Marry the NPC with Money, Wife Comes Knocking - Chapter 122

Chapter 122

Ye Susheng took Hua Suihe’s words to heart. She didn’t really know what an online relationship was, so she asked somewhat naively, “Hua Hua, we are in an online relationship?”

“Of course we are. Think about it-during the time we first met, we didn’t see each other for a long time, right?”

Ye Susheng recalled that she indeed couldn’t see Hua Hua back then and nodded in agreement. “Then we’ve been in an online relationship for half a year.”

Fang Ge couldn’t hear Ye Susheng, so from her perspective, it looked like Hua Suihe was talking to herself. She muttered softly, “Watching you two have a conversation like this is still pretty creepy…”

“Is it?” From Hua Suihe’s perspective, Ye Susheng was physically there and looked normal. She had never seen anyone else talking to thin air in public before, so the situation felt quite novel to her.

As they spoke, a server placed their dishes on the table and reminded them that they could pick out their preferred dipping sauces. Only then did they realize they hadn’t gotten any yet.

Considering that Ye Susheng was currently an invisible person, Hua Suihe didn’t let her go. “You sit here and wait. I’ll get yours for you-no spice, right?”

Ye Susheng hesitated for a moment before nodding obediently, watching her get up to prepare the sauces.

Fang Ge also stood up and followed Hua Suihe to the condiment station.

“Sister Ah He.”

A familiar female voice drifted over. Fang Ge looked over first, her eyes unable to hide her shock. That form of address was a bit intimate-wouldn’t Ye Susheng be jealous if she heard it?

Hua Suihe heard it too and turned her gaze to the side. A girl wearing a simple, elegant denim dress was already standing beside her.

“Sister Ah He, it really is you. What a coincidence!” Xia Moyi’s tone was joyful, her face beaming with smiles. “Are you here for dinner with a friend?”

Meeting a friend, Hua Suihe showed a bit of warmth as well. “Yes, are you here to eat too?”

Xia Moyi had been persistently chatting with Hua Suihe on WeChat. Even though it was only a greeting or two every day, it still counted as a back-and-forth interaction.

“Mm-hmm, I have an appointment.” Yu Yan had brought another friend to invite her out, but right now, Xia Moyi wanted to stay with her sister. Even though they lived close to each other, they rarely had the chance to actually meet.

“Sister Ah He, and this friend… how many of you are here? Where are you sitting?”

Fang Ge held up three fingers to answer first. “Three people.” She then pointed at Hua Suihe. “And her partner.”

Ye Susheng was now clinging to Hua Suihe’s arm. She had seen this annoying, unkillable human from a distance. How could they run into her even while eating? What rotten luck.

Ye Susheng knew about Xia Moyi’s special circumstances. After all, Hua Hua was afraid she would get jealous and had told her every little detail. But Ye Susheng still hated her; Hua Hua was too nice to her.

“Hua Hua, what does she want? Does she want to join our table?”

Hua Suihe saw through her thoughts at a glance and shook her head with a smile. “No, she’s here with friends. She’s just saying hello.”

Xia Moyi’s gaze locked precisely onto Ye Susheng, who was standing beside Hua Suihe. The smile on her lips froze for a moment. She instinctively glanced at their surroundings-everything was normal, with no signs of Thriller Contamination. Yet, she was seeing Ye Susheng in a normal zone.

Remembering she was wearing her glasses, she nudged them up slightly. Ye Susheng vanished.

So they weren’t scammers after all.

Xia Moyi’s mood instantly turned solemn. She bid a hasty farewell. “I really just wanted to say hi. I won’t disturb you then.”

With that, she hurried back toward her seat. It was far from the condiment station, and once she sat down at a certain table, she was out of sight.

Ye Susheng turned to Hua Suihe and said, “Hua Hua, she can see me.”

“Huh?” Hua Suihe was a bit confused. “She couldn’t see you before.”

Fang Ge guessed the content of the conversation based on Hua Suihe’s reaction and made a bold assumption. “I saw her expression change just now. Are her glasses a special item? I haven’t seen a product like that on the market.”

Ye Susheng didn’t care about items or bugs. “It’s fine if she can see me. It saves trouble.”

When Ye Susheng was in an invisible and untouchable state, the fear she caused humans was minimal. When she was visible, the intimidation factor doubled.

Seeing that she was here, that girl definitely wouldn’t dare to pester Hua Hua. Hadn’t she just been scared off?

Ye Susheng felt a secret sense of satisfaction, a somewhat childish pride.

The ‘fleeing’ Xia Moyi had actually returned with her glasses to face two men.

“Is this thing already circulating on the market?”

“Not yet. Production can’t keep up.” The man before her had a magnetic, pleasant voice. He was fair-skinned and lean, wearing a pair of sophisticated rimless glasses. A beauty mark sat at the corner of his eye, and his aura was as calm as a light breeze.

Yu Yan chimed in from the side. “You indeed saw some things you shouldn’t have seen here, didn’t you? Can you confirm now that we aren’t scammers?”

Xia Moyi’s gaze was calm, tinged with a hint of scrutiny. “Why did you come looking for me?”

Yu Yan took over. “Because your status is special. I know that even if you don’t clear a dungeon, you won’t die, nor will you be corrupted and mutated by Thriller. We’re the same. We’re the same kind of people.”

The sophisticated man spoke very properly. “That is why our Agency very much needs Miss Xia’s help. Are you willing to contribute your strength?”

“We are inviting you sincerely. Moreover, now that we know about your special nature, we can’t let you remain adrift.”

“Adrift?” Xia Moyi frowned in displeasure. “I’m doing perfectly fine. Your collective isn’t my collective, so where does this talk of being ‘adrift’ come from?”

“Please don’t be angry, Miss Xia.” The man pushed up his glasses, his attitude remaining gentle. “It was an improper choice of words on my part. But I hope you can understand-the spread of the Thriller is encroaching on human living space and challenging the laws of human survival. For our own sake, dealing with Thriller Contamination should be the duty of all of us.”

“I’m not saying this to put you on a pedestal, but everyone can see the speed at which the Thriller is spreading. The footsteps of humanity’s doomsday are pressing close; we don’t have much time left.”

“Of course, I know this might be a bit much for you, so we will give you time to consider. In the future, I, or my colleagues, will come to find you again.”

He spoke unhurriedly. Although he was discussing a serious topic, he didn’t make her feel pressured.

Xia Moyi asked him, “What is your name?”

“Song Qiyue. ‘Qi’ as in ‘actually,’ and ‘Yue’ as in ‘moon.'”
