Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

It’s not that the relationship between the heroes is still as rigid as it was in the previous civilization, it’s simply because they are responsible for work that usually doesn’t allow them to get together.

Just like Qianjie himself, the work he does is basically the demolition and reconstruction of urban ruins. It seems to be hard work, but in fact it is relatively easy in Yingjie, only slightly more tiring than the gatekeeper Pado.

But for someone like Fu Hua, who was always out and about, it was normal for her to not return to the Golden Courtyard for ten days or half a month. Originally, when Alicia was free, she would try to get everyone together, but now that she was busy, everyone was back to eating their own food.

At this time, Gretchen and Eden were also eating in the restaurant.

Aponia would have dined with Grace, but since she took over the memorial hall, like Fu Hua, she could not return to the Golden Courtyard more than a few times every ten days or half a month.

Seeing Kevin and Dr. Mei return, Eden and Grace greeted them and casually chatted about their vacation at the arcade. While Dr. Mei and Eden chatted, Kevin followed Wang Xuanqiao's instructions and opened the terminal to search for "One Punch Man"...

Dr. Mei was sitting next to him. When he heard the sound in the terminal, he subconsciously turned his head to take a look.

There was a shiny bald head on the terminal screen.

Dr. Mei immediately thought of something, was stunned, and touched his hair casually.

"What is Kevin (Uncle) looking at?" Eden and Gracie also heard the sound and asked him.

"It's a work recommended by the store manager. He said that the reward Mei received could..."

Before Kevin could finish his words, Dr. Mei covered his mouth.

"It's just a reference." Dr. Mei smiled at Eden and Gretchen. "It can be considered as borrowing a little imagination from the creator of this work."

For a moment, only Teacher Saitama in the animation was still making sounds.

Seeing that Eden and Grace were interested, Dr. Mei simply asked Kevin to turn on the projection function and project the animation above the dining table so that everyone could watch it together.

After cleaning up the restaurant and kitchen, Wang Xuanqiao saw that there were no customers coming, so he prepared to go out and see if he could buy supplies for open-air barbecues, such as grills.

He asked Huang Quan if she wanted to go out with him. Huang Quan thought about it and decided to stay in the store to help watch the door. She said that she was carrying a knife and it was not suitable for her to walk on such a peaceful street.

Wang Xuanqiao certainly didn't force it, because Huang Quan wasn't referring to the knife in his hand. If he couldn't figure it out, being called unromantic would be the least of his worries.

He went out on his own, blending effortlessly into the increasingly lively night market. But Huang Quan, sitting by the window, could still spot his figure in the crowd; his color was still clearly visible amidst the dazzling neon lights.

On the way, Wang Xuanqiao received a message from Qiana. She had finally made it through a long day and could rest.

Qi Maomao: Manager! How's the rooftop barbecue we talked about today?

Gamer: Everything's ready, except the grill. I'm shopping for it now, but it'll probably be tomorrow at the earliest.

Qi Maomao: Great! Then I won’t rest tonight and will work on my homework all night. Maybe I can finish it before tomorrow!

The otaku who plays games: Great, you're ambitious! It doesn't matter if you can't finish it, I'll just fight Theresa for it when the time comes.

Qi Maomao: No, no, no, manager, if you say that, I may not be able to finish it.

Qi Maomao: I will use my own ability to convince my aunt to let me go to the game hall!

The otaku who plays games: [Great][Great][Great]

Otaku who plays games: Waiting for your good news.

After Wang Xuanqiao finished chatting with Kiana, he continued searching the streets for barbecue supplies. As he walked and wandered, his possessions gradually grew so numerous that they were practically unstorable. Seeing that he still had to move something large like a barbecue grill, Wang Xuanqiao simply called a car to deliver everything to the back door of the arcade.

After dealing with the supplies, Wang Xuanqiao prepared to go back and wait for the delivery.

At this time, several more private messages came.

Wang Xuanqiao had no choice but to take out the terminal again to see who would look for him at this time.

There was actually more than one person sending the message. Wang Xuanqiao took a quick look and saw three people in total—Xing, Mockingbird, and Raiden Mei.

The news about Xing was relatively simple. Jing Yuan sent an invitation to the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony to the Xingkong Train. The train crew agreed to the invitation to attend the event. However, since the train had two temporary plans at the same time, it could only send three little ones to participate in the Xianzhou event.

Ji Zi and Walter, following Black Tower's lead, were to travel to the Jinlun Deepening Territory to help Ruan Mei search for the remains of the ancient beast. Meanwhile, Liu Ying, due to her status as a former Star Core Hunter, was temporarily confined to the train, preventing her from traveling to the Luofu Immortal Boat.

