Chapter 29
Pei Zhi's expression was brilliant, and all the blood in his body seemed to be concentrated on his face. His handsome face flushed red to an astonishing degree. There was no trace of his usual cool and relaxed look.
He stood there like a fool, wanting to say something but stopping for a long time, and finally couldn't utter a word.
He did think of some rather extraordinary things just now, such as Xie Ning leaning there was very beautiful, and wearing an eye mask was even more charming. But he definitely didn't think so deeply...
Well, he didn't dare to guarantee it.
Pei Zhi was distracted just now, and many thoughts flashed through his mind intensively. Even he himself was not sure what he was thinking. His rapidly changing thoughts were like fragments, and like snow water that melted when it touched water, and there was no way to verify it.
"Just a joke."
Xie Ning raised her lips slightly and gently placed her hand on the back of Pei Zhi's hand. Pei Zhi subconsciously held his palm. He put on the blindfold for himself with his other hand and leaned back again, "Hold me, I'm going to sleep."
The drowsiness brought by motion sickness made Xie Ning not want to talk more. This street has been under construction all year round, and even the most stable car will shake. Even if the master's driving skills are very good, there is no way to avoid the shaking of the car body.
Xie Ning felt a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, the smell in the car was not bad, and there was a faint and refreshing fragrance. If it was the smell on the bus, plus there were many people and noise... he might really not be able to stand it.
As for keeping a distance from Pei Zhi, his previous behavior was a bit hasty, and it seemed to have caused Pei Zhi to have a stress reaction? He should gradually reduce the contact between the two of them step by step, allowing them to return to normal social interactions step by step.
In the quiet environment, Pei Zhi's heartbeat sounded louder. He opened his lips and wanted to say something, but he didn't know why he was hesitating and closed his mouth again.
When Pei Zhi finally plucked up the courage to speak, Xie Ning seemed to have anticipated it and put her slender white fingers against her lips. Xie Ning said, "Don't make any noise and be good."
As if he had received an order, Pei Zhi immediately stopped talking and just stared at Xie Ning with a very hot gaze.
The penetrating power of this line of sight was so strong that even if she was wearing a blindfold, Xie Ning could clearly feel the real gaze. He sighed silently and took off the blindfold again: "Do you have anything to say?"
Pei Zhi looked a little eager, but perhaps his inner cultivation made him restrain himself. He asked with some reserve: "Is that okay?"
Xie Ning was just teasing Pei Zhi just now, and he saw Pei Zhi's frightened expression as he wished. It is not good to scare people, but if you are the one who scares people, you will feel very happy.
But now, the one who is scared has become Xie Ning. He looked at Pei Zhi in disbelief: "Are you serious?"
Xie Ning looked at Pei Zhi very seriously: "Pei Zhi, this is not what a straight man would do."
"But starting today, I'm no longer a straight man." Pei Zhi said, "I'm a lesbian."
Xie Ning: "This joke is not funny."
Pei Zhi: "Okay."
The car was very quiet, and Pei Zhi's heartbeat was still at a chaotic frequency.
Pei Zhi suddenly realized that Xie Ning seemed... able to accept that he was a lesbian?
But... it's hard to say.
Many boys would also make jokes about fencing with each other. This kind of joke is nothing to them. Anyway, it didn't really happen. It's just a verbal advantage. It's like calling dad to bring food. What does calling dad mean to them? Having food is enough. Calling dad, can the other person really become his father?
Just like, if Pei Zhi calls Xie Ning his wife, is Xie Ning really his wife?
Pei Zhi's eyes paused, and gradually, quietly moved to Xie Ning, looking at Xie Ning's face.
... Why not?
...
The KTV box is very large, with a singing area, as well as an area for playing board games and billiards. It is more like a comprehensive entertainment venue. There is a special smoking room next to it, which is also what Xie Ning is most satisfied with.
Someone just came out of the smoking room in front, with a pungent smell of cigarettes on his body. Xie Ning has a sensitive sense of smell. As soon as he turned his head, a wide coat covered his head, blocking all the unpleasant smells.
Xie Ning smelled the smell of Pei Zhi.
Pei Zhi took off his coat only after they walked away and the smell faded. He bent down and used his hands to help Xie Ning tidy up her slightly messy hair: "Does it sting?"
