My Girlfriend is a Cold and Aloof Sickly Beauty 135

Chapter 135: The Girlfriend Experience Card

This wasn’t the “correct way to play” at all! It was clearly “made for trolling”!

Although she inwardly protested against the viewers who were enjoying the chaos, seeing Xiao Luohan’s bright smile, Jiang Xue’s slight annoyance vanished instantly.

Since they were playing in two-player mode, having fun was the most important thing! Solving puzzles and completing tasks were just a way to enrich the experience.

Adjusting her attitude, she controlled her goose to stand up and continue unlocking the gate.

Actually, she could have pecked back, but she felt that since Xiao Luo had given her a “surprise,” she should also return the favor with something unexpected.

She would let her goose attack when Xiao Luo let her guard down!

The first two maps were basically “tutorial levels,” allowing players to familiarize themselves with the controls. The tasks weren’t difficult and could even be completed solo. If the two geese cooperated well, they would be even more efficient.

Xiao Luohan became well-behaved after her prank. She still remembered that tonight’s activity was “not meant to cause trouble for each other,” so while Jiang Xue’s goose was struggling with the pumpkin it was trying to steal, she first placed the fruits and sandwiches far away from the patrolling groundskeeper, in the designated spot.

A smooth and uneventful game livestream was more likely to lose viewers. Although she wasn’t too concerned about the number of viewers, Jiang Xue still peeked at the numbers.

There were still quite a few people in the livestream, but they were waiting for Xiao Luo to prank her again.

Observing Xiao Luohan’s current helpful behavior, Jiang Xue felt that the viewers’ expectations might be disappointed.

—Her trust was shattered on the third map.

Xiao Luo’s goose, tasked with distracting the residents, ran towards her with a resident in tow while her goose was trying to steal something.

Jiang Xue’s goose hurriedly grabbed the item and ran, only realizing after a while that Xiao Luo’s goose was already playing “ring around the rosy” with the resident.

That was a close call!

After placing the item in the designated spot, Jiang Xue felt that it was time.

So when Xiao Luo’s goose returned, flapping its wings, and started explaining her plan for the next puzzle, Jiang Xue’s goose suddenly pecked at Xiao Luo’s goose’s rear and dragged it to the spot where the player had to stand and pretend to be a statue.

Xiao Luohan was stunned, but she also remembered this task from the list. After a moment of confusion, she calmed down and obediently waited for Jiang Xue’s goose to lure the homeowner over, completing the task.

She blinked, as if understanding something, but with so many viewers watching, it wasn’t convenient to explain to Jiang Xue, so she simply treated it as part of the show and let it go.

The first time had been a prank, but this time, it was purely accidental.

If Jiang Xue knew what she was thinking, she would have chuckled and emphasized, “That’s why it’s called a ‘break-up game’! Accidentally trolling your teammate or partner is the ‘correct way to play’!”

This game was very time-consuming. By the time they reached the fourth map, it was already their usual bedtime.

The energetic bedtime alarm suddenly rang, startling Jiang Xue, who was looking at the task list. She hurriedly reached for her phone.

Although she quickly turned off the alarm, checking the comments section, she saw the viewers spamming question marks.

【Whoa, “Crematorium Song”?】

【Luo Wife probably wouldn’t use this as her ringtone, so it must be A-Xue Wife’s phone (dog head)】

【I’m dying of laughter! I thought it was my phone, but it was the streamer!】

【Such a beautiful mental state, is this what a modern high school senior is like?】

【The exam is over, it’s time to change the ringtone, right?】

For her health, Jiang Xue still kept the bedtime alarm, but the song did need to be changed.

After saying goodbye to the viewers, ending the game and the livestream, Jiang Xue held her phone, scrolling through the list of ringtones, struggling to choose.

Finally, she simply handed the phone to Xiao Luohan. “Help me choose one!”

“Can I only choose from these?” Xiao Luohan asked, taking the phone.

“If you have other songs you like, you can download them and choose them too,” Jiang Xue said, then, realizing the implication of her words, immediately changed her tone. “Of course, you can also play a song you want me to hear, and I’ll record it as my ringtone!”

Xiao Luohan had the same intention, but she was also struggling to choose a song.

This song would probably be Jiang Xue’s ringtone for a long time, playing every night during summer vacation and university, reminding her that it was time to sleep.

…In other words, during the days when she couldn’t be with Jiang Xue, this song might evoke longing and comfort her loneliness.

Perhaps she was overthinking, but with this thought, Xiao Luohan couldn’t choose a suitable song from the ones she had learned or liked.

After some thought, she simply sat down at the guqin. “Then I’ll play an impromptu piece.”

Although it was impromptu, her mind had been filled with thoughts of her and Jiang Xue’s encounter and their subsequent adventures.

Two worlds that should have been parallel had intersected, and through their joint efforts, this intersection had gradually expanded, finally becoming a passage that brought her away from the ancient world.

But their efforts alone wouldn’t have been enough to change everything.

