In the Glass Window, I saw my own reflection, looking shy and overly affected.
Then, as my gaze shifted upward, I caught sight of my younger brother's reflection in the Glass Window.
He stood on the other side, arms crossed over his chest, raising an eyebrow at me.
"Zhong Kui!"
Just as Han Yin finished fastening my necklace, I shouted over to him.
I hadn't realized how loud I was being, and my voice drew the attention of those around us. Quickly, I covered my mouth, apologizing while waving at my brother.
Han Yin followed the direction of my finger.
With no choice but to comply, Zhong Kui walked over reluctantly, gritting his teeth as he said, "Sister, you already have a boyfriend. Can you keep it down?"
"That doesn't matter."
I pulled on his sleeve earnestly. "We agreed last night—where's the bet?"
I had expected him to back out, but instead…
He pulled out a Red Envelope from his pocket, which he must have prepared beforehand, and tossed it to me casually.
"Here, a deal's a deal."
I fumbled to catch it and felt its unexpected thickness.
She snorted and looked up at him.
"That's so thick, it must be paper..."
Before I could finish my sentence, I froze, my words abruptly cut off.
I opened the red envelope, and inside was a vibrant sea of genuine Renminbi, not the white paper I had imagined.
Coming back to my senses, I raised my head and asked, "What's going on?"
Is this guy for real?
My brother laughed. This steel-hearted man I remembered raised an eyebrow at me and bent down to grab a piece of dessert.
"Come on, it's obvious from your brother-in-law's grand gesture. You still want to bet with me? Even a fool knows he's going to confess today."
I was taken aback, glancing down at the money in the envelope. "What about you?..."
"A red envelope for your relationship."
My brother raised an eyebrow. "Your brother-in-law is great—handsome and well-off. You've put him through a lot; I feel like we owe him something."
I touched the thick red envelope, as if discovering a path to wealth. "How about I go date a couple more people?"
"No way!"
The two gentlemen in front of me almost shouted in unison.
My brother was definitely worried about the money.
As for Han Yin...
He sat beside me, reaching out to pinch the necklace around my neck, waving it in front of my eyes. "The token of our promise has been received; you can't back out now."
I feigned a frown. "Then doesn't that mean I've lost a lot of Red Envelopes..."
Han Yin handed me his phone, whispering, "The password is 9549. Your birthday is the Payment Password. You can transfer any amount from the card; consider it compensation for the Red Envelopes."
My birthday?
I raised an eyebrow, appreciating this little detail.
But...
I tilted my head to look at him. "What does 9549 mean?"
Han Yin just smiled and remained silent, insisting that I guess for myself.
I'm a bit stubborn; once he challenged me to guess, that string of numbers occupied my mind completely. It felt like a Decryption Game as I pondered over it all afternoon, completely distracted during dinner and the movie.
During this time, Han Yin tried several times to solve the riddle but was stopped by me each time.
Until...
After our date ended, Han Yin walked me home. That night, we teamed up for some gaming.
Since it was a match, character selection was quite casual. Han Yin and I instinctively chose our original characters:
I was Zhong Kui, and he was Han Xin.
However, as the game was loading, I suddenly realized something, and for a moment, my headset was filled with my shouting:
"So, 9549 is Zhong Kui and Han Xin?"
The signal wasn't great, and after two seconds, I finally heard Han Yin's low chuckle in my ear:
"That's right."
The mystery was finally solved, and I felt a wave of relief wash over me as the game began.
But...
This time, I didn't hook anyone like Gao Jianli or Kai Wang. I merely pulled in a surviving Bian Que during a team fight, and then the enemy unleashed a big move that wiped out our four low-health players.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment until Han Yin's voice broke the quiet through the headset.
"We were just about to take down the tower; your hook was spot on, dear."
Two seconds later, the king's weak voice piped up: "I don't want to."
But both Han Yin and I shot back at the same time, "No, you do!"
The headset echoed with the king's whiny cries, and eventually, my brother got annoyed by the whining and said softly, "Mage, come get blue."
Immediately, the king's tone turned gentle as he maneuvered his Diao Chan gracefully into the jungle. "Coming, little brother."
When that game ended, Han Yin sent me a couple avatar set—Q version—where he was Han Xin and I was Zhong Kui.
But I wasn't really keen on changing.
"How about you get me a Lu Ban avatar? Actually, I'm really good at Lu Ban."
Han Yin replied quickly, "I saw you playing Lu Ban yesterday, 1-7."
...I immediately changed my avatar.
I thought everything was over, but the next day, Date, Han Yin's phone suddenly rang.
The identity of the caller wasn't the main point; the main point was...
His ringtone was particularly ridiculous: "Once Cobra accepts his own weakness, I become invincible."
"What happened? What happened? What happened?"
Me: ...
What's the best way to annoy my boyfriend? Waiting for a response, it's quite urgent...
