Online game: Basic attacks increase strength; the greater the power, the more powerful it is!

"Going to buy groceries, and also a water pipe connector."

Junheng's voice was very soft, and his palm continued to pat her back gently.

"I was planning to cook you a nice meal, but when I got to the entrance of the complex, I ran into that scumbag."

Jiang Mingyue trembled slightly but remained silent.

"I immediately sensed something was wrong and turned back."

Junheng answered casually, without saying anything more.

Jiang Mingyue was silent for a while, then suddenly punched his back hard.

"You brat...you scared me to death..."

"I thought...I thought..."

She couldn't continue.

Jun Heng smiled and hugged her even tighter.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

"No one can bully you."

Jiang Mingyue didn't speak, burying her face even deeper.

After a long while, she suddenly felt a little scared and said:

"Did you hit him too hard just now?"

"What if he calls the police?"

"He won't."

Junheng's tone was resolute.

"That kind of person is most afraid of things getting out of hand."

"Besides, I paid for the medical expenses, so he was in the wrong and didn't dare to make a fuss."

Jiang Mingyue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found herself speechless.

Looking at Junheng, she suddenly realized that the child she had raised had truly grown up.

It's big enough... to protect her.

"Where did you get so much money?"

She suddenly remembered how decisive Junheng had been when he transferred the money earlier.

Fifty thousand yuan is no small sum for a family like theirs that is struggling to make ends meet.

Earned in the game.

Junheng smiled, took out his phone from his pocket, opened the bank's text message, and handed it to her.

"Look."

Jiang Mingyue took the phone, her eyes widened, and her mouth formed an "O".

"One, over a million?!"

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?!"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

She rubbed her eyes and looked at it again.

Then she raised her head and looked at Jun Heng with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

"You...you really awakened that so-called Super Overlord-level talent?"

"uh-huh."

"You...you earned 1.5 million in one day?"

"almost."

"you……"

Jiang Mingyue opened her mouth, but finally managed to utter a sentence:

"Are you even human?"

Junheng was amused by her expression and reached out to ruffle her hair.

"Alright, stop thinking about it so much."

"We'll stay at a hotel tonight, and move to a nicer place tomorrow."

"We'll buy two more of the best gaming pods then, and we'll make money together in the game."

"Now, can I say I'll take care of you?"

Jiang Mingyue stared blankly at Jun Heng, her eyes beginning to redden again.

She lowered her head, sniffed hard, and her voice was choked with emotion.

"You brat...do you even know...?"

"What you're saying... could easily be misunderstood..."

Jun Heng looked at her slightly reddened ear tips and a smile appeared on his lips.

"What's the misunderstanding?"

"You misunderstood and thought I liked you."

His voice was soft, yet it was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples in Jiang Mingyue's heart.

Jiang Mingyue suddenly raised her head, staring at him with flushed cheeks.

"What...what nonsense are you spouting!"

"I'm your aunt!"

"Nine years older than you!"

"you……"

"I know."

Jun Heng interrupted her with a smile, his eyes so tender they seemed to overflow with affection.

"But so what?"

Jiang Mingyue opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything.

My heart was pounding wildly in my chest, as if it were about to jump out of my throat.

She turned her head away, not daring to look into Jun Heng's eyes again.

"You brat...stop fooling around..."

Her voice was very soft, so soft that almost only she could hear it.

Jun Heng didn't say anything more, but stood up and extended his hand to her.

"Let's go, I'll take you to get something good to eat."

"Let's celebrate, we've struck it rich today!"

Jiang Mingyue looked at the hand extended towards her, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.

His hands were large and warm, carrying a reassuring strength.

However, as she stood up, the coat that Junheng had draped over her slipped off.

In an instant, a delicate expanse of white filled Jun Heng's vision.

Junheng's throat went dry, and he swallowed almost imperceptibly.

"Ah! Don't look!"

Jiang Mingyue's face flushed instantly, and she hurriedly squatted down to cover her chest.

Seeing Jiang Mingyue's flustered appearance, Jun Heng teased her.

"What, it's not like you haven't seen it before."

"you!"

Jiang Haiyue paused, his mind replaying the scene of the burst water pipe from yesterday.

Her cheeks turned even redder.

"Haha, okay, go change your clothes."

Hearing Jun Heng's laughter, which sounded like a triumphant smirk, Jiang Haiyue glared at him fiercely.

When Jiang Mingyue came out after changing her clothes, Jun Heng was already waiting at the door.

She was wearing a simple white dress, and her long hair was draped over her shoulders.

Her eyes were still slightly red, but she had already regained her usual radiance.

"Let's go."

Jun Heng smiled and naturally extended his hand.

Jiang Mingyue hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and quickly walked past him.

Jun Heng didn't mind and followed behind her.

As night deepened, streetlights lit up one by one.

The two walked side by side on the sidewalk, neither of them speaking.

The early summer evening breeze, carrying the fragrance of gardenias, ruffled Jiang Mingyue's hair and brushed past Jun Heng's nose.

"What would you like to eat?"

Jun Heng was the first to break the silence.

"casual."

"Let's go eat hot pot then."

"At this time, you probably want to eat something spicy, right?"

Jiang Mingyue paused slightly and glanced at him sideways.

How did you know?

Jun Heng smiled but did not answer.

How could he not know?

In her previous life, whenever Jiang Mingyue was in a bad mood, she would drag him out to eat spicy hot pot.

It was so spicy that I was sweating profusely and tears were streaming down my face.

Those small, everyday moments, after they were lost, became his most precious memories when he dreamt of them in the dead of night.

"Let's go, I know a good shop up ahead."

He naturally took her hand and led her forward.

Jiang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and tried to pull her hand back.

But she found that Junheng's strength was just right, neither letting her break free nor causing her pain.

"you……"

"Stop fooling around, we're crossing the street."

Junheng pointed to the zebra crossing ahead, where the light was green.

Jiang Mingyue bit her lip, but in the end, she let him lead her and quickly crossed the road.

The hot pot restaurant was bustling with activity and filled with the sounds of people.

Whether it was because she was frightened or because Jun Heng had made a fortune, Jiang Mingyue had a great appetite and ate with extra relish.

After finishing their meal, the two found a budget hotel nearby and checked in.

When Jiang Mingyue came out of the shower, her hair was still wet and draped over her shoulders. She looked much more relaxed.

She sat on the edge of the bed, drying her hair with a towel, her gaze occasionally glancing at Junheng sitting on the other bed.

"Are you really planning to move tomorrow?"

"Yes, I've already looked at a few properties online, and I'll go see them first thing tomorrow morning."

Jun Heng didn't even look up, his finger swiping across his phone, browsing information on housing rental platforms.

"I plan to rent a villa first; the environment is quiet and security is good."

"Then save up some money and buy it directly."

Jiang Mingyue paused in drying her hair, turned her head to look at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"A villa? Are you serious?"

"certainly."

Junheng put down his phone and leaned against the headboard.

Jiang Mingyue opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she only sighed softly.

"Jun Heng..."

"Um?"

"Thank you."

Her voice was very soft, with a barely perceptible sob.

Jun Heng raised his head, looked at her slightly reddened eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Don't thank me, we're like family."

"Besides, I said I would take care of you."

Jiang Mingyue's cheeks flushed slightly, and she spat out, "No manners!"

But the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.

The two chatted for a while longer before Jiang Mingyue lay down to prepare for sleep.

Exhausted by what happened today, she quickly fell asleep.

Listening to her even breathing, Jun Heng slowly sat up and glanced at the time.

He quietly picked up the gaming helmet, walked to a chair in the corner of the room, sat down, and put on the helmet.

Log in to the game.
