4233 The Other Side 202

The two little ones gathered around the television and began to play with relish.

Yun Shishi brought some dessert to the boy, but he was clearly not in the right frame of mind for that.

He stared at the television, but it was as if he wasn't watching the screen. He held the controller in his hand and hit the buttons randomly. But even so, Natalia, whose face was flushed from the effort, was still no match for the boy.

"Woah! Why do I keep losing the game!" Natalia was breathless with anger, her cheeks puffed. She was obviously very into the game.

Youyou finally came to his senses and apologized. "Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking about something else and wasn't playing seriously."

Natalia was flabbergasted.

The boy was surprisingly direct. "Maybe I'll lose to you if I played seriously."

He thought saying that would please her. But to Natalia, it became a challenge.

She pouted. "What do you mean? You weren't playing seriously? And if you were, I'd be tortured to death by you."

"I wouldn't go that far." The boy said matter-of-factly, "Little Yichen is better at this game. I've never been his match."

"Hmph. Why won't you give way to me?" Natalia was obviously unhappy at losing the game. She tossed the controller aside and hugged her knees, looking aggrieved.

Youyou pursed his lips. Clearly his mind was still elsewhere. Natalia suddenly stood up and ran upstairs. She was obviously a little upset.

Hua Jin saw all that. In the past, he would have laughed. She must be throwing a tantrum. He headed after her to coax her.

Her manner made it clear that she was waiting for the boy to coax her. Except that the boy remained unmoved. He knew what Natalia was up to. He even expected her to be waiting for him to coax her. Alice had earlier instructed him to try not to be alone with Natalia, to create this opportunity or indulge it.

The boy suspected that Natalia was deliberately losing the game so that she could run to her room and wait for him to come around to look for her. That way, the two of them would have a chance to be alone.

He was so convinced of Alice's warning that he made no move to run after Natalia when she stomped upstairs. Instead, he switched the game disc and played by himself.

The minutes ticked by.

Upstairs, Natalia was clearly losing her patience. She had thought that the boy would not be able to bear it when he saw her stomping up the stairs, throwing a tantrum, and he would surely come with her to coax her. However, after waiting for so long and seeing no one, she thought it was odd.

Alice had guessed right. In that moment, the manifested personality was not Natalia at all, but Natalisa.

She had tried very hard to create an opportunity to be alone with the boy. Alice, who had solved this puzzle, had warned the boy in advance. Naturally, he believed her. He didn't believe Alice would harm the girl. On the other hand, he'd already sensed something was wrong with Natalia.

Natalia was running out of patience. She carefully pushed open the door to the room and felt her way to the top of the stairs. From where she was, she saw the boy sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding the controller and staring at the TV screen and playing with a calm expression.

Her eyes widened slightly in surprise. He seemed unaffected by her petulance, even detached.

What was going on?

Natalisa had actually noticed that the boy had a special affection for Natalia.
