Since the decision to get married has already been made, everyone is now considered acquaintances.

...Although that logic sounds a little strange.

So, over the next two days, Wei Wei plays alongside ASmileNaiHe and even joins his regular party. His party is also full of masters. A few of them have PK'd with Wei Wei before, but she only recognizes them by their IDs anyway.

The first time Wei Wei meets them goes like this:

MonkeyWine: Hoho, a newcomer.

YuGongClimbsAMountain: NaiHe, who's this girl?

ASmileNaiHe: My fiancée.

He says it so naturally that Wei Wei is speechless for a moment. Then she types a smiley:

Wei Wei: Hi, everyone ^_^

MoZhaHim (Don'tHitHim): Wow, third sister-in-law.

YuGongClimbsAMountain: Impossible. Even the ten-thousand-year bachelor is getting married?

Everyone starts teasing and congratulating them. Then someone suddenly says:

"Third sister-in-law's ID feels familiar."

"Now that you mention it, yeah. Is she on the leaderboards?"

MonkeyWine bluntly says:
"I remember now. Isn't ReedWeiWei RealWaterIsScentless' ex-wife?"

The party instantly falls silent. The atmosphere turns weird. Just as Wei Wei is about to explain they're marrying for the PK competition, she sees NaiHe calmly type:

ASmileNaiHe: Mmm. Your third sister-in-law just married the wrong person before. Don't discriminate against her.

Wei Wei chokes on her potato chip.

From then on, Wei Wei learns something important — when playing with Brother NaiHe, never eat or drink while questing, otherwise, every time he says something shocking, she either chokes or sprays the screen.

Playing bosses and quests with this team is truly enjoyable. First, everyone gets along well. Second, they are extremely efficient. Before, when Wei Wei grouped with her guild, they took forever to defeat bosses. Now everything is finished in no time.

Of course, the one who must be mentioned is ASmileNaiHe.

His class is Musician. In Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes, Musicians are awkwardly placed — they can do everything but aren't the best at anything. They can slash, use AoE attacks, assist, and heal, but swordsmen fight better, and dedicated support heal better. Normally, Musicians are pretty weak.

But with Great Master NaiHe...it's different.

His healing abilities are not inferior to a real healer. His APM is incredibly fast and accurate; no one needs to babysit him. Once, when a boss was about to die, NaiHe, who had been healing, suddenly pulled a sword from his guqin and used Sword Within the Guqin to deliver the final blow. Huge red damage numbers exploded over the boss before it collapsed.

Wei Wei has seen this skill before, but never that powerful. It was almost as strong as her own attacks.

She nearly cries out of jealousy — his equipment must be unbelievably strong!

So when Wei Wei sees his pet for the first time, she is already mentally prepared.

NaiHe's pet... is a white kitten.
