A Slight Smile is Very Charming

Part 9: Duel

While eating, Si Si is still upset that they didn't come earlier. Otherwise, they might have been eating their meal at the table next to Xiao Nai. Er Xi knocks her out of it by saying, "Stop dreaming. The people with brother Xiao looked like professionals. They needed to discuss business; and definitely reserved a private room."

On the side, Xiao Ling tries to hold in what she wants to say, but ends up saying, "I heard that it seems like brother Xiao's company has run into some problems."

"No way."

Wei Wei and Er Xi also have looks of disbelief on them. To the underclassmen of the Computer Science Department, Xiao Nai exists on a spiritual level. How can there be problems?

"I heard from Da Zhong. Da Zhong has a basketball teammate who went to work for Xiao Nai's company after graduating. The day before yesterday, he was eating lunch with Da Zhong and divulged a few things after drinking a lot. It seems like it's a problem with investments. It happened in just these few days."

Si Si says: "I still don't really believe it. It's Xiao Nai!"

Wei Wei, who is in the middle of biting into a chicken wing and can't say anything, nods her head fiercely to express her agreement on what is just said. It's Xiao Nai! If someone who is really tremendous and really formidable is know as an ox (牛 trans: awesome), then Xiao Nai has to be an rhinoceros (犀牛) ~~~ rhinoceros is a rare ox, a rarely seen ox...Can there also be things he can't resolve?

Then again, thinking about Xiao Nai's expression just now, underneath the light; he was still chatting and smiling before he became apathetic in the blink of an eye. Wei Wei isn't very sure anymore.

Er Xi asks knowingly, "Is it a funding problem?"

"I don't know." Xiao Ling emphasizes, "I can't guarantee the reliability of this, but even if this is false, you guys had better not talk about it to others."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh." Wei Wei nods and says, unclearly, with a chicken wing in her mouth, "Promise, won't say anything. It'll disappear like today's chicken wings."

When all is said and done, a genius' world is still too far out of reach. After discussing this topic for a bit, they quickly move onto talking about another topic. After eating, they return to the dorm room and Wei Wei goes online as soon as she can. But, strangely, no one on her friends list is on. Wei Wei is overcome with boredom. Thinking about the Couples PK Competition, she goes onto the game forum.

In the past, Wei Wei didn't often visit the forums, nor did she look at guides, because she always felt that the delightful part of a game is the exploration. If you already know everything, then there is no meaning to it. But then, after she got married to NaiHe, with the mentality of taking care of the Great Master, Wei Wei will often roam around the forums and read up on things such as married couple's skills. For a period of time, she even studied up on having a child. But when she saw that to have a child, they needed to enter the bridal room for an hour, and, after getting pregnant, the female's skills will weaken; and if she fights too much, she might have a miscarriage...

Wei Wei immediately dispelled any thoughts of having a child.

This game is really too twisted!

After scrolling through the forums for a bit, she didn't see new news on the PK competition. Instead, she sees a very popular post that RealWaterIsScentless wrote on the front page. The topic is: "(Video) [Entry] Our story — The Falling Rain Causes Ripples in the Heart of the Water"

Wei Wei knows about the "Our story" event. It is one of the relatively popular new events. The event requires players to use the game's recording feature and record a love story within "Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes." There is no limit to the length, the reward is generous, and the winner is voted upon by the players. In fact, it is just to record a short movie using "Dream Voyage in Rivers and Lakes'" recording feature. It isn't that hard, so many players are participating.
