Chapter 9 009 Love

Chi Du arrived in Yucheng at noon the next day, taking the team's special car. When he arrived, Xu Tingwan specially calculated the time to pick him up. The sun was very strong at noon, and she was unable to stand due to the sun, but she was still overjoyed when she saw his face in the car window.

"Late crossing!"

Xu Tingwan waved at him, and Chi Du jumped down the stairs and walked towards her. He was still wearing the WG team uniform, and the baseball cap on his head concealed his expression. He took off the hat and straightened his hair while walking towards her.

"Sister, how long have you been waiting? Why didn't you tell me?"

There was a burst of cheering behind him. Xu Tingwan touched the tip of his nose and smiled, "I didn't wait long. I welcomed you. It's a surprise."

Chi Du hadn't seen her for about a week. The long-awaited meeting made him feel a little nostalgic and he wanted to stay with her longer.

Her face was flushed, and the white dress she wore flattered her figure. The irregular hem revealed her dazzlingly white calves, and her collarbone and arms were a little red from the sun.

Chi Du glanced away and pointed at the car, "I'll go get an umbrella. Can you wait for me for a while, sister?"

Xu Tingwan blinked, pulled his arm and pointed at the hat in his hand, "A hat will do. I'm not that squeamish."

Chi Du paused, reduced the size of the baseball cap and put it on her head, "Is it okay?"

"Okay, okay." Xu Tingwan smiled from ear to ear, lifting the brim of her hat with one hand to look at him, "I just have to trouble you to bask in the sun for a while."

Chi Du curled his lips and said, "I prefer basking in the sun."

Chi Du walked in a sunny place, trying his best to block some of the sunlight for her. Yulin City was extremely hot today, as if it was trying to catch the tail of summer and release heat with all its might.

"Has my sister eaten yet?"

"Not yet. Do you want to eat out or stay at home?"

Chi Du’s hat was still a little big for her, so she had to raise her head and push up the brim of the hat every time she talked to him.

Chi Du pretended to think, "Home, I've been eating out for two days."

Xu Tingwan stopped and looked at the base not far behind him. "Do you want to call your teammates to come with you?"

Chi Du said without even turning his head, "No, they're not hungry."

“…”

*

Xu Tingwan didn't turn off the air conditioner when he left. The moment he entered the door, he felt like he was redeemed.

“You’ll get sick.”

After Chi Du changed his shoes, he saw her lying on the sofa.

Xu Tingwan blinked and said, "Occasionally, not just once."

"……Um."

Chi Du was wearing slippers and wanted to go wash his hands, but he remembered something and turned back. "Didn't Xu Tingyan start school? Is he coming?"

Xu Tingwan tilted his head, "When did you become so familiar with him?"

Chi Du didn't follow what she meant. After a few seconds of hesitation, he wanted to explain, and then he saw Xu Tingwan calling Xu Tingyan and holding the phone in front of him. Her warm fingers grabbed his arm, as if to stop him from leaving.

"Xu Tingwan, what are you doing? I'm staying home."

The person on the other end spoke in a hurry and with helplessness.

Xu Tingwan: "Your brother is looking for you."

Chi Du: “?”

Silence fell on the other end of the line, and after a few seconds, a long, drawn-out "Oh" sounded. "Chi Du? What's wrong? What do you want from me? Oh, I haven't congratulated you on making the playoffs yet. Keep up the good work in the playoffs. Brother Chi Du, I'm telling you, you'll definitely win the championship this time. Ignore the online haters. What do they know? They're just jealous of you because you're handsome and talented. What do they know about games? They definitely don't know how awesome you are. By the way, are the playoffs all held in North City?"

Chi Du subconsciously looked at Xu Tingwan. She had no expression, but she made Chi Du feel an inexplicable chill. "...Yes, the playoffs are all in North City."

"Then I must go. I'll sit in the backfield and hold up a banner to cheer you on."

"……good."

"By the way, Brother Chidu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Chi Du's eyes kept turning, sometimes looking at Xu Tingwan and sometimes looking at his phone, "...It's okay, I just want to ask you what you are doing."

After hearing this, Xu Tingwan finally smiled and turned her gaze to him.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Tingwan raised his eyes and asked, "So you came back with me because you thought Xu Tingyan was home?"

Chi Du: ...

What can he say about this?

He just missed her a little and wanted to spend more time with her...

"No, I...I want to go to Glory and want my sister to take me."

Chi Du's mind raced, and he could only manage this sentence. He regretted it the moment he said it, because Xu Tingwan kept laughing at him.

"I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs. Can you make it?"

Xu Tingwan thought he was really cute, but she knew when to advance and when to retreat and couldn't push him too hard, so she could only change the subject.

Chi Du nodded, "Yes, are there any spare ribs in the refrigerator?"

"Yes, I bought it. There are all kinds of vegetables."

“…”

*

Xu Tingwan had a very happy meal. She had never felt so happy while eating. If she hadn't been so full at the end, she would definitely have eaten for another hour while talking to Chi Du.

