Chapter 282 – Great God, I heard you’re going to travel a thousand li to deliver (16)
Who would have thought that just two minutes after logging into the game, which was barely enough time for Yan Luo to take a sip of water, the system notified him that Fang Shi was online.
fs: [So early today?]
Yan Luo paused slightly at the sudden message on her screen, narrowing her eyes suspiciously. “Little Pink, why do I feel like the male god this time is so impatient?”
Little Pink : [Honestly, I have the same feeling…]
fs : [Is your throat still sore? Are you sick?]
Luo : [Mm, it’s pretty bad. I actually just logged in to leave you a message, that I won’t be playing today.]
—[Pretty bad? How bad exactly?]
—[Have you taken any medicine? Gone to the hospital? Is it just your throat, or do you have other symptoms?]
These words appeared in the chatbox, but fortunately, Fang Shi managed to hold onto a shred of reason. He stared at the unsent message, smacked his forehead in frustration to wake himself up, then swiftly deleted the lines.
Luo : [I’m feeling a bit dizzy. I’m going to sleep now. You should rest early too. I heard you played until almost dawn yesterday.]
—”You played until almost dawn yesterday…”
—”You should rest early too…”
Fang Shi stared at the message, momentarily stunned.
fs : [Is there someone at home to take care of you? Can you leave me a number? I’m a little worried.]
By the time Fang Shi realized what he had sent, the message was already delivered, and his fingers were typing out another line.
—[Which city are you in? If it’s convenient, I can—]
I can what? His hands froze mid-motion, his expression darkened, and he furrowed his brows, quickly deleting the unfinished sentence.
He didn’t dare look at Yan Luo’s reply. Dropping his head in frustration, his finely sculpted features were tinged with regret, lips pressed tightly together.
Who asks for someone’s number and even their location after knowing them for just a few days? What the hell is wrong with me? He was acting like an impatient kid. Would the other person think he was some kind of lunatic?
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Fang Shi suddenly lifted his head, resigned to his fate, and stared at the screen, hoping Yan Luo would give him a chance to fix this.
Luo : [139xxxxxxxxx, this is my number. My WeChat is also linked to it. I’ll be fine after taking some medicine and having a good sleep, so no need to worry. I’m logging off now.]
That was sent two minutes ago. The other person’s avatar had already dimmed.
For a rare moment, Fang Shi sat there blankly, staring at the screen, especially at that string of digits. He read it once. Then again. Stiffly, he picked up his phone, saved the number to his contacts, found Luo’s WeChat account, and sent a friend request. Only then did he blink.
He couldn’t suppress the smile creeping onto his lips.
He didn’t know why he was so happy.
But damn, today was a great day.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, his phone suddenly vibrated, startling him.
—Did Luo accept the request already?
Instinctively, Fang Shi lowered his gaze, then his face darkened slightly.
ut : [Hey, Brother Fang~]
ut was one of Fang Shi’s former teammates from his pro gaming days, a guy from a prestigious family whom he had known for ages.
Not in the mood to entertain ut, Fang Shi glanced at the friend request notification. There was no movement from Luo’s side, as expected. Leaning back in his chair, he lazily tapped on his phone.
fs : [You better have something important to say.]
—Or else…
