I really like your sand sculpture group friends

“No need to make a special trip,” Mo Xiangwen waved his hand, “I’ll just take you down on my way back to the dorm later.”

Upon hearing this, Su Mengyao put down the bag.

"Alright, we still have plenty of time. Shall we discuss and research how to make the game?" Su Mengyao continued to ask.

"What's the rush? Today is to celebrate the studio's founding, and Noah hasn't even seen the project yet," Mo Xiangwen said matter-of-factly. "Of course it's about playing games."

"Playing video games? Great!"

Su Mengyao's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but clap her hands lightly.

She glanced at Su Mengli again, then quickly looked away and asked, "But is it okay? You haven't done any work and you're just playing games."

Su Mengli noticed her sister's gaze and secretly reflected on whether she had been too strict with her.

Su Mengli sighed softly and said, "No need to look at me. Xiang Wen has already said so, so of course there's no problem."

"Yay!" Su Mengyao quickly pulled her sister to the computer.

As for computer locations, there's not even a need to assign them.

Almost naturally, Su Mengyao and Su Mengli sat together, while he and Yan Nuoya sat opposite them.

Four computer desks were put together, with two computers for two people each, and there were also sofas and headphones, making it look just like an internet cafe.

Mo Xiangwen glanced at Yan Nuoya's beautiful profile beside him, feeling somewhat puzzled.

There was one... no, three people playing games with me right next to me.

It feels like I've gone back to my junior and senior high school days, running off to internet cafes with my classmates, sitting in a row of five people – those were pretty fun.

Unfortunately, things can never go back to the way they were, since these classmates have never been in contact again.

It's okay, things are no worse now than before.

Anyway, he spends more time playing games with his group members than with his classmates.

However, it's still a bit of a shame, since one person is missing.

There's nothing we can do about it, since Bai Shishi isn't a student at the school.

As for other options, there are none yet, at least not.

Adding someone to the team arbitrarily would be disrespectful to everyone else.

Thinking of Bai Shishi, he suddenly said, "Let's invite Bai Bai, she should be free."

“Okay, I’ll call them.” Su Mengyao, who was sitting diagonally across from her, volunteered once again.

Su Mengyao was quick to act; soon, a message popped up in the group chat on his computer screen.

A seductive touch: @BaiBaiPlaysGames.

Bai Bai: Sorry Mengyao, I'm not ready right now. I still have work to finish. Let's do it later or tomorrow.

Bai Shishi still has a job? Given her health condition, what kind of job could she possibly do? She's probably a freelancer.

"Then let's forget about it," Mo Xiangwen said after thinking for a moment. "Her work is important, so it's fine for the few of us to have fun."

"I was thinking of officially starting the game 'Starving', but a new game is coming out in a while." Su Mengyao pursed her lips. "But there's nothing I can do, let her keep busy first."

Su Mengli shook her head, sighed inwardly, and said, "Never mind, let me call it."

You are not allowed to play the Holy Slash: Xiang Wen is also here.

You're not allowed to play the Holy Slash: He said it would be a shame to miss it.

Mo Xiangwen turned slightly to the side, looking at Su Mengli sitting opposite him with a puzzled expression.

A huge question mark appeared above my head: When did he say such a thing?

While that is indeed the case, to be fair, he never said that.

Is it okay for you to spread rumors about him so casually?

Su Mengli gave him an apologetic smile and mouthed an apology.

Bai Bai: I'm done, I'll be right there.

A seductive allure: ?

"Holy crap... Ouch."

As soon as Su Mengyao finished speaking, she received a solid knock from her older sister next to her.

"It's been so long and you still can't say 'Bai Bai'." Su Mengli gave her a speechless look: "Also, no swearing."

She could only huff and puff at the screen, "Why? Why?"

Then, he started pounding on the keyboard, the clattering of the mechanical keys was clearly audible even from his vantage point.

A seductive question: What about me? What about me? Aren't I human?

A seductive plea: Speak up for me! Speak up for me!

Bai Bai: No, no, I just finished it.

Bai Shishi subconsciously shrank her small feet, which were clad in white socks, and looked at the message she had sent with a guilty conscience.

Anyway... anyway, they know what's going on, so it shouldn't count as them lying to Mengyao, right?

A seductive gesture: Hehe.

Human and Dragon in Harmony: Is that alright? If you have work to do, it's fine to come another day.

Bai Bai: Okay, no problem, I'll finish it tomorrow.

Use a seductive tactic: You just said you were done!

Bai Bai: ...I've finished today's portion.

Bai Bai: I'm so sorry.jpg

Human and Dragon in Harmony: Alright, alright, since we have all this free time, let's get started and not waste any more time.

The human and the dragon were united to initiate a voice call.

With a series of ringing sounds, all five people in the group were soon present.

