He Xiao couldn't refuse Shen Linyue's request, and only after agreeing not to go did the little girl show her smile again.
She tugged at his clothes, pointed at the game equipment on site, and asked him all sorts of questions like a curious child.
He Xiao directly exchanged a basket of game coins for her to explore on her own. After watching Lin Yue go off to have fun and leaving him alone for the time being, He Xiao turned around and left the entertainment center, heading towards the connecting corridor across the street.
The further he went in, the quieter it became, until he stopped in front of a glass door and rang the doorbell.
The door was quickly opened, and the boy who came in saw him and smiled with delight.
"Brother Xiao, what brings you here? Don't you have evening classes?" Yes, all his brothers knew that he had been busy with evening classes lately.
He Xiao glanced at him and smirked, "Do I look like such an obedient person?"
"Doesn't seem like it. By the way, I heard you have an older sister? Why didn't you bring her to show everyone?" The boy gossiped as the two walked inside.
"Let me see if your gaming skills are up to par first, hehe." He Xiao glanced at him coldly.
The boy fell silent and gave a flattering smile. The spacious office gradually came into view, with several desks pushed together and a few people sitting in each position. They all looked to be around the same age.
It was a group of game enthusiasts. On the left, in an empty space, there was a signboard with a group photo of everyone, and a huge logo that read "LL Team".
Everyone greeted him when they saw him.
"Brother Xiao, what a rare guest! What brings you here?"
"Brother Xiao, let's have a spar later, my skills have definitely improved."
"..." Everyone greeted him with their own questions. He Xiao glanced at them and his expression softened. "Well, I'll keep you company for a while. Is Qi Yu here?"
Qi Yu is the owner and coach of this team; he is the one who brought this group of people together.
He Xiao was almost tricked into joining this team as a jungler back then, haha.
However, he also made a small investment in this team, which is why he could come and go freely and even get to know Qi Yu.
"In the office, huh? Looks like he's video chatting with his online crush," one of the fat men said.
He Xiao raised an eyebrow: "Online dating?"
"Yeah, he's so infatuated with himself. He keeps saying he's found the love of his life, and he's on his phone all day calling her 'sweetie.' It's kind of disgusting," another person added.
He Xiao remained silent, his lips twitching. Twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and still trying online dating? He's really keeping up with the trends, isn't he afraid of being scammed out of everything?
"I'll go take a look." He Xiao pondered for a moment, then went inside and turned the doorknob of a room.
"Sweetheart, don't cry. Tell your brother if you have any problems, and he will definitely help you."
He Xiao walked in, and the voice just happened to enter his ears. He paused in his steps and began to regret coming in.
It's really disgusting.
Hearing the noise at the door, Qi Yu subconsciously turned his head and saw He Xiao's icy face. After a slight pause, he gave him a wink.
He even mouthed to him to wait a moment.
He Xiao crossed his arms and looked at Qi Yu with his flamboyant pink hair, finding it an eyesore.
Qi Yu's appearance is the opposite of He Xiao's. He has a more feminine appearance but is not effeminate. In particular, he has a pair of captivating fox eyes, making him look like a very scheming person. But even such a person is a pure love warrior when it comes to online dating.
"Hurry up and finish, I have things to do." He Xiao said impatiently when he saw Qi Yu still lingering on and on.
Qi Yu pouted, glared at him reproachfully, but quickly reassured his sweetheart before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
"Just say what you want to say. You're so annoying. Why did you have to come when I was on the phone with my girlfriend?" Qi Yu said, returning to normal.
He Xiao walked over, casually pulled up a stool, and sat down, offering a sarcastic remark without any politeness.
"Girlfriend? Is she some 300-pound fat guy using a voice changer? Haha."
Qi Yu glared at him: "Stop jinxing me. My sweetie is incredibly cute, a real sweet girl."
He Xiao looked at him calmly, and after a few seconds, he curled his lips and said, "Oh, you said the same thing last time. Was it a mature woman then?"
Qi Yu: ...
"Can you please stop poking fun at people's hearts?" Qi Yu said discontentedly. "You're just a kid who hasn't even grown up yet, so don't meddle in adults' business."
He Xiao rolled his eyes and tossed his phone onto the table: "Quickly check this code; I can't understand where the problem is right now."
Qi Yu was too lazy to argue anymore, and glanced at him teasingly: "Oh, Young Master He is finally getting serious?"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."
"Why don't you just send it to my computer next time? Isn't it troublesome for you to make the trip back and forth?" Qi Yu skillfully opened his phone.
He Xiao calmly replied, "I brought people here to have fun, and also to look for you."
Qi Yu's eyes immediately lit up: "Girlfriend? Not bad, kid, you finally want to experience what it's like to have a girlfriend..."
"No!" He Xiao interrupted, his eyes turning stern: "Stop talking nonsense, or I'll beat you up."
Qi Yu shook his head: "Tsk, can't even take a joke? Looks like you really are a girl? Tell me about her, what do you look like? What's your name...?"
He Xiao: ...Forgot, he's a chatterbox, why would he tell him all this?
...
Shen Linyue did have a lot of fun at the arcade, and she won five or six plush toys and put them in the stroller.
But her enthusiasm for playing games came and went quickly. Before long, she got bored and searched around for He Xiao several times without success. She could only sit on a bench in the rest area and try to call He Xiao.
After several unsuccessful attempts to get through, Shen Linyue frowned and looked around, only to meet a furtive gaze from outside the transparent glass.
The other person's eyes immediately darted away when they saw her. Shen Linyue narrowed her eyes, but before she could take a closer look, another greasy voice rang out from above.
