Chapter 3

Weiwei rushed back to her dorm from the basketball game. The computer department had won and the poor guy from the biology department had left the gym with his tail between his legs. She already had the key for her dorm in her hand before she even got to the building, she lived in. She rushed into the room and fired up her computer, logged into the game where Naihe was waiting for her. Still out of breath from her sprint to the dorm "I'm sorry I'm late", Weiwei apologised.

Nai sat at his desk in his apartment off of campus with his hot water in a flask and replied "It's fine, I just got here too" he reassured her.

"Why is there a crowd", Weiwei asked Nai shocked to see around fifty players waiting for her. "Lu Ren Jian and Ju Shi Yu are leaders of major clans", when she saw the names, she began to fangirl a bit. "What are they doing here?"

"You can ask them", Nai told her. She walked past Nai and his friends and walked up to the group of people that were her idols in the game.

"Congratulations", all of the clans said in unison. "Mr Naihe once did me a great favour" Ju Shi Yu told her. "Now that he's found his bride, how can I miss out on the fun?" he teased. "Anyone in my clan who is free today is here. They will follow the carriage on their horses. It will surely be a spectacular scene.

"That's right", Lu Ren Jian interjected "My clan is here to. Let's have fun together."

"We are all waiting for Mr Naihe's red envelopes" Ju Shi Yu told Weiwei.

A red envelope for each of them, Weiwei's inner monologue told her again. Will he go bankrupt? She turned to face Naihe who met her with a smile. A message appeared in Weiwei's screen, a gift from Naihe of equipment. "What's this", she asked?

"A betrothal gift", he responded

She did not like it when people tried to gift things to her. She could earn things by herself, it offended her slightly when people presumed, she was doing things for free items. "I don't want it", she told him.

"It's for battling", he told her to which she accepted the gift he gave to her. Weiwei has then looked into her inventory in the game and pulled out a rare ring. A message popped up in Nai's screen now telling him that Weiwei was gifting him something. He smiled brightly before accepting it.

"This is my dowry", Weiwei told him "It's not much. I'll make it up to you later". He was already different than Zhenshui, she was beginning to get attached to Naihe and that was dangerous in the gaming world as gamers changed games all the time. She didn't want to end up hurt because he decided he wanted to change the game he was playing and not speak to her again. She was determined to protect herself and not become attached to Naihe.

Nai took the ring from her and reassured her "You are all I need", her heart leapt into her throat when she read the message. "It's time".

Weiwei and Naihe made their way to the middle of the Scared Garden that held the Rock of Lives, this time there was an elder who stood in the middle of the two statues with white hair and a beard that came to meet his belly button. His voice bellowed out "Luwei Weiwei, Yixiao Naihe, make your eternal vows and take each other as your in-game spouse. You're now the one hundred and fifty-eight thousand nine hundred and ninety ninth couple who have married in this server. May your love and cherish each other for the rest of your lives". They turned to look at each other while all the players around them clapped.

In the dorm Yugong, Houzi and Hao Mei started to clap in reality. "It's done", Yugong said cheerily. All three started to dance singing "Flower Petal Shower" in a childlike manner. "I can't believe Nai has a wife", Yugong announced while standing. "I thought he would be single forever considering his crappy personality"

"Ditto", Hao Mei agreed

"He's married now", Houzi pointed out. "That means there is hope for us", he grabbed Yugong and started to ballroom dance around the dorm with him. "Let's Dance", Houzi sang as they were dancing.

"Congratulations, you two", Hao Mei teased. "I'm going to join the parade; I will follow the bridal carriage". The other two agreed and quickly returned to their laptops.

A group of players that were not invited to the wedding started to congregate on the bridges as the bridal sedan was making its journey through Jinling city, including the Xiaoyu's clan.

Naihe sat astride a Cremello horse, that was as white as a polar bear and had piercing blue eyes. The bridling on the horse was rose red and Naihe was dressed in red with his hair pin straight and flowing over his shoulders. Weiwei sat in the bridal sedan that was a deep red like the bloom of poppy fields, of the petals that would bend and move like the wind. The sedan was covered with embroidery that was gold and white, it was breath taking to look at. Inside the sedan Weiwei wore a scarlet gown that matched the colour of the sedan with again white and gold hand stitched embroidery on it. She lifted the veil that matched her dress to peek out of the Sedan and see if she could perhaps see Naihe but couldn't. She knew her teammates were walking to her left she could hear them joking and laughing. She let out the smallest of smiles before she placed the veil back over her face and waited for the procession to stop.

