Chapter 68: The Young and Beautiful Idol Group
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi was used to covering up many unexplained things with the excuse that she was a genius. Xiao Sa shook his head with a smile, while Xiao Jing seemed to be devastated. He changed the game with a green face, saying, “Let’s change the game and play with new IDs!”
The corner of Tang Xi’s eyes twitched as she asked, “Jing, is that necessary?”You’ll still lose, okay?
Refusing to listen to her, Xiao Jing quickly changed the game, registered a new ID and urged Tang Xi to sign up. Tang Xi took a helpless look at Xiao Sa, who laughed and said, “If you don’t let Jing try again, he won’t go out. For the sake of your seafood, continue to abuse him.”
As Tang Xi was registering a new ID, she tilted her head and asked Xiao Sa, “Would Jing give up playing games because of me? If he does, I’d feel guilty!”
Seeing that funny expression on her face, Xiao Sa fell to the sofa laughing. When he finally stopped laughing, he shook his head and replied, “Jing is the kind of person who will never be defeated. He was abused by me since he was a kid, so don’t show any mercy to him. He won’t give up playing games. Instead, he’ll become more motivated to practice his skills day and night to defeat you.”
Tang Xi was speechless. When she looked at Xiao Jing, who was absorbedly trying out the new game by the side, a scene popped up in her mind: she was being forced to play games with Xiao Jing every afternoon after school.
Xiao Jing soon became familiar with the game. Seeing that Tang Xi was still staring at him in a daze, he grunted, “Hey, wake up and get familiar with the game. Let’s PK!”

This time it was Tang Xi’s turn to be flustered. She looked at Xiao Jing. She used to play this game a lot, so she was quite familiar with its characters and mechanics. Without trying it out, she just said, “Let’s start now. But I want to make it clear that this is the last set! Don’t cry when you lose!”
Xiao Jing snorted and said arrogantly, “Cut the crap. Just start it!”
A minute later, Xiao Jing roared, “Xiao Rourou, you freak! It’s a new ID, and you killed me in less than a minute?! How could this be?!!!”
Tang Xi put her hand over her ear and said helplessly, “Jing, although I used a new ID, you used a new one too… so it’s easier to kill you…”
“What! Are you implying that I don’t have any skill?!” Xiao Jing shouted as he held onto the gamepad. “Let’s have one more set!”
Tang Xi’s face turned stiff. “No!”
Absolutely not! If they kept playing games, she would have to give up her meal of seafood! She missed having hairy crab, lobsters, and octopus so much!!
Knowing what she was thinking, Xiao Jing said bitterly, “It’s the last set. If you win, I’ll buy you anything you want to eat tonight! Okay?”
“Okay!” Without any hesitation, Tang Xi looked at Xiao Jing excitedly ad said, “Jing, what game do you want to play? Hurry up!”
Staring at this foodie, Xiao Jing was totally speechless, while Xiao Sa fell to the sofa laughing again. “Rourou, you are so cute. I feel that you could do anything for a seafood meal. You’re really hilarious!”
Tang Xi pursed her lips and had one more set with Xiao Jing. Of course, she killed his character within a minute again…
Half an hour later, Tang Xi limply lay down on the sofa, stared at the extremely excited Xiao Jing speechlessly and murmured, “Jing, we changed from the ‘Wind and Dust’ to the ‘Rivers and Lakes’ and then to Contra, switching from online games to console games. What else do you want?”

Xiao Sa leaned on the sofa, kicked Xiao Jing with his foot and laughed, saying, “Hey, that’s enough. If you keep being like this, Rourou will run away from home.”
Although it seemed like Rourou was the one abusing Xiao Jing in the games, Rourou was the one actually in suffering!
Tang Xi felt truly regretful for her previous stupid words. If she hadn’t said ‘I’m afraid that I’ll crush you if I play with you, so forget it’, she wouldn’t have roused Xiao Jing’s will to fight, and she wouldn’t have been forced to play all those games! God, she had never played so many games before!
Xiao Jing looked sideways at Tang Xi, who was lying on the sofa with an exhausted look, pursed his lips, threw the gamepad aside, and turned to go upstairs. “Go get changed and I’ll take you to have a big meal!”
Tang Xi’s eyes lit up and she immediately jumped up and rushed upstairs. “Okay, give me three minutes. I’ll be ready soon.”
Tang Xi quickly went back to her room and selected a blue shirt and a white short pair of jeans. After changing, she tucked the shirt into the top of her jeans, quickly put on a pair of GUCCI leather sneakers, let her hair down, wore some lipstick and rushed downstairs.
Xiao Sa had also gone back to his room to change, and Xiao Jing hadn’t come down either, so she turned off the game machine, put away the gamepad, and then sat on the sofa, waiting for the two brothers.
Five minutes later, Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing both came downstairs. Both of them were dressed in formal suits. The corner of Tang Xi’s mouth twitched before she asked, “Why are you dressed like this?”
Xiao Sa shrugged. “There’s a dinner party at 10 o’clock tonight, so… ”
Xiao Jing pursed his lips and complained with disgust, “Da*n, I think we’ll have to meet some people again.”
Tang Xi blinked. “Then we won’t have the time to watch a movie.” They were going to attend a dinner party at 10 o’clock. How could they still watch a movie? Even if they went out now, a meal of seafood would take her at least several hours.
Xiao Sa said, “It’s okay. It’s not an important dinner party. We can just leave after showing up there.”
Tang Xi nodded and immediately turned to go upstairs. “We’ll smell like seafood after having the meal, so you’d better not wear suits. You can rent one on the way.”
Xiao Sa thought Tang Xi’s words made sense. He said ‘Just a minute’ to Tang Xi, and ran back to his room to change into casual wear.
With the both of them in white shirts, jeans, and sneakers, the two brothers looked like sunny boys, just like two college students. Rourou gaped and exclaimed sincerely, “You guys are really handsome!”
Xiao Jing gave a smug smile and replied, “Of course. I’m Xiao Jing.”
Xiao Sa spread his hands and turned around in a circle before asking, “Do we go well with you now?”
Tang Xi got up with a smile and turned around in a circle too. “Of course, we are the Young and Beautiful Idol Group!”
“Hahaha.” Xiao Jing laughed and nodded. “It’s good that the old man, Xiao Yao, is not at home, or else he would increase our overall age.”
Just then, a cold voice came from the door that said, “What did you say?”
Xiao Jing immediately jumped behind Xiao Sa and looked with fear at Xiao Yao, who was standing at the doorway. “Oh my god! When did you come back?”
