A virtual princess? She's a real princess!

"I'm exhausted lately, Xiaoxiao. My friend recommended a mala tang place, let's go eat there tomorrow!"

He was playing Candy Crush on the bed while chatting with Lin Zhiqing.

"sure"

"OK, then I'll pick you up tomorrow," Lin Zhiqing mumbled, her voice slurred as she applied a face mask.

"oops!"

"What's wrong, Xiaoxiao?!"

"I couldn't get past the match-3 puzzle again."

So annoying!

She tried all the items but they were useless. In this match-3 game, you get a star for every game you win.

Stars can be used to decorate rooms and gardens. Bian Xiao has already played many levels to build his home.

It's a pity that stars are hard to accumulate, but they're easy to spend. Two stars for an escalator carpet and two stars for a handrail!

Heaven knows she only got one star after playing for ages (ノ?`?′?)ノ︵?

"Oh, that? Why don't you find someone to play for you or buy stars?" Lin Zhiqing had played this game before, and the match-3 game gave her a headache.

"You can find it on 1688, just search for it."

"okok"

Great! Now we can play all the time!

Log in to 1688, find the Star Purchase Store, and directly purchase the most luxurious package with permanent unlimited stars.

However, following the instructions from the store, it just wouldn't work. I tried another store, and the same thing happened.

That's outrageous. I don't want her to play anymore?

I'm angry.

"I don't know, Xiaoxiao. I just pressed the buttons on my phone and it was OK," Lin Zhiqing said, scratching her head in confusion.

"Qingqing, wait a minute, my brother called me."

After hanging up the phone with Lin Zhiqing, Sadwell's voice came through.

—Sadwell: "What is the baby doing?"

—Bian Xiao: "Brother! Why are you calling me so late, oh no, so early?"

—Sadwell: "Peyton just told me there's something wrong with your phone. What are you doing?"

Huh? So it really is my phone.

After explaining to her brother, Sadwell said that if she wanted to do this again, she should just contact Tina and arrange for technicians to debug it for her.

Sadwell stated, "Your phone is always protected."

To prevent information leaks, unauthorized intrusions, and other such situations.

Since there were no major problems, Sadwell insisted on teasing Bian Xiao and coaxing him a bit before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

The expensive pen was being casually tapped on the table, and Sadwell seemed to lose interest in working.

That heartless bastard has never video-called him even once.

As the child grows up, he always yearns for life outside and ignores his lonely older brother at home.

......

Wearing light blue jeans and a white turtleneck underneath, topped with a beige coat with dark blue stripes, and a beige headband to hold down her wavy curls, she exudes an elegant, casual yet lively vibe.

Xiao Bao threw down his bag and jumped into Lin Zhiqing's arms.

"Hey, hey, hey, if you're hugging my wife, who am I supposed to hug?" Qiao Yanzhou was originally close to Lin Zhiqing, with his arm around her waist, but Lin Zhiqing broke free from his embrace in order to pick up her best friend.

"Ugh~ How disgusting are you, still calling me 'wife' like that?" Bian Xiao raised his head from Lin Zhiqing's arms and rolled his eyes at Qiao Yanzhou.

My best friend looked at her boyfriend, and ugh, she just didn't like it.

“Ayan said he’s waiting for us near the shop,” Bian Xiao said after sitting up straight.

"Never mind him," Lin Zhiqing hugged Bian Xiao with one arm, gently rubbing her soft chin and stroking her long, silky hair. "I'll hold you."

"Wife! What about me?!" Qiao Yanzhou accused incredulously, pointing to himself.

"Go cool off somewhere else," she said, snorting at Bian Xiao. "Don't bother me while I'm snuggling with my baby."

Seeing Bian Xiao looking at her smugly with his chin held high, Qiao Yanzhou gave a very polite wail, turning her back to the two sisters and shaking her shoulders in a fake cry, "Waaaaah, you value your friends more than your boyfriend, waaaaah!"

Hahahahahaha

The two sisters burst into laughter.

The mala tang (spicy hot pot) restaurant was bustling with activity at the entrance of a slightly older residential area.

Wow, this looks delicious!

"Yes, there are so many people in line."

