Chapter 20
Yue Qianling had never waited for someone's reply so nervously.
In those two or three seconds, she had already imagined all kinds of awkward conversations in her mind, and even regretted asking so directly on impulse.
What if I make a mistake? Doesn't it make her seem self-indulgent?
What if he confessed? What is the process of rejecting netizens?
What if he practices Tai Chi?
No matter which one it was, Yue Qianling felt that it would be difficult for her to deal with it. Even for someone like Tang Xin, she could only hint at it secretly, not to mention that she was now facing an online friend she had never met.
Yue Qianling was practically counting the seconds, staring at the phone screen in an uneasy manner.
Seeing that he did not reply immediately, Yue Qianling got excited and immediately withdrew the message.
But the next second.
[School Prince]: You... don’t think I like you too, do you?
Yue Qianling: “…”
Fuck.
She never expected that he would choose the most embarrassing one among millions of responses.
And the word "也" is very spiritual, as if it is deliberately reminding her of something.
Yue Qianling recalled the embarrassment she felt when Tang Xin said he had a girl he liked.
Not knowing how to reply for a moment, Yue Qianling typed a string of “hahahaha” in an attempt to ease the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the other party didn't give her this opportunity at all.
[School Prince]: Because it’s just a casual gift, it’s not necessary.
[School Prince]: I don’t have any other advantages.
【School Prince】: It means he has a lot of money and is generous.
Yue Qianling thought about it and it made sense. When she joked that she would charge 500 per hour, he really transferred 5,000 to her.
That day he asked her for her address, and she joked about making an offline fight, and he followed the joke, so Yue Qianling gave him the address of a police station.
No matter how wrong she was, it was all because she used her narrow-minded thinking to guess what rich people were thinking!
【Glutinous Rice Dough Twist】: Hahaha, just kidding [wipes sweat]
[School Prince]: If this keyboard really makes you uncomfortable, then you should return it.
【School Prince】: I won’t think too much about it.
Wouldn't that be even more embarrassing? ? ?
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: No, I really like them! [grin]
【School Prince】: OK.
Immediately afterwards, he accepted the money transferred by Yue Qianling, and then transferred another sum of money.
[School Prince]: [Transfer 722 yuan to you]
【Glutinous rice twisted dough sticks】：?
【School Prince】: The extra money given.
[School Prince]: I’m afraid you’ll think too much.
“…”
After calculating, based on the half-price for the second item, she actually paid more than 700 yuan.
【Glutinous rice twist】: okk! Saved a lot of money!
After receiving the money, Yue Qianling lay on the table, using the cool surface of the table to cool down her flushed cheeks.
Have I really contracted a terminal narcissistic disease called "all men in the world like me" recently?
"What do you mean?"
Yin Xue tidied up her wardrobe, walked over and asked, "Did your netizen confess to you?"
"It's useless to sue."
Yue Qianling just wanted to find a hole to bury herself in, "I'm the only one who's embarrassed now!"
"Let me take a look."
Yin Xue picked up her phone and took a look at the chat history. She immediately frowned in disgust. "Oh my God, can't you be more tactful??? What's the difference between what you said and directly saying 'I have someone I like, don't have any improper thoughts about me'? I surrender to you!"
Yue Qianling also wanted to be tactful, but sometimes she was easily impulsive.
If I consider everything carefully, I would not be Yue Qianling.
Now she just wanted to give Lin Xun a bowl of Meng Po soup, or drink a bowl herself.
Unfortunately, not only was there no Meng Po soup, but Camel and Wheat also added fuel to the fire in the group.
[Camel]: What’s the free keyboard? Why don't I have it?
【Xiaomi】: Why don’t you send it to me? Just because I'm a man?
When Yue Qianling heard what the two said, her heart began to hang in the balance again, and she felt that they were going to divert the topic again.
Gu Xun was also unhappy with them.
Why are you talking so much bullshit?
He had a sullen face and was about to tell the two to shut up when Yue Qianling's reply suddenly popped up in the group.
[Coriander Essence for Chili Lovers]: We had a promotion before, the second one is half price! I forgot that he bought it for me and forgot to give him the money.
[Coriander Essence who loves chili peppers]: A dirty money transaction has just been completed!
The next second, Camel came to chat with him privately.
[Camel]: Damn, you’re still charging them money? Why don't you just send one? ! Are you short of this little money? Are you a pig? !
There was a feeling of pent-up anger in my chest, making me feel uncomfortable all over.
He threw the phone back on the table, but it bounced off the edge of the table and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Gu Xun: …”
Jiang Junnan, who was playing games nearby, was startled. He turned around and saw that Gu Xun had already gone to the balcony.
