"Are we still going to fight?" Qiao Ran asked again.

"If you don't have anything else to do, continue playing. If you have something else to do, I'll rush to play duo with Hang Ying."

Qiao Ran said that he was fine, and Pei Yan wanted to continue driving.

As a result, he saw Jiang Wenzhou walking down the stairs and now at the stairs, he waved at him mysteriously.

Pei Yan left the team, stood up and walked towards Jiang Wenzhou.

"You guys go ahead and play first. I have something to talk to the manager."

Zhao Jie had no objection and asked Qiao Ran, "What about the three rows?"

"Um."

——

After going upstairs, Pei Yan stopped.

"Why are you being so mysterious? Is there something you can't say downstairs? Or is there something weird going on on Weibo again?"

"No, there aren't so many weird things happening every day." Jiang Wenzhou pushed open the door of the conference room, waited for Pei Yan to enter, and handed a document to Pei Yan.

"This is Qiao Ran's information that I retrieved from the youth training student information."

Pei Yan took a quick glance and roughly understood Jiang Wenzhou's intention: "Qiao Ran's birthday is tomorrow?"

"I only found out after seeing the information," Jiang Wenzhou said. "Coach and I have already discussed this. This is Qiao Ran's first birthday on our team, and we want to celebrate it properly. Coach asked me to ask for your opinion."

"Ask me?" Pei Yan twisted the paper in his hand and pondered for a moment. "Do you mean by 'doing it right' you're not going to stick some inflated letter balloons around the base, then throw a firecracker in someone's hand, wait for Qiao Ran to wake up and come downstairs, then lash out at her, drag her over to cut the cake, sing her birthday song together, and try to make her cry, right?"

"Well... isn't that how we celebrate? What else can we do?"

Pei Yan was speechless for a moment: "Don't you think it's stupid? My distant nephew hasn't celebrated his birthday like this since he turned three..."

"Then why don't you tell me how to do it? It's easy for you to say..." Jiang Wenzhou rolled his eyes.

"You know Qiao Ran's personality. Making such a big fuss will only embarrass her." Pei Yan tapped the table twice. "Well, go back and talk to them one by one about this matter. Ask them to give a gift each and put it in Qiao Ran's room."

"What about the cake? It's not right to celebrate your birthday without cake, right?"

Pei Yan glanced at Jiang Wenzhou and said, "Why do I feel like you want to eat cake? Don't worry about the cake, I'll prepare it."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Jiang Wenzhou changed his tone, adding a hint of teasing, "Why do I feel like you have some selfish motives?"

——

Qiao Ran, who sent Hang Ying to Xingyao together with Sun Kai, didn't know that the others had secretly created a group behind his back to discuss what to give her.

Sun Kai was the last one to join the group because he had been playing games.

Kaiye Rises: Why did you create a group? What is this group for?

The cutest Fatty: The manager and coach said that tomorrow is Xiao Qiao’s birthday, so we shouldn’t make a big fuss and just prepare a small gift for each person, as long as the meaning is shown.

Tiancai Fan: I have no experience in giving gifts to girls... What are you guys planning to give me? I can give you some advice.

The cutest Fatty: I am a single mother and have no experience. Akai has a girlfriend, he must know.

Kai Ye is on the rise: Can giving gifts to a girlfriend be the same as giving gifts to a friend?

......

Everyone discussed it for a while but couldn't come to a conclusion. Zhao Jie did notice that someone was missing from the group.

The cutest Fatty: Why isn’t our captain in the group?

The worried old mother: Don’t ask, if you ask I mean I have other arrangements!

The former king: Just take care of yourselves. The things Pei Yan sends are always bad.

Tiancai Fan: That’s right… I checked the game controller that the captain gave me on my last birthday. It’s imported and costs tens of thousands!

The cutest Fatty: Stop it! Don't compare yourself to Xiao Qiao, you two are different~

......

Everyone was discussing the matter heatedly, with over 99 messages in the group updating.

As the person involved, Qiao Ran had even forgotten that tomorrow was her birthday. It was a rare occasion that she didn't have to train at night, so she watched other teams' game videos for a while, tidied up, and went to bed.

It was not until she woke up the next day that Qiao Ran received the message from Pei Yan.

Y: No training today. Come out with me. I have something to do.

The support also kills randomly: Good.

After Qiao Ran replied to the message, he imagined Pei Yan's businesslike tone in his head while hurriedly starting to wash up, feeling a little uneasy.

What could Pei Yan want her to do when he asked her to go out?

During the competition, Jiang Wenzhou probably wouldn't arrange any offline activities for them...

Qiao Ran couldn't figure it out, so she just gave up. After all, Pei Yan couldn't have tricked her out and sold her.

I packed myself up and went downstairs, but surprisingly everyone else was gone.

Pei Yan sat on the sofa, drinking coffee, with his tablet resting on his crossed legs. The sunlight from the window just happened to fall on him, making him look lazy and noble.

"Captain, good morning. Where are the others?" Qiao Ran looked around.

Normally, Pei Yan should be the only one who got up at this time.

"They went out for something." Pei Yan didn't plan to talk more with Qiao Ran.

"They're all out..." Qiao Ran murmured.