Xie Ning shook her head: "No."
Pei Zhi's coat came just in time. He just smelled a little bit of smoke, and before his nose could react, the lingering smoke was replaced by another pleasant smell.
"Do you have rhinitis?" Pei Zhi remembered that when Xie Ning first moved to the dormitory, she often took medicine to treat rhinitis. He asked, "Have you always had it?"
Xie Ning: "When I was a kid, I got caught in the rain when we moved, and I've had rhinitis since then. But it's gone now."
Pei Zhi said, "It's cured."
Xie Ning: "Yeah, it's cured."
Gu Nian and Chen Xi were drowsy in the car, but they were alert when they got out of the car. They looked at the exquisite decorations around them and kept saying "Wow".
Gu Nian: "Hey! Fang Ke asked me to play games, do you want to go? It seems like they are playing a 5v5 team game, and they have only six people now."
He pointed at himself, then pointed at Xie Ning and the others, "Including us, there are exactly ten of us."
Pei Zhi had no problem, he looked at Xie Ning. Xie Ning hesitated and said, "I can't play games."
Chen Xi: "What's the big deal if I can't play games? I'm not good at it either, but it's okay, Brother Pei is really good at it."
He put his hands together and said, "Please, you must come. If you don't come, Brother Pei will definitely not come. In this case, we are missing a great player, and we will definitely lose badly..."
Chen Xi was not humble. His gaming skills were indeed average, and could only be said to be in the middle. With such a level, he couldn't lead the overall rhythm. Once he met a worse teammate or a stronger opponent, there was no possibility of winning.
Xie Ning glanced at Pei Zhi. Although Pei Zhi didn't say a word, everyone seemed to believe that as long as he came, Pei Zhi would definitely come.
But he really didn't like to cause trouble for others. If he was not good at the game and was held back, it would not be good. Everyone looked at him expectantly, and he could only say: "Okay, but I really can't..."
"It's okay." Pei Zhi curled his fingers and gently hooked the side of Xie Ning's face, "I can do it, that's all."
Chen Xi and Gu Nian chose to go to the gaming room to play with them face to face. Pei Zhi was afraid that it was too noisy or bustling there, and he was also afraid that Xie Ning would be nervous because it was her first time playing.
Pei Zhi preferred to play games alone with Xie Ning in a room.
Gu Nian and Chen Xi invited her, and Xie Ning agreed to go together. Although Pei Zhi was unhappy, he still followed Xie Ning to the gaming room.
There were not many people in the gaming room, about 15 or 16 people including them. Another group of people were playing PC games in front of their computers, while they were playing mobile games on the sofa by the window.
Chen Xi: "Do you have an account? My roommate just started playing, but he doesn't have an account. Does anyone have an extra account?"
Gu Nian: "Yes, yes, yes, one with more skins. Heroes with better-looking skins will feel better, making it easier for you to get started."
"Wait, let me ask - it seems there is, but the heroes are mainly assassins, classmate, can you do it?" Someone looked at Xie Ning and was stunned for a moment.
The young man in front of him had white skin and black hair, and a cold temperament, which raised the level of the e-sports room, as if it was some international competition. He suddenly became nervous and stammered, "Student, you are a newbie, right? If you are just starting out, you'd better not play assassin. The difficulty level is too high. I'll go ask if there are any support or mid-lane accounts with more skins and I'll get them for you..."
A cold male voice interrupted, "No, I have them."
Xie Ning originally wanted to say that there was no need to go to such trouble, since he couldn't play anyway, and having more or less skins didn't make much difference to an outsider like him.
But since Pei Zhi said he had it, Xie Ning couldn't refuse.
Pei Zhi said, "I'll send you the account number and password... Never mind, I'll log in for you directly."
Xie Ning handed the phone over, and when Pei Zhi took the phone, his fingers accidentally rubbed his knuckles. He felt a little itchy and shrank back.
Pei Zhi suddenly approached at this time, and his shadow shrouded him. In an empty corner that no one else noticed, Pei Zhi whispered, "The password is the password of my home."
Xie Ning raised her eyes.
The deep dark eyes seemed particularly focused in the dim light. Pei Zhi took Xie Ning's phone, and his voice became softer and softer, "But you definitely don't remember it."
