Chapter 311: Chapter 312: Amazing Mental Telepathy
"Dongzi, I want to move back in with you again. These past few days, no oneâs been around to play with me or talk to me, and Iâve been really bored." After they left the restaurant, Miao Xuanxuan tilted her head and made the remark.
"Sure, then move back in. Itâs perfect, since your sister and mine are always talking about work. We can just play our games."
"Exactly, thatâs what I mean. Is it convenient for everyone?" Miao Xuanxuanâs eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled.
Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Letâs move right away."
"GO! GO!" Miao Xuanxuan shouted excitedly.
The two immediately called Miao Qingqing, who happened to be at Song Xiaodongâs place. Hearing that Miao Xuanxuan was moving back in, Miao Qingqing was amused and exasperated, but having seen how down Miao Xuanxuan had been these past few days, she couldnât refuse the happiness in his voice over the phone and promptly agreed with delight.
Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan made a beeline for home to pack their things. Conveniently, there was a car available right below her apartment building. They stuffed the car with their belongings and drove back.
Once they arrived at Song Xiaodongâs house, Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru came out to help with the moving. Miao Qingqing said in a half-annoyed tone, "Xuanxuan, really? All this to-ing and fro-ing is such a hassle."
Miao Xuanxuan hugged Song Xiaoruâs arm and said with a mischievous smile, "Sister Xiaoru likes me so much, you wouldnât mind, right?"
With a gentle voice, Song Xiaoru said, "Of course I donât mind. Iâm happy when you stay at my place. Otherwise, Iâm just stuck with Xiaodong, that little stinker, and I can never find him around the house. Itâs so boring being alone."
Song Xiaodongâs face darkened as he said, "Sis, Iâm always at home keeping you company now, alright?"
Song Xiaoru gave Song Xiaodong a sidelong glance and said, "Even if you are home, what fun is there in chatting with you? Having Qingqing and Xuanxuan around is much better."
Song Xiaodong shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Ah, my status as a little brother is getting more and more insignificant."
After a few jokes among themselves, Song Xiaoru helped Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan bring their clothes back to their rooms, the same two rooms they had before on the lower floor. Then, quite quickly, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan both emerged wearing identical pajamas.
Seeing them, Song Xiaodongâs mouth quirked up as he said, "Did you two plan this? To wear matching pajamas no less?"
Miao Xuanxuan giggled and said, "Oh, this wasnât planned at all. It just happened naturally."
"What do you mean?" Song Xiaodong asked.
Miao Qingqing explained, "Itâs quite miraculous when you think about it. Almost every day, we end up wearing identical pajamas. No matter how we choose, no matter how many sets we have, we somehow end up picking the exact same ones."
"Thatâs so miraculous?" Song Xiaoru and Song Xiaodong were both surprised and curious.
Miao Xuanxuan said with a grin, "Yeah, thatâs why as we grew up, I made sure not to buy the same clothes as her, except for pajamas and other home wear. Otherwise, weâd inevitably end up wearing identical outfits, and then people wouldnât be able to tell us apart at all."
"This somehow doesnât seem very realistic, does it?" Song Xiaoru couldnât help but remark.
Miao Xuanxuan proposed cheerfully, "Then letâs put it to the test."
Song Xiaodong immediately said, "Good idea. I really want to see this."
Song Xiaoru was also nodding repeatedly, wanting to witness it for herself.
Without any objections, Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing went back to their respective rooms. After a short while, they indeed came out wearing identical pajamas, which made Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoruâs eyes widen in disbelief.
Miao Xuanxuan also got into the mood and went back to her room with Miao Qingqing to change a few more times. When they came out, they looked exactly the same, no discernible difference at all.
"Iâm convinced, Iâm truly convinced. Is this the legendary telepathy?" Song Xiaoru asked, amazed.
Miao Qingqing nodded and said, "Seems like it. Besides, we also influence each other. If I like someone, Xuanxuan might unknowingly start liking them too. If I dislike someone, she feels the same."
Song Xiaoru immediately asked, "Then if you fall for a man, does that mean Xuanxuan would also like that guy?"
"Ah..." Miao Qingqing suddenly looked at Song Xiaodong and then at Miao Xuanxuan.
Miao Xuanxuan quickly said, "Hey, hey, although I also like Dongzi, I definitely donât have any thoughts of marrying him. It doesnât influence me to that extent."
Miao Qingqingâs face turned red from Miao Xuanxuanâs words and spat, "I donât have that kind of thought either."
"Whether you have it or not, who knows?" Miao Xuanxuan chuckled and said, "Dongzi, come on, play games with me."
Song Xiaoru watched as Song Xiaodong and Miao Xuanxuan ran upstairs, feeling somewhat worried. Now that Song Xiaodong had been involved with Miao Qingqing, if he was also to date Miao Xuanxuan, that would indeed complicate things, especially when he had to choose between the two sisters.
Miao Qingqing thought that Song Xiaoru was unaware of her and Song Xiaodongâs affair and smilingly said, "Just let those two mess around. Itâs not easy for Xuanxuan to cheer up, so we should let her vent."
Song Xiaoru nodded, thinking that she would have to ask Song Xiaodong before going to sleep.
Sitting on his bed with Miao Xuanxuan, Song Xiaodong heard her say, "Dongzi, letâs play Honor of Kings."
"Honor of Kings? Whatâs that?" Song Xiaodong asked, puzzled.
"Youâre so silly, you donât even know this. Come on, Iâll teach you." Miao Xuanxuan opened the game and let Song Xiaodong watch her play while pointing out the tricks.
After watching for a while, Song Xiaodong said, "This is pretty simple; itâs all about the controls, right?"
"So, shall we play a round?" Miao Xuanxuan asked with a grin.
"Sure, I can easily nail a simple game like this."
Miao Xuanxuan gave Song Xiaodong an account to spare him the newbie learning curve, and then they immediately started a match. Song Xiaodong was a bit rusty at first, not coordinating his skills well, leading to several deaths.
Miao Xuanxuan wasnât upset, she just chuckled and teased him.
But as the game progressed to the middle phase, Song Xiaodong grew familiar with his character. His usual quick judgment came into play, and soon he was using the character more adeptly, moving with finesse and calculating accurately. He quickly turned the tides, and in the end, it was Song Xiaodong racking up a crazy number of kills and leading Miao Xuanxuan to victory in the game.
"Iâm dizzy, are you really a newbie?" Miao Xuanxuanâs eyes widened as she looked at Song Xiaodong.
"Yeah, itâs my first time playing today," Song Xiaodong said with a cocky lift of his eyebrows.
"Youâre really a genius," Miao Xuanxuan grinned and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Come on, Iâm going to play all night with you today, you have to take me to rank up."
The two were so engrossed in the game that they didnât even notice when Song Xiaoru walked in.