"Didn't Luwei Weiwei just get dumped?" a male player asked. The character was a very menacing character in the game and made Weiwei feel uncomfortable. The character had a scar from the top of his left eye down to his jaw line and would wear a necklace of tiny skulls. "Yixiao Naihe is the best player in this server. He is taking Zhenshui Wuxiang's used harlot?" he questioned to the chatroom. "What is he thinking".

Nai saw the messages and pulled the horse to a stop. He didn't want to start a battle on the day he married Weiwei in the game. It would not be a good luck for their in-game marriage ahead and he may alienate her from wanting to meet him in reality as well.

"Top players are so eccentric", a female player commented "If it were up to me, Yixiao Naihe would be with Xiaoyu YaoYao. The top player should be matched with the top beauty."

"I'm glad someone has taste", Qingqing told YaoYao "Yixiao Naihe must be blind. Why did he marry a hag like Weiwei?"

"Stop it. I already have Zhenshui", YaoYao reprimanded Qingqing.

"I know, I just feel bad for Yixiao Naihe", Qingqing continued "YaoYao, if Naihe desired you too. Who would you pick? Naihe seems quite wealthy too. This wedding is better than Zhenshui's wedding."

"Who cares about money?" YaoYao said indigently "I would pick Zhenshui, for sure!". All four of the Xiaoyu's laughed.

Unknown to Naihe and his team someone has started a poll pitting Naihe against Zhenshui and Weiwei against YaoYao. All of a sudden, the game announced "Yixiao Naihe versus Zhenshui Wuxiang, Yixiao Naihe wins!", Naihe was confused at what was happening until he looked on the website of the game and saw the poll. He was hoping that meant that Weiwei had also won her poll. "Luwei Weiwei versus Xiaoyu YaoYao", come on Weiwei he was saying under his breath. "Xiaoyu YaoYao wins", he was disappointed to say the least.

However, his three best friends and team mates were not accepting that result. This announcement angered them. "Says who?" Yugong announced in the global chatroom. "Mrs Nai is much better! Let's duke it out".

"Right! Let's duke it out if you don't believe us", Houzi backed Yugong. No way was someone smearing their friend's wife like that. No one responded. Nai couldn't help but smile. No one had the guts to say anything to their faces but were big enough to vote on a poll where they were anonymous. Nai turned the horse and kept riding away. He would deal with the male character that called Weiwei a harlot later.

Weiwei sat in her dorm room and realised how touched she was that the teammates stood up for her without a second thought. She had never had this in the game before. If anyone was to stand up for her it was after a lengthy explanation. That was twice now Naihe, Yugong, Hao Mei and Houzi had taken her by surprise. She was becoming more and more attached to them. As the procession continues, she took out her practice test papers to study. She is busy answering the questions on the study sheet when she notices a player mentioning Naihe. "I've seen Yixiao Naihe and Xiaoyu YaoYao together before?"

"Yeah?", another player questions

"Me too! I saw them taking on monsters together. It was only a few days ago maybe last week."

"That means Luwei Weiwei got dumped by Zhenshui Wuxiang and Yixiao Naihe got dumped by Xiaoyu YaoYao". Nai saw the comments as well and said nothing. He didn't care what other people cared about or gossiped about. He just cared what his friends and family believed of him. He would never comment on rumour and gossip. He dealt with facts. He walked away from the computer momentarily to put his laptop and jacket away from the conference as he ran into his apartment threw his things on the bed as he didn't want Weiwei to be waiting on him. "So, Yixiao Naihe and Luwei Weiwei are a pair of bitter resentments?"

Naihe and YaoYao took on monsters together? Weiwei questioned. She didn't want to seem insecure but felt she had to know what happened between them so she questioned him about knowing her.

Nai's laptop alerted him to the message Weiwei had sent him. He walked back and sat to read the message. He immediately denied knowing YaoYao.

"You've been seen taking on monsters together", Weiwei told him

"That counts?", he questioned, he had met and spoken to her in the game once.

