"I remember you used to hate it when people became managers and thought they were so superior, always showing off, forming cliques, arguing, and pushing others out, so you got rid of them all. When did you get new managers? Are they reliable?"
Sheng Kuang ignored Lan Bowen's barrage of rapid-fire questions and turned to look aside.
The young lady on the third floor, who had been quietly eating beside him moments ago, had vanished. Her spot was now empty.
He paused for two seconds, swallowed the words that had reached his lips, and asked, "Where is she?"
"Who? Lin Meimei?" Chen Jing, while picking up dishes, said casually, "She probably left after eating. She's been like this these past two days – arriving the latest, eating the fastest, and leaving the earliest…"
Chen Jing thought to himself that his words were quite rhyming and couldn't help but add, "Probably afraid of washing dishes."
Chen Jing was the most talkative. After replying to Sheng Kuang, he turned to Lan Bowen and said, "It's the managers added recently, added in the livestream room, it's Lin Meimei."
"Lin Jing, that's good. I'll ask her tonight if she has time to help guard the livestream room." Lan Bowen noticed Sheng Kuang hadn't responded for a while. "Sheng Kuang?"
Sheng Kuang let out a questioning sound, quickly came to his senses, and gave a low "Mm," glancing again at the empty chair beside him.
After dinner, Sheng Kuang returned to his bedroom and saw two new messages on his phone.
Xiao Jing Jiang: I've been honored. Jiang Zui told me it was you.
Xiao Jing Jiang: Thank you.
Sheng Kuang lowered his eyelids and started typing.
He wanted to ask, "Do you have time tonight? Can you help guard the livestream room?" but he stopped halfway through typing.
He thought for a moment, then long-pressed the delete key to clear the dialog box and retyped a few words.
The hero Yao has a passive ability called 'Deer Spirit,' which turns her into a small deer, granting immunity to crowd control and damage.
Lin Jing glanced at the passive indicator below and quietly typed.
[All] Xiao Jing Jing Jing Jiang (Yao): Yes.
Sheng Kuang didn't speak further. Li Bai drew a circle on the ground.
Lin Jing's Yao instantly transformed into a transparent small deer.
[All] yLs·miracle (Li Bai): Let's go home.
