Chapter 31

Because she had promised Sheng Xia to play games together, the thought of having to face the camera downstairs made Feng Shaoyun both resistant and nervous. She tossed and turned at night, almost unable to sleep.

However, when she woke up the next day, the terrifying scene she had imagined did not happen.

She stood at the door of her room, looking blankly at the maids coming in and out of the next room, placing and setting up the game equipment Sheng Xia had instructed. For a moment, she didn’t understand what they were doing.

The maid who had been accompanying and taking care of her looked pleased and said, “Miss, Madam said that you actually volunteered to play games with her. Is that true?”

Feng Shaoyun’s pupils dilated in shock. “Me?”

She blinked blankly, pointing at herself with a bewildered expression. Yesterday… was it really like that?

The maid continued excitedly, “It’s rare to see you have hobbies other than painting. This is really great!”

Feng Shaoyun became more hesitant. “…?”

She had a new hobby, and she didn’t even know?

However, she was accustomed to silence, and the maid next to her kept talking excitedly, not giving her a chance to speak. So, in everyone’s eyes, Miss had tacitly agreed to this statement, and they couldn’t help but show relieved and pleased expressions.

The steward was right. Under Madam’s guidance, Miss was indeed getting better at expressing her thoughts. Now, in order to get closer to Madam, she had even developed a new hobby. How wonderful!

Feng Shaoyun: “…”

Under the scorching gaze of everyone, Miss Feng Shaoyun suddenly felt small, pitiful, and helpless, and she lowered her head.

The maid smiled and pointed to the next room, “Madam knows that you don’t like the camera, so she temporarily converted your next room into a game room. This way, you can play games online with her while being alone upstairs.”

Looking at the unfamiliar gaming equipment in the room, Feng Shaoyun, who had just felt wronged, was instantly appeased by her sister-in-law.

She tiptoed slightly, and her slightly numb black eyes showed a glimmer of light.

It turned out that her sister-in-law did not forcefully drag her downstairs but was considerate and respected her… In that case, she would forgive her for talking nonsense this time.

The corner of Feng Shaoyun’s lips quietly lifted a little.

…

Because she was playing with her younger sister-in-law who had just started playing games, it was definitely not suitable to play post-apocalyptic games right away.

So Sheng Xia boldly sent her eldest son to the side to play by himself and brought the twins who had no classes today to her side. She chose the casual game developed before, “Little Wizard’s Growth.”

Feeling isolated, Feng Jingxu naturally felt resentful and stopped playing the game that had been selected for him. He sat to the side with his arms crossed, watching Sheng Xia put on her headset and calmly teach the person on the other end how to log in to the game.

“Yes, click there.”

“Don’t worry, I haven’t started yet. We can choose the characters together.”

Seeing her unusually patient demeanor made Feng Jingxu even more unhappy for some reason. Unable to hold back, he sneered, “Are you teaching cavemen? You even need to teach such games—”

Before he could finish speaking, Sheng Xia raised her eyebrows and took off her headset. A slightly dry but familiar voice came from inside, “Im… just teaching your little aunt?”

Feng Jingxu’s displeasure had not yet subsided but it froze on his face in an instant.

“…Can’t you do it yourself, Sister-in-law?” Feng Shaoyun said

He almost choked on his mocking words when they were turned back on him. After realizing who it was, his eyes widened. “Wait, that really is little aunt? You’re actually playing games with her?”

“Yes, just choose whichever you like, and then we can enter the game.”

Ignoring the ridiculous change in her eldest son’s expression, Sheng Xia first smiled and responded to Feng Shaoyun on the other end, then pretended to be surprised, tilting her head. “Oh my, did I forget to tell Little Xu about you?”

She propped up her face and asked slowly, “Since Shaoyun hasn’t played much before, Little Xu, you shouldn’t blame me for accompanying her first, right?”

“…” Feng Jingxu’s face suddenly turned green and red, and he replied dryly, “Of course not, it’s understandable.”

Sheng Xia was simply toxic. Not only was she indulging in games herself, but she also had to involve her little aunt, and her little aunt actually agreed?

No matter what, Feng Jingxu couldn’t imagine what his little aunt would look like playing games, and he couldn’t help but shiver.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

—She must have used some means to coerce the weak and helpless little aunt!

【Hahaha, I swear, just now, the eldest son must have been jealous! Look at his displeased expression, it’s written all over his face, “I want to see who you’re playing with that you can be so gentle with” jealousy!】

【It must be said that Sheng Xia is indeed very gentle with her little sister. Even though she couldn’t log in to the game, she patiently taught her three times. If it were Feng Jingxu, he would have probably become impatient and left him aside (double standards on the scene).】

【The little sister’s voice is also very nice, but she seems to be not very talkative, and a bit hesitant. She should have a more introverted and shy personality, right?】

【I used to think that the underage top star was expressionless, but now I understand that I just didn’t find the switch to control his expressions. Look at how many times his face has changed since he came in. Next time, if he performs Sichuan face-changing, I won’t watch if it’s not him (dog’s head).】

This casual game is very easy to get started with.

Although the game had a combat system, the main content was still about nurturing the little wizards. Despite being a bit simple, it was perfect for Feng Shaoyun, who had never played games before, as well as the twins.

