Chapter 79: Call Me Husband

In Penguin Flycar, married partners have wedding anniversaries, which are divided into different types based on the length of the marriage.

There’s the Silver Wedding, Gold Wedding, Crystal Wedding, and finally, the Diamond Wedding.

The shortest, the Silver Wedding, requires being married for three months.

When Su Cheng played this game, none of her partners ever reached a Silver Wedding. After three or five days, they would always end up divorcing and deleting each other as friends.

At this moment, the small heart in the partner section showed a Silver Wedding, and the marriage date was also clear.

Coincidentally, today was September 15th, which happened to be their Silver Wedding anniversary.

As Su Cheng looked through the Silver Wedding rewards issued by the game, a wave of melancholy and confusion washed over her.

She was worried about how she was going to defeat this God of Racing, and she was confused as to why her partner happened to be the Gu Xiya beside her.

Was this some kind of fated connection?

“What’s wrong? Are you surprised?” Gu Xiya asked softly, a straw between her lips, her pretty face full of amusement.

It was as if she had known all along that her partner was Su Cheng, and everything she had done was just playing along with her.

“I… I really didn’t expect my partner to be you.”

The corner of Su Cheng’s mouth twitched, finding it hard to accept for a moment.

Gu Xiya chuckled a few times, put down the milk carton in her hand, and moved closer to Su Cheng. “But I knew all along. Because your QQ avatar and WeChat avatar are exactly the same.”

Su Cheng was instantly mortified. So, it turned out she had exposed herself.

“Hehe, silly Cheng Bao,” Gu Xiya giggled, a sweet smile on her face. “Although I don’t want to bully my wifey, for the sake of the reward, I have no choice.”

“Who… who’s your wifey…” Su Cheng replied in a low, stunned voice, feeling extremely guilty.

“You’re my wifey, have you forgotten? You used to call me ‘husband’~”

Su Cheng immediately clamped her mouth shut and lowered her head, not daring to say another word.

Gu Xiya’s words instantly brought back her buried memories.

Su Cheng had gone to the internet cafe to practice her racing skills as usual. While she was AFK, she joined a room looking for a CP. As a result, the other party decisively added her as a friend and immediately sent her a ring and a marriage card.

Su Cheng figured that it wouldn’t be long before the other party deleted her anyway, so she agreed without much thought.

After adding this CP as a friend and chatting, the two of them actually got along quite well.

It was just that Su Cheng was never sure about the other person’s gender.

Later, the other person even changed their in-game name based on her nickname. From that day on, Su Cheng played the role of the female partner online, calling the other person “husband.”

Although it was strange, it was common for men to pretend to be women, or women to pretend to be men online, especially in Flycar.

After all, there were usually no consequences for trash-talking online. If you didn’t like it, you could just delete them.

Later, because of her part-time job, Su Cheng quit the game and didn’t use QQ as much, switching to WeChat. In the end, she forgot about the other person in her friends list, and they lost contact.

Thinking about it now, it turned out that Gu Xiya had been in contact with her long before the others.

So, the probability of Gu Xiya being a reincarnator had risen from zero to almost one hundred percent.

“Wifey~ why aren’t you talking?” Gu Xiya shook Su Cheng’s arm, pulling her out of her thoughts.

Su Cheng’s head was bowed low, her pretty face burning, not because Gu Xiya was calling her wifey, but because she remembered her embarrassing past and felt too ashamed to face her.

“I… I’m not your wifey…” Su Cheng turned her head away.

The amusement in Gu Xiya’s smile became even more obvious, “Oh? I still have the chat logs of you calling me husband. Do you want to see them?”

“No! No!” Su Cheng replied firmly, suddenly turning her head and shouting at Gu Xiya.

“Hehe, wifey, are you shy?” Gu Xiya stared at Su Cheng.

Su Cheng pouted in shame and anger, her almond-shaped eyes wide, “Hmph, you’re not allowed to call me wifey. Let’s compete first. We’ll talk after you beat me!”

