344: April Fool's Day joke
"How did you know?" Lin Yue blurted out, his face filled with shock!
It wasn't until Lin Yue saw Fang Banxia's 'I knew it' expression that he realized:
"No, I don't have pica! I really don't!"
"I understand, I understand everything!" Fang Banxia nodded in agreement.
"No, I really don't!" Lin Yue said anxiously.
"I really do understand, no one understands you better than I do." Fang Banxia said.
"What do you understand? Not even the King of Understanding understands as much as you do!" Lin Yue said anxiously, "No, where did you hear such a rumor?"
Fang Banxia silently opened her phone, and a familiar interface, the forum's hot topics list, appeared in Lin Yue's eyes.
[Shocking! Eating poop can even grant talent!]
[The biggest loophole in "ascension" is actually this!]
Lin Yue's eyelids twitched wildly until Ban Xia clicked on them one by one. Sure enough, two screenshots appeared before his eyes.
[Rainy Night with Knife, No Umbrella: The seventh point is true, I can prove it! Because I was extremely hungry once...]
[Rainy Night with Knife, No Umbrella: Everyone, please listen to me, this game is indeed not 100% realistic...]
Lin Yue stood rooted to the spot as if turned to stone.
Just as he was about to speak, a slender, fair hand stopped in front of his mouth:
"This avatar is a picture I took of your back when we went to the capital after graduating from high school."
He was about to argue, but the slender, fair hand once again covered his mouth.
"This username is the same as your social media username and the username you used in every game you played in high school and college. Although I don't understand what this username means, you've been using it since your third year of junior high and have never changed it.
Combined with the IP address in the bottom right corner,
So, don't you dare tell me this isn't you!" Fang Banxia regained her composure, speaking word by word.
Lin Yue's mouth hung open, not understanding why Ban Xia, who was usually so scatterbrained, had suddenly turned into Sherlock Holmes!
He couldn't even find words to refute her!
"Alright, that's me, but I'm really not a pica sufferer!" Lin Yue was on the verge of tears at this moment.
He had only intended to be a little mischievous, but he didn't expect his alternate account to be exposed!
This was too embarrassing!
Fang Banxia was somewhat doubtful. She didn't really believe Lin Yue would have pica. They had grown up together since childhood, and there was no reason she wouldn't have noticed it once. But what he said on the forum sounded so real, not like something someone who hadn't experienced it would say.
Finally, with a suspicious expression, she asked, "Is it because of April Fool's Day?"
"It's precisely because of April Fool's Day!" Lin Yue quickly nodded, finally clearing his name, wishing he could hug and kiss her at that moment!
"Really?" Fang Banxia was still somewhat doubtful.
"Really!" Lin Yue then righteously raised three fingers on his right hand and said, "I swear to heaven..."
Fang Banxia carefully checked that it was indeed three fingers and not four, and her expression relaxed, finally putting her mind at ease.
"You scared me to death!" Fang Banxia hit his chest hard, then said with a slight tremor in her voice, "I thought you were like this because you've been under too much stress lately!"
"No, no." Lin Yue chuckled, then feeling the atmosphere was a bit strange, he said, "How did you end up looking at game forums?"
Seeing this, Fang Banxia ran to the bed and sat down again: "The matter of holding a concert in the game that we discussed last time has already begun preparations. The company wants us to familiarize ourselves with the game after a while, so we went to the forum to look for guides.
I didn't expect to find you!" Fang Banxia said, pouting.
"Oh, so that proves it was a misunderstanding, and I don't need to go to the hospital, right?" Lin Yue suddenly asked.
"That's right."
"Then when are you leaving?" Lin Yue asked, changing the subject.
"You don't welcome me?" Fang Banxia's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her voice suddenly rose.
"No, you just mentioned the game, and I suddenly remembered that the game starts at 3:40." Lin Yue said.
Fang Banxia looked at her watch and exclaimed, "Oh, it's already so late. I need to go to sleep quickly, I have activities tomorrow!"
With that, she ignored everything and directly pulled the covers over her head, making humming sounds.
"Not taking off your makeup? Or maybe wash up first?" Lin Yue asked.
At this moment, a head suddenly emerged from under the covers, looking pained:
"Ah! God, just kill me!"
Lin Yue couldn't help but smile, and then Fang Banxia kicked off the covers, jumped out of bed, and said, "I'll shower first, you're not allowed to peek!"
Then, she walked straight towards Lin Yue's wardrobe without a care.
Lin Yue felt a bit helpless. He took this time to delete the two comments he had posted on the forum. He hadn't expected his subsequent two jokes to climb to the top three of the forum's hot topics list, and he didn't want players to scold him.
After successfully deleting them, Lin Yue changed a new duvet cover for her, tidied up the room, and heated a cup of milk. Soon after, he heard the enticing sound of running water from the bathroom... Then Lin Yue directly lay down in the game pod.
The game pod's shield slowly closed. Lin Yue looked at the ten-second countdown in front of him and directly entered the game!
""ascension" starting!"
...Ten minutes later, Fang Banxia slowly walked out, wiping her wet hair.
"Xiao Yueyue, can you heat me a cup of milk?
Did you hear me? Where is he?"
Fang Banxia scanned around and finally found Lin Yue in the game pod.
Her expression kept changing. She sat on the bed, looking at Lin Yue, unable to understand how the Charm of this game could really be that great?
Finally, she threw the doll on the bed towards the game pod and cursed, "Stinky man! Stinky straight man!"
She turned her back to the game pod, but accidentally discovered the hot milk on the corner of the table, which made her mood slightly better.
She took a delightful sip, then took out her phone, checked her bank balance, and made a call:
"Hello, Sister Wang, this is Ban Xia."
"Oh, my little ancestor, how could I not know it's you?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Sorry to bother you so late, but I need to ask you for a favor, it's a bit urgent."
"What is it? Could it be that you've been secretly photographed by paparazzi?" Sister Wang exclaimed, then anxiously said, "My little ancestor, you're in the rising period of your career now, you can't fall in love! You can't be love-struck either, you have to know that few of those celebrities are good people!
Oh, I'll help you find out which paparazzi took the pictures now. Don't worry, you cut ties immediately. I won't talk to you anymore for now!"
"Wait, Sister Wang, it's not that. You're my agent, I can't hide it from you even if I'm in love."
"That's true." Sister Wang breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment she suddenly exclaimed:
"Little ancestor, you didn't steal gold coins, did you?
We absolutely cannot do that!
This is a duty every citizen should fulfill!
Tell me the truth, how much did you steal? I'll quickly make up for it tomorrow!"
"No, you're in charge of all my accounts, aren't you clear about that? Besides, I never do anything illegal." Fang Banxia said, rubbing her forehead and laughing at the words.
"That's also true." Sister Wang breathed another sigh of relief, her mood fluctuating wildly, and she couldn't help but ask, "Then what is it?"
"I want to buy a house, preferably with the transfer of ownership tomorrow. It doesn't matter if it's a bit expensive. The address is..."
