Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

"Nothing, Ellie. I just suddenly felt a sense of emotion. Our lives are really different now."

But he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, the sensor door suddenly opened again.

PS: I am writing more chapters, but I may not be able to catch up. Please don’t wait, and take a rest as soon as possible!

Volume 133: : Wine doesn't make people drunk, people get drunk themselves

Kiana walked into the game room, carrying her backpack and humming a little tune.

The backpack contained small items she had packed that were inconvenient to leave in the Moon Base dormitory, such as snacks, comic books, and some personal collections. Because Wang Xuanqiao had said yesterday that he could reserve that room exclusively for her.

So, the highly mobile Kiana came here today with her belongings. Although she knew she couldn't escape the room, she couldn't help but want to "take ownership" as soon as possible.

When Kiana thought that it was just her and the store manager tonight, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Then, she saw two women in the game room!

Kiana was confused.

"Why are you here?" She looked at Alicia and Eden with a confused look on her face, and suddenly remembered that these two people seemed to be... heroes of the previous civilization?

Kiana instantly became alert. She knew that Ying Jie of the previous civilization had a close relationship with Wang Xuanqiao. It was said that one of the pink-haired women was very close to Wang Xuanqiao.

"Hello, Kiana." Alicia became more natural at this moment. "Are you here to see Xuanqiao too?"

Xuanqiao? He actually called her by her name!? Kiana's eyes widened instantly.

Could it be that the manager's sudden change in dressing style was due to this woman? She suddenly thought of something scary.

Seeing Kiana reveal a hint of... hostility, like a cat guarding its food, Eden couldn't help but smile wryly. She suddenly understood why Alicia had made such a bold decision. Perhaps this was another kind of situation that forced her.

It's not really a competition, it's just that when I see others doing it, I want to go a step further.

"If you want to see the manager, please go directly to the second floor." Eden thought he might be able to give them a push, at least to prevent the two ambitious girls from wasting any more time. "If it's too late, the manager might be asleep by then."

"That's true." Alicia nodded slightly. "Then let's go up together, Kiana. It's just right, I also want to get to know you better. It's just that you've been on the moon the whole time, and I haven't had the chance to talk to you."

Kiana subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew there was no point in refusing. If she fell into the trap of possessive desire, she would become the only loser in this arena where there was no winner.

"Then let's go together." The white-haired ball straightened his chest, trying to show off his strength.

Alicia smiled lightly, walked forward to stand with Kiana, and then walked with her to the second floor.

Eden watched the two of them chatter away, silently wishing them well. But the lingering chill left behind by the hope made her inexplicably concerned, and instead aroused a desire to play.

The equipment was right before his eyes. Eden returned to his seat and put on his helmet.

When two visitors from the night arrived, the second floor of the game hall became lively.

Wang Xuanqiao didn't return to his room. Instead, he sat in the living room, leaning against the soft sofa, playing games on his terminal. For new players, the games accumulated over the years are like an inexhaustible treasure trove, constantly energizing them.

However, when Alicia and Kiana walked in together, the game suddenly lost its color.

Did these two really get together? Wang Xuanqiao put down the terminal, feeling a subtle headache.

"Hi~ Good evening." Alicia's rather cool outfit was naturally quite eye-catching, and had a different kind of charm compared to when she was dressed up.

"Good evening." Wang Xuanqiao nodded. "I won't be taking food at this hour. Would you like something to drink?"

"Hmm~ Such a nice night, I think it's suitable to drink some drinks that make people want to talk." Alicia said with a smile.

"What kind of drink makes me want to talk?" Kiana pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered the person who was always drunk...

Wine...

"Then let's have some cocktails." Wang Xuanqiao stood up. "Where's Kiana? Do you want some?"

No more.

Kiana wanted to refuse. Deep down, she felt a little resistant to such things that would make her look ugly, but her mind kept resurfacing, the image of the old woman who blamed the world for keeping her single, as if shaking an empty bottle in the air again.

"Okay, then... give it a taste."

Wang Xuanqiao went to the kitchen and brought out a dozen cocktails and a small bucket of ice.

This was the alcoholic beverage he'd been stockpiling at home since the party hosted by Alicia. After all, those women had been incredibly drunk the previous time, not only in large quantities but also by mixing drinks. So, Wang Xuanqiao figured it would be best to stockpile some mellower liquors.