So there was a hidden melody in this piece.

—The melody woven by Elder Sister and Cang Ling, intertwined with the love and hate of many bystanders and participants, had paved her path.

While she played, Jiang Xue kept the recording software running. This melody seemed to transport her back to the winter six months ago, when she had brought Xiao Luo to this vibrant world before the arrival of spring.

When the song ended, she even forgot to stop the recording, stunned for a long time before coming back to her senses.

“…If you also like this piece, you can tell my sister and ask her to find a professional to help you record it, so you can publish it on various platforms,” Jiang Xue suggested while editing the audio. “There are still many original instrumental music pieces. It might not be an easy career path, but it’s perfectly fine as a hobby.”

When she was a sophomore, she had even created an original song for an anime yuri couple with her clubmates, including the background music, lyrics, and a promotional video.

But they had done it just for fun, and the song and video hadn’t been promoted after being published, remaining hidden on her M-Station account until now.

But it was good that she had a record of it. She found the video and showed it to Xiao Luohan.

“Okay, I’ll ask,” Xiao Luohan agreed, finding the suggestion appealing.

After trimming the beginning and end, Jiang Xue exported the impromptu piece as an MP3 file, saved it on both her computer and phone, and immediately set it as her ringtone.

As she listened to it on repeat with her earphones, Xiao Luohan turned off the computer, rolled her chair over, leaned in, and hugged her from behind.

“Do you want a bedtime snack?”

“No, no! My sweetness quota for today has been exceeded!” Jiang Xue hurriedly refused. “Give me a few days… for ‘Xue Luo’ to become a reality, I need to prepare. Let’s just go to sleep tonight, okay?”

She had read some articles online. Even for the most intimate couples, it was better to use certain things separately. She needed some time to buy her own little dolphin, and… prepare the other two important things.

Her mothers probably had those things, but having just finished the college entrance exam, she was too embarrassed to ask.

Xiao Luohan could understand her thoughts.

Firstly, her “magical time” wasn’t over yet, so their intimacy could only be one-sided, but Jiang Xue also enjoyed being teased by her; secondly, they hadn’t prepared any precautions. Even if they cleaned their nails, it was still safer to use something else.

So she nodded in agreement, but her clinginess didn’t diminish, following Jiang Xue from the study to the bathroom, and finally, to the bed.

Jiang Xue even wondered if this was a side effect of the dolphin. When she was buying her own online before bed, she even asked the seller, only relieved after receiving a negative answer.

However, on the third night of this sweet period, she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, lost in thought.

She wasn’t unaware that habits were scary things.

Like how she had become accustomed to studying at a certain time, and now, completely liberated, even after moving out of the rented apartment and bringing all her books back, dealing with the ones she no longer needed—she had done it herself—she would still instinctively reach for the bookshelf at that time, as if to grab her workbooks.

This habit needed to be broken after this special period, so it was only a temporary inconvenience. But what about the intimacy with Xiao Luo?

She was enjoying it now, but when school started, and they had to live separately, even if the drive wasn’t long, they couldn’t just cuddle whenever they wanted, or sleep in each other’s arms at night.

And this habit wasn’t easy to “overcome.” Precisely because she knew that she would be separated from Xiao Luo for a while in three months, she was even more attached to the days when they could still cuddle and sleep together.

The summer moon was exceptionally bright on clear nights, and it was currently the middle of the lunar month. Even with the curtains drawn, moonlight still filtered through.

Jiang Xue, unable to sleep, moved the screen in front of the bed, opened the curtains, and stared at the moon, trying to calm her mind.

A few minutes later, she heard a slight movement behind her, but she pretended not to notice, waiting for Xiao Luo’s arm to wrap around her neck.

“I can’t sleep either,” Xiao Luohan said, having woken up as she always did around this time. She leaned against Jiang Xue and explained, “I’ll sit with you for a while.”

They had spent the past three days in sweet intimacy, not even leaving the house.

With Jiang Xue “liberated,” and Teacher Sui understanding their intentions, she had also given Xiao Luo a break. After all, the intermediate-level exam was still a long way off.

They sat quietly like this for a few minutes, then Jiang Xue broke the silence. “A-Xi has decided to make her move.”

Since they couldn’t sleep, and the things she had ordered hadn’t arrived yet, they might as well gossip.

The tribulation of the college entrance exam was over, and Xie Xitong, who had been patiently waiting, was naturally going to carry out her long-planned scheme during the long summer break.

“Did she tell you the details?” Xiao Luohan asked. She hadn’t received any private messages from A-Xi these past few days.

“On the surface, she’s going to be my sister’s temporary assistant, but actually, she asked my sister to be her ‘temporary girlfriend’,” Jiang Xue said. “The duration is until university starts, and the assistant’s salary will be paid according to a girlfriend’s treatment.”

“Mei-jiejie actually agreed?” Xiao Luohan was surprised.

“My sister’s intention is to use this ‘girlfriend experience card’ to make her give up,” Jiang Xue explained.