"Did you have a fight with your mom again?" Jiang Junnan helped him pick up the phone. Seeing that the screen in the lower right corner was broken, he shouted at him distressedly, "Look, didn't I advise you to put on a screen protector? This screen will break if you drop it!"
Gu Xun ignored him, washed his face with cold water, and wiped it twice casually.
When he returned to the dormitory, the water drops on his brows slid down the smooth curve of his cheeks, leaving unclear water marks.
It should have been a very sexy scene, but Jiang Junnan felt a chill on his back.
He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Gu Xun said coldly, "Shut up."
"What the hell?" Jiang Junnan was completely stunned. "I haven't said anything yet!"
Gu Xun ignored him and his phone, turned on his computer, and said, "Kick someone."
Jiang Junnan was playing with five friends. When he heard Gu Xun say that, he knew that it was Gu Xun who was coming, so he immediately kicked the worst player out of the team.
After all, playing games with Gu Xun, the experience of being carried away by the wind is really amazing.
After logging into the game, Jiang Junnan lit a cigarette, and the pungent smell immediately spread throughout the dormitory.
The two computers were close to each other, and Jiang Junnan's fingers holding the cigarette were dangling next to Gu Xun's arm.
After a moment, Jiang Junnan felt like he was being stared at by death.
When I turned my head, I was met with Gu Xun's impatient eyes.
"Why don't you light yourself up to cheer me up?"
"Have you eaten gunpowder?!"
Having said that, Jiang Junnan still put out his cigarette reluctantly. Who asked him to curry favor with others?
But just as the first game was getting into full swing, the internet connection suddenly went down.
"Fuck! Here we go again!" Although Jiang Junnan has become accustomed to the occasional Internet outages at school in recent years, at times like this, it messes with his mentality more than his girlfriend breaking up with him.
"Are the people in the network center idiots? If you can't do something, let me teach you!"
After cursing for a long time, Jiang Junnan found that Gu Xun ignored him.
Gu Xun leaned against the back of the chair, sitting in a very casual posture, but his face looked very sullen.
What the hell has this day been like.
Jiang Junnan's mood changed very quickly. He was furious one second, but the next second he thought of something and immediately became depressed. He turned his head to look at Gu Xun, "By the way, my girlfriend dumped me during the Chinese New Year."
Gu Xun said "Oh", stood up and picked up his coat.
"How about going out for a meal to celebrate?"
Jiang Junnan: “?”
It is normal for two college students to have dinner at nine o'clock.
Since the school had not yet started, there were only senior students in the huge school and only a few restaurants outside were open.
As a result, the Chinese restaurant was crowded again.
Gu Xun and Jiang Junnan were lucky, as there was still one table left when they arrived.
After sitting down, Jiang Junnan took two bottles of wine directly from the freezer, poured a glass, drank it all, and then began to speak in a sullen voice.
"I've been with her for two years, like a good boyfriend, but guess what happened? When she came home, she ran into her first love in high school, and the love was like dry firewood."
"It's only been a few days, and the two of them are already together. But it was the guy who dumped her!"
"When she broke up with me, she cried and told me that she couldn't forget her first love. So I was just a spare tire?"
"I wonder if it's true that women can't forget their first love? What's the magic of the word 'first love'? I can't even remember my first love's last name now!"
Jiang Junnan talked on and on for a long time, and Gu Xun became more and more annoyed as he listened, and didn't want to respond a word.
Just when I was about to tell him not to mention those love matters, Jiang Junnan shut up and stopped talking. He stared blankly at something and then pulled Gu Xun's sleeve.
"Look, look."
Gu Xun turned his head impatiently, and happened to see Yue Qianling and Yin Xue walking in arm in arm.
With just a glance, without any emotion, he turned back to look at his phone.
The boss walked by them and greeted them, "Would you like to eat, ladies? You may have to wait a little longer. There will be a seat soon."
When Yue Qianling came in, she also saw Gu Xun and Jiang Junnan.
But this time, she glanced at Gu Xun's back very restrainedly and quickly retracted her gaze.
When I want to meet him, I may not be able to run into him even if I hang out downstairs of their college every day.
When she doesn't want to meet him, he always appears in front of her.
Yue Qianling shook her head, "No need."
The boss thought she didn't want to wait, so he looked around and saw that many tables only had one or two people, so he said, "Why don't you share a table? The other restaurants are closed."
Yue Qianling was about to refuse, but saw Jiang Junnan waving at them and smiling warmly.
"Come sit here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Qianling's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and his fingers unconsciously clenched his sleeves.
Yin Xue glanced at her, somewhat hesitant, not knowing whether Yue Qianling really wanted to go over.
