Chapter 40 Chapter 40 That means I like you. He thought. …
Juan Qiu took a breath of cold air.
Did Shuangjiang say this?!
Frost has actually learned how to fry fish!
Lu Xing sighed quietly: "The reason, think about it, you have led us astray."
Wheat also said, "It's over, it's over. Shuangjiang, your lofty image in my mind is completely ruined."
Juan Qiu sighed: "The reason is that you have committed a serious sin!"
Gu Xingshuang: “…………”Is it that serious?
He reflected on himself.
He would say such things regardless of the reason.
His ideas are simple and down-to-earth.
Instead of wrestling with the big guys from other regions and getting those few points up and down, it would be better to just wait for two days, when the big guys' scores will be high, and they can directly rely on ordinary players to brush up their scores to reach high levels.
Anyway, I'm competing with those people for the top spots on the list. What difference does it make if I meet them earlier or later?
It’s better to relax for two more days and save some energy.
Gu Xingshuang was thinking about efficiency, not moral issues.
He realized later that there seemed to be suspicion of frying fish.
Ying Yuan sneered: "It's not like we forced them to grab the top spot in the game every day."
"In the past, when I was in the normal competitive rankings, I didn't go to the arena every day."
"Did they also work full time every day before?"
"They fought so hard, didn't they just want to be in the spotlight?"
What Ying Yuan said is right.
Now that there is a server-wide ranking list, when the arena ends every day, everyone will see who got the first place.
As a player from the same region on the list, I feel proud of it. I would like to brag about how awesome the boss is and congratulate him. The whole region is proud of him.
The number one on the list came out and took a few steps, humbly accepting the worship of everyone.
These players who usually only call the shots in their own area suddenly debuted in the entire game.
People live for face.
That's why they compete so fiercely.
Very normal.
Juan Qiu immediately flattered Yuan Yuan: "That's right, these guys just love to show off."
"Unlike us, the boss is low-key and profound, and we don't bother to compete with them for this empty face."
Ying Yuan snorted: "We have plenty of ways to get noticed. We don't need to be on the list to become famous."
"What's the hurry?"
Juanqiu: Grass.
That seems to be correct.
Everyone worships.
Ying Yuan has a point.
Lu Xing deliberately squeezed him: "It's Shuangjiang who is in the limelight, and you just have a sense of existence because of Shuangjiang's identity."
Ying Yuan raised his eyebrows and said without blushing or beating his heart: "I just like to be in the circle with Shuangshuang. I don't like it if it's not the circle with Shuangshuang."
"It's amazing that I have a big wife."
"You don't rub it because you don't like it?"
Lu Xing: It’s over, it’s over, this guy is completely shameless.
Lu Shiba, Juanqiu and Maizi all made sounds of disgust at the same time.
Ying Yuan: "Right, wife?"
Gu Xingshuang ignored him.
Ying Yuan was not embarrassed either, as they had just opened a copy and were already in the same line.
Since Frost Mai Li ignored him, he just stuck to Frost in the game.
Wherever Gu Xingshuang goes, he goes, like a sticky candy.
Others: It’s too shameful to watch.
Gu Xingshuang finally couldn't help it, and he said, "Move forward a little."
Ying Yuan said seriously: "No, I want to follow you."
Gu Xingshuang: “…” Sick.
In the game, he couldn't get rid of the cause and could only let it take effect.
Only when they reach the boss and kill monsters can Gu Xingshuang be alone in peace.
For a moment, it was hard to tell whether the villain was a small monster in the dungeon or an annoying cause.
The reason was that he had completed four copies of Gu Xingshuang in a row, and one of them was about to end.
He moved on to the next topic very easily.
While Ying Yuan was being intimate with Gu Xingshuang, he said to him, "Shuangshuang, you can play whenever you want. If they have to work overtime, I can find someone else."
"If anyone falls behind, we will find stronger teammates."
"Don't worry about what they think."
Lu Xing was the first to scream: "Fuck, you clicked on me."
Maizi said, "Tsk, it seems like I can't find someone else."
Juan Qiu: "That's right, do we really want to team up with you guys?"
Gu Xingshuang listened to their antics and knew very well that Ying Yuan was using this method to make things clear in advance.
They may find other people to team up with in the future.
After reading the forum, Lu Xing backed out. Juan Qiu and Mai Zi also went to read it and realized the seriousness of the situation.
Even if you don't care about the reason and Frost, there are still so many eyes watching you!
If the ranking is really bad, I don’t know how people in other districts will ridicule me.
Especially the onlooker function.
His heart is damnable.