Gu Xiya had a wicked smile on her face as she nodded, “Alright. The room’s ready, let’s go.”

“Can’t you speak properly? All that gibberish is not serious at all.”

Gu Xiya blinked innocently, “What are you talking about? I’m being very serious. Alright.”

“Stop with the nonsense. Hurry up and change cars. To be fair, we’ll use the default car and random maps.”

Gu Xiya smiled as she operated the controls and finished her milk. There was even a dance segment before the race started.

“If I win, can wifey dance for me?”

Su Cheng rolled her eyes at her and said huffily, “In your dreams! I won’t lose to you!”

‘So what if you’re a God of Racing? I’ll still beat you!’

The first race began. The map was Twelve Cities.

At the start, there was no gap between the two. But as they passed more and more corners, the gap between them became more and more obvious. In the end, Su Cheng only got second place. “One to zero.”

“It’s only the first race. Don’t get cocky. My hands aren’t warmed up yet.”

After that, for three consecutive laps, Gu Xiya reached the finish line with an absolute lead.

Su Cheng always arrived in the last second, in last place.

“It’s four to zero. Isn’t wifey going to put in some effort?”

“Quiet! It’s all your fault for always calling me wifey. It’s affecting my performance.”

‘No, no, how is she so strong?’

Su Cheng was sweating profusely. At this rate, Gu Xiya would soon win the first round.

And in these four races, she hadn’t had a single chance of winning. Her previous underestimation of Gu Xiya was completely gone. She had to get serious!

In the fifth race, the random map was Su Cheng’s best track. Whether Gu Xiya deliberately went easy on her or it was because of Su Cheng’s skill, she finally didn’t have to get a clean sweep.

But after that, Gu Xiya gave Su Cheng no more chances, winning three points in a row and smoothly taking the first round.

After that, Su Cheng’s operations were repeatedly flawed. The combination of nervousness and the gap in skill made her lose her confidence.

Gu Xiya steadily won the second round.

Out of a total of fifteen races, Su Cheng only won one.

“Aiya, wifey is such a noob~ How did my noob wifey only win one race against me~” Gu Xiya crossed her legs, her pink toes rubbing against Su Cheng’s leg, her face full of pride.

She had suffered the most painful blow since she started playing this game.

She never would have thought that one day she would be completely crushed by her own in-game partner.

Utterly defeated, Su Cheng buried her head and curled up in the gaming chair. Her fingertips still trembled from controlling the steering wheel, finally hanging limply at her sides.

Gu Xiya leaned closer to Su Cheng, the ends of her hair brushing against her hot earlobe. Her right index finger gently lifted Su Cheng’s chin, and their eyes met.

Her sweet-scented breath caressed Su Cheng’s cheeks, and she watched as a blush slowly crept up her face.

“Noob wifey~ you don’t seem very happy.”

Su Cheng pouted in dissatisfaction, “I lost. How can I be happy?”

What’s more, they still had their agreed-upon condition.

“Alright, alright, cheer up,” Gu Xiya said with a smile in her eyes, dotingly stroking Su Cheng’s head. “I won’t make a very excessive request. Don’t worry.”

Seeing the triumphant smile on Gu Xiya’s face, Su Cheng couldn’t relax. Instead, a sense of crisis arose within her.

“Mmph… let me make it clear first, you’re not allowed to bully me…”

“Of course not. Hehe.”

Su Cheng swallowed hard, her legs trembling uneasily.

“Go on, what do you want me to do?”

Gu Xiya rested her arms on the armrests of Su Cheng’s chair, her long lashes fluttering over a pair of red eyes that sparkled with a captivating light.

“It’s very simple. For tonight, you have to listen to me,” Gu Xiya’s smile reached its peak.

“What?!” Su Cheng’s eyes widened, her jaw almost dropping to the floor.

“First, call me ‘husband’ and let me hear it~”

‘I’ll stuff you into a monkey!’
