Tang Yu did not respond to Yin Zhao-an's question but instead sighed heavily and murmured, "Disharmony, disharmony… So much disharmony...."

Yin Zhao-an didn't know what she could do in this situation, so she decided to give Tang Yu some time to herself. Hopefully, once her Tang-Tang recovered, she would no longer have such strange thoughts.

Personally, though, Yin Zhao-an felt that she was already quite gentle last night…

…

Leaving Tang Yu to her own thoughts, Yin Zhao-an turned on her laptop and logged into her game. Upon logging in, she found that Zhao Yu, who had been inactive for quite some time now, was online. Doctor Gao was also online, and the two boys seemed to be in the same party.

Yin Zhao-an privately messaged Zhao Yu, asking if he had time to raid a dungeon. However, even after some time had passed, she did not receive a reply from the other party. She also had no idea if he was busy or AFK.

With nothing to do, she opened a second game client and logged in to the game with her female character, forming a team with herself. Then, she completed some daily quests for experience points and money.

While Yin Zhao-an was questing, the chat box in the lower left corner shook. She initially thought that Zhao Yu had finally replied to her message, but it turned out to be a message from an unfamiliar player.

Looking at the player's ID, Yin Zhao-an couldn't help but wonder how this person ended up in her friend list. After all, she had set it so that only her friends could send her private messages. Out of curiosity, she clicked on the other party's detailed information.

Oh, right… It's Drunken Flower's Guild Leader…

Yin Zhao-an's head ached when she saw the ID "Drunk Flower."

Drunk Flower: Hello.

When you're just trying to make great content at tinyurl.com/37k7u89t.

It was a very standard greeting.

Yuyi Chang'an: Hello.

Yin Zhao-an responded in a similar manner. According to the other party's profile information, Drunk Flower was a female player.

Both were Bards, but Yin Zhao-an played a male character, while Drunk Flower played a female character.

To confirm her suspicion, Yin Zhao-an opened the power ranking and found that Drunk Flower was ranked first. She was also ranked first in the charm ranking and the spender's ranking…

But in the intimacy ranking... There was no record of Drunk Flower's name.

Drunk Flower: May I ask if you have a partner?

Yuyi Chang'an: Yes, I do.

Drunk Flower: …

Drunk Flower: I don't believe you.

Dammit! Why would I care if you believe me or not?!

Yin Zhao-an closed the chat box out of anger and decided to continue raising her intimacy with her little wife.

Speaking of intimacy, Yin Zhao-an decided to check her relationship status with her sub-account.

250?!

When did it reach such a high value? Is it because of all the daily quests I did? Seeing this intimacy value, Yin Zhao-an didn't think twice as she brought both her characters to the Marriage Pavilion.

Outside the Marriage Pavilion was the Moon Lord wearing a red and white robe. Yin Zhao-an triggered the dialogue quest, and after a few rounds of system dialogue, she finally saw the prompt.

"Player Yuyi Chang'an, do you wish to become Fated Partners with Player An'du Yusheng, promising to be together for life and never abandon each other?"

Yin Zhao-an quickly clicked on "Agree" and soon saw a task dialogue box on the Heavenly Dancer's side.

"Player An'du Yusheng, do you want to accept the love proposal of Player Yuyi Chang'an and become Fated Partners with him, promising to be together for life and never abandon each other?"

I do, I do, Yin Zhao-an inwardly answered on Tang Yu's behalf and clicked "Agree."

Then, the interface underwent a tremendous change. The two characters, one pink and one white, gradually floated up, surrounded by colorful birds, and entered the Marriage Pavilion. The NPC matchmaker held two red strings in her hand, winding them around the characters' fingers a few times before tying them together.

The interface animation was not over yet. The characters' clothes gradually turned into festive bright red when the red strings were tied around their fingers. The pink tassels in the Heavenly Dancer's hair became red agate hairpins, and even her makeup changed. Then, a thin layer of red veil appeared over her face, and it gradually unfurled to her feet.