"Yugong invited her to join our team once. She was terrible, so I kicked her out". Weiwei was more than satisfied with the answer that Naihe gave her. She smiled sweetly and went back to her study sheets.

"It's consummation time." Hao Mei announced in their team chat. "Let's watch!".

"When did 'A Chinese Ghost Story' introduce the consummation function", Yugong asked.

"it's new", Houzi looked at Yugong "but it's quite boring. You can only do two things. Standing and chatting or sitting and chatting. It's all chat no action".

"Mr Hou, what else do you expect", Yugong inquired.

Nai had different ideas, he wanted to get to know Weiwei better and be able to talk to her without the three stooges around. So, he blocked them from joining that part of the game.

"They won't let us watch", Hao Mei grumbled.

Nai looked at the screen as he watched the two avatars being lifted into the night sky in a hot air balloon and smiled in a moment of perfect happiness. He loved it; he was falling in love with her even deeper than love at first sight. It was a photograph of pure serenity to him. As the balloon rode higher into the sky "what are we doing?", Weiwei asked him.

"Enjoying the sights", he told her.

"The moon is so full tonight! Are we on our honeymoon?" She turned to face him and his avatar was still staring at the moon and said nothing. Seriously! We're on our honeymoon!

"Mr Nai, you are so serious about this." The balloon carried them off into the moonlight. They had to complete certain tasks to complete the honeymoon quest of the game and they spent the next couple of hours talking and completing the quests one by one.

When the game announced "Ding-dong! In-game wedding is complete", Weiwei had to admit she was slightly disappointed. She wanted it to go for longer. Both players agreed on the next time and day they would play together and logged off for the evening.

The next day after her classes had finished Weiwei and Er Xi were rushing to the cafeteria as they had Sweet and Sour pork for lunch and it was always the first to go. Er Xi was engrossed in something on her phone, Weiwei tried to join the lunchtime queue. "Why don't we have braised pork today?" Weiwei turned and could not find Er Xi. She looked around and she was standing in the middle of the cafeteria with her nose stuck to her phone. Weiwei ran over and tried to guide Er-Xi to the nearest food queue. "What is it? You are so absorbed! Come on!"

"There's a lot of gossip lately", Er Xi told Weiwei. "People are slamming the basketball game's false ad". Er Xi began to read one of the headlines from the forum out loud.

"When I saw the campus beauty getting out of a luxury car, my world collapsed. Who wrote this headline?" Er Xi challenged "It's so nasty. I like I though". Er Xi began to read the article under the headline and looked at the photographs attached. She recognised the back pack. She turned Weiwei and took the backpack from her and sat it on a nearby table. She zoomed into the back pack and compared it.

"What is it", Weiwei demanded

"The bag in the photo is a lot like yours. Look", she told her. Weiwei looked at the screen and shock came over her. That was her. How dare someone take her picture and insinuate that she was dating an older married man that had a luxury car. "What? That is me!", she told Er Xi. "I remember Xioyang's mother gave me a ride back."

"What's wrong with this post's author? He is slandering you without fact checking", Er Xi started to get mad which in turn cause Weiwei to become upset. "Thankfully he blurred out your face. That's the least he could do. What now?", Er Xi asked Weiwei.

"Let eat, the find his account handle." Weiwei told Er Xi

At the same time Nai was in the university library and over heard some students talking.

"Check this out guys" one of the male students said he continued to repeat the headline to his friends. It piqued Nai's interest as he caught of glimpse of the back pack on the student's computer screen and automatically recognised it. "That's clearly all headline and no story! Boring!" one of the students commented. The students studied the pictures and agreed that the picture was taken on the school grounds as the gates could be seen and they were individually designed for the university.

"The girl has a nice figure", one of the boys commented "Why would a nice Qing University beauty stoop to that level. She should date within the campus. What a shame!" Nai looked up in incredulity at the students. He hated gossip with a passion they did not know the situation and they didn't know the person. The face was blurred out, how did they not know it was a professor getting into a husband's car and the author was just trying to get hits on his gossip page.

'What being at the campus gate makes her a student here?", a female student pointed out to the ever-gossipy male students that were sitting around her. "Don't be so simple minded, okay?'