Xie Ning really didn't remember it.
He still believed that the password Pei Zhi gave him was just a beautiful misunderstanding. He thought that Pei Zhi would change the password at home after this, but he didn't expect that he didn't.
Pei Zhi is still using that password now.
Xie Ning watched Pei Zhi log into the account and input the password. He suddenly asked: "Does the password have any special meaning?"
Pei Zhi kept it a secret: "You will know it later."
[I won't tell my wife.]
[If my wife knew, she would definitely think I'm a pervert.]
This made Xie Ning even more curious about the deep meaning behind the password.
The password is xbnnc030. Xie Ning tried to type it using the input method, but it didn't work. Pei Zhi had already helped him log into the account. The moment the phone was handed back, he saw the account name in the upper left corner and was stunned.
"Brother Pei, I'm pulling you, pull down the beautiful Xie!" Gu Nian urged. After Pei Zhi pulled Xie Ning into the team, "Fuck, Brother Pei, when did you get this account?"
Pei Zhi logged in with the account "Ningshen" and the account for Xie Ning was "Ningbao". Anyone who saw these two IDs would think too much.
The unfamiliar teammates on the side also cast an ambiguous and complicated look at him quietly.
Xie Ning was surprised: "Did you just register recently?"
Chen Xi explained: "Game ID is unique, this kind of ID is also called the natal ID, usually in the hands of those ID sellers, you have to buy it."
Xie Ning was even more surprised: "Did you buy it recently?"
Pei Zhi: "No. I bought it a long time ago, and I don't have much money."
He knew what Xie Ning wanted to ask.
"This ID is very expensive..." Someone whispered, "A certain e-sports player's name has the word Ning, and many players are scrambling for this ID. Just this 'Ningshen' was sold for five figures two years ago, and it has not changed hands since then, right? Have these accounts been in your hands all this time?"
Pei Zhi: "Yes."
Xie Ning suddenly realized.
It turned out that the word "Ning" was also the name of a well-known e-sports player. He almost mistook it...
But it was understandable. He had just moved to a new dormitory recently, and he and Pei Zhi were not from the same college or major.
Before this, they had no contact at all. How could Pei Zhi buy these accounts for him after so long?
To prevent screen peeping, the two teams were in different rooms. Xie Ning naturally followed Pei Zhi. He didn't know how to play, so Pei Zhi taught him many operations on the spot.
"This is the attack key. You can play support later. This support is simple and easy to use. You don't have to do anything, just hang on me." Pei Zhi saw Xie Ning looking at him, and he changed the subject, "It's not that you don't have to do anything. The shield you gave me is very protective. Without you, I definitely can't let go of the courage to go to the opponent's jungle area."
Xie Ning: "Oh."
"Don't be angry, I don't mean to say you are bad." Pei Zhi said, "Or you can play something else, it's all the same, it's just a game, just play it casually." "
Anyway, I will definitely not let you lose."
Chen Xi touched Gu Nian's arm, and Gu Nian sighed: "This is the first time I see Brother Pei talk so long."
"Miss Xie treats us differently, and teaches us step by step. I once tricked Brother Pei, and he quit the game and said he was going to sleep. But when I looked at the friend list, I found that the game had already started for five minutes." Chen Xi said faintly, "This is double standards."
"It's my fault that I'm not as charming as Miss Xie, and I can't seduce Brother Pei."
As the person involved, Xie Ning was a little embarrassed. Pei Zhi said, "Don't listen to their nonsense."
Pei Zhi paused for a moment and said, "I didn't say I was going to sleep, I just said I didn't want to play anymore. Later I wanted to turn on invisibility, but I forgot."
Or maybe he didn't care at all.
Pei Zhi didn't care about socializing, and he was too lazy to maintain these relationships. Gu Nian and Chen Xi were not the kind of people who cared about these small details, so they could keep playing.
If it were someone who was a little more sensitive, he would definitely feel sad because of Pei Zhi's behavior, or quarrel with him.
Pei Zhi really didn't like to explain, and he was too lazy to tell others what he was thinking. It was a waste of time.
But Xie Ning was different.
