Chapter 575: Chapter 322: The First Meeting of the Five Daughters
"Sis, don’t worry."
In the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Tong Jialu was holding the steering wheel, comforting Xia Yubing.
"How can I not worry? So many groups are saying he was attacked last night, left the scene through the express lane, doesn’t that mean he was seriously injured to do that?"
Xia Yubing was still shrouded in inescapable concern, "Besides, we can’t even call or message him."
She touched her belly, "What if... What if..."
Xia Yubing, now pregnant, was more sensitive and fragile than ever, with Chen Cheng’s safety affecting every nerve in her body.
This morning, the news of Chen Cheng’s attack spread like wildfire through numerous chat groups, with countless versions emerging, and some even saying he was severely injured and had been taken to hospital.
She couldn’t stop reminiscing about all the little moments they had shared together; sweet memories and worries intertwined, making her even more restless.
Tong Jialu slowed down the car, her heart beating fast, but she still said, "Don’t worry, sis. I asked Brother Xiao Hai, Brother Cheng is currently alone at home. Sister Meier has given the word, he’s not allowed to go anywhere."
"Then we need to take care of him even more, he’s injured, it must be inconvenient!"
Xia Yubing couldn’t rest until she saw Chen Cheng with her own eyes, "Xiao Lu, drive faster!"
"Okay."
Outside the window, street scenes flew by quickly, Xia Yubing looked at the overcast sky and prayed silently: "Husband, you mustn’t let anything happen to you, otherwise... what will our child and I do..."
Meanwhile, in the west wing room, Chen Cheng was leaning on an Arhat Couch playing King of Glory with Meng Wanning, Hoshino Mika, and Su Liya.
The room was equally filled with a tense atmosphere.
However, with these three girls of distinct personalities around, Chen Cheng’s time "recovering at home" didn’t seem to be so boring.
"Meng Meng, stop feeding the enemy!" Su Liya rubbed the screen anxiously, "You’ve almost died 10 times!"
"Ah? How do I play this? It’s my first time... I’m sorry..."
Meng Wanning was frantically trying to play, frowning deeply, a look of urgency on her delicate face.
She rarely played games, and was barely familiar with the rules and controls of King of Glory, so she was just pressing things randomly.
"It’s okay, take it easy," Chen Cheng comforted her with a smile, "After all, it’s just for fun."
Hoshino Mika was also playing this game for the first time, her gameplay was as confused as Meng Wanning’s.
"Mei Xiang, why did you use your flash?"
"Flash? What’s that? This yellow button?"
Chen Cheng couldn’t stop laughing, "Right, the yellow one."
"Ah, you two are really..." Su Liya ran out of words, only instructing, "Meng Meng, follow Mei Xiang! Don’t wander! Look at the mini-map, the enemy jungler is coming!"
"Ah? Jungler? Where?"
Meng Wanning’s eyes widened, staring at the mini-map on the screen, but couldn’t make head or tail of those moving icons and lines.
Hoshino Mika wasn’t any better off; although she understood Chinese, she was clueless about gaming jargon.
"What’s a jungler?" she asked, completely lost.
Cheng Cheng and Su Liya looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh.
This wasn’t just playing the game; it was more like a "game tutorial."
"Forget it, just stick with me," Chen Cheng shook his head helplessly, controlling his character to protect the heroes of Meng Wanning and Hoshino Mika.
Su Liya acted as a "commentator" on the side, constantly reminding them, "Careful! The enemy mage is coming! Mei Xiang, move away! Meng Meng, don’t charge forward!"
Meng Wanning and Hoshino Mika nodded repeatedly, trying to follow Su Liya’s directions, but still ran into trouble.
Meng Wanning carelessly rushed into the attack range of an enemy tower and got killed instantly, letting out a annoyed sigh.
"Ah? How did you die again?" an exasperated Su Liya pouted.
"Sorry... I really don’t know how..."
"It’s okay, no worries, just have fun."
"Defeat!"
Looking at the losing animation on the screen, all four of them looked up almost simultaneously; at first they were stunned, then they couldn’t help but laugh.
"Mei Xiang, what happened to you?" Su Liya wanted to win at everything, "Didn’t we play last night?"
"Ah? Li Ya, I’m really not that good."
Meng Wanning chimed in as well, "Neither am I. I usually don’t play games..."
Chen Cheng ruffled Meng Wanning’s hair, "It’s fine, winning or losing isn’t important, as long as you’re happy."
He turned to Hoshino Mika and gently asked, "Mei Xiang, are you having fun?"
Although she had lost the game, Mei Xiang’s face was brimming with a smile, "I am, very happy."
Su Liya, upset seeing the two’s display of affection, leaned into Chen Cheng’s arms, "Uncle, I’m unhappy!"
"Let’s go another round, this time we’ll win for sure!"
"Okay!"
"Or, shall we discuss what to eat for lunch?" Mei Xiang really couldn’t get into it, she counted the number of people, "The four of us..."
Meng Wanning also quickly nodded, no longer wanting to aimlessly feed the enemy in the valley, "Yes, yes, let’s discuss lunch."
Chen Cheng put his phone aside; it was initially arranged for Chen Donghai to bring back food, but now that there were four people, he couldn’t have Chen Donghai bring back portions for four.
"How about ordering takeaway hotpot?" He suggested, "Haidilao, with both spicy and non-spicy options."
Meng Wanning was touched, "Thank you, sir."
Mei Xiang and Li Ya had no objections, and Chen Cheng picked up his phone again. Just as he exited King of Glory, the access control system for the west wing room sounded.
