T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World

Jiang Heyi, who had just finished washing up and gone to bed, was using the last bit of time to scroll through her phone.

She asked curiously, "Why didn't you ask me about that headset back then?"

"what?"

Jiang Heyi turned his head to the side in confusion, as if wondering why this topic was suddenly brought up.

Gazing into the wide, curious eyes of the woman who had moved slightly closer to him, Jiang Heyi recalled the moment and gave a slightly embarrassed dry laugh.

"Judging from the box of snacks you sent me, I think you might be a socially awkward person who doesn't like to communicate and is even a bit withdrawn."

"After thinking about it, apart from the lack of communication being torturous, you actually played quite well."

"I couldn't sleep the night I received the snacks. It felt like a little kid had given me a box of gifts as an apology, begging me not to mind and to keep playing with them."

“I recalled that day when I said you weren’t human, and I was afraid you would misunderstand and cause internal strife. I was worried and anxious, and I was also causing internal strife myself.”

French fries stared wide-eyed.

She hadn't expected Jiang Heyi to have such a rich inner monologue at that moment.

"I left without a word to prepare for the college entrance exam. What were you thinking?"

The fries were getting closer and closer to the cricket pupae.

"what……"

"I feel your condition has worsened."

"That's it?"

“I was worried too. When people mentioned you in group chats, I would check the chat history,” Jiang Heyi added. “After all, you weren’t my girlfriend back then.”

French Fries couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from turning up.

She wouldn't ask such a stupid question as "What about now?"

Posing hypothetical questions will only embarrass the big dog next to you.

If you like a dog, you should rub its head and stroke its fur, not stomp on its tail.

When they lived together, French Fries discovered that Jiang Heyi always took good care of her.

This has nothing to do with the fact that the two were close to achieving financial freedom at the time.

If you want to eat something, just tell him the name of the dish, and he will come back with bags and bags of ingredients.

She said her cooking skills weren't as good as Cuttlefish's, but she always managed to surprise her.

Given his punctual online presence in the gaming group, if he were just an ordinary office worker, as long as his after-dinner gaming time wasn't interfered with, he would be as easy to please as a puppy.

Therefore, she never understood why Du Jingwen was making things difficult for Zhong Zemo.

If you let him stay home and play games, the dog will wag its tail wildly at you and won't go anywhere else.

Why does she insist on forcing the dog to go outside and rummage through the trash to pick up odds and ends?

"hug me."

"what?"

"Then I'll hug you."

He only hesitated for a second before the fries stuck into Jiang Heyi's blanket.

His body temperature was slightly elevated, and a steady source of warmth emanated from him through his pajamas. French Fries couldn't help but touch his calf with his still slightly icy toes.

Like a large dog suddenly grabbed, he no longer knew where to put his paws.

Occasionally, he can be quite foolish.

"Go to sleep. We're going to visit some neighbors tomorrow morning, and then I'll take you home." She pinched Jiang Heyi's nose. "Don't breathe on me, it's too hot."

"Oh……"

Jiang Heyi silently raised her head.

Although his posture was strange, he fell asleep exceptionally quickly that night.

Listening to the snoring beside her, her eyelids grew heavy.

Curious about where he used to live, that led to this unnecessary night.

Everything is going smoothly.

After a good night's sleep, Jiang Heyi visited the only familiar relative in Chengning with fries, brought a small New Year's gift, and the two boarded a plane at noon without stopping.

French Fries didn't tell his family when he was coming home; instead, he made a surprise return trip.

"It would be unfortunate to have them come to pick us up at the airport."

Jiang Heyi understood everything that the couple had done.

French Fries' home is located in the city center, in a newly developed residential area in recent years, which is a high-end, low-density residential area.

Only now did Jiang Heyi realize that he had never asked French Fries what her family did for a living.

The silly, lovey-dovey couple don't seem to have a job; they appear to have long since entered retirement mode.

Shortly after the doorbell rang, footsteps pattered behind the door.

"You stand back."

"what?"

Like a mother bird protecting her chicks, she shields her children behind her.

Lu Xinxin and Liu Jinhong, this silly couple, were wearing pajamas and obviously hadn't left the house since waking up.

Their eyes lit up like light bulbs when they saw French fries.

Immediately, almost like an aimbot, it locked onto Jiang Heyi's head in a second.

Fries muttered in bewilderment, "Why didn't they bring it over?"

Jiang Heyi felt uneasy under their gaze and quickly handed over the fruit, saying, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

Their voices were several decibels lower.

