“Hongchen, tell me, how can there be love between girls?”
“Pfft~”
Hongchen Rumeng heard this and immediately sprayed juice everywhere.
She wiped her mouth, her face full of confusion.
What’s going on? Why did this girl suddenly ask such a question?
She looked over at Yilian Youmeng. The latter just shrugged lightly, indicating she had no idea either.
“This… I don’t know,” Hongchen Rumeng answered hesitantly.
Xian Yun had been pondering a question in her heart for a while.
Why does love arise between people of the same sex?
Though same-sex couples weren’t uncommon in this world, and she’d heard about it online, she simply couldn’t understand why love would form between two people of the same gender.
Some people said that love had no boundaries of gender.
Xian Yun couldn’t agree.
If there were truly no boundaries, then why even distinguish between men and women?
But the truth was, things just happened this way.
Those articles and videos about same-sex relationships online—Xian Yun had just looked at them out of curiosity. But now, something like this was happening around her.
This only made her curiosity grow even stronger.
Why does love bloom between those of the same gender?
This time, it was a question Xian Yun asked herself.
She was questioning her own heart.
When she saw Mu Qingxue and Chongchong, two girls, fighting over Chen Xiaoyan, there was a fleeting second where she thought about joining in.
But she didn’t.
Because she couldn’t find a reason for herself to get involved.
Maybe it was because she didn’t love deeply enough, maybe she was constrained by her own morals, or maybe both.
She herself couldn’t say for sure.
“Sigh~”
At this moment, Xian Yun looked just like a girl who had just been dumped, her face full of sorrow.
Hongchen Rumeng pulled Yilian Youmeng aside, and looked at Xian Yun, who was still standing there lost in thought, confused. “What’s up with her?”
“I’m not quite sure, but I’d guess it has something to do with Big Boss Xiaoyan.”
“With the captain? What do you mean?”
Yilian Youmeng winked at her, “You’re so dense. Think about Chongchong and the guild leader—what do you think it means?”
Hongchen Rumeng suddenly understood, covering her mouth with both hands, shock written all over her face.
Then she pointed at Xian Yun and whispered, “Are you saying Xian Yun is like Chongchong and likes the captain too?”
“Don’t put words in my mouth. I never said that!” Yilian Youmeng immediately denied it nervously.
“Aiya, I’m not a blabbermouth. Don’t worry, I won’t spread it.”
“I didn’t say anything anyway.” Yilian Youmeng stubbornly refused to admit it.
“Suit yourself.”
Hongchen Rumeng didn’t push it either—after all, being cautious was fine.
But she never expected that Xian Yun, who always kept a low profile and seemed uninterested in the captain, was actually just like them—a lily girl too?
I admit.
The captain is truly charming.
But the captain is a girl—why are there so many girls lining up to fall for another girl?
Hongchen Rumeng didn’t understand, but she was definitely shocked.
Wait.
It seems like most of the girls around the captain have already fallen for her.
Then what about me?
Uh…
The moment Hongchen Rumeng imagined herself and Chen Xiaoyan in a sweet, loving scene, flying side by side, she shuddered.
If she had her phone, she would’ve called Liudao Laodi to calm her nerves.
This is way too scary, isn’t it?
“Hello~”
Suddenly, three men dressed in white walked over, greeting them.
Among them, Hongchen Rumeng recognized one.
It was none other than Jiumeng Ge, whom she had just met outside the temporary restroom.
“Jiumeng Ge, what a coincidence.” Hongchen Rumeng forced a smile and waved.
“Rumeng Meimei, such a coincidence.”
“Whoa, when did Jiudong Laoge start knowing girls?”
The two male players beside Jiumeng Ge sized up Hongchen Rumeng curiously.
“Such a cute Shen Ce Meizi, what’s your game ID? Let’s play together sometime.”
“You idiot, why are you looking at Shen Ce Meizi? Look at these two over here!”
“Holy crap, two wild Tian Xiang Xiaojiejie!!!”
