【Traveling Web Novel Author x B&B Owner】A high-achieving, emotionally detached individual meets someone who appears calm on the surface but is a volcano within.
Yan Qing's first i...
Chapter 26
The guild group had data from these two games, and someone brought it out again to speak up for Yan Qing, but the former senior sister still insisted on why a rookie had to bring two nurses.
Yan Qing didn't turn on the microphone, his brows knitted together: "A rookie should bring two nurses. If I were an expert, I wouldn't bring any."
The roommate next to her was a little confused and asked her a few words of concern.
The guild leader seemed to be silent just now because of something. When he came back and heard about this, he immediately stepped out to smooth things over: "In the end, everyone was beaten by the opponent. It was my command error. It has nothing to do with who brought two nurses. Yu Ni is a newbie, and Hotpot hasn't been in the game long. We are all from the same guild. Don't let this little thing hurt the relationship. If you have anything to say in the future, please bring it up. Don't hold this matter too much. If you want to bring two nurses, I can arrange it for you, or I can just play the nurse and follow you."
Someone immediately agreed, and the former senior sister nodded reluctantly and said nothing more. Seeing this, the gang leader continued to lead his men to fight the next activity.
Yan Qing's meal also arrived, so he ate while chatting on voice.
In fact, it's good to help the master. Yan Qing has never seen him lose his temper in the past few months. At most, he would speak in a harsh tone. If he was talking to the girls in the gang, he wouldn't even use a harsh tone. This time he said this, probably because he was too unreasonable with this former senior sister.
The second activity had just been launched, and Yan Qing hadn't started it yet. After she finished her meal, the activity organized by the guild was already halfway through. Someone in the group asked again if a second one would be organized, so she copied it as well.
[Coal Balls I Love to Eat]: I will organize it later. Anyone who hasn’t played can come.
The gang leader was grunting and commanding everyone. It was a new activity and everyone was a little unfamiliar with it, so it was more difficult to play. Some people who were waiting to be resurrected were checking their phones and mentioned it when they saw the message in the group.
The passionate voice just now suddenly became quiet.
Someone who didn't understand what was going on asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
"When did Meiqiu say in the group that he would organize an activity later?" Yan Qing could tell that the gang leader was gritting his teeth when he said this.
"Just now."
As soon as the words fell, everyone heard a curse.
Yan Qing put down his chopsticks and informed the others.
[Just Eat Spicy Hot Pot]: Alert! The gang leader is here to question you.
[Coal briquettes I love to eat]: Already here.
[My favorite coal balls]: [Screenshot].
You can see the gang leader's tone from the picture. He was extremely angry and asked why he didn't take him to participate in the event.
Yan Qing continued to eat. Just as he put the food into his mouth, he heard the system prompt sound. He looked up and saw Meiqiu entering the voice room, followed by a gang leader.
"Online."
"Ah, can you wait a moment? I'm still eating."
There was no response from the other end, but he seemed to check the time: "It's almost nine o'clock. What are you eating?"
Yan Qing was confused and answered truthfully: "Dinner, I didn't have time to eat last night."
The other party didn't ask any more questions, but reminded her: "Call me after you finish eating."
Before Yan Qing could say anything, they both went out. At this time, the private chat also started.
[Coal balls I love to eat]: Join me directly after eating.
Yan Qing ate her meal faster. The food here was indeed good, but the portion was too large, far beyond her usual appetite.
At exactly nine o'clock, Yan Qing controlled his account and appeared in the team on time.
[Just eat spicy hotpot]: Haven’t you started to recruit people yet?
[Coal balls I love to eat]: Come up.
Come up? Where to go? Then I heard a voice coming from the headphones. It turned out that we were going to change to another audio room.
A crowd of people had already gathered in the room.
"Join the group."
There are still a few people who haven't arrived yet. Yan Qing opened the guide and planned to do some preparation. He couldn't fall behind this time.
Ming Xu sat in front of the computer without saying a word, occasionally answering a phone call to perfunctorily deal with Yang Mingzhou's dissatisfaction: "If you want to come, join the group."
Yan Qing took screenshots of the key points in the guide and sent them to Meiqiu: "These are the key points, please take a look. You probably haven't had time to read them yet, right?" She was a little nervous, afraid that she was wasting her time.
“No.”
Everyone in the gang who was chatting was shocked by the emotionless words, and no one spoke for a while.
Looking at the last person joining the group, Meigu said: "Let me tell you the key points."
Yan Qing listened carefully, and gradually found that what he said was exactly the same as what he had in his screenshot, so he quietly sent a private message.
[Just eat spicy hotpot]: You are not reading it out loud, are you?
[Coal Balls I Love to Eat]: Well, yours is quite comprehensive.
Hearing this, Yan Qing felt a little complacent. It seemed that she had found the right things. Then she could do future activities on her own without bothering him anymore. Thinking of this, she became more confident in her new article.
Half an hour later, everyone left happily with their bags full of loot.
Yan Qing wanted to catch a pet, so she planned to tell him that she would go alone. After all, she had already found all the strategies and had almost updated her equipment recently, so she was not afraid of being beaten.
Coal briquettes that love to eat: "Wait, I'll go with you."
Afraid that Yan Qing didn't understand, he added, "I want to catch the pet too."
"OK."
After he finished speaking, he turned off the microphone and didn't know where to go. Yan Qing could only wait boredly on the voice call.
[Coal Balls I Love to Eat]: My mom is calling. She’ll talk to you later.
