Chapter 418: Is This How It Feels Like to Love Someone (2)
It was only nine at the moment. She didn’t even sleep that early during the examination period, and it was already going to be the holidays soon. Only a fool would sleep that early and waste her precious holiday away!
Shi Yao blinked her eyes as she asked doubtfully, “It’s still quite early though…”
“Is it?” Mister Numbers replied concisely before falling silent.
…
Yet another game ended, and Mister Numbers, who had been rather silent throughout the entire duration spoke up again, “It’s ten. Aren’t you going to sleep yet?”
How bizarre. There are times where we played till one or two in the morning, so why does it seem like Mister Numbers is urging me to sleep today?
With a slight furrow on her forehead, Shi Yao replied, “Isn’t it only 10? I can’t fall asleep at this timing even if I want to.”
“Alright then. Let’s play another round,” Mister Numbers said as he hosted another room.
It was 10:27 PM when the game came to an end. Once again, Shi Yao heard Mister Numbers nagging at her, almost as if hypnotizing her to sleep, “Are you ready to sleep now?”
Shi Yao tilted her head in confusion till a possibility suddenly struck her head, and she asked, “Are you busy right now? If you have something else to go attend to, go ahead. There’s no need to worry about me.”
<111111>: “That’s not it.”
Ah, is it a wrong guess?
Shi Yao was more confused than ever. She asked, “If you aren’t busy, why are you trying to get me to sleep?”
“Well, tomorrow, you…” Mister Numbers began uttering some words before abruptly falling silent.
Shi Yao waited for a while, but Mister Numbers didn’t continue speaking. Utterly perplexed, she asked, “What about me tomorrow?”
<111111>: “I was saying that you’ll be tired if you sleep so late tonight.”
Shi Yao had a feeling that Mister Numbers was going to say something else, but she was unable to figure out what exactly it was. So, she grabbed a piece of ham and munched on it before replying, “You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll have plenty of energy once I’m full.”
“…” Mister Numbers fell silent for a few seconds before finally replying, “Even if you don’t feel tired, you should still head to sleep. You know the saying ‘sleeping early and waking up early is good for the body’, and this rings especially true for a lady like you.”
Is that it? Why does it seem so awfully suspicious?
Shi Yao pondered as she munched on her ham, but she was still unable to make sense of this situation. A short moment later, she finally relented and said, “Alright then. I’ll play another match before washing up and heading to bed.”
A few seconds later, <111111> replied, “Sounds good.”
The game began, and they got onto the airplane. Mister Numbers leaped down together with her, and a few moments after landing on the ground, he was knocked down by a car, leaving Shi Yao alone.
Shi Yao watched helplessly as her avatar was pummeled to death by the fists of two people…
Then, Mister Numbers’ voice sounded in her ears once more, “Alright, the match has come to an end. You should head to sleep now.”
What the hell! Can this even be considered as a round? It’s more than we have been rushing to our deaths! We might as well have skipped this last round!
Shi Yao pouted her cheeks unhappily as she ignored Mister Numbers, threw her phone aside, and headed to the shower.
After she was done washing herself up, she returned to her room, only to find that there were various notifications on her phone.
She first checked her WeChat. She had received a message from Mister Numbers.
[Are you angry?]
[I just wanted you to sleep early and wake up early.]
[I’ll bring you 10 chicken dinners the next time around, alright?]
Shi Yao ignored <111111> and headed straight to her messages.
She had received a message from Lin Jiage.
[Tomorrow morning, 11 o’clock at Mountain Changming. Don’t forget.]
