Treatment Plan for Emotional Deficits
Chapter 7
Shang Rong finally calmed down Zhang Yongya's restless heart, who insisted on introducing different types of boyfriends to her. Shang Rong began to rummage through the guide book that came with the game.
— — On the first day of playing the game, every male lead's initial favorability was a bit too high. This made her want to study the guidebook and see which one was the most difficult.
Flipping open the guidebook, she skipped past the game's background introduction and the various paths that intersected with each other. What appeared in front of her was the initial information and path introductions for each of the 42 male leads.
This guidebook was clearly a benefit for RMB players. The guidebook was very detailed, including the male lead's basic information and hobbies, the possible locations of encounters, the general way to trigger the story, and a ranking of the difficulty of the guidebook.
Shang Rong looked at the difficulty ranking a bit more with interest. She just happened to see the name in first place — — Ye Xiu. The other names close behind him were also very familiar: Han Wenqing, Zhang Xinjie, Wang Jiexi, Yu Wenzhou.
Shang Rong silently thought back to that Wang Jiexi, who didn't bat an eyelid but still had a high favorability. She quietly crossed out Yu Wenzhou's name in her mind and decided to try the first three first.
After having a general idea of what to do, she turned her head to look at the information on the first three.
The guidebook stated very clearly: The game starts after the end of Season 7 of the Glory Pro League. Most of the male leads were pro players, so they could be found in the cities where their teams were located. They would be randomly triggered in each city.
The guidebook, which was made into a magazine, had a few comments below it: [Didn't Ye Xiu spawn at a fixed location?
Happy doesn't have one!]
[F * ck, he was kicked out by Tyranny's security!
It's the thirteenth time!]
[Can't Zhang Xinjie spawn for a second longer? QAQ] and so on.
Shang Rong's interest was piqued, and she subconsciously flipped to Zhang Xinjie's information page.
Referring to the simple walkthrough, Zhang Xinjie's life style was strict, and he acted according to the detailed schedule.
In order to trigger a meeting with him, the location was set to Q City. The best time to meet him was divided into several time periods such as 7: 437: 50, 11: 2411: 50, and so on.
Shang Rong moves her fingers and closes the booklet decisively. She decides to leave the strategy to God — there are 42 male protagonists, and the probability of meeting one of them is not low.
What's more, the system would usually skip over situations where the male lead didn't appear.
After starting the game again, Shang Rong heard a familiar system notification: [DAY2 check-in complete!
Today's lucky draw has been completed. For the next day, the probability of you meeting the male lead will be doubled!
The free Bond Card is still in cooldown and cannot be drawn for the time being.]
Shang Rong blinked nonchalantly and heard the system prompt again: [Entering the game, please wait …]
After the usual distortion of light and shadow, the scene changed again.
"Dear passengers, the plane is about to land and arrive at Xiaoshan International Airport in H City. Please return to your seat, fasten your seat belt, and put away the table in front of your seat. Thank you!"
The flight attendant's reminder from the broadcast sounded in the cabin. It was gentle and sweet, and it woke many passengers up from their sleepy state.
Shang Rong blinked. She didn't expect that the previous plot would continue when she logged in again. She heard Sun Xiang, who was sitting beside her, ask dryly, "We're here. Aren't you leaving?"
"Of course I'm leaving." Shang Rong turned around and smiled at him.
"Do you want to go together?"
Sun Xiang nodded subconsciously, as if he thought of something, and hurriedly shook his head. "Not today!"
"Not today?" Shang Rong repeated with slight concern, and guessed what he meant with a faint smile.
"So, you can do it tomorrow?"
"I didn't say that!"
Sun Xiang's face turned slightly red from embarrassment, as if he was flustered and exasperated. He picked up his backpack, turned around, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared in the crowd getting off the plane.
Shang Rong was quite interested in teasing him, and slowly followed him off the plane.
A large crowd gathered at the entrance of the airport hall. It was bustling and noisy.
Shang Rong only heard their discussion when she got closer. They mentioned that it was raining outside, and it was pouring heavily.
Shang Rong wasn't in a hurry. She searched in her backpack and found an umbrella as expected.
She had always adhered to the principle of being prepared, and it really came in handy at this time … or it could be said that she really had the same habit in the game.
She calmly opened the umbrella and was about to leave when she caught a glimpse of a person standing in front of the stairs away from the crowd. He was tall and strong, and his dyed blonde hair was eye-catching.
If he wasn't wearing a mask and giving off an expression that warned people to stay away, the whispering girls would have already surrounded him.
Shang Rong thought for a moment, walked over, and invited him with a smile, "Do you want to go with me this time?
Maybe we can share the same umbrella. "
The boy turned to look at her in surprise. After seeing her smile, his face went blank for a moment, "You …"
Shang Rong was confident that he wouldn't refuse, so she simply held the umbrella over his head.
"Wait!" The boy suddenly came back to his senses, and his expression was a little awkward.
"How do you know where I'm going?
How can I go with you! "
"No matter where you go, I'll go with you, right?" Shang Rong was surprised that he could ask such a question.
"Otherwise, are you going to just wait here?"
The boy was dumbfounded for a few seconds. In the end, he could only droop the corner of his mouth, unable to refute, "Well, okay then …" He hesitated for a moment, and touched his neck uncomfortably.
