Chapter 790: The water is too deep, you can't grasp it
No matter for Jiang Kui or for Lin Yao, this fan meeting was destined to be unforgettable.
When she left the Lin family's place, Jiang Kui looked utterly bewildered.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
If it weren't for the selfie with Lin Yao on her phone, Jiang Kui would have thought it was all a dream.
Right.
It seemed she had made plans with Zhao Ying Ge today, to hang out at her place.
Getting into the car, Jiang Kui set off.
Half an hour later, Jiang Kui arrived at Zhao Ying Ge's home.
Zhao Ying Ge, dressed in a silk red pajama set that left little to the imagination, greeted Jiang Kui with a complaint as she opened the door:
"I thought you stood me up, why did it take you so long to get here?"
The relationship between Yu Dynasty's singers depended on Xian Yu, sometimes good, sometimes bad.
When things were good, the girls were like besties, occasionally meeting in private.
Today, the two of them were on very good terms, sitting together in the same little boat of friendship.
"Sorry."
Jiang Kui stuck out her tongue and explained, "I had to make a last-minute trip to Teacher Admirable Fish's place, which caused some delay."
Boom!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ying Ge seemed as if she had been struck by lightning, standing frozen with her normally large eyes now bulging, the phrase "went to Teacher Admirable Fish's house" echoing ceaselessly in her mind.
Jiang Kui stamped her foot:
"Let's not talk about that, I need to use the restroom."
"Take your time thinking!"
"I'm asking where your bathroom is!"
"Figure it out yourself!"
Zhao Ying Ge said coldly.
The little boat of friendship had just capsized.
Eventually, Jiang Kui still found the bathroom and had a huge relief.
Coming out, feeling refreshed, Jiang Kui looked up to meet a pair of deep, dark eyes.
Jiang Kui got a fright:
"What's your problem, Zhao Ying Ge? You actually hang around sniffing while someone's using the bathroom?"
"Did you really go to Teacher Admirable Fish's place?"
"Yes."
Jiang Kui thought back to the awkward eye contact with Lin Yao at Teacher Admirable Fish's home, her expression becoming complex.
...
I've never been there!
Zhao Ying Ge felt sour inside.
As far as she remembered, only Sun Yaohuo had been to Teacher Admirable Fish's place within the Yu Dynasty.
Suddenly, she stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Kui's hand:
Jiang Kui stepped back half a step, her face wary:
"What are you trying to do?"
"You have designs on Teacher Admirable Fish too, don't you?"
"I don't!"
Jiang Kui's face immediately flushed red.
Zhao Ying Ge shook her head: "Kui, don't blame me for being blunt, but because you're young, you don't understand, you're not as clear on these things as your sister here."
Jiang Kui: "..."
We're about the same age.
If you had to say what's bigger about you than me...
Jiang Kui glanced down at her own flat chest, then looked back up at the other's Mount Everest, sighing inwardly.
"Kui."
Zhao Ying Ge tightened her grip on Jiang Kui's hand, speaking earnestly:
"Listen to your sister's advice, a lot of things are illusionary, the waters here are deep, you're too young to handle it, let sister take care of it for you."
Jiang Kui: "???"
You taking care of it for me, sure.
I think you're just daydreaming.
With a huff, Jiang Kui shook off Zhao Ying Ge and said with a pout, "Although I also like Teacher Admirable Fish, my liking doesn't quite have the same yellow trashy quality as yours. I went to Teacher Admirable Fish's place because her little sister is a fan of my songs."
It's the influence of the family environment.
Jiang Kui was completely disinterested in romance.
After staring at Jiang Kui for a few seconds, Zhao Ying Ge revealed a joyful smile, and the ship of friendship made its return, although she still felt a sour twinge about Teacher Admirable Fish's sister liking Jiang Kui:
"Come on, beauty, log in, let's game!"
"So you called me over just to play games?"
"You haven't played it, you don't understand, this game is so much fun. Sun Yaohuo recommended it to me. At first, when he said this game was very interesting, I didn't believe him, but once I started, I was totally hooked, I couldn't stop!"
"What game?"
Jiang Kui followed Zhao Ying Ge to the computer and then saw the name of the game, "Plants vs. Zombies."
"Is it fun?"
"Give it a try."
Ten minutes later, Jiang Kui sat in front of the computer, a screen with ghastly green font appeared, accompanied by a spine-chilling laugh:
"The zombies have eaten your brains!"
Jiang Kui was startled. Was this damn thing actually a horror game?
Her body was small, but her spirit was defiant.
Another round!
Meanwhile, next to her.
Zhao Ying Ge was also trying hard to clear levels; she had several computers at her home.
Before long.
The same words appeared on her screen too.
"Brains eaten by zombies again."
Zhao Ying Ge said in frustration, "This level is really hard, but the game is so much fun."
"It is fun, but what about the team-up we talked about? Don't bull me just because I'm not a bookworm, how are we supposed to team up in a single-player game?"
"Just wait."
Zhao Ying Ge turned her head and pulled back the curtains.
In the pitch-black room, Zhao Ying Ge said with a smile:
"Team up!"
Jiang Kui: "..."
Another hour passed.
The two of them became full-blown internet addicts, thoroughly enjoying themselves, their cheerful laughter echoed through the room, and they were constantly sharing their gaming insights and experiences with each other.
"How come this zombie is shielded by doors and windows from bullets!"
"Doors and windows are nothing, this zombie is even wearing armor!"
"This one's awesome!"
"Ah, Zhao Ying Ge, you're so dirty!"
"What are you thinking? Who is dirty here? I'm talking about that dancing zombie, it's clearly doing Teacher Admirable Fish's Moonwalk. Could it be that it's based on Teacher Admirable Fish himself? I just wonder if they paid the royalties, there's even a damn zombie doing backup vocals!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
"What's so funny?"
"Don't you think that the zombie doing backup vocals for the Moonwalk zombie looks a lot like Sun Yaohuo? Hahahahaha!"
"Pfft, it really does!"
"Was this game recommended by Sun Yaohuo? Could it be that he paid to make it himself?"
"He wouldn't know the first thing about games."
"..."
The two were completely immersed in the game.
Besides the main campaign, they also discovered the adventure mode, which included many interesting mini-games. It was different from the campaign mode, but it was just as refreshing and highly playable!
Of course.
Every time the zombies ate their brains, they sighed in dissatisfaction, then rallied with even more determination.
At the same time.
Online, platforms had set up some small ads to promote the game.
Soon, people began to discover the appeal of "Plants vs. Zombies."
For just ten bucks to download, there were always people willing to give it a try, and once they did, many quickly became addicted to it.
Fun!
Fresh!
And a little thrilling!
After playing the game, some sharing enthusiasts immediately began passionately recommending it to their friends!
And so it went.
One told ten.
Ten told a hundred.
As more and more people discovered "Plants vs. Zombies," the game finally began to gain popularity online!
