Chapter 97 Those Who Come Can Be Chased
"Chen Che, if I had called her 'baby' back then, maybe her illness wouldn't have worsened, and we could still play games and chat happily together now. It's all my fault."
Chen Sui rambled on and on, her voice gradually turning into a sob as she thought about how the child who had always been chattering and creating a lively atmosphere in the group might be gone forever. She started sniffling and choking back tears.
Fortunately, Chen Che heard most of it and understood that they were having internal conflicts again.
"Yes, it's all your fault. If you weren't so secretive and always seemed aloof, things wouldn't have turned out this way. You wouldn't even call her 'baby.' It's all your fault," Chen Che said without hesitation.
Then Chen Che listed several of Chen Sui's "crimes," such as the fact that in the general game environment, raid leaders would take a cut from gold raids to subsidize themselves, and the raid members didn't really have any objections. After all, it was better to let a reliable raid leader earn some extra money than to go to jail for raiding, and it would also save them time, since the game's game cards also cost money.
However, Chen Sui never even considered this possibility, and still managed to lead everyone in team battles with such enthusiasm.
Chen Sui was stunned. This wasn't how she had imagined things would unfold. She felt so guilty and remorseful. Everyone should comfort her and make her reflect on her mistakes and change herself little by little. That's how it should be, right?
After all, her family members doted on her and never put any pressure on or blamed her.
Unfortunately, the people standing next to him now are not his family members, at least not yet.
The guilt I felt was imperceptibly suppressed a little.
"Then... what should I do?" After breaking free from the vicious cycle of meaningless internal conflict and self-blame, Chen Sui suddenly felt a little lost.
"Class monitor, I don't know if you've heard of a certain saying," Chen Che suddenly said.
"Huh? What?" Chen Sui asked.
"Throat cancer is also jokingly called 'happiness cancer' because the symptoms are very obvious when it occurs. People will naturally go to the hospital after a while if their throat feels uncomfortable. It is easy to detect in the early stages, and the probability of being cured is much higher than that of other cancers," Chen Che said after thinking for a moment.
Chen Sui's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Really? Does that mean I have a high chance of seeing Kapok again in the future?"
"Yes," Chen Che nodded, "So the most important thing for you right now is to change yourself quickly, so that when she comes back, you can confidently shout, 'Baby, you're back!'"
"Hmm...okay!" Chen Sui pursed her lips, her spirits noticeably lifted.
Seeing that the opportunity was good, Chen Che smiled and said, "So, to welcome this change, let's start by calling me baby."
"……don't want!"
For several days in a row, Chen Sui did not organize any group purchases, and the group was filled with lamentations. "Do you know what kind of hardship we've been going through while you're not organizing any group purchases?"
The microphones outside are filled with all sorts of lisp, lisping, and microphone snatching—it's indescribable. If you mess up, you don't even know where to get your CD repaired.
Chen Che glanced at the person diligently taking inventory in the warehouse, reconciling accounts with student agents, and shipping goods. He was so busy that he had no time to pay attention to the activity in the group chat.
Now that the person is gone, the responsibility of enlivening the group atmosphere falls on my shoulders.
"The team leader is working," Chen Che said in the group chat.
Although Chen Sui is working for herself.
"Working? Who are you, and how do you know?" someone asked curiously.
"I'm friends with the group leader; we met offline."
"Oh, what does the group leader do? She said last time that she was divorced at 38 with a child, is that true?"
"That can't be right. I feel like the group leader is quite shy. She's probably a female college student."
Chen Che smiled. Of course, he couldn't reveal the real information about her offline life in the group chat, so he typed a few words without thinking: "Yes, divorced with a child. She works the day shift at a foot massage parlor, massaging the boss's feet, and organizes group buys at night to supplement her income."
"Huh? The raid leader works so hard, yet he doesn't even make easy money from raids?"
"Yes, the group leader has a gambling father, a sick mother, a younger brother in school, and a broken heart... But even so, she has a heart as kind as gold," Chen Che continued to make up.
Then the group started chatting noisily. After a lot of chatter, someone was almost asking for the exact location of the foot massage parlor, saying they were willing to be the one to take over and become the child's stepfather.
When Chen Sui finished her work, she saw that the group chat hadn't been this lively in a long time. She saw that there were hundreds of messages. She scrolled through them from top to bottom and felt like the sky had fallen.
Chen Che's hands flew across the phone screen, but suddenly he realized he couldn't send any messages. Upon closer inspection:
System notification: You have been banned from speaking by the group owner for 1 hour.
Damn it, can't people even enjoy chatting with their friends in the group?
Before he could even finish chatting, Chen Sui stormed over, yelling, "Chen Che, what nonsense are you spouting in the group chat?"
Chen Che spread his hands, looking completely innocent: "No, I was just going along with your persona. Your online image is now fully fleshed out."
Chen Sui was both amused and exasperated, but after thinking about it, it seemed that she hadn't actually suffered any losses, except that her image as a gentle, reliable, and mysterious female leader had completely collapsed.
But netizens come and go, and after a while, who will remember them?
Chen Sui looked at the lively group chat, smiled, and typed a line: "Everyone's got nothing better to do, huh? It's the weekend tomorrow, let's take two taxis tonight and play until dawn. Anyone who doesn't come is a dog."
That evening, after everyone had assembled and entered the game, Chen Sui turned on her mic to test her voice. After hesitating for a moment, she sweetly said, "Babies, can you hear my voice? If you can, type '1'."
"1"
"I can't hear you."
"2"
"3"
"p"
Chen Sui glanced at the funny faces of the people in the chat and smiled. She was used to this kind of scene.
But suddenly someone noticed something was wrong.
"Our guild leader actually called us 'baby'!"
"That's funny, it really is."
"Am I about to die? I'm hallucinating."
Someone sighed in the chat.
"No, baby, you're doing just fine, baby. I wish you good health and that you never die," Chen Sui said with a playful smile.
"Wow, thank you, Auntie Sweetie," someone typed in the chat.
"Huh? What did you call me? Auntie Sweetie?" Chen Sui was taken aback.
"Yes, even though you're 38 years old, I'll always like you and keep playing raids with you until I retire."
Chen Sui smiled wryly and said, "Whether this game can survive this long is still unknown."
However, there's also the title "aunt"...
It seems pretty good, and I'm surprisingly able to accept it...
