Chapter 174 - A Grave Mistake

A light flashed in his eyes as Lu Xun saw that his girlfriend was focusing on the game.

He knew well that Song Xing Xing would love to play games whenever she got bored. Each time that he made her wait for him to settle his work, this was what Song Xing Xing would love to do.

Just as he had expected. The moment he walked into the office, his girlfriend would be focused on the game. The music from the game blasted in the room and she did not realize that he had entered the room.

Lu Xun walked over quietly, wanting to peek at her phone screen and found out what is her ID name.

At this time, Song Xing Xing and her teammates had finally defeated the big boss. The reward that she had won through this mission was displayed on the screen. Her eyes widened when she saw that she had received rare items.

This was the gem that she had to collect to raise her might in the game. However, it was rare to win this gem after killing some monsters. If she wanted to gain this gem quickly, the only way was to spend a lot of money to buy some credits.

If she was not mistaken, the last time she checked, she only needed a few more stones before she could use them to upgrade…

As the thought came to her mind, Song Xing Xing quickly clicked on her bag to check on the items.

Song Xing Xing let out a gasp upon seeing the number of gems she had collected. This time, she had enough of them to increase her might!

Her heart was pounding with excitement. Song Xing Xing clicked on the gems, intending to use them. However, at this time… a shadow loomed from behind her. 

Song Xing Xing turned around and saw that Lu Xun was sneaking up on her. "Ah!" 

Lu Xun smiled, realizing that he had startled her. However, he had to suppress his disappointment knowing that he had failed to take a glimpse at her ID name again.

"You scared me." Song Xing Xing pouted.

This person was doing it on purpose! He always scared her like this!

Lu Xun laughed before he walked over and wrapped his arms around her shoulder. "You were too focus on your game that you did not even see me coming." Tilting his head to a side, Lu Xun pressed her lips on her cheek. "Have you waited long?"

Song Xing Xing pursed her lips, realizing that she could not put all blame on Lu Xun. After all, she was the one who was too focused on the game and did not notice him entering the room. 

Lu Xun stood up straight and walked over to his desk to put down the documents he was carrying. "Let's wait for a while. Assistant Bei Yuan will send over the food later."

"Mhm… I know." Now that her boyfriend had returned, Song Xing Xing turned around and planned to log off from her game. Just as she looked at her phone screen again, Song Xing Xing noticed that she had made a grave mistake. 

A loud gasp reverberated in the room.

Lu Xun looked up and ran over to her side immediately. "What's the matter? Are you hurt?" 

Song Xing Xing did not answer but continued to look at Lu Xun with a pitiful look in her eyes.

He gave her a look over to check on her. Even though he could see that there was nothing wrong with her, Lu Xun was not at ease. He raised his head to look at her face and saw eyes brimming with tears. "Xing Xing? What's wrong?" His heart lurched as he watched her lips quiver.

"I made a mistake." Song Xing Xing gripped the phone in her hand tightly. "I accidentally sold the gems. It took me a couple of months to collect them. Just now, I have gathered enough gems to increase my might but I accidentally clicked on the sell button."

Lu Xun stared at her in disbelief. He had thought that it was something major. However, he did not expect that his girlfriend would be upset because of something from the game.

Song Xing Xing recalled the reason she had accidentally pressed the wrong button and stared at Lu Xun in aggrieved. "If you did not scare me, I wouldn't accidentally sell them."

Lu Xun heaved a helpless sigh. He knew well that it was his fault as well. 

If he did not enter the room and snuck up behind his girlfriend, this thing would not happen. As someone who had played the game, Lu Xun knew well that some of the materials are hard to collect.

He had snuck around to peek at her ID name and because of that, she had made a mistake. Lu Xun felt guilty.

"Alright. Don't be sad." Lu Xun held her in his arms to coax her. He looked at her again and asked. "What material did you lose? Can't you buy them again?"

"It's too expensive."

Although the materials were rare, it was easy to obtain if you are willing to spend a lot of money.

General Huo for example, was one of the people who would not mind spending his money to buy those materials. Therefore, even though he did not spend a lot of time online in the game, he can still have a high might and be one of the high-ranked players on their server.

"How expensive can it be?" Lu Xun had taken over Player 99's account and had not spent his money in the game store. Therefore, he did not know how expensive the gem can be. "Since it is my fault, then let me pay for it."

Song Xing Xing looked at him in disbelief. She recalled that Lu Xu had never played this game and heaved a long sigh. "No. It's too expensive. Forget it. I'll just collect them again."

Her heart started to hurt as she thought about the time she had spent collecting the gems.

"No. I'll pay for it." Lu Xun took out his wallet and took out his card. "Xing Xing, it is my fault. I won't feel at ease if you continue to reject me." He shoved the black card over with a serious look on his face. "Just go ahead and use it."

Song Xing Xing hesitated. Her heart softened upon seeing his unwavering gaze. "Then, I'll just open the page. I don't want to know your credit card details. You help me to enter the details."

Lu Xun heaved a sigh. He watched as she tapped her fingers on the screen and stretched his hand to pat her head. His movement halted the moment Song Xing Xing stretched her hand to pass her phone to him.

It was at this time that he recalled that he had an ulterior motive: Her ID!

His heartbeat accelerated as he took the phone from her. Then, his gaze swept across the screen and finally stopped when he saw her ID name.

It was 'Not Your Little Star'.
