Chapter 14



Xia Tong was stunned. He didn't know why this question was suddenly put in front of him in such a targeted manner.

Lin Mingfei's gaze also shot over, heavy and solemn, as if she cared deeply about the answer. Adding Shi Ya to the mix, Xia Tong suddenly became incredibly nervous. He rubbed the bottom of his pants and hesitated, "I think... I think... eating is still the most important thing! Only when you're full can you have desires!" He suddenly pointed at Zhou Yanjun and shouted, "Fatty, do you have anything else to eat?"

"Huh? You're still not full? I only have gum left!" Zhou Yanjun was confused and shouted again, "Who is Fatty? Stop giving people random nicknames!"

"Drive quickly, there will be food when we reach the destination." Shi Ya returned to her nonchalant demeanor, as if she had just wanted to tease Xia Tong.

Lin Mingfei also turned her head back. Xia Tong breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject, "Where are we going?"

"Go find a former teammate of ours." Lin Mingfei said.

"Your teammate? What is he doing?" Xia Tong became active again, leaning on the back of the passenger seat and asked curiously.

"The Axe Warrior plays very well. It's no exaggeration to say that he is the best Axe Warrior in the country." Lin Mingfei said.

"It's a pity that such a good Xiao Bo was given up by Du Yong." Shi Ya said coldly with her hand on her chin.

"Yeah, at least I still have a chance to practice at KUQ. Xiao Bo probably doesn't even have an internet cable in the countryside! A whole year has been wasted." Zhou Yanjun became more and more angry as he thought about it: "That Du guy is such a piece of shit!"

"Who is this Du?" Xia Tong poked Lin Mingfei's shoulder.

"Our team's former manager." Lin Mingfei said calmly, "When I left two years ago, I told him to manage Polaris well and wait for my return. He didn't trust me, nor did he keep his promise. He dismantled and sold Polaris as soon as I left."

"Actually, when you first left, we played 5v5 with that substitute hunter, four against one, and our form wasn't too bad, at least better than KUQ's current situation." Shi Ya said calmly, "But Du Yong's mentality was really broken at the time. He seemed to think that Polaris was trash if they didn't take first place."

"Capitalists and esports players have different starting points." Lin Mingfei said, "He doesn't have such strong willpower. I guess my prediction was wrong."

"But why did you leave without saying a word?" Zhou Yanjun was confused. "I still don't know what you've been doing these past two years. If Xia Tong hadn't told me you went to the ophthalmologist, I wouldn't have known you left because of an occupational disease."

Lin Mingfei glanced at Xia Tong, who folded her hands over her mouth, feeling embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I didn't know I couldn't say this..."

"Forget it, it doesn't matter." Lin Mingfei said.

"But you see, why shouldn't we talk about occupational diseases? If you tell us about it, everyone will have something to look forward to! Maybe Du Yong won't do such a thing." Zhou Yanjun said.

"I was also afraid that this disease was incurable." Lin Mingfei smiled faintly.

"Yeah, if it's cervical spondylosis or something, it's fine. Eye diseases aren't that common." Zhou Yanjun agreed without thinking, shaking his head. He drove into a golden field. The wind blew the wheat waves. Xia Tong exclaimed "Wow!" and rushed to the window. Pointing at the pond not far away, she said happily, "There are ducks! Colorful ducks!"

"That's a wild duck." Lin Mingfei laughed. He glanced at the navigation: "This is it, let's get off!"

"Wow!" It was Xia Tong's first time to go to the countryside. The sky was clear and cloudless, the fields were full of vitality, and the gentle breeze was filled with the fragrance of grains. He was so excited that he jumped and ran happily.

"Hey! Run slower! Do you know the way? Be careful not to get lost!" Zhou Yanjun shouted from behind.

Lin Mingfei took two steps and was patted on the shoulder by Shi Ya.

"If you think your disease cannot be cured, how could you give such a precise time limit of two years?" Shi Yaman said in a soft voice.

Lin Mingfei's eyebrows furrowed, and her eyes became sharp, but Shi Ya only smiled faintly and let go of her hand: "Don't worry, I'm not Zhou Yanjun. I don't have the habit of asking questions. I never ask what you don't want to say."

"That's all you're likeable about me." Lin Mingfei snorted softly, her lips raised. The two of them slowly walked down the slope along the ridge of the field. In front of them, they saw a small, self-built two-story courtyard with a sign on the wall that read "No. 23 Bojia Village."

Shi Ya dialed Bo Yu's old number but no one answered. She frowned and asked, "Did Xiao Bo change his phone number?"

Just then, a man on a tricycle passed by. Shi Ya quickly stepped forward to stop him and said politely, "Hello, does Bo Yu live here?"

Uncle: "Thin what?"

Shi Ya: "Thin Island."

Uncle: "What rain?"

Shi Ya: “…”

Lin Mingfei held down Shi Ya's shoulder, which was about to explode, and gestured towards the building: "Where did he go?"

The old man showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Ah! Little Bo'er, go pick the big plums!"

"Then let's wait here for him to come back." Lin Mingfei said to Shi Ya.

Shi Ya sighed: "Okay."

Zhou Yanjun ran for a while on the dotted ridges of the fields and successfully lost his target Xia Xiaotong. The little thing didn't look very strong, but when it went crazy it was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, running so nimbly and quickly. Zhou Yanjun supported himself on his knees and took a breath. He saw a person at the other end of the pond. He looked very familiar.

"Bo Yu?" he blurted out.

The young boy was wearing a thin farm cloth shirt and was sweating profusely as he tied a bunch of branches into bundles. He turned his head when he heard the sound and was obviously stunned when his eyes met Zhou Yanjun's.

