Chapter 228

"Do you need me to go with you?"

When it came to the agreed time in the afternoon, Mingmei decided to personally meet the Feng Jia who had asked her for psychological counseling to see who exactly he was.

Mu Chen was still a little worried about this.

"No need. Isn't the reason he risked asking me over because he suspects my identity? If you come along, wouldn't that make me seem even more suspicious?"

After saying that, Mingmei went to the school's psychological counseling room alone after class in the afternoon. By the way, she had Guigui turn on the full audio and video recording.

[Host, there's a problem with the signal here…]

As soon as she stepped into the counseling room, Mingmei saw a young man with golden-brown hair smiling at her. Immediately afterward, Guigui told her that the signals in the room were being jammed.

At that moment, the footage Guigui was secretly recording showed various distortions and pixelated glitches. Even the audio sounded like it was being played backward.

"Mingmei, is it?"

Feng Jia smiled and invited Mingmei to sit down. Mingmei naturally didn't stand on ceremony and walked to a single sofa on the side, choosing a comfortable position to sink into it.

She looked like a regular, not treating herself like an outsider at all.

Unfortunately, he could see very little about her information, and even more of it showed insufficient permissions.

Feng Jia thought as he looked at Mingmei, not showing too much abnormality, and started a conversation with her as if they were chatting casually.

Mingmei cooperated. She could talk about a little bit about whatever he asked, but it was just a little bit. It was like she answered, but the answers were very superficial, and nothing could be inferred from them.

While talking, Mingmei secretly glanced at the other party, and she was a little disappointed to see that he didn't seem anxious or impatient.

The person in front of her was either unfathomable, or he was simply curious and summoned her because he couldn't access her psychological profile.

"Mingmei's emotions have been very stable, and she is very positive in her outlook… but—"

Hearing this turning point, Mingmei thought, 'Sure enough.'

"It's just that Mingmei has always performed so well in the escape games, so I imagine her mind is always highly tense in the game.

Although this is conducive to exercising mental strength, it will always affect your mood. Even if you can relieve your emotions through self-regulation after coming out, I think it is still necessary for you to regularly come to the psychological counseling room for talk therapy and measurement."

Hearing the other party say that she performed well in the game, for a moment Mingmei thought that he knew what she had done in the game.

But the thought was fleeting, and she just assumed it was some polite remark.

"It's nothing. I haven't performed particularly well in the game."

Mingmei said modestly, but the other party said again, "Mingmei, you're too modest. With your strength, you will definitely become an important talent of the Empire in the future… Oh, no, you will become an important talent of the Hua Lan Star Region."

His statement made Mingmei take another look at him. Before she could say anything, Feng Jia said with a smile, "Actually, I am a fan of General Mei Qiu. I also watched the live broadcast of the Imperial banquet that time. I really didn't expect you to be General Mei Qiu's younger sister."

"My brother is no longer a general now."

"Well, it doesn't matter. Everyone is just used to calling him that after so many years~ With such an excellent older brother, you probably have high expectations for yourself."

Mingmei, who only wanted to be a salted fish: No, I don't, don't talk nonsense.

"Otherwise, you wouldn't demand so much of yourself, and you have a 100% survival rate in the game so far."

Feng Jia's words reminded Mingmei of the student death compilation discussion on the campus network, where everyone was looking at the death videos of people they knew.

Mingmei, who had never appeared in such a video, was very eye-catching.

In addition, her face as the mysterious merchant in the game had already caused some people to joke below, saying that she must have gone into the game to play a merchant selling boxed lunches.

As a result, there was a group of hahaha comments below, saying that the original poster had a great imagination, but no one believed it.

Sometimes, the truth is just so simple and unadorned.

"It's actually okay. As long as you're a little cunning and hold out until the end. If you can't be cunning, then you have to be quick. As long as you're fast enough, the plot can't catch up with me."

Mingmei remembered that Ruan Xun had said this to her when he was helping Yan Hui test the game, so she used these words to fool people without any psychological burden.

"Is that so? I'm quite curious about that~ Can you tell me about it?"

After saying that, Feng Jia's eyes flickered slightly. Now that the topic had shifted to the game, he naturally wanted to talk to her more about it.

However, after learning that Mingmei had directly killed the villain Boss as soon as she came up in some games, Feng Jia expressed, "That's okay too?!"

That expression was similar to when she first heard Ruan Xun mention it.

For more than two hours that afternoon, Mingmei accompanied Feng Jia, chatting about a lot of meaningless nonsense.

Mingmei could imagine that if she tried to get information out of someone and only got such trivial and useless content, she would definitely explode.

Unfortunately, until the end, Feng Jia didn't show the slightest displeasure, as if he would listen to whatever she said, occasionally expressing his own opinions.

In the end, Mingmei couldn't figure out what this person wanted to do.

Did he simply find that her information was a bit lacking, so he came to ask about it specifically?

After finishing the two-hour consultation, Mingmei saw Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Gui sitting here as soon as she came out.

"Huh?"

Before Mingmei could ask them what was going on, Feng Jia had already taken a teacup and greeted Lu Xiaoyao over there. Lu Gui gently patted Lu Xiaoyao's back, signaling her to go in.

"Mingmei, are you here for a consultation too?"

Lu Gui remembered the surprised expression she had when he inquired about her with Mu Chen during the day. So that was why.

"Yeah, just came to chat. It's nothing."

Mingmei shrugged and turned to look at Lu Gui curiously, asking, "Lu Xiaoyao is also here…"

He nodded, but Mingmei didn't miss the worry that flashed across his eyes.

"How was your chat with Feng Jia?"

Seeing that Mingmei didn't seem to be leaving, Lu Gui invited Mingmei to sit on the chair next to him and chat.

"It's okay, but it depends on what you talk about." Mingmei didn't hide anything from Lu Gui. "It's not bad to have him as a conversation partner."

"Conversation partner~?"

Lu Gui smiled, and Mingmei nodded.

"By the way, I remember you said during the day that you know Ruan Xun's uncle, right?"

"My family knows him."

It was the same explanation as during the day. Mingmei could also tell that he didn't want to tell her, but since he knew Ruan Xun, she felt that she should remind him of something.

"Since you know his uncle, since his uncle used to stay here for a while, you can also talk to him about things you're not sure about, such as psychologists you don't know…"

After saying that, Mingmei had already lowered her head and started playing with her optical computer.

Mu Chen sent a message saying that he had asked someone to buy some delicious food from outside the school and asked her to wait for him here for a while. He would come to pick her up with the food later.

This made Mingmei, who had been feeling a little down just now, feel better again.

"By the way."

Lu Gui looked at Mingmei, who was lowering her head and smiling as she played with her optical computer, and immediately guessed what she was doing, so he called out to her.

"What?"

"Mu Chen… Even if you're dating, you have to be careful."

Mingmei: "Eh?"

"He's not the kind of man who can't live without you."

Mingmei: "Huh 0.0?"

The more she listened, the more she felt that something was wrong.

"You have to be careful that his motives for approaching you are not pure."

Looking at Mingmei's increasingly confused expression, Lu Gui's face gradually became serious. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "He's in a cyber relationship."

Mingmei: "…"