Xing's message was straightforward: she wanted to get Wang Xuanqiao to go on the Immortal Boat together. However, she ended with an emoji of a soda and bean juice toast, which undoubtedly revealed her slightly sinister nature.

Mockingbird's announcement was more official. She explained that her family and company had officially begun collaborating on the development of Pinocchio, and that they were planning to capitalize on the popularity of the Harmony Festival by staging a more lively event as promotional material. Mockingbird wanted to ask him, a Pinocchio shareholder, if he had any thoughts on the planned event.

Finally, there is news about Mei Raiden.

——The author has something to say——

As usual, I share the fun of barrage book reviews 233

I remember complaining to everyone before about how some people were complaining that our Aqiaoxu's wishes were low-brow, saying that instead of asking for an arcade with fully immersive equipment, they'd rather have the ability to freely travel through the world, blah blah blah. Fortunately, these people are a minority, with only one or two exceptions to this rule since the book was published.

But I didn't expect another one to pop up yesterday, and this time the individual's speech was even more interesting: full immersion games are all fake, how can they be real and interesting, it is better to have the ability to travel through the world.

puff-

I can only say that those who can make such remarks have never understood the key points from beginning to end, and are even worse than those who inexplicably dislike our Aqiao's high level of participation in the plot (Le

Volume 202: : Tonight's Starry Sky

Compared to the messages of Xing and Mockingbird, the meaning of Raiden Mei is much more concise and clear.

She only sent one sentence -

Wuhui Lei Guang: Manager, there are so many stars in the night sky tonight, do you want to come and see?

Wang Xuanqiao burst into laughter after reading this. If we were to talk about the night, how could we only mention the stars and not the moon? Could it be because the moon has...really?

Although the excuse was not that the cat could do a backflip or the duck could do a Thomas turn, it was Mei Raiden who took the initiative to invite him in her personal capacity, so Wang Xuanqiao thought he might as well go.

You can't really make someone introverted for half their life with a moment of rejection, right?

So Wang Xuanqiao replied to Raiden Meiyi, saying he would be there in a bit and asking her to leave the door open for him. Soon after, Raiden Meiyi sent a short "OK," which inexplicably had a hint of the underworld.

On the other side of the chat box, Mei Raiden, who had changed into pajamas, was sitting in the dim living room with the lights off. The soft light from the terminal screen shone on her face, trying to dig out the blush from the darkness.

Mei Raiden did not let the terminal succeed. She suddenly hugged the terminal in her arms, as if this could suppress her gradually accelerating heartbeat.

But, but...what if Bronya finds out?

Mei Raiden suddenly looked towards Bronya's room. Although the door was closed, a bright light still shone through the gap at the bottom of the door, and it was obvious that the owner of the room had not yet fallen asleep.

Although the night was gradually deepening, it was still a bit early for Bronya to go to bed. She usually played games until midnight, and recently she had taken it upon herself to learn how to make games in her dorm room, and her late nights had reached an extreme level.

Oh no! There's a high chance of Bronya finding out!

No, calm down, Raiden Mei!

Mei Raiden took a deep breath and tried hard to calm her inner emotions.

It's just, just looking at the stars. The island where St. Freya Academy is located is far away from the city, and the night sky is clear, perfect for admiring thousands of stars. Even if Bronya saw it, it would only add one more person!

Add, add one more person? Raiden Mei suddenly thought of something and her face turned even redder.

Otherwise, why not talk to Bronya first?

Tell her... not to go out at night or something?

How could it not come out!

Mei Raiden covered her face, feeling that her brain must be full of blood to come up with such a stupid countermeasure. Soon, she felt a little regretful for inviting him to the dormitory on impulse.

But I can't not invite her over. If I go there on my own initiative, then wouldn't I... bump into Kiana?

Not to mention that it is possible that Miss Huang Quan is there.

Mei Raiden thought about it for a long time, and finally could only sigh softly. She brought the terminal to her face and woke it up, wanting to see if there was any further text in the chat box.

At this moment, a new message really popped up in Wang Xuanqiao's dialog box.

Otaku playing games: Come on, open the door.

Mei Raiden jumped up from the sofa in the living room as if she had been electrocuted, and walked towards her room in a panic.

Yes, yes! We can't go outside the room. Let the manager come inside first! Raiden Mei made up her mind and quickly walked back to her room. She carefully closed the door and confirmed the request to open the door.

As soon as Wang Xuanqiao walked out, he found something wrong.

What about watching the stars? You're not outdoors? Isn't this your own room? Are you really not going to perform?

"you......"

Wang Xuanqiao was about to ask when Lei Dian Mei stepped forward and covered his mouth with both hands.

The mellow fragrance of shower gel wafted over, and it seemed that Mei Raiden had just finished taking a shower.