Xie Ning is somewhat similar to the former. He actually doesn't need to explain. He doesn't care about any of these things and doesn't care about these small details. But Pei Zhi likes to explain to Xie Ning and tell Xie Ning his true thoughts, fearing that Xie Ning will misunderstand him.
Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, he doesn't want Xie Ning to misunderstand. Although Xie Ning may not care.
The game has started.
Pei Zhi's strength is indeed very strong. Not long after the start, when both sides have no economy and props, he got a double kill.
Xie Ning followed Pei Zhi's ass the whole time, and didn't know what to do at all. In short, he just clicked whatever skill was lit.
"Amazing," Pei Zhi said, "Thank you Ningbao for the treatment."
[Hehehe, my wife treated me, I spit a sip of milk, sprinkle flowers! ]
[My wife is awesome, my wife is really a genius, the timing of this treatment is so cool and awesome. ]
[My wife is at this level and doesn't play e-sports, it's simply a loss to the e-sports world. ]
[Protect my wife, protect my wife, so cute, so cute, you walk clumsily, kiss me. ]
[Awesome, awesome. ]
Xie Ning pursed her lips.
Pei Zhi is too boastful... He knows what level he is at.
Xie Ning is very smart. Although it was his first time playing, he quickly found the trick and learned how to play. He was very accurate in the timing of releasing skills, and he could always target the opponent, and he always threw the control in place.
But his positioning was average, and he died in an accident.
Xie Ning's luck was not bad. Before he died, he attacked the opponent one last time. The tower's attack made up for the last bit of damage, and he got the first kill.
Pei Zhi's face suddenly darkened.
[Where's my wife? Where's my wife who's so old? ]
[My wife was just walking in front of me, why does she have to wait for resurrection all of a sudden? No, my wife is gone, and I can't live either. ]
[Without my wife, I have no fighting spirit at all! ]
At first, Xie Ning thought Pei Zhi was just joking, or just talking nonsense.
It wasn't until Pei Zhi broke into the opponent's tower alone and fought five people at once that Xie Ning realized that Pei Zhi was not joking.
Pei Zhi still managed to get two kills in a one-on-five situation when he was at a low health. He was really good at the game. It was
Xie Ning's first time to get a kill, so
he was a little nervous. Sweat oozed out of his palms.
While waiting for resurrection, Xie Ning was about to take a tissue to wipe it, but Pei Zhi took the tissue first, held his hand, and slowly wiped his fingers for him under the table.
"Fuck?! How come both of you are dead? The opponent is taking this opportunity to come and attack our hometown..." Chen Xi's eyes widened, "Everyone hold on! Our towers are basically still there, and the opponent can't get in. Let's wait for Brother Pei and Lady Xie to resurrect, and the dawn of victory is just around the corner!" Pei Zhi
simply pretended not to hear him, and just lowered his head and carefully wiped the sweat from Xie Ning's palms.
Soft fingers, round and plump nails, with a healthy pink tip. The hands are very soft, and the palm lines are also beautiful.
"Are you scared?" Pei Zhi said, "When I killed someone just now."
Xie Ning: "Should I be scared if I kill someone in the game?"
"It's hard to say." Pei Zhi said again, "But I'm a little scared."
Xie Ning: "?"
"I'm dead and waiting to be resurrected. You still have 20 seconds to be resurrected." Xie Ning didn't understand and looked at Pei Zhi. Pei Zhi's Adam's apple slid, and under Xie Ning's gaze, he spoke softly, "Can we hold hands in these 20 seconds?"
He said again, "I'm scared." He
didn't say what he was afraid of.
The time for resurrection was counting down, and there was noise in my ears, all of which were the roars and shouts of teammates, mixed with the exciting sound effects of the game.
Xie Ning looked into Pei Zhi's eyes: "Will you not be afraid if we hold hands?"
"Yes, I won't be afraid if we hold hands."
"Only fifteen seconds, do you still want to hold hands?"
"Yes." Pei Zhi said, "Even if it's only one second, I still want to."
The soft touch covered the back of his hand, and Pei Zhi quickly turned his hand back to hold Xie Ning's hand, with his large palm wrapped around the smaller hand.
With the sound of the keyboard ringing continuously, his bony fingers squeezed into Xie Ning's fingers little by little, and the ten fingers were interlocked with such force that it seemed that they were reluctant to separate.
