Chapter Ninety-Four: What Are You Doing?

The thing that had left Luo Chen with the deepest impression of Chun Hei in his previous life was the magnificent ending appended to every video. He might sometimes skip the recap at the beginning, but he never skipped the ending.

Especially after an exhilarating game commentary, when the transition was seamless, it was as refreshing as watching a Hollywood blockbuster. And the fact that he would edit footage and gather materials for a single game commentary video made him truly a creator with a conscience.

Whether it was finding suitable gameplay footage to cut and splice, or choosing an appropriate song, all of it demanded a great deal of time.

For Luo Chen, making it was naturally not that troublesome, because after having immersed himself in Chun Hei’s perspective, he remembered every detail of the commentary videos perfectly. All he needed to do was recreate the ending as it lived in his memory.

Even so, the workload was still considerable. It was not until the sky had completely darkened that Luo Chen finally finished everything.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no mistakes, Luo Chen uploaded the completed works together. There were five videos in all, so the upload naturally took quite some time. After glancing at the turtle-crawl speed, Luo Chen stopped paying attention. He had been busy for half the day; he could not stay in his room forever.

On the sofa in the living room, Dai Xinhua was drawing something on a sheet of white paper, her cheeks faintly flushed, her little face carrying a trace of conflicted expression. Close beside her, Luo Tianyi was looking on with great interest, holding more than a dozen sheets of paper while whispering softly into Dai Xinhua’s ear from time to time.

Strange. Since when had his little sister become so familiar with Dai Xinhua?

Luo Chen, who had just stepped into the living room, looked at the two girls whose actions were so intimate, puzzled. They had only known each other for a few days, and already they were this close?

Still, Luo Chen did not dwell on the matter. Perhaps the two simply got along unusually well. In any case, that was a good thing.

“Xinhua, aren’t you planning to go home tonight? It’s almost eleven already, isn’t it?”

Leaving those small matters aside, Luo Chen was more puzzled as to why Dai Xinhua was still here so late. Did her family not mind? Luo Chen remembered that Han Yinglan had been quite wary of him. She probably would never agree to letting her daughter stay overnight at a stranger’s house.

“Huh? Luo... Luo Chen?”

Startled by Luo Chen’s voice, Dai Xinhua jumped. Her hand slipped, and the drawing board fell to the floor with a crisp sound. But she quickly recovered, picked it up, and hid it behind her back, dragging the engrossed Luo Tianyi with her.

“Mm? What happened?” Luo Tianyi, only now realizing something was amiss, looked around dazedly. After seeing Luo Chen, she calmly averted her gaze and folded the drawing in her hand, tucking it into her clothes.

Dai Xinhua shot Luo Tianyi, who was pretending nothing had happened, an irritated glare. You were supposed to keep watch, and yet you found out later than I did.

“Nothing... nothing. It’s just that the manga I drew today... completely fell apart!” Dai Xinhua clearly was not good at handling scenes like this, otherwise she would not have been caught so easily back then by Luo Chen.

“Completely fell apart?” Such a blatant excuse naturally could not fool Luo Chen, but that was not the point right now. If he did not clarify the more important matter, he feared that by tomorrow Han Yinglan would be leading a group of police officers to his door. This was no joke.

“So, are you still planning to go back tonight?”

“Anyway, there’s no one at home tonight. Whether I go back or not is the same, right?” When Luo Chen brought it up, Dai Xinhua seemed a little downcast.

“Xinhua might as well just stay here all the time. There’d be no need to run back and forth, and it’d be much more convenient, wouldn’t it?” Luo Tianyi’s eyes lit up. If that were the case, wouldn’t she be able to see the manga first thing?

It was precisely because her family did not know that Luo Chen was worried. He thought it over. If Han Yinglan came back at dawn and discovered that her daughter was not at home, he would be finished.

Still, after checking the time, Luo Chen also did not feel comfortable letting the girl go back now. It was the middle of the night; anything could happen. Better to be careful.

“Xinhua, if you don’t want to go back, then stay here tonight. Do you need me to prepare a room for you?”

After some thought, Luo Chen decided to let the girl stay and asked her.

“No need, no need. Isn’t it fine if Xinhua sleeps with me?” Before Dai Xinhua could speak, Luo Tianyi took it upon herself to make the decision. Dai Xinhua glanced toward Luo Chen, then hesitantly nodded.

Though Luo Chen had doubts about whether his sister’s bed could fit three people, since Dai Xinhua had agreed, he would not object.

Still, for some reason, Luo Chen always felt as though he were helping his own sister gather a harem. Was he overthinking it?

After Luo Chen left in confusion, Dai Xinhua and Luo Tianyi finally let out a breath at the same time. Exchanging a look, Dai Xinhua asked accusingly:

“Tianyi! You said you’d keep watch for me!”

“Um... well, your drawings were just too pretty, so I got distracted. Don’t mind it.” Luo Tianyi leaned in and coaxed her.

“We nearly got caught just now. Next time, be more attentive!”

Thinking of that, Dai Xinhua still felt a lingering fear. Just now she had thought they were about to be exposed. Luckily, Luo Chen had not been focused on that.

“It’s fine. With me here, nothing will happen.” Luo Tianyi promised with great confidence, though unfortunately it gave Dai Xinhua the slightest bit of reassurance.

“Hmph... Then can you explain why these pictures also include me and A-Ling?”

Ignoring the younger girl’s repeated assurances, Dai Xinhua took out her phone and pointed at the pictures Luo Tianyi had sent her, saying with a dangerous look, “I originally only drew booklets about Luo Chen and Yan He. Now you want me to draw myself together with A-Ling too?”

If this were discovered, probably no one would be able to save her.

“As a painter, how can you only look at the surface? Who you draw is still just drawing, isn’t it? Besides, I’m in there too. Anyway, no one else will see it.” Faced with Luo Tianyi’s reasoning, Dai Xinhua had no way to refute it. Since everyone was included as material for her creation, it would not be proper to take out her own portion separately, so she had no choice but to let it go.

After all, she was the one drawing. How she drew it was still up to her, wasn’t it? Thinking of this, Dai Xinhua’s mood improved considerably. Unfortunately, Luo Tianyi had long since anticipated that.

“If you don’t draw it properly, I’ll go tell on you, you know! Hmm... Who should I tell? Sister Yan He? Luo Chen? Or A-Ling?”

At once, Dai Xinhua felt that her future was utterly dark.