The two became friends and, under Sheng Xia’s guidance, Feng Shaoyun chose one of the little wizards wearing a rose on its head. She led her to learn, farm, work for money, explore… and even team up with Sheng Xia to battle.

Feng Shaoyun was initially a bit nervous but soon found herself immersed in the game.

As for the twins, who sat in Sheng Xia’s lap obediently watching them play, their eyes lit up, clearly understanding how to play. Especially when the little wizard collected pet eggs, they watched with particular seriousness, holding their breath unconsciously when the eggshells cracked. Whenever a different pet hatched, it would bring a happy smile to their faces.

During the puzzle and quiz sections that appeared during the learning process, after Sheng Xia asked a question, the two little ones would eagerly compete to answer, with an accuracy rate of up to 90%, showing that their knowledge base was actually far beyond their peers.

In fact, not just them, even the audience couldn’t help but get a bit into it.

【Help, is this game addictive? It’s obviously simple-minded, and the art style is so bizarre, but why am I so engrossed and even getting into it?】

【Watching them exchange gifts to increase their favorability, forming CP bonds as bound friends, and the little sister collecting rare pet eggs and then graciously giving them to Sheng Xia… My lips are actually uncontrollably smiling!】

【Hahaha, where does Sheng Xia find these bizarre games? I’m itching to open it. Anyone want to play together? Add me as a friend?】

【Speaking of which, those who used to criticize Sheng Xia as a stepmother, saying she was actively playing games with the kids to corrupt them, where are they now? The twins are smart and excellent, they don’t need you to worry about them.】

【Actually, I don’t see any problem. Chen Chen and Ran Ran are still young, so what’s wrong with playing games with them? They’re all just games, why differentiate between high and low, noble and humble? Are online games inferior to sandbox and building block games?】

【Speaking of sandbox, I remember the siege game they played yesterday. I can’t believe the strategies for defending the city that were thought of by the four-and-a-half-year-old kids. But it also shows how cleverly Sheng Xia teaches the kids, making them happy while also learning something. Isn’t that better than staring at them to study?】

【Are you talking about the couple who were originally playing with the kids but ended up getting so into it that they ended up fighting each other?】

It turned out that just last night, when the whole family was gathering together, the twins dragged them to play the siege game.

Thinking that the camera was still on, Feng Jingxu naturally didn’t want to. Unfortunately, his wishes were obviously not important. In the end, he was dragged to the game room, feeling utterly hopeless.

“Uncle, come quick—”

Seeing his nephew already accepting the reality with a peaceful expression, Feng Shaoyu cautiously took a step back, his expression suddenly becoming forced.

However, the twins were already waving at him, and he couldn’t bear to refuse. Seeing the situation turning unfavorable, Feng Shaoyu immediately cleverly shifted the blame to his second brother, who was pushing Sheng Xia in with a casual pace. “Uncle has played with you guys so many times already. Now that your dad is back, don’t you want him to play with you for once?”

Feng Yan had seen the game room on the first floor before, but he didn’t expect it to change so much now. Especially the looming, magnificent, and exquisitely detailed structure standing on the sand, it immediately caught his attention.

With the current abilities of the two children, it would be impossible for them to build it.

Thinking back to when he watched Sheng Xia livestreaming games during breaks at work, and how she had built the base from scratch, Feng Yan had an idea.

Sure enough, he heard Feng Shaoyu’s voice trying to persuade him to take over: “Second brother, don’t you know? We now play siege role-playing games with Chen Chen and Ran Ran every day, which can also be considered as a kind of educational parent-child game.”

“And this base town was built little by little by Sister-in-law leading us.” Feng Sanshao stood solemnly next to the town, as if he was about to give a PowerPoint presentation, “Xiao Xu is in charge of designing the moat, and the several layers of city walls were stacked up by Chen Chen and Ran Ran. And here, it contains my efforts. Now we have even developed animal ranch here, and our future plans for this place are…”

“We have developed this place so perfectly, but without your participation, wouldn’t you feel a bit regretful?” He cleared his throat and earnestly enticed, “In summary, if you want to build a relationship with Chen Chen and Ran Ran, this parent-child game is very suitable. You see, Xiao Xu and I gradually became familiar with them starting from here, right, Xiao Xu?”

Feng Jingxu immediately sat up straight, bracing himself. Even if he couldn’t escape, being able to drag someone else down was also good!

So he turned his head and looked at the man’s mysterious face, showing a malicious expression. “Yeah, you’ve been away for so long, shouldn’t you make it up to us?”

【Wow, I can even hear the uncle and nephew making calculations in Y City.】

【Calculating in high definition.】

【I’m dying from laughter at the uncle. He seems like one of those desperate salesmen who keep painting big dreams. Listening to his familiar rhetoric, I really want to laugh to death.】

【Feng: Do I look like I’m easily fooled? Why do you think I’m a sucker for your schemes? [Stare]】

Feng Yan squinted his black eyes, just about to say something, when he suddenly felt his sleeve being tugged.

He lowered his gaze slightly and saw Sheng Xia slightly tilting her exquisitely beautiful face, her delicate eyelashes trembling slightly. “Honey, don’t you want to play games with us?”