Once they reach high ranks, they won't be able to escape, and will definitely be discussed by the entire server.
Just now when Gu Xingshuang said she wanted to fry the fish, they felt very involved.
They were feeling guilty and wondering if they had really held Frost back, so he even thought of using frying fish to gain points!
Is it because Frost is bringing these three with him that he doesn't dare to confront the big guys head-on?
Everyone was in tears.
This cross-server competition is really abominable.
These three high-level players were forced to feel inferior.
Gu Xingshuang: "Okay, I'll tell you when the time comes. If you want to call me, tell me. I'm usually online from 8 to 10."
As a social animal who often works overtime, Maizi's first reaction was envy: "Shuangjiang, you don't work overtime?"
He knew the reason and Lu Shiba was a student.
It's obvious that Shuangjiang is not a student.
Gu Xingshuang replied: "I usually don't work overtime."
I rarely work overtime during rehabilitation, unless my boss goes crazy one day and I have to hold a meeting in the middle of the night.
That’s hard to say.
Maizi was even more envious: "That's great."
Frost is very generous in spending money in the game, and it’s obvious that he has a lot of money.
Either the family is rich, or you earn money through work.
If it is the latter, it is a job that is leisurely, profitable and does not require overtime.
What kind of working man’s ultimate dream is this!
Ying Yuan then asked, "Shuangshuang, what is your job?"
Lu Xing glanced at Ying Yuan who was sitting there.
This person is smuggling contraband!
Gu Xingshuang doesn't like to reveal reality in the game, but facing netizens who are already very familiar with the game, this level of disclosure is no problem.
Gu Xingshuang replied: "Doctor."
Juan Qiu exclaimed, "You're actually a doctor! Wow, then you fit my stereotype of a doctor. Even through the game, you look like a gentle senior who studies very well."
Well, recently I may have to add the prefix "slightly sinister".
Ying Yuan: "Oh~ Doctor~"
Gu Xingshuang tried her best to ignore Ying Yuan's soft voice.
Maizi couldn't help but ask, "Then your doctor doesn't work overtime?"
"Doctors are always allowed to work overtime, right?"
Isn't it supposed to be a hellish job to work overtime?
In his impression, doctors are all very busy.
Gu Xingshuang responded: "I'm a rehabilitation doctor."
Ying Yuan took note of it silently.
It turns out he is a doctor in the rehabilitation department.
He already had a rough outline of Gu Xingshuang in his mind.
He nodded with satisfaction, feeling good.
Maizi clapped her hands and said, "This is great! He's a doctor and doesn't have to work overtime, so there shouldn't be any doctor-patient conflicts!"
Gu Xingshuang: "Yes, it's okay."
Maizi was so excited: "Oh, if I had known this earlier, I would have studied this. Why didn't I think of such a subject? I insisted on studying mechanical engineering, and now I have to work overtime all the time."
Ying Yuan was willing to learn more about Gu Xingshuang, but he didn't want to listen to Mai Zi's nagging. He said disdainfully: "Is it enough to know? Can you pass the exam?"
Maizi: “…Fuck.”
It's a heart-breaking murder.
His scores for medicine were very high, but as for the medical school at his own school, he might not be able to get in.
Gu Xingshuang was thinking whether to continue the topic, and just opened her mouth: "Maizi, what is your job now..."
Before he could finish his words, the team disbanded.
Gu Xingshuang:?
Although it is true that Yitiao has ended, they are still chatting, so it seems that their disbandment is too sudden.
Today's captain is Ying Yuan, so the disbandment was naturally his decision.
Gu Xingshuang was just about to ask what Ying Yuan was doing when his WeChat message started jumping wildly.
The reason is that sending him WeChat messages has become a fixed style.
A series of fatal calls.
Gu Xingshuang: “…………” He had a very bad feeling.
WeChat messages were popping up very quickly, and he could hear the "tick, tick, tick" sound coming from his earphones.
He couldn't figure out what this was for.
He didn't say anything on the microphone just now, but now he's talking so much on WeChat.
Is there anything you can't say in front of everyone?
Gu Xingshuang resigned herself to her fate and opened WeChat to check out the bombardment of messages about the reason for today’s event.
Reason: Why are you asking about wheat?
Reason: He is not important.
The reason was an angry red panda.
Reason: Why didn’t you ask me?
Frost: Aren’t you a student?
The reason was to send two cute little pandas and a little panda that was so happy that it took off on the spot to express his excitement.
Reason: Shuangshuang, you really care about me, you still remember!
Reason: [Sprinkle flowers] [Sprinkle flowers]
Gu Xingshuang: “…” He is not a fish that forgets in seven seconds.
