Seeing the text that appeared on the screen, Xu Jianxing and Su Wan'er looked at each other, not knowing what to say. At this moment, Xu Jianxing finally realized that his "wife" was actually acquainted with his "sister-in-law," and they might even work at the same company, something he had never imagined before.
"Really hidden deep!" Xu Jianxing couldn't help but exclaim.
As Xu Jianxing sighed, Su Wan'er looked at him with a bitter smile, "Brother-in-law, what should we do?"
"You decide." Although Xu Jianxing spoke with a carefree tone, he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. After all, the internet and reality are two completely different realms. On one side, there was the almost obedient "little wife" in the game, and on the other, a big question mark in reality. He really didn't know what would happen in the future.
"What do you mean, 'you decide'?" Su Wan'er shot a disapproving glance at Xu Jianxing. If she didn't know that the other party couldn't possibly know her address or her "sister's" identity in the game, she would have suspected that this brother-in-law had ulterior motives. However, she quickly dismissed this thought because she knew too much about this "brother-in-law."
Not only was he warm-hearted and liked making friends, but he also had a domineering side in the game. Of course, this domineering side wasn't directed at others but mainly at his sister and money.
As everyone knows, to play a game well, spending money is inevitable. The more you spend, the better your equipment, and the less likely you are to be beaten up by others.
However, this brother-in-law not only didn't spend money himself but also didn't let his sister spend much. To date, Lu Qian had only recharged once, and that was only 200 yuan. Even then, Xu Jianxing had given her a severe scolding.
He said he came to play, not to spend money. If he played happily, he could have fun without spending a dime. If he spent money to find happiness in the game, it would only mean that he was a failure in real life.
If you like to spend money to play, then I won't serve you. I like the unknown process, not the result bought with money.
This left Lu Qian speechless at the time. Although what he said made some sense, it was a bit of a sophistry. However, the feeling of being cared for was quite comforting.
Moreover, during the year they played, Lu Qian had gone out to fight a few times with Xu Jianxing. Each time she saw Xu Jianxing being beaten up by other RMB players and being called a "waste," she had thought about recharging, but Xu Jianxing's words always deflated her.
These words were, "If you like to spend money to play, then I won't serve you."
Of course, there were also many witty and comforting words. For example, Xu Jianxing would say that these people were so unsuccessful in real life that they used money to vent in the game. Being killed by them, to some extent, comforted their wounded hearts, which was a good deed.
Although he said this, Xu Jianxing sometimes felt very frustrated and even thought about recharging. However, thinking of his hardworking parents, this thought quickly dissipated.
If it weren't for the friends he made in the game, Xu Jianxing would have given up long ago. After all, his initial purpose for entering the game was to use his idle computer to earn a little money. As the game became more and more difficult, earning money became increasingly hard.
However, after playing for a year, Xu Jianxing had earned several thousand yuan in the game, mainly by buying low and selling high at night. Of course, he didn't neglect his wife. Although he didn't give her good equipment, he did give her a lot of game currency. The other party seemed to understand his situation and rarely spent money, sometimes even giving him better equipment to sell. As for the money, she wouldn't ask for it back. In a way, they were like a real married couple, inseparable.
This made Lu Qian not only find it amusing but also deeply moved. She never expected to find such a high-quality "husband" in the game, one who cared for her so much.
To date, no matter how late she came home, Lu Qian always left a message on the computer, "Honey, good night."
Back to the topic.
Seeing the long silence in the chat box, Lu Qian chuckled and sent a smug expression, "Little girl, why aren't you talking? Out of words, huh?"
Su Wan'er was speechless at the reply and then responded, "Sister, I'm not joking. Let's skip the video for now. I'm afraid you're not prepared. If you don't believe me, you can call me and let the brother-in-law talk to you."
"Thump..."
Reading the message, Lu Qian's heart skipped a beat, "Could it be true?"
