My Online Girlfriend Has a Twin Sister - Chapter 182 122: A Wonderful Night, Let's Start with an Exciting Topic

After changing into her little green dinosaur pajamas, Jiangg Yao flopped onto the sofa. She propped up her fair feet, now bare after taking off her white socks, their soles a rosy pink. Chen Yuan glanced over from a distance.

“I’m going to take a shower now, okay?”

“Okay~” Jiangg Yao replied absently, her fingers swiping across her phone screen as she browsed the photos they had taken that day. “Go ahead.”

Seeing her lazy demeanor, it seemed she had no intention of moving for at least half an hour. Chen Yuan was happy to have some quiet time to himself, so he quickly changed his clothes and stepped into the bathroom.

After fishing for over two hours, he felt covered in a lingering, salty-damp, fishy smell.

This was mainly because every fish they had caught had passed through his hands.

Jiangg Yao had only poked the tiny scorpionfish. At the end of the day, she disliked the fish’s slimy coating; girls just prefer to be clean.

Humming a light, nameless tune, Chen Yuan hung up his bath towel and started filling the tub with hot water. Thick white steam quickly filled the room.

When she heard the sound of running water, Jiangg Yao, who hadn’t even been looking up, suddenly shot a furtive glance toward the bathroom. Once she confirmed the young master had started his shower, the lazy expression on her face vanished.

She quickly tapped at her phone and made a video call.

Every now and then, she would glance toward the bathroom.

BEEP—

The call connected.

On the phone’s screen, a woman who looked exactly like her appeared. This woman, however, was wearing a pure white T-shirt and sparkling earrings, her long hair draped over her shoulders.

She exuded the gentle air of a mature, sophisticated woman.

“You’re back?” Jiangg Ning blinked. On the screen, she picked up a coffee from her desk and took a sip.

“We just got to the hotel. I just finished changing,” Yaoyao answered eagerly, bursting with things she wanted to share.

“Where’s Chen?”

“He’s in the shower, so I took the chance to video call you. Oh my god, let me tell you, I was so pissed off earlier. You have no idea how outrageous that girl was…”

Hugging her knees and holding up her phone, Jiangg Yao vividly recounted the entire story to her sister: running into Ke Bing that day, everything that happened during their encounter, the dinner party, and the kick she delivered.

Listening to the story, Jiangg Ning felt both anxious and indignant.

She furrowed her brow from time to time, occasionally asking nervously, “So what did Chen say?”

When she heard that Jiangg Yao had actually kicked the girl, her expression instantly turned to one of astonishment, her face filled with disbelief.

She was completely stunned.

“Yaoyao, you actually went and did it… That’s a little too aggressive.”

“What’s wrong with that?” Jiangg Yao’s eyes widened, looking completely justified. “If it were you, wouldn’t you be angry?”

“Being angry is one thing, but getting physical isn’t a rational decision.”

Ningning was, after all, the rational one. But that was only because she wasn’t there. If she had been in Yaoyao’s shoes, she probably would have exploded with anger, too.

“You didn’t see what she was doing! I put up with it for a full thirty seconds. If I hadn’t stopped her, her foot might have ended up on the young master’s stool, and who knows what she was trying to step on!”

“You… What are you saying…”

Ningning’s face instantly turned red. She clutched her forehead, and half of her face disappeared from the screen.

She could barely stand to listen to what Yaoyao was saying.

“Well, yeah! Was I just supposed to watch her hit on him? I don’t have that kind of fetish,” Jiangg Yao said, not thinking she was wrong in the slightest. She snorted. “If there’s a next time, I’ll hit her with a ‘Nine Heavens Thunderbolt Double Kick,’ followed by a ‘Shocking Chang’an’s First Punch.’ That Rourou won’t get away with it!”

“Alright, alright, that’s enough, Jiangg Yao. It’s fine to say that to me, but don’t say it in front of Chen Yuan. You two have only been dating for a little while… You should try to be a bit gentler in your daily life.”

“Hehe, I know.” Jiangg Yao pursed her lips. She thought her sister had a point. Once she and Chen Yuan were married, she could let her personality run wild. For now, she should stick to her soft, cute, and adorable persona.

The two sisters chatted and gossiped for a while longer.

When Yaoyao asked how her afternoon had gone, Jiangg Ning shrugged and said languidly, “What else was there to do? It was a boring afternoon. I kept getting sleepy while writing my thesis, so I had to drink several cups of coffee. Then I ate some sushi. And now I’m just spacing out, not sure what to do.”

