Worries

"Little Cutie, don't worry too much. Get some sleep. Look, Yun Bao is already sleeping like a dead pig."

In Shanhe Club's dormitory room one.

Yun Xiang pointed at Yun Bao snoring in the lower bunk and said to Zhang Mengmeng, who was still awake.

"Mm, I'll sleep soon. Sister Yun, you sleep first."

Although Zhang Mengmeng tried to hide her worries in her tone, how could Yun Xiang not hear them?

"Worrying won't help. This update will take three days. After three days, maybe Skeleton God will return. Once he comes back, this Mirage Tower is nothing."

Hearing this, Zhang Mengmeng pulled up her blanket and forced a smile, "I know... actually... I'm not worried about Luo Cloud City..."

"Not Luo Cloud City?" Yun Xiang was slightly confused. "If you're not worried about Luo Cloud City, what are you worried about, Mengmeng? Skeleton God?"

"Mm."

Zhang Mengmeng absent-mindedly nodded, her delicate brows still carrying unshakeable worry.

"What's there to worry about with Skeleton God? Mengmeng, you're overthinking. Skeleton God is much stronger than Master. What could happen to him?"

"Mm... maybe I'm thinking too much. Sister Yun, let's turn off the lights. Keeping them on is bad for Yun Bao."

"You better really sleep, don't lie to me." Yun Xiang stared at Zhang Mengmeng, also in the upper bunk, with a slightly warning tone.

"I know."

Zhang Mengmeng nodded heavily.

Click.

The bright white light suddenly went out. Zhang Mengmeng, hiding under her blanket, breathed a sigh of relief.

She never liked troubling others or having others worry about her.

Because it made her feel guilty.

Now that Yun Xiang was asleep, she felt much more relaxed.

But in her heart, she continued worrying about Jiang Cheng.

Luo Cloud City was hard-won for Jiang Cheng, true, but compared to his safety, what did one city matter?

Zhang Mengmeng understood clearly.

Although Jiang Cheng had escaped his status as her summoned creature, he was ultimately summoned by her as a player.

Zhang Mengmeng wasn't sure how this update would affect him, and didn't dare imagine - if Jiang Cheng was also kicked offline without a real identity, where would he go?

Zhang Mengmeng tossed and turned sleeplessly, yet she didn't move about in bed.

She feared drawing Yun Xiang's attention again.

This night, Zhang Mengmeng spent awake with these anxious feelings, eyes wide open.

Morning.

A ray of sunlight fell by the bedside. Yun Xiang, habitually an early riser, was already getting dressed and preparing to wash up.

However, she was surprised to find Zhang Mengmeng's bed empty.

She didn't think much of it, assuming Zhang Mengmeng couldn't sleep and went to wash up early.

"Yun Bao, Yun Bao, wake up."

Yun Xiang got down and pinched Yun Bao's cheek, still snoring, trying to wake her.

"Mm... Sister Yun, let me sleep a bit longer. You're so annoying, òᆺó."

Yun Bao didn't open her sleepy eyes, just patted Yun Xiang's hand and pulled her Peppa Pig blanket over her face.

"Get up quickly, Renegade Desperado came to our club."

Seeing she couldn't get Yun Bao up, Yun Xiang had to use her trump card.

"What Renegade Desper... ah..." Yun Bao suddenly jolted awake, throwing off the blanket and jumping out bare-bodied.

"Really really really? Where is he? Oh no oh no, do I look really ugly like this?"

Yun Bao covered her pretty face, asking Yun Xiang dramatically, making her laugh.

"Look at you, why such a big reaction? Hurry and get dressed. If someone comes in, you'll be embarrassed."

"Bleh bleh bleh... this is our big sister's room. Who dares barge in? Aren't they afraid you'll dismember them?"

Yun Bao glanced dismissively at Yun Xiang's certain part, then looked at her own, standing with hands on her waist unconcerned. "Besides, I don't have anything worth seeing. If they want to look, they'd look at Sister Yun."

"Uh... go go go, who sleeps naked like you? Get dressed quickly. I need to prepare for our guest. What I said wasn't a lie."

Yun Xiang said mysteriously, "Today not only your sloppy uncle will come, but several people you really want to see will come too."

"Ah... he's really coming? I thought Sister Yun was joking. Hmph, stinky uncle didn't even tell me. So annoying!"

Yun Bao pouted, looking very unhappy.

But her hands moved quickly, running to her delicate wardrobe to pick clothes.

From the wardrobe, she took a little princess dress, held it against herself and compared.

"Sister Yun, do you think this looks good on me?"

"Heh... who was just acting all grumpy? How are you picking clothes already?"

Yun Xiang smiled knowingly, teasing her.

"Oh, stop laughing at me! Just tell me."

"Mm." Seeing her like this, Yun Xiang crossed her arms and smiled. "Yun Bao, I think... uncles usually prefer JK uniforms."
