Chapter 39 What are you pretending to be?

Chapter 39 What are you pretending to be?

Zhai Xia Xia fell asleep on the sofa.

She was awakened by the sound of conversation and heavy rain at the door.

"It's so quiet." A man exclaimed, obviously not expecting such a big villa to be so quiet.

"I gave most of the nannies a holiday." Zhai Xia Xia looked up at the ceiling.

It's so noisy at home.

Zhai Xia Xia sat up from the sofa, and the first thing she saw was Cui Jing's face, still as gorgeous as a worm-eaten fruit in a gift box, and a little dim under the light from the door.

Her voice was cold and light, vague and ethereal, with a slight rise at the end, "I'm back."

Very nice.

After experiencing that incident, she didn't seem to be affected at all. That crazy guy named Fan had good vision.

"Oh..." Zhai Xia Xia drew out her tone.

After her beloved Xiao Lan was fired by Cui Jing, he reportedly found a job in an electronics factory with a nine-to-five job. He said that it was so enjoyable to work without having to use his brain that he refused to come back.

Later, Zhai Xia Xia gave up her plan to hire someone because after Xiao Lan left, the operation of the family was not affected at all. She even felt much more at ease and no longer had the irritability that made her want to smash things at every turn.

Zhai Xia Xia suddenly understood why she was upset all year round.

Abroad it’s because of the sunshine, at home it’s because of the people.

She lives alone all year round, and perhaps...she is unpleasant to people most of the time.

Zhai Xia Xia looked behind Cui Jing twice and said, "Why is it you, kid?"

"Hello, sister." Jie Jin was much more polite to his beloved's sister. He was well-behaved and had a sweet smile. His curly hair was a little wet and his eyes were sunny.

"I happen to have time. I will help bring Sister Cui...Sister Cui back."

……

Zhai Yang rushed back for dinner.

He finished the last task at hand and quickly left for home. Before leaving, he adjusted his collar in the office to make sure it was straight.

There was no point in straightening his clothes, as they only lasted for a dozen minutes. When he came back, he was only visible to everyone for a second, his tie was untied and thrown on the rack, and his collar was messy again.

He took off his coat and sat down at the dining table. Xie Jin saw that he sat directly between Zhai Xia Xia and Cui Jing. He sat down next to Cui Jing unwillingly.

"How was your fun?" Zhai Yang asked.

"Not bad, the sun is shining brightly." Cui Jing picked up a cup of tea.

As she was talking, there was suddenly a shrimp in Cui Jing's bowl. She looked over and saw it was Jie Jin.

He peeled several of them with gloves on at a fast speed, and gave them to the two ladies present. He gave the last one to Zhai Yang, which vividly explained what it means to "want to hug you, so I hugged everyone in the class."

But it was obvious that she was the only one present who knew his heart.

"Eat it yourself, I don't like it." Zhai Yang felt a little sticky.

"Why didn't your brother come to play? I haven't seen him for a long time. Peel a few more for your sister." This was Zhai Xia Xia's impolite response.

"Thank you." Cui Jing thanked politely.

Another shrimp was put into Cui Jing's bowl. When Zhai Yang picked up the untouched shrimp, Cui Jing seemed to hear a heartbreaking sound. She looked at the person who was busy peeling the shrimp.

The curve of the smile on the boy's lips did not drop at all.

……

After dinner, the rain got heavier and heavier. It was unsafe to drive in such heavy rain, so Xie Jin naturally stayed overnight and pulled Zhai Yang to close the door and play games.

Cui Jing passed by the game room, thought about it, knocked on the door and asked him if he needed water.

Zhai Yang opened the door and saw Cui Jing wearing a cotton nightgown with a baby collar and holding a pot of fruit tea.

Zhai Yang noticed that she was not sincere and said with a bad taste in his mouth, "Yes, thank you for your hard work, Madam."

As she said this, she took the whole pot of her fruit tea away.

Cui Jing's eyes widened slightly, and she didn't say anything for a long time. Her slightly upturned lips opened and closed gently, as if asking for a kiss.

Zhai Yang fixed his eyes on it, and suddenly turned his head with a big reaction, and said casually, "Well... do you want to play two games?"

He held the game console in his hand forward, and his loss of composure only lasted for a moment before Jie Jin noticed it.

"No." Cui Jing rejected it with a glance. It was actually the game she had played in the real world.

Xie Jin thought about it for a while, "How about a couple of rounds? Let Brother Zhai teach you."

This is an internal beta version of a friend's company. It's still a bit brain-intensive and tiring to play, so the difficulty and playability have been balanced and debugged.

Once you have taught, you will know how annoying it is to teach people. Brother Zhai does not have the patience to teach people these things.

"No." Cui Jing wasn't very interested.

Jie Jin strongly recommended it, and his words were innocent. Cui Jing was annoyed by him. She looked up and saw that Zhai Yang seemed to be interested. "Give it a try?"

"I'll be your sister-in-law's sparring partner!"

Cui Jing looked at Li Jin for a while and said gently, "Okay, then you can be my sparring partner."

Don't collapse then, little green tea.

Being stared at by her like this, Xie Jin felt a little guilty, and his heart skipped a few beats. "No problem, I am very patient and will definitely teach my sister-in-law well."

It's one thing to be patient, it's another to be so overwhelmed that you don't want to play.

Jie Jin and Zhai Yang surrounded Cui Jing, and they were very close to each other. If anyone else was surrounded by these two handsome guys with different styles, they would have blushed and their heart would have beat fast. However, Cui Jing did not feel that way, she just felt a little hot.

"Turn down the air conditioning a little."