He even remembered the younger man and the big wolfdog!
He couldn't say this, because even if he did, he didn't know what the reaction would be.
He didn't dare to gamble.
Reason: You can ask me about my major.
Gu Xingshuang wanted to ask, what would happen if she didn’t ask?
Before Ying Yuan could answer Gu Xingshuang's question, he rushed eight hundred miles away.
Reason: Ask me about my major!
Gu Xingshuang already knew the answer, and if she didn't ask, she would be bombarded with messages asking the reason.
He had no choice but to send the message resignedly.
Shuangjiang: What is your major?
Reason: I studied mathematics.
This was really beyond Gu Xingshuang's expectations.
He thought that children like Yuan, who were obviously from wealthy families, would choose finance or business administration, which were majors that heirs to wealthy families would choose.
Well, that's what's written in novels.
Science and engineering men in the mathematics department generally give people a stereotype of being very honest and straight, which is completely different from the reason.
Frost: Why did you choose this?
Gu Xingshuang couldn't help but ask curiously.
A cute and naughty male college student majoring in mathematics, the contrast is really perfect.
Reason: transferred here.
Frost: ...
He is fooled every day, but it’s different now.
Reason: Just kidding.
Reason: I chose it myself because I think mathematics is very interesting and I want to learn more about it.
Reason: I like to learn mathematics~[cute]
Gu Xingshuang cautiously chose not to reply.
This reason is not only normal, it can even be said to be a bit noble.
I find mathematics interesting and want to study it in depth. Let alone tell the reason, I would just ask an ordinary person to do this.
Gu Xingshuang began to feel a little skeptical after hearing this.
Is this true or false?
Now that Yuanli said this, he felt that this was a prank by Yuanli.
The reason seemed to be able to hear Gu Xingshuang's thoughts, and he sent another new message.
Reason: Really, I have loved math since I was a child, and I was admitted to high school because of my win in a competition.
He sent me a shy red panda emoji.
Reason: Shuangshuang, don’t you believe me?
He sent another crying red panda emoji.
So pitiful.
Gu Xingshuang replied very supportively.
Frost: I believe you, you are so awesome.
The reason was that another red panda was sent with its head held high and chest puffed out, full of pride.
Just looking at the responses in the reason column on the left, they switch seamlessly from shy and pitiful to cocky.
Gu Xingshuang seemed to be able to see the smug and show-off look on the face of the man in front of the computer screen.
He is funny.
The reason for saying this was that he was more convinced that what he said was true.
The reason may seem improper, but if you think about it carefully, he has never lied.
Because there is no need.
He already has enough halos around him, there is no need to create a persona of a math competition genius for himself.
Reason: I will send you my certificate later, but I don’t have the photo at hand right now.
Frost: No need, I believe you.
Reason: Shuangshuang is really the best~
Reason: I like Shuangshuang the most~
Gu Xingshuang looked at the two small wavy lines and felt calm in her heart.
Having understood the reason for today's incident, Gu Xingshuang planned to turn off the phone and go to sleep.
Suddenly, Reason sent a new message.
Reason: I have told Shuangshuang so much about my life, Shuangshuang, please tell me something about your life. [Good girl]
Gu Xingshuang: “…………” Can’t you pretend for even a second?
I thought this guy was really trying to show off himself, but I didn't expect he had other intentions.
Frost: I have nothing to say.
What Gu Xingshuang said was the truth.
He really had nothing to say.
His life is boring, monotonous and without any splash.
The only thing worth mentioning is his family background.
But that Ying Yuan is the same as him.
That's why he's still a weakened version.
Saying this after the reason is like plagiarizing him.
If he said it out loud, the relationship between him and Ying Yuan would become like two poor people huddling together for warmth.
He didn't like that feeling.
Reason: How could that be? You are such a nice person, so capable and smart, there must be a lot of people chasing after you in your life.
The reason was said in a very skillful way. He put aside his usual infuriating speaking style and instead started praising people, appearing harmless.
If Gu Xingshuang had not been dealing with him for a long time, he would have really believed that this was a good intention.
At this moment, Gu Xingshuang stared at the line of words for three full seconds, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.
He and Yuanli did not continue to argue about the issue of love.
The reason was never mentioned again by Xu Nianping, and he always remained himself.
Apart from those verbal exchanges, they have already developed a completely new way of getting along with each other.
So Gu Xingshuang assumed that they were just friends in the game now, and Ying Yuan’s so-called "Shuangshuang" and "wife" were just a habit that had been passed down.
He got used to it after hearing it so many times.
Until now, the reason for this sudden sentence.
