Evelyn waited for a while, but still received no response from Elsa. Pulling her mouth into a tight pout, she said, "Doesn't Elsa talk with anyone else when she is talking to my brother?"
Bess Shen, her roommate, turned to look at her and said, "You can't do anything about it. Your elder brother is as tempting as the most popular milky tea brand. I wonder if there is anyone in the world who could resist such magical attraction." As she said that, a glimmer of brilliant light flashed on her laptop screen. Worldly Rose stood proudly in the wind. "Evelyn, I think you'd better register one more secret account." Turning to Evelyn once again, she continued, "By the way, I just forged a set of golden equipment for Elsa, but she hasn't reached the gear level yet. When do you think she will achieve max level at this rate? She is as slow as a turtle."
Evelyn released her grip on the mouse and sat back on the big chair with her legs crossed. She said with a shrug, "If the level system took romance into account, my in-law to be would surely be the first to achieve max level."
"No way," Bess said with a smirk, shaking her head. "Charlie will be the first to achieve max level in that case."
While the two girls discussed ardently about them, Charlie and Elsa were on the verge of breaking into a fight.
[Spouse] Sweet Dream: Legendary Past called me her in-law!
[Spouse] Silent Sorrow: She is my younger sister. So, she would obviously call you that. He attached an indifferent emoji to his message.
[Spouse] Sweet Dream: Evelyn called me as in-law too. She attached an angry emoji to her message in response.
[Spouse] Silent Sorrow: ...
Charlie frowned slightly at the message. He wondered when Little Bun had become so smart.
[Spouse] Silent Sorrow: Sweet Dream... Charlie was speechless.
He realized that he didn't know how to explain the situation to Elsa. His Little Bun had been resisting him for so long because of what he had done to her in their childhood. That incident had become a lasting bad memory in her mind. No matter what he said, she would eventually come to the conclusion that he was just creating trouble for her and playing tricks on her. That was exactly why he hadn't told her that he was Silent Sorrow.
[Spouse] Sweet Dream: I'm really pissed off, Charlie Long! You're doing this intentionally, aren't you?
[Spouse] Sweet Dream: What on earth do you want from me? Did you have fun deceiving me? Was it entertaining to make me talk to you online every day as if you were somebody I trusted?
[Spouse] Sweet Dream: But, this is it! Enough already! I don't want to see you again.
Charlie was just typing a message for her, but before he could send it, the person beside his character disappeared in a fury. He stared at the words on his screen that remained unsent.
"I have been in love with you for so many years. I have been here waiting for you. You're the girl who captured my heart and never left."

"What's wrong with her?" Ann asked when she saw that Elsa was fuming at the screen. Following Elsa's sight, she looked at her laptop. The game interface was no longer on the screen. It was turned off.
Olivia turned to look at Elsa too. She crossed her arms over her chest and pretended to think carefully. "Hmm... According to my observation, I am guessing that she must have fought with the master."
"No," Anna said, shaking her head. Seeing that Elsa's cheeks were increasingly plump, she said slowly, "Take a look at her... She has obviously been abandoned by Sorrow."
She sighed dramatically, as Ann and Olivia looked at Elsa simultaneously. After observing her for a while, they nodded in agreement.
"All right!" Ann said, snapping her fingers. "Now that she has broken up with Silent Sorrow, we can start pushing her towards the prince charming." The three of them looked at one another. When their eyes met, they could not help but smile secretly, like three sly cats ready to pounce on its prey.
Elsa had no idea what her conniving roommates were up to. At that moment, her eyes were fixed on the screen, and her baby face was plump because of her rage.
Ann took out her cellphone from her bag and waved it to the other two. Then she quickly sent a short message.
Charlie smiled as he read the message from Ann.
He replied, "Okay!"