Gu Xun, who had his back to them, didn't even raise his head, as if he didn't care who Jiang Junnan was calling.
Yue Qianling was suddenly surrounded by a feeling of powerlessness.
This feeling is actually not unfamiliar, but she always chose to ignore it before.
"No thanks." She gave Jiang Junnan a stiff smile, "Thank you."
He has a girlfriend, why is she trying to get close to him?
After Yue Qianling and Yin Xue left, Jiang Junnan touched the back of his head, not understanding why the girl was so energetic when she saw Gu Xun last time, but this time she didn't even want to share the table and smiled bitterly.
"What's wrong with her?"
Gu Xun was replying to the chief planner's message, his fingers quickly tapping the keyboard, and he said in a nonchalant tone: "It's none of my business."
Along the way, Yin Xue was talking about the bloody gossip she heard among relatives when she went home for the New Year. The gossip was so big that even novels would not dare to write about it. She successfully diverted Yue Qianling's attention.
After returning to the dormitory and just opening the door, Yue Qianling received a call from her father.
"I found the courier for you."
Before going out to eat, Yue Qianling found the express text message from the pile of text messages from various online stores and operators.
The express was indeed placed in the police station's mail room a few days ago.
Yue Qianling secretly cursed the couriers nowadays for being increasingly lazy, and asked her father to help get the items back, saying that the courier had delivered them to the wrong place.
Yue Wenbin is a good citizen who abides by the law. He has never been to the police station in his life except to apply for an ID card. He went to pick up a parcel late at night and was scolded by the staff on duty in the mail room, so he felt that this trip was quite unlucky.
"Don't use this courier next time!" he said dissatisfiedly, "It was delivered to the wrong place. Fortunately, it's not an important item!"
Who said it doesn't matter.
More than two thousand yuan.
After hanging up the phone, Yue Qianling prepared to take a shower.
Before putting down her phone, Xiaomai sent a message in the group.
[Xiaomi]: Is there a chicken party today?
Yue Qianling thought about it, didn't reply, and went into the bathroom holding her clothes.
After taking a shower and completing the skin care routine, it was already eleven o'clock at night.
Yue Qianling lay on the bed with her phone in her hand and saw that only Luotuo had said "OK" in the group half an hour ago.
In the past, this time was the time when the four of them would go online.
Lin Xun didn't say anything, probably because he felt embarrassed.
Yue Qianling couldn't help but recall the social death scene in the evening. The residual power was so strong that it could still make her toes dig into the ground.
At this time, Xiaomai saw that no one responded for a long time, so he tagged them again.
[Xiaomai]: @校草@糯米小麻花, why don’t you say something? Are you going to bed so early?
Yue Qianling thought, why not just pretend to be dead.
She took a deep breath and was about to put down her phone.
【School Prince】: Go ahead, I’m OK with that.
Seeing his frank tone, Yue Qianling suddenly felt that she was making a big deal out of nothing.
I don't think there's anything wrong, why are you thinking about this?
We are all adults now. Is there any misunderstanding that we should still be fussing about after it has been talked about?
Yue Qianling, be more generous!
After encouraging himself, Yue Qianling typed with a smile on his face like a lunatic.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: I’m OK with that too.
【Xiaomi】: Then log in! There is no time to lose!
Although he had prepared himself mentally, Yue Qianling still felt a little nervous after logging into the game and turning on the voice chat, and he didn't say a word.
Lin Xun was the last one to come up, and Xiaomai gave the position of landlord to him.
He didn't say anything and just clicked to start the game.
After entering the birth island, he asked: "Where do you want to jump?"
The tone was the same as usual.
Xiaomai now feels that he has made a lot of progress. He has no interest in any of the weird places, not even the Paradise Resort. He directly said, "Training base!"
"Oh my." Camel laughed, "You are indeed a skydiving genius."
Xiaomai: "Fuck you! Don't ask me to help you later!"
Camel and Wheat chatted for a long time until they got on the plane.
"Xiao Mahua, didn't you turn on the microphone?"
Yue Qianling was stunned for a moment, and quickly said in a fake tone: "Oh, I just forgot."
"Two teams have already jumped the main building."
Lin Xun then said, "Let's go to the side and let them fight first."
Yue Qianling said "OK", but was doing reading comprehension in her mind.
The tone is quite normal, right?
I think you don’t mind what happened just now, right?
After picking up an M762, Yue Qianling asked, "Is there a red dot?"
Lin Xun didn't say anything, but gave her a mark.
Yue Qianling ran over to pick it up, sorted out her bag, and asked, "Does anyone want six times as much?"
"I want it!" Xiaomai said immediately, "I just picked up an M24!"
