"Wei Wei," ButterflyDreams says in greeting.
"Butterfly Dreams, you're also in the competition?" said Wei Wei.
ButterflyDreams: "Well, I have to participate in such a major competition, of course."
They had a brief conversation. Wei Wei won't let her relationship with ButterflyDreams suffer despite the fact that she and BattleTheWorld don't get along; it appears that ButterflyDreams feels the same way.
Despite this, they are in a competition, so they don't talk much; the three-minute wait is when the combat starts.
Butterfly Dreams isn't on the scoreboard since she lacks experience in PK bouts. She used to have more skill than Wei Wei, but after a long absence from the game, Wei Wei has caught up to her thanks to all of her equipment improvements.
They therefore possess a comparable skill level.
Consequently, BattleTheWorld and AsmileNaiHe will determine which side prevails.
It is impossible to miss who the victorious duo of this round is.
"Wei Wei, let's find a place to talk," ButterflyDreams writes in a private message following the PK battle.
Wei Wei gives a smiling nod of the head.
The combat rounds with point accumulation conclude for the day. Wei Wei and Butterfly Dreams locate a peaceful area to converse.
The conversation has a straightforward goal: Butterfly Dreams wants to ask Wei Wei to join the guild, but she shakes her head and says she has a lot of tests coming up and doesn't want to spend too much time playing games.
After that, Butterfly Dreams stops pressuring her.
ButterflyDreams hasn't logged in for a while, so they don't have anything to discuss. Wei Wei remembers the rumor that StormGoddessNiNi informed her about after an uneasy quiet; she isn't sure if she should mention it or not. She replies reticently, "There's something that I've heard about," realizing that although interfering in another person's personal affairs is bad, hiding the truth from a friend is worse.
ButterflyDreams understands precisely what Wei Wei wants to express before she even finishes her sentence. "I assume you would like to discuss Little RainQingQing?" Wei Wei is a little taken aback. Are you aware of it?
"Of course," responds ButterflyDreams. Fear not—I'll see to her needs."
She smiles and says, "My relationship with BattleTheWorld is not something that she can destroy easily." We're dating in real life, something I've never disclosed to you before. If not, I never would have invited him to assist me in managing the guild."
In the actual world?
Though shocked, Wei Wei understands that she should not comment further. She truly doesn't know what to say because she has never been in a romantic relationship.
ButterflyDreams sounds secure about her situation; therefore, everything should be well.
Wei Wei reads ABCD and slashes her sword from the end of May to the beginning of June. She and NaiHe advance to the local server's final in the gaming world, and when Wei Wei, a classmate in real life, tosses away her exam paper, she sighs.
"I've finished my remaining prior test papers! So solitary!
The moment she says this, pillows are flung at her.
While logging into the game, Wei Wei smiles and gives a huge, loving embrace to Xiao Ling's pillow. This is precisely the moment at which the Great Master promised to check in yesterday—7:30 p.m.
NaiHe has already logged on. They fly a white eagle around the game to take in the scenery because they don't have enough time to do a mission because it's already 8 o'clock.
The pair-PK competition final on the local server is today.
UnawakenedButterflyDreams and BattleTheWorld are their rivals, as they have previously witnessed in previous rounds of the point accumulation.
They take the white eagle back to Chang'an at about eight o'clock in the evening. Just as they are forming up as a squad to go into the war arena, an announcement comes.
[System bot]: "The relationship between BattleTheWorld and UnawakenButterflyDreams has ended, and they are currently divorcing. They're no longer connected in any way.
Wei Wei is shocked, believing that she misread it. She sends a message to ButterflyDreams after reading it several times to make sure, but it is returned.
ButterflyDreams' account is configured to reject all messages.
But then she hears from StormGoddessNiNi, who seems rather worried: "Wei Wei, what's happening on? The reason behind the divorce of Guild Master ButterflyDreams and BattleTheWorld as soon as I log on?!!!
Wei Wei: "Even I'm not sure." It is not possible for me to message her. She is rejecting all correspondence."