“Is that so…” Jiangg Yao gloated inwardly. ‘Finally, my sister gets a taste of what it’s like to be lonely.’ But she still offered some insincere words of comfort, “Don’t worry, it’ll be your turn tomorrow.”

“But that means I still have a whole boring evening to get through today.”

Jiangg Ning sighed.

In truth, it was a lie to say she wasn’t envious. Besides feeling drowsy, she had spent the entire afternoon missing Chen Yuan.

While writing her thesis, she would occasionally fiddle with the trinkets on her desk. She would get lost in thought and only snap out of it after a long while.

Compared to the sweetness of being together, this loneliness felt all the more stark.

Having grown used to his company, Jiangg Ning even wondered how she had managed to get through the first twenty-plus years of her life!

Back then, she had never felt lonely.

“Okay, how about this? Help me edit the photos I took—adjust the filters and all that. You can send the solo shots to Mom later so she doesn’t get suspicious.”

“Good point. Send them over. The internet at this hotel is a bit laggy, but I’ll give it a try.”

Before she mentioned the lag, the video call hadn’t been choppy at all.

But as soon as Jiangg Ning said that, the effect was immediate.

Her voice suddenly cut out mid-sentence. Jiangg Yao stared at the frozen screen for a good while.

Still no response.

“Hello? Hello—?”

Just then, Chen Yuan walked out of the bathroom, looking refreshed.

“Who are you ‘hello’-ing?”

“Ah… uh, I was on the phone with my bestie!”

Jiangg Yao gave an awkward laugh and quickly hung up the call.

…

「An hour later.」

“The lag is killing me! What is this crappy internet!”

Freshly showered and in their pajamas, Chen Yuan and Jiangg Yao were squeezed together under the covers. They were halfway through a game when Chen Yuan’s character started teleporting across the screen.

“Sigh… me too. Everything takes forever to load, and that photo editing app I tried to download earlier kept failing.”

Jiangg Yao, her legs draped over Chen Yuan as he lay on his stomach, complained as well.

They were tired after a long day.

All they wanted to do was relax and quietly play on their phones in bed.

But the hotel’s internet was exceptionally terrible.

A laggy internet connection is something a stay-at-home girl can’t stand for even a second, and for a guy passionate about competitive gaming, it’s unparalleled torture.

You’d have a clear opportunity to gank, get halfway there, use your abilities, and then your character would suddenly teleport somewhere else.

Then your teammate types in chat to flame you: “WTF are you doing? Are you trying to gank the enemy or me?”

“Forget it, I’m done playing!”

Frustrated, Chen Yuan quit the game, opened a reading app, and started reading a novel instead.

Seeing how angry he was, Jiangg Yao comforted him in a soft, gentle voice, “There, there, young master, don’t be mad. How about I call the hotel staff to see if they can fix it? I can have them bring up some fruit too, okay?”

“Too much trouble. Don’t bother. I’m done with games, it’s just frustrating.”

“Then what should we do…?” Jiangg Yao propped her chin on her hands. “This is so boring, and I’m not even sleepy.” She had lost all interest in editing her photos.

She had slept soundly from last night until this afternoon, so she wasn’t the least bit tired now.

Although Chen Yuan had woken up at a decent hour, he’d also had a long nap in the afternoon.

Both of them were wide awake and not the least bit drowsy, but now they had no entertainment for the evening.

The original plan was to come back, get a good night’s rest, and head to the beach once the sun was up.

“I don’t know,” Chen Yuan said, flipping through his novel page by page.

“How about we talk about something… exciting?” Jiangg Yao suggested, leaning in to whisper in his ear.

“Oh yeah!” Chen Yuan suddenly perked up. He sat up straight and looked down at Yaoyao’s soft, charming face. “What topic?”

‘My girlfriend smells so good~’

‘She looks delicious.’

‘Such a fine night, and we’re going to talk about something exciting.’

Chen Yuan couldn’t help but feel his cheeks grow hot as the atmosphere grew palpably charged.

“How about we talk about your childhood stories with that Rourou?” Jiangg Yao said earnestly. “I want to hear them! And I promise I absolutely, positively won’t get mad!”

“On second thought, never mind. Why don’t you go ahead and call the hotel for that fruit? And ask about the internet while you’re at it.”

Chen Yuan instantly rolled over, leaving only his back facing her. Of course he didn’t believe her “I promise I absolutely, positively won’t get mad” promise. ‘Not even a dog would believe that!’

“Tch. Fine, don’t tell me. It’s not like I wanted to hear it anyway!”
