Ji Zhiyao brought the mineral water bottle with him and sat in the middle of the sofa in the living room. He leaned back into the soft sofa back and instantly felt a velvety sensation of unrealness.

While his mind recalled the conversation he shared with Mo Huaifeng earlier that did not have a tinge of unfamiliarity, he could not help but lift his lips.

Rumors could not be trusted. Well, at least some parts of them could not be trusted.

For example, there were rumors that said Fi-G.o.d was aloof, difficult to get along with, and bad-tempered. Now, it seemed that they were absolutely groundless statements.

Out of his principle to be polite, Ji Zhiyao did not get up and move around the first level of the base. Instead, he sat on the sofa and played with his phone.

Ten minutes later, Mo Huaifeng came downstairs.

His hair was not dried, still dripping with water as he walked. Wearing a short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt with a pair of oversized shorts, he looked no different from a common internet-addicted youth.

“Why didn’t you look around?”

Ji Zhiyao put down his phone. “The owner isn’t around, so it seems a little impolite to move around freely. By the way, Fi-G.o.d, where is the rest? You’re the only one here at the base?”

Mo Huaifeng’s expression was neutral. “Yesterday, the whole team played rank matches through the night, so they won’t wake up before afternoon.” With that, he pulled out his phone from his pocket. “What takeaway do you want? Luxurious set meal, I’ll treat you to have enough of it.”

“…”

Mo Huaifeng opened the takeaway app and after going through it from top to bottom, realized that the fastest place would also take around 40 minutes to deliver. Hence, he looked up, and even his dark circles were full of seriousness. “Will you be starved to death if you don’t eat for 40 minutes?”

The corner of Ji Zhiyao’s lip twitched. “Can we omit the segment of getting takeaway?”

“Sure, there are instant noodles in the kitchen. I can even add eggs and sausages for you.”

Ji Zhiyao felt that this person seemed to have an obsession with treating him to a luxurious set meal…

Ji Zhiyao said, “… I’m really not hungry. I had two crepes for breakfast.”

Mo Huaifeng replied nonchalantly. “But I’m hungry.”

Mo Huaifeng continued to order a takeaway and then put his phone aside. His chocolate brown eyes fixed on Ji Zhiyao, and both of them stared at each other.

Ji Zhiyao stared quietly. “…”

Mo Huaifeng stared back. “…”

“…”

“…”

The one who liked to be dissolute could not bring himself to, and the one who was good with spouting obscenities had his mouth shut tighter than a clam. The whole house was filled with awkwardness.

Ji Zhiyao stared until his eyes hurt. Looking away, he hurriedly blinked and asked, “Fi-G.o.d, wh..what did you want me to come to play?”

“Actually, I intended to game with you. It would be more interesting if all of us sat together. Yet, they’re not even waking up at this time, so even if we want to play, it can only be two of us.”

Mo Huaifeng’s tone sounded a little regretful.

Ji Zhiyao said, “… Oh.”

So making him take a 20-minute bus ride to make this trip was simply to eat takeaway and game? Although it did sound extremely attractive to sit face-to-face with Mix and play as a team of five, it was not as if he had not done that while separated by a screen. Even if it would feel different, how different could it get!

Mo Huaifeng thought for a moment. “If we really have no choice, let’s play Chinese checkers?”

Ji Zhiyao looked up abruptly with a pair of dark eyes filled with horror, but when he saw clearly that Mo Huaifeng’s pupils were full of the itch to try, his emotion of horror instantly became numbness. “Okay.”

…

Thirty plus minutes later, Yuan Wei entered carrying two bags of takeaway from outside. “Whose order of takeaway was just seen by me? I haven’t eaten, and whoever sees it gets a share, so share half with me?”

He turned the corner into the hall while his arms, which were lifting the two bags of takeaway up high, froze mid-air as he silently looked at the two young men lying on their front on the smooth floor.

A large Ludo map was placed before them, and at the side, there was also the box of plastic Chinese checkers and the packaging box for Ludo.

Right then, they lifted their heads to look at him at the same time. Even their angle was extremely similar.

… particularly similar to the mentally-disabled children that were frequently reported on the news.

Yuan Wei suddenly felt a little breathless.
