Chapter 252 No, It’s Autumn
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Nai started to visit relatives to wish them a happy new year. All of Xiao Nai's relatives were very kind to him, and there was no situation where any relative bullied an orphan like Xiao Nai. On the contrary, both his father and his mother's side came to visit Xiao Nai from time to time. Whenever they had something, they would think of bringing a portion for Xiao Nai. After all, their relationship had been very good between the previous generation, and they didn't even have any financial disputes at all. Because Xiao Nai's parents stayed to take care of the elderly on both sides and let the other brothers go out to make a living, the elderly on both sides left the house to Xiao Nai, and the transfer was even completed when his parents were still alive.
The elders in the family had no objection. Even after Xiao Nai's parents passed away, whenever they got something to eat, drink, or use, they would bring a portion to Xiao Nai. So Xiao Nai naturally could not forget this family affection. Now, of course, they would visit during the New Year.
As a result, Xiao Nai would not be back until the evening these days. There was nothing he could do. His relatives were too enthusiastic and wanted to keep Xiao Nai for dinner. They even knew where Xiao Nai was having dinner and would show up at that person's house to have another dinner together.
Then they stuffed red envelopes into Xiao Nai’s pockets. In their words, as long as they were not married, they were all children, and they would receive red envelopes every year. They did not give Xiao Nai any chance to refute.
The fact that Xiao Nai could still get red envelopes made Qiao Jingjing and others extremely envious. After all, Qiao Jingjing had never received a red envelope since she started working. There was no need to say much about Ye Xiu and Mu Cheng, and Sister Chen had already started giving out red envelopes.
In fact, Xiao Nai wanted to refuse. After all, in his opinion, red envelopes are always give and take. You give to my younger generation, and I give to your younger generation. Everyone wants to be happy, but Xiao Nai's current situation is obviously not applicable to this. But the relatives did not give Xiao Nai a chance to refuse.
Chen Guo also runs around like Xiao Nai, after all, she also has relatives who visit each other.
Finally, it was the fourth day, the New Year was almost over, and Xiao Nai returned to his previous lifestyle. These days, his account was left idle, so that Ye Xiu could take it with him when he leveled up. After all, they were now trying to reach level 50, so time was still very important.
The most important thing is that Xiao Nai and Ye Xiu's equipment level is stuck at level 40. There is no other way. The materials that the major guilds ceded land to pay compensation are only up to level 40. They have just updated their equipment to level 40. After that, they need to produce materials by their own guild. But there are still too few players above level 40 in their guild. So Xiao Nai and his equipment level is stuck at level 40.
Now they just want to upgrade as soon as possible. As long as they enter the realm of God, these will not be a problem. After all, Xiao Nai is rich. Even some second-generation rich players' guilds don't have as many materials as Xiao Nai. Don't you think so, Lou Guanning?
As a result, Xiao Nai stopped going out, and Ye Xiu began to ask him to work as a laborer. After the New Year was over, Ye Xiu took Mu Cheng out shopping for clothes, and Xiao Nai was speechless...
This is not the most helpless thing. What makes Xiao Nai most helpless is that Jingjing went to her grandmother's house to play today and directly threw her apprentice to Xiao Nai.
There was no other way. After all, he was Qiao Jingjing's apprentice, so Xiao Nai had to help her clean up the mess out of both moral and legal reasons.
At Qiao Jingjing's grandmother's house, Qiao Jingjing's lips were so pouty that they could hang soy sauce. There was no other way, so her mother asked her to use her account to leave a message to Xiao Nai saying that she was going to her grandmother's house to play and asked him to take care of her two apprentices.
Although it was true that she went to her grandmother's house, her grandmother also had a computer and internet, and she wanted to play games with Xiao Nai, but she was kicked out by this unscrupulous couple and asked to go to the back mountain to dig bamboo with her younger brothers.
Qiao Jingjing's abnormality was immediately noticed by her grandmother, who called her over and asked kindly, "Jingjing, when did you start to like playing online games?"
