The Christmas event is for couples to play dungeons together. Couples will get special bonuses, and materials for heat spells will drop.
Ji Siyue usually isn't very enthusiastic about participating in events, thinking they're extremely troublesome. However, among the rare materials that may drop, there's a must - have material for an equipment she's been stuck on for a long time, the [Golden Peacock Feather], which accounts for 50% of all materials.
She was tempted.
But the participation requirements were too harsh. Where could she find a couple?
So, she could only regretfully close the interface again.
Qin Chengyao glanced at Ji Siyue, then watched her reluctantly leave the interface. He understood and smiled, "Want to participate?"
Ji Siyue replied casually.
"Yeah, there are materials I want in there—"
"!"
Did she just say something really inappropriate? The most important thing wasn't the materials, but participating in the event!
The requirement to participate in the event was to have a couple and play the dungeon with them to get the bonus.
But... she didn't have a couple.
Yes, after more than a year of live - streaming, she didn't have a couple.
At this time, the world chat channel had become active.
[World] Little Tomato: Looking for a big shot to take me through the dungeon. There are not only bonuses and rare material drops, but I'll even give you a wife for free.
[World] Charming Handsome Guy: Sister above, take a look at me.
[World] White Rice: Open your eyes, the sister above is looking for a big shot. Your level is still too low, so stay out of the way.
[World] Mengmeng: I... I also want a brother to take me to play games... Sniff!
Most of the conversations in the channel were PKs between rough guys and cute girls. After Ji Siyue watched for a while, she also posted a message.
[World] Jiyueji: Looking for someone who can play to form a temporary couple. We'll split the materials we get. Male or female is okay.
She found that after she sent this message, the world channel seemed to fall silent instantly. Only her "matrimonial message" was still hanging there.
What she didn't notice was that after she sent this message, the person beside her suddenly turned his gaze to her, slightly furrowing his brows. There were obscure emotional fluctuations in his eyes.
"What the hell? Am I that scary?" Ji Siyue muttered.
At this time, finally, there was a bold message.
[World] Fatty: Jiyueji, do you think anyone will want you?
[World] Jiyueji: ???
[World] Fatty: Don't you have your master protecting you? Who would dare to want you? Aren't they afraid of getting beaten so badly that they quit the game?
After seeing this message, Ji Siyue immediately had a confused look on her face—what did this have to do with her master? Was this kid out of his mind?
But speaking of her master... he seemed to have been very silent since just now.
Ji Siyue summoned up her courage and slowly turned her head in Qin Chengyao's direction.
She saw that his face was cold and expressionless. The reflection on his glasses made it hard to see his eyes. He seemed to be typing something on the keyboard.
Ji Siyue originally wanted to say something, but seeing his low mood, she gave up and shifted her gaze back to her computer screen.
However, the previously quiet world chat channel's chat box was now frantically spamming messages.
[World] Xuexue: Aaaaaaaaaah! Mom, I've found a real couple! They're for real~!
[World] Monk Fahao Bubaiqian: Sigh... The whole chat channel is being tortured by love.
[World] Tachunzhishang: So someone like me has even less chance of finding a partner.
[World] Yibigouxiao: Jiyueji is so lucky...
There were many similar messages. Her name appeared especially frequently.
Ji Siyue originally didn't want to watch the excitement, but when she saw her name, she became interested.
Not for any other reason, but because she had been too prominent recently and was bound to have bad luck.
She put the mouse in the chat box and scrolled up hard. After scrolling for a long time, she finally found the key message.
Below the message that said she wasn't wanted, there was a message from someone. After this message, the world channel exploded.
The message was sent by Golden Coin.
[World] Golden Coin: I want her.
Ji Siyue: "!!!!"
Master, what are you doing! Making things worse!
Ji Siyue timidly glanced at Qin Chengyao and saw that he was staring at her, slightly curving his lips. His deep eyes were unpredictable, as if waiting for her reply.
"Mas... Master, did you have a hand tremor? It's okay, I often have hand tremors too—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Chengyao cut her off with a single sentence.
"No."
The answer was firm and insistent.
Ji Siyue: "..."
Qin Chengyao slightly leaned over towards Ji Siyue, staring into her eyes.
"What if I said I'd form a couple with you to play the dungeon?"
"Hehe... You're joking, right? Others will misunderstand."
For some reason, Ji Siyue always felt that after she said this, the smile on Qin Chengyao's face seemed to fade a little.
"Are you afraid of being misunderstood?"
"Aren't I afraid that you'll suffer, Master?" Ji Siyue blurted out.
Qin Chengyao: "..."
At this time, the bullet comments in the live - streaming room were about to explode with laughter.
An Wen in the school dormitory had been staring at the live - stream. After hearing their conversation, she covered her mouth and let out a scream like a marmot.
"Aaaah!—"
Tian Cheng came over and patted her on the head. "You little flower - crazy girl. Did Siyue massacre the opponents again?"
"No no! It's Siyue and her master! It's so sweet!"
"Ah? Master? When did she recognize a master?"
Tian Cheng didn't play games and didn't pay much attention to Ji Siyue's gaming side.
"Come and look at the bullet comments!"
An Wen pulled Tian Cheng's arm and made her look at her computer screen.
Tian Cheng barely got used to the constantly spamming bullet comments and caught a few of them.
"KSWL! They must have something going on!"
"Black - bellied master x proud girl. I'm in!"
"Am I the only one who doesn't like them being paired up as a CP? I'm so annoyed!"
"Those above can leave. No one is forcing you to like it."
"That's right. This is Yuebing's live - streaming room. Can you not say unpleasant things?"
Tian Cheng was dumbfounded.
"What's all this? I don't understand. Are they arguing?"
"To put it simply... Ah! Siyue recognized a master during the live - stream. Now the two of them are a bit ambiguous. Some people think it's really sweet, while others think it's a publicity stunt. Just enjoy it yourself and don't care!"
"Let me listen!"
Saying that, Tian Cheng took one of An Wen's earphones.
She only heard a male and a female voice in the earphone.
"Why do you think I'll suffer?"
"Because... because I..."
Tian Cheng didn't listen to the rest of the words.
She took off the earphone and looked skeptical. "Why does this male voice sound a bit familiar?"
