Jing Huan only discovered that some of his hair was sticking up when he came home and video-called Mama Jing.

The video connected. The woman on the screen was dressed in a streamlined suit. Not a strand of her hair was out of place, her face had a light dusting of delicate makeup, and her eyebrows and eyes were similar to those of Jing Huan.

Seeing Jing Huan's movements, the corner of the woman's mouth quirked slightly. "Is the wind so strong at your school?"

"It's alright." Jing Huan looked around at her surroundings. "Mom, it's so late, and you're still at work?"

"En, some final things to do. When it's all done, I'll head back." Mama Jing closed the document. "How have you been doing recently? Have you gotten used to living in the new house?"

Every time the two of them chatted, after awhile, it always turned into a Q&A format.

"In a bit, I'm going to have a few days of vacation, and I want to come with your dad to see you." Now Mama Jing arrived at her main topic. "And really, you. Last month you obviously had a break, but why didn't you come home?"

"Wasn't it because Gao Zixiang and them just had to pull me along with them to the hot springs resort." Jing Huan said, shifting the blame.

"If you yourself didn't want to go, could Zixiang get you to go anywhere?" Mama Jing twirled her pen and raised her eyebrows. "Be honest now, have you been dating someone recently?"

Jing Huan didn't even have to think before responding, "No, how could that be possible..."

"Then, what are you so busy with recently?" Mama Jing began to list out her evidence. "You used to call me once a week. Yet, how long has it been since this semester started, and how many times have you called me?"

I'm busy trying to get a slag man to fall in love with me.

Jing Huan replied, "I had things I was busy with, I'll call you every day from now on."

"Every day isn't necessary, that's too troublesome." Mama Jing glanced at the calendar on the table. "Next month, on the eighth, I'll go see you with your dad."

"Okay, you can come whenever you want." Jing Huan asked, "Do you want me to come pick you up at the station?"

"No need. We'll drive there and go sightseeing on the way for a few days. Your dad has already booked the hotel room."

"..." Really, I'm the one who's 'on the way' ba.

After hanging up, Jing Huan slowly turned on the computer. Just after logging into WeChat on the PC, he saw 99+ message notifications in the guild group chat.

He had gotten used to it. There were more than 200 chatty people in this guild, each one chattier than the next. Within one class period, they could have typed out over 100 lines in the chat.

Jing Huan logged into the game and clicked on the chat box at the top of his friends list to send a message.

[Friend] Xiao Tianjing: Gege, I'm here. [blows a kiss]

This process had already become his habit.

NCH's friends list was sorted by intimacy. The higher the intimacy score, the higher the position on the list. In the game, for every battle you fight together in a team with someone, the intimacy score would add +1, and so Jing Huan's highest intimacy score was with Yearning For.

Their intimacy score had already reached 3300.

It was even enough to get married.

Jing Huan leaned back in his chair and lazily typed.