"Hehe, no way, grandma. I'm the spokesperson for this game. This is my job. Look at my parents now. They are hindering your precious granddaughter's work. How bad." Qiao Jingjing took the opportunity to complain to her grandmother.
"Oh? Is it really just because of the spokesperson?" Qiao Jingjing's grandmother laughed.
"This is mostly the reason..." Qiao Jingjing said as she took a step back.
"Most of the reasons?" Grandma smiled, touched Qiao Jingjing's little head and continued: "Jingjing, you know what? You can't hide the look in your eyes when you like someone. The look in your eyes when you were playing games yesterday was not as simple as liking a game. And I don't think your parents are the kind of people who like to play games. Just now I saw that the little person playing with them seemed to be wearing the same clothes as the one you played with yesterday."
“Hehe, you’re worthy of being my grandma. I really can’t hide it from you.” Qiao Jingjing said coquettishly.
"I didn't expect that our Jingjing actually has a boyfriend. Do you have a photo of him?" Qiao Jingjing's grandmother asked curiously.
There was no way, she knew her daughter's personality, her daughter would take the initiative to contact the other party, which meant that she had already recognized the other party. That meant that the boy was not bad, after all, he was her precious granddaughter's boyfriend, so the grandmother was also a little curious.
“Yes!” Qiao Jingjing took out her cell phone and found a group photo of everyone when Xingxin was founded.
There are only two men in the photo, and the one that Qiao Jingjing is hugging her arms is naturally Xiao Nai.
Not to mention, when Xiao Nai and Qiao Jingjing stand together, they really do look like a perfect match, as if they were made for each other.
Meanwhile, in Glory, Qiao Jingjing and Mu Cheng were also in contact with Xiao Nai.
Xiao Nai was still a little embarrassed around people he didn't know well, mainly because he didn't know what to talk about.
Deciding to be more professional, Xiao Nai took the two of them to play the game directly, and based on their performance, he recommended their future job transfers and suitable playing methods.
After completing several dungeons, Xiao Nai has explained the basic knowledge of Glory and the routes suitable for them in an easy-to-understand way.
"Thank you, little brother. I'm bothering you during the New Year." Qiao's mother said to Xiao Nai. During this period of contact, she found that Xiao Nai was a very patient young man. Even if she made mistakes repeatedly, he just guided her.
"It's okay. I'm almost level 50, and I might go directly to the God's Realm by then. The chances of coming down again should be very limited. But you don't have to worry. Your master is very capable of picking cotton with his hands and will guide you through the novice period. You have all joined the Xingxin Guild. In the future, you should submit the materials you obtain and unsuitable equipment to the guild. I will give you a higher proportion of contribution points. At least I can ensure that your weapons are all purple quality, and you can also have extra contribution points to exchange for some equipment. This will make it easier to open up the land." Xiao Nai said.
After all, he is Qiao Jingjing's apprentice, so the benefits will naturally be better, but after all, it is an online game, and Xiao Nai can't really give a lot of contribution points directly. "God's Domain, that's not right, didn't you say before that it was a task suitable for level 70?" Qiao's father asked curiously.
"It depends on the person. The challenge mission of the God's Realm can be accepted at level 50, but the monster level is 70, so theoretically as long as you can jump 20 levels to kill monsters, then entering the God's Realm at level 50 will not be a problem." Xiao Nai said.
The Qiaos were all surprised. After all, they were leveling up in an area five levels higher than theirs, led by Xiao Nai. But they had already made up for the five-level gap by relying on healing. Could the twenty-level gap really be made up by operations?
"But why? Can't you wait until you reach level 70? And it will be easier. Why are you in such a hurry to go to the Realm of God? Aren't you going with Master Qiao?" Mother Qiao noticed the problem and asked.
"There's no other way. Our captain can't level up in the ordinary area after reaching level 50 and can only go to the God's Realm. As the deputy captain, I can't just leave him there alone. After all, we are a professional team, and it's inevitable that we'll be targeted by major guilds. Someone has to go and help him and keep an eye on what's behind him." Xiao Nai said helplessly.
