Chapter 56
At noon, the clouds scattered and the sky was clear, which is a rare weather in recent times.
Alas, Ling Mo's mood was clouded.
Especially a few meters away from home, as if rushing to the execution ground.
Although he was enlightened by Brother Haonan before, he still didn't believe it. Perhaps it was the inferiority complex caused by the huge gap in status. He subconsciously didn't want to leave any bad impression in Xia Xinyan, especially Now that he had accepted her in his heart, he was even more afraid of losing her because of his negligence in this regard.
For those who have experienced the beauty of ideal love, it is difficult to go back to the past.
This may be similar to the difficulty of going from extravagance to frugality.
So the part about his doubts about Xia Xinyan in his previous chat with Brother Haonan was what he was most concerned about at the moment.
It's fine if she doesn't see it, but if she does...
"Ah, you're back?"
As soon as the door was opened, Xinyan's voice came over, with a bit of excitement.
"The game capsule has been delivered, a total of thirteen, more than I expected."
Looking at Xia Xinyan who was coming up to him, Ling Mo paused.
"Thirteen?"
Thirteen gaming pods?
There were so many?
He originally thought that three sets were too many.
"That's right, I didn't expect there to be so many, but I heard from the seller that the second batch of game pods is about to be released, so I got some more."
...More than just some.
Whether it's on the internet or his friends, there are many people who are looking forward to a game capsule, but there is still no signs of it. As a result, Xia got thirteen by just saying a word. Sure enough, it is difficult for people of different status to have a common understanding on certain things.
Ling Mo complained silently in his mind.
But let's not talk about that, judging by Xinyan's appearance now, it seems that she... Hasn't seen those chat logs?
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so happy, right?
Even if he knew in his mind that it was normal for him to suspect her, but if she knew that she was being suspected, would she feel sad if he is honest?
Or her acting skills are too good—— it's just that Ling Mo automatically ignores this possibility. After all, he has always tried to figure out his girlfriend with the greatest kindness.
...As for why he was suspicious before, it was because he hadn't considered Xia as his girlfriend at that time.
But after experiencing yesterday's dungeon, everything is completely different.
Slightly relieved, Ling Mo smiled lightly and said.
"Are you free this afternoon? Do you want to go to our club? Our club is full of nice people, and we all like to play games... They will definitely welcome you.”
"Okay."
Xia Xinyan didn't hesitate.
"Well—— how about you tell the club about the game pod now? If it's convenient, I'll have someone send the game pod over and install them this afternoon, and it will be ready to play then."
"Ah... Ok."
Ling Mo nodded.
Xia Xinyan smiled slightly.
"Then you go ahead and talk about it, I'll make lunch."
"Can I make the lunch?"
Ling Mo hurriedly stopped her, hesitated for a second, and said.
"Just go to the living room and rest... I'll do it."
To put it bluntly, he just wanted to show off his little talent. In this day and age, being able to cook is already a plus. As the saying goes, if you want to tie a man's heart, you have to tie his stomach. This can also be true in reverse, and it's worth trying.
It's just... He thinks it seems a bit deliberate to stop her suddenly.
"No need."
Xia Xinyan shook her head indifferently.
"It's okay to take turns for this kind of thing. I'm not looking for a chef, so it wouldn't be good to have you cook all the time, right?"
Ling Mo was speechless.
It should be said that he didn't know how to refute Xia Xinyan, as long as it was anything she said, he didn't know how to decline it.
Or rather, don't wanting to refute.
And it's a rare experience for a girlfriend to cook for himself, so it's really hard for him to decline.
As for showing off talent or something... It won't be too late to do it later.
But after thinking about it, he followed her into the kitchen.
"Then let's cook together, I'll help you."
Anyway, he still has emotional intelligence. It would be stupid to let his girlfriend cook and play by himself.
Xia glanced at him and nodded.
This was the first time for the two to cook together, but it seemed that they had a good teamwork during the whole process, and they didn't even need too many words to know what the other was going to do, at least in Ling Mo's opinion, it was quite pleasant.
Is this called tacit understanding?
——It may also be called the same habit.
It was only now that Xia discovered that the habits of the two of them are so similar—— maybe she has maintained the habits she has developed for a long time with these ordinary things in life, so she can have such a high degree of tacit understanding with Ling Mo at this time. Anyway, the experience is quite comfortable.
She had always felt that after the cruel years in the late game, there was a big difference between herself and Ling Mo, but now it seems that it is not so big.
Not too bad.
After eating happily, Ling Mo talked about what Xinyan just said in the club group, the focus was on the thirteen game capsules, and as expected, it immediately stirred up waves in, countless old dogs exploded.1
Xia was watching their chat from the sidelines, and she couldn't help but miss this nonsense atmosphere.
It seemed that after 《The God’s Realm》 gradually affected reality, she never saw such pure emotions again.
Of course, in her previous life, there was also the reason why she voluntarily gave up on the group of people in the club, because they really couldn't keep up with her footsteps. Once the gap was too large, even if they still called each other friends, they would not know it. If someone goes far, the circle of friends is destined to be different. This is an inevitable process.
Now going through it again, but as a bystander.
It made her really emotional.
Maybe she will never have this kind of friendship again in her life.
《As the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new. There’s no need for the host to be so sad. Although the friendship has been lost, the host has gained love.》
'...Shut up.'
The mood was completely ruined by frog's words.2
The time Ling Mo agreed with them was 2:30 in the afternoon. They were in the school's activity room building. When the two of them passed by, there were already several club members waiting at the gate of the building.
In other words, they were specially greeted.
Among them, the president of the club, Zhang Nan, was the leader, a very strong old man, but after wearing a pair of glasses, he added a bit of bookishness, at least he seemed a lot gentler. Brother Haonan is naturally also in the group, and the others are also brothers who have a pretty good relationship with Ling Mo in the club.
...Looking at it this way, it seems that Ling Mo knows quite a few heavyweights.
"Oh... Why are you still waiting at the door?"
Seeing them all standing here, Ling Mo couldn't help laughing.
"It's so grand, why not just wait for us in the activity room."
"You're thinking too much, who is waiting for you?"
Zhang Nan glanced at him, then looked at Xia Xinyan with a smile.
"We are waiting for Miss Xia, a big shot, we have to show something, we can't embarrass the gaming club."
"Yes, yes."
Brother Haonan nodded vigorously.
"Who is waiting for you, why are you being so affectionate?"
Ling Mo couldn't help feeling helpless.
"Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and looked at Xia Xinyan.
"Don't think too much, this group of people are all like this"
Xia Xinyan pursed her lips and said nothing.
Thinking that she had misunderstood, Zhang Nan immediately put away the acting.
"Just kidding, just kidding, but it's not a big deal to wait here. Those who come to the club are friends, not to mention Old Ling's girlfriend. We must come to greet you. And besides, didn't you say that you want to give the club gaming pods? So we have to come down and help carry it, right? we can't really be a bum who doesn't help in anything. "
Xia Xinyan smiled.
"Yes, I know."