"There's breakfast prepared by Auntie on the table. It should still be hot. We can leave after we finish eating."

The only reaction in Qiao Ran's mind was that there might be some temporary group activity and she got up late, so the others left first, leaving Pei Yan here to wait for her.

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran felt a little guilty and finished his breakfast in two or three bites.

"Captain, I'm fine now. We can go now." Qiao Ran still had the last bite in his mouth and hadn't had time to swallow it, fearing that he would make Pei Yan wait too long.

Pei Yan turned off the tablet and glanced at Qiao Ran who was still chewing. His face, which was originally the size of a palm, was now stuffed full, like a hamster, which was a bit cute.

"Don't be so anxious, we have enough time." Pei Yan stood up, took a black hat from the side, and put it on Qiao Ran's head.

He turned around and handed Qiao Ran a black mask: "Now that you have fans, you can't go out so casually."

Does she have fans?

Qiao Ran hasn't paid much attention to the number of followers on his Weibo recently.

But since Pei Yan said so, it must be true, and there is no need for Pei Yan to lie to her.

She quickly adjusted her hat, put on her mask, and looked up at Pei Yan.

It seems to be asking if this is possible.

Pei Yan chuckled: "Not bad."

Then, he also put on a hat and a mask: "Let's go."

——

This time, Pei Yan was driving again, and Qiao Ran sat in the passenger seat.

"Captain, where are we going?" Qiao Ran couldn't help but ask.

"You'll know when we get there." Pei Yan was still keeping the secret.

Qiao Ran looked out the window. Their car blended into the traffic flow, occasionally passing one or two familiar streets.

Finally, Pei Yan drove the car to J University, greeted the guard and said something. The guard called to confirm and then opened the gate to let them pass.

Pei Yan drove the car into J University, found a parking space and parked the car.

"We're here, get off."

Qiao Ran unbuckled her seat belt. Until now, she still felt that Pei Yan was bringing her to participate in some event at J University.

It could be some college e-sports competition or something like that.

After getting off the bus, Qiao Ran discovered that Pei Yan was carrying a backpack.

To be honest, there is no sense of incongruity between the two of them hanging out among college students.

"Where are Brother Zhao and the others waiting for us?" Qiao Ran asked.

"Who told you that Zhao Jie and the others are here?"

"Aren't we here to participate in the event?"

Pei Yan felt that when Qiao Ran was stupid, he was really stupid.

"No, you'll know in a moment."

Qiao Ran followed Pei Yan to a teaching building.

Pei Yan glanced at the time and slightly quickened his pace.

Finally, they arrived at the lecture hall before class started, quietly entered through the back door, and sat in the back row.

The students in the front row were either whispering to each other; or reading novels or playing games with their heads down; or organizing textbook materials that they would use in class.

Pei Yan took out two stacks of photocopied documents from his bag and gave one to Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran looked at the information and asked uncertainly, "Shall we...come to class?"

"Yes, I'm here for class." Pei Yan smiled. "I finally got in through someone. I heard the professor is quite interesting, and there are usually quite a few students auditing."

Qiao Ran lowered her head to glance at the information, which seemed to be about game design. There were many professional terms in it, so a layman like her could only understand the basics.

"As you know, the team is busy and I can't handle both, so I'm temporarily taking a leave of absence. But... occasionally I want to return to campus and experience the scholarly atmosphere of Zhenzhen students."

Pei Yan's words were just to fool Qiao Ran.

He knew that Qiao Ran liked to keep everything to himself and had never told them why he didn't go to college and chose to play e-sports, but everyone could see that Qiao Ran was looking forward to college life.

Considering Qiao Ran's dignity, Pei Yan just said that he wanted to come.

Qiao Ran is always delicate and sensitive when it comes to matters like this.

She understood Pei Yan's intention almost instantly, and at the same time, a warm and sour feeling spread through her heart.

Qiao Ran quickly lowered her head and stared at the information in front of her. She was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would be seen by Pei Yan with red eyes.

The professor came in and the classroom became quiet instantly.

The professor took the roster and began to call out the names one by one.

Qiao Ran lay on the table, looking at the college students in front of him.

So, this is what college classes are like...

Pei Yan was here just to keep Qiao Ran company, he himself had no interest in these subjects at all.

There are indeed many high-achieving students in the e-sports circle who give up their studies to pursue their dreams, but that person is obviously not him.

Although he is not a bad student, his grades are just so-so, neither good nor bad, just barely passable. There is nothing to be embarrassed about admitting.

Every inch has its own strength.

His interest is not in studying, so it is natural that he does not study well.

It can be seen that Qiao Ran cherishes this opportunity very much. Even though she is just attending a class, she listens very carefully.

Pei Yan couldn't do it. He could still listen to a few sentences at the beginning, but as he listened more, his eyelids felt heavy.

Who said this professor's lectures were interesting? What was so interesting about them?

Several people have already fallen asleep in front!

Pei Yan supported his head with his hands and slowly closed his eyes.

The author has something to say:

You never thought that the male lead is not a top student in college! Hahahaha!

I'm on the love line these two days, and when this wave of love lines passes, it's time to compete again~

Let me think about how to play [thinking.jpg]
