Chapter 24 Chapter 24 "Call the waiter over,...

"Call the waiter over and order one for yourself." Chu Lingyu was silent for two seconds and then spoke slowly.

Wen Qian fell into deep thought.

Even if another portion was brought to her, she couldn't eat it, and couldn't even put it into her own bowl. She still had to rely on Chu Lingyu.

"If you order another portion, could you help put it in my bowl?" She extended her index finger and gently pushed her bowl of noodles.

Chu Lingyu's eyelids twitched. He had to be the one to move the chopsticks no matter what, right?

He looked up at Wen Qian. The man in front of him was propped up with his arms, supporting his face with his wrists as if he had no bones. His eyes were fixed on the steak in front of him. He looked expressionless and a little pitiful.

Chu Lingyu suddenly felt a strange emotion in his heart. He tilted his head and raised his hand to push the plate in front of him towards her.

"for you."

When it comes to taking advantage of others, Wen Qian is a natural learner.

She didn't move and continued to look at Chu Lingyu.

Chu Lingyu's eyes flickered, and he looked away calmly. His kindness only went so far.

Chu Lingyu, who thought he was firm in his attitude, and Xiao Wen, who was very patient, were in a stalemate, and an unspeakable silence spread in this small space.

The difference was that Wen Qian had quietly reached out to grab the boy's wrist which was resting on the edge of the table, while Chu Lingyu still had his head tilted, unaware of all this.

There was no movement on the table. Chu Lingyu's eyes moved, and when he wanted to take a look, he paused very deliberately.

The cool touch on his wrist made him tense his muscles for a moment. He ignored the little persistence in his heart and looked up.

"What are you doing!" The cold and hard tone was very oppressive, but no one took it seriously.

Wen Qian nodded solemnly at him: "Don't worry, I'll be fine soon. I won't trouble you for too long."

As he spoke, he acted as seriously as if he was controlling a puppet, and tried to use Chu Lingyu's hand to put the beef into his bowl.

Chu Lingyu took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "Let go, I can do it myself."

Although she didn't use much strength, he felt his wrist go numb and subconsciously tried to divert his attention with other things.

The boy had an unhappy face, but his hands were very careful as he cut the steak into bite-sized pieces.

When he picked it up with a fork, he paused and put the beef into the bowl of noodles with a nonchalant expression.

"Okay, you can eat the rest yourself!"

The meeting bowl suddenly went from unlocked to unlocked. Wen Qian's eyes lit up and he quickly took the bowl back.

The only thing left was the young man who was about to fork the next piece of beef and paused in shock.

Seeing Wen Qian, whose attention was completely focused on the bowl of noodles and who didn't even glance at him, Chu Lingyu tightened his grip on the knife and fork.

His throat rolled, and he looked at Wen Qian with murderous eyes: "...Are you kidding me?"

Xiao Wen, who was chewing, said: "Hmm?"

Why are you suddenly angry again?

She looked at the unhappy boy, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then pushed her bowl of noodles forward with reluctance on her face.

"Then I'll give you a bite too... just one bite!"

Chu Lingyu: ...

I was a little angry and laughed.

——————

Jiang Zhi glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist, looked up casually, and walked into the restaurant on the street.

The owner of the noodle shop didn't open the door. It seemed that the shop was only open for business the first time he went there. The owner didn't open the shop at other times.

He had been planning to use that noodle shop with good food as his canteen, but he had no choice but to change the place to have lunch.

As he walked into the restaurant, a smiling waiter came towards him, and Jiang Zhi followed behind him with an indifferent expression.

The restaurant is decorated in a simple and elegant style. There are not many guests seated there, and the hall seems a little empty.

The figure in the corner was too familiar. He paused and frowned.

Why is Chu Lingyu here?

Jiang Zhi frowned. If he met him, he would not be able to eat his meal in peace.

He stopped and didn't go any further. He just found a compartment with a restricted view and sat down.

He picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes. While waiting for the food to be served, Jiang Zhi unconsciously turned the metal ring on his finger. When his eyes fell on the girl opposite Chu Lingyu, his eyes moved.

Is it her?

The scene when he met her in the noodle shop left a deep impression on him, but after that the noodle shop was only open at night, and he never met her again.

Does she know Chu Lingyu?

The girl raised her hand and held Chu Lingyu's wrist, and Jiang Zhi saw him cutting steak for her.

He casually withdrew his gaze and snorted. It turned out to be Chu Lingyu's girlfriend.

Wen Qian felt that his relationship with Chu Lingyu was extraordinary. It was rare to see an NPC who was so helpful and had helped her so much.

Can't let it go!

"Will you be my friend?" the player who was trying to get the other person to appear in his friend list asked seriously.

Chu Lingyu was stunned as he didn't expect to hear such a sentence before leaving. He subconsciously thought of the love letter that the other party handed him when they first met.

"Want to start as friends with me?" He lazily stood at the door of the store. "Don't think too much. I can't possibly agree to that."

【Your friend request has been rejected】

Wen Qian's face suddenly fell, and he walked around Chu Lingyu twice as if no one was around.

"Strange, is there something wrong with the favorability?"

She propped her chin up and looked at the person in front of her thoughtfully: "I thought we had a good relationship. What on earth is going on with this favorability assessment?"

Chu Lingyu stood a little stiffly, looking down at Wen Qian who was circling around him and suddenly approaching him, trying his best to restrain himself from avoiding her gaze.

Suddenly getting so close, doesn't she have any sense of distance?

"I understand. I'll give you a gift tomorrow, no, next week!" Wen Qian suddenly realized that if the favorability level is not high enough, he can use props to increase it!

When the time comes, I will give him two irises and see if he dares to reject her friend request.