Nai sat listening to the conversation. "Right? Plus, it could be her family's car!". The other male student commented. "People nowadays will do anything for views. They love to assume the worst in people". Nai had, had enough. He couldn't listen to the conversation any more he was becoming more and more angry the more he listened.

Weiwei had eaten her lunch and found out who the IP address had belonged to. A male foreign languages student called Cao Guang. She didn't know him and didn't know what his issue was with her but she was sure going to find out. She headed back to her dorm room and picked up a picture of the boy she tutored, herself and his mother in front of the car and stormed from the building to find him.

She walked up to the foreign languages building and bumped into two male students, who she was pretty sure was about to hit on her. "Excuse me, guys, are you from the foreign languages department?"

"Yes", the boys answered in unison "What can I do for you?", it sounded though they were twins who were connected by the mind.

"I am looking for Cao Guang", she told them. She couldn't help but notice the look of disappointment on their faces, but didn't want to have to reject them so let them have their presumptions. The two boys began to look around for Cao Guang and spotted him heading towards them on a moped. "Over there", one of the boys pointed. "That's him".

Weiwei spotted the guy that they pointed out. He was attractive in a bookish manner; he wore quite large glasses and had chestnut brown hair. He was wearing light denim jeans and a blue checked shirt that gave him an Americanised look. He was driving the moped directly towards her. She moved into the path of the bike so that he would have to stop and talk to her. He looked at her with annoyance. "What is it, Bei Weiwei?"

This made Weiwei even more annoyed. How rude could someone be. First, he spreads lies on a university forum and then he does not even have the decency to be polite to a female. "Mr Cao, I am here to restore your worldview", she told him.

He laughed and looked away from her. She was joking right. He parked his moped and sat on a bench to at least hear what she had to say. Weiwei took the picture out of her back pack and handed it to him for him to see that she was not in a relationship with anyone. "I am the tutor for this little boy. That's his mum, a single mother. That day, his mum gave me a ride back to campus. Mr Cao Guang, it's entirely your business, to have evil thoughts after seeing someone get out of a luxury car. But it's no longer just your business when you posted it without evidence."

"Who knows if this picture is real or fake. It is easy for a computer major to fake a photo", Cao Guang told her "You tracked me down, didn't you?" he looked up at her with doubt in his eyes.

"You don't believe me", she questioned. Fury pumped through her veins, she had never been so angry and what made matters worse was how he was just dismissing her as she was lying.

"I don't suspect every girl getting out a luxury car", he told her while he stood up and refused to look her in the eye. "You, however...." He paused, turned and gave her a sneer.

"So, you like to carelessly and crassly judge a person by her looks", Weiwei counteracted by now she was so mad she was going to do whatever it took to get him to admit he was wrong and apologise to her. She took a pen from her bag and wrote an address, date and time on the back of the photograph.

"What's this" he questioned.

"You don't believe me? Why don't you see for yourself?", she told him while handing the photograph back to him. "My student happens to need an English tutor. You can give it a shot". She walked away from Cao Guang deeply hurt, upset and angry about the situation. She could feel the lump begin to form at her throat and the tears begin to swell in her eyes. Although no one knew the photo was her, she did and she did not like to have that slight against her character. As she headed back towards her bike that she had ridden over from the computer department. She spotted Er Xi coming in the distance and took a deep breath and wiped her face to ensure there was no signs of tears.

As she was unlocking her bicycle Er Xi ran up to her. "How did it go?"

"He didn't believe me, he says the photo is fake", Weiwei explained as she put her bag in the basket on the front of her bike.

Er Xi looked at Weiwei flabbergasted. "How rude! We could say his photos are fake, too!" Er Xi told her friend who she knew was upset she could see it in her face. "I'll go beat him up" Er Xi teased rolling her sleeves up and going to walk towards Cao Guang.

"Go!" Weiwei told her "I am rooting for you", Weiwei knew Er Xi was going to turn back around any second.

"Weiwei", Er Xi turned back towards her in under 3 seconds "Why don't you take pity on a meek girl like me?", Er Xi joked with her friend. It brought a smile to Weiwei's face which she was grateful for. "You'll feed me to the lions", Er Xi continued hoping to get a laugh out of her.