After finishing the meal, Xu Tingwan helped him clean up the table, but was stopped by Chi Du, "Sister, can you help me play a game?"

Xu Tingwan paused, "Can I help you fight?"

Chi Du cleared the dishes and nodded, "The club has assessments every month. At the end of the month, the statistics are compiled and ranked according to your peak competition scores and ranks. The top three will receive rewards."

"What reward?"

"Two hundred yuan."

“…”

Xu Tingwan looked at him, "So you plan to hand over your bonus assessment to me?"

"Why not?"

“…”

Her heartbeat began to race again. Xu Tingwan bit her lower lip. Chi Du had already handed her the phone. "It's not a professional number, so don't worry. If you lose, it's my fault."

Xu Tingwan took the phone in a daze, glanced at the homepage, and followed him into the kitchen. "Do you really want me to call?"

Chi Du threw the question to her, "Sister, do you want to play?"

“…”

Xu Tingwan couldn't resist the temptation when she saw his appearance, because he was so cute when he asked for her opinion obediently, and she really couldn't stand Chi Du like this.

In the end, she started a ranked match in a daze. She didn't even have the courage to start the peak match.

After entering, I didn't expect to hit a split lane. Looking at the ID, the person in the middle should be a couple. Their floor was higher, and the one on the first floor directly took the middle lane without even communicating.

Xu Tingwan was a little confused, but she still helped to grab the last position and waited for the replacement. She didn't expect that what was left for her was a confrontation.

She had never played a competitive game, but she knew how to play Diao Chan. She locked Diao Chan at the last second, but unexpectedly, the shooter started typing and accusing her.

Shooter: "There's no frontline, what can you do by picking Diao Chan?"

This is not her own account. Xu Tingwan pursed her lips and chose to remain silent. The opponent had a lot of control, so she changed her skills to purification.

Everything was calm in the game, and the turning point began when the opponent teleported to the bottom lane for support.

She was constantly being suppressed in the early stages, with no one taking care of her, so clearing lanes and providing support were very slow. When she went down that wave, her teammates had already been wiped out, and they were even wiped out in a four-on-three situation with their own jungler present.

Then she found that there seemed to be someone talking in the receiver. At first she thought she had misheard and even amplified the sound. This was not her phone so she was a little confused. She accidentally turned up the volume to the maximum and dirty words came out.

Xu Tingwan's hands trembled, and she quickly turned down the volume and hung up the receiver. At this time, Chi Du came over from the kitchen and brought her a bottle of soda and placed it in front of her. "How is it?"

I don't know if he heard it or not...

Xu Tingwan was actually a little angry, but she still controlled her emotions and smiled at Chi Du, "It's okay..."

It's useless.

She looked at the economic panel and saw that the microphone was still on.

Xu Tingwan pursed her lips, unable to bear it any longer. When the marksman entered the teamfight and died, she showed off her skills alone and cooperated with the support to win the teamfight. The moment the "team wipe" announcement came out, she looked up at Chi Du and said to him, "Can I curse?"

Chi Du paused and nodded, "Of course, you can play however you want."

Then, Chi Du saw her turn on the microphone, turning on the microphones for the entire team, and speaking clearly and fluently but with great aggressiveness.

"Bark, bark again."

"Is it any use? Take a look at your own level."

"Are you feeling guilty and eager to show off in front of your girlfriend? Tell me what I did wrong?"

"Did they steal my lane at the beginning without communicating with me, or did I withstand the pressure in the top lane and end up fighting five people?"

"Speak, why don't you speak?"

"I'll let you talk."

“…”

Chi Du glanced at the turned-off receiver and looked at her silently.

The moment the crystal exploded, Xu Tingwan exclaimed and shoved the phone into Chi Du's hand, "Am I powerful?"

Chi Du didn't touch his phone, but looked at her quietly, "Very impressive."

Xu Tingwan finally calmed down a bit. Did she just curse in front of Chi Du?

The king has done great harm to others.

Xu Tingwan took a sip of soda and opened his phone. "Do you want to play more?"

Chi Du: "Do you want to play?"

Xu Tingwan rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I want to play."

"Then play."

Chi Du looked at the screen of his mobile phone, and suddenly a friend request popped up on it. He had just watched the game and had some impression of it. This should be the mid laner in the game played by Xu Tingwan.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, little sis."

Chi Du glanced up at Xu Tingwan, hesitating whether to say it.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Tingwan was in a good mood while drinking soda.

"Someone added you."

Xu Tingwan paused, and Chi Du handed her the phone, on which another message popped up.

"I'm really sorry, miss."

"I'm sorry for grabbing the points without communicating with you."

“…”

Wangzhe could only send fifteen words each time he applied, so she explained it to her one by one. Xu Tingwan sighed and replied in her own way.

"fine."

Just two simple words, Xu Tingwan was almost stunned by his own handsomeness.

"Sister is not angry anymore?"

"Of course I'm not angry. Why would I be angry with such a person?"