Yue Qianling felt that it was a bit of a waste to give Xiaomai a six-fold scope. Xiaomai didn't know how to use a bolt action sniper rifle, and couldn't hold a six-fold scope, so he asked, "Lin Xun, do you want one?"
At times like this, she would always share good things with Lin Xun first.
Lin Xun only uses two M762s in the rainforest map, and will mark Yue Qianling if he picks up a sniper rifle.
But this time, before Lin Xun could answer, Xiao Mai jumped up: "You look down on me?!"
"You can't suppress the six times!" Yue Qianling said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you use the four times sniper first? Don't try to run away before you even learn how to walk."
Xiaomai thought about it and didn't say anything else.
Only then did Lin Xun speak, "I'll come get it from you later."
Hearing him say this, Yue Qianling breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't until halfway through the game that she finally confirmed her feelings.
It's the usual look, for sure.
It’s just that Lin Xun probably felt that he had become a little familiar with her recently, which led to her misunderstanding, so he deliberately kept a certain distance in his attitude.
But he was not a talkative person to begin with, and this made him even colder.
Only Yue Qianling, a thoughtful person, noticed this subtle difference. Camel and Xiaomai were unaware of it and kept chattering away.
When Xiaomai landed on the ground, he picked up a level 3 armor. Now he saw another one, so he marked it and reminded everyone: "There is a level 3 armor here, first come first served!"
"I am coming!"
Yue Qianling immediately ran in the direction he pointed.
After running two hundred meters and going into the second floor, I found that there was only a piece of Level 2 armor that I had taken off at the marked place.
She didn't react for a moment and asked, "Where's the level 3 armor?"
Lin Xun's calm voice came from the headphones.
"On me."
Yue Qianling: “…”
She smiled and said, "Okay."
After a while, the four encountered a car while running away from the drug.
The sound of gunfire immediately rang out like the New Year's Eve.
Yue Qianling was holding a fully equipped M762 and was having a great time. In just a few hits, she blew up their car and left all the people in the car with little health, but none of them survived. So she planned to change to a red dot and rush over for close combat.
However, in the few seconds it took her to change her camera, all the people in the car were killed by Lin Xun.
Looking at the kill information in the lower left corner and his own unchanged kill count, Yue Qianling resisted the urge to curse.
It doesn't matter, we are teammates.
After a while, Yue Qianling discovered another airdrop not far from them.
She deliberately kept silent and rushed towards the red smoke without telling anyone.
After running a few steps, she saw Lin Xun running towards the airdrop from another direction.
Yue Qianling still didn't say anything, and mustered all his strength to grab the airdrop.
But gradually, she found that she couldn't outrun Lin Xun, and began to shout anxiously: "No need! No need! We are all teammates! No need!"
But Lin Xun didn't slow down at all, and instead filled up his energy just to run faster.
Two seconds later, Yue Qianling watched Lin Xun stand in front of the airdrop first.
Yue Qianling: “…”
She continued to ask, "What kind of gun is in there?"
Lin Xun said indifferently: "Of course it's AWM."
Yue Qianling: “…”
OK, I'll bear with it.
A few minutes later, Wheat and Camel died in a fierce battle to block the bridge, and turned to the viewing angle while cursing.
They had already entered the final circle, and there were quite a lot of people there. Yue Qianling and Lin Xun were unlucky, as the circle was very far away from them and they didn't have much medicine on them, so they had to run for their lives.
Just at this moment, they encountered a full-strength team.
The team fired several shots at Yue Qianling, who was wearing bright clothes, from a distance. The M416 and 5.56 bullets they were holding were not very damaging, but very provocative.
As expected, Yue Qianling did not run away. He picked up his gun and planned to attack this group of people.
"Don't!" The camel was watching her fight and immediately shouted, "You should run away from the poison first! This poison is so far away and so painful!"
"Oh, they provoke me, and I will run?! I will stop them today!"
After saying that, Yue Qianling had already rushed towards the poison.
After fighting for several minutes, Yue Qianling successfully killed three people on the opposite side. However, because the poison was too painful, her energy level was running low and she was shot down by the only remaining person on the team.
Yue Qianling knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Lin Xun, come and help me! I can still fight! They are all dead with only one left! They are very disabled! Come quickly, ahhhhh!"
After she finished shouting, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
Why didn’t Lin Xun come to snatch her head just now? Why is it so quiet?
Feeling something was wrong, Yue Qianling shifted her gaze slightly and could no longer see him in her field of vision.
Then Camel’s laughter rang out in the headset: “Hahahaha, this bastard ran into the safe zone a few hundred meters away and lay down while you were fighting!”
Yue Qianling: “…”
How self-indulgent must she be to think that this guy likes her? ? ? ! ! !
