In the hospital room, Tang Si frowned as he looked at the message sent by the other party.
*Mistaken identity?* he mused.
But the other party's voice sounded so much like Shi Ran's, so very much!
Uncertain of the other person's identity, Tang Si opened their Moments. Indeed, there was one post: "It's almost New Year, I wonder when I can be discharged from the hospital."
Below it was a picture.
In the photo, the girl had a darker complexion, thick long hair, and was rather plain-looking. However, she had a fingernail-sized black birthmark on her nose, and when she smiled, her two front teeth showed, making her look like a squirrel.
Tang Si had been incredibly excited moments ago, but all his enthusiasm was extinguished like a bucket of cold water poured over him after seeing the photo.
"Damn, she's truly ugly!" He put his hand on his forehead, tossed his phone aside, feeling annoyed even to speak another word with her.
He thought, how could there be such a coincidence, that by simply adding a friend, he would get Shi Ran, that wicked woman's WeChat!
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Yu asked, hearing Tang Si cursing.
Tang Si lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, not saying a word.
But in his mind, the voice of that "ugly woman" still echoed, exactly like Shi Ran's.
*Ding.*
The WeChat notification sound rang out again.
Tang Si was too lazy to reach for his phone, but after a while, he couldn't help but open WeChat. The other party had sent a message: "Are you still playing the game?"
He hesitated, and on impulse, he replied, "I can play the game, but you have to use voice chat."
The reason he agreed to play the game with her was because Tang Si wanted to hear her voice to alleviate the deep longing in his heart.
In the stairwell, Shi Ran stared at the WeChat message, struggling with indecision.
She was afraid that she might accidentally reveal her identity.
She was afraid that hearing Tang Si's voice would make her unable to control her intense longing for him.
She was afraid that after contacting Tang Si, she would 'turn back' and fall into his arms, unable to resist telling him, "A'si, I'm pregnant with your child, triplets!"
"Play or not?"
The other party sent another message.
Only then did Shi Ran reply, "Mhm."
Tang Si: "Log in."
They both opened the game simultaneously. Tang Si clicked on the voice chat first.
He said, "Let's begin."
Shi Ran hummed in response and started the game.
During the hero selection phase, Tang Si asked, "What support heroes can you play?"
Shi Ran thought for a moment and said, "Cai Wenji."
That familiar voice, even though Shi Ran had deliberately altered her voice slightly, still unsettled Tang Si.
The hand holding his phone tightened slightly.
*Ran Bao'er, if only the other party were really you, how wonderful that would be.*
But in the next moment, his expression suddenly turned grim.
*Damn it, why am I suddenly thinking of that dead woman!*
"Do you have any other heroes?" Tang Si asked again.
Shi Ran: "It's a new account, I don't have many heroes."
Tang Si: "That doesn't stop you from playing the damn game!"
His attitude suddenly became a little more hostile.
Shi Ran didn't know why he was suddenly so angry and didn't dare to make a sound.
A moment later, the game began.
Shi Ran played the game according to normal operation. She picked Cai Wenji, and he played Hou Yi.
She silently followed behind Tang Si, but because Shi Ran was distracted, she played very poorly.
Tang Si was furious.
"Do you even know how to play?"
"With this skill, you tell me you're good at the QQ server?"
"Why are you so bad?"
"Did you not even finish primary school, and you have a boyfriend?"
...
He furiously criticized Shi Ran, and Shi Ran didn't dare to retort.
After the game ended, Shi Ran silently exited.