When Xu Tingwan said she wasn't angry, she really wasn't angry, but she didn't expect that the angriest person could be Chi Du.

That night he returned to the team to start a live broadcast, but he used a nested doll to cover Hua Nian's live broadcast. The person in the small frame was playing with his phone with his head down.

Originally, Xu Tingwan thought it was nothing, as competitors would often create some effects to increase the length of their programs, but what she couldn't understand was why the camera had to be turned on.

She fiddled with her phone and saw Chi Du's small account was online. It showed that the game had been started for ten minutes and he did not close the record. When Xu Ting went in later, it was all 1V1.

Xu Ting suddenly realized something and joined the game later.

really.

He had been dueling with the man who had pressured her that afternoon.

Xu Tingwan's hands were shaking. She had never felt so nervous before, and she didn't understand what she was afraid of.

I called him anxiously, and the screen projection on the computer was immediately turned off, and then his voice came from the phone.

"elder sister."

"Late crossing."

The two voices rang out at the same time. Xu Tingwan squeezed her palms and said softly, "I'm not angry, Chi Du. There are many people like this in the game. I don't care."

"But I care."

Chi Du's tone was very stubborn and firm.

"I care about your feelings. I don't want you to get hurt, not by anyone."

A string in my heart suddenly broke, and what burst out was an unexpected carnival.

"Then what do you want to say, Chi Du."

Xu Tingwan waited for his answer.

"I think I've fallen in love with you."

Xu Tingwan's eyes suddenly widened, and she covered her lips with her hands, suppressing the scream that was muffled in her throat.

"Is it okay, sister?"

His voice was a little shaky.

"Can what?"

"Can...can I like you?"

Another word of temptation.

“When will your live broadcast end?”

“…Eleven o’clock.”

"Can I come out then?"

"...Okay, I don't have anything to do today, I can just ask the team leader for leave."

"Chi Du, let's meet today."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, the screen projection that had been turned off on the computer was turned on again, but it was just the game interface, with nothing else except the sound of the game.

After watching him start playing the peak game, Xu Tingwan rushed into the bedroom to find clothes with peace of mind.

The wardrobe is full of colors. She prefers to mix and match colors. Red and green are both low-key in her eyes. But now she dislikes the exquisiteness and earthiness of these clothes.

Not good looking at all.

The colors are too bright.

What on earth could have made her like this?

She quickly turned the closet upside down and finally found the blue skirt she had hidden away in the bottom of the closet.

She had never worn this skirt before because she thought the color was too monotonous, but now she took it out and saw it, she liked it very much.

Monotony is good. A 22-year-old boy likes monotony.

She quickly changed and looked in the mirror. The dress was of great texture, a sea salt blue and white dress with puff sleeves and a slanted slit. In order to make it look appropriate, Xu Tingwan found two blue hairpins and pinned them on her head. She also put on a simple touch of makeup. She had a light complexion and a strong body, so her beauty was impactful enough without makeup.

After finishing all these, she walked into the living room and found that the live broadcast on the computer had been turned off and the time showed ten minutes ago.

Xu Tingwan was a little anxious. She didn't expect that she was so slow. She rushed downstairs. Her heartbeat recognized the figure under the street light first. Chi Du turned around when he heard the movement and walked towards her the moment he saw her.

Xu Tingwan stood there, and only came back to her senses when he came in front of her and smiled at him.

"elder sister."

Chi Du lowered his eyes and spoke, like a wilted Samoyed. Xu Tingwan couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his head.

"Does my dress look good?"

Xu Tingwan withdrew his hand and asked him.

Chi Du looked at her, his eyes did not move, always on her smiling face, "It looks good, sister, you look good in anything."

"The sweet and sour pork ribs you made today are delicious, but I don't know how to make them."

"I'll do it for you."

"But what if you're not in Yucheng anymore? Do I have to wait for you to come?"

Chi Du couldn't figure out her thoughts, so he just answered according to his heart, "If you want, I can teach you, or I can do it for you. No matter where I am, as long as you want, I will come to you."

Xu Tingwan tiptoed, her voice relaxed and gentle, "I like a fast-paced life. Before you, I could take care of myself even if I didn't cook. I'm also very impatient. I might not be able to wait for you to come to me before I give up eating this dish. Because rather than relying on others, I still enjoy the pleasure of being in control of myself. You don't understand me, you don't know what color I like, you don't know what I like to eat, you don't know if I like milk tea or fruit tea, you don't know what I'm like underneath my appearance, you don't know my past, and you don't know my future plans..."

Chi Du lowered his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and looked very depressed.

"Before you, I really enjoyed this kind of life, but you appeared without any warning, like a shooting star across the sky. No matter where you are, I am willing to stay for you. I never thought that there would be a day when I would give a stranger the opportunity to understand me."

Chi Du suddenly looked up and looked at her with bright eyes.

"If you're serious, I don't mind taking the initiative."

"Chi Du, I want you to understand me. I want you to be in my life. I like you. Let's fall in love."

Early autumn in August marks the beginning of their love cycle.