As for why next week... She only has a few irises now, and I feel a little sad to give them to her. I'll wait until she has saved up a few more.

Chu Lingyu was stunned: "You know my birthday?"

He frowned: "Who told you that?"

Only a few people know his real birthday, and the date that is now widely circulated in the college is not his real birthday.

Where did she get this news? Chu Lingyu looked at Wen Qian with a dark look in his eyes and a bad expression on his face.

If she was also arranged to come here like those people...

"What, it's your birthday next week!"

The person in front of him showed an expression that was even more surprised than his.

Chu Lingyu's expression froze. She didn't know, so what did she say about giving a gift?

So what does this mean? He just let it slip?

Wen Qian looked even more excited than the person whose birthday was about to be celebrated, and she held his arm tightly.

"That's great. I'll have to prepare well when the time comes. I'll be looking forward to it!"

Chu Lingyu suddenly felt a little awkward: "Are you happy?"

"Of course!" Wen Qian nodded heavily, "I will start looking forward to that day from today!"

As we all know, when important NPCs in the game have birthdays, players will receive gifts.

Yes, that’s right, this is the rule of the game!

Wen Qian looked at Chu Lingyu as if he was looking at a big gift package with a one-week countdown on it.

I wonder what rewards this gift pack will give me. I’m really looking forward to it!

It just so happens that I don’t need to send the irises I was planning to give him in advance. I can send them on his birthday, which will also make up for the birthday gift.

Xiao Wen has taken his thrifty nature to the extreme.

Chu Lingyu just felt uncomfortable, perhaps because he had never faced other people's enthusiasm so directly.

This inexplicable enthusiasm did not seem fake. She looked at him with sincere and warm eyes, as if his birthday was a very important day to her.

"A birthday is a big deal, you must prepare well." Wen Qian instructed carefully, "I will also prepare a gift for you."

One iris should be enough, right? If not, add another.

Maybe by then, sending gifts will increase your favorability and even your friend request will be approved!

Double happiness!

"It's my birthday, do you really need to tell me so much?" Chu Lingyu raised an eyebrow. "...Okay, stop looking at me like that. Got it."

He pressed Wen Qian's shoulders and forced her to change direction.

"Let's go, I'll take you back."

"Hey? Aren't you going back to school?"

"I'm afraid someone will be stupid enough to hang themselves from the railing again." He sneered, "I don't want to see you hanging there all night when I leave tomorrow."

The process of climbing over the wall was very smooth, so smooth that Wen Qian couldn't figure out how he got there before.

She walked towards the teaching building without stopping, and when she approached the classroom, she attracted many strange and surprised looks.

As if wondering why she was still in school.

"Throw away her schoolbag. It hurts my eyes to see this cheap stuff in the classroom." A slightly shrill voice sounded.

A burst of laughter followed, and the male student responded to the girl's words in a nonchalant tone, "Why are you just talking and not doing anything?"

He walked over to the empty desk, picked up his schoolbag from the desk, and leaned against the window, "Let the cleaning lady worry about it."

As he said that, he opened the window and prepared to throw the schoolbag out.

Even faster than him was the can that flew in from the classroom door.

The twisted can hit the back of the boy's head at an extremely fast speed. His eyes blurred and the schoolbag in his hand fell down. When it was about to hit the ground, a slender hand caught the schoolbag that was about to fall to the ground.

The laughter in the classroom stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the uninvited guest.

Wen Qian picked up the can with another dent, and ignored the looks of others, just looking at the person who took her schoolbag in surprise.

After pondering for a moment, she said in a serious tone, "So... there are thieves in the classroom too!"

Such special events will indeed be triggered in the daily game. After catching the thief, you can go to the police to exchange for rewards, just like what happened at the barbecue stall before.

But she didn't expect that such a special plot would be triggered in school.

Oh my god, she actually left her backpack in such a dangerous environment! !

Players who had never imagined that the game would have such a shady trick were shocked.

"She wasn't expelled?"

"What is she doing? She's crazy!"

The whispers in her ears did not attract Wen Qian's attention. She looked around carefully and found with regret that there was no alarm like the stall alarm in the classroom.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself."

The players, who were very good at hands-on work, stepped on the desks to tear down the curtains, and diligently tried to use the curtains as ropes to catch the thief.

"Do you know who I am?" The male classmate, who had just come to his senses, stared at Wen Qian in front of him with a fierce look on his face but a weak heart.

Wen Qian didn't care at all. Thieves all like to say this kind of clichés. The person who stole her grilled fish even said that the grilled fish appeared in his hands by itself.

Who would listen to a thief's excuses?

Wrapped up, Wen Qian looked at the mummy-like masterpiece in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

artwork!

"Is there anyone willing to help call the police?" The player looked at the classmates around him who had suddenly become silent.

There was a hint of reluctance in her tone: "If you help call the police, I can give you half of the reward. No, I'll give you some."

When Lin Huai walked into the classroom, he saw a chaotic scene. He frowned and looked at Wen Qian.

"Wen Qian, you're here at school?" He walked quickly towards her. When he saw the silkworm chrysalis beside her, his expression paused. "What is this?"

"This is a bonus." Wen Qian extended his hand to Lin Huai, "Do you have your cell phone with you? Lend it to me."

Lin Huai felt like something was wrong, but he still took out his cell phone.

"What bonus? What are you doing here?" he asked puzzled.

Wen Qian dialed the police number quickly, and the familiar voice of the police NPC was heard on the other end of the line.

"Hello, it's me again." Her tone was full of respect for the prize. "You're a thief again. Come quickly. Thank you."

She put down the phone and turned around to be met with looks of astonishment from her classmates.

Um?

The mental quality of the NPCs this time is not good. How could they be scared like this by a thief?

The player slowly shook his head, not as brave as those customers who bought barbecue.
