Astral Flower-Chapter 63: Entering the Game Again (2)

Nan Hua’s birthday was 20 January while Nan Xian Mu’s birthday was 12 February. The two of them had their birthday close to each other.

Seeing Nan Hua’s gaze, Nan Xian Mu became a bit nervous. He knew that mentioning his birthday in front of Nan Hua would make her remember the things during their childhood, but his mother told him that Nan Hua had no memory recollection of anything that happened before she disappeared.

Even after knowing that, Nan Xian Mu’s hand sweated.

He still felt nervous.

"Okay," Nan Hua answered.

Nan Xian Mu heard Nan Hua’s answer and his face showed a bright smile. "That’s great! I’m sure Mom and Dad will be happy too. Ah, Dad said that he hadn’t accepted any faraway mission, so he will also attend."

Nan Hua nodded, her expression remained indifferent.

Not wanting to see Nan Hua’s expression in fear that he would see something that he shouldn’t see, Nan Xian Mu kept on babbling, "Dad never actually forget about you, Sister! He always bought present for you on your birthday and send it to the room next to yours. I don’t think he had told you but every single year, he will buy different present.

Mom and Dad quarreled about this matter once because Mom felt that Dad is doing useless thing, but he’s very persistent. I think that Dad is very good in this matter and also..."

Listening to Nan Xian Mu recollecting the past, Nan Hua heard that Nan Hai Yan, Nan Hua’s father, never stopped looking for Nan Hua. For so many years, he kept on searching for the clues and many others.

Nan Hua’s eyes flashed as she lowered her head.

If the Nan Family was truly serious in looking for Nan Hua, would it be possible for her to be missing for more than a decade and never returned?

In this era that was very advanced, the incident in that year was nothing more than a big joke that slapped the faces of many higher ups. It was a blatant provocation but there was nothing they could do but to grit their teeth and continued with the investigation.

Without any result.

"Hmm? What are you two doing in the square all this time?" Nan Xian Tang had just finished his shower and entered the Virtual World after seeing Nan Xian Mu’s message. Seeing Nan Xian Mu babbling there, he was bewildered.

Even if they were waiting for him, they could just wait inside instead of waiting here like an idiot, right?

"Oh, I just invited Nan Hua to my birthday." Nan Xian Mu scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

Hearing the word birthday, Nan Xian Tang’s pupil dilated for a moment. He looked at Nan Hua but seeing that there was nothing wrong inside, he pressed his worried heart down. However, he still looked at Nan Xian Mu with arched eyebrows.

Nan Xian Mu showed a pitiful look.

He always wanted to celebrate his birthday with his sister, okay?

"Let’s enter the game <Flower Garden Tale> now." Nan Xian Tang was too lazy to explore this topic with Nan Xian Mu again.

Nan Hua looked at their behavior and her eyes flickered slightly. Seeing how much they wanted to protect Nan Hua, she felt it was rather strange. However, her expression remained the same and showed no flaws whatsoever.

It was as if nothing could affect her emotions.

...

Slash! Clang! Slash!

Killing the few beasts in the game, Nan Xian Mu happily picked the loot. He clicked his tongue. "I always feel that the game is targeting me. Why can’t I get good things from killing all these times?"

"Your luck is really bad," Nan Xian Tang said calmly.

Nan Xian Mu pouted and said nothing else. He knew very well that luck has nothing to do with him. When he was playing games, he was more unlucky than lucky. But it was still relatively normal and there were some rare times when he was also a bit lucky.

But it was only a bit.

"Sis, you’re now using a gun?" Nan Xian Mu saw that Nan Hua was using a gun and asked curiously.

"For exam," Nan Hua replied.

"Ah? You’re still practicing when you’re playing game?" Nan Xian Mu was stunned. For him, game and training or whatever had to be separated completely as fast as possible because he couldn’t connect the two together.

Nan Hua hummed lightly.

She was only doing this for the sake of appearance.

Nan Xian Tang, who’s a warrior, looked at Nan Hua and said nothing. He himself also picked the profession of warrior mostly because he needed to practice his close combat but didn’t want to suffer from the pain of deaths too much.

In the normal Virtual World, it was estimated that he had to suffer through a lot of deaths before he could raise his skills.

So he turned to games.

It was more fun and there were also plenty of ways for him to be able to practice and have sparring partner. Even if the sparring partner were usually scum who couldn’t fight properly, there were always some who were pretty good.

Not to mention, Nan Xian Tang usually fought those who were of higher levels because of his real physical strength that was far beyond normal humans. This was his greatest advantage in this game.

"Oh well, it’s getting late. My mother will probably try to call me in half an hour." Nan Xian Mu looked at his watch and feel depressed. He still didn’t have enough fun playing with Nan Hua and Nan Xian Tang.

"Aunty is still calling you to see whether you are out of the Virtual World or not?" Nan Xian Tang asked, his tone was relatively casual.

"You know my mother." Nan Xian Mu sighed. "I really can’t understand my mother nor your mother."

Nan Xian Tang shrugged but didn’t comment.

The reason why Nan Xian Tang stayed in the dormitory even during holiday was naturally to escape from his mother. While he didn’t want to fault his mother, he really couldn’t get along well with his mother.