"Let me ask the others in the guild," said StormGoddessNiNi.
When she returns, she lashes out and exclaims, "I knew it! LittleRainQingQing, that b*tch, is to blame!
The news on the globe channel has also sparked discussions among many.
Although the competition was seen as the day's high point, some find it difficult to avoid talking about it now that this has occurred. Uncovertly, an insider reveals that BattleTheWorld and ButterflyDreams are divorcing because of LittleRainQingQing; BattleTheWorld disagreed with ButterflyDreams' proposal to exclude LittleRainQingQing from the guild, leading to a heated dispute.
After the inside scoop was made public, the conversation continued. Some people immediately connect LittleRainYaoYao, a female "Didn't Little RainYaoYao steal WeiWei's husband before?" the player asks. I don't understand. Why is the Little Raven clan adept at performing these tasks?
Members of the anti-LittleRain clan also show up.
Little Rain clan! [World][LittleRainYaoYaoIsShameless 277]: the clan of third persons! Stealing the husbands of others is their specialty! Clan Little Rain! The clan of third persons! Stealing the husbands of others is their specialty! Clan Little Rain! the clan of third persons! Stealing the husbands of others is their specialty!..."
All right.
Let's see.
It resembles a riot.
NaiHe logs off, claiming he has other things to do since there is no competition. Wei Wei stays online instead of logging out, as she typically does after him. She keeps attempting to message Butterfly Dreams, but it doesn't work. The name ButterflyDreams quickly becomes gloomy. She is no longer online.
Wei Wei can't help but feel a bit depressed as she looks at the greyed-out name and recalls how assured ButterflyDreams was the last time. She concurs, saying, "Yeah, online relationships are too undependable," when she happens to overhear Xiao Ling discussing how brittle and untrustworthy online relationships are.
With a cry, Xiao Ling jumps in, saying, "Oh, Wei Wei, you're finally listening!"
For the nth time, Xiao Ling has been discussing what she has heard, seen, and read about individuals being duped in online relationships; all of this is to warn Wei Wei not to fall for a scammer on the internet, but Wei Wei hasn't responded to her warnings in the last several days. She works hard, and it pays off when Wei Wei finally pays attention!
Xiao Ling is relocating by herself; what a wonderful roommate she is! She's just too unique and exceptional! Wei Wei, however, asks, "What have I finally listened to?" with immediate perplexity.
Xiao Ling is astounded by what she is hearing. How about this? So in the end, it was a fruitless endeavor? She chooses to stop skirting the issue and states unequivocally, "I'm talking about online relationships."
"Connections through the internet"?
Xiao Ling gives Wei Wei a nod while maintaining eye contact.
Wei Wei gives her a quick glance back. Wei Wei gives up looking at Xiao Ling after a minute and shoves the large cushion she is holding into her hug. "Here's your pillow back," she says.
Xiao Ling feels powerless as she closes her computer and gets into bed.
Wei Wei lies on the bed, cuddling her own pillow as she looks up at the ceiling.
Online connections
Mmm, connections formed online are awful!
What, though, is it related to? <~\
Sleep, rest!
Wei Wei and NaiHe automatically move on to the next round of elimination for all servers as a result of ButterflyDreams and BattleTheWorld's divorce.
The best couples from each server will compete in the next elimination round; Wei Wei and NaiHe's opponents will be more skilled than those they have previously faced. They fight their way to the competition finals for all servers, but they are also a top pair with complementary avatar kinds and great compatibility.
The day before the exams, NaiHe logs out and adds, "I might be a little late because I have dinner to go to tomorrow."
"Mm (big smiley face), I'll come on later too," Wei Wei says with a nod.
Wei Wei will check in at that time the next day, since she has already become accustomed to asking the Great Master when he would be logging in. If she checks in while the Great Master isn't available, she becomes bored.
NaiHe: "At the latest, 7:30 p.m."
Wei Wei: "All right."
The next day, around 7:30 p.m., NaiHe is nowhere to be found.
