The restaurant was a private kitchen in the west of the city.
They arrived early and had just sat down to order when the door to the private room was pushed open.
"Sorry, sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way." Chen apologized as he took off his baseball cap.
He and Whis28 were still wearing club uniforms, clearly having come directly from the match venue.
Yu Wan: "We just arrived too."
When Chen heard the word "we," she noticed the handsome young man sitting next to her. He was looking at her with an intense gaze, and her cheeks were flushed with excitement.
He felt a chill run down his spine from that gaze and asked in confusion, "Who is this?"
Meng Shen immediately straightened up, stretched out his hand with a mix of nervous excitement and trembling voice: "Chen, I'm your fan, I've watched every single one of your matches."
Chen has always had more male fans than female fans, and they quickly realized what was happening and shook his hand back. He exaggeratedly breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said, "You scared me to death! I thought you had a crush on me. Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm an artist, not a prostitute."
After shaking hands with his idol, Meng Shen's mind went completely blank. He gave a silly smile and blurted out, "I will definitely protect my idol's innocence." Heaven knows how much effort he put in to avoid turning into a screaming chicken!
Chen froze on the spot, his face twitching a few times.
Seeing this, Whis28 burst out laughing. It was the first time he had ever seen Chen get the short end of the stick. This little fan was just too funny.
But he didn't expect the fire to soon spread to him.
"By the way, I'm also a fan of your pairing." Meng Shen's eyes lit up when he saw Whis28, and he once again surprised everyone with his words.
Pairing up celebrities is a popular culture nowadays. There are tons of pink and bizarre videos of the two on Bilibili, with the highest video reaching 2 million views. Eventually, they formed a huge fan base, and their fierce momentum is approaching the number one pairing of Lin Daiyu and Voldemort.
A brief silence fell over the room, and the atmosphere became slightly awkward.
Yu Wan raised her hand and gently pinched the space between her eyebrows, feeling a slight headache.
Once a friend starts acting like a fool, not even ten horses could stop them.

She pulled Meng Shen's baseball cap down a little and said to the two stunned people, "I'm sorry, I forgot to give him his medicine before I left."
Meng Shen: "..."
“I understand,” Chen paused, then said with a pained expression, “You’re not one of my haters, are you?”
Whis28, who was standing next to Chen, couldn't help but pick up a coat from the table and cover Chen's head with it, saying expressionlessly, "Sorry, he forgot to get his shot too."
Chen: "..."
Meng Shen, whose skin was always thicker than a city wall, asked curiously, "Who won your match against Young today?"
"Of course we won." Chen started talking excitedly, "I heard that the other side went to South Korea for two months of special training and learned a set of tactics to block me and Wish. But when they took to the field, their level was about the same as before."
Meng Shen raised an eyebrow: "Young still has potential, it's a pity he's being dragged down by Mafa."
As soon as he finished speaking, not only Chen was stunned, but even Whis28 looked over in surprise. He had been leaning back in his chair rather lazily, but upon hearing this, he straightened up slightly: "What do you mean?" Marfa is Young's ace.
Meng Shen raised an eyebrow: "The current coach is stuck in old ways and overemphasizes Mafa, which has led to infighting within the team, so it's normal for them to lose. Mafa used to be arrogant and his skills haven't improved in years. If we replace him and support the newly signed rookie, he might be able to return to his peak in a year or two."
"Dude, you're awesome." Chen patted Meng Shen on the shoulder excitedly: "You said exactly what our coach said, you see things very clearly."
Mentioning the coach, he said to Yu Wan, still unwilling to give up, "You really don't plan to play professionally? Our coach said that as long as you're willing to join, you can name your price."
"I won't fight," Yu Wan coldly refused.
Chen said regretfully, "What a pity."
“His hand speed is faster than mine.” Yu Wan tilted her head, raised her chin, and pointed at Meng Shen.
She remembered that Meng Shen had mentioned wanting to play professionally in high school, but he had to give it up because his father pressured him too much. Over the years, he had been following the e-sports scene closely and secretly practicing his skills; now he just needed someone to give him a push.
Meng Shen paused, meeting Yu Wan's encouraging eyes. He lowered his head, his wisps of hair falling lightly over his forehead, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn upwards.
Chen exclaimed in shock, licked his dry lips, and after a moment of silence, burst out: "Then what are we waiting for? If you're a man, find a place and have a real fight!"
"Let me search for nearby internet cafes." Whis28 decisively opened a review app on his phone and started searching.
-
The internet cafes are very close to each other.
After spending three hours at the counter, they successfully found four machines that were connected together.
Meng Shen looked around and exclaimed in surprise, "Survival is really popular lately. Nearly half the people in the internet cafe are playing it."
Chen lowered his voice and said, "Rumor has it that they're planning to enter the holographic gaming field. You know Orange Music, right? That hottest virtual reality company overseas, it's probably going to be acquired by Ausen."
These remarks are not unfounded. Chen comes from a good family background and has relatives who know senior executives at Ausen Games. This is reportedly inside information.
Yu Wan raised an eyebrow, once again admiring the president of Ausen.