Blended drinks are a good option, as they have a low alcohol content and the sweetness and aroma of the juices offset the bitterness of the drink, making them perfect for a quick drink. Even for those who prefer bitterness, there are chocolate-flavored blends that offer a bittersweet cocoa aroma.

The three of them walked into the restaurant and sat down by the window. Three glasses, an ice bucket, and a dozen cocktails of varying flavors were placed on the table, and everyone could choose according to their preferences.

This was probably the most "formal" time Kiana had ever drunk alcohol in her life. She tentatively took a sip of the alcoholic beverage with a fruity aroma. It tasted a bit like juice and a bit like sparkling water, but there was a hint of bitterness at the end.

If this is the taste, Kiana doesn't feel disgusted.

But she also knew that in the past, even the mere taste of bitterness was unacceptable. Food could be salty, sweet, sour, or spicy, but not bitter. Bitterness was simply unpleasant, especially when life forced one to endure hardship.

After everyone had taken a sip, Alicia spoke.

However, the topics she brought up were very mundane, such as what had happened that day, some new news she had stumbled upon, or gossip between friends. In short, it was just casual chat with no particular theme.

The three of them talked aimlessly and drank continuously, and gradually Kiana became the protagonist of the topic.

Because she was a little drunk.

"Aunt Jizi always came home drunk. I thought she was such a jerk back then. She was addicted to alcohol and even had to trouble her own students to clean up after her. No wonder she couldn't get married."

Kiana grabbed the wine glass and threw two more ice cubes in to fill it up.

"I've always thought she should quit drinking and become a little more gentle, then she'll definitely have no shortage of partners. After all, Aunt Jizi is so beautiful. If she didn't have these flaws, there would definitely be a lot of people who like her!"

"Later, I realized it wasn't because of those shortcomings, but because she couldn't let go of us students. It was Teacher Jizi who voluntarily gave up her right to pursue happiness in the hope of gaining our happiness in return."

"But happiness is something that's so difficult to achieve. It's like... let's say there's someone who falls in love with two people at the same time, but those two people seem to be together. What should they do?"

Alicia's eyes curved with laughter, while Wang Xuanqiao could only drink and act stupid.

"It's so difficult... This person just came up with a solution, but just a day later, they discovered that there's a fourth person involved in this network. Ugh! I put myself in their shoes and I really don't know what to do."

"So-called happiness is something that only a few people can have."

Kiana became excited and suddenly sat next to Wang Xuanqiao.

"Manager, you know a lot! Tell me, how should I answer this question?"

Wang Xuanqiao looked at the pretty face with blushes all over it, then glanced secretly at Alishia who was also sitting next to him. Seeing that she also gave him an expression urging him to answer, he could only shake his head and smile slightly.

"My opinion on this issue doesn't actually apply to most people," he said softly. "Do you really want to hear it?"

"I want to listen!" Kiana nodded vigorously.

"Happiness shouldn't be that complicated. It's actually a personal matter from beginning to end." Wang Xuanqiao looked into her hazy eyes and replied, "As long as you don't destroy other people's happiness, there's nothing to worry about. Especially when it comes to emotional matters, it ultimately depends on yourself."

"If one day you realize that happiness requires exclusive possession of something, it's best to give it up. Because happiness that requires you to sacrifice something can no longer be called happiness."

As soon as the words fell, Kiana hugged Wang Xuanqiao.

——The author has something to say——

Sorry for the late update!

Because I went to collect materials today, haha——

Incidentally, the Sanbengzi design collection has arrived this year, and it feels much faster than last year. Similarly, the overall acquisition process of the game this year is also much faster than last year. I have to sigh that the old Bidens have really developed into cyber Vietcong. They are usually invisible, but they pop up as soon as the original art collection is released.

It made me take the Red Lotus Elevator a few more times!

Volume 134: : Kiana is sleeping soundly

Kiana's action was a little sudden, and even Alicia was stunned for a moment.

Could the effect of alcohol be that significant? She quickly realized what was happening, smiled slightly, and shifted her body to get closer to Wang Xuanqiao.

