Chapter 316: Proposition (2/2)

”What's going on sister? Why are you awake so early?” he asked.

Hannah stopped drinking her coffee and looked at him. ”Oh, I… uh got a message from Sarah and Emily this morning. It's regarding their moving into our place,” Hannah said.

”Oh,” slight nervousness entered Alex's heart. ”What did they say?” Alex asked.

”They… it seems that Emily really can't pay any bill for the house, so she couldn't join at all,” Hannah said.

”Oh,” Alex was disappointed this time.

”Then I made a proposition,” Hannah said.

”A proposition? What sort?” he asked.

”I told her, that we could split the bill in 3 ways so that us 3 could pay her part as well,” Hannah said.

Alex was a little taken aback. ”Why do that sister? Isn't that profitable for us?” Alex asked.

”Yes, but we gotta take the loss somehow,” Hannah said. Alex got a little confused. ”Why?” he asked.

”For you, silly. You like her right? I'm trying to set you two up. Can't you understand that?” Hannah said. ”And guess what? They said yes. Apparently, their friends were thinking of changing rooms soon too, so when they brought up the idea of moving, their roommates found one too,” Hannah said.

”… oh.” Alex was so dumbfounded that that was all he could say. His heartbeat rose a few dozen and his stomach started feeling funny.

Hannah saw his face and asked, ”Aren't you happy?”

”Oh, uh… Umm… I am. I was just not expecting that,” Alex said.

”Whatever. They will move in after a week or so. Don't worry about it now, focus on your game and earning money. We have no idea how long the game will last for. It's entirely possible that the game's money will collapse within the month. So, it's better to earn as much as we can right now,” Hannah said.

Alex nodded and sat down to eat. Their conversation had taken a little longer than expected, so he chomped through his breakfast and quickly returned back to his room.

Then, he logged back into the game. He opened his eyes as Wan Li was shaking him.

”Huh? What's going on?” he asked as he stopped Wan Li from shaking him even more.

”Brother Yu, why were you so asleep? It's time for us to leave,” Wan Li said while pointing at the door. It seemed everyone was ready for the day.

So, Alex and Wan Li quickly walked out and joined the group.

”All here? Let's move.”
