Chapter 56: Rookie

Before she could feel guilty, she saw Shi Jingyuan pushing something towards the cart with a guilty look on his face.

Lin You was stunned, and rummaged around in the cart, finding the things he had hidden very accurately.

A pair of black and white men's slippers.

Shi Jingyuan cleared his throat and said, trying to cover up his mistake:

"I just feel that I have to take you home soon, and you don't have men's slippers at home..."

Lin You interrupted expressionlessly, "No need to explain."

It's just a pair of slippers, she can't be so stingy.

Being interrupted by him, she forgot what she was worrying about before.

*

The person who originally claimed that he was just sending her home, entered her house openly under the pretext of trying on slippers.

There is only a double sofa in the small living room.

Shi Jingyuan put his coat on the armrest of the sofa and watched the game quietly while holding Hu Baoer.

He was watching intently, looking as if he had no intention of leaving.

The degree of his shamelessness once again refreshed Lin You's cognition.

You can't drive him away, you can't hit him, and you can't scold him.

Lin You simply ignored him, took out his cell phone, sat on the other end of the sofa, and opened the game he often played.

During the live broadcast of the football game on TV, there was the cheering of fans at one moment and the wailing of the commentator at another.

When you break through the enemy fortress, a passionate music will be played on the mobile phone screen.

During the few seconds of waiting for resurrection after the game character died, Lin You suddenly raised his eyes.

For a moment, she was surprised to find that this house where she had lived for two years had never been so lively and comfortable as it was now.

Obviously, the various sounds mixed together are a bit chaotic, but strangely, it makes people feel relaxed a little bit.

She turned to look at Shi Jingyuan.

The light coming in from the balcony just happened to fall on the side of his face.

Without the seriousness he has at work, he now exudes the calmness and warmth of home.

Shi Jingyuan noticed the gaze coming from the side, and turned his head slightly to meet her prying eyes.

He chuckled softly without saying anything, raised the hand that was petting the cat, and rubbed her head naturally.

Lin You: “…”

Being petted like a cat?

She glared at her and lowered her head to continue playing the game.

Not long after, she controlled her character to take over the enemy fortress and led her team to victory in this round.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at the game."

His teasing voice sounded beside her ear, and his breath sprayed on her earlobe when he spoke, which was a little warm and a little itchy.

Lin You shrank back slightly.

Shi Jingyuan's attention was still on the game she was playing, and he asked curiously:

"She looks delicate and frail, but when she plays the game, she's like a female warrior, killing everyone in her tracks."

Lin You pursed her lips and handed him the phone, "Can you play?"

Shi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and took the phone. "It's just a game. It's not a matter of whether I know it or not."

Then, less than a minute after he left the house, Mr. Shi was pinned to death at the gate of the base.

As expected.

Lin You calmly returned his earlier complaints to him.

"Boss Shi seems so powerful, but how come he plays the game like a rookie?"

Shi Jingyuan: “…”

He really refuses to take even a little loss.

However, Mr. Shi is not the kind of person who backs down when faced with difficulties. He immediately downloaded the game on his mobile phone.

"Take me with you to play."

Shi always speaks very naturally and affirmatively.

Lin You puffed out his cheeks and asked, "Why?"

Shi Jingyuan confidently handed over the phone and said, "Design sketches for Osgarmai's horticultural exhibition."

Lin You's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

Because of what happened during the morning visit, she only finished visiting one exhibition area and didn't have the chance to visit the others.

I originally thought that I had missed the opportunity to study, but I didn’t expect that things would turn out differently.

Shi Jingyuan nodded, "Really. Plus a dinner, and the design sketch is yours."

You are lucky to even have a look at the designs in the gardening exhibition. The design sketches are more professional than the works themselves and are obviously more valuable.

However, most designers will not show their sketches to others easily.

If the person who said this was not Mr. Shi, she would have suspected that this was another scam that required paying a large sum of money to have a child.

Seeing that she still didn't dare to believe it, Shi Jingyuan simply swiped the screen of his phone and opened the drawings that had been sent to him a few minutes ago on Sunday.

"See for yourself."

Lin You took the phone doubtfully, looked through it for a while, and then suddenly looked up.

Her eyes were shining.

"Mr. Shi..."

Shi Jingyuan took the opportunity to rub her head again, "Don't be so touched, it's not given to you for free. Take me to play games and I'll give you an extra dinner."

He reiterated his need.

But Lin You is not stupid.

The drawings were already on his phone, suggesting he had asked for them before making his request.

Saying that he was making a deal with her was just to make her feel at ease.

Lin You lowered his eyes for a moment, and when he looked up again, his eyes became clear again.

She nodded, immediately formed a team in the game, and pulled Shi Jingyuan into the team.

The game process was not as bumpy as imagined.

Although Mr. Shi started from a low point, he had a strong learning ability. Under the protection of the master Lin You, he was able to barely survive and win.

Pleasant times always pass by extremely quickly.

Shi Jingyuan was still not satisfied, but Lin You put down his phone and went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Without Lin You's protection in the game, Shi Zong would always die gloriously around the base within three minutes of the start of each game.

He quit the game with a gloomy face and called Qian Ling.

"I remember you have an e-sports club?"

Qian Ling was enjoying the sea breeze and sun at the beach. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Yes. My club is doing quite well. We just won the national championship in the spring competition."

Shi Jingyuan said gruffly, "Have the best player in your club come to my office on Monday."

Qian Ling was puzzled, "When did you become interested in e-sports?"

"just."

Shi Jingyuan said these two words and hung up the phone without hesitation.

Qian Ling was confused, then thought for a moment and thought he had guessed the truth.

Mr. Shi has started to pay attention to e-sports, so it seems that gaming concept stocks are going to rise sharply!

Qian Linghai no longer had the heart to enjoy the breeze, so he stood up and walked back, determined to find a professional to study the stock's rising trend.

*

Dinner was still two dishes and one soup.

Although the dishes have changed a bit, they still taste very special to Shi Jingyuan.

After dinner, it was getting dark.

Shi Jingyuan had no reason to stay any longer, so he took his coat and prepared to leave.

He stood at the door, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Lin You waited calmly for him to speak.

Shi Jingyuan hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help himself, "If you're scared at night, feel free to call me."

Lin You was shocked. She didn't expect that this was what he was going to say.

Can a person be afraid?

When Lin You was frightened in the past, he would indeed be in a daze the whole day.

And today, I spent the day in peace without realizing it.

So, he stayed on just to stay with her?