It's like the water flow that French fries used to treat me with, with a slight gurgling sound.

Liu Jinhong grabbed Jiang Heyi's arm.

Lu Xinxin went around behind and gave her a push.

"Oh dear, Potato, come in quickly, come in quickly, I've already prepared slippers for you."

Liu Jinhong added, "There are also toiletries and bedding, all of which are new."

"They didn't even tell us the date beforehand, and they even launched a surprise attack."

"It must be Xiaofei causing trouble, afraid that we'll come to pick her up at the airport."

"Xiaofei is getting more and more insensible, sigh..."

Jiang Heyi thought to himself, "It seems there's a reason why the fries were kept out of reach."

I don't know what happened that made her so vigilant.

"Tudou is really something, why buy fruit? It's Chinese New Year, do we need a few apples and oranges at home?"

Jiang Heyi explained, "This orange tea was a gift from home; it's made with tangerines and pomelos."

"That's really bad, thank goodness you came." Lu Xinxin immediately changed her tune, "We participated in your live-streaming sales last time, but every time we tried to place an order it showed out of stock, and we couldn't get any..."

Liu Jinhong complained, "Afterwards, Xiaofei didn't send us any more. Sigh."

French Fries crossed his arms and gave them a forced smile.

This expression had no effect whatsoever; the two were still greeting Jiang Heyi.

"Come in, come inside first. You can have tea, a beverage, or just water. We also have iced water. Oh, and we also have pineapple beer. People from your area seem to really like it."

"Oh!"

The door was closed tightly.

The fries were stunned.

She stared at the closed door to her room, gazing at the upside-down "Fu" (福, meaning good fortune) statue, speechless for a long time.

A full half minute later...

"Haha, Xiaofei, why didn't you knock? I thought you had already gone in."

She truly is a mother; she can still laugh even after locking her own daughter out of the room.

Jiang Heyi thought it was unreliable.

French Fries just gave a soft hum and said, "I'm used to it."

You should get used to it. If you've never gotten used to it since you were a child, you'd probably be furious.

The French Fries family mostly uses mahogany furniture, giving the house a rustic and grand feel. However, the interior design leans towards a European style, with black and white floor and wall tiles, and an island in the kitchen.

The interior design and furniture are completely different styles.

French Fries explained: "My mom did the renovation, and my dad did the furniture. They split it up, which didn't look right, but they thought it was fine since they each got half."

She held Jiang Heyi down, making him sit there somewhat nervously watching Lu Xinxin, while Liu Jinhong brought him a fruit platter and drinks.

It was as if to say, "You should get used to it."

Chapter 479 It's all the jailer's fault

Before the couple could even exchange a few words with Jiang Heyi, the French fries, who had been searching for ice cubes in the refrigerator, returned expressionlessly.

Are you sure that order of food is enough for four people?

"Why is it that with the Lunar New Year approaching, our refrigerator is completely emptied, like it's been robbed, and we only have enough for one meal to last night?"

The lovey-dovey couple looked at each other, seemingly only then realizing that their home, which had no shortage of fruit platters and snacks, was lacking in ingredients...

"I'm going out for a walk with French fries..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed back onto the sofa by two hands.

As the door opened and closed again, the house returned to silence.

I used to think that switching attributes to deal with parents was a bit of a game, but Jiang Heyi was too hasty.

"I'm starting to understand you, fries."

French Fries sighed: "It would be nice if someone could empathize with me in the future."

"It's okay, we'll move out."

"Then we have to get married first."

"We're already living together..."

The conversation suddenly veered rapidly in a direction that made both of them feel dizzy.

French Fries coughed and changed the subject: "Since we're already here, aren't you going to check out Shui Liu Mai?"

On the empty shelf above the bookshelf in the French Fries Room, Shui Liu Mai and the headset that Jiang Heyi had given her were lying together.

Its design style looks very vintage, and the earmuff pads are broken, revealing the white fluff underneath.

At first glance, it seemed unremarkable. I turned on the computer and tested the microphone.

"Hello~~~"

"Gululu~~~"

It's like a psionic headset; a single call sends it into the subspace, and an unknown being is responding.

It was as if R'lyeh, which was directly connected to the deep, dark sea, had greeted Kel'Thuzad.

"It really is gurgling, and there's a clear sound of flowing water. I've struck gold!"

They clearly knew the quality of the fries was off, yet they still used them to prank their group members.

Bad, very bad!

"Is it bad?"
