Chapter 219: Trending Video
Qin Yanshu: Brother Ting, check out the trending videos.
Jiang Ting: What's up?
Jiang Ting was in the shower. Seeing a message come in, he initially thought it was from Ji Ning. He was about to reply and then start a video call to tease her, but it turned out to be from Qin Yanshu.
Trending videos?
Jiang Ting opened the interface with a question in mind. Scanning through it, he spotted an unfamiliar video titled "Three-Star Difficulty Instance: Despair Casino."
In the survival game system, because videos for a single instance contain multiple sub-channels, there are no thumbnails or display pages. From the outside, you can only see the title, difficulty star rating, and view count. You have to click in to know the actual content.
Seeing a new trending video that was the sole three-star difficulty entry among a sea of five-star videos, coupled with Qin Yanshu's heads-up, Jiang Ting had a vague premonition.
He clicked the video open. The sub-channel for No. 6 was clearly labeled with Ji Ning's name.
Jiang Ting opened the sub-channel, his gaze fixed on the third-person perspective footage following Ji Ning's figure. He selected 40x speed and slowly dragged the progress bar forward, only reverting to normal speed at the critical moments.
The more he watched, the darker his expression became. Jiang Ting simply closed the entire system interface outright.
……
The moment Ji Ning exited the instance, she immediately fulfilled her promise to Song Weiyang and went to him first to explain.
Ji Ning: Sorry for making you worry.
Song Weiyang: I searched for you for ages. I couldn't see you in the casino, so I knew you'd been in the room all along. But the hotel refused to disclose guest information, and your phone was always turned off whenever I called.
Ji Ning: It's all my fault. Please don't be mad.
Song Weiyang: I know it's not your fault. It must have been Yan Qiao's doing. Did he stop you from leaving the room and confiscate your phone too?
Ji Ning didn't dare reply, afraid of stirring up conflict between the two of them.
Song Weiyang: He really is the absolute worst. Baby, it's not just me being jealous. You'd better keep your distance from him. Don't let him deceive you.
Song Weiyang: He's a very dangerous person. I don't want you to get hurt.
Ji Ning felt incredibly guilty. On one hand, she understood Song Weiyang's concern, but on the other, knowing a bit about Yan Qiao's past, she could no longer treat him as a stranger.
After hesitating for a long time, she decided to play peacemaker.
Ji Ning: What happened between you two before? How come you're so irreconcilable?
Song Weiyang: That bastard Yan is ruthless and cruel. He nearly got me killed. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Xing or Brother Ting. They should have run into him too and know I'm telling the truth.
No wonder Song Weiyang looked at Yan Qiao like he was an enemy. There really was bad blood there.
Since the conflict was that severe, Ji Ning felt she couldn't be impatient and force them to reconcile. She could only soothe and placate both sides.
Just like when you keep hamsters, you have to separate their cages. You can't put them together, or it'll be a fight to the death.
Ji Ning: Good thing you weren't hurt.
Ji Ning: You have to stay alert and protect yourself going forward too. I don't want anything bad happening to you.
Song Weiyang: I knew you cared about me. Mwah.
Ji Ning breathed a sigh of relief, profoundly grateful that Song Weiyang was so easy to coax.
With that side handled, Ji Ning accepted Yan Qiao's friend request and checked his messages.
Yan Qiao: Song Weiyang's been badmouthing me to you, hasn't he?
Ji Ning's eyelid twitched: No way, how could that be? Little Brother Weiyang is the sweetest. He was just worried about me.
Yan Qiao: Strangers among men are naturally in competition. That's normal. I wasn't targeting him specifically either.
Ji Ning hesitated for a long time, then decided to play dumb to avoid exposing what Song Weiyang had said: Are you talking about your past issues? What was that situation?
Yan Qiao: It's nothing. Since you know him, I'll just leave him alone if we cross paths in the future.
Ji Ning: Okay, okay, sounds good.
Yan Qiao: Besides him, how many other men do you have?
Before Ji Ning could even read Yan Qiao's new message clearly, she received a video call request from Jiang Ting.
She had no choice but to put the chat aside and accept the video call.
Immediately afterward, a massive, full-body shower scene appeared before Ji Ning's eyes.
A gentle stream of water trickled down the carved grooves of his abdominal muscles, leaving round, translucent droplets on his body, even catching a few on his areola.