"Don't worry.", Weiwei tormented back "A guy like him can't touch a hair on you. Plus, I will be on your side, cheering you on."

"You have no love for me" Er Xi told Weiwei. "What now?", she asked "he doesn't believe you! Why aren't you anxious?", Weiwei let out a sigh of relief when Er Xi asked that. She was managing to hide her emotions well. She did not want her friends worrying about her.

"What's there to be anxious about?" Weiwei covered. "A fake story can never be true. I will take care of it", she told her friend.

"You're so strong" Er Xi complimented Weiwei

"Let's go", Weiwei told her. "Come on" Weiwei backed her bicycle out and the travelled back to the dorm.

Later that night Weiwei had calmed down significantly and was studying with the game she loved in the background. When the computer alerted her that she received a message, when she looked it was Naihe. Her heart started to race and she began to get excited at speaking to him. "Weiwei, come to the Heavenly Palace."

Without hesitation Weiwei scrambled to meet him. "Heavenly Palace? What a posh place!" When she arrived at the palace what she found was unexpected. She saw Naihe and her heart jumped to double speed. There was another man with him tied to a column with a rope glowing as if it came from heaven itself. She ran towards Naihe. "Is he immobile by the trap skill, swing rope?", she asked him.

"He is not going anywhere", Nai told her "Use your worst weapon on him. Teach him a lesson."

"Yixiao Naihe, I only said you picked a used harlot." The man trapped by the rope commented. "Finish me off, if you must. Why are you getting a woman to torture me?"

Weiwei recognised the gaming handle as soon as his messaged appear in the screen. "It's you! I remember now!" she told him

"That's right. It was me. Finish me off, if you dare." He told her.

"Hold your horses", Weiwei told him. She looked through the weapon options she had available to her and looked to Naihe for guidance. He shook his head when he thought the weapon she was going to choose would cause to much damage. He wanted to draw it out as long as possible. She found a knife that was a beginner's weapon and caused very little damage. "I am glad I didn't throw away my beginners set", she turned to Naihe with a huge grin on her face.

"What a beginner's weapon?", Modao told her. She began to start slashing at him. It would take away very little blood points when she attacked him with the weapon. "I've got tens of thousands drops of blood. At this rate, you'll be hacking me into next year!"

Naihe looked at him with no sympathy. He attacked the woman he was in love with and he had no compassion for anyone who would hurt Weiwei. He would make them suffer twice over. "Don't worry. It's just tens of thousands of hacks. It's on automatic. My hand won't grow tired". As Weiwei was typing she could not take her eyes off of the avatar. She was falling in love with him big time and it scared her.

"I admit it, I was being nasty. You can expose me to the public if you want, but will you get it over with quickly?", the man kept nagging.+

"Don't worry", Nai told him "You won't die. When you're running low on blood, I'll heal you".

"What?" Modao replied "You're mean!" Nai and Weiwei walked away from the column leaving the knife automatically swiping at him. "Modao Shizie isn't afraid to die", Weiwei told Nai "why doesn't he log off instead of taking the torture?" she asked him.

"He's in a compulsive loop", Nai replied.

Weiwei was shocked at how thorough Nai was in his revenge. "A compulsive loop quest?", she repeated. "meaning if he logs off or gets killed, he. must start all over again?" checking with Naihe she was right.

He just nodded towards her. "You're so cruel", she loved it though.

"You're too kind. I need to take a call." He walked away from his computer to answer the mobile phone that was ringing in the background. She messaged Naihe saying "I'll go study then".

While she was waiting for him to return the Xiaoyu's clan approached. Feifei, Qingqing and Mianmian all approached the man who was still tied to the column. "What are they doing here?" questioned Weiwei.

"Yixiao Naihe? That woman's here, too." Feifei said.

"Modao Shixie?", Mianmian questioned.

"You know him?", Qingqing asked.

"He has helped me before, on a quest." Mianmian told her friends.

"Should we intervene?" Qingqing asked her.

"We have no chance", Feifei said timidly behind them.

"Be reasonable", Qingqing demanded "They're torturing him! Killing him bit by bit!" Qingqing turned and headed straight for Naihe. Weiwei was not about to allow this to happen. "Hey, Yixiao Naihe! You're the best of the best! What kind of hero bullies the weak?" Qingqing rebuked Naihe.