“Mom, your son has finally found you!”
Xian Yun and Yilian Youmeng: “???”
Yilian Youmeng was closest. Seeing a man rushing over as if to hug her, her face went pale with fright and she quickly hid behind Hongchen Rumeng.
“What are you doing?” Hongchen Rumeng was startled too. She quickly spread her arms to block in front.
“What’s wrong with you?” Jiumeng Ge gritted his teeth angrily.
These two Shushan players were called Yi Zhi Qing Shu and Mei Xin Mei Fei.
They were the brothers he’d just gotten to know recently.
Though they seemed a bit silly, their character was decent.
He brought them over to increase the odds of a “coincidental” encounter—not to rack up a negative impression.
If, because of this, these girls got a bad impression of him, his plan would be ruined.
Jiumeng Ge really wanted to draw his sword right now and teach that guy a lesson with Sword Shadows in Cold Light.
“Heh heh, sorry, Dream Bro. I just couldn’t help myself when I saw Tian Xiang Meimei.” Mei Xin Mei Fei scratched the back of his head with a silly smile.
Yi Zhi Qing Shu rolled his eyes.
You call that “couldn’t help yourself”?
It’s lucky the Tian Xiang Xiaojiejie didn’t call the nearby police to arrest you.
Who lunges at someone the moment they meet?
Ridiculous.
“What’s going on?” At this moment, Xian Yun noticed the commotion and walked over to ask.
“Xian Yun, this guy tried to run over and hug Youmeng.”
“Hm?” Xian Yun’s eyes turned cold as she swept a glance over the male players.
“You guys really think the police around here are for decoration? Even if the police can’t do anything to you, should I tell Xiaoyan-jie and the guild leader you’re sexually harassing people?”
Jiumeng Ge’s face darkened.
As expected, they really do know Xiaoyan.
“Mei Xin Mei Fei, aren’t you going to apologize?”
Mei Xin Mei Fei was actually a pretty honest person—he just picked the wrong way to express himself sometimes.
Now realizing his mistake, he felt quite guilty.
After hearing both Xian Yun and Jiumeng Ge say this, he quickly bowed and apologized to Yilian Youmeng.
“I’m sorry, Tian Xiang Meizi. I was being a ** just now.”
“You really are a **?” Yilian Youmeng poked her head out from behind Hongchen Rumeng and asked bluntly.
This move left everyone a little stunned.
Hongchen Rumeng and Xian Yun immediately tensed up, afraid this guy would lose his temper and attack Yilian Youmeng.
But in reality, Mei Xin Mei Fei didn’t dare to protest at all; instead, he nodded in agreement, “Yes, yes, I’m a **.”
With that honest, simple look, he really didn’t seem like a bad person no matter how you looked at him.
So Hongchen Rumeng relaxed her guard.
“Rumeng Meimei, my buddy here is a hardcore fan of Tian Xiang, so he got a bit carried away just now. Sorry about that,” Jiumeng Ge quickly tried to smooth things over for Mei Xin Mei Fei, hoping to salvage their impression.
“It’s alright, Jiumeng Ge, it was just a misunderstanding.” Hongchen Rumeng sounded nonchalant, but she’d changed the way she addressed him.
Jiumeng Ge let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
“Hongchen, are they your friends?” Now that the misunderstanding was resolved and Xian Yun wasn’t pressing, she asked.
“No, I only know Jiumeng Ge. Jiumeng Ge is the captain’s boss.”
Xiaoyan’s boss?
He must be loaded.
At this point, whatever hostility Xian Yun had left disappeared.
Of course, it wasn’t because of the money, but because he was Chen Xiaoyan’s boss.
“Hello, Jiumeng Ge Boss.”
Jiumeng Ge heard how Xian Yun addressed him and couldn’t help but smile wryly, clasping his hands together in a “praying” gesture.
“I beg you, beautiful, kind, lovely big sisters, please stop calling me boss!”
