Tian Tian felt very emotional, as if she might hang up at any moment.
Moreover, knowing Tian Tian as he did, if she hung up, he might never be able to reach her again, and he was anxious.
"Tian Tian, I know Lu Huaijin is pursuing you, and I know I have no right to interfere with you seeking happiness, but I don't think you two are a good match."
"I know you haven't let me go, and I haven't let you go either. I've been working very, very hard, planning for our future. Give me a little more time, and I'll come find you. Please wait for me a little longer, okay?"
Another burst of fireworks "popped" in Tian Tian's heart and exploded in the sky.
She loved Chen Dongyang, loved him dearly, and had never truly let him go at any moment.
So, when Dongyang called proactively and said he was still working towards their future, she was ecstatic.
If they weren't separated by thousands of miles right now, and were truly close, she felt she wouldn't be able to control herself and would rush to him immediately.
In the past, Tian Tian thought she was a very rational and self-controlled person, understanding all the principles in the world and being clearer than anyone else when facing problems.
But when it came to Chen Dongyang, her selfish nature was exposed so undeniably.
She knew it was wrong to compete with Zeng Hui, that it was immoral, but she just couldn't be selfless or magnanimous.
As long as Chen Dongyang sent her even a little signal, even if she fell into the same trap a hundred times, she felt she would have no regrets.
But she didn't want to admit her weakness so quickly.
She needed to be sure if Chen Dongyang was truly resolute this time.
"Do you know what you're saying, Chen Dongyang? Didn't we agree to break up? What about Zeng Hui?"
Wushuang, who was engrossed in her game, heard Chen Dongyang's name and immediately looked over.
Seeing Tian Tian on the phone with a complex expression, the clever Wushuang immediately guessed something.
She stopped playing the game and scurried over to Tian Tian like a mouse.
Chen Dongyang paused slightly on the other end of the line.
"You don't need to worry about anything, or do anything. Just wait for me patiently."
"Consider it my plea, Tian Tian. Give me some more time, and I promise I'll handle everything and give you a perfect answer. Promise me you'll only wait for me wholeheartedly and not worry about anything else, okay?"
Tian Tian's hands trembled; in fact, her whole body was trembling.
She didn't know if she should agree to him so quickly.
She felt that if she agreed, she would become a bad person again, a bad person who knowingly offended, repeatedly, and deliberately hurt Zeng Hui.
She loved Chen Dongyang, but she also didn't want to become someone without principles. She was so conflicted.
Wushuang quietly took her hand at this moment, looked at her with a determined gaze, and nodded.
Tian Tian was surprised.
Wushuang actually agreed to her being with Chen Dongyang?
She had a strong opinion about Zeng Hui, and as her best friend, she should have tried to dissuade her from doing something so irrational.
"I... don't force me. It's too sudden, Chen Dongyang. Let me think about it."
At this critical moment, she was still speaking insincerely.
Wushuang, anxious, snatched the phone from her.
"Chen Dongyang, is that you? This is Zhu Wushuang."
Chen Dongyang, unsettled by Tian Tian's answer and contemplating flying over to explain in person, heard Wushuang's voice.
His heart skipped a beat, fearing Wushuang would say something to oppose them. Instead, she said:
"I don't even want to talk about you. What kind of job is this? You only call her after two months, what were you doing before?"
"No matter what you've been busy with, if you can't let her go, then hurry up and come find her!"
"Do you know you're killing Tian Tian? Although she stays with me every day, seems to have food and drink and doesn't care, her smiles have never been truly from the heart."
"She can't sleep at night, and when she finally falls asleep, she murmurs your name. I..."
Tian Tian felt utterly humiliated.
She thought she had disguised herself well enough, but she didn't expect Wushuang to observe so clearly and even mention that she called Chen Dongyang's name in her sleep...
Unable to listen any longer, she jumped up from the sofa to snatch the phone back. Wushuang took a couple of steps forward and continued:
"Anyway, I've said what I needed to say. If you don't act soon, even the gods can't help you. There are plenty of handsome guys chasing her..."
Tian Tian rushed over and snatched the phone back. Just as she was about to explain to Chen Dongyang that it wasn't as exaggerated as she said, Chen Dongyang spoke.
"Do you know about JC Escape?"
Tian Tian said yes: "When I saw the name of the game studio, I guessed it was a collaboration between you and Lu Huaijin."
"Good, download it. Do as I say."
"What are you going to do? Teach me to play games?"
"Don't ask so many questions for now. I'll be waiting. Download it now."
Wushuang chimed in from the side: "She already downloaded it! She's been playing all day. Just say what you need to say!"
Chen Dongyang said: "Log in, select Sage Mode, and enter the communication platform. Click on the first room, enter the room password, which is a combination of our birthdays."
Tian Tian's phone was in a call, so she couldn't operate it. Wushuang followed Chen Dongyang's instructions step by step.
She thought this module was a platform for young men and women who loved gaming to make friends, where they could chat through random matching, but she didn't expect it to be used like this.
Tian Tian took back her phone and entered their birthdays.
"And then?"
Chen Dongyang said: "Wait for me a moment, I'm logging in. This room is specially reserved for us. Only we can log in, and it's synchronized 24 hours a day. Hang up the phone, connect the call, and let's chat here."
Wow, they actually reserved a room in the game specifically for them to date?
So what if you can develop games!
Just now, she felt they were a pair of ill-fated lovers, but now Wushuang felt like a single person who had been kicked aside for no reason.
It was too much!
Tian Tian used Wushuang's phone, and since Wushuang had nothing to play, Tian Tian gave her her own phone.
Wushuang logged into the game again, but before leaving, she seemed to have discovered something new.
"I've always wondered what this game name meant, why it's called JC Escape. Since you developed it, that explains it!"
"Chen Dongyang, isn't it the initials of your names? Jiang, Chen, right?"
Chen Dongyang had already entered the room, and a low, magnetic chuckle came from his phone.
"Yes."
Wushuang rolled her eyes: "I've been blind to even think about playing matchmaker for you two. It was completely unnecessary! Alright, you two chat, I'm leaving."
Wushuang left, and Tian Tian sat alone on the sofa, holding her phone, looking at the simulated male animated character kneeling before her on the screen.
Chen Dongyang provided the voice for the character.
"I'm sorry for not contacting you for so long. I'm heartless. Hit me."
