"So, sister, instead of resting properly to recover, you've started playing games again?" Qila sat on Leticia's bed, glaring at Leticia with her big eyes.
Leticia turned her head and flashed her sister a big smile. "I'm bored with nothing to do, so I need to find something to occupy myself."
With her current physical condition, she couldn't exactly go out to play, right? And if she couldn't go out, then there was only one thing she could do.
Playing games—truly wonderful.
"By the way, sister, where are you planning to have Candice stay?"
"Hah?"
"Doctor Candice. I can sleep with you, sister, but Doctor Candice can't sleep with Sister Xue'er, right?" Qila realized that this idiot sister of hers seemed to have not thought about this problem at all. "The house I rented has already expired."
If they couldn't think of a solution before nightfall, poor Candice would have to go sleep in a hotel.
"How about letting Candice sleep at a hotel?" Leticia chuckled.
"Your Majesty needn't worry about this problem." Xue'er, who was organizing household affairs outside, heard the discussion between the sisters and pushed open the door to tell the two girls, "I've discussed it with Miss Bai. Doctor Candice can stay with Miss Lin Qingyu."
"Lin Qingyu? Isn't she staying at that Bai person's house?" Leticia was a bit confused. Lin Qingyu was picked up by Bai Ya, so surely Bai Ling hadn't arranged another place for her to stay?
"Miss Bai Ling's home also has no spare rooms. To accommodate Miss Lin Qingyu, she bought the room across from her house." Xue'er explained. "Simple renovations have been completed—at least it's habitable."
"Ah... this..." Leticia admitted she knew nothing about Bai Ling's wealth.
With Candice's accommodations settled like this, Leticia, feeling like there was nothing left for her to do, put on her headphones and planned to continue her adventure career.
Then, before she could start playing, Bai Ya's energetic voice came from outside the door: "Little Qi, Little Qi, come play together!"
Qila's face immediately fell. She really had no way to deal with Bai Ya. This endlessly energetic little girl truly left the aloof Qila feeling at a loss.
"I still need to take care of sister." After seeing Bai Ya, Qila said seriously to the little girl.
Bai Ya looked at Leticia, who was already immersed in the gaming world, feeling that such a Leticia didn't really seem like someone who needed care.
"I'll take care of her. Little Qi, you go play with Little Ya." Bai Ling appeared at the doorway like a ghost. "Little Ya has been wanting to play games with you and that Lin Qingyu."
Actually, Bai Ling didn't mind, or rather was very willing to accompany her sister in playing games, but Bai Ya minded.
No matter how much her sister doted on her, in Bai Ya's eyes, Bai Ling was still an elder, and she couldn't bring herself to laugh and joke while playing games with an elder.
"Then... alright." Qila jumped down from the bed somewhat helplessly.
Leticia indeed didn't need any special care. Her only requirement was not letting her play games for too long.
"Sister started playing games at six o'clock. Sister Bai Ling, you must make sister log off at eight o'clock. If she refuses, cut the internet cable or pull the circuit breaker."
Bai Ling's eye twitched. Qila really was Leticia's biological sister.
Cutting internet cables, pulling circuit breakers—this was too...
"Okay, I understand." But this was a request from her biological sister, so Bai Ling, an outsider, should comply.
Besides, patients should rest properly. Sitting in front of a computer all the time wasn't good for the body.
Looking up at the clock—mm, seven-thirty.
Leticia's good days had another half hour before they would end.
Time passed minute by minute. When the slender minute hand slowly moved to the space marked twelve, Bai Ling stood up and tapped Leticia's shoulder twice.
"What?" Leticia took off her headphones and asked.
However, her eyes remained fixed on the screen. This game was at a crucial moment—she couldn't afford to be distracted even a little.
"Time's up. Qila told me to remind you to log off."
"Can I finish this round?" Leticia was unusually agreeable, seemingly understanding that Bai Ling was just a messenger.
Since it was Qila who said it, what could she, the sister, do but obediently accept?
She believed that if she ignored Bai Ling and continued playing, when she woke up tomorrow, her home's internet cable would probably be cut by Qila.
She needed to take the long view—fishing out the pond wasn't advisable.
Having fun today—ah no, not necessarily having fun, because Qila might come back at any time—compared to being able to play games for the next few days, Leticia's choice was wise.
She wanted to play for several more days.
Qila wasn't some flood or beast. As long as she didn't go too far, her sister would be quite considerate of her.
"Mm." Regarding Leticia's request, Bai Ling expressed acceptance.
She was understanding.
After about five minutes, realizing she needed to hurry, Leticia performed magnificently and successfully buried her team's great advantage with her own hands.
Looking at the blood-red "DEFEAT" on the screen, Leticia covered her face with her hands. "Wah wah wah, I lost."
And she was the one taking the blame.
"...Noob." Bai Ling didn't know how to comfort Leticia properly, so she patted the girl's shoulder again and after holding it in for a long time, managed to squeeze out one word.
"If you can't speak properly, don't open your mouth." Leticia glared at Bai Ling. Sure enough, whenever she encountered Bai Ling, her blood pressure would shoot up.
Turning off the computer, Leticia stared blankly at the ceiling, her heart falling into confusion.
Who was she, where was she, what should she do?
Before, when she could play games continuously, she wouldn't have this bewildered feeling, but today, she couldn't play anymore.
So a question lay before her: what to do?
Read books? Read novels? Current novels were all somewhat boring. Leticia hadn't found novels to her taste in a long time.
Go do something that made her happy? The current situation wasn't suitable for doing those things either.
"How about going to see Little Ya and the others?" Bai Ling also noticed Leticia's confusion, so she offered her suggestion.
Little Ya should have pulled Qila to play games—according to what Bai Ling knew, it seemed to be a role-playing dungeon game.
Oh right, not electronic, but physical like Monopoly.
The rules were somewhat complex, but from the reviews Bai Ling found online, this game had very high playability.
"Sure, I'm just idle anyway. Let's go see Qila and the others."
