Chapter 9
Yue Qianling and Lin Xun have known each other for such a long time, but have never shown any desire to understand each other's real life.
In her eyes, gaming netizens are very distant entities and have nothing to do with her life.
So when she suddenly saw him ask this, she suddenly felt as if the barrier between the Internet and reality was suddenly broken, and many thoughts flashed through Yue Qianling's mind in an instant.
How does he know? ?
Is he also in Jiangcheng? ?
Does he know who I am? ?
Not only was he surprised, but he also felt a little inexplicably nervous, so much so that Yue Qianling stretched out his hand and quickly typed a reply while standing at the subway entrance.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: How do you know? ? ?
While waiting for a reply, she nervously looked around at the people.
It was as if Lin Xun was watching her right there.
After several minutes, the other party replied.
[School Prince]: The snow in Jiangcheng has become a hot topic.
So that's how it is.
Yue Qianling actually felt a sense of relief.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: It gave me a scare.
【School Prince】:?
【School Prince】: What are you scared of?
The snow was falling heavily, and the wind was doubly chilly. The green light at the intersection just happened to come on, and Yue Qianling was carried forward by the crowd and did not reply to the message.
Only after she crossed the street, walked into the school gate and onto the safe sidewalk did she take out her phone again.
What are you scared of?
In fact, she didn't know either, she just felt that this feeling was quite strange.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: I thought you and I were in the same city.
[School Prince]: Shouldn’t it be your honor?
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: Give you a chance to withdraw.
He ignored it.
Yue Qianling blew into her palms and continued typing.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: What have you been busy with these days?
【School Prince】: Work.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】:Oh.
The chat interface seems to have stopped here again.
Yue Qianling stared at the screen for a few seconds, feeling that he would not reply, so she prepared to put the phone in her bag.
At this time, two more words popped up in the chat box.
【School Prince】: What about you?
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: Working.
She thought about it and added a few more words.
[Glutinous Rice Mahua]: I found a new job.
[School Prince]: Oh, I thought you were busy dating.
Yue Qianling rolled her eyes.
This person really brings up things that are not related to the topic.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: How is that possible? If I hadn’t told you it was a secret crush?
【School Prince】: That’s right.
Yue Qianling: “…”
Why did she sense a sense of gloating from these two words?
【School Prince】: Then
[School Prince]: Do you want to go to the rain forest and get beaten together?
It’s so late…
Yue Qianling looked up at the snowflakes flying in the sky and sighed.
She has not yet become a big shot with both fame and fortune, probably because she lacks self-discipline.
【Glutinous rice fried dough twist】:
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: Just for a moment.
After putting the phone into the bag, Yue Qianling jogged all the way and finally returned to the dormitory. The cold wind was blocked out and the warm breeze blew on her face.
She took off her coat, put on her headphones and sat down at the desk.
Yin Xue just came out of the bathroom and looked at her in disbelief: "It's snowing! Are you playing games here? Why don't you go downstairs to take pictures?"
“What are you filming in the dark?” Yue Qianling was logging into the game without even turning his head. “I’m freezing.”
Yin Xue walked away in disgust, muttering to herself.
"With your character, no wonder you are single."
At this time, Yue Qianling was just pulled into the team by Lin Xun, and Yin Xue's words were transmitted word for word into the voice.
But Yue Qianling was completely unaware of this and turned around to retort Yin Xue.
"My face is enough, you know."
Yin Xue: "Then why don't you go and show your face! I'm worried about you!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Yue Qianling said with a smile, "We are all colleagues now. If we go to get off work together, won't we have the opportunity to see each other every day? Maybe we can even have dinner together or do team building activities."
"That's true. If you can't get him even with this, then he might really not like women."
After Yin Xue finished speaking, she climbed onto the bed and got into the quilt.
Yue Qianling then turned around to take a look at the game interface and found a double row logo in the upper left corner.
"Just the two of us? Wheat and Camel aren't coming?"
"They are so busy, and not everyone will play games with you at any time."
Yue Qianling frowned and muttered, "You're talking as if I'm the one begging you. It's obviously you who haven't asked me to play games for a long time, okay?"
"Yeah." He said, "So if I don't look for you, you won't look for me?"
“…”
Yue Qianling didn't understand how this person could be so unreasonable and yet so confident? !
She didn't want to talk until she was skydiving.
"There's a team on the left, pay attention."
