Unexpected romance

At 8 PM, Shang appeared in the game on time, accompanied by Yu Sheng, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"You're here?" Shang sensed a different tone in Yu Sheng's reply.

"Okay, everything's ready. What's next?" Shang was still a newbie on the path of becoming a couple and didn't know the specific procedures.

"Just book a party room, and you're good to go! It's an easy task!"

Upon seeing Yu Sheng's reply, Shang silently returned to the channel interface. After much difficulty, he finally found the interface and opened a room, only to discover that this was not an ordinary room. Then came the waiting, and the timeline seemed to stretch out indefinitely.

Yu Sheng finally appeared in the room, accompanied by a group of family friends. He didn't recognize them, except for "Nian" and "Qiqi"!

"Hey sis, you're out of the single life!" a female player teased in front of the screen.

Yu Sheng also sent a shy emoji, which was rare for her.

Once everyone has arrived, the mission officially begins. Each party card grants three attempts, with the difficulty decreasing each time. However, every player hopes to pass on their first try, and Shang agrees.

The game task requires players to get five hearts in a row, which can be done 15 times, and the score needs to reach more than 20. For Shang and Yu Sheng, the score and the total number of hearts are not a problem. The only thing that Shang is not sure about is getting five hearts in a row.

The game finally started. As a seasoned player of this game, Shang was so nervous that he adjusted his posture three or four times before finally getting into position and ready to start. However, mistakes kept happening. The game's maximum speed is 284, while the speed of this task is only a little over 100. This should have been no problem for Shang, who can jump more than 200. But things didn't go as planned. Due to excessive nervousness, Shang forgot how to press the button and kept missing. Meanwhile, other players were also commenting on the screen.

"A master like him didn't even use Photoshop!"

He was already nervous, so he couldn't jump well at all, and his first attempt was a failure.

On the second attempt, an accident occurred before it even started.

The ball of light on the roller is stuck there and won't move.

"..." Well, okay, Shang sent a helpless emoji.

"Did the ball get stuck?"

Seeing the words on the screen, Shang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Someone suggested quitting and restarting, saying the heart count would still be there. So Shang quit and came back in, only to find that he had five hearts back to the same score. Normally, the second time should have resulted in a two-heart drop, and the last time it dropped again. However, faced with this unexpected situation, the two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep going.

When the song ended, both of them passed with a perfect score, except for one where they were tied for a perfect score but were two hearts short.

"Did it fail?" In front of the screen, Shang had already prepared to buy a new card, but Lady Luck unexpectedly smiled upon them, and a message above their heads congratulated them on successfully becoming a couple.

Congratulations filled every corner of the room, to the most beautiful bride and the most handsome bride.

The big screen forever captured this happy moment.

After the event concluded, most of the people in the room had left, leaving only Shang and Yu Sheng.

"I'm so happy tonight! This is the most meaningful gift I've received the day before Valentine's Day!"

"Me too!" Shang sat in front of the computer and silently replied with a few words.

"Let's go, my sister is waiting for us!" Yu Sheng sent a few words and left, leaving Shang alone in the room. He stared at his game character on the screen in front of the computer and fell into a brief moment of contemplation until Yu Sheng's reminder message popped up on the screen.

Upon entering the room, the best seats were reserved for Shang and Yu Sheng. The two stood at the very front, and occasionally blessings would appear on the screen, while Nian would also send a few teasing emojis.

"We're family now!"

Upon seeing these heartwarming words, Shang gave a silly smile.

When dancing, Shang only jumps once during the "explosion" animation to complete the task. (Note that there are many modes for dancing, but the explosion always occurs between the ninth and tenth keys. If you jump the eleventh key, there will be a final big "explosion".)

"So cool!"

Each time the explosion occurred, those who were hit received applause, while Shang received the love of someone in the crowd. He was a special presence, and it was because of this that he slowly began to dance the entire song.

"After we get married, we have to write love letters every time we complete a mission. Don't you find it troublesome?" Yu Sheng asked Shang in their room.

"No, it's what I should do. By the way, is there anything else I need to prepare? Should we buy a ring? And a registration card, and..."

"I don't need the ring anymore, some are free. I can buy a registration card, we need to start planting flowers!" Yu Sheng seemed very happy.

"Don't you find gardening troublesome? Because you have to check on it regularly every day!"

"No!" Shang's words were few, but sincere.

"What others have, you should have too. Rings, registration cards, matching outfits—you can't be missing any of these. Go pick them out, and send me the link when you're done!" After replying, Shang opened Taobao and started searching for matching outfits for that game. He looked for a long time but still couldn't choose one because he didn't know if his partner would like what he picked.

Happiness often happens unexpectedly. Yu Sheng suddenly sent a WeChat message with a beautiful four-leaf clover ring.

"Wedding ring?" Shang murmured, picking up his phone.

"Do you like this?" Yu Sheng sent a waiting emoji in the X message.

"It looks great, I like it, I'll buy it!"

"No need, I can exchange this with points. You can have it if you like it!" From that moment on, a subtle change began to occur in Shang's heart.

"Registration certificates used to be very cheap, but now they're such a rip-off!" Yu Sheng posted a sighing emoji.

"It's okay, as long as you like it, go pick one out and let me know when you're done!" Shang replied briefly.

"Okay, I'll tell you later!"

And they waited for an entire afternoon.

"I'm all set!" Yu Sheng sent a photo of a rainbow heart registration card, along with a couple's outfit she had chosen.

"Hmm!" Shang was quick and finished everything in no time. The couple's outfits matched well, and the four-leaf clover rings sparkling on their heads were also very beautiful. But what Shang liked most was the short love quote on the registration card, and his attention was completely focused on the contents of the registration card.

"I'm logging off, see you tonight!" Yu Sheng logged off after replying in the game. Shang watched for a while and decided to wait for her there. He waited until after 8 p.m. The moment she returned, Shang sent her a private message.

"You've come!" It was like lovers who hadn't seen each other for years, their ordinary words filled with deep longing.

"Yes, the flowers are blooming. Let's go pick them!" Yu Sheng said and left the room. Shang followed her to their private garden without hesitation.

A garden full of roses—this was Yu Sheng's first gift to Shang. He kept it all quietly in his heart, accompanying her as they harvested the first fruit of their love.