But the same goes for Wang Xuanqiao, everyone came prepared.

"Bronya is still here." Mei Raiden lowered her voice and said to Wang Xuanqiao while letting go of her hand.

This statement truly left Wang Xuanqiao in a state of confusion. How could a simple act of stargazing cause such a strong feeling of secrecy? Even if they truly wanted to talk further, shouldn't they have set up the venue first to ensure no one would interrupt?

"Then open the window." Wang Xuanqiao could only speak to Mei Lei Dian in a low voice. Then, while Mei Lei Dian turned around to open the window, he took off his glasses, moved his body a little, and then in an instant picked up Mei Lei Dian and flew out of the room through the window.

Mei Raiden was not like an ordinary girl who would scream and shout because of this. The moment she felt her feet leave the ground, she realized what happened and immediately reached out to hug the neck of the person next to her.

"Now we don't have to worry about Bronya finding out, right?"

Wang Xuanqiao looked down at her and smiled gently.

"...Where are we going?" Mei Raiden seemed to have not figured out how to answer this question for a moment. After a moment of silence, she brought up a new topic.

"I don't know. If you don't have anywhere you want to go, we can just watch the stars." Wang Xuanqiao held Raiden Mei in a princess hug, slowed down the speed, and changed from flying to floating.

It’s a pity that Wang Xuanqiao is missing a red cloak on his back, otherwise it would be more interesting.

It was like Mei Raiden sitting in Wang Xuanqiao's arms, staring intently at the man who was holding her.

She recalled that the last man who could do this was her own father. Moreover, she was not even old enough at that time.

Mei Raiden found that she had once thought that such a day would never come. Especially after meeting Kiana, she was more determined that the happiness she was looking for was not between the two sexes, and she completely radiated her love to the people around her.

But now, everything has changed.

Not only have the people around me changed, but I have changed too.

Everyone has changed.

"Manager..." Mei Raiden, who had been hiding her thoughts in silence, suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?" Wang Xuanqiao seemed to be really looking at the stars. Only when he heard the soft call from the person in his arms did he retract his gaze and look at her.

"You and Kiana... slept together, didn't you?"

Wang Xuanqiao felt that the arms of Raiden Mei that were hugging his neck suddenly became stronger.

"Yeah. I don't know where Kiana learned this from, but she insisted on sneaking into my bed in the middle of the night to sleep, forcing me to pretend to be asleep."

Wang Xuanqiao found it funny to think of Kiana tiptoeing onto the bed. He also thought that he would have to explain this matter to Kiana next time. There was no need to have such a strong sense of stealing.

"So the manager is pretending to be asleep?" Raiden Mei couldn't help but open her eyes wide, looking incredulous. "You guys really just slept together? You didn't do anything else?"

“No.” Wang Xuanqiao blinked, then burst out laughing, “Qiana is really hiding something lonely this time. She definitely didn’t expect that you would have discovered it a long time ago.”

"Well, that does sound like something Kiana would do." Raiden Mei also laughed. "She...even though she used to be quite talkative, she's actually quite pure at heart. She always doesn't dare to take the final step."

"This is a good thing," Wang Xuanqiao said with a smile. "In a sense, this is also a major event in life. If you don't have a clear understanding of what you are about to do and how you will behave in the future, it's best not to take the first step."

"At least in this respect, being conservative is definitely not wrong."

"What about you?" After Lei Dian Mei spoke, her eyes stared straight at Wang Xuanqiao.

"Me?" Wang Xuanqiao kept smiling and responded to Raiden Mei's gaze calmly.

"I've long since lost touch with the word conservative, so I can't respond to anyone who hopes for this. If anyone thinks that kind of thing requires equal conditions, then I'm definitely going to be excluded, haha."

"Then do you care?" Raiden Mei asked again.

"No." Wang Xuanqiao shook his head. "No matter what, it's just a way of pursuing happiness. If I meet someone who wants this kind of happiness, I respect them. But I don't pursue this kind of happiness myself, so I can't give it to them."

"So what kind of happiness are you pursuing?"

"Well, it's hard to say. I feel like I've passed the stage of pursuing happiness, but I still feel happy and satisfied when I see your joy. Fortunately, you are all my members, otherwise I would really doubt myself as a saint."

Wang Xuanqiao laughed dumbly. If someone who had fought in the samsara space heard this, they would probably laugh their heads off. But fortunately, most of those people were dead, so they wouldn't have this opportunity again.

He looked up at the night sky again. The moon was beautiful and the stars were twinkling. It was obvious that tomorrow would be a good day. He kept a smile on his face, and suddenly heard Mei Raiden in his arms say something softly.

"Take me back to my room."

Then she whispered:

"Can you please not leave tonight?"