With two girls pressing against him one after another, it was impossible for Wang Xuanqiao to say he didn't feel a bit of pressure. But the situation at hand was necessary. Alicia had spotted this small gap and taken the initiative to fill it.

"Then..." Kiana buried her head in Wang Xuanqiao's chest, "Manager, if many people like you, how would you respond?"

Alicia also pricked up her ears.

It seemed like Kiana was planning to use her alcohol to launch a direct attack. Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but smile.

He could understand it. After all, Alicia was not as familiar to her as Mei Raiden. If she had to put Alicia in the position of a competitor, the answer would undoubtedly be pessimistic.

Can you win against a competitor that you can't help but like?

You can't always lie to yourself and say: I will win.

Although in a sense, she was indeed the cause of tonight's situation. If it weren't for Kiana's sneak attack last night, Alicia might not have had any further thoughts.

So, this is the destiny written by one's own hands.

"Don't you already know the answer?" Wang Xuanqiao put down the wine glass in his hand and patted Kiana's head gently, "Raiden Mei's little sun."

Kiana's body trembled slightly. Then, she pressed against Wang Xuanqiao's chest and suddenly laughed.

Seeing that Alicia's face instantly changed to a gossipy expression, Wang Xuanqiao could only shake his head at her helplessly and gave her a look that required her to keep it secret.

Alicia returned a look of regret.

"Really? This answer is so ridiculous, yet there's nothing wrong with it." Kiana let go of her hand and sat up again.

"Because we are all independent people, we don't really need to rely on anyone to exist." Wang Xuanqiao picked up the glass again, "How about a toast to myself?"

Kiana and Alicia raised their glasses together with a smile, and a crisp ringing sound was made when they clinked in the air.

At this point, nothing was going to happen tonight. After finishing their drinks, Kiana suggested watching a movie from another world. So the three of them cleared the dining room and moved to the living room, which had a home theater, where they sat in a row on the sofa.

While the film's content was captivating, everyone knew the creator had ulterior motives. Halfway through the screening, Kiana had already fallen asleep, leaning against Wang Xuanqiao.

Seeing this, Alicia smiled and picked up the remote control and pressed pause.

She and Wang Xuanqiao's eyes met, and they both made a silent gesture and smiled at the same time.

Then, Alicia suddenly took out the terminal, typed a message on it, and clicked send.

The next moment, Wang Xuanqiao's terminal vibrated slightly. He took it out and saw a message from the Pink Fairy.

------

Pink Fairy: He fell asleep after all~

The otaku playing games: [laughing and crying][laughing and crying][laughing and crying]

Miss Pink Fairy: Let's take Kiana back to her room to rest.

Gamer: Okay. But do you think we're weird?

Miss Pink Fairy: How could that be? If we speak softly, it will be easier to wake her up.

The otaku who plays games: That’s true, you are very thoughtful.

Miss Pink Fairy: [love][love][love][love][love]

Otaku playing games: [heart]

Wang Xuanqiao gently picked up Kiana, and together with Alicia, he sent her back to the room and tucked her in.

By this time, most of the night had already passed. If a cultivator fell asleep at this moment, he would surely wake up groggy in the afternoon of the following day.

After checking the time, Wang Xuanqiao naturally decided not to go to bed. Alicia seemed to agree, so the two of them returned to the restaurant, where through the floor-to-ceiling windows they could clearly see the city waking up from the night.

"Kiana is also a cute girl like me." Alicia sat by the window and smiled softly.

"Really? I think you are being too modest in this regard." Wang Xuanqiao sat next to her and said seriously.

"Pfft~ That won't do. There can't be any distinction between beauty and cuteness among girls." Alicia nudged Wang Xuanqiao with her elbow. "But you can compliment me directly. Like—Alcia is such a lovely girl."

"Alicea is such a lovely girl!"

Before Alysia could react, Wang Xuanqiao said it directly, and added some reinforcement, which made Alysia's face flush.

She had obviously drunk so much just now that even Kiana turned red, but she didn't look blushing at all.

"No, no, that's too unfair!" Alicia said with a hint of panic in her tone. "Frank boys can easily make people lose their resistance."

This sentence reminded Wang Xuanqiao of Kevin and Kosmo, and by the way, he also thought of Qianjie.