Without Xiaomai and Camel, the two burdens, they were matched with high-end players and jumped to a training base. Yue Qianling was more cautious than usual and did not dare to recklessly. He started looking for equipment as soon as he landed.
But the footsteps I heard continued one after another, and it didn't sound like only one group of people were left behind.
"Are there any more people?" Yue Qianling only had a helmet and a shotgun. He carefully walked to the corner and hid. "Why do I hear there are at least two or three teams?"
Lin Xun said "hmm" perfunctorily, "Maybe."
Yue Qianling found a vantage point at the window to look outside, and sure enough, she saw two people jumping around in the house opposite.
She was extremely nervous and was just looking for an opportunity to sneak out and launch a surprise attack, but at this moment, Lin Xun jumped in from the window and swayed in front of her.
"So you changed jobs to chase someone?"
Yue Qianling didn't have the heart to talk to him about this at the moment, so he walked away with his gun, but as soon as he went out, he met a group of people.
They raised their guns and started firing. Yue Qianling screamed amid a burst of gunfire-like gunfire: "Ahhhhh help me!!!"
At such a close distance, Yue Qianling's shotgun was no match for the opponent's rifle, and he was knocked down in a few seconds.
However, just when she thought she was doomed, Lin Xun jumped down from the roof without her knowing.
Before Yue Qianling could even see his figures clearly, one of them fell to the ground in front of her, and the other one, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately went around behind the wall and tried to run.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xun chased after him with a gun, and shot the fleeing man in the head in just two steps.
The danger was temporarily lifted, Yue Qianling breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the man being chased and beaten yelling in the microphone: "Fuck, you didn't even help your teammates to beat me, you are awesome!"
Yue Qianling nodded frantically in his heart, "That's right, if someone from other teams comes to take advantage of the situation at this time, I will be shot dead!"
"What are you afraid of?"
Lin Xun squatted down to help Yue Qianling, and said slowly, "You can always trust me."
"Fuck." Upon hearing this, the man in the public microphone said before quitting the game, "It's my bad luck to mess with a girl!"
Lin Xun didn't turn on the microphone and heard nothing.
As for Yue Qianling, she was very dissatisfied when she heard this.
In her e-sports career, what she hated most was people saying that she was a forced girl!
So she immediately turned on the public microphone and said unconvincedly: "Who do you say is bringing girls?! Leave your game ID and let's compete in KD!!"
Unfortunately, that person had left long ago and didn't hear what she said.
She had no choice but to hide aside to bandage herself, changing her perspective to look around, and at the same time couldn't help muttering: "He was holding a rifle and I shot him down with a shotgun, and he still had the nerve to save his face. It's just that he can't solo, otherwise I would beat him to the ground and make him scream for his father. What about the other team? Are they trying to trick us?"
After saying that, she stood up, licked the boxes of the two men, then jumped downstairs and went somewhere else.
Lin Xun, who was in a house a hundred meters away from her, suddenly said, "You haven't answered my question just now."
Yue Qianling thought for a long time before she recalled what he asked - changing jobs just to chase someone?
"What else? Is it for the dream?"
Lin Xun smiled and said, "Does your sweetheart know how aggressive you are when playing games?"
"……?"
Yue Qianling was stunned for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you calling Tiger?"
Lin Xun was about to speak when he heard a few sudden gunshots in his headphones.
Immediately afterwards, amid the crackling sound of gunfire, there was Yue Qianling’s scream.
“Ahhhhh!! Someone’s coming again!! Ahhhh why are there three of them!! Help, ahhhhh!! I’m going to die, ahhhhh!!”
After a few seconds, the gunshots stopped abruptly. Yue Qianling put away the gun and exhaled, "They are all dead. There is one humanoid."
In the headphones, Lin Xun chuckled but said nothing.
Yue Qianling looked at the three boxes in front of him and suddenly reacted.
silence.
Neither of them spoke again.
It was not until they left the training base that Yue Qianling asked awkwardly, "Don't you guys like girls who play games too aggressively?"
"I don't know if other men like it or not, but I just -"
Yue Qianling frowned and waited nervously for the answer.
But Lin Xun suddenly paused, as if thinking about what to say.
After a moment.
His nonchalant voice rang out: "I don't like it very much."
“…”
really.
Yue Qianling said sullenly, "I knew it."
She jumped out of the window, turned around and ran to the opposite wild area.
Lin Xun didn't run in the same direction as her. After a while, he looked at the map and said, "Can you stay a little further away from me?"
"Leave me alone."
