At this time, Zhao Wu picked up the tea set on the table, picked up the teapot that had already brewed tea, poured a cup of tea and handed it to the girl sitting diagonally opposite, "Sister, come, have some tea."
Seeing this, Li Shu immediately put down her phone, took the teacup with both hands, and said politely, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Zhao Wu smiled, and then poured another cup for Ji Si, "God Si, have some tea."
Ji Si was slightly stunned, a little surprised that Zhao Wu knew him. After all, the entertainment industry and the e-sports industry had never had much in common. "You know me?"
Zhao Wu coughed lightly, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed, and touched the tip of his nose. "I like playing games, too. I've watched all your matches and even been to your live shows a few times. I can barely be considered a fan, I guess."
Ji Yanli had just finished ordering the dishes when he heard this. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and he turned his head to look at him, "Brother Wu, why have you never told me this?"
Zhao Wu poured Ji Yanli another cup of tea and said, "You're not playing games, why should I tell you?"
"That's right." Ji Yanli raised his eyebrows and turned his gaze to Li Shu, who was playing with her phone. "Xiao Shu, I saw that you were quite interested in your third brother before. Why didn't you say anything when you met him today? Are you shy?"
Li Shu paused typing, then raised her eyes to look at him. Her deep, dark eyes were clear as day, and she said slowly, "I'm not shy, I just don't feel like talking."
"Really?" Ji Yanli leaned his arm on the table, his chin resting on one hand. He looked at the two people sitting opposite him, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said in a soft voice, "But why do I feel that you two have become a little strange after meeting each other today, especially Ji Si? Are you hiding something from me?"
"No, second brother, it's your illusion." Li Shu turned off the screen of her mobile phone and casually placed it on the table. She sat up slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Her dark eyes were shining with a bit of nonchalance.
She couldn't possibly tease him in front of Ji Si himself.
"What about you, Ji Si?" Ji Yanli continued to ask.
Ji Si was fiddling with his phone, a hint of rebelliousness between his brows. "Second brother, you don't know me yet? I'm busy training for competitions all day, there's nothing I can hide from you."
Ji Yanli nodded thoughtfully, not knowing whether he believed what the two said or not, and only said, "That's it."
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Huo Yandong had been feeling itchy these past few days, thinking about how awesome Li Shu was at playing games. However, for the sake of his brother Yu's happy life in the rest of his life, he couldn't take the initiative to talk to Li Shu about her career, which was quite a headache.
After much thought, he decided to drive directly to the school to find Chen Yu and see if there was a chance to invite Li Shu to play a game together after lunch. This way, he could also use this opportunity to naturally talk to Li Shu about joining his e-sports club to become a professional.
As a result, he waited in the office for almost half an hour, but not only did he not see Li Shu, but no one came to deliver the food.
Huo Yandong looked down at the time on his phone, then looked up at Shen Yu, who was leaning on the sofa playing with his phone. He asked curiously, "Brother Yu, why didn't Li Shu come to have dinner with you today?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu slowly opened his eyelids, glanced at him lazily, and said in a slow and low voice, "She has something to do today and won't be coming here for dinner."
Huo Yandong: "..."
Well, it turns out he sat here waiting for half an hour in vain.
"No, Brother Yu, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You didn't ask me either." Chen Yu raised his eyebrows, sat up slightly, leaned over, picked up the cigarette box on the coffee table, and took out a cigarette from it. "Do you have something to do with Li Shu?"
Huo Yandong coughed lightly, not intending to hide anything from him. "Then you want to ask her if she would consider going pro. But don't worry, Brother Yu, I will never tell her that you used my account to pretend to be a girl and play games with her."
"I was thinking that after you guys finish eating, I'll open the game and let Li Shu see it. Then I'll take the opportunity to ask her if she knows how to play games and if she wants to play with me. If she agrees, after we finish a game, I can then naturally talk to her about playing professionally."
"Well, isn't my plan perfect? I even borrowed someone else's number beforehand, so I won't expose you, Brother Yu."
Shen Yu looked at him with a look of silence in his eyes. He picked up the metal lighter and turned it around in his hand. He opened the lid and with a click, the flame leaped up. He turned his head and lit the cigarette, then said slowly, "Well, you can do whatever you want."
He paused and continued, "But don't get your hopes up."
"I know." Huo Yandong nodded. "By the way, Brother Yu, aren't you going to eat? How about we go out to eat together now?"
Shen Yu took a deep puff of the cigarette, then took it out and held it between his fingertips. The smoke dissipated, and he glanced at him casually, "I'm not hungry, go eat by yourself."
"Then I'll go straight home." Huo Yandong didn't force himself to speak, and stood up with the car keys. "By the way, Li Shu, can you come over for dinner tomorrow?"
Shen Yu flicked the ash from his fingertips and picked up the phone that was thrown on the sofa again, "Here I am."
"Okay, I'm leaving." After saying hello to the man, Huo Yandong turned and left the office.
…
In the box, Li Shu was almost full.
She slowly put down the chopsticks in her hand, picked up a tissue to wipe the corners of her mouth, then slightly closed her raven-black eyelashes and lazily leaned back in the chair to rest.
Ji Yanli also put down his chopsticks, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and cleared his throat. "By the way, Xiaoshu, you shouldn't have added your third brother's WeChat yet, right?"
"No." Li Shu's eyebrows twitched, and a trace of helplessness flashed across her eyes. If there wasn't an outsider, Zhao Wu, there, she would have refused without thinking.
Ji Yanli raised his eyebrows, his eyes darting between the two people opposite him, "Then why are you still standing there? You two should join in now."
Li Shu leaned back in her chair without saying anything or making any movements. She was quite nonchalant, as if waiting for Ji Si to take the initiative to add her.
Just when the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Ji Si finally picked up the phone on the table, tapped the screen with his slender fingers, opened the WeChat QR code, and then turned his head to look at the girl next to him. There was no expression on his face, and he turned the phone screen towards her. He also didn't say anything, just held the phone quietly.
Seeing this, Li Shu twitched the corner of her mouth imperceptibly, took out her cell phone from her pocket, clicked on WeChat, and scanned the QR code on his phone screen.
Ji Si withdrew his hand holding the phone, looked at the friend request sent by Li Shu, and clicked "Agree".
Li Shu ignored the friend she had just added. She lowered her eyes to check the time on her phone and said, "Brother, I only have half an hour left. How about I take a taxi back to school?"
Ji Yanli: "It's okay, we've finished eating too. We can still take you home now."
Li Shu nodded obediently after hearing this, "Okay."
