Luoyang chuckled, brushing some hair behind her ear even though it was just her avatar. "Stuff happened. He proposed a few days ago."
A moment passed before Player One grinned widely. "No way! That's amazing! Congratulations!"
She shrugged playfully, though her cheeks had just the faintest tint of red, even in the game's color filters.
"When's the wedding?" One asked quickly. "I don't care if it's in real life or in VR—I'm showing up. Just give me a time and a place."
Qi Mistress leaned back on the couch as Baobei curled its five tails around her lap. She hesitated. The words hung in her throat for a moment longer than usual as she knew that there won't be any wedding. Then she said, voice lower than before, "We haven't decided the date yet."
One gave her a look. "Of course, there'll be one," he said with a short laugh. "He proposed because he doesn't want the baby to be born out of wedlock. It's obvious."
Luoyang stiffened.
