she noticed that the mail icon on top of the screen was blinking.
She clicked at the icon and found that it was only from the system, reminding her that she had leveled up in her cooking skills and later, she will be able to cook more high-grade food.
Her tongue clicked as she was expecting one of her friends to mail her and chat.
Song Xing Xing went into her friend list and was suddenly reminded of Huo Yun Chen's request when she saw the list of online friends. Song Xing Xing tapped on Shadow's name and sent him a message.
Not Your Little Star: Shadow, have you found a marriage partner to team up with?
Shadow: Not yet.
Not Your Little Star: I heard from General Huo that he had requested you to team up with him in the new marriage system.
The man's reply came back within a few seconds.
Shadow: Mhm... I am still thinking about it.
Not Your Little Star: You don't want to join him?
Shadow: That's not it. Just that... thinking about teaming up with him felt weird. You also know that he's a big shot in real life. I got anxious when I think about this.
Shadow is usually quiet in the game. Song Xing Xing felt that it would be hard for him to handle General Huo's fans.
She was also the type of person who find that those sorts of attention to be troublesome. Song Xing Xing thought that she would not be a good person to convince Shadow to team up with General Huo.
Because she had initially planned to team up with Huo Yun Chen and changed her mind afterward, Song Xing Xing felt a little guilty and thought that she should help Huo Yun Chen to find him a partner.
Song Xing Xing looked at her list of friends and thought that it would be better if Player 99 was still active. At least, she could set them up together.
But this person hasn't been online for months.
It made her wonder if Player 99 had left the game to develop his own. She wondered what kind of game would he develop?
After exchanging a few more words with Shadow, Song Xing Xing decided to call it off for the day.
She switched off the television and tidied up the living room a little bit.
Just then, her doorbell rang.
A frown appeared on her face as she wondered who would come to her apartment this late.
Mr. Fluffball reacted faster than her.
Within seconds, the grey cat ran out from his hiding place and stood still in front of the door.
"Meow!"
The cat stared at the door anxiously. Seeing that his master had not reacted, Mr. Fluffball went over to Song Xing Xing's side and started to rub his head on her legs, urging her to be quicker.
"Meow!"
The doorbell rang again.
Song Xing Xing walked over to the door and pressed the intercom, to look at the person outside her door.
Her eyes lit up with joy and Song Xing Xing turned to open the door.
The person she has been missing all night had suddenly appeared in front of her.
Song Xing Xing jumped up and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Lu Xun!"
Lu Xun staggered a few steps backward at the sudden impact.
He looked at the girl in his arms and sighed helplessly. As he lowered his head, Lu Xun could see something dangling on his right leg. It was the grey cat, Mr. Fluffball.
Can someone tell him why did the human and cat suddenly lunge into him the moment he appeared?
