After leaving Shen Cishu’s house, Su Li didn’t leave immediately.
Instead, she sat on the stairway landing, waiting for the car while reporting the situation to Bai Huizi.
Then she replied to Xiao Yuyu’s messages.
There was still some time before the driver would arrive downstairs, enough to start another game.
If Xiao Yuyu didn’t mind, she wasn’t about to waste that time.
Originally, because Su Li had suddenly left and hadn’t replied for a long time, a smile had returned to Xiao Yuyu’s face.
Her worries faded away like smoke.
After Su Li went offline, Xiao Yuyu’s fingers kept gently brushing over Su Li’s avatar, letting out a soft “hehe” laugh, all while chewing on the crisply crunchy potato chips in her mouth.
Even after drinking half a bucket of cola, she still hadn’t come to her senses from the joy of playing with Su Li, still savoring every scene from their game together.
But whenever she thought about not being able to chat with Su Li for so long, Xiao Yuyu inexplicably felt her heart grow empty, a sadness she couldn’t quite explain.
So she kept sending messages to Su Li on her computer while scrolling through their past chat history on her phone.
Just looking at their old conversations was enough to make her feel incredibly satisfied and happy, with each scene replaying in her mind as if Su Li were right beside her.
As for spending money on Su Li, it was nothing at all.
When she played O God, she also spent money on the characters in the game.
Su Li was far cuter and much more interesting than any character in O God.
Spending money on Su Li? She was more than willing!
【Cute Yuyu Roll: Su Li, Su Li!!】
【Chang Li: I’m here】
After reviewing all the meaningless chat messages from before, Su Li finally started replying to Xiao Yuyu’s messages.
No more than two seconds after she replied, a voice call popup appeared.
【Chang Li: I can’t talk openly right now, but I only have a little time. We should be able to play a game.】
Su Li finished typing and quickly heard Xiao Yuyu’s voice.
“No worries, Su Li, it’s enough that you replied to me.”
“If we don’t play games now, can you just chat with me a bit?”
【Okay】
“As for the price, we’ll go with 500 yuan for six minutes. That’s basically you accompanying me to play the game.”
Before Su Li could say anything, Xiao Yuyu immediately set the price first.
She felt she already understood Su Li so well that setting this price beforehand would definitely make Su Li like her more!
【Mm】
Five hundred yuan for six minutes—about eighty yuan per minute.
Xiao Yuyu’s family situation was probably better than Su Li imagined.
Otherwise, all that money saved up would have long been enough for her to escape her original family.
Su Li was more inclined to think Xiao Yuyu didn’t have a strong desire to break free from her original family.
So she wouldn’t push anything regarding that.
“Su Li, Su Li, what do you think about meeting in person?”
【You want to meet me?】
Su Li didn’t have strong opinions about meeting face-to-face.
Online or offline, as long as there was money involved, the customer would get their deserved service.
The other end of the call fell silent. Through the breathing sounds near her ear, Su Li could sense how nervous Xiao Yuyu was.
She didn’t have much reaction herself.
【Um… I kind of want to meet Su Li.】
Xiao Yuyu spoke softly, then felt her heart pounding, even her cheeks warming.
Scenes of being with Su Li flashed through her mind.
They ate together, played games together.
Even… even lying in bed together at night.
She quickly covered her face with her hands, feeling her body temperature rise rapidly.
The phone screen dimmed from inactivity.
Looking at the rough reflection of herself on the phone screen, the once-excited expression faded, worry creeping into her eyes.
She was afraid Su Li would call her Dafeizhu, like people she knew around her.
Saying only those from Longjiang knew how good her background really was.
【No problem, as long as there’s money, it’s fine】
Su Li replied calmly, without guessing what Xiao Yuyu might be thinking.
Seeing Su Li’s reply, Xiao Yuyu’s heart raced again. She stifled the smile tugging at her lips by covering her mouth, preventing herself from laughing aloud.
“Su Li… what do you think… I look like?”
Nervousness and insecurity filled Xiao Yuyu’s voice.
If she could know in advance what kind of person Su Li liked, she could try to change herself bit by bit to become the person Su Li preferred.
【Baby, actually you’re cute no matter what】
Su Li didn’t explicitly say what kind of person she liked.
She could vaguely sense Xiao Yuyu had insecurities about her appearance.
Even if Xiao Yuyu wasn’t pretty, it didn’t matter.
If she wanted something from Su Li, she’d just have to pay a higher price.
The service wouldn’t be lacking, but the cost would be higher accordingly.
Her internal price list would vary.
The taxi arrived downstairs, and Su Li put her phone in her hand on silent mode, tucking it and her earphones inside her clothes.
That way, even if Xiao Yuyu kept sending messages, she wouldn’t be disturbed.
Just now, she had forgotten to put it on silent, which was why the phone kept vibrating inside her clothes.
She remembered Jin Ke’er seemed to have this habit, but Su Li did not.
Xiao Yuyu stared blankly at the message Su Li had just sent her, feeling all her worries vanish like smoke at that moment.
Chatting with Su Li on the phone seemed like a really nice thing, at least she could look at their chat history whenever she thought of Su Li.
So Xiao Yuyu happily grabbed another bag of potato chips, shoveling them into her mouth as if ravenous, then gulped down more cola, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.
Nothing was happier than having food, drink, and the person you liked by your side.
But after eating and drinking her fill, a worried expression returned to her face.
Although… although Su Li said she was cute and liked her no matter how she looked,
thinking about others calling her Dafeizhu still made her uneasy.
There were many couples who fell in love online but ran away after meeting because the other’s appearance didn’t match expectations.
Every time she saw those chubby Dafeizhu heroines in online romance videos, she deeply empathized and felt hurt.
What if Su Li really liked her?
On Xiaohongshu, there were people who liked chubby girls!
Xiao Yuyu’s heart sank back into hesitation.
She looked at the bulky reflection on her phone screen, then glanced at the photo on the wall nearby, taken when she was slim and used as a profile picture for online dating, caught in indecision.
Which version of herself would Su Li love more?