If it were in the past, even if the little girl was playing a prank, she wouldn't have done it repeatedly. Jokes were one thing, but this didn't fit her character.
Thinking about this, Lu Qian felt a bit nervous. However, a thought drove her to take out her phone, find a number, and dial it...
"Here!"
Hearing the phone ring, Su Wan'er glanced at Xu Jianxing mischievously and answered, "Sister."
Hearing "sister," Lu Qian couldn't help but sigh in relief, but there was also a sense of loss. She then said with a hint of annoyance, "You little brat, you said you weren't lying to me."
"Sister, my dear sister, I really didn't lie to you. Do you want the brother-in-law to talk to you?" Su Wan'er said exaggeratedly.
"Fine, I want to see how you play this. Let the brother-in-law talk to me, hmpf, hmpf!" Lu Qian huffed, clearly not believing it.
"Hehe." Su Wan'er laughed and handed the phone to the nervous Xu Jianxing, "Brother-in-law, it's your sister on the phone."
This made Xu Jianxing, who took the phone, a bit uneasy. He didn't know how to start, although they had reached a point in the game where they could talk about anything, the current situation was completely different.
Xu Jianxing was struggling and nervous, but Lu Qian, who didn't know the situation, wasn't nervous at all. After listening for a while, she only heard some slightly hurried breathing and said lazily, "Speak up, why aren't you talking, you little brat? I want to see how you play this."
Hearing the familiar and pleasant voice, Xu Jianxing couldn't help but say, "Wife!"
"Wi... Wife!"
Hearing "wife," Lu Qian's mind felt like it was exploding. The voice was familiar, a bit deeper than the "husband" in the game. Although it had changed a bit, she was almost certain that the person on the other end of the phone might really be her "husband"!
However, Lu Qian still had some doubts. She wondered if Su Wan'er had found someone to deliberately play a prank on her. But thinking about it, she didn't believe it. She knew her authority in the company and didn't think the intelligent Su Wan'er would do such a thing. This wasn't a simple joke.
After a moment's thought, Lu Qian took a deep breath and said seriously, "Are you Flying Wings in the game?"
"Uh, uh." Xu Jianxing nodded, feeling that his wife's voice was completely different from the one in the game, as if she had transformed into a queen.
"What proof do you have? Don't tell me about the account. If you're my husband in the game, you should know what I mean."
From Xu Jianxing's money-making methods in the game, Lu Qian knew he was somewhat clever. She believed that if he was her husband in the game, he would understand what she meant.
"I understand!" Xu Jianxing said with a bitter smile. He did understand because his first rule in the game was never to lend money through any text. If someone wanted to borrow money from him, they had to talk through voice chat. There were too many stolen accounts in the game, and he had been scammed once before.
Although his equipment in the game wasn't good, he still had a lot of money on his character. At the moment, the money on his character could be exchanged for over 1500 yuan, which was a significant amount for him.
Steadying his emotions, Xu Jianxing pushed Su Wan'er, who was listening, to the side and walked to his bedroom, making Su Wan'er shout in frustration, "Brother-in-law, you're being unfair! I severely despise you!"
Hearing this, Xu Jianxing's mood stabilized. He turned and laughed, "Whisper, don't you know what whispering is?" Without waiting for Su Wan'er's response, he closed the door with a "bang."
This made Lu Qian, who could clearly hear the noise on the phone, feel her heart skip a beat again. She became nervous, "Could this person really be my husband?"
Closing the door, Xu Jianxing sat on the bed and said, "Xin Xin, can you hear me?"
"I can hear you."
Xin Xin was the nickname Xu Jianxing used for Lu Qian in the game, and they always called each other this way in private. Lu Qian understood this very well. Hearing this nickname, her breathing quickened. She knew the real test was about to begin. A few words would reveal whether this man was her husband in the game, as they had shared many private conversations, and some things were only expressed in text.
Sure enough, Xu Jianxing said, "Xin Xin, I remember you once said you were frigid, you..."