"Where's Ayan? Didn't she say she'd wait for us here?"

I looked around but couldn't see it.

"Let me ask," Qiao Yanzhou opened Fetion, "He's already reserved a spot inside, we can just go in."

The two girls walked hand in hand, while Qiao Yanzhou followed behind, pulling two small bags. The usually cool young man suddenly looked somewhat comical and adorable.

The handsome men and beautiful women, dressed in elegant attire, attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered the store.

No need to look, it's probably that boy's companion.

There's no other reason than that Xiao Shuyan, sitting in this simple mala tang restaurant near the window, practically radiated light.

He has an upright posture, a straight nose and thin lips, deep-set eyes and brows, and a calm and aloof demeanor. His handsomeness is not aggressive, but rather a clear and refined temperament.

In short, he's not like an ordinary kid.

"Ayan!" Bian Xiao waved.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the coldness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a warm smile, "Xiaoxiao, you're here."

"I'm starving! Let's get the food quickly!" Lin Zhiqing cried out halfway there, her mouth watering at the smell of the hot pot restaurant.

Several people took their dishes to the shop owner to have them cooked, while the driver sat at another table.

The old man was counting the money as he put it down, while the old woman looked at the several handsome children, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"They're all students, right?"

"Yes, Grandma" means that we should be polite to the elderly.

"Where does the little girl go to school?" The old ladies activated their first skill.

"Mingke's," Lin Zhiqing replied, pointing to her own portion, "Grandpa, I want mine extra spicy!"

"Hey, Mingke is great!" As a top-tier high school, Mingke has a great reputation, and many parents in the store turned around to look at the students.

Their eyes were full of envy; they truly hoped that their own child would one day achieve success in the Ming Dynasty.

The old lady liked it even more now; a beautiful child with good grades is exactly what old ladies love most.

"Is Nannan mixed race?" Bian Xiao's green eyes were truly the most eye-catching feature in the crowd.

"Yes, Grandma," she leaned closer and exclaimed, "It smells so good, my mouth is watering!"

"My dear, I'm not bragging, but our family business has been around for decades. We even have internet celebrities who come here specifically to eat."

Even without Grandma saying anything, the four of them could tell from the smell that it was pretty good. Bian Xiao, Lin Zhiqing, and Qiao Yanzhou addressed her as "Grandma" sweetly, showering her with compliments. The old lady was beaming with joy.

"Old man, give me a discount." He secretly offered a discount to the four of them.

Having enjoyed the old lady's love, Qiao Yanzhou and Xiao Shuyan each carried two full bowls of spicy hot pot back to their seats.

"Really delicious!"

"Mmm!" There was no mouth to speak anymore.

It's spicy but not overpowering; this is homemade chili oil, not artificially produced chili extract.

The bone broth is rich and fragrant, without any milk or anything like that added. Take a sip of the soup and then slurp up some sweet potato noodles.

The glass noodles are soft, chewy, and flavorful; they break easily with a bite and melt in your mouth.

Bian Xiao's lips were red from eating, and his eyes were watering from the spiciness, but he kept his head down and kept eating.

Seeing this, Xiao Shuyan ordered four cups of warm milk tea for delivery. Seeing Bian Xiao and Lin Zhiqing with a large bowl of bright red vegetables, she was worried that the two of them would feel unwell later.

After ordering takeout, she busied herself handing Bian Xiao a tissue to wipe his mouth.

"Hey, wait a minute, I haven't finished eating yet," she nudged Ayan with her elbow, telling her not to disturb her while she was eating.

Lin Zhiqing nudged Qiao Yanzhou with her elbow. The simple-minded man glanced at her, asking, "What's wrong?"

Oh!

Those who suddenly realized what was happening also started handing out papers.

Lin Zhiqing was speechless. Oh well, she chose her own boyfriend. She gestured for Hanhan to come closer.

"Look at those two," she said, pointing at Bian Xiao and Xiao Shuyan across from her.

Xiao Shuyan was brushing the strands of hair that were hanging beside the bowl behind Bian Xiao's ear.

The young couple couldn't help but exchange a smile, laughing like weasels in a melon patch.

......

The old lady was right, there really are internet celebrities.
