Chapter 342: Childhood Friends Must Be Cultivated from a Young Age (25)
However, these girls quickly realized that exams were coming up.
In other words, after the exams, everyone would go their separate ways…
So, the guy they admired would end up with another girl eventually.
Thinking about it made them very sad; all their worries over the semester seemed futile.
Of course, a small number of unwilling girls secretly tried to find out which high school he was going to. After finding out, they returned dejectedly.
They thought, “Forget it; it’s impossible to get into that school anyway.”
When the admission notices arrived, Shen Mubai was already deeply immersed in video games again.
Every day, she stayed up late playing games with the system, looking a bit unhealthy with a pale face and dark circles under her eyes.
She resisted getting up for morning runs, preferring to stay in bed as if she wanted to become part of it.
Xiao Xueqing naturally noticed something, but every time Shen Mubai brushed it off with excuses about studying,.
The system said, “Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”
Shen Mubai replied, “It’s not like you urging me to sleep early either.”
The system fell silent.
Shen Mubai chuckled, “System, can you help me rank up to Silver?”
The system replied coldly, “No.”
Shen Mubai pouted and tried every trick in the book, short of throwing a full-blown tantrum.
The system eventually gave in.
But although she reached the silver rank, she could no longer play the game.
Here’s what happened: One day, while they were eating together, Xiao Xueqing was chatting with An Ziyu, and somehow the conversation turned to Shen Mubai.
The young male lead accidentally mentioned her gaming habits.
At that moment, Shen Mubai, who was eating fish, nearly choked on a fishbone. An Ziyu handed her some hot water and patted her back while smiling gently, “Luo Luo, eat slowly.”
Shen Mubai glared at him and whispered, “An Ziyu, was that on purpose?”
An Ziyu was taken aback and looked at her quietly, “Do you think I did it on purpose?”
Seeing his expression, Shen Mubai’s heart softened, and she felt guilty, “No, I know you didn’t mean it.”
An Ziyu curved his eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on his delicate face.
“But it’s better to play fewer games.”
He turned to Xiao Xueqing and said warmly, “Aunt Xiao, don’t you think so?”
Although Xiao Xueqing was gentle by nature, she got angry when she found out her daughter wasn’t studying but playing games. She made Shen Mubai hand over her phone and game console immediately, promising they wouldn’t be returned for the entire summer vacation.
Shen Mubai, “…..” Ah, life is hopeless.
So, for the entire summer, Shen Mubai didn’t stay in bed even once.
She felt the summer was excruciatingly long and started looking forward to school starting again.
With nothing to do, Shen Mubai spent her days lying on the sofa, binge-watching dramas, snacking on various treats, and occasionally bursting into laughter.
But her laughter soon faded.
During a morning run, she suddenly noticed the young male lead had grown a lot taller.
A nerve was struck, and after returning home, she measured his height. He was exactly 1.8 meters tall.
Meanwhile, she hadn’t grown a bit since reaching 1.6 meters.
Shen Mubai felt like crying.
An Ziyu looked down at her, his smile gentle and lovely, “Luo Luo, you are just perfect the way you are.”