At the edge of the video frame, the muscles around his groin were thick and bulging, with a smooth lower abdomen in the center, and further down, his cock remained out of frame.
Ji Ning was utterly dumbfounded. She complimented him: "Jiang Ting, you're letting me watch you shower again. You're so generous."
After she spoke, her viewing angle was controlled to tilt upward, revealing Jiang Ting's face.
He looked at Ji Ning, a smile on his face, but the smile was unreadable, making her feel inexplicably uneasy.
"Ning-Ning, how's my physique?" Jiang Ting asked.
Ji Ning nodded emphatically and said with profound sincerity: "Good, very good, extremely good."
Jiang Ting was amused by her reaction, but quickly composed himself. With a stern face, he asked seriously: "Do you like me?"
"……" Ji Ning thought to herself, what in the world set Jiang Ting off? But aloud she answered, "I like you. I do like you."
Jiang Ting's hand moved down below frame, and his arm began to sway ever so slightly. He was likely gripping his cock and stroking it a few times where Ji Ning couldn't see.
"Then, is it more comfortable when Yan Qiao fucks you, or when I fuck you?"
Ji Ning's face instantly exploded into a deep red. Stammering, she said: "You… how do you know…"
"I saw your trending video. The casino instance." The smile on Jiang Ting's face cooled. "Be a good girl and answer my question."
Knowing which way the wind blew, the bootlicker Ji Ning decisively defected: "You're more comfortable. You're the absolute best. Qiao-Qiao is forever the god."
Regardless of whether she was telling the truth or lying, Jiang Ting would only take it as the truth. Once his heart was soothed, he could peacefully shower and sleep.
After placating Jiang Ting and hanging up the video call, Ji Ning let out a long sigh of relief and wanted to verify if what Jiang Ting said was true. But she discovered that during her video call, her chat box had already been bombarded with messages from five different people.
Opening and reading through them one by one, Ji Ning only felt her face flush, her hands go weak, her legs cramp, and she was trembling all the way to her rear.
Sheng Churan: So I guess I've been going too easy on you, huh?
Sheng Churan: You didn't tell me, but went begging to someone else.
Sheng Churan: Guess the love is gone, the feelings have faded, the spark's just dead, right?
Sheng Churan: Stinky baby, won't even sweet-talk me.
Qin Yanshu: It's my bad luck.
Qin Yanshu: Can't run into an instance this free and easy.
Song Weiyang: ?
Song Weiyang: Yan Qiao played with you like THAT?
Song Weiyang: He's dead meat.
Song Weiyang: I am so pissed off.
Song Weiyang: You guys were right next to that room?! Why the hell did I check out so fast? Otherwise I would've found you way sooner.
Song Weiyang: The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Song Weiyang: Baby, you owe me serious compensation next time.
Yan Qiao: So how many exactly?
Yan Qiao: Answer me.
Yan Qiao: Keeping some other man company right now, aren't you?
Yan Qiao: I saw our video trending. I am currently very pleased.
Yan Qiao: So just be honest. I won't get mad.
Having read four messages, only Xing Ye's was left unopened. Ji Ning didn't dare look.
Because the last line shown in the preview was the word "Excellent."
She spent ages mustering courage before opening the dialog box with a trembling little heart.
Xing Ye: So this is how wild my good girl is in front of other men.
Xing Ye: Pinning you against the wall, mounting you from behind in doggy style, holding you up and denying you—all these things I wanted to do so badly, but couldn't bear to do a single one. I never imagined not only would someone else get the benefit, but I'd see you so turned on by it.
Xing Ye: What now? I regret it.
Xing Ye: Before watching, I thought I had prepared myself mentally enough.
Xing Ye: But the reality was far beyond control.
Xing Ye: Excellent.
The word "DOOMED" hung in giant letters over Ji Ning's head. She frantically replied to each one, soothing them as fast as she could.
She felt like she had fallen into a vinegar vat. This group of men were all master vinegar brewers, each one more sour than the last.
Ah, the troubles of being spoiled.
To get revenge on the instigator of all this chaos, Ji Ning saved Yan Qiao for last—and decided to give him the blunt truth.
Ji Ning: What can I say? Quite a few. Besides Song Weiyang, there's also Xing Ye, Jiang Ting, Sheng Churan, and Qin Yanshu.
Ji Ning: Next time we meet, remember to call them all "Big Brother."
Yan Qiao: You little devil…
