67 The Birthday Party
Su Ming cast her a glance, then nodded and got into the car.
When the car drove away from the mall and Su Ming could no longer see Chen Yixue, his tensed up body finally relaxed a little.
Su Ming did not expect that his identity in the game would almost be exposed just because of a simple conversation.
However, judging from Chen Yixue’s probing tone, she probably was not sure if this was true or not.
It was only because he saw that he looked similar in and out of the game that he came to test him.
As he thought about it, Su Ming’s thoughts began to run wild.
If he could, he did not want to drop his avatar in the game for a while.
After all, having the identity of an NPC was quite convenient for him.
Therefore, it was best not to expose himself if possible.
Even if he had to expose it, he would at least have to wait until the game was officially open for beta testing.
About half an hour later, Su Ming arrived at the place where Shen Yi’s birthday party was held.
She did not go to any other place for her birthday dinner. Instead, she had dinner in her family’s restaurant.
When Su Ming arrived at the Shen family’s private kitchen, many of his other classmates had already arrived.
Shen Yi’s grades were good, and she had a good personality too. That was why she was popular in class. Su Ming did not find it strange that so many people would come to her birthday party.
“Su Ming, you’re here. Hehe, I knew you would definitely come.”
The moment Su Ming stepped into the restaurant, a slightly perverted-looking boy with a mustache came up to him with a smile.
Su Ming quirked an eyebrow and slapped away the pervert’s paw that was placed on his shoulder.
“Lin De, you’re pretty quick.”
Su Ming did not have many good friends in school, and Lin De was one of them.
However, the relationship between the two of them, compared to good friends, it seemed more appropriate to describe them as bad friends.
Lin De did not mind that his hand was slapped away. Instead, he said in a low voice with a mysterious expression, “Su Ming, I’m telling you, Shen Yi is really beautiful today!”
“If you see her later, your eyes will probably roll to the ground.”
Su Ming quirked his eyebrows. He did not think that Lin De was exaggerating.
Shen Yi’s appearance was perfect and had a kind of fairy-like aura.
She did not like to dress up and was always outstanding in school.
It was normal for her to be able to shock these little boys by dressing up for her birthday and exuding a fairy-like aura.
When Lin De saw that Su Ming did not speak, he looked at the bag of gifts in Su Ming’s hand with curiosity.
“This is the gift you gave Shen Yi?”
When Su Ming heard that, he nodded.
Lin De immediately patted Su Ming’s shoulder. “Boy, you’re good! If you were a bit more offensive and a little more intense in your approach, Goddess Shen Yi would really have been taken by you!”
When Su Ming heard that, he shook his head helplessly, but he did not say anything.
He and Shen Yi had some vague good feelings, but if he really told Lin De in front of him and let him spread it.
That hazy favorable impression would probably be instantly destroyed completely.
Even if Shen Yi did not mind, it would still be awkward between them.
Su Ming did not bother with Lin De anymore and walked straight into the private room.
Then, he saw Shen Yi, who was wearing a long white dress and an exquisite flower headdress. She looked like she was floating in the air.
Shen Yi seemed to be talking about something happy with the female classmate beside her, and the corner of her mouth curled up into a bright smile.
At this moment, she looked like a fairy, but at the same time, she also had a bright and generous moving beauty.
Su Ming was stunned for a moment. Then, he was awoken by Lin De, who was sniggering beside him.
Su Ming walked in front of Shen Yi and handed her the gift in his hand.
“Shen Yi, your birthday present.”
Shen Yi turned around, her bright almond-shaped eyes forming a faint crescent moon as she smiled.
“Thank you, Su Ming. I really like your gift.”
When Su Ming heard that, he was slightly taken aback.
“But you haven’t even seen what I’ve got for you.”
Hearing this, the smile on Shen Yi’s face did not change. “As long as it’s a gift from you, I will like it.”
Su Ming was instantly stunned.
He did not expect that Shen Yi’s expression would suddenly become so bold.
The private room was silent for a while, then the female students started cheering. Their gazes kept shifting between Su Ming and Shen Yi as they teased the two.
As for the male students in the field, after being stunned for a moment, they gritted their teeth and glared at Su Ming.
Su Ming came back to his senses and scratched his head. “As long as you like it.”
After that, the birthday party continued.
When everyone was almost full, they went to sing karaoke again.
Su Ming was not really interested in this part of the event, but he could not resist the other people’s enthusiastic invitations, so he could only go with them. Under the jeers of his classmates, he even sang a song with Shen Yi.
When the KTV session was about to end, Lin De, who had been having a great time, suddenly came to Su Ming’s side.
“Su Ming, have you heard of a new game recently?”
When Su Ming heard that, he raised his eyebrows instinctively.
“What game?”
Lin De put on a mysterious expression and spoke in a low voice, slowly uttering out a name that Su Ming could not be more familiar with.
“Origin of Humans: Horde.”
Su Ming suddenly had the urge to sigh, but he forced himself to suppress it.
Su Ming rubbed the center of his brows helplessly, then pretended as if he had heard of it before and asked, “What game is this?”
Hearing that, Lin De’s expression showed that he had expected it.
“Hey, I knew you’d never heard of it. You must be ill-informed, right?
“I’ve heard that it’s an epoch-making masterpiece. Its publicity can even change the course of human history!
“Some time ago, there were already ten lucky people who entered and became closed beta players.
“In about half a month, the game will officially start its open beta testing.
“When the time comes, I will definitely be one of the first players to enter the game and seize the initiative! To become the top player in the game!”
Lin De was in high spirits. He did not even try to suppress his voice.
The others in the hall also heard his words.
Immediately, a few boys came over and joined in the conversation.
They had obviously heard of this game before. Some of them had a slightly different attitude toward this game, but they were still mostly yearning and curious.
In the end, the boys all made an appointment to enter the game together and become the first players of the game.
Su Ming did not know what to say as he listened to their conversation.