"Right? Two against one, too!" Mianmian joined in to try and scold Naihe. A switch went off in Weiwei she didn't mind people attacking her, the minute they attacked him though that is when she was going to do everything in her power to protect him, especially when he wasn't even at his computer.

"Hey! Why are you ignoring us?", Qingqing tried to get his attention again. However, they did not expect Weiwei to turn and respond to them. "It's a personal vendetta. You should just keep moving." Weiwei told them.

"What kind of a vendetta requires torture?"

Mianmian demanded "It's just a game."

"if you don't want to die make yourself scarce now", Naihe returned and his voice bellowed to scare them all. The three Xiaoyu girls looked at Naihe with hatred in their eyes. "I'm back. I'll handle this", he tells her. She doesn't want her to get involved with them any further. She makes her way behind Naihe. She had enough respect for him to back him in any way he needed

"Hey! You've really crossed the line!" Qingqing shouted at him

"Right, so what if you're the number one player?", Mianmian added "Your way to rude to girls."

Weiwei smiled and thought that this was pretty hypocritical. "It's just a game. Why get so worked up?"

"Does being a game give you the right to be rude?" Feifei told her. "Or give you the right to bully those less skilled?"

"Let's duke it out, as per custom" Weiwei told them "It's the three of you against the two of us. If you win, take the man and leave. We won't give him grief again."

Nai turned to Weiwei, she was not going to get her hands dirty in battling anyone if he could help it. "You go rest. I will handle it", he told her.

She smiled and laughed "I will watch".

Mianmian pulled the other two girls into a huddle "Can one of him defeat three of us?" She questioned her friends.

Qingqing bit her bottom lip in nervousness. "I heard he is really good though. He is the number one player. Would he really hit girls? What do you think?"

Modao Shixie came back to his computer after obviously being absent through what had happened. "Hey! What's going on? Who's duking it out?" he started to question. "What? Lady! I went and took a shower and you're still hacking away?"

"Shixie, it's me!", Mianmian told him

"Mianmian? What are you doing here?" he enquired

"I've come to help you" she told him.

"It's okay", he explained. "There is bad blood between us. It's good to get it resolved. Anyway, pretty girls are to be pampered. How can I let you fight for me?" That was the first thing Modao Shixie said that Naihe agreed with. Weiwei was on the top of that list.

"It doesn't pay to be a good guy", Qingqing told him "Mianmian let's go!". All of the Xiaoyu clan stormed off in a rage.

"Lady, hurry up with the hacking already." Modao asked Weiwei. "I still have 200 blood points left. I'll go do my laundry. Will you be done by then?"

Weiwei saw the gentle side the Modao "You've got a mean tongue", she told him "but your kind enough at heart." Weiwei stopped the automatic attack on him and told him "Fine. I don't want to waste money on the internet and electricity. I'll go and collect herbs.

"Let's go", Naihe suggested to Weiwei, who agreed. They both left Modao Shixie attached to the column without removing the swing rope.

"Wait, can't you unbind the swing rope before you go?" he shouted as they left.

Both Weiwei and Naihe walked in a gardened area of the game. "How did you know Modao Shixie was in a compulsion loop?", Weiwei asked Naihe.

"I logged on this afternoon" Naihe began to explain "He said in the public chat rooms that he needed many monster skills books. So, I knew he was in a compulsion loop."

"Why would a compulsion loop require collecting monster skill books?" Weiwei didn't understand how he knew. "A variety of quests need monster skills books."

"Non playing character quest patrons are all different" Naihe began to explain to her. "A compulsion loop requires collecting monster skill books at level two hundred and thirty-six, where the NPC is Wu Nandai. I waited there for a while and he soon showed up."

"You remember the level and the NPC at that level" amazed by the memory he had; she was in awe of him further. "Your memory is incredible. By the way, you said you saw Modao Shixie in the afternoon. Why didn't you take him out then?"

"He was only at Level two hundred and five. I waited until he got level two hundred and ninety-nine the last level", Naihe explained to her. "Isn't it more impactful for him to fail at the very last step?"