Jie Jin reached for the remote control and turned down the temperature, but he felt that her fragrance was too much at such a close distance and was extremely distracting.

Fortunately, he was fond of the game, and he was so immersed in it that he almost pushed Zhai Yang aside.

Zhai Yang was displeased no matter how he looked at him. He stretched out a hand to grab Jie Jin's neck and dragged him backwards. Before Jie Jin could even enjoy the joy in his heart, a basin of cold water was poured on his head.

"Keep a safe distance from my wife. You are not a kid anymore."

Xie Jin was discouraged for a moment, "We have learned almost everything, so let's practice together first."

Cui Jing hadn't played games for a long time. Some of the game settings were somewhat inconsistent with her original world, which made the combos she performed unconsciously somewhat contradictory.

She would bite her lip unconsciously when she felt regretful.

It was the flesh inside the lip, which was not easily visible when biting. Only after she relaxed her lips, the mucous membrane on the inner side was exposed with teeth marks, and the lip flesh was slightly swollen.

Zhai Yang wanted her to stop biting.

He was slow and his little man was hit by the mechanism and lost some blood. Then he saw Cui Jing's little green man had already hit the GG ending, and the team's ranking continued to decline.

Xie Jin reluctantly comforted Cui Jing, "It's okay, this is how it is the first time."

"Come on, we're almost familiar with it." Cui Jing invited Jie Jin.

Zhai Yang glanced at Jie Jin.

After receiving the warning from his eyes, Xie Jin began to feel uncomfortable, since it was not him who took the initiative to invite them.

What is familiar is almost there, why pretend?

You sent this up yourself.

He didn't have time to save her. Xie Jin was already imagining Cui Jing being tormented by the machine and dying several times in a few minutes, and being so shocked that tears were swirling in her eyes and refused to fall.

Soon the smile on his face froze.

The little fat green man on the screen has an impressive posture and agile movements. The green man avoids several obstacles in succession, uses several tools to obtain a treasure chest, and then makes a series of attacks.

Cui Jing performed the moves smoothly and became more and more proficient as time went by.

The tall and thin man Jie Jin was killed by the machine gun and his blood was visible to the naked eye. He was distracted by surprise and couldn't sit still, and he couldn't help but let out a series of exclamations.

"Grass! [a kind of plant] ah! oh! huh..."

His flustered look wasn't as annoying as before.

The smile on Cui Jing's lips became more sincere. Her slender fingers skillfully controlled the green fat boy. She used a series of corresponding tools and movements to offset the attack and then received a resurrection gem in the package.

The green fat man moved lightly and went back to find his tall and thin teammate and filled up his precarious health bar.

The ranking in the internal beta area rose by more than ten places.

"Follow me." Cui Jing said.

Xie Jin's heart was filled with tears, "But I can't keep up." Then he heard Cui Jing's chuckle.

Xie Jin: I feel like my intelligence has been looked down upon.

"Come here." Cui Jing habitually used a commanding tone as she did when she was controlling her teammates in the familiar field. "Pay attention, don't be dazed, come over here."

Xie Jin honestly controlled the villain to move forward, and he was still a little dazed when he finally achieved victory.

Did it end like this? He managed to pass the test despite being a hindrance. The key point is that he was led!

Xie Jin spoke before his mind did, "Sister Cui, play another round with me."

Cui Jing has left.

Xie Jin put the game controller on the ground in a huff, then picked it up again when he realized what he was doing and approached Zhai Yang, his good brother, "Brother Zhai, let's start a game."

The two of them watched in silence as large green bloodstains appeared on the screen again.

Jie Jin suddenly felt a little disappointed. The two of them really had no tacit understanding. "How about... let's just go to bed."

Zhai Yang looked at him, his dark eyes somewhat tired, "You are right."

Zhai Yang put down the handle, walked around the door for a few times and knocked. It was Zhai Xia Xia who opened the door.

"Why are you here? Isn't this my room?"

"Not all of it is yours."

"Incomplete? You can't live here." Zhai Yang became angrier the more he thought about it. He had to knock on the door before entering his own room, but her sister just moved in directly.

"Why can't I live with her?" Zhai Xia Xia was in a bad mood. Her hair was as messy as ever, and her face looked aggrieved, as if she was bullied and yelling helplessly.

Thunder roared, and Zhai Xia Xia hugged her pillow and said angrily, "Cui Jing has no objection."

It's your turn to speak.

As she said this, she glanced at Cui Jing in the room again.

Cui Jing was still sitting aside watching TV. Zhai Xia Xia's mood suddenly improved. Zhai Yang pressed his temples with a headache, his expression cold and impatient, and said, "It's up to you."

At night, Zhai Xia Xia turned over, hesitated for a moment, and hugged Cui Jing's waist. She seemed to be asleep and did not reject his sudden touch at all.

Zhai Xia Xia looked at her profile curiously, thinking about the argument with her brother, and she didn't take sides at all.

Why don't you care?

Cui Jing, do you really not like him anymore?

Is there anyone else you care about?

Zhai Xia Xia's amazing sharpness gave her the answer: no.

The rain grew heavier late into the night. Zhai Xia Xia was awakened by the light of lightning while half asleep and half awake. Then the thunder vibrated like the long, old groan of a mountain, and the whole world was shaking.

Zhai Xia Xia opened her eyes, and the person in her arms snorted in dissatisfaction. Her long eyelashes cast long and beautiful shadows under the silent lightning, like the antennae of a butterfly.

The cold fragrance lingers in the air.

Zhai Xia Xia buried his whole face in her, turned down the air conditioner and pulled up the quilt. The two of them were wrapped tightly, and their breathing gradually calmed down.

"Boom, boom..." Thunder sounded throughout the night.