"Thank you."
Shang Rong inconspicuously glanced at the affection level above his head. It was clearly still there before.
Then, she smiled at Sun Xiang, "You're welcome."
Sun Xiang looked even more uneasy and uneasy, holding the umbrella above him, "Let me do it, you're too short."
Shang Rong blinked, and obediently relaxed her grip, allowing him to take the umbrella, and deliberately took a step closer to him.
As she wished, she found that Sun Xiang's fingers were clenching the handle of the umbrella tightly. His face began to redden again. He seemed to want to say something but couldn't. He could only turn his eyes away in self-abandonment.
At the same time, his body honestly and considerately moved a little closer to her.
Shang Rong noticed his expression and actions, and could roughly understand how pure and innocent this boy was … Although she didn't feel any sense of accomplishment from such a fast speed.
After Sun Xiang stopped a taxi by the roadside, his eyes fell on the petite girl beside him.
He maintained the action of opening the door, and asked her in a seemingly bad mood, "Didn't you want to come with me?
I'm going to Jiashi Building, are you coming? "
Shang Rong glanced at the driver who had an ambiguous smile on his face and then looked at the door of the rear compartment opened by him. From this detail, Sun Xiang's intention was clear as day.
Thinking of this, she raised the corner of her mouth knowingly, "I want to go with you."
Sun Xiang, whose ears were red, sat stiffly in the front passenger seat while bearing the affection points that had changed to.
…
Standing at the entrance of Jiashi Building, Shang Rong took the umbrella and waved goodbye to Sun Xiang, "Let's meet again if there's a chance."
"Hey, you —" Sun Xiang reflexively turned his head and called out to her, as if he didn't know what to say. He furrowed his brows and pursed his lips.
Shang Rong pretended not to understand his complicated emotions, and with a smile, she took two steps back and turned to leave.
Sure enough, the sound of footsteps could be heard from the stairs, gradually moving further away. Sun Xiang had walked into the building.
After hearing Sun Xiang's movements move further away, Shang Rong turned around and looked at the brightly lit Jiashi Building, deep in thought.
… Apart from Sun Xiang, is there anyone else I should take note of?
Thinking of this, she became interested in waiting here.
The sky was dark, and the rain was still pattering down. It was the rainy season in H City, and it looked like it would continue for a long time.
Shang Rong was startled back to reality by the sudden sound of footsteps, and realized that she had been staring blankly at the Internet cafe across from Jiashi Building.
It was strange, but the two words "Happy" on the Internet cafe's signboard always gave her a strong sense of familiarity.
— — Could it be that she had seen it in H City in real life?
This thought flashed through her mind, and she casually glanced at Jiashi Building's entrance.
A person was walking out. He wore a normal white t-shirt and black sweatpants, and the orange light from the cigarette in his mouth was especially bright and hot in this rainy day.
His hair was long and not very neat, and under his thin bangs were a pair of pure black eyes, which made Shang Rong couldn't help but take a few more glances.
… … She felt that this person had a disdainful and mocking aura just by standing there. Moreover, it was very familiar.
Shang Rong thought for a moment, and then lifted her feet to walk over. She gently lifted the edge of her umbrella and smiled at the man who was staring at the rain with a bitter smile: "I think you need an umbrella?"
His expression showed slight surprise and surprise. The man paused, and then slowly walked down the stairs with a careless smile: "Yeah, I just don't know if this unknown girl would be willing to lend a helping hand?"
"Of course," Shang Rong gave a friendly and affirmative answer, and took the initiative to walk forward and hand the umbrella over to him.
This unfamiliar young man smiled at her, and in a very natural and familiar manner, he reached out and grabbed the umbrella handle — — inadvertently, his fingers brushed against hers.
It was warm and slightly rough to the touch, causing her to unconsciously shrink her fingers.
The faint smell of tobacco lingered in her nose, and Shang Rong couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him in surprise.
… … Even this smell was familiar, but she had no impression of this man?
Puzzled, Shang Rong asked him with a smile: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going … …" The man lowered his eyes, and his deep black eyes paused on her dimples for a moment, and then as if nothing had happened, he pointed across the street.
"That — — Happy Internet Club."
【Congratulations on unlocking the walkable character [Ye Xiu]!
The relevant information has been registered, and will be continuously updated as the story progresses, please check it!】
The system suddenly sent out a notification.
【Ye Xiu's initial favorability has been updated!】
Shang Rong subconsciously tilted her head in the midst of the noise. When she saw the top of Ye Xiu's head, she was caught off guard and opened her eyes even wider.
Ye Xiu's favorability was only [28].
— — This was really a pleasant surprise.
Shang Rong's interest was piqued, and she couldn't help but become more concerned: From what she saw so far, Ye Xiu's initial favorability was unprecedentedly low. What was the reason for this?
Moreover, with such a favorable impression value that was similar to that of ordinary friends, why would Ye Xiu deliberately touch her?
Or was it just an accident?
Driven by a string of questions, Shang Rong quickened her footsteps.
But her arm was suddenly supported by someone. The hand supporting her was warm, and the fingers were slender, easily stopping her from moving forward.