Gu Xingshuang was not a fool, and he immediately noticed the subtle temptation contained in that sentence.
But...why test him?
He had an absurd guess.
Because it's ridiculous.
He quickly suppressed this strange thought.
He tried to come up with a plausible excuse for why.
The reason is male college students.
Although he is a young master of the Celestial Dragons, he is still a student who has not yet stepped into society.
There are too many people in love in college.
The reason is to focus on love issues... It makes sense, right?
Frost: General.
Ying Yuan looked at the “average” message sent by Gu Xingshuang and felt a little annoyed.
What does general mean?
But if not, then you can just say there is no frost.
Speak in general.
Not to mention how many people there were, at least someone was chasing him.
This realization made Ying Yuan anxious.
Before Ying Yuan could ask more questions, Shuangjiang sent new message.
Shuangjiang: What about you? You must be very popular in school.
Gu Xingshuang quickly turned the topic back to the reasons.
He didn't want to delve into the reasons why he was asked this question.
Ying Yuan thought for a long time before carefully typing on the keyboard.
Reason: It is very popular.
Reason: But I never paid any attention to them.
Reason: I only like you~
Reason: [Well behaved]
Ying Yuan often said similar love words on weekdays, and Gu Xingshuang's ears were callused from hearing them.
He was used to hearing it and didn't think anything of it.
But those are based on things in the game, which are fake and don’t count.
Today Ying Yuan was involved in reality, and things that he had deliberately ignored quietly surfaced.
He didn't know what to answer for a moment.
Frost: I'm going to take a shower.
Frost: You should go to bed early too.
He closed WeChat and turned off his computer.
In fact, he had taken a shower as soon as he came back, and giving the reason as the reason was just an excuse.
But after he got up, he really went to wash his face.
He looked at himself in the mirror.
There was no obvious sign of fatigue on his face in the mirror. On the contrary, when the corners of his mouth were raised, his eyebrows and eyes were as bright as ink and he looked like a person who came from a happy family and was nurtured with love.
After he turned 19, he did not give up on himself or hurt himself as often happens in literary works.
On the contrary, since then, he has recognized his position and seen everything around him clearly.
He finally stopped waiting stubbornly for the family affection and love that he could never get.
He learned to be responsible for himself.
He decided that from now on, he would live for himself.
Gu Xingshuang studies hard, exercises seriously, and enriches her life.
He is busier than ever and seems to love life.
He thought that since they had handed over the responsibility to him, he should take it well.
Now that he is an adult, he can no longer trouble his parents. He wants to be healthy, have a successful career, have a happy family, and live like a happy person.
He doesn't need anyone, he can be alone.
He couldn't tell whether it was a feeling of truly loving himself or a mentality of competing with others. Maybe it was a mixture of both.
He did it.
At least on the surface, he was doing well.
In addition to a happy family.
He felt that he would probably never fall in love with anyone in his life.
Gu Xingshuang exhaled slowly.
Maybe he was overthinking it.
Because of such conditions, there is no limit to what kind of lover you want.
It is only because people are afraid of getting hurt in real life that they look for "pure" feelings on the Internet, but that is just an illusion and a temporary novelty.
Just like now, even if I really have some special feelings for him.
That is to say, just a few weeks ago, Yuan still "liked" Xu Nianping, but after just a few weeks, less than a month of getting along, he had already fallen in love with someone else.
It would be more reasonable to describe this feeling as dependence and illusion rather than love.
The first one is Xu Nianping, the second one is him, and there will be a third and a fourth.
Nothing special at all, nothing to worry about.
Gu Xingshuang figured this out and went to bed.
Ying Yuan on the side was looking at the computer screen with a gloomy face.
In fact, this was not the first time that Shuangjiang responded coldly to his coquettish behavior.
To be precise, Gu Xingshuang basically responded like this.
Things have only gotten a little better recently, from disgust to numbness and adaptation.
But a more accurate word to describe it is indulgence.
But today Frost did not indulge him.
Ying Yuan stared at the screen for a long time before finally discovering the problem.
Today's situation cannot even be described as cold and disgusted.
Frost escaped.
He evaded his deliberate closeness and ended the conversation rudely, without conveying even the slightest emotion to him.
This discovery made Ying Yuan feel even worse.
After so much time had passed, he finally realized that the beginning of their acquaintance was not normal and that he had inadvertently told a lie.
It is gradually expanding from a tiny crack into an insurmountable chasm.
He quickly narrowed the distance between him and Frost through their unusual first acquaintance and tentative lies.
And so it stopped there.
When he tried to go further, Frost showed obvious signs of avoidance and rejection.
