Give Me Another Smile

miliar in-game BGM coming from Yin Zhao-an's laptop, he opened up his friends' list and said, “Brother Zhao, give me your ID.
I'll add you.”

In response, Yin Zhao-an indifferently the four characters making up her character's ID.

As Zhao Yu was about to key in the ID, his hands suddenly froze, and his eyes glowed as he smelled the scent of gossip, asking, “Brother Zhao, is it the 'Yu' and 'An' I am thinking of?” 4887

However, Zhao Yu quickly shut his mouth when he received a cold stare from Yin Zhao-an.
Then, he quickly typed Yin Zhao-an's ID in the search bar and found a familiar face.
The face of the character shown on the screen resembled Yin Zhao-an's face a lot.
Only, the male character on screen had a sharper look and long brown hair that was spread across his back.
The character wore a baggy white robe that fluttered with the wind and carried an icy-blue zither on his back.

When Zhao Yu sent his friend request and saw it getting approved, he promptly invited Yin Zhao-an to a party and passed the party leader's position to her.

“Okay, my character's on follow,” Zhao Yu said after setting his character to follow Yin Zhao-an's character automatically.
“Do you see the quest window on the right of your screen?”

It was near evening when Tang Yu woke up, the afterglow of the setting sun pouring on her body.
When a cool breeze blew by, she couldn't help but shudder.

After tugging at the blanket that had slid down to her knees, Tang Yu picked up the book that had fallen to the floor and glanced inside the bedroom.
Even now, the two people in the room were still mashing away at their mice and keyboards.

After letting out a sigh filled with complicated emotions, Tang Yu got up and entered the room.
Then, she went to the bedside and turned on the lights, causing the two people immersed in their game to snap back to their senses.

Of the two, Zhao Yu's reaction was milder.
He simply looked at the time and exclaimed, “It's so late already?!”

Yin Zhao-an, on the other hand, had a more intense reaction.
As soon as the lights came on, she reflexively closed her laptop as if she were a child caught playing on the computer without permission.
Even though she was never one to be afraid of her parents, she somehow felt that she needed to act in such a manner.

Meanwhile, Tang Yu couldn't help but be taken aback by Yin Zhao-an's reaction.
After all, she hadn't even said anything yet.

However, Tang Yu didn't comment on the reaction, as it was a good thing that Yin Zhao-an had closed her laptop.
Instead, she moved closer to Yin Zhao-an and carefully observed the latter's face, bad memories surfacing in her mind when she saw the latter's bloodshot eyes.

Yin Zhao-an felt an inexplicable sense of guilt when Tang Yu looked at her, and she couldn't help but look away, not daring to look Tang Yu in the eye.

Zhao Yu was originally going to say goodbye before taking his leave, but he wisely chose to keep quiet when he saw the atmosphere surrounding the two girls.
He felt very much like a third wheel at this moment, so he quickly packed his laptop and fled the room.

When Zhao Yu arrived downstairs, he happened across the young nanny, who had just finished setting the dining table for dinner.
Recalling the situation upstairs, he reminded the other party, “Don't go upstairs for now.
They're busy.”

After saying so, Zhao Yu quickly slipped out of the house.

TL Notes:

[1]Yuyi Chang'an(郁倚长安): I don't really know what this means.
It's probably some kind of play on words using an idiom, but I can't find the original.
But if taken literally, the name probably means “Yu relies on An forever.”