Yan Qing sat in front of the computer, not quite understanding why Meiqiu suddenly wanted to go pet catching with him. He had obviously never done these leisure activities before. He had heard the gang leader mention during a chat that before she appeared, most of Meiqiu's activities were done by others. Unfortunately, that someone else was the gang leader who was bored every day, and he did it under the pretext of finding him something to do.
Before he could figure it out, Coal Ball came back and asked, "Which one are you going to catch first?"
And in what order? Before she could say anything, a teasing voice came from the headset: "You're not planning on just catching whoever you can, are you?"
Isn't it? Yan Qing nodded, "Yes." Justified, isn't that what everyone does?
"What kind of guide are you looking for? Idiot guide." Meigu clicked on the map, "Follow me."
Before this, Yan Qing had only caught pets twice. The first time, she was beaten up. The second time was smoother, but she spent the whole night trying and didn't catch any. She was so angry that she said she would never catch one again. This time, Zhou Mingshu sent her his complete pet encyclopedia. Yan Qing was so envious that she suddenly wanted to try again.
Not hearing the sound of the hot pot, Coal Ball began to urge her: "What are you standing there for? Follow me."
The two of them ran all over the map. After half an hour, Yan Qing felt a little dizzy and his initial morale had wilted: "We didn't catch a single one."
Coal Ball became more and more interested: "Don't worry, one will come out eventually."
"How many pets do you need?"
Looking at his fully lit pet encyclopedia, Meiqiu paused holding the mouse, his expression a little stiff, and answered irrelevantly: "Didn't you see it when you logged in?"
"No."
"one."
The two of them touched the last pet. Yan Qing had completely lost interest at this point, and spoke lazily, no longer holding on to any hope: "After catching this, we can go to sleep."
Suddenly, a pattern popped up on the screen and startled her, scaring away the sleepyhead: "Got it!"
Listening to the cheering voices in the headphones, he also felt happy.
This was the first pet she caught. Yan Qing happily took a screenshot and posted it in the guild group, and immediately received congratulations from everyone.
Looking at the messages in the group, she casually asked, "They said this pet is hard to catch. I didn't expect to catch it on my first try. I don't know how long it will take to get the complete illustrated guide."
"If you take it slow, you'll get everything."
"That's right." Yan Qing was already immersed in the joy of being the lucky one.
Meiqiu glanced at the time and reminded her: "It's almost twelve o'clock."
Everyone in the dormitory was playing games. Yan Qing hadn't noticed the time. Unexpectedly, it was already so late. She immediately closed the game: "Then I'll quit! Good night."
"good evening."
This was the first time the two said good night to each other. Looking at the empty voice room, Ming Xu's mouth curled up and his eyes were full of smiles.
From then on, Yan Qing had one more regular activity every day. When Meigu was free, she would go with her, and when she was not free, Yan Qing would go alone.
After Xiao Xiao Yu Ni heard that she was catching a pet, she made a lot of food props for her.
Looking at the two full pages of captured animals in the atlas, Yan Qing sent a picture to someone who hadn't been online for several days.
The reply came almost instantly.
[Coal Balls I Love to Eat]: You caught so many, that’s amazing.
[Just eat spicy hot pot]: Thanks to your guide, I avoided a lot of detours.
Looking at her compliment, Ming Xu no longer had the anger he had just felt because of work, even though he knew it was just a casual remark.
[Coal briquettes that I love to eat]: You can’t do without me.
[Just eat spicy hotpot]: Of course, you are the guide of my game, I definitely can’t do it without you.
The two people's intentions were completely different, and Yan Qing didn't notice it at all.
Xiaoxiao Yu Ni's senior sister didn't cause any more trouble and would occasionally play with other people in the gang.
The incident happened on the last night of an event. The gang leader organized a team building as usual. After the event, everyone was free to do what they wanted. Someone who loved to have fun posted photos of offline team building activities of other gangs in the group, and everyone was envious.
"When will our guild have its team building?"
"Boss! Let's do some team building! Which city are you all in?"
It would be nice if we could play together offline. Everyone is interested. The gang leader is in Haicheng, and the management nanny is in Jiangcheng. Most of them are in the southern coastal cities, and there are very few in the north.
Yan Qing didn't speak in the group, but chatted privately with Meiqiu.
[Just eat spicy hot pot]: Coal ball brother! Are you also in Haicheng?
[Coal briquettes that I love to eat]: Yeah.
It is true.
[Coal Balls I Love to Eat]: Why are you asking this suddenly?
[Just eat spicy hotpot]: The group said they wanted to get together offline, and everyone talked about their own cities, so I just asked casually.
He asked back: Where are you?
[I'm in North City, quite far away from you all.]
Yan Qing didn't want to participate in the team building. If it really happened, she would probably not go back. She originally played games for the purpose of writing, and now that the new book is almost ready, she has to shorten the time she spends playing games, or simply not play at all.
The topic in the group changed again, from the city to everyone.
Yan Qing didn't look at it for long. He put down his phone and planned to go to bed early because he had to go to class early the next day.
In the early morning, the phone next to the pillow lit up several times without anyone noticing.
The next morning, Yan Qing was awakened by his roommate's screams. It was white outside. It was snowing in the north city.
She stood on the balcony holding a toothbrush and looked into the distance. This was the first snow in the north city this winter. It was so heavy that she could not see the houses in the distance.
Looking at the photos on his phone, Ming Xu looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly, and the coat he would wear outside was scattered on the sofa.
[Just eat spicy hot pot]: The first snow in the north city.
[Coal Balls I Love to Eat]: It looks really nice. I hope I can have a chance to go to Beicheng to see the snow.
You and I, okay?
