In the hospital room, Skyler Robins furrowed his brow as he read the message sent by the other person. Did they mistake me for someone else?
He wondered to himself. But the voice of the other person sounded so much like Shirley Wilson, it was uncanny!
Skyler Robins wasn’t entirely certain of the other person’s identity, so he opened their Instagram Stories. Sure enough, there was a post: “Christmas is coming soon, I wonder when I can be discharged from the hospital.”
Attached to the post was a picture. In the picture, the girl had a dark complexion, thick long hair, and an average appearance. However, there was a small black birthmark on her nose, about the size of a fingernail. When she smiled, her two prominent front teeth resembled those of a squirrel.
Skyler Robins had been excited just moments ago, but all his enthusiasm evaporated after he finished looking at the photo.
“Damn, she’s not attractive!” He sighed, raising his hand to his forehead and tossing his phone aside. The thought of engaging in further conversation with this person annoyed him.
He had thought it was too good to be true. How could he randomly add a friend and end up adding that unattractive woman, Shirley Wilson, on WhatsApp?
“What’s wrong?”
Qiao Yu asked Skyler Robins upon hearing him curse. Skyler Robins lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling without uttering a word.
But in his mind, the voice of that ‘unattractive woman’ still echoed, sounding exactly like Shirley Wilson’s Ding. The WhatsApp notification sound rang once again.
Skyler Robins couldn’t be bothered to pick up his phone, but after a while, he couldn’t resist and opened WhatsApp. The other person had sent a message: “Are you still playing the game?”
He hesitated for a moment and responded, almost involuntarily, “I can play the game, but you have to use voice chat.”
The reason he agreed to play the game with the other person was simply because Skyler Robins wanted to hear their voice, to alleviate the deep
longing in his heart. In the stairwell, Shirley Wilson stared at the WhatsApp message, torn with indecision. She was afraid, afraid of accidentally revealing her identity to the other person.
She was afraid, afraid that hearing Skyler Robins’ voice would make it impossible for her to restrain her overwhelming longing for him.
She was afraid, afraid that after contacting Skyler Robins, she would ‘turn back’ and fall into his embrace, unable to resist telling him, “Ky, I have your children, triplets!”
“Are you playing or not?”
The other person sent another message.
Only then did Shirley Wilson reply, “Yes.”
Skyler Robins: “Log in.”
Both of them opened the game simultaneously, and Skyler Robins initiated the voice chat. He said, “Let’s get started.”
Shirley Wilson responded softly with a “Mm” and began the game. During the hero selection phase, Skyler Robins asked, “Which support hero do you play?”
Shirley Wilson pondered for a moment and said, “Cai Wenji.”
That familiar voice, even though Shirley Wilson intentionally altered it slightly, still unsettled Skyler Robins. His grip on the phone tightened ever so slightly.
If it really is you, how wonderful that would be. But in an instant, his expression darkened. Damn, why did he suddenly think of that deceased woman!
“Do you have any other heroes?” Skyler Robins inquired once more. Shirley Wilson replied, “On my new account, I don’t have any heroes.”
Skyler Robins retorted, “It doesn’t matter, you can’t play the game anyway!”
His attitude suddenly became more hostile. Shirley Wilson didn’t understand why the other person had suddenly become so angry and didn’t dare to utter a word.
After a while, the game began. Shirley Wilson played the game with normal actions, selecting Cai Wenji while the other person played as Descendant.
She followed Skyler Robins closely, but due to her distraction, her gameplay suffered. Skyler Robins grew furious.
“Do you even know how to play the game?”
“With this level of skill, you’re telling me you’re good at playing in the Telegram zone?”
“Why are you so terrible?”
“Did you not graduate from elementary school?
Do you even have a boyfriend?”
He relentlessly criticized Shirley Wilson, who didn’t dare to utter a word. Finally, after finishing the game, Shirley Wilson exited silently.
