Chapter 157
“I’ll go offline first,” said Thomas.
“Go ahead.” Theresa waved her hand indifferently. “Don’t torture yourself in the future.”
He turned off the game in silence.
He looked at the dark computer screen and the empty alcohol bottles next to it.”
All of a sudden, a pale smile appeared on his face.
Monica was still Monica.
But she was no longer the angel she used to be.
She used to be his faith. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
But now, his faith had collapsed.
He didn’t know how to move on at all.
He didn’t dare to see his friends or relatives, so he simply found a remote city, found a hotel, and lived alone.
Every time his friends and relatives asked him about it, he would always pretend that he had already moved on.
However, in the end, his disguise collapsed in front of a stranger.
Even a stranger could be so gentle.
However, Monica had not sent him a single message in the past few days.
In this case, what else could he not let go of?
He should really let it go and move on.
With a smile, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Tomorrow would be another wonderful day.
Cuper
Back to two hours ago….
Susan washed up and sat on the bed.
“Oh? So early today?”
Ben was secretly delighted.
He saw Susan turn on her phone and click on an application.
“This is a single–player mobile game. I can lay on the bed and play it,” she said.
Ben was speechless.
If time could be reversed…
He would never choose Rose as the ambassador, never.
This woman had already surpassed Timothy and become his number–one rival in love.
The most terrifying thing was…
She wasn’t even around, but she could steal the attention of Susan with strange things.
But!
Susan was just playing games.
As a man, he had to show great tolerance, right?
According to the Book of Love, he had to accept his girlfriend’s interests.
It was rare for Susan to be interested in something. As a man, he had to tolerate it.
Ben was trying to convince himself.
Susan exclaimed in surprise, “It’s actually a love game? Oh my god, there are so many male leads, and every one of them is very handsome.”
Ben was speechless.
He moved closer to her quietly.
Chapter 15/
Susan had already begun to walk excitedly through the plot.
This game was called “Otherworld’s Queen“.
The general plot was that a modern heroine transmigrated to another world and became a queen.
Since she was the queen, she had a huge harem, which was filled with men in this case.
Therefore, the heroine began her journey of exploring the harem.
This was the plot with Man No. 1: The queen had a sudden urge to pretend to be a maid and go out to play. Man No. 1 was an assassin who came to assassinate the queen. He pretended to be a guard but accidentally met the queen, who was pretending to be a maid. They had a series of misunderstandings and developed feelings for each other gradually.
Ben watched helplessly as the female lead, who was disguised as a maid, was accidentally pushed to the guard disguised as an assassin.
At this moment, three options popped up.
Option 1 was: “Who are you? I’ve never seen you before! I’m going to inform the others.”
Option 2 was: “Ouch! My foot! My foot hurts a little.”
Option 3 was: “I… My heart seems to be beating a little fast all of a sudden. I think I may be sick. Are
you a doctor? Can you take a look at me?”
Susan looked at the delicate and cold assassin on the screen with a smile.
She did not hesitate to choose the third option.
Then, the assassin, who was teased for the first time in his life, blushed.
“Oh my, he’s quite arrogant.” Susan braced herself and prepared to continue her plan of taking this man down.
Ben took her phone expressionlessly.
“What are you doing?” Susan glared at him. “Give me back the cute guy!”
Ben glanced at her and calmly said, “Wait a minute.”
Then, he took her phone and went to the study.
Susan was left standing there in confusion.
Half an hour later, Ben returned.
“My phone,” she stretched out her hand and said.
Ben calmly handed over her phone.
Susan looked at him suspiciously and then clicked on the game.
As soon as she glanced at the screen, her face darkened.
She looked at Beh expressionlessly, asking, “Can you tell me why there are two braids on the head of the assassin?”
No matter how good–looking he was, his charm was affected because of the braids.
“Don’t you think he’s cute?” Ben asked innocently.
Susan glanced at him and was convinced.
However, she would not admit defeat like this.
“So be it. I’ll just watch the plot.” She suppressed the urge to close her eyes and continued reading.
Just now, she chose the third option.
The aloof assassin with pigtails suddenly blushed.
“I’m… I’m sorry, I don’t know how to treat patients,” he stammered.
It was supposed to be a beautiful scene when the cute guy blushed.
But looking at the two braids, Susan only wanted to die right now.
However, she would never let Ben succeed, so she forced herself to start the plot again.
The assassin took the queen to a lake to rest.
He asked, “Are you feeling better? I still have something to do, so I won’t accompany you
for now.”
The choices popped up again.
Ben glanced at her phone screen with a book in his hand.
Option 1 was: “I’m still feeling a little uncomfortable. Can you accompany me?”
Option 2 was: “What is it? Can you tell me? Maybe I can help you.”
Option 3 was: “You are not allowed to leave. I am the Queen. I want you to stay here with
me.”
Susan analyzed the situation.
The third option would reveal her identity and might get her killed, so that was out.
She wondered, “One or two, which one should I choose?”
She went with the first option.
She carefully chose Option 1.
However, as soon as she pressed the button, a red and black dialog box appeared on her
screen.
[After choosing Option 1, the affability level of the assassin increases by 20. However, there is enmity between the minister and the assassin. Now the affability level has risen, and when conquering the minister, the affability points will be decreased by 20. The minister looks like this:]
There was a photo of a sickly handsome man with no braids.
Originally, these two male characters were both good–looking, and it was hard to tell who was better.
However, there was a huge difference between having braids and not having them.
Moreover, the minister looked sick and delicate.
Sickly!
This character was her love.
She couldn’t help but look away.
[You have one choice to change your option. Do you want to change it?]
Susan thought for a moment and changed it to Option 2.
[The assassin thinks that you have too many things to do, so his affability level has dropped to 50. In the future, when the assassin appears, his initial affability level for you will decrease by 20. He looks like this:]
There was a photo of a handsome young man who looked youthful.
Susan was speechless.
His smile was so bright that it was a little hard to resist.
She couldn’t help glancing at Ben, asking, “Can you cancel this damn dialog box?”
Playing this kind of game meant playing with uncertainties.
What was the point of this dialog box when it leaked so much information?
“I thought it could help you.” Ben looked even more innocent.
Susan glared at him and then braced herself to play for a while longer.
However, every time she made a choice, a dialog box would pop up. Not long after, she completely lost interest.
She threw her phone away and said sadly, “I won’t play anymore! You’re bullying me.”
