Chapter 745 Welcome, Hibiscus
"There's another girl? Is she also from our school?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jin couldn't help but ask more questions out of curiosity.
"Of course, all the members of the school team are from Longda University."
Mu Jin fell silent again, not because she was silent, but because she began to think again about what Shen Xing had just said to her.
She could feel Shen Xing's sincerity, and she did need to earn some money herself, but she also had an inescapable fear of the competition.
After being torn between two conflicting emotions, Mu Jin finally looked Shen Xing in the eye again: "I can try, but..."
"Money is not a problem. Everyone's salary and subsidies are the same, and they are more than other teams."
"I'm not talking about money," Mu Jin quickly said. "I wanted to tell you that although joining the team requires signing a contract, you can replace me anytime if I don't perform well."
Shen Xing looked at her and could sense the pessimism in her personality. Some people are like that; they always make the worst-case scenario plan before doing anything.
This kind of personality is both good and bad.
Lowering expectations makes failure easier to accept, but it also diminishes one's confidence and passion.
"I'll take you somewhere," Shen Xing suddenly said.
"Now?" Mu Jin glanced at the already dark sky outside the window. Although it was only six o'clock, winter in Longcheng was characterized by short days and long nights.
Shen Xing nodded: "It's nearby. I specifically arranged to meet here so I could take you to see it."
He was a little excited. The base was decorated so perfectly that he couldn't wait to show it to his team members. No one who likes playing games could resist such an e-sports base.
Mu Jin was still confused when Shen Xing took her to the e-sports base in Fuyang Building.
After unlocking the phone using facial recognition, the lights inside were turned on, and the entire base was instantly revealed to Mu Jin. Her eyes widened in surprise.
"W-Where is this place?" Mu Jin asked, her face full of surprise.
"Follow me!"
As Shen Xing spoke, he walked straight into the inner room. Mu Jin quickly followed. When she saw the tables, chairs and other decorations in the e-sports room, even though the computers hadn't been installed yet, Mu Jin realized what it was all about.
"Is this the team's training base?"
Shen Xing was very satisfied with Mu Jin's expression and reaction, and couldn't help but say smugly, "How about it? Not bad, right? You can play games here after you join our team."
"This is so luxurious!"
"There's no way around it, the sponsors are just too rich." Shen Xing said, then looked at Mu Jin again solemnly and said, "Don't hesitate, come on!"
Looking at everything before her, Mu Jin was truly shocked, and she was indeed moved.
"Okay, I'll do it!"
Mu Jin nodded vigorously, as if she had made a great decision.
Shen Xing was overjoyed upon hearing this, his mouth stretching from ear to ear: "Then it's settled, welcome Mu Jin!"
Mu Jin smiled too. Although she was a naturally negative person at heart, Shen Xing in front of her kept giving her positive feedback, and she was somewhat influenced by him.
Whether it succeeds or not, you'll only know once you take that first step.
Just like Shen Xing said, we can't give up the chance to win just because we're afraid of losing!
After showing Mu Jin a proper tour of the base, the two of them took the elevator downstairs, only to unexpectedly run into Guo Yu at the elevator entrance on the first floor.
Sang Hui was also traveling with Guo Yu.
Their eyes met. Two were inside the elevator, and two were outside. It seemed like they had been chatting happily just a moment ago, so much so that all four of them still had smiles on their faces.
But when Shen Xing and Guo Yu saw each other, the smiles on their faces vanished at the same time.
"Shen Xing!"
When Sang Hui saw Shen Xing, she took the initiative to greet him: "What a coincidence, meeting you here."
Shen Xing looked at Sang Hui, his expression softening: "I've formed a school team, and the base is right here."
"Really?" Sang Hui looked surprised and subconsciously turned her head to look at Guo Yu: "This is my boyfriend Guo Yu. He also formed a school team, and the training base is here. What a coincidence."
Guo Yu looked at Shen Xing, with Sang Hui beside him, so his eyes were filled with undisguised provocation and smugness.
Shen Xing ignored him and just looked at Sang Hui, saying, "You guys go up, we're leaving first."
Okay, bye-bye.
Shen Xing didn't say much and left with Mu Jin.
Guo Yu watched his retreating figure, a smile curving his lips.
"You should know Shen Xing, right? He's quite famous in the e-sports club," Sang Hui said to Guo Yu suddenly.
Guo Yu raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly: "Of course I know."
Have you met before?
"No." Guo Yu denied it readily, and took Sang Hui's hand as they entered the elevator.
As the elevator doors closed, Sang Hui lowered her eyes slightly, her expression instantly becoming somewhat indifferent.
Because Guo Yu lied.
She knew that Guo Yu and Shen Xing must have known each other before.
When she chose to be with Guo Yu, Shen Xing met with her privately and brought up her past conflict with Guo Yu, reminding her that Guo Yu might not be sincere.
She knew Shen Xing was a good person, but at that time she still chose to believe Guo Yu.
This time, however, Guo Yu directly denied knowing Shen Xing.
This is clearly an attempt to cover something up...
"Shen Xing, do you know that boy from earlier?"
After leaving the building, Mu Jin cautiously asked Shen Xing.
Shen Xing was somewhat surprised: "You figured it out?"
"Hmm." Mu Jin nodded gently: "The way he looked at you wasn't friendly; it was hostile."
Shen Xing was surprised by Mu Jin's sensitivity and keenness, and admitted, "It's not a very friendly relationship. He inexplicably joined the e-sports club and even formed a school team. I guess he's after me."
"He's not very bright, and his personality is even worse... If you run into him in the future, try to avoid getting involved with him."
Mu Jin didn't ask for any more details, and simply said, "Okay, I understand."

The next day, the family got up early and sat down at the breakfast table.
Seeing that her son and daughter were in a good mood, Shen Jingjing prepared a very lavish breakfast: "There are only a few days left of the holiday, why don't you two sleep in a little longer?"
While eating wontons, Shen Ci said, "I felt hungry before going to bed last night, but I was afraid of gaining weight, so I didn't eat anything and went to sleep. I woke up hungry this morning."
As she spoke, she looked at her younger brother, who not only got up early but had also washed up and changed into clean clothes.
What's wrong with you?
"I'm going out after breakfast to buy some equipment at the electronics market today," Shen Xing said excitedly.
Shen Jingjing served herself a bowl of wontons, placed it on the table, and sat down. "It's good to wake up early. Aci, Mom has to go to the company soon. If you're free, take Yoda for a walk."
"OK."
Just then, Shen Jingjing's phone rang. She picked it up and sighed instinctively, then made a "shh" gesture to the two children: "Don't make a sound, your grandma."
