After Eve Nightburn finished her moment of joy, Miri Dreamwell invited her to sit on the sofa and went to the kitchen to find some food to treat her guest.
“So comfortable~”
Eve sat on the soft sofa, feeling the sensation of sinking in and being embraced, which was truly different.
Eve began to understand why her boss’s office always had one or two leather sofas. If she had the money, she would definitely buy one for herself!
After a while, Miri came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit and two glasses of orange juice, placing them on the coffee table.
After setting the plate down, Miri handed one of the glasses of orange juice to Eve.
“Drink up.”
“Thank you.”
Eve took the orange juice and started drinking.
Miri picked an apple from the plate, took a bite, and sat down on the sofa with Eve.
“Want to watch TV?”
Miri picked up the remote control, ready to turn on the TV hanging on the wall.
Eve swallowed the orange juice she had just drunk and quickly said.
“Sure.”
Hearing Eve’s response, Miri pressed the power button, and the TV screen flickered to life.
Miri looked at Eve, who was drinking her juice. “By the way, Mentor, what should I call you now? Should I call you Mentor, or just by your name, Eve Nightburn?”
Eve had to stop drinking her juice again.
“Eve Nightburn, just call me by my name. Our mentor-student relationship is just from playing games together, it’s not that noble.”
“I understand.”
“So, Eve, what do you want to watch?”
This question suddenly stumped Eve.
“Let me think.”
Eve couldn’t think of anything she wanted to watch at the moment. It’s not like the movie companies in recent years have been producing anything worth watching, so she had no desire to watch anything.
Some of the top masterpieces of the new year would probably explode if they heard Eve’s thoughts~
Well, the real reason was that her days of only knowing work had long since disconnected her from the world. She had no idea what good TV shows were out there now.
Eve’s memory was simply stuck in the past few years when bad movies were flooding the market.
Human energy is always limited, but the things we face are infinite.
Eve had devoted her energy to work, so naturally, she had none left for art.
“Hmm… I don’t know.”
Eve finally scratched her head and helplessly expressed her blank mind.
“By the way, Miri, what do you like to watch?”
Eve had hoped that Miri would pick a show, and she would just watch it with her, but this seemingly simple question also stumped Miri.
“Hmm…” Miri scratched her head, “I don’t know either…”
“Sigh~”
In helplessness, Eve took the remote control from Miri and pressed two numbers.
The next moment, the TV started playing a well-known supernatural, suspense, and adventure drama—”Approaching Science.”
After watching for about 30 minutes, just as the two girls were getting into the plot, in the next moment—after the commercial break, the show continued~
Eve was now completely in no mood to watch TV. Anyone could waste Eve’s life, but commercials couldn’t, unless Eve got a cut of the profits.
“Let’s play some games instead.”
Eve leaned weakly against Miri, like a melted ice cream.
Her time was like water in a sponge; as long as capital was willing to squeeze, it would always drain away~
Well, capital, you win.
You successfully wasted 2 minutes of my time with a meaningless commercial.
This is why Eve hated commercials so much.
“Then I’ll turn it off.”
“Turn it off…”
Eve said weakly, not wanting to watch meaningless commercials.
Miri then turned off the TV.
“Want to play cards?”
“Not really.”
Eve had been bored with playing cards these past few days; she had long wanted to try a different game.
“So, Eve, what game do you want to play?”
“Hmm…” Eve thought for a moment.
“I want to build houses in a sandbox game.”
After saying this, Eve opened her phone and showed Miri the sandbox game she had on her phone.
“Okay, let me download it.”
Miri opened the app store, found the game, and downloaded it in a few minutes.
“I’ve downloaded it. Let’s play now.”
“Okay, I’ll create a room and wait for you to register an account.”
Eve then opened a map and created a multiplayer room.
“I’ve created it. Add me as a friend and join the room.”
“Room number 63618.”
Miri searched for the room number, found Eve’s room, and entered the game.
Seeing Miri enter the room, Eve said.
“Let’s begin.”
After saying this, Eve found a spot to claim as her area and started building her little house.
After about ten minutes, Eve had just finished her matchbox house and was ready to take a break.
She went to see how Miri’s construction was going~
Eve then found where Miri was and, upon seeing it, was stunned.
“So beautiful…”
Miri’s house wasn’t very big and was only a semi-finished product, but every area and every decoration was placed in just the right spot, truly pleasing to the eye.
In comparison, Eve felt that her hastily placed matchbox house was too simple.
Comparing oneself to others can be infuriating!
As an experienced player, she couldn’t even match a beginner. Eve felt deeply embarrassed.
Eve put down her phone and leaned over to Miri to ask, “Miri, how did you build this? Teach me.”
“I just built it the way I usually draw.”
Miri honestly shared her thoughts.
Is this the talent of a drawing genius?
So she’s a natural talent, someone you can’t beat no matter how hard you try~
It seems Miri’s Magical Girl skills are indeed related to drawing, which is a case of using one’s talents appropriately.
Creak~
At that moment, the front door opened.
“Miri, Dad and I are back.”
Jade Xiang said, taking off her high heels and changing into slippers before walking into the living room.
“Oh! Eve, you’re here! Welcome.”
“Hello, Auntie Jade!”
Eve waved at Jade with a smile, hoping Auntie Jade would be in a good mood later and make her a Strawberry Cake.
“Did you come to play with Miri?”
“Yes, I did.”
Eve nodded in affirmation; she had come over to eat, drink, and have fun.
Miri also stopped her game and turned to look at her mother.
“Mom, Eve wants to eat Strawberry Cake. Can you make one for her?”
“Hehe~ No problem. We just happen to have some ingredients at home. I’ll make it for you right now.”
