The Baby I Lost Is Actually with My Ex-Husband!-Chapter 852: That’s a King of Fighters Queen!

Chapter 852: Chapter 852: That’s a King of Fighters Queen!

Rong Xiaoyi glanced at her: "I’m afraid he’ll leave... I want to go and see if he’s gone..."

Li Yufei nodded: "Alright, I’ll take you there. You shouldn’t go out alone, you know your brother worries about you. And as for me, I promised him that I’d take good care of you."

Rong Xiaoyi suddenly asked, "Yufei... do you genuinely want to be good to me, or is it just because you promised my brother?"

Li Yufei laughed and cried at the same time: "I’ve always seen you as half a daughter."

Rong Xiaoyi murmured, "Really? Do you never think of me as a burden that my brother brought to you?"

Li Yufei, slightly annoyed, said, "Who puts these thoughts in your head? Why would you ask such a thing? I’ve never seen you as anyone’s burden. You’re family to me, just without the blood ties."

Rong Xiaoyi nodded and didn’t speak anymore.

Li Yufei understood very well.

Rong Xiaoyi is too sensitive.

She has always been sensitive since she was a child.

Even when she was little, Rong Xiaoyi was sensible and obedient, and yet the more sensible a child is, the more sensitive they tend to be.

Li Yufei could understand her sensitivity, but was also afraid of her high sensitivity.

High sensitivity means that one can always see the negative side of things.

But the regrets and unhappiness in life will always outweigh the happiness.

Li Yufei said patiently, "If you want to find him, I’ll go with you, okay?"

Rong Xiaoyi nodded.

...

Interstellar Legend.

A game room decorated in a cyberpunk style.

Ye Ling exchanged 100 game coins and returned to the motorcycle racing section.

Huo Zijin was riding a motorcycle, having just finished a race.

The motorcycle gleamed with a flashy glow, very cool.

On the big screen, the camera smoothly covered the turns.

Huo Zijin bent low, truly exuding the vibe of a dashing and cool female racer.

Ye Ling inserted a few coins and mounted a motorcycle next to hers, selecting a race track.

Huo Zijin finished first, and the "1st" place on the screen was conspicuously highlighted.

Ye Ling said, "I still have three laps; you go see if there’s anything else you’d like to play."

Huo Zijin: "Alright."

She casually took the game coins Ye Ling exchanged, wandering idly around the game room.

Game halls in big cities are different from those in small townships.

Various dazzling electronic toys make one’s head spin.

And thinking back to Yan City’s game hall, apart from the stuffed toy claw machines filled with poorly made plushies, the only remaining things were rows of arcades.

Huo Zijin walked around a few corners and suddenly saw a familiar arcade game.

Currently, in front of the rows of arcade machines, it was deserted, with just one person sitting there.

She glanced sideways and a look of surprise showed in her eyes.

That silhouette seemed a bit familiar. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Huo Zijin walked over with her hands behind her back, tilting her head slightly.

As her hair playfully fell beside her face, she uttered, "Chu Yunhang?"

Chu Yunhang looked over at the sound.

A flash of white on the screen displayed the letters "K.O."

He was a bit disoriented upon seeing Huo Zijin: "Have we... met somewhere before?"

Huo Zijin found it amusing: "Are you serious or just pretending?"

Chu Yunhang said, "It seems like we have, but I can’t quite remember."

He seemed a bit absent-minded and didn’t bother to think about where they might have met.

Huo Zijin sat down at another spot: "My brother is Lin Jinmo. The day you and Xiaoyi returned to the country, he was the one who picked you up at the airport."

"Oh!"

Chu Yunhang suddenly realized: "Huo Zijin, is that your name?"

Huo Zijin nodded: "Yeah."

Chu Yunhang said, "I didn’t expect you to sit next to me and talk."

He looked at the screen again and selected a few characters: "Didn’t your brother tell you to stay away from me?"

Huo Zijin: "Why?"

Chu Yunhang: "They think I’m not a good guy. Haven’t you heard them say that?"

Huo Zijin replied, "They’re busy."

Chu Yunhang said, "Then stay away from me. I’m not a good guy."

Huo Zijin: "In what way are you a bad guy?"

Chu Yunhang: "In every way."

Huo Zijin: "From my experience, people who claim to be bad usually aren’t."

As she spoke, she inserted three coins into Chu Yunhang’s machine and pressed the 2P player’s start button.

Soon, the game restarted.

Huo Zijin joined the battle.

Chu Yunhang was playing King of Fighters ’97.

Huo Zijin had also played this game when she was very young.

However, not many people play this game anymore.

Chu Yunhang glanced at her but didn’t say anything. After they each selected their characters, they went straight into battle mode.

He considered himself a master at King of Fighters, so he held back a bit.

Unexpectedly...

Huo Zijin, controlling Bashen An, unleashed a seamless combo, knocking out his Buzhi Huowu in less than ten seconds.

Chu Yunhang was dumbfounded: "How is this possible?"

He looked at Huo Zijin, scrutinizing her in disbelief: "Beginner’s luck?"

How could a girl be this good at King of Fighters?

Could she have been button-mashing?

But considering the smoothness of her combos, it didn’t seem like it.

Chu Yunhang asked, "Do you know who you’re using?"

Huo Zijin: "The redhead guy, right? Bashen An, I think?"

Chu Yunhang: "... And do you know who I’m using?"

Huo Zijin: "The fan girl."

Chu Yunhang: "... And my next character?"

Huo Zijin: "The bun man."

She rarely pays attention to these character names.

Even though she doesn’t focus on their names, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s the three-time champion of the King of Fighters tournament at Yan City’s game hall.

Nothing special, just familiar with the mechanics.

The main reason was the prize money for the tournament; while it wasn’t overly generous, it still amounted to a thousand or two thousand bucks!

Chu Yunhang immediately retorted, "I was just going easy on you earlier. This time, I won’t."

Huo Zijin lazily raised an eyebrow: "Oh."

In the second round, Chu Yunhang got serious.

With various dodging skills, he danced for over ten seconds, only to be KO’d.

Chu Yunhang was a bit frustrated: "Are you serious?"

Huo Zijin: "Very serious."

Chu Yunhang: "No way... Are you really this good at King of Fighters?"

Huo Zijin: "Hmm..."

Chu Yunhang: "Do you memorize the move lists? I’ve forgotten a lot of mine."

Huo Zijin: "I don’t memorize them, just rely on muscle memory."

Chu Yunhang suddenly collapsed on the counter in despair.

Darn it, his pride was wounded.

After pondering for a moment, he couldn’t accept it.

"One more round!"

Chu Yunhang reached into his pocket but found no game coins left.

Huo Zijin, as if seeing through his embarrassment, threw in three more coins: "Don’t worry, I have plenty."

Chu Yunhang: "I won’t lose to you again."

Huo Zijin: "What if you do lose?"

Chu Yunhang, fixated on defeating her, barely considered that: "You decide!"

Ten seconds later—

K.O!

Chu Yunhang stared dryly at the screen where Bashen An lay defeated, blinking blankly.

Huo Zijin also stared at the screen: "Is it best of one?"
