Chapter 189: 189: Oh, Jiang Zhi is not good at this~ (first update)

Monday, torrential rain.

The weather was awful, so Zhou Xufang took the day off and stayed home, and Jiang Zhi was at her place too. He had been living there for several days now, with no indication of any intention to leave.

Zhou Xufang felt that maybe… she and Jiang Zhi were… cohabitating.

Since she discovered the internet, Zhou Xufang’s free time had been very fulfilling. She had many novels, comics, and web dramas yet to finish.

Oh, and there were games to play.

So first thing in the morning, Zhou Xufang started her pleasant leisure time by grabbing her phone.

Jiang Zhi was quite annoyed because he was being ignored.

He couldn’t concentrate on the script at all, tossing it onto the couch, “Zhou Xufang.”

Zhou Xufang was seated alone in the adjacent beanbag, not looking up, “Hmm?” She was still concentrating on her phone.

Jiang Zhi felt she was way too addicted to the internet, “What are you doing?”

Zhou Xufang, dressed entirely in pink and even sporting a pink headband, with her phone case also pink, answered, “Playing games.”

Wasn’t she obsessed with online shopping just the other day? When did she get hooked on games?

Better than online shopping anyway.

Jiang Zhi asked, “Did Lin Wanwan get you into this?”

“Nope,” Zhou Xufang honestly replied, “A friend from the book community recommended it to me.” During her reply, she never took her eyes off her game screen, not once.

Lin Wanwan might be avoidable, but not the web of book friends Zhou Xufang had all over the literary world.

Jiang Zhi walked over and squatted beside her, “What game?”

“QQ Dancer.” Zhou Xufang was playing a high-difficulty song. The rhythm was so fast, she was busy hitting the beats to score and had no time to spare for Jiang Zhi.

In any case, Jiang Zhi was thoroughly neglected.

Jiang Zhi tugged at the rabbit ears on her pink headband, trying to get her attention and make her recognize his presence, “Isn’t that a game from years ago?”

“It used to be a PC game, now it’s a mobile game.” Ah, the pace was so fast, she was struggling to keep up. She leaned back to prevent Jiang Zhi from pulling her rabbit ears, “Stop talking to me, you’re distracting me from my game.”

Jiang Zhi: “…”

He went back to his seat and angrily tore open a bag of marshmallows, creating quite a commotion.

Zhou Xufang paid him no mind; she had just finished a song and then looked for the friend who recommended QQ Dancer to her, “Are you online?”

Her friend quickly sent a voice message, “I am.”

Zhou Xufang also sent a voice message, “Wanna go on an in-game trip with me? Completing that task yields an outfit.”

Her friend replied, “Sure.”

And off went Zhou Xufang with her friend, joyfully completing quests together.

Jiang Zhi felt uneasy all over as he lounged on the sofa. He sat up and opened a can of milk, “Zhou Xufang.”

Zhou Xufang, still not looking up, “Hmm?”

“Ahem, ahem,” he coughed twice before saying, “The tab of the milk can cut my hand.”

When Zhou Xufang heard that he got hurt, she became anxious, “Where?” She put down her phone and went over, “Let me see.”

Jiang Zhi extended a finger.

After a careful inspection, Zhou Xufang asked, “Where’s the wound?”

He showed the pad of his index finger to Zhou Xufang, right in front of her eyes, “Here, it’s red.”

Didn’t it look like how a neglected girlfriend would act petulant and coquettish to get attention while her boyfriend was gaming?

Zhou Xufang: “…”

She got up to fetch the medicine, applied it to the fussy patient, and although there was hardly a wound to speak of, she stuck a band-aid on that finger, “There, all done.”

Then she put the medicine box away and went to grab her phone.

Jiang Zhi caught hold of the hood of her pink hoodie, “Are you still going to play the game?”

Of course, she was.

Zhou Xufang said, “I still have one level I haven’t passed.”

Jiang Zhi didn’t let go, “Can’t you play tomorrow?”

What he meant was—can’t you play with me instead?

Zhou Xufang shook her head, pulling her hood back from Jiang Zhi’s hand, “Today is the last day of the event; it ends at midnight. That level is hard to pass, I need to hurry.” If she didn’t clear the level, she wouldn’t get the outfit.

“Let me see.”

Zhou Xufang thought Jiang Zhi was very smart.

Zhou Xufang thought Jiang Zhi was good at everything.

Zhou Xufang thought Jiang Zhi could certainly pass the level.

Zhou Xufang instantly handed her phone to Jiang Zhi.

“What are the rules?”

She explained the rules of QQ Dancer’s Star Move mode, “You need to get an S rank on all the songs in this album, and then you can claim the clothes.”

That outfit was really beautiful, all pink.

Zhou Xufang had already earned five S ranks; only the skirt was left to claim.

Jiang Zhi took a look at the outfit, “Can’t you just buy it directly?”

“It’s a collectible outfit, you can’t buy it.” Zhou Xufang was so frustrated, saying, “I have been playing this song for so long without passing it.”

