“Ah? You got voted out too? Julian, how could you be so useless?”

“Was that my decision? Wasn’t it you who first revealed our hand?”

“Where did I reveal our hand? It was clearly because you weren’t cooperating!”

Late at night, Mingmei, having finished playing the game, walked to the balcony with a glass of juice, only to hear the all-too-clear voice from next door.

Lu Xiaoyao was having a voice chat with Julian?

Well, it was more like arguing than chatting.

Mingmei suddenly recalled the gossip she had heard in the game. Qi Hai葵 had said that Julian and Lu Xiaoyao were acting strangely, and now, after the game, wow!

Mingmei’s gossip radar went off with a *biu* sound. She held her breath and stood in the corner of the balcony, listening intently.

But after listening for a long time, all she heard was them shifting blame back and forth _(：3」∠)_

“Was it because you were seen by a pro when you assassinated Fei Fei?”

“What are you thinking? I only ran into her on the road and she told me that Mu Chen had gone to the train first, so I made my move. In fact, by the time I got to the train, Mu Chen had been there for quite a while, okay? It was you who was talking so much this round…”

“When am I not talkative?”

“Alright, alright, I’ll give you that you improved this round, but you improved too much…”

“It’s my fault that I improved too much? It’s you, why were you so conservative this round?”

“Was I being conservative? It was clearly…”

Lu Xiaoyao’s voice and Mu Chen’s voice grew louder and louder, and after listening for so long, the expression on Mingmei’s face was particularly complicated.

These two… no, did Julian seem to have a crush on Lu Xiaoyao?

The way they argued and stabbed each other in the back was familiarly heartbreaking.

Just then, the sound of arguing from Lu Xiaoyao’s side subsided once again, as if Lu Xiaoyao had hung up the voice call.

Immediately afterwards, she heard Lu Xiaoyao mutter, “What’s going on? There are still teachers in the school’s psychological counseling room?”

Lu Xiaoyao looked at the notification on her wrist in confusion, reminding her to go to the psychological counseling room. However, it didn’t say she needed to see a counselor. Lu Xiaoyao thought it was probably just routine psychological health management, right?

But when she thought about how no one had notified her when she came out of the previous game, but she was being notified after playing a relaxing “little game,” she wondered if there was some kind of delay.

“Huh?”

Mingmei’s expression also changed slightly when she heard what Lu Xiaoyao was saying. She sent a message to Mu Chen via Guangnao, asking about the psychological counseling room.

Mu Chen had just gone to the psychological counseling room during the day, so he should know something.

As a result, Mu Chen replied that there were teachers on duty there, because there were students from other schools coming to exchange programs, and they would have staff to deal with any problems that arose.

After explaining, Mu Chen asked why Mingmei was asking about this.

Mingmei told him that she wanted to eat some melon seeds (gossip) silently, but it seemed that she didn’t get the melon seeds she wanted, which made Mu Chen laugh for a while.

“What are you laughing at?”

“I was wondering, why did you believe Qi Hai葵’s words?”

“Why shouldn’t I believe them?” Mingmei remembered Julian’s slow, half-beat, sudden blush when Qi Hai葵 finished speaking. He probably thought that Qi Hai葵’s sudden words had made him incoherent.

Who wouldn’t believe it if they saw that look?

But speaking of which, when Julian was eliminated and Ba She confirmed that Julian was the murderer, the players were still confused.

They found the two murderers so easily?

Even Mu Chen later took out the five spiritual stones he had hidden and directly drove Ba She back to the school, the destination of the game, for a perfect victory.

This made Mu Chen directly receive the worshipful gaze of everyone, and Qi Hai葵 unexpectedly received several friend requests in the game.

All for the sake of eating melon seeds (gossip).

In the game, Qi Hai葵 had listed n points of Julian’s differences towards Lu Xiaoyao at the time, but hadn’t elaborated on them. Now that the game was over and everyone was familiar, wouldn’t they want to dig up more?

…

“I was actually quite wronged. Who knew Julian was the murderer?”

Wang Wenfei was sitting at her desk thinking about her 2000-word reflection when Mandison called.

“No way? Lu Xiaoyao was also a murderer?”

Wang Wenfei hadn’t expected this at all, but after thinking about it, she silently added, “She went to the bathroom during lunch break. Could she have been meeting with her ‘teammates’ then?”

She listened to Mandison talk about the later developments and felt that the subsequent events were both wonderful and indescribable, even though she had died early in the game.

“No way? Are you kidding me? Lu Xiaoyao and Julian are dating?”

Wang Wenfei expressed shock at this sudden, earth-shattering gossip.

“Really?”

“Huh? Does that mean unrequited love succeeded?”

Therefore, Lu Gui, who had been dragged to the psychological counseling room by his younger sister the day before yesterday, saw his younger sister enter the psychological AI decompression room. While he was sitting in the waiting room outside, he suddenly received this message.

[Wang Wenfei: I heard your sister is dating?]

“Huh?”

Seeing this message, Lu Gui’s body shook. When did Lu Xiaoyao start dating?

Lu Gui immediately stood up and walked out. He started a voice call with Wang Wenfei: “When did Lu Xiaoyao start dating?”

“You don’t know?”

“Should I know about this?”

Lu Gui subconsciously felt that this was a rumor, so he asked, “Where did you hear this gossip?”

When he heard that it was from the game Lu Xiaoyao played today, and that her “relationship” had been exposed, Lu Gui’s heart skipped a beat: “Explain clearly.”

…

Just as Lu Xiaoyao finished complaining to the psychological AI for more than ten minutes, the psychological AI let Lu Xiaoyao out. The evaluation result was that Lu Xiaoyao was doing great. When Lu Xiaoyao came out, she complained that the school’s psychological health monitoring system was broken and kept calling her over for no reason, wasting her time.

“Brother?”

Lu Xiaoyao, who came out, saw Lu Gui standing at the door with his back to her. She rolled her eyes twice and a mischievous smile appeared on her face. She took two steps forward and was about to reach out and slap him on the shoulder when Lu Gui suddenly turned around and blurted out: “I don’t agree to this marriage?!”

Lu Xiaoyao: What the heck??!

Startled by her older brother’s sudden, deranged outburst, her little hand twitched and changed direction, slapping her older brother in the face with a *smack*!

Lu Xiaoyao: Pupil earthquake.jpg

Help!!

Lu Gui: ???

Has his younger sister reached the point where she would angrily slap him in the face for a dog of a man?!

Unforgivable!!

…

And Julian, who had closed all communications after the game to honestly write his reflection, suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

“Hiss—doesn’t the imperial central star have specialized large-scale thermostatic equipment? Logically, the temperature difference between day and night shouldn’t be that big…”

Julian couldn’t help but touch his arm, wondering why he felt so uneasy?