What does it mean to reap what you sow?
That's it.
"Lu Xing." Ying Yuan called out Lu Xing.
Lu Xing turned his head: "Huh?"
Ying Yuan asked him: "Have you ever had the experience of switching from online to offline meetings with people?"
Ying Yuan has always been a man of action.
When he senses something is wrong, he will launch a fierce attack to change the current tense situation.
It was inevitable that things would get bad, and the only thing he could do was to break the impasse.
Lu Xing was not interested at first, but when he heard Ying Yuan ask this, his eyes widened instantly and he became more alert: "You want to meet Shuangjiang in person?"
Ying Yuan: “No…is.” Why isn’t this guy usually so smart?
Lu Xing sensed something in Ying Yuan's tone, and he realized, "Is it because they don't agree?"
Ying Yuan was unhappy: "I haven't mentioned this to him yet."
Since no one mentioned it, there was naturally no disapproval.
What else did Lu Xing not understand? He ignored Ying Yuan's dark face and gloated: "Even if you proposed it, Shuangjiang would not agree."
Nian Yuanchuan was curious: "Why don't you agree? Didn't you guys have a good talk?"
"We can't talk online forever."
Nian Yuanchuan said: "You are so well-off, what else can she dislike about you?"
Ying Yuan's conditions can be said to be at the ceiling level.
How could this fail?!
Lu Xing muttered quietly: "It would be great if they really did end up talking about it..." Didn't they end up talking about it at all?
We are not in a romantic relationship, why would they come out to meet in person?
Nian Yuanchuan didn't hear clearly: "What?"
Lu Xing said “Aiya” twice and said, “Just go to sleep. What does this have to do with you, a single guy who got scammed online?”
Nian Yuanchuan jumped up and yelled, "Fuck you!"
In the past, Ying Yuan and Lu Xing were afraid of bringing up his sad memories and never mentioned this matter.
Ever since Ying Yuan also started an online romance and he encouraged Ying Yuan to do so, they often conducted desensitization training on him.
Ying Yuan was feeling upset. If he suggested that Shuangjiang meet in person, would she really not agree?
...I really can't imagine the scene that Shuangjiang agreed to.
Lu Xing and Nian Yuanchuan were fighting in the dormitory, and Ying Yuan was thinking about countermeasures.
Suddenly, Ying Yuan received a message from Lu Xing on WeChat, saying that he had won the real-person fight.
Lu Xing: Don't be impatient. How long have you known each other? If you like her, just pursue her slowly. Don't scare her.
Do you like... ?
Is this like?
Ying Yuan leaned back in his chair, raised his head, and covered his face with a book on Probability Theory.
This is his favorite class.
He put the book down and looked at the ugly but cute little snowman avatar of Frost again.
The ugly little snowman pouted and looked a little unhappy.
Ying Yuan wanted to smooth the corners of his mouth.
That means love, he thought.
If you like nature, you need to take action.
Ying Yuan turned his head and called out Lu Xing.
Lu Xing responded.
Ying Yuan asked him directly: "Are there any activities at school recently?"
"I want to take photos and post them on the official account."
He thought for a moment and added, "Or does the school have any promotional recruitment videos to shoot?"
When Lu Xing heard Ying Yuan say this, he suddenly became excited.
He was surprised: "Wow, why did you suddenly change your personality?"
"In the past, the school begged you to shoot recruitment videos and take photos at events, but you refused to go."
"Why are you taking the initiative to go now?"
"Besides, everyone shoots recruitment videos before the summer vacation. Now the new students have already reported. Why are you shooting a recruitment video?"
They are already in college, you can’t ask them to transfer schools.
Ying Yuan said perfunctorily: "Nothing, I just feel that since I'm a senior now, I should participate in some activities to enrich my resume."
It doesn’t really matter whether you recruit students or not. What’s important is to take a handsome video showing your face.
Lu Xing had an expression that was hard to describe.
No buddy, are you okay?
Do you need to improve your resume?
Are you going back to inherit the family property right after you graduate?
Who dares to accept your resume?
Although he was complaining in his mind, Lu Xing was still very considerate and asked some friends he knew for Ying Yuan.
When people heard that Ying Yuan took the initiative to appear on the show, they were extremely surprised and immediately agreed. They also arranged two campus activities for Ying Yuan to appear on the show.
The recruitment videos have been arranged.
This was filmed at the request of the campus hunk!
Ying Yuan will graduate next year, and there will be no such store after this.
Just think of it as shooting next year’s recruitment video in advance.
It’s not like if you use it this year, you won’t be able to use it next year.