"Yes, you win", Weiwei told him. 'Thank you, Naihe." He turned to around to face her. What was she thanking him for it was his job as her husband to ensure she is safe and no one insults her?

"Don't thank me", he begins to tell her "It is my duty."

She smiled at him and thought it was cute, he thought she meant for the revenge earlier but it wasn't. "This afternoon, I was really upset over something. I didn't show it. I don't want my roommates to worry. But now, all of a sudden I am really happy."

"Because of me?", he asked her

"Yes, because of you." She told him. His heart done flips in his chest and the butterflies were having a disco in his stomach. He felt like she was beginning to like him. "That's good", he told her. The smile on his face could not be stopped by anyone or anything at that moment in time.

YaoYao and Zhenshui were sitting in a field area of the game just talking when the three Xiaoyu girls ran up to them. "YaoYao!" all of them yelled

"That hag, Luwei Weiwei, bullied us again!" Qingqing told YaoYao as though she were a child being bullied by a classmate in school.

"Yes, it's true", Mianmian and Feifei agreed with her.

"Didn't I tell you to stay away from her? Don't mind her." YaoYao told them while looking at Zhenshui. YaoYao had to be very careful the way she played things with Zhenshui she didn't want to end up with him leaving her because these girls couldn't handle that wench. She tried to portray to Zhenshui that she was not interested in what Weiwei was doing, but when he was gone, she was plotting on how to get her back. "We're about to join their Bihai clan. We can't be on bad terms", until YaoYao could get Weiwei kicked out of the clan.

"We couldn't stand by and watch her bully others." Mianmian tried to explain

"You guys!", YaoYao scolded.

"I have an idea", Mianmian told YaoYao "The official sited announced a video contest. Why don't we make a video and get on their nerves?". Qingqing and Feifei automatically agreed. YaoYao knew it was a good idea but she had to work Zhenshui round to the idea.

"What video contest", he asked

"It's using the game's video recording function and make a love story with the 'A Chinese Ghost Story theme'. The topic is our story. Like a micro film, it can be any length.", Qingqing started to explain "The players will vote for a winner and the prize is great. The winner will get a seven coloured in-game couple's outfit."

"Okay! Let's make a video." Feifei announced "We'll win and Luwei Weiwei will eat her heart out". This annoyed Zhenshui and YaoYao could see it.

"I don't think that's necessary", he told them, "Why publicize it to everyone?".

"The seven coloured outfit may be pretty", YaoYao tried to coax him "but if Zhenshui is against it, the never mind."

"YaoYao, you're the bigger person, and shopping is always more fun" Zhenshui tells her, "We'll shop for more nice outfits."

"Sure", YaoYao responds.

"I should log off", he tells her "I'm meeting a cousin for dinner, I'll be back". As he logs off, she tells him that she will be waiting for him. After he has logged off, she and her friends hatch a plan to work her way into getting him to do what she wants.  

Weiwei and her roommates were all in preparing for exams while YaoYao and her clan were plotting. Er Xi was sat on the desk nearest the window and asked anyone if they wanted any snacks as she was ordering from the company. When all of a sudden Er Xi let a scream of excitement that scared Weiwei, Xiaoling and Sisi half to death. "We got interview invitations", she told them.

"Er Xi why are you screaming non-stop?" Xiaoling scolded her trying to hear what was being said on the phone call she was in the middle of taking.

"What interview", Sisi asked her

"Zhenyi tech's summer internship" Er Xi continued to explain "I applied for all of us. We go to the interview round".

"They replied already?", Weiwei questioned+

"I will call you back", Xiaoling terminated her call and ran around the table to join the three of her friends to look over the email that was sent.

"Big corporations are great, efficient", Er Xi told her friends with excitement in her voice. "All of us got through to the interview. Very wise of them".

"The interview is the day after tomorrow", Weiwei told them. "Thursday, we don't have any classes." All of her friends nodded in agreement.

"The interview will be held in Zhenyi Tech's conference room", Xiaoling began to read from the email. "Should we maybe dress up like office ladies?" Xiaoling jested.

"Are you kidding?" Er Xi asked "We're students. We have to look like vivacious college kids. Plus, they want interns for the game development division. We must dress like geeky girls." Weiwei, Xiaoling and Sisi all looked at each other with despair, they were not going to do that.