Yin Zhao-an couldn't stop taking screenshots, her mind stunned by this scene. The game experience was amazing, especially the 3D scene construction. It really looked like she had entered a wedding room. Then, the two characters gazed at each other with tender eyes, embraced, and kissed…

Yin Zhao-an watched the entire scene with mesmerized eyes, unaware of the blush on her face. When the animation ended, a server-wide announcement appeared on the game interface, saying, "Congratulations to Players Yuyi Chang'an and An'du Yusheng for becoming the 520th couple on this server. May your love be as endless as time itself and your affection unyielding."

Suddenly, the world channel exploded into an uproar.

Player 1: Fuck! Who are these two? How is their timing so good?!

Player 2: Sob, sob. We were so close to being the 520th couple, but someone beat us to it.

Player 3: Another top-10 player has been kidnapped! Why can't I have a similar encounter? Are any top 10 players thinking about getting a divorce? I can be your backup option!

Yin Zhao-an didn't pay attention to the world channel as she was staring at her "wedding photo" while giggling like a fool.

On the screen was a vintage scroll, with two characters standing together on the left and right sides of the scroll, and a red line still tied to their fingertips.

Tang Yu was extremely depressed, and hearing the culprit responsible for her inability to get out of bed laughing so happily made her even more depressed.

"An-An." A cold and clear voice echoed in the quiet room.

Although Yin Zhao-an was wearing headphones, she quickly caught Tang Yu's voice. Immediately, she took off her headphones and threw her computer aside. Then, she turned to Tang Yu and earnestly asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Yu grew a little embarrassed when she saw how seriously Yin Zhao-an had responded. In reality, she didn't have anything to say. She was just bored and felt like calling Yin Zhao-an.

"I... I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Huh? Where are you feeling uncomfortable?" Yin Zhao-an anxiously got up from the ground and sat next to Tang Yu, and her face naturally showed worry and panic.

Tang Yu: "My heart."

Yin Zhao-an: "..."

The room fell into an awkward silence. After biting her lower lip and hesitating for a moment, Tang Yu asked a question that had been troubling her this entire time: "I've heard that once a girl loses her most precious thing, she also loses her attraction to others. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yin Zhao-an furrowed her brows and pondered Tang Yu's words, sensing two possible meanings in them.

The first way she interpreted those words was: "Now that I've given you my most precious thing, will you still like me as much as before?"

The second way was: "I've already lost my most precious thing. If you reject me, maybe no one will ever want me again."

Both interpretations sound so tragic…

Yin Zhao-an couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness as she looked at the nervous and expectant expression in Tang Yu's eyes. She felt like a heinous thief who had stolen someone's treasure and inadvertently taken their heart as well.

"Where did you hear that?" Yin Zhao-an leaned down and kissed Tang Yu's forehead, her eyes shimmering like a gentle and clear pool of water as they reflected Tang Yu's face. "That statement is incorrect. At the very least, it doesn't hold for our relationship. I like you; I like everything about you, so I naturally want to be more intimate with you, not just for the sake of physical contact."

As she spoke, Yin Zhao-an remembered how Tang Yu shed tears like rain when she accepted her. Smiling, she continued, "As I said before, if you don't want me to touch you, we can have a platonic relationship. I'm willing to do that as long as it's you."

This gentle talk eased Tang Yu's palpitating heart. Then, she opened her arms to Yin Zhao-an, welcoming her with an innocent expression.

Yin Zhao-an stopped breathing momentarily before she softly chuckled and pulled her beloved Tang-Tang into a tight embrace.

…

Zhao Yu sat cross-legged on the sofa, staring wide-eyed at the scrolling well-wishes on the game's world page. Then, he quickly swallowed the scallion pancake he had just bought and exclaimed:

"What the hell, Brother Zhao actually found a partner in game? And they even couple IDs? That's not like her at all!"

However, despite his disbelief, Zhao Yu still decided to send his congratulations to Yin Zhao-an before asking her how she met her partner. However, as soon as he opened his chat box with Yin Zhao-an, he found that Yin Zhao-an had messaged him while he was out buying breakfast.

Creator: I went out just now, so I just saw your message.

Creator: I didn't expect you to find love in the game so quickly, Brother Zhao. Did you find the other party in a guild?

After sending the message, Zhao Yu didn't get a reply. However, he wasn't in a hurry and continued to munch on the warm scallion pancake.