As a result, these words happened to be heard by Qiao Jingjing who had just returned from digging bamboo shoots. Qiao Jingjing felt terrible instantly. It turned out that Ye Xiu was indeed her biggest enemy!
Qiao Jingjing snorted in jealousy.
She had never experienced such a helpless look or such a doting tone...
Qiao Jingjing suddenly realized that Xiao Nai seemed too gentle in front of her. He had always been that gentle person. Suddenly, she became a little curious about what Xiao Nai would be like when he became angry and domineering.
Seeing his daughter's behavior, Qiao's father obviously misunderstood and thought Xiao Nai had someone else outside. Are you kidding? His daughter is with you, and you are still hanging on. Do you think Qiao is not good enough?
In comparison, Qiao's mother was much calmer. For some reason, she felt that there was some misunderstanding and couldn't help asking, "Yixiao Naihe, is our master your girlfriend?"
"Yes!" Xiao Nai admitted directly. After all, the other party didn't know that this was Qiao Jingjing's account. In Glory, he could naturally admit these things boldly.
"So what's the situation with the captain you just mentioned?" Father Qiao also sent a message to ask.
Xiao Nai: “…”
"Uh... I just used him... right... What does this have to do with Mianhua being my girlfriend?" Xiao Nai said speechlessly. Are even the older generations' thoughts so jumpy now?
This time it was the turn of Qiao's father and mother to be deceived. If your relationship is normal, then why are you angry, daughter?
Now it was Qiao Jingjing's turn to be depressed. She couldn't say that she was jealous because Ye Xiu was with Xiao Nai every day.
But whose boyfriend can be so compatible with another man? They have only known each other for two months, but their cooperation is better than Mu Cheng who has been cooperating with Ye Xiu for so many years. What do they want to do?
What? They were all accidents. You are the true love.
"It's great to be young. I heard our master said that you were the one who taught her gaming skills? Then how did you and the master get to know each other?" asked Qiao's mother.
"Actually, we were classmates before, but we lost contact after graduating from high school. At that time, the tenth district of Glory was opened, and I happened to meet her being chased by a group of monsters while leveling up outside. There was nothing else to do at the time, so I rescued her. Later, because she was a newbie and wanted me to teach her, I also happened to need teammates to trigger the hidden boss, so I took her with me. I didn't expect that she recognized me." Xiao Nai said.
"What then?" asked Qiao's father and mother with some anticipation.
Now it was Xiao Nai's turn to not know what to say. Did your master recognize me and take me home? Then do you still want Jingjing's image?
"It's nothing. She just told me that she needed someone to teach her how to play games for work. I happened to have time so I taught her. When we met, I was amazed by your master. It was snowing, but I felt like I had experienced an eternal spring. It wasn't a spring-limited season like now, but she was spring. To be honest, I had never thought about getting married before I met her, and after I met her, I never thought of getting married with anyone else." Xiao Nai said with a smile.
Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing was really happy and even couldn't control her tears. She always thought that it was just her one-sided love before, but it turned out not to be the case. Now she realized that, in fact, when Xiao Nai gave her the equipment that he had worked so hard to research, it was already a way of expressing his feelings, but she didn't understand it at all at that time.
"Are you so sure? But I think the love of many young people nowadays seems to end in tragedy." At this time, Qiao's father said. After all, someone has to be the bad guy. When everyone is giving instructions, there will always be someone who says what if they are not together? After all, things can't always go smoothly. How will the two of them deal with each other after that?
"Brother Bu Lao, what you are talking about is marriage. There is no tragedy in love. For lovers, for spring, is autumn its tragedy?" Xiao Nai said.
"What about the ending?" Father Qiao continued to ask.
"Wait." Xiao Nai said simply.
"Then?"
"No after."
"Or, what is the result of waiting?"
“Waiting is the result.”
"Isn't that a tragedy?"
"No, it's autumn." Xiao Nai said with a smile.
"Idiot!" Qiao Jingjing said softly. (End of this chapter)
