Time flew by, and it was soon the next morning. Lin Wan had been tossing and turning in her sleep last night because of the pain in her foot. It wasn't until the sky was starting to dawn that she felt a bit better.
However, before she could sleep for long, the door of the hospital ward was opened from the outside.
A short - haired girl in a white T - shirt and jeans walked into the ward carrying a bag of fruits and a notebook.
Ye Zi put the notebook on the small table and stood beside the hospital bed, observing Lin Wan, who was sound asleep.
Lin Wan vaguely heard someone. She lifted her tired eyelids a little. Before she could react, she saw a dark figure standing in front of her.
She jolted and suddenly opened her eyes wide. She almost fell out of the bed in a backward lean.
"Be careful."
Her arm was grabbed, and Ye Zi's disgruntled voice reached Lin Wan's ears. She was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.
"Ye Zi, you scared me just now. You didn't make a sound. I thought it was—" she murmured and complained. Looking around, she immediately saw the notebook on the table.
She pestered Ye Zi to help her wash up briefly. Then Lin Wan couldn't wait to pick up the notebook and start the game.
After entering the game, Lin Wan didn't even think and just clicked to teleport to the battle appointment location.
The Celestial Descent Platform on Luqiu Mountain was still the same as it was a year ago. Before the battle even started, there was a great fanfare. NPCs chatting with each other and players who came to watch the excitement had surrounded the platform.
Lin Wan felt a bit emotional. The last time she had defeated Shang Shan Ruo Shui here, and today she was going to cut off her relationship with Xiao Xiao Mu Yu with her own hands.
Time passed by second by second.
More and more people gathered around the Celestial Descent Platform, but the real protagonist never showed up. Lin Wan stood bored on the arena, flipping through various messages.
The world chat channel had already exploded.
"Oh my god, God - like player Long Yan is really serious. She's just waiting there!"
"But why hasn't Xiao Xiao come yet?"
"I have a bad feeling. This Celestial Descent Platform is jinxed."
"Yeah, I feel the same way. It seems that last time God - like player Long Yan defeated God - like player Shang Shan here. This time, is it going to be Miss Xiao Xiao's turn?"
"What's this about? Newbie here, seeking an explanation."
...
The chat channel was in an uproar, and the scene was very lively. But as time went on, people gradually became restless.
At exactly nine o'clock.
Lin Wan frowned. What was going on? Was she being stood up?
At this moment, the chat channel became lively again.
"Damn it, why hasn't Miss Xiao Xiao come yet? What does this mean?"
"Maybe Miss Xiao Xiao has something urgent. She doesn't seem like the kind of person who would stand others up."
"What on earth is going on? I always feel like there's a big drama here!"
...
At this moment, Lin Wan was on the verge of anger. She hated it most when someone lied to her. This Xiao Xiao Mu Yu had lied to her for so long, and now she was lying to her again—
Damn it!
Lin Wan's face was extremely ugly. In a fit of anger, she raised her hand to open the relationship panel and dissolved the romantic bond she had formed with Xiao Xiao Mu Yu. Then she closed the game.
Ye Zi had gone out to pay Lin Wan's medical bills. When she came in, she saw Lin Wan looking gloomy at the computer screen. She thought Lin Wan had lost a fight in the game, so she casually comforted her.
Lin Wan slowly raised her head and looked at her with a deep look in her eyes: "Ye Zi, I've been stood up!"
She gritted her teeth when she said this, which made Ye Zi think something serious had happened. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that Lin Wan had just been stood up.
She sighed, walked over, and stroked Lin Wan's head to comfort her: "It's okay. If you've been stood up, just don't associate with her in the future. It's no big deal."
Lin Wan pursed her lips. Obviously, she still had some grudges.

Lu Zhihang sat in the nanny car with a gloomy face. The whole crew seemed a bit on edge.
Wang Wei was almost going crazy.
"My ancestor, can you think about your career? Is the game more important than making money? You're even neglecting your work?" Wang Wei pleaded earnestly.
But Lu Zhihang didn't care at all. With a cold face, he said, "My wife is the most important."
Wang Wei was so choked that he almost cried: "I said, you've been secretly playing your sister's account all day. What are you afraid of? She doesn't even know it's you. I even went to the offline meeting for you yesterday!"
Hearing this, Lu Zhihang's expression softened a bit. He pouted and said, "Give me the computer."
"Hey, what else do you want to do?"
"I just want to take a look. What else could I do?" Lu Zhihang raised his eyebrows, and his expression faintly showed a bit of oppression.
Wang Wei pouted and hesitated for a long time before reluctantly taking out the computer and handing it to Lu Zhihang.
Watching him start the game, Wang Wei said with great disappointment: "You can only play for a while. There's another scene later. Don't be willful again."
Lu Zhihang waved his hand impatiently and frowned, saying, "When have I ever been willful during filming?"
Wang Wei opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but in the end, he didn't say it. He turned around and got out of the nanny car to socialize.

Considering that he had stood Lin Wan up this morning, Lu Zhihang didn't dare to log in with the account of Xiao Xiao Mu Yu. Instead, he switched to one of his other small accounts.
Even after so long, the storm about the battle appointment in the morning hadn't completely died down. The chat channel was still full of discussions about this.
"I said before that these two were just fake friends. Didn't they just go their separate ways and will never see each other again?"
"God - like player Long Yan is so straightforward. Just because the other person didn't show up for the battle appointment, she directly dissolved the romantic bond."
"Such an untrustworthy person like Xiao Xiao really disgusts me. I saw God - like player Long Yan waiting for her for so long. I instantly turned from a fan to a hater of Xiao Xiao."
"I think Xiao Xiao Mu Yu must be scared. After all, it would be so embarrassing to be defeated in public like that."
"Not showing up is no different from losing five divine equipment. This kind of behavior only makes her more hated. It's disgusting."
...
The chat channel was very lively. Lu Zhihang scrolled up for a while before he saw the system message that was posted around nine o'clock in the morning.
[Long Yan Ji Xu forcibly cut off the romantic bond with Xiao Xiao Mu Yu. From now on, their fate is over. They will never see each other again in this vast world.]
Lu Zhihang never expected that just because he missed the battle appointment, he would encounter such a thing. Just because of this one thing, the romantic bond was dissolved. It seemed that this was the little girl's bottom line.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhihang couldn't help the corners of his mouth rising uncontrollably for a long time.
He didn't hesitate to find the ID of Long Yan Ji Xu and directly sent a marriage application.
It was a pity that Lin Wan was not online at all. His application was destined not to get an immediate response.
It wasn't until 1:30 p.m. that Wang Wei opened the back door of the nanny car and urged him to get out quickly to touch up his makeup and prepare for filming.
Lu Zhihang looked at the game screen reluctantly. Just as he was about to turn off the computer, a sudden inspiration came to him. He grabbed Wang Wei's hand and solemnly handed the computer to him: "Brother Wei, my happiness depends on you. Keep an eye on it for me. If someone replies, call me. No matter what the reply is, call me. Got it?"
After saying that, he ignored Wang Wei's confused face and turned around to walk towards the dressing room beside him.
