Zheng Xiaoguang turned her cellphone on and saw the message that Bluegreen-Clad had sent to her a few days ago—”I’m busy these days and may not have time to play the game.”

She wondered, “Since Saori stopped verbally abusing me on the Public Chat channel, Bluegreen-Clad has seldom gotten online. Is he really busy? Or is he deliberately avoiding me after seeing Venus’ photo on the official website?

“He doesn’t have to avoid me. If he really likes Venus, he can just divorce me. I won’t make any trouble for him, although I do feel somewhat reluctant to divorce him.”

She looked at the crowded street of the Celestial Dynasty on the screen and felt somewhat dejected.

She wondered, “They say that if you get used to being accompanied by someone else, you’ll feel lonely when you’re alone. When did I get used to being accompanied by Bluegreen-Clad?”

She had many missions to complete in her mission list, and she had not yet played any of the weekly instances. Despite that, she just did not want to do anything for the time being.

She waited for a long time, but Bluegreen-Clad still did not log onto the game. She felt somewhat agitated and logged off. She lay on her bed, trying to sleep, but she just could not stop herself from tossing and turning in her bed. As she could not fall asleep now, she got up and logged into her game account again. She ticked the system service, which would send a text message to her cellphone when Bluegreen-Clad was online.

Bluegreen-Clad did not log onto the game during the following two days. There was onetime Zheng Xiaoguang heard her cellphone ring and hurriedly picked it up. It turned out to be Blooming Pear Tree asking her if she was alright.

Since marrying her sister off to Bluegreen-Clad, Blooming Pear Tree had been busy with managing the gang by himself. After joining the League of Strong Families, Flowing Light seldom asked about the situation in the Matchless and could not help his big brother managing the gang again. In the beginning, Blooming Pear Tree found out that Flowing Light enjoyed her marriage, so he did not want to disturb them. When he heard about that thread on the forum recently, he felt worried.

Zheng Xiaoguang guessed that her big brother was probably reproaching himself for marrying her off to Bluegreen-Clad. After all, this was her big brother’s decision. She did not want her big brother to feel worried about her, so she told him that she was alright and just busy with her work.

After putting down her cellphone, she felt disappointed.

After work, Yang Sisi grabbed Zheng Xiaoguang’s hand and said, “Xiaoguang, come to my home for dinner this evening,”

Upon thinking that Bluegreen-Clad did not have time to play the game, Zheng Xiaoguang nodded to Yang Sisi.

The community where Yang Sisi lived was close to their company. It took them only 15 minutes to walk to her home. The moment the door was opened, Zheng Xiaoguang was surprised. A young man with glasses was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Yang Sisi said, “This is a relative of my neighbor. I used to tell her that I want to find a boyfriend for you. She immediately introduced this young man to me.” In fact, Yang Sisi did not want to force Zheng Xiaoguang to go on a blind date in this way. She really had no choice but to trick her into meeting this young man at her home, since Zheng Xiaoguang refused to have any blind date recently.

Before leaving for the kitchen, Yang Sisi whispered to Zheng Xiaoguang, “Go to have a talk with him first. I’ll go to the kitchen and cook some nice dishes for you.”

“I was set up.”

With this in mind, Zheng Xiaoguang walked toward the young man and then sat as far away from him as possible.

Upon seeing Zheng Xiaoguang take a seat, Yang Sisi asked her husband to help her in the kitchen.

The young man with glasses looked at Zheng Xiaoguang and said, “How about put the things down first?”

Zheng Xiaoguang discovered in surprise that she was still carrying the fruit that she had just bought downstairs and felt somewhat embarrassed. She hurriedly stood up, put the bags on the table in the living room and took out some jackfruit and longans.

As she bought them at a supermarket, they all had price tags.

The young man with glasses glanced at the price tags and said, “Why do you buy such expensive fruit? It costs 30 yuan per box. “And the longans, the cheap ones cost only 8 yuan a kilo. What you bought today cost 12.8 yuan a kilo.”

“I didn’t think that much. I bought them because I wanted to eat them.” Zheng Xiaoguang replied bashfully. Jackfruit was expensive, but she only bought two boxes of it. Longans that cost 8 yuan a kilo were the ones that had been picked out and left behind by the other customers. She did not want such longans, so she bought the ones that had just been put on the shelf. They were expensive, but none of them were rotten.

She really did not feel extravagant spending less than 100 yuan on the fruit today. Although, she did not earn much a month, she could still afford to eat some good quality fruit every day.

Upon hearing her reply, the young man with glasses was surprised and said, “Come on, nowadays prices of property and other goods are so high. You’d better learn to save money in your daily life. None of us is rich. Why do you have to live such an extravagant life?”

Zheng Xiaoguang felt annoyed, but the young man failed to notice that. He continued, “I can tell that you also buy your clothes at high street shops. Such a shop will charge you at least several hundred yuan for a piece of clothing. Forgive me for being blunt, you women buy lots of new clothes every year and throw them away after several months. Why do you have to buy expensive ones? You’re not loaded. Don’t waste your money like that.”

Upon hearing that, Zheng Xiaoguang knew for sure that she did not like this guy at all. She thought, “Well, many girls want to get married, but no girls want to lower their standard of living after getting married.

“Besides, I earn enough money to support myself now. I’m sure that I’ll be able to support myself after getting married. But this guy just keeps criticizing me for buy some good quality fruit and clothe. This is ridiculous. Maybe he just thinks that a woman like me doesn’t deserve these things.

“If I married such a guy, I would never be able to have some jackfruit again.”

Zheng Xiaoguang could not help but think of Bluegreen-Clad. Days ago, he had given her a seven-star Yellow Spring Sword and told her that his wife deserved anything. He said, “I think my wife can have anything in this game. It’s not a big deal. Why is it not worth the money?”

She thought, “Bluegreen-Clad is indeed a great guy. He never thinks that I don’t deserve something. He’s only worried that the things are not good enough for me.”

“No wonder they say that you’ll never understand it without experiencing it yourself and that once you meet a great guy, you’ll find that you’ll never be able to fall for someone else.”

The young man with glasses added, “As both of us are looking for a spouse, I think I can get straight to the point. To be frank, I have several brothers, and my family really doesn’t have enough money to buy me an apartment. I’m wondering if you and your family can pay the down payment after we get married. I’ll pay the mortgage every month, as long as you agree to add my name to the real estate certificate…”

Yang Sisi and her husband quickly put several dishes and bowls of rice on the table. Zheng Xiaoguang had a hard time finishing this meal. After dinner, Yang Sisi wanted her to stay a little longer. Zheng Xiaoguang refused by saying that she had something important to do and had to go home right now.

The young man with glasses did not seem to like her very much. He even did not ask her for her number before her departure. Zheng Xiaoguang left Yang Sisi’s home and went to the supermarket again. She bought three boxes of jackfruit there and then took a taxi home.

When she got home, she immediately opened her computer and logged onto the game. As the background music sounded, a female doctor dressed in “Untroubled” fashionable clothes appeared in a city of the Celestial Dynasty. In the meantime, many messages were flickering on her friend list.