Yue Qianling didn't even look back, ran to the beach, jumped in and started swimming, "I have my own spiritual world."
"Come here."
"I don't."
"OK."
A few seconds later, gunshots were heard from Lin Xun's side.
Yue Qianling reluctantly climbed out of the sea and went to help his teammates with his gun.
She also rode a motorcycle on the way, but her riding skills were not very good, and she got stuck in the corner when passing through the residential area.
Hearing the gunfire becoming more and more intense, Yue Qianling became anxious and planned to abandon the car and run away.
But as soon as he jumped down, he saw that his teammates' logos were gray.
Yue Qianling: “…”
She scratched her ears and was too embarrassed to speak.
The gunshots and footsteps stopped, and the silence in the headphones was a little creepy.
"Let me see how far away my teammates are from me."
Lin Xun said coldly, "Well, more than 200 meters."
"It turns out I'm a solo double row."
"Alas, e-sports is all about winning and losing, you have to be more open-minded..."
After riding his bike back over, Yue Qianling opened his box and was instantly shocked when he saw the equipment. "No, what kind of gun does the opponent have? You can't even beat him in close combat with your fully equipped Macho Gun?!"
M762 is his favorite gun. In maps like the rainforest, he usually carries two M762s, one for close combat and one for direct sniping.
So Yue Qianling couldn't understand why he was killed by others in just two or three strokes.
There was silence in the headphones for two seconds, and then his somewhat casual, yet somewhat righteous voice rang out.
“I don’t have any teammates.”
“…”
Yue Qianling picked up his macho gun and ran, "Stop talking, your teammates will catch up and avenge you, okay?"
The dormitory was so quiet that the only sound was the faint sound of water flowing in the radiator.
After taking the postgraduate entrance exam, his roommate went out to travel, and Gu Xun was the only one living in the dormitory for the following days.
He switched his viewing angle, leaned back in his chair with his hands free, and looked down at his phone screen.
At this time, Xiaomai suddenly sent a message.
[Xiaomi]: Why are you playing games? ?
[Xiaomi]: I asked you to play games just now and you said you didn’t have time? ? ?
Gu Xun typed a few words.
[Is it illegal to eat vegetables? Sir]: Aren’t you preparing for the exam?
[Xiaomi]: Don’t give me these excuses!
[Xiaomi]: Why did you go to play duo with Xiaomahua? ? ?
[Xiaomi]: Since I have caught you red-handed, just tell the truth!
Gu Xun sat up straight without realizing it, no longer leaning lazily on the chair.
He stared at the screen of his mobile phone, his tongue touching his teeth unconsciously.
I was thinking about what to say——
[Xiaomi]: Do you think I’m not good enough? !
Gu Xun leaned back again.
[Is it illegal to eat vegetables?]: Yes.
【wheat】:?
[Wheat]: It’s getting lighter and lighter. It’s getting lighter and lighter.
Xiaomai never thought that their brotherhood of twenty years would become like this.
He turned around and complained to the camel.
[Xiaomi]: Lin Xun refused to play games with me and went to play duo with Xiao Mahua.
【camel】:?
[Xiaomi]: He actually started to think I’m a bad player! ! ! He wasn't like this before! !
A long time passed.
【camel】:……
[Camel]: He doesn’t think you are bad at this.
[Camel]: He thinks your wattage is too high.
【wheat】:?
The dormitory was still quiet.
The girl's voice rang out from the headphones from time to time, making the dormitory a little lively, and Gu Xun's mouth corners would rise from time to time.
It was not until the game ended and he returned to the matching interface that Gu Xun turned his head to look at the snow outside the window.
He concentrated for a moment, then turned back to look at the pink-haired CG character on the phone screen and slowly said, "Christmas is coming."
The girl said "Hmm?"
The Christmas event has been launched in the game. A conspicuous elk logo has been hung on the map, and a Santa Claus car is flying across the sky, ringing crisp bells.
Gu Xun inexplicably thought of the fireworks that Jiangcheng would set off in the lakeside park every Christmas, and it seemed that young girls all liked to go there.
He lowered his eyes, propped up his temples with one hand, stared at the screen of his mobile phone, and asked, "How are you going to spend your life?"
"How can I celebrate Jesus' birthday?" She thought of the atmosphere of couples in the Lake Park every year and sneered, "Why don't I go to the street and sell Christmas hats?"
“…”
"Red is ten dollars, green is free, how about that?"
“…”