Zhou Yanjun: "Fuck Bo Yu!!! Xiao Bo!! Don't fucking run!!!"

It would have been fine if he hadn't called out, but as soon as he called out, Bo Yu simply turned around and ran away. Zhou Yanjun chased him with all his might, and then jumped from a high place and pinned Bo Yu to the ground.

"Run, run! Damn it! I've been looking for you for so long!" He clung to Bo Yu's thighs tightly. "Let's go! Follow me back to Polaris! The captain is here, and so is Timer! They're all waiting for you!"

Bo Yu struggled desperately, "Let go..." He said in a hoarse voice, "Don't look for me! I don't know how to play games anymore!"

"You're talking nonsense. You can't play games after just one year's break. Are you mentally retarded?" Zhou Yanjun roared.

"Anyway, I'm not going to play professionally anymore! Don't bother with me! We won't get in each other's way!" Bo Yu pushed Zhou Yanjun away, straightened his clothes as he retreated, and shouted, "Go find someone else!"

Zhou Yanjun had never hated his weight of over 200 pounds as much as he did now. By the time he struggled to get out of the mud pit, Bo Yu had already disappeared.

Xia Tong chased two fluttering butterflies and unknowingly stumbled into a small grove. Lush, dark purple fruits hung heavy on the lush trees, their glossy, juicy flesh instantly drawing his attention back. He abandoned the butterflies and curiously touched the fruit, which felt cool and moist to the touch, its flesh plump and plump.

"Don't touch other people's crops! Do you think this is a free orchard?" someone whispered in his ear. Xia Tong jumped, startled, and saw a wheat-colored arm reach into view. With a "click," it plucked fruit from a branch and tossed it into a woven bamboo basket. The arm was slender, strong, and handsome. The plain cotton cuffs were neatly rolled at the elbows. It belonged to a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, an unconventional look. However, his face was expressionless, giving him a reserved look.

"I don't want to pick your fruit!" Xia Tong took two steps back timidly, put her hands behind her back and said in a low voice.

The other party just picked his own fruit in silence.

Xia Tong didn't know whether to walk or not, and awkwardly drew circles on the ground with her feet.

"I didn't mean to break in. I was chasing a little butterfly and it brought me in..." He tried to explain to ease the awkward atmosphere. Halfway through his words, the other party suddenly stuffed a fruit in his hand.

"I want to sell the rest, so don't push your luck." The man picked up the backpack and said calmly, "Can we go now?"

The surface of the fruit was wiped clean and shiny, without a trace of dust. Xia Tong was dumbfounded as she held the fruit - she was actually treated as a greedy beggar.

"I'm not going to eat your fruit!" He stamped his feet in grievance.

The other party ignored him and walked back on his own. Xia Tong hurriedly chased after him and wanted to return the fruit to him: "No, you want to sell it for money, I can't eat it."

"They won't be sold out anyway, so just eat them." The other party seemed a little impatient.

"How come such good fruit can't be sold out?" Xia Tong chased after him and chattered.

"How should I know?"

"You didn't do any promotion!" Xia Tong said, "Hey, you know what? I just heard today that live streaming can increase sales. Have you ever done a live stream?"

"I've played it." Bo Yu said slowly, "It seems to be of no use."

"Then it must be that your broadcasting method is wrong! Let me try to help you sell the goods!" Xia Tong patted his chest with high spirits.

At that time, Lin Mingfei and Shi Ya were sitting in the yard of the Bo family, each with a small stool, waiting.

Shi Ya was boredly weaving a ring with a piece of straw when Lin Mingfei's phone suddenly vibrated.

"Zero!" As soon as the call was connected, Xia Tong's crisp voice rang out from the other end: "Is Timer here?"

Lin Mingfei turned her head and said, "Yes."

"I'm going to do a live broadcast! Can Timer come support me?"

Shi Ya noticed some movement and squinted her eyes and asked, "Who called you? Xia Tong?"

Lin Mingfei: "Well, he's going to do a live broadcast, and asked you to forward it to him on Weibo."

Shi Ya: "Why didn't he call me directly?"

Lin Mingfei spread her hands: "I don't know about that?"

The word "oh" was very spiritual. Shi Ya heard a hint of showing off in it, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

"What's playing?"

"Go and take a look and you'll know." Lin Mingfei curled her lips and clicked on the link to the live broadcast room newly created by Xia Tong.

"Where is he?" Shi Ya leaned over and saw Xia Tong standing in a lush orchard, grinning at the camera with a lovely smile showing off his little white teeth.

"Hello everyone! My name is Xia Xiaotong! Today I will introduce to you the big plums produced in Bojiazhuang! Look at the color! How beautiful! The weight! How solid!" He raised his hand, his slender white fingers curled up, holding a firm and plump purple fruit.

"Eating broadcast?" Shi Ya's mouth twitched. "Where did he get these plums?"

Lin Mingfei didn't say anything, but just stared at the little Omega on the screen.

Xia Tong's eyes sparkled: "Now I'll give it to everyone to eat——"

"Hungchi" a mouthful.

The extremely sour juice filled the mouth, as if a car wheel was rolling over the rough oral mucosa.

Bo Yu, who was outside the camera, leaned back strategically and saw that the little Omega's tender and delicate face instantly turned into a mask of pain.

Xia Tong's tears streamed down his face due to the sour taste. It took him more than ten seconds to recover. He stiffened his tongue and forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Sweet! So sweet! Who doesn't say that the big plums from Bojiazhuang are sweet! QAQ"

Bo Yu slapped him in the face.

Reverse sales are the most deadly.
