Chapter 250 - 95: Sunrise, a Visit to the God of Wealth Hall
The other people there noticed them but were considerate enough to keep their distance and not disturb them.
Seeing this, Shen Yanzhi let go of Jiang Li. "I’m going to the restroom."
Jiang Li looked around, confused. "There are no restrooms around here. Where are you going to go?"
Then, a thought struck her, and her face flushed bright red. She gave Shen Yanzhi a push. "Just hurry up and go!"
Shen Yanzhi shook his head with a light chuckle. "I’ll be back soon."
But saying he was going to the restroom was just an excuse for Jiang Li.
He had arranged for a wedding planning team to come over last night, all to give Jiang Li the most unique sunrise experience possible.
After meeting up with the planners, Shen Yanzhi stated his request concisely. "I hope to propose to my wife when the sun rises, so I’m counting on you all."
"It’s no trouble at all! Delivering happiness is our motto."
Shen Yanzhi nodded. "Good. You can start setting up the site, then."
He had just walked back to Jiang Li’s side when she looked up. Seeing it was Shen Yanzhi, she asked in surprise, "You’re back already? That was fast." After asking, she subconsciously glanced at a certain spot.
Shen Yanzhi raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly. "You should never call a man fast."
Jiang Li narrowed her eyes. Recalling Shen Yanzhi’s stamina, she decided it was best to keep her mouth shut.
Otherwise, she was afraid he would retaliate.
The man could be quite vengeful. If she said a single wrong word, he would immediately make her understand just what he was made of.
As a certain scene flashed through her mind, her legs pressed together slightly, and she stiffly changed the subject. "We should’ve listened to Brother Zhang and bought a tent. We could be sleeping right now."
Shen Yanzhi’s mind had been wandering into inappropriate territory, but hearing Jiang Li’s words, he immediately asked, "There’s a large rock over there. Why don’t you lean against me and get some sleep?"
As a pregnant woman, she definitely needed plenty of sleep.
If the conditions weren’t there, they had to be created.
Jiang Li shook her head. "No, it’s fine. It won’t be long now anyway."
Besides, Shen Yanzhi didn’t even have a jacket. If he just sat there, he’d freeze his butt off.
To pass the time, Jiang Li suggested, "Want to play some games?"
Shen Yanzhi didn’t answer her, instead turning to Shen Yuchu. "Yuchu, want to play?"
Shen Yuchu looked back and nodded decisively. "Sure."
Otherwise, who knew how long they’d be waiting around.
Playing games was a good way to kill time; an hour or two flew by before they knew it.
Xu Shijie and the other three were hidden in the darkness; even Jiang Li didn’t know where they were.
Just as Jiang Li unlocked her phone, she caught Sheng Mingyue standing ramrod straight out of the corner of her eye.
After a moment’s thought, she said, "Yuyu, come play with us!"
’A robot won’t get bored, but she’s still a girl,’ she thought. ’I can’t just ignore her.’
’Alright, I mostly just want to see if Sheng Mingyue, a robot with an IQ of 228, can carry the four of us.’
Sheng Mingyue nodded. "Of course, Miss Jiang."
Since Sheng Mingyue had never played before and had a new account, she couldn’t join them for ranked matches. In the end, Zhang Qiang lent his account to her.
At first, Sheng Mingyue was a bit clumsy. She picked Diao Chan to play the side lane, fed the enemy team a few kills, and even got taunted by them.
Three minutes later, however, after Sheng Mingyue had figured out how the game worked, she began to dominate.
By the six-minute mark, she had killed the enemy top-laner 10 times and destroyed two of their towers.
Jiang Li had been playing as Yao, attached to Shen Yanzhi. But seeing Sheng Mingyue’s incredible plays, she promptly ditched Shen Yanzhi to follow Sheng Mingyue instead.
They won the first match in under ten minutes.
Sheng Mingyue’s score was 19/3/8, earning her the MVP.
In the games that followed, Sheng Mingyue picked Diao Chan every time, crushing the opposition and shattering their crystal within minutes.
Even Zhou Jiawen couldn’t help but exclaim, "Oh my god, with skills like that, it’s a crime she’s not a pro gamer."
"Not only can she carry all four of us, but her plays are on another level."
"How is she a beginner?!"
Sheng Mingyue replied calmly, "You’re exaggerating."
Zhou Jiawen clicked her tongue. "See? The true masters are always humble."
After a few more games, the sky began to grow faintly white.
When the last match ended, Jiang Li was still buzzing with excitement. She turned off her phone screen and said, "No more games, or we’ll miss the sunrise."
Zhou Jiawen looked up at the sky, then glanced around and let out a small gasp. "Oh my god, where did all these people come from?!"
Zhang Qiang, the local in the group, explained, "Lots of people come here to watch the sunrise every day. Since it’s New Year’s Day, there are naturally a lot more than usual."
Zhou Jiawen blinked, confused. "Just to see the sunrise?"
Zhang Qiang explained, "There’s also a God of Wealth Temple nearby that’s said to be very responsive to prayers. Most people go there to pray to the God of Wealth after watching the sunrise."
