Alternate Dimension Game: Happiness is all that matters!

Yueyue was incredibly nervous when she said this, not even resorting to any small, clingy gestures anymore.

Her heart thumping wildly, as if trying to leap right out of her chest.

The "cousin" label, well, it was a carefully chosen attribute, allowing for closeness or distance, come and go as one pleases, plain and simple.

A "cousin" had quite a broad range of actions, a very effective protection.

But regardless, it was still a form of identity restriction.

Now, she started to let go, not wanting these restrictions anymore!!

"Please, you know what I mean! Don't play dumb, don't run from reality, look into my eyes!"

Wang Hao became increasingly tangled. He couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or acting.

Sweat started to bead on his forehead, his mind a complete mess, which quickly evolved into a massive mental storm!

.

However, just at this moment, the phone on the table began to vibrate.

Yueyue's expression changed slightly after seeing the message.

Then, a girl's voice reached her ears, "Hey hey hey, Wang, what are you doing here? Are you on a date too? Is this your girlfriend? She's such a cute girl!"

Wang Hao's train of thought was interrupted, he hastily looked up to see a college classmate, with whom he used to play board games, and quickly introduced, "Cousin from home, haha, not my girlfriend yet."

"Your cousin is so cute!" She emphasized the word "cousin", "Does she have a boyfriend yet? Want me to set her up with someone?"

"Uh... she's still in school, no need for introductions yet."

The classmate excused herself after a bit of small talk, as she too had her own boyfriend and things to attend to.

But after that disturbance, the "cousin" label was stuck onto Yueyue again, and she couldn't shake it off!

Han Xiaoyue's face reddened with anger, so furious!

She was utterly livid!!

She seriously suspected that the appearance of this classmate was concoct with by someone at the last minute, just to spoil her good times!

But, it didn't matter much, the timing wasn't great anyway.

Even the mental storm she'd stirred up in her quest for self-liberation had caused a little hiccup in the world.

There would be plenty of opportunities later!

She spread her hands in resignation and called out helplessly, "Big cousin!! How could you stick that label back on?!"

"Why are you shouting so loudly, afraid nobody heard we were causing trouble?" Wang Hao was also frustrated and somewhat relieved.

Xiaoyue angrily said, "With that interference, I'm back to being a cousin, I can't act it out anymore! So annoying, your classmate!"

"I still need to keep acting as Yueyue until the end of today, but now that 'cousin' label is stuck back on my head."

"So, was all that just acting?"

Xiaoyue froze, then tried to bluff with a smile, "That... you guess, there's a reward if you guess right."

Wang Hao sighed, "I won't guess, go wash off the makeup now, don't dress up like that. First, give me back the cousin."

"Okay."

After about fifteen minutes, the cousin returned, having removed her makeup, bouncing back in youthful pigtails, devoid of that bewitching charm.

For some reason, Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

The familiar girl was back, the simple, pure girl he'd grown up with.

No more racing heartbeat, no more throbbing in the head, nor any cat-and-mouse tricks, a bit regrettable yet somewhat relieving.

He pinched her cheeks, pulling them twice, enjoying the soft and delicate sensation, "Just tell me, have you ever been in love before?! How are you so good at this? Don't give me any nonsense about in-brain training."

"Ow, why are you twisting me?" Xiaoyue quickly tried to pull away.

"To tell you the truth... it was 'Empresses in the Palace' that taught me! Really, I haven't been in a relationship, but I learned the tricks of court drama." Xiaoyue moved right next to him, snuggling warm and close, draping an arm over old Wang's arm.

Being a cousin, you've got to be straightforward!

She was tired of playing cat and mouse herself.

Xiaoyue leaned toward old Wang's ear, teasingly asked, "Did you have any strange ideas just now?"

Wang Hao picked up a piece of beef and wolfed it down, "Do you want the truth or a lie?"

Xiaoyue chuckled, "Considering your consistently thin skin, let's spare your pride and go with a lie."

"I had no strange thoughts, none at all!"

"Pfft~"

Wang Hao turned his head to look, feeling that the "cousin" label wasn't as secure as before, like it could fall off at any moment.

Yueyue spoke softly again, "So, do you think the world you live in is interesting now?"

"Um... Though there are many dark sides, overall it's quite interesting, at least more than some monsters."

When he said this, Wang Hao vaguely understood something.

Whether it was the various stories in games or certain experiences in life, they all pointed to one thing: the human spirit is the most important and most fascinating thing.

The flowing water, the soaring birds, the journey, the world like a fleeting dog, life eventually withers.

There are basically two ways to live a life.

One is to live in the spiritual world, like the pursuit of science, the pursuit of artistic beauty, or those idealists who try to shape a better world.

The other is rolling around in the material world; some people wallow in the mud, while some are born in Rome. No matter how successful or unsuccessful, if there is no difference in the spiritual aspect, in essence, the things they chase are all equally base and vulgar.
