118: Playing games
After entering the room, to ease Lin Zhuimiao's tension, Xu Zimo suggested playing a few games.
"Play games?"
"Okay, okay!"
Lin Zhuimiao was indeed less nervous.
This wasn't the first time she had played games with Xu Zimo, but it was their first time playing a duo queue.
Perhaps in the future, she would even play ranked with her good sisters.
At Binjiang Bay.
But it had always been a five-player queue.
No choice.
The King's matching mechanism only allowed duo, trio, or five-player queues.
Originally, Lin Zhuimiao was a female jungler, preferring heroes like Yunying and Chang'e.
However, because it was a duo queue and Xu Zimo didn't play top lane, instead picking Hou Yi, she cooperated by choosing a support.
She started by playing Xiao Ming.
At level one, she learned her second skill and stayed with Xu Zimo.
With Xiao Ming linked, Xu Zimo's output was naturally explosive, but Lin Zhuimiao was playing Xiao Ming for the first time, leading to frequent mistakes.
Xu Zimo even had to teach her.
They struggled to push the first and second towers, only reaching the high ground after twenty minutes.
It took a full 36 minutes for the crystal to explode.
Victory!
Although the game was won, Lin Zhuimiao was exhausted.
She had woken up at nine in the morning, and it was now eleven at night. Plus, she had gone through so much today, so being tired was normal.
After taking a shower.
The two lay on the bed, and Xu Zimo gently held her, saying, "I have to rush back to Xingcheng tomorrow morning."
He couldn't help it; his family was hosting a banquet tomorrow, and he had to be there.
Lin Zhuimiao immediately looked at him nervously.
"It's an important matter."
Xu Zimo comforted her and asked, "Do you want to come back to Xingcheng with me?"
"I..."
Lin Zhuimiao naturally wanted to, but her grandfather was still hospitalized.
"It's fine, you can take a few days off, and there's no need to rush back to school."
Xu Zimo thought for a moment and continued, "Coincidentally, you can choose a better house in Lotus City, so your uncle and aunt will have a place to stay in the city and won't have to commute back and forth every day."
"Also, tell your uncle and aunt not to go out. Your grandparents are old and need someone to take care of them. Once your grandfather recovers, they can just run a small business in Lotus City..."
"Brother..."
Lin Zhuimiao wanted to say something else, but Xu Zimo interrupted her, "It's settled."
"Tomorrow, I'll have my assistant come and help you."
Lin Zhuimiao was still only in her second year of university. Buying a house and possibly choosing a shop, if she had to handle these things, she might fall into traps.
He could only trouble his assistant to make the trip.
"Thank you, Brother."
Lin Zhuimiao didn't know what to say, so she just hugged Xu Zimo tightly, leaning against his chest, feeling an inexplicable sense of security.
[Affection from Lin Zhuimiao +10]
Xu Zimo truly hadn't expected her affection to increase so quickly. It seemed his approach was correct now.
Attribute points were something money couldn't buy.
After sending a message to Lu Jiaqi, he embraced Lin Zhuimiao and slowly fell asleep.
Morning.
It wasn't even eight o'clock when Xu Zimo woke up, and Lu Jiaqi had already arrived in Lotus City.
His assistant was truly dedicated.
After getting up, Xu Zimo first called his exclusive client manager at the bank.
The bank wasn't open at that hour, but the exclusive client manager was on call 24 hours a day.
Not long after, Lin Zhuimiao's phone received a text message.
Ten million exactly!
When she saw the number in the text message, she was completely stunned, even checking it twice.
Then she exclaimed in surprise, "Brother, you... why did you transfer so much to me?"
Her voice trembled, showing how shocked she was.
Ten million, if deposited as a fixed deposit, with an annual interest rate of about 2.15% - 2.75%, the daily interest alone would be over five hundred.
This was more than double the combined income of her parents' jobs.
"Buy a bigger villa, and then buy a well-located shop. You take this money for now, and if it's not enough, tell me."
Xu Zimo's words once again moved Lin Zhuimiao to tears.
He wasn't afraid to raise his woman's threshold.
If she hadn't fallen for him, her affection couldn't have increased.
This was also the advantage of being able to see the other person's affection for him.
"Brother..."
Lin Zhuimiao once again threw herself into Xu Zimo's arms, hugging him tightly and refusing to let go for a long time.
Looking at the charming and lovely girl in his arms, Xu Zimo disregarded the matter of rushing back to Xingcheng and took the time to play another game with her.
This time... Lin Zhuimiao played as Yao... By the time Xu Zimo and Lin Zhuimiao came down, it was already eight-forty.
Her parents had gone to the hospital at six in the morning, so they didn't meet.
Xu Zimo roughly explained the situation to Lu Jiaqi, and the assistant took out her phone to start contacting people.
She wasn't familiar with Lotus City, but fortunately, she had a wide network and quickly found someone.
"The rest is up to you."
Xu Zimo trusted her completely.
Just now, his mother had called him several times, urging him.
Under Lin Zhuimiao's reluctant gaze, the bentley Flying Spur gradually drove away.
Lu Jiaqi had driven her car over, so it was quite convenient. The two got in the car and went to look at houses.
On the way.
Xu Zimo called Tang Xinyi and told her to get ready.
Upon learning that she was going to meet her in-laws, Tang Xinyi was both happy and nervous, rushing back to her room to change clothes.
Living room.
Tang Xinyao and her classmates were all there.
Because they had played too wildly at the cinema last night, it was already two in the morning when they left.
Of course, they couldn't go back to the school dormitory.
However, because they had only slept for about six hours, they were all yawning repeatedly.
During breakfast, Lu Yufei didn't see Tang Xinyao's brother-in-law and was greatly disappointed.
Unable to make contact.
What should she do?
Lu Yufei fell into distress.
Although they were good classmates, they couldn't come to someone's house to freeload every week, right?
What they ate and drank yesterday... even if they held back and didn't touch the brandy or wine, it probably still cost six figures!
Even if she suggested it again, the other classmates would be too embarrassed.
At the same time, also because they had seen what a truly rich person's life was like here, they couldn't go back to the days when they could be satisfied with just a lipstick or a bag.
Because subconsciously, they would compare their lives to this kind of life.
It's like in the financial industry, why are there the most older single women? Because they have met wealthy tycoons and frequented high-end venues, which leads to them, despite their not-so-high monthly salaries, looking down even on petit bourgeois families.
So-called older single women are actually just people who don't have a clear understanding of themselves.
Lu Yufei sighed.
She took out her phone, opened her Moments, saw hundreds of likes, and dozens of comments, which slightly improved her mood.
At the same time, it solidified her inner thoughts.
She had to try!
Otherwise, she would truly be unwilling.
So, she began to consider what excuse she could find to get in touch with Tang Xinyao's brother-in-law.