Tap the circles and hold the lines, the game’s rules were simple.

Jiang Zhi declared, “I’ll clear it for you.”

Zhou Xufang replied, “Great.”

She thought Jiang Zhi in his non-mainstream days had played Audition, she thought Jiang Zhi could do anything, she thought Jiang Zhi was unmatched under the heavens…

After a round of the game, Zhou Xufang began to doubt her life.

“Jiang Zhi.”

“Hmm.”

Zhou Xufang glanced at the score on the game interface and hesitated, “Did you miss every beat?” Or did she see it wrong?

“You saw it wrong,” he said, with a beautiful yet frustrated and annoyed expression on his face that was ready to flare up yet couldn’t, “I hit several of those dots.”

Zhou Xufang: “…”

“Cough.” She gave a fake cough, trying to hide her current embarrassment.

Jiang Zhi’s ears turned red: “Are you laughing at me?”

Zhou Xufang shook her head like a rattle drum: “No!” Her lips sealed tight, she definitely wouldn’t laugh.

Jiang Zhi stared at her: “You are.”

“I’m not.” She felt the need to comfort him a bit, gently patting his head, “Don’t be discouraged, no one’s perfect.”

Jiang Zhi: “…”

This was his girlfriend – you couldn’t scold, hit, or get mad at her.

“Zhou Xufang, don’t talk to me for three minutes.”

He turned away, took out his phone, and downloaded QQ Dance.

Zhou Xufang thought he needed some time to cool down and didn’t bother him. She sat back on the lazy couch and sent a WeChat message to Ah Wan.

Zhou Xufang: “Ah Wan.”

Ah Wan: [Here comes bro]GIF

Zhou Xufang: “Have you ever heard Jiang Zhi sing?”

Ah Wan: “No.”

Ah Wan: “Not even once.”

Ah Wan: “I guess he’s tone-deaf.”

Ah Wan: [Leg shaking]GIF

Zhou Xufang: “I think so too.”

Zhou Xufang: “His sense of rhythm is so bad.”

The rhythm-impaired Jiang Zhi: “Zhou Xufang.”

Zhou Xufang immediately closed WeChat: “Hmm?”

He squatted down in front of her with his phone in hand, “Why is this outfit so ugly? Where can I change it?”

Jiang Zhi was still using a new account, and the clothes on the player were given by the system.

Thinking of Jiang Zhi’s performance just now, Zhou Xufang felt she had to offer some tips to the newbie: “You get them from signing in and doing tasks, and you can also buy them in the store.”

Jiang Zhi went to the store, made a mess of purchases, and then frowned, “Why can’t I join a dance crew?”

“Your level is too low. Dance a few more times and you’ll level up.”

He looked up at her.

Zhou Xufang saw, for the first time, a look of confusion in those eyes of Jiang Zhi that could usually captivate anyone. Paired with his misty blue hair, he looked like an emoticon.

Zhou Xufang taught this human emoticon hand by hand: “Click here.” She helped him click, “The first few levels are easy. You’ll level up after completing them.”

Jiang Zhi sat back down and started to progress through the levels.

Probably after about thirty or forty minutes.

“Zhou Xufang.”

“Hmm.”

Jiang Zhi said somewhat awkwardly: “Help me pass this level.”

Zhou Xufang glanced at it, Star Motion Mode, chapter three, fifth song.

In this case, one could say it was pretty lame.

Of course, she wouldn’t want to hurt her boyfriend’s pride: “Ah, this level is hard, you know. I played it many times before when I first started.”

Jiang Zhi grunted.

Zhou Xufang deliberately played below her ability, losing three rounds before finally helping him pass. Her palms were sweaty with the effort. It turned out, hiding one’s prowess wasn’t easy either.

Ah!

In the future, she better not take Jiang Zhi to play games that require hand speed and rhythm.

In the end, after spending two hours during which Zhou Xufang helped him through several rounds, Jiang Zhi finally got the permissions to join dance crews, but not a single one wanted this newbie account.

Jiang Zhi: “…” Damn it!

Zhou Xufang, the expert, remained quietly unspoken.

Time spent gaming always flies by quickly. Since it was still raining heavily outside, they didn’t go out for dinner, instead ordering takeout to eat at home.

Zhou Xufang had downplayed her skills in the morning so as not to hurt Jiang Zhi’s pride, and now, thinking back, it really wasn’t easy, so she didn’t play games in the afternoon. She watched a web series.

Jiang Zhi started by dealing with official business, but later joined her in watching.

There was no TV at Zhou Xufang’s place, and she used a projector, a rather expensive one at that, to play — President Gu, your pampered wife has eloped again.

She watched it for the third time and still found it thoroughly entertaining.

Jiang Zhi had one arm around his girlfriend’s shoulder and the other holding her cotton candy ice cream as he asked, “Why does she want to run?”

He was referring to the female protagonist.

Zhou Xufang explained, “Because she’s pregnant.”
