Chapter 200: Strange Pair of Girls
After Chen Yuan asked this question, he noticed Sakura acting shy and evasive.
Her mindset was ultimately still quite easy to read, especially in front of Chen Yuan, who understood her very well.
She was like a lying child, convinced that her clumsy acting skills could deceive the adults.
Chen Yuan was certain that whatever she was going to say, there had to be something wrong.
But…
Before Sakura’s gaze could drift and she could speak, Cu opened her mouth for Sakura.
“Um, teacher, Sakura… has been looking for me these past two days…”
“Sakura isn’t very good at using a phone, so when she saw me playing games…”
Little Cu suddenly speaking on behalf of Sakura surprised Chen Yuan, but it was normal for Sakura to like games and anime.
Right now, Little Cu was the most skilled at using a smartphone; she had been exploring various things in this world, including mobile games, so it was no wonder that Sakura found it interesting.
In the Otherworld, Sakura could only come into contact with these things, so encountering similar ones in this world, which were even more fun and better than the games she used to play, was perfectly normal.
Cu continued speaking: “I even took Sakura to an internet cafe… to play computers… but we only went once!”
This was probably why Little Cu spoke on behalf of Sakura.
She likely felt that admitting to going to an internet cafe would invite blame, as these places were known to have mixed crowds and weren’t suitable for them.
Although things had improved a lot these days, and internet access required ID registration, many shady internet cafes still existed.
The clientele was complicated, and especially some unruly minors with yellow hair, who loved to extort seemingly vulnerable peers in internet cafes.
If they saw beautiful girls like Cu and Sakura in the cafe, they would surely say something like: “Beautiful girl, let me buy you a bubble tea?”
And that bubble tea would need to be pooled together by several friends.
However, Chen Yuan naturally wouldn’t blame them; he had visited such places plenty during his own school days…
Ultimately, they weren’t good places to hang out, so it was best to avoid them.
Chen Yuan suddenly understood the feeling of being a parent; no wonder his uncle immediately bought a computer at home when his cousin went to an internet cafe, and even started giving his sister money, despite her always having a displeased look. His uncle still doted on her…
So that’s how it is.
His uncle must be very afraid of her being led away by those with yellow hair…
“If you want to play on the computer, I’ll order a new one in a couple of days, and then we can clear out one of our rooms to make an esports room.”
Chen Yuan turned around and pointed to a storage room, implying that the two wouldn’t have to go out to play on computers anymore.
“If you ever want anything, just tell me. If you run out of money, let me know. No going out anymore, okay?” Chen Yuan reminded them.
He trusted Cu’s words and knew that the love for games indeed suited Sakura’s personality.
He just didn’t expect that, without even realizing it, Sakura had built such a good relationship with Little Cu?
That was unexpected for Chen Yuan, as Sakura and Xiaoxue had seemed the closest at first.
But as long as they got along well, it was a good thing regardless.
Ultimately, it seemed that Cu had made several good connections.
No wonder she’s Your Majesty the Queen…
Now to criticize another Queen, whose relationships didn’t seem to be as strong…
“Um… okay.”
“I got it.”
After that, Chen Yuan pointed to the snacks on the table, indicating that he had bought them for them.
Sakura immediately ran over and started eating the fresh-flavored bubble tea and fried chicken.
One major reason she peeked her little head at Chen Yuan was that every time he came back, he would buy her something new, almost forming an instinct.
She was like a little kitten who had seen her owner return from a hunt, her eyes sparkling and filled with admiration as she followed Chen Yuan…
The scene was just like in the Otherworld when Chen Yuan would bring her fresh food every time he came to see her.
Chen Yuan was enjoying it too; in this day and age, which girl was simple enough to be easily won over by just burgers and fries?
Not only won over, but she also provided emotional value.
But Chen Yuan was also thinking, wouldn’t it be one day when someone lured Sakura away with a lollipop…
If nothing else, just a game console and a lollipop, she would definitely follow someone else…
Just as Chen Yuan was happily watching the two eat, his phone suddenly rang.
Recently, he had received more calls than ever. In the past year, he might not have received many calls at all, but now he got a dozen a day, even with stranger calls blocked.
However, even with them blocked, they still found a way to get through, most of them being solicitation calls related to online holographic projections and offers regarding Yu and Xiaoxue.
Chen Yuan still answered these incoming calls; he had to, since some numbers might belong to acquaintances and hence weren’t blocked.
His contacts included several girls and some relatives and friends, with many unfamiliar numbers lacking any notes.
One reason was that Yu Enqi wanted to check his phone and forbade him from having other women’s numbers, and another reason was his own laziness.
Some of the numbers left in his phone’s contact list without notes were probably people he knew.
They had survived Yu Enqi’s searches and were still lucky to be alive.
Chen Yuan answered the call, and a voice came from the other end.
A girl.
Chen Yuan was taken aback, and the two girls eating paused instinctively.
They both looked over at Chen Yuan…
Do you have someone else!?
Although both of them had pure and innocent expressions, Chen Yuan already felt the ingrained fear…
As for Sakura, she definitely wouldn’t directly get jealous or anything, but just looking into her innocent and clear eyes made Chen Yuan feel like his soul was being whipped…
Just saying a word to the person on the other end made him feel guilty…
And Cu, while sensible, could also get genuinely jealous…
She didn’t mess around when it came to the confrontation with Yu!
Now that things had somewhat balanced out, he didn’t want to stir up any more trouble!
“Hello? Is this Chen Yuan?”
“It is. Who are you?”
“I’m Lan Guohuan.”
“Lan Guohuan…”
Chen Yuan actually had a good memory, but he couldn’t recall who this person was at the moment…
If it were in his previous life, if he truly knew this person, he would certainly remember who they were, but unfortunately, he had already gone by this point…
Now that he had returned, his mind was filled with many memories, and he had completely forgotten who this person was…
However, the girl on the other end didn’t seem to catch Chen Yuan’s tone and continued, saying:
“Are you with Yu Enqi at Jiang University of Science? Let’s hang out!”
