Chapter 34: I will stick to Michu (1/2)

[Earth, 4 p.m,]

Lazy Bum, known as Jacob, stood before the family house. At such times, he usually would be already in his room, either watching a movie or lazing around in the game world. Nonetheless, Jacob got a call and he was forced to meet someone.

He sighed and his irritation grew deeper, ”Hello? It's me, Jacob…” Not even a few seconds passed before the fence's gate opened. This was rather too fast, so what Jacob feared the most soon happened.

An older lady, in her late forties, waved her hand at him, ”Little Jacob! Come, come!” She was Sandra's mother and she was the number one fan of Jacob x her daughter ship, ”We were about to have dinner! Are you hungry?”

”I am not, aunt…” Jacob weakly responded, but it just looked as such as Sandra's mother was just too loud.

She was happy that her daughter had at least one friend that visited her and her deepest worry was that Sandra wouldn't find anyone in her life. Thus, she shipped Jacob, the childhood friend from the neighborhood as much as she could!

Mother was doing her best here.

Since Jacob didn't feel like eating, the aunty just sent him straight to Sandra's room.

”...” As Lazy Bum quickly found himself before another door, he halted and looked to the side.

Now, it was not only the mother but also the father and older sister cheering him on, ”Go, go!” He retracted his face and even looked a little more to the opposite side so that he could hide his grimace on his face.

Jacob knocked on the doors, ”It's me. I am coming in,” To save himself from all those heated shippers, Jacob entered Sandra's room before she could respond. Nonetheless, it was fine as she was in her usual setting.

She sat like the popular L on her gaming chair, hugging her knees. In the dark room, the light illuminated her face and made her seem even paler. The blanket was wrapped around her body! She turned her blue eyes to him and said, ”Thanks.”

Lazy Bum sighed, ”So why did you call me, Alexandra?” Jacob hopped onto the bed, then finally sighed with relief. He could rest from all this moving around and the shippers wouldn't invade their family member's privacy.

He looked at the dark room with shades pulled and PC stuff strewn around.

In the past, Alexandra used to be a different woman. First of all, she wasn't that quiet and alone. On the contrary, her usual mood was similar to the one she had with Michu around. She was loud, friendly, and even too clingy sometimes.

This changed so fast that Lazy Bum couldn't remember when it exactly happened.

Alexandra shut herself in her room and refused to meet others, keeping the connection with the closest friends. But each friend had their own future and Lazy Bum was the only one who could keep up with such a bothersome friend.

He lived close to her and he was also lazy, so Alexandra could force him often.

A faint gentleman's sense often pushed Jacob to just oblige, but his mother also said that he needs some exercises, even if just a little. Thus, the lazy man and introverted woman helped each other unknowingly.

”Venomous is a killer in real life,” Alexandra said, which weighed on her heart and turned her attention to Lazy Bum. She looked at him with big eyes, but he didn't react at all. He even yawned.

She angrily added, ”It's serious and true! I don't know what to do!”
