184 Meeting

“How do you know my name?” He asked.

When Loner on the other end of the line heard Su Ming’s question, he fell silent for a moment before he quickly replied, “Oh, right. Su Ming, after you agreed to meet me, I went to ask Chen Yixue.”

“She told me that you’re Su Ming in real life. You’re a senior in high school, 1.8 meters tall, and very handsome.”

As he listened to Loner talk about him as if he was a family member, Su Ming felt his head throb.

“Stop, stop, stop! You can stop for a moment.”

“Ah? What’s the matter?” Loner was still in a daze, his voice carrying a hint of confusion.

Su Ming sighed slightly helplessly and asked, “Are you an FBI agent? Why are you still reporting these things?”

“Uh, I’m a little nervous, so I subconsciously…”

Su Ming sighed helplessly, and a faint hint of surprise flashed past his eyes.

“I was thinking, when you’re online, aren’t you also quite active and outgoing? How come you’re like this now?”

When he heard Su Ming’s question, Loner on the other end of the phone laughed in embarrassment.

“It’s like this, Great Prophet. I do have some social fear in real life, but it’s the complete opposite online.

“That’s why I’m so extroverted in the game.”

After a short pause, he chuckled and said, “And now, aren’t I going to meet you? That’s why I’m so nervous.”

When Su Ming heard his words, he shook his head slightly in resignation.

“I can see that you’re indeed a little nervous right now.”

How could he not tell? As the two of them spoke, he had unknowingly changed the way he addressed Su Ming back to the Great Prophet.

Su Ming would only find it strange if Loner said that he was not nervous.

Su Ming shook his head helplessly, then said, “Then, how about I give you some time to prepare? By the way, you should have arrived in Jiangbei City, right?”

When Loner heard Su Ming’s words, he immediately shook his head.

Once he realized that Su Ming could not see him, he quickly said, “No need, no need. I’m at the high-speed rail station in Jiangbei City now. Just give me the address and I’ll take a taxi there.”

When Su Ming heard his incredibly nervous tone, he felt a little helpless.

After some thought, Su Ming asked, “Oh right, Chen Yixue should be free now. Should I call her along?”

Hearing this, Loner’s emotions became even more intense. He quickly said, “Don’t! Don’t! No need, I’m already nervous enough to face you alone, Great Prophet.

“If there’s another Chen Yixue, I probably won’t even know where to put my feet.”

When Su Ming heard his words, he could not help but want to laugh.

Once he shook his head, Su Ming said, “Alright then, I won’t call her.”

After a slight pause, Su Ming spoke again, “Then wait for me at the high-speed rail station. I’ll come to you now.”

Once he finished speaking, Su Ming hung up the phone without giving Loner a chance to reject him.

Once he left the house, Su Ming took a taxi to Jiangbei City’s high-speed rail station.

…

Jiangbei City high-speed rail station.

Once Su Ming alighted from the car, he looked around the entrance of the high-speed rail station. In the end, his gaze fell on a thin teenager with delicate features.

The boy looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. He was slightly younger than Su Ming, but also slightly older than Su Xiaoshan.

He was wearing a short white t-shirt and carrying a blue satchel on his back. He seemed to have a reserved personality, and his eyes kept sweeping over the people coming and going.

The moment Su Ming saw him, he matched his face with the face of Loner in the game.

However, to Su Ming’s surprise, he seemed to look better than he did in the game.

From the looks of it, Loner had deliberately adjusted his appearance in the game.

When he thought of this, Su Ming no longer hesitated and walked toward him with large strides.

“Oh, are you Loner?”

When he heard Su Ming’s voice, he first lifted his head in a daze, but when he saw Su Ming’s face clearly, his eyes instantly lit up.

“Is it the Great Prophet?!”

His voice was not soft and immediately attracted the attention of the people nearby, but he did not notice it at all.

Su Ming looked at him with a slightly resigned expression. He rubbed the center of his brows and said, “It’s me, but in reality, it’s better for you to call me by my name.”

Loner nodded his head vigorously upon hearing this.

Su Ming cast him a glance and seemed to have remembered something. He asked instinctively, “By the way, what’s your name again? I didn’t even have the chance to ask you.”

When he heard Su Ming’s question, Loner was slightly taken aback at first, then he scratched his head in embarrassment before he said, “I’m Lin Can!”

Su Ming cast him a glance and nodded.

“Alright, let’s go get something to eat. I’m a little hungry too.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Can immediately nodded repeatedly.

As he followed behind Su Ming and walked out of the high-speed rail station, he did not stop talking.

“Great Prophet, you’re even better looking than in the game. No wonder Chen Yixue says you’re handsome every day. It turns out that you’re really handsome.

“By the way, Great Prophet, you’re in your third year of high school now. Is it okay for you to still play games every day?”

“…”

Lin Can continued chattering nonstop behind Su Ming, and Su Ming felt a faint sense of helplessness when he heard that.

After shaking his head, he turned to look at Lin Can and said, “I’ve already said that you can just call me by my name. it’s a little awkward to call me Great Prophet.”

Lin Can was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately nodded like he was pounding garlic.

“Okay, I understand, Brother Su.”

Su Ming opened his mouth and shook his head helplessly. “Alright, I’m fine with that.”

After Su Ming brought Lin Can into the taxi, he thought for a moment before he told Lin Can the location of Shen Yi’s private kitchen.

Since he planned to treat Lin Can to a meal, it did not seem appropriate to go to a buffet-like place.

The best place he could think of was Shen Yi’s family restaurant.

Very soon, Su Ming brought Lin Can to Shen Yi’s family restaurant.

However, Shen Yi was not in the restaurant today, and Shen Fang did not come back.

When Uncle Shen walked out and saw that it was Su Ming, he was slightly taken aback before he said, “She’s at home.”

Su Ming nodded and said with a smile, “I know. I’m just bringing a friend over for a meal. Uncle Shen, the food here is delicious.”

Hearing this, he did not say anything more and turned to go into the kitchen.