"Bye, good evening." Mo Xiangwen greeted first.

Bai Shishi: "Mmm, it's been a long time since I've seen Xiao Yi."

Mo Xiangwen: "Haha, I've been busy lately, but I'm done now."

Bai Shishi: "What are you busy with?"

Mo Xiangwen: "Well, you'll know next time you come to school."

Bai Shishi said with a hint of regret, "Hey, but I still don't know when I'll be able to come to school."

Yan Nuoya: "There will always be a chance. Let's just consider it a surprise."

Su Mengli: "Yes, let's treat it as a surprise."

Su Mengyao: "Waaaaah, Bai Bai, you make me so sad."

Bai Shishi seemed somewhat ashamed, speaking haltingly: "I...I'm sorry, Mengyao."

Su Mengyao: "I understand, I'm sorry, but I'll do it again next time, right?"

Bai Shishi blinked and decided to ignore her.

It's so obvious, why bring it up? That's not good, it'll damage our friendship.

This is largely because the new computers haven't been equipped with voice changers yet, and also because people no longer need to use voice changers.

Therefore, all he heard in his headphones were familiar voices.

He was momentarily stunned to hear several female voices from the group members in a voice chat for the first time.

"Damn, my group members are really beautiful girls." He shook his head and muttered to himself.

Su Mengyao: "Who's going to host?"

Su Mengli: "Let's talk about it. Otherwise, if there are two fewer people each time, there's no point in starting the game."

Su Mengyao: "Sister, what you say is still so convincing."

Su Mengyao: "Do you want drinks? I'll go get them for you."

Su Mengli: "I think we're out of coconut water. How about I get some orange juice?"

Yan Nuoya: "Then I'll have orange juice too. Xiang Wen should have the same."

Bai Shishi frowned her pretty eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Huh? Are the three of you together right now?"

Su Mengyao seemed to be laughing quite happily; you could even hear the joy in her voice: "Yeah, that's right, I should say more than three."

To be honest, the plastic cup is too small; it's gone in just a few sips.

Should he bring a different cup to the office?

Anyway, he probably won't stay in the dorm much anymore except to sleep, right?

Bai Shishi: "Huh? What do you mean?"

Mo Xiangwen snapped out of his daze and said loudly, "Yes, I want the same one too. Thank you for your hard work, Mengyao."

“Okay, then you can create the room first.” Su Mengyao’s smile became even more pronounced: “Because Xiang Wen is also here.”

After saying that, Su Mengyao ignored her reaction, took off her headphones, and got up from her seat to get a drink.

"Huh? Hu ...

Bai Shishi herself felt like her head had turned into mush.

What's going on? Why did everyone suddenly gather together?

What's going on? This feeling that she's the only one not around.

The girl, lying on the sofa, stared blankly at the glowing computer screen, feeling somewhat lost.

Why, why did it turn out like this?

P.S.: Both chapters are a little late.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: First Time Playing Together at an Internet Cafe

"So, is it true?" In the room where no one could see her, Bai Shishi's cute little face twitched as she asked in the voice chat, "Is it just that I'm not here?"

Mo Xiangwen suddenly felt a headache coming on. What was supposed to be a pleasant surprise had been turned into a problem by Su Mengyao's prank.

"Don't let Mengyao's nonsense influence your judgment," Mo Xiangwen quickly added. "The studio has been established, so everyone is just playing games before getting to work."

"Besides, what's there to envy about those who have jobs?"

Bai Shishi recalled for a moment that on the day she went to school, they went to an entrepreneurship guidance center together.

Bai Shishi wrinkled her nose and continued to ask, "Is it about the application we went to inquire about last time?"

Mo Xiangwen said, "Yes, it was approved later."

Bai Shishi had just breathed a sigh of relief when she suddenly frowned and asked hesitantly, "So, working means...?"

She paused, her voice gradually lowering: "Yan Nuoya, Su Mengli, and Su Mengyao, are those three... all members of the studio?"

Although she tried to maintain a calm tone, Mo Xiangwen still keenly sensed the strangeness hidden in her words, but couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

"Yes." But he never intended to hide it from the other party, so he answered frankly.

Upon hearing this unsurprising answer, she instinctively curled up, shrinking herself into a small ball on the large sofa.

Hmm...why...?

Whether it's becoming friends with Xiao Yi or working together, it's all clear.

Wasn't she the one who arrived first?

How come it suddenly feels like I've been abandoned by everyone?

"However, just like Noah and Mengli said before," Mo Xiangwen chuckled, "this should have been a surprise for you."

Bai Shishi, who was deep in thought, was slightly taken aback by his words and asked with some doubt, "Surprise?"

“Yes.” Mo Xiangwen answered with certainty, “Afterwards, we will prepare board games here in the studio.”
