Chapter 44 - PK Match Arena
In the living room, Song Xing Xing sat on the sofa looking slightly in a daze.
At her side, her cat, Mr. Fluffball was playing with the hem of her skirt. However, Song Xing Xing did not seem to notice the cat's hyperactive behavior.
Her cheek puffed up. Her arms were hugging the pillow tightly and her face buried in the pillow. One would think that she was having a big problem with the way she kept on sighing.
As if realizing what she was doing, Song Xing Xing pulled away from the pillow and threw it away to another side. She stared at the pillow on the floor and slammed her body on the sofa. "Song Xing Xing! What on earth are you thinking about?"
In the past few days, she has been thinking about the incident in the mall where she had almost got into trouble with the reporters.
No. That was not what's in her mind.
In the past few days, the thing that kept haunting her mind was the part where President Lu Xun was hugging her.
Until this time, she could almost imagine the warm temperature of his body and his fresh smell. It seemed that she was unable to get them out of her mind.
She kept on thinking that hugging that pillow was the same as hugging a person.
It was so frustrating!
"Song Xing Xing, you need to stop thinking. It was just a tactic to block you from the reporter's gaze. There was no meaning in that."
That was the first time that someone from the opposite gender had hugged her. Other than her family members, no one would do such things to her. Song Xing Xing did not think that it would influence her that much that it was slightly messing up with her head.
Just the thought of that incident would make her heartbeat accelerated. Her cheek started to feel hot.
Song Xing Xing banged her head on the sofa a few times. When that move did not work to dispel some thoughts in her head, she started to roll around in frustration. However, a few seconds later, Song Xing Xing fell on the floor.
She lay on the floor and stared at the ceiling. The pain made her forget about her earlier thoughts.
At this time, Mr. Fluffball jumped on her body and stood on her chest. The cat stared back at his master as if wondering what was she doing on the floor.
"Mr. Fluffball, you're too heavy. Get off me."
"Meow." The cat blinked and sat down.
Seeing this scene, Song Xing Xing started to laugh. This cat was really disobedient!
Her phone at the side started to ring. Song Xing Xing picked up her cat and put him aside. She looked at the phone screen and realized that she had set an alarm.
"Oh god! I almost forgot!"
It was the weekend and she was supposed to log in to her games and joined the others in the PK match arena.
Fortunately, she had set up her alarms. If she had forgotten about this matter, she would only bring trouble to her team members.
When she logged in to the game, there were five minutes left before the match started. Song Xing Xing put on her earphone and the music from the game could be heard. She closed all the popped-up advertisements and reminders before she finally looked at the game screen.
Just then, her teammate, Luna invited her to join the team.
As soon as she was in the team, Song Xing Xing looked at the list of her teammates. There was Shadow and Peanut Butter Jelly in their team. Seeing General Huo's name in their team, Song Xing Xing was surprised.
General Huo: Yo! Little Star, I thought that you were not going to make it tonight.
Not Your Little Star: How can it be? I still need around three hundred stones to raise my might again. How can I miss this event? Celebrity Huo, you have time to play games? I thought that you would be busy with your schedule.
General Huo: Stop talking. I'm hiding from my manager in the bathroom to play games with you guys. Little Star, you should be honored.
Song Xing Xing sent him an eye-rolling emoji.
Luna: Alright guys, we're going in. Let's win this!
Seeing that there were two minutes left before the PK match begin, General Huo threw some money and the team's might increased by three percent.
The team thanked their super-rich friend and entered the arena. The moment the match began, there was a lot of shouting and cursing.
Song Xing Xing did her best to support her teammates as the healer.
Fortunately, not a lot of the big players in the game logged into the game this time. They were able to raise their rank in the PK arena.
Song Xing Xing looked at her inventory and smiled happily at the thought that she was going to increase her might. Then, she will be able to unlock a new costume!
The message icon blinked. Song Xing Xing clicked at the icon and saw that it was General Huo.
General Huo: Did you have enough stones to upgrade?
Not Your Little Star: I should have enough if I do my daily for three days. Are you still hiding in the toilet? Celebrity Huo, are you not afraid that the others are going to think that you had constipation? Your image as an idol would be ruined like this.
General Huo: Little Star, I might not be able to login into the game next week. Don't miss me that much, alright?
Not Your Little Star: Un. I know. I heard that you were going to the countryside to film that variety show.
There was a brief pause between them before Huo Yun Chen typed again.
General Huo: How did you know about the location?
Song Xing Xing gasped. She had momentarily forgotten that she was not supposed to know about his schedule. However, she was part of the post-production team and knew about their next shooting location.
Not Your Little Star: I heard it from a friend… She's a big fan of yours.
General Huo: Then, what about you? Are you not a fan of mine?
Song Xing Xing did not know how to answer this. Although she had heard about his name before, she could not be considered a fan.
Not Your Little Star: I watched your variety show. Celebrity Huo, you're looking good in this show. I'll be supporting you.
In another location, Huo Yun Chen stared at the message on his phone for a long time.. After a while, the corner of his lips tilted up into a smile.
