"Why… Why?"
This question passed through Mu Wanqiu's mind. Her cheeks grew slightly hot.
"I... I don't know, I'm just asking. I don't mean anything else. Don't think too much about it, haha."
"Wanqiu, if I promise not to be too deeply bonded with the NPC girls in the game and to focus on real life—as a friend, would you be happy with this promise?" Li Dong suddenly tossed this question out in a very calm voice. In other words, he threw her a curveball.
"Uh…"
Silence.
There were more than ten seconds of silence.
Li Dong was about to type, "I'm sorry, I asked a strange question. Don't worry about it," and then blow the topic off by laughing.
"I think that a game is just a game, after all," Mu Wanqiu said. "Isn't it kind of weird to find a partner in the game, get married, and put most of one's time into the game? What do you think, Commander?" She added a grin at the end.
