Zheng Xiaoguang gawked at the message from Yang Sisi on her computer screen. “Don’t you understand that you have to be realistic about love and marriage now? You’re 26 years old, Xiaoguang. If you meet another guy like Su Han and waste a few more years, you’ll soon turn 30. What kind of husband will you find? Do you want to date some divorced guy at that time?”

Upon seeing that, Zheng Xiaoguang could not help but sigh inwardly. “Yes, a girl’s youth is too short. After reaching the age of 21, we girls will be considered some stocks with ever-falling prices. Once we turn 25 and still remain single, we’ll be teased for being ‘unsalable’ and losing the chance of finding true love. We’ll be urged to get married and make do with what we have. As such, everyone presses me to find someone suitable for me and get married as soon as possible, in case that I’ll become ‘unsalable’ in the future.

“I used to be very “anxious”, and obediently went on all the blind dates arranged by my relatives. Back then, I just wanted to reassure my parents that I would find a husband someday. For me, going on such a blind date was like completing the main story of a game. I had to do this since I had no choice. I was worried about my age and thought if I didn’t get married as soon as possible, I would become an old spinster.

“However, since meeting Bluegreen-Clad, I’ve been felt that I can get married for love. If I give up on this relationship with him now, I’ll definitely regret it for the rest of my life.”

With this in mind, she continued to argue with Yang Sisi, although she knew that it was hard to convince her friend.

No matter what she said, Yang Sisi did not approve of her idea. “I think that Xiangyang is a good guy and very suitable for you. Didn’t you tell me that he’s polite and nice after your first blind date?” said Yang Sisi.

Zheng Xiaoguang thought back to her first blind date with Tong Xiangyang. “He’s the kind of guy who treats you politely but always keeps you at a distance. I’ve met quite a lot of guys like him during my previous blind dates.

“When we went on a picnic together with Yang Sisi and her husband, Yang Sisi tried so hard to bring us together, but he still kept me at a distance. There’s no chemistry between us at all. Even without Bluegreen-Clad, I won’t have a chance with him.”

She sighed helplessly and replied, “But as you can see, he and I can only be friends.”

“I’ll find another chance to bring you two together.” Yang Sisi did not feel discouraged at all. “As long as you two spend more time together, you’ll like each other. You’re just not familiar with each other now, and Xiangyang is a quiet guy. That’s not a big problem. Once you become familiar with each other, you’ll naturally have more things to share and talk about.”

Zheng Xiaoguang did not argue with Yang Sisi again. This was not because she was rendered speechless but because Yang Sisi had to log off and have dinner with Zhang Jing.

Zheng Xiaoguang hurriedly switched back to the gang channel and found out that the gang melee was over. The Matchless and the League of Strong Families had defeated the Sacred Temple, and everybody in her gang was happy. As it was quite late now, the gang members logged off one after another to have some rest.

Only Bluegreen-Clad was still waiting for her.

At this moment, the god-like Bluegreen-Clad was standing in front of the lovely little doctor, and their child Bluegreen Feather was standing beside them. They looked really like a happy family.

Bluegreen-Clad: Honey, it’s getting late. Are you going to sleep now?

Flowing Light: Yes, I have to work tomorrow. I can’t stay up late.

Bluegreen-Clad: I see. Good night.

Upon seeing that, Zheng Xiaoguang suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

Flowing Light: I like you, Bluegreen-Clad. I like you very much.

He did not reply immediately, which made her feel somewhat sad. Suddenly, he called her.

She hurriedly received the call, “Hello.”

She heard Bluegreen-Clad speak beside her ear, “I love you, Xiaoguang.”

She could not help but flush bashfully even though they were not talking face to face. She looked at the dark night outside, her heart full of hope. She never believed in promises or forever. She just believed in Bluegreen-Clad. She was willing to take the risk for him.

The next day, Zheng Xiaoguang went to work as usual. When she buried herself in her work, Yang Sisi teased her, “Wow, what a hard-working girl. You look very motivated today, Xiaoguang.”

Zheng Xiaoguang stuck out her tongue and replied, “Haha, I took a leave for two days, and the weekend is coming soon. I have to hurry up to finish the work.”

“Come on. What else will you do on the weekend if you finish your work quickly? You’re going to play the game at home again!” Yang Sisi poked Zheng Xiaoguang’s forehead with a finger. “Don’t go home to play the game tonight. Now that your parents are not at home, you can come to my home to have dinner.”

Zheng Xiaoguang thought that Yang Sisi was really nice, but as she had promised to gain levels together with Bluegreen-Clad tonight, she refused Yang Sisi. “Oh, no, no, no. I have something important to do tonight. And I really don’t want to disturb you and your husband.”

“Save the crap! Just do what I say!” Yang Sisi glared at her. “What else will you do except playing games? Give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, I won’t let you off.”

Given what Yang Sisi had said to her yesterday, Zheng Xiaoguang felt that she could not tell everything to her at this moment. She swallowed hard but still managed to insist. “My dear Sisi, I really have something important to do tonight.”

Yang Sisi refused to believe her and kept glaring at her. She tried her best to remain unswerving.

When she and Yang Sisi knocked off and walked out of their company together, Zhang Jing was waiting for them at the gate of the company. Tong Xiangyang, who was sitting inside the car together with Zhang Jing took the initiative to greet Zheng Xiaoguang. “Hi, are you going with us?”

Zheng Xiaoguang had never expected to meet Tong Xiangyang here. After some thought, she realized that this was another blind date arranged by Yang Sisi. She blurted out. “No, I’m not going with you. You go first.”

Tong Xiangyang did not get off the car as he continued to urge her. “Let’s go together. If you don’t go, I’ll be a third wheel.”

Zheng Xiaoguang shook her head like a rattle drum. “I really have something to do tonight. You go first. I’ll give you a treat someday.”

“Are you going to hang out with your friends tonight? We can hang out together. We’ll have more fun,” Zhang Jing said with a smile.

“Huh? Do you really want to hang out together with my friends? Are we going to sit together and play the game? Hehe,” Zheng Xiaoguang mocked in her heart. She shook her head like a rattle drum again and said, “No. You go first.”

As she insisted on not going together with them, Zhang Jing, Yang Sisi and Tong Xiangyang drove away. After that, she took a bus home.

At around 7: 30 pm, she logged onto the game after dinner. The moment she got online, she received a team invitation from Bluegreen-Clad.

She clicked yes and sent her character to the map where the team was located. Just as she had expected, she was the last one to join the team.

Flowing Light: Sorry, I’m late.

Li Lei: That’s alright. We’ve just gotten online. Now that everyone is here, I’m going to start the instance.

Flowing Light: Mm-hmm

Right after sending out this message, she heard her cellphone ring.
