Watching the silent Tong Yi, Ling Rui gently asked, “Sister Yi, why don’t we forget about it? It’s too troublesome to fool around and play with Lu Zhanbei.”
Tong Yi frowned. Ling Rui actually thought that she was chasing Lu Zhanbei for fun?
On second thought, this was the game world. Everything she did was to complete the game mission. Wasn’t it all just make-believe?
Tong Yi held her forehead and laughed.
Ling Rui said, “Sister Yi, what’s wrong? One moment you look distressed then you are suddenly laughing the next. It’s really scary.”
Tong Yi waved her hand and rolled down the car window. As the cold wind blew across her face, she felt renewed. “I’m fine. I’m just playing around. Since the first time didn’t work out, I tried a second time. It didn’t work the second time either, so I tried a third time. I don’t believe I won’t get what I want in the end.”
Ling Rui nodded. “That’s more like it. With every setback we face, we should be more determined. The more you guys see each other, the more familiar you guys will get. Who knows, you might even successfully win him over after a period of flirting. Tonight, I’ll come up with a list of flirting strategies for you. With that, I don’t believe you won’t be able to win over Lu Zhanbei.”
Tong Yi glanced at Ling Rui, who was in high spirits. “You should say that to Lu Zhanbei’s face if you dare.”
“I… What do you want me to say? I’m a man. I’m not gay.”
Hearing that, Tong Yi was rendered speechless.
The next day, Tong Yi left the house before Yun Ruoshu and Tong Siyuan woke up.
Last night, she had quietly slipped out of the house. When she returned from the Zhunhuang Chamber, Yun Ruoshu was sitting in the living room waiting for her.
She got an earful of lecturing from her mother.
It was not that she did not want to listen to Yun Ruoshu’s teachings. In fact, she liked it very much. Yun Ruoshu’s words and eyes were filled with love, it made her feel very warm. It was something that she had always dreamed of.
However, she did not dare to indulge in this warmth, afraid that she would not be able to let go of it when she exited the game in the future because it was something that she would never get in real life.
Tong Yi chose the plainest car from the Tong family’s garage and headed straight to the Beifeng Group from the villa.
On the way there, she received a call from Ling Rui. He asked her excitedly, “Sister Yi, guess what I got for you?”
Tong Yi asked as she drove, “What?”
“Take a guess.”
“…” She couldn’t even begin to guess and didn’t want to. At the present moment, she only wanted Lu Zhanbei to get engaged to her. She wasn’t interested in anything else.
“Sheesh, forget it. I’ll just tell you. I got Lu Zhanbei’s private number. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?”
Tong Yi became serious. “Really?”
“Why would I lie to you? Do you want it?”
“Yes.”
“As a lady, can you show some restraint?”
Tong Yi was rendered speechless once again. He had sent her a bunch of information about how to flirt with men last night, and now he was telling her to show some restraint?
“Your limited-edition motorcycle is pretty cool…”
“Sure, you can have it.” She had indeed seen a black motorcycle in the garage earlier. She had been wondering, who in the Tong family would ride a motorcycle? She did not expect it to be herself.
“So generous?”
“Mobile number.”
“I’ll send it to your WeChat now.”
“Ok.” Tong Yi ended the call. Two seconds later, Ling Rui sent over Lu Zhanbei’s number.
Tong Yi saved the number and suddenly remembered that Ling Rui mentioned yesterday that it was almost impossible to get Lu Zhanbei’s private number. So how did he manage to get it?
The question flashed through Tong Yi’s mind. However, she quickly dismissed the question as she cared little about the process, she only wanted to see the results.
Tong Yi stopped the car by the side of the road and opened her WeChat. She figured that she should give it a try. She called up her friend lists and entered Lu Zhanbei’s number into the search bar. She hadn’t expected his number to be registered on WeChat.
The nickname was written in simple, straightforward words—Lu Zhanbei.
One could attach a message to a friend request. Tong Yi typed in, ‘I am Tong Yi.’
After some thought, she deleted it and changed it to, ‘If you don’t accept my friend request, it means that you like me.’
Then, she clicked ‘send’.
