My Online Girlfriend Has a Twin Sister

Chapter 416: Chapter 274: Your Love is So Forceful

A whirlwind of emotions churned within Chen Yuan. When he arrived, he thought Jiang Yao was going to play a prank on him, but instead, he was met with this huge surprise.

A true surprise.

The room, which had previously held only a desk and a simple shelf, had been completely transformed. Even the ceiling lights were different. The headphones, keyboard, and other peripherals glowed with vibrant, flowing colors, but it was tastefully done—not the kind of obnoxious light pollution you sometimes see.

The computer case emitted a low, steady HUMMM, as if ready to accompany its user into a bloody battle.

Here, Chen Yuan could undoubtedly relax completely. The thought of sitting in this comfortable chair to play a game or watch a match was exhilarating enough to make his head spin.

’What guy wouldn’t want a gaming room like this?’ Chen Yuan, at least, had always dreamed of it.

"You did all of this?" he asked, turning his head in disbelief.

"Who else could it be? Let me tell you, Little Young Master, I’ve been working on this since yesterday. When you called me, I hadn’t even laid down this rug yet. I just finished."

"What made you suddenly decide to set up this gaming room...?" Chen Yuan sat down in the chair and leaned back slightly, instantly feeling so comfortable he wanted to sigh.

’You get what you pay for.’ Jiang Yao must have spent a fortune this time. freēwēbnovel.com

The quality of everything was impeccable.

Watching Chen Yuan spin around in the chair, filled with childlike wonder, Jiang Yao gave a sweet, silly smile. She walked over to his side and said softly, "Little Young Master, isn’t your birthday coming up? It’s in two and a half weeks. I was trying to think of a gift for you, and after much thought, I set my sights on this gaming room."

"With all this stuff, how long did it take you?"

Chen Yuan looked at her, and it suddenly clicked. ’No wonder Jiang Yao has been so quiet these past two days.’ Usually, she was so clingy she never wanted to let him go.

’A birthday gift...’

Chen Yuan ran his hand along the edge of the desk. Jiang Yao had even covered every sharp corner with thin, soft foam padding to prevent bumps.

He looked around, his eyes flashing with a myriad of different emotions: happiness, guilt, gratitude, and most of all, the feeling of being at a loss for how to react to being so cherished.

Jiang Yao loved him. That was beyond doubt. He could feel the profound weight of her love, a love that no one could deny.

Romantic partners were perhaps the most peculiar relationship in the world. Just a few days ago, they had fought to the point of becoming like strangers, yet now they were inseparable.

A couple could become so estranged that they turn on each other, severing all ties and never wanting to see each other again for the rest of their lives. Or they could be so close that they go through thick and thin together.

It wasn’t like the relationship between parents and children, sustained by blood, which could never be completely severed. Nor was it like siblings who grew up in the same family and shared years of unspoken understanding.

So many people desperately searched for that one good person to spend their lives with, to weather the storms together, and to reach the very end, where they would look at each other and smile during the most ordinary and simple of vows.

That vow is, "We voluntarily join in matrimony."

Chen Yuan had won this love. It was something he had dreamed of his entire life, and now that he was living in it, he was naturally overwhelmed with feelings.

"You finally asked the right question! Let me tell you, I was busy until eleven last night, and I got up again at six this morning when it was still dark. See this desk? It took so much effort to get it in here. It almost got stuck in the doorway. It was my fault, really. I’m so dumb—I forgot I could have assembled it inside the room. In the end, I had to push it in at an angle."

She finished, then pointed at the computer. "After Wan got off her shift, I took over. It was just a blur of assembly after that. The first time, the low-voltage power for the chipset didn’t even start up. I thought something was broken and contacted customer support, but I finally got it working by eleven."

Chen Yuan watched the chattering Jiang Yao, the corners of his lips curling into a slight smile. He rested his chin in his hand and just listened to her talk.

Her voice was the only sound echoing in the room; there were no other distractions.

She filled the entire room with her presence, wrapping Chen Yuan in a warm embrace.

"That look in your eyes, hehe... Little Young Master, I know you want to praise me for being amazing. I want to praise myself, too! Halfway through, I wanted to give up. I felt like it was too big of a project and that I could just take my time and not rush. But then, the moment I imagined how surprised you’d be, I was instantly re-energized and got right back to work."

"Amazing," Chen Yuan said, giving her a thumbs-up. The praise came from the heart. Even for a guy like him, a project like this would have been exhausting. "You’ve really impressed me this time."

"Finally willing to praise me, are you?" Jiang Yao’s eyes were filled with pride, just like a little puppy dashing back to its owner with a frisbee in its mouth. If she had a tail, it would be wagging furiously right now. "How rare, how rare. All my hard work wasn’t in vain."

"This whole setup... You girls really do have a good eye for aesthetics."

"What do you mean, ’you girls’? Can’t it just be that *my* eye for aesthetics is good? But I suppose I should put in the extra effort. It’s a birthday gift, after all. I’ve never prepared a birthday gift for a boy before. Congratulations, you’ve taken another one of my firsts."

"Well then, I’m honored," Chen Yuan said, at a bit of a loss for how to express his feelings at that moment.

"Actually, even if it wasn’t your birthday, I would have prepared this for you. I promised you when we were chatting that I’d set up a two-person gaming room, a little world for just the two of us. Once I say something, I have to follow through. Little Young Master, have you ever heard this saying?"

"Which one?"

"That would be: ’Keeping my word... that’s my ninja way!’" Jiang Yao was so proud her nose was in the air. She pursed her lips, trying not to laugh out loud, but her shoulders were already trembling slightly.

"Yaoyao..."

"I’m here, Young Master."

"Thank you." Chen Yuan reached out to take Jiang Yao’s hand, but the moment his fingers touched hers, Yaoyao flinched back as if she’d been zapped. He asked what was wrong.

She waved her hand and said it was nothing, just a small cut on her fingertip that would heal in a couple of days.

Chen Yuan took her hand, lowered his head, and looked at it closely for a moment. He saw the faint, barely-there line of blood.

He also saw that on Jiang Yao’s delicate hands—hands that had likely never even lifted a few heavy objects—a blood blister had formed. It was a red, bean-sized bump, swollen with blood.

"It’s okay, I’ll pop it later and it’ll heal quickly. I think—"

Before the words had left her mouth, she was suddenly pulled forward. She lost her balance and fell into a warm embrace. Her shoulder-length hair instantly spilled over his shoulder, the strands held by her barrette flying like a waterfall before settling down.

Jiang Yao’s waist was held tightly, leaving her unable to move. She was startled by the sudden hug.

But Chen Yuan didn’t say a word, just held her quietly.

"You worked so hard, Yaoyao. This is the best gift I’ve ever received. Really... thank you."

His voice echoed by her ear. Jiang Yao’s cheeks gradually turned crimson as she basked in the reassuring hug.

Suddenly, she felt that all her effort had been worth it.

"It... it was nothing," she stammered.
