Chapter 67 I Like
But when he said this, Wen Nianchu himself was stunned.
She suddenly remembered that when she first met Xie Yue, he seemed to have said the same thing to her.
"Um."
Xie Yue clenched his fingers around the glass of pineapple beer. In fact, he had never even tried the cheapest drink.
This was his first time drinking a beverage.
Very sweet, too sweet.
Even my head feels dizzy.
However, Xie Yue was still very obedient and only drank the little bit in the cup without asking for anything else.
He remembered her saying that she liked him because he was obedient enough.
So if he behaved better than his future self, would she...like him more now?
This thought made Xie Yue's ears feel hot. He lowered his head and stared at the empty cup in a daze.
Wen Nianchu never imagined that Xie Yue would have so many messy thoughts at his age. Her only contact with him was when he was 18 years old. She felt that he was a nice person, so she trusted him very much.
She was a little bored. After seeing Xie Yue take a sip of pineapple beer, she stared at his still-open face and said:
"He's quite handsome. How come you're so good-looking at fourteen?"
"I think you are much more handsome than Qin Ye."
Qin Ye actually has so many fans who love him for his looks?
Xie Yue: “?”
Qin Ye?
That guy from Team ONE? He seems to be several years older than him.
Xie Yue pursed his lips:
"Sister...can you please stop comparing me with others?"
Wen Nianchu was sitting cross-legged on the sofa. He froze when he heard this and immediately straightened up:
"I'm sorry!"
She clasped her hands together, looked at him with sparkling eyes, and spoke in a sincere tone that was almost coquettish.
So cute.
That's so unfair.
Xie Yue lowered his eyes and stared at her fluttering eyelashes, thinking.
Seeing Xie Yue still standing there, she tilted her head to look at the textbook in his hand.
"You want to study, right?" She pointed in the direction of the bedroom. "Why don't you go in there and read? I'll fight in the living room for a while."
Wen Nianchu saw that the other person was holding a book in his hand and thought that Xie Yue wanted to read.
Xie Yue was not happy for a moment:
"?"
fight?
Who are you fighting with in the living room?
Boy or girl...?
He lowered his eyelashes and said in a muffled voice:
“…Why not take me with you.”
Wen Nianchu turned around, her hands resting on the back of the sofa, and she stretched her head out:
"Don't you want to study?"
"...I don't want to learn." Xie Yue turned his face away, and the tips of his ears felt slightly hot.
I don't want to see Wen Nianchu fighting with others.
No matter who it is.
"That's perfect." Wen Nianchu jumped off the sofa. "Please pull the curtains. It's too bright." She said as she walked towards the bedroom. "I'm going to get something."
Xie Yue stood there, feeling his throat dry. He slowly walked to the window, and when he pulled the blue curtain outward, his fingers trembled.
The curtains slammed shut, blocking out the last ray of sunlight.
After doing all this, he sat back on the sofa, his hands on his knees, like a primary school student waiting for his name to be called. The living room suddenly became very quiet, and he could hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
Knock knock.
Knock knock.
Each sound is louder than the last.
The sound of the bedroom doorknob turning made his back stiffen.
"I got it!" Wen Nianchu ran out excitedly, holding two game controllers in his arms.
Xie Yue blinked.
"What are you daydreaming about?" She stuffed the controller into his arms, smiling so hard that her eyes curved into crescents, "Let's fight."
She took out the game disk and put it in the CD player.
"The King of Fighters."
"I was thinking of playing against the bots to have some fun."
"In that case, hahahaha, you might have to be my punching bag."
Xie Yue's fingers gripping the handle tightened slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled.
So...was this the fight?
The blue light from the screen reflected on the tips of his ears, which were gradually turning red, but he still looked back with forced composure:
"...It's still unclear who will win or lose."
Wen Nianchu teased:
"Little Xie Yue is so arrogant?" "Huh?"
Xie Yue looked serious, but in fact he could no longer suppress the urge to refute:
"I'm not little anymore."
But there is only a four-year age difference.
Wen Nianchu sat cross-legged on the sofa, his slender fingers moving nimbly on the handle, and in just a few clicks he brought up the battle interface.
"Choose a character," she reminded him without even looking up. "I suggest you use this novice character."
Xie Yue nodded obediently, but his eyes caught a glimpse of her choosing the fighter with the highest operating difficulty. Her fingertips fluttered on the buttons like butterflies, at a speed that was dazzling.
"Ready?" She raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Wen Nianchu took the initiative, her character launched a flying kick straight at Xie Yue's character's face. Xie Yue reacted very quickly, stepping back to avoid it and then countering with an elbow.
"sure!"
Wen Nianchu's eyes lit up, and his hands moved faster, with a few consecutive light punches, forcing Xie Yue's character to retreat repeatedly.
Xie Yue said nothing, but his eyes were focused, his fingers moving swiftly on the controller. His character suddenly dodged, seizing the gap between Wen Nianchu's attacks and throwing her to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
"Ah!" Wen Nianchu exclaimed, then shouted unyieldingly, "What's the point of a sneak attack? Come again!"
Damn, Xie Yue actually knows how to play.
Then she can't take it lightly.
Xie Yue's lips curled up slightly, but he quickly tightened his expression again.
"Um."
"Come again."
Wen Nianchu hummed, and his fingers pressed rapidly. The character stood up with a somersault, followed by a series of gorgeous combos.
The battle on the screen intensified, their characters trading blows as their health bars steadily dwindled. The only sounds in the living room were the clacking of keys and the occasional gasp.
In the end, Wen Nianchu's character ended the game with a killer move.
"See? Compared to me, you're still a little immature."
Wen Nianchu raised his head proudly.
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to realize something and secretly glanced at Xie Yue from the corner of her eye. The young man's eyelashes were drooping, and half of his face was hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to tell his emotions.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Wouldn't that be offensive to the kids?
"that..."
Wen Nianchu subconsciously moved towards him.
Xie Yue's body suddenly stiffened.
It's too dark around here.
Only the light from the game screen flickered on their faces, casting their shadows on the wall behind them, so close that they almost overlapped.
"If you lose, you lose," Wen Nianchu tilted his head to look at him, with a faint smile on his lips, "A real man can't afford to lose, right?"
"Have you ever played with me like this before?"
Xie Yue really felt that the distance was too close for playing games.
But the four years lay across his heart, as distant as another world, and a high wall was built between him and her, separating him far away, very far away.
She and he are playing...
But it seems like he is playing with another him.
Xie Yue himself didn't understand why he cared so much about himself four years later.
Wen Nianchu wondered what Xie Yue was going to say.
"No, I feel like you probably won't like playing this kind of game four years later." Xie Yue four years later had begun to become a little old-fashioned, but the more important problem was that four years later, both mobile games and computer games were much more fun than this.
After all, this is a relatively old disk game.
It has to be put in the CD player.
Xie Yue was silent.
He looked at the shadow on the white wall.
Their shadows were cast on the white wall behind them, their outlines blending together vaguely, as if they would overlap into a ball at any time.
It's very similar to the movements of the characters in that black and white comic book.
He said slowly:
"I like."
Xie Yue's eyes suddenly lit up.
In the flickering light of the screen, his eyes sparkled, as if filled with stars:
"I don't like who I am four years from now, but who I am now..."
"I like it very much."
