Chapter 40: A Problem

Ji Siyue instinctively stood up, trying to get a better view to search for that person. But for some reason, she just couldn't see where that person was.

It seemed that he had really left.

All of a sudden, a feeling of loss mixed with other emotions welled up in her heart. It felt as if there was a ball of cotton clogging her heart, making her feel extremely heavy and uncomfortable.

For the rest of the time, she even lost the mood to study. Her mind was constantly occupied by thoughts of that person.

She was someone who valued efficiency. When she realized her state, she very decisively gave up studying, packed her things, and left the library.

During the live - broadcast in the afternoon, she was late for more than ten minutes because of this matter. For a while, people in the live - broadcast room were saying that she was getting arrogant. Ji Siyue sincerely apologized to the audience and repeatedly promised to make up for the lost time before starting the live - broadcast.

Surprisingly, several people from the Fortune and Treasure Breakfast Shop were in the live - broadcast room today, and they were using their main accounts.

As soon as she logged into the game, she was pulled into a dungeon. Qin Chengyao had ignored her today, but now he invited her to play the dungeon. To be honest, Ji Siyue was flattered, so she quickly clicked to accept and joined the team.

The dungeons they were playing were all very difficult. Ji Siyue performed just averagely, and all the highlights were taken by the other four people.

She then noticed that the other four people seemed to be going all out in the dungeon. The efficiency was extremely high. For a difficult dungeon like this, even a professional team would need some time. But with her in the team, they were only a little slower than the professional team.

What was even more strange was that during the whole process of playing several dungeons for more than an hour, no one said a word. She once spoke in the team chat channel, but received only a few responses. Later, she simply stopped talking.

It was almost time for her appointment with Ling Yun, but she didn't know how to tell the others that she was leaving.

Just then, the dungeon was cleared. The four people logged off together, as if they had made an agreement. They left behind a pile of uncollected equipment and materials, and Ji Siyue all alone.

Ji Siyue stood there for a moment, then silently picked up the equipment and materials, cleaned up the battlefield, and put all the materials obtained in the dungeon into the team's material storage. Then she accepted Ling Yun's invitation to continue playing PvP and dungeons.

However, her performance was all seen by the audience.

"What's going on? I always feel that there's something strange between Master and Siyue."

"Why do I feel that Master is jealous?"

"Come on, wake up. This is the famous Hornet!"

"Stop fighting, stop fighting! Hurry up and stop! (Funny)"

"I feel that Master is jealous. He brought a few of his good buddies to play a few dungeons without saying a word and then left. After all, it's almost time for the daily appointment with Ling Yun."

"The person above has confirmed it."

Ji Siyue didn't see these bullet - screen comments because she was playing PvP with Ling Yun.

In the arena, PvP wouldn't cause a loss of level or equipment. When she was playing PvP with Ling Yun, she didn't hold back at all. She used all her strength, but even so, her skills were still no match for Ling Yun's. She was completely defeated by Ling Yun.

After a round of PvP, she seemed deflated and simply pushed the keyboard away.

"I'm going to the toilet."

After saying that, she grabbed her phone and ran into the toilet of her apartment. After closing the door, she immediately dialed the phone number she had been thinking about for a long time.

The phone was quickly answered.

"Senior."

"Aren't you going to the toilet? Why are you calling me?" As soon as these words came out, Ji Siyue knew that he must be watching her live - broadcast and must have seen how badly she was defeated.

"Senior, what's wrong with you these two days? You've been ignoring me. I feel that you're angry, but I don't know what you're angry about."

"Do you really not know?" Qin Chengyao questioned, "Ji Siyue, I always thought you weren't this slow - witted."

"Ah?" Ji Siyue was so anxious that she was almost crying. She really was slow - witted.

"Just tell me. I've been thinking about this for the past two days. My head is about to explode, but I still can't figure it out."

"I'm jealous."

After these words were said, Ji Siyue suddenly fell silent. She stood there, holding the phone stupidly. Even though she knew there was a phone between them, she didn't know what kind of expression to put on to face Qin Chengyao.

He was jealous?

Why was he jealous? She wasn't even his girlfriend.

Could it be...

A red "bomb" seemed to explode on her face, making her feel that her face was burning.

"Se - Senior..."

"Okay, you know now. Think about how to cheer me up. People in your live - broadcast room are urging you. Go and check it out quickly. You still need to do a good job in the live - broadcast. I won't interfere in your live - broadcast matters anymore."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, and then there was a series of busy tones.

Ji Siyue really wanted to call back, but after thinking about it, her rationality prevailed. She silently went back and sat in front of the computer desk. This time, her mood was a little excited as well as nervous.

"Sorry, I'm back."

Ling Yun asked over there, "Why do you seem to be in a bad mood today?"

"Because this morning when I was doing math problems, I couldn't solve one no matter how hard I thought. But just now when I was in the toilet, I suddenly had an epiphany and knew how to solve it, so I'm very happy."

Anyone could tell that this was an excuse, but Ling Yun seemed to really believe it.

He had his video on, so the gentle smile on his face was seen by all the audience. The bullet - screen was constantly filled with comments asking if he was really in a relationship.

He glanced at the bullet - screen and widened his smile.

"I majored in mathematics in college. If you have any problems you can't solve, I can teach you."

"Really?"

Ji Siyue opened her eyes wide and clicked into Ling Yun's live - broadcast room. After looking at him in the video, she let out a heartfelt exclamation.

"You're a math major, but you don't even have a bald head!"

Ling Yun also laughed, "Do you want me to send you the link to this wig?"