"Are you still afraid now?" Xie Ning asked.
Xie Ning's voice was very soft amid the chaotic and loud voices, but Pei Zhi could still catch it instantly.
"Don't be afraid." Pei Zhi said, "But I'm a little excited and angry now, and I might be a little murderous later. The other side will be in trouble."
Xie Ning pulled her lips lightly, and under her long eyelashes, there was a glimmer in her eyes. He said: "Then what do I need to do?"
Pei Zhi: "Lie down."
Xie Ning: "?"
Pei Zhi finally reacted, Xie Ning didn't understand these game terms. He pinched Xie Ning's fingers, his cold voice was soaked with obvious pleasure, and undisguised coaxing: "Just wait to win."
The fifteen-second resurrection time ended, and Pei Zhi and Xie Ning resurrected one after another. Their hands loosened immediately, and they continued to immerse themselves in the game, as if the gesture of holding hands in the corner where no one noticed just now was just an illusion.
No matter how smart Xie Ning is, some operations cannot keep up with the veterans. He was caught by the opponent again, and the screen showed that he was killed again.
At the same time, the opponent sent a mocking expression.
Pei Zhi's eyes darkened inch by inch.
He didn't say anything, his eyebrows were wrinkled, and his thin lips were pressed into a tight line. Anyone who saw him would think he was very annoyed.
Xie Ning heard Pei Zhi say: "Wait."
The voice was very light, and he was not sure if it was an illusion.
Pei Zhi started to catch the opponent alone.
For a while, Pei Zhi seemed to be in a fight with the opponent, especially the player who had just killed Xie Ning, who was caught by him again and again. Every time he succeeded in killing once, he would send a mocking expression and send it on the public screen: That's it? That's it?
[With your skills, you dare to grab my wife? ]
[I’ll let you beat my wife, I’ll let you beat my wife. ]
[You were the one who hit my wife just now, right? You hit my wife with this blow, you used this expression to mock my wife, and this attack was a reward for my cool operation. Okay, you can go to hell now.]
Pei Zhi was targeted by a group of people, and five people from the opposite side came to besiege him. He entered with low blood and came out with full blood.
Double kill, triple kill, pentakill.
Pei Zhi continued to send mocking expressions and sent public messages: That's it? That's it?
[Public screen] The opposing player - Ge Shuai De Ge Shi: Godfather, concentrate, I beg you, give me some game experience.
[Public screen] The opposing player - Ge Shuai De Ge Shi: I was wrong, I shouldn't have caught Ning Bao, I kowtowed to Ning Bao, bang bang bang, don't catch me alone anymore!
[Public screen] Our player - Ning Shen: It's no use asking me, I listen to Ning Bao.
[Public screen] Opposite player - Ge Shuai is so handsome that he can do a handstand and have diarrhea: Ning Bao, is it okay? Ning Dad, I beg you, if I keep killing him with the sheet, I will lose face.
Pei Zhi looked at Xie Ning: "What do you mean?"
Xie Ning: "Then don't kill him? He's so pitiful."
Pei Zhi: "You have the final say."
[Public screen] Our player - Ning Shen: Ning Bao said it's okay, I listen to him.
Pei Zhi's obedient look made Xie Ning's face a little hot.
Xie Ning continued to lower her head to operate the character, revealing a part of her red ears. Pei Zhi took a quick look and thought Xie Ning was too hot, so he adjusted Xie Ning's collar.
Before taking his hand back, Pei Zhi gently hooked the tip of Xie Ning's chin, and quickly withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, pretending that nothing had happened.
Pei Zhi: "Ningbao, come here."
"Ah? Oh." Xie Ning came over.
At present, they are the only two alive on the field, and all teammates are waiting for the countdown to resurrection. But it does not affect the fact that they have already killed into the opposite fountain and are only one step away from victory.
Pei Zhi stood beside Xie Ning, and he said: "A."
Xie Ning a-ed Pei Zhi.
Pei Zhi's expression seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then he gently raised the corner of his lips, the amplitude was very shallow, and it was almost invisible. He moved in front of Xie Ning, lowered his head and said: "I mean, a-ed the crystal, not a-ed me."
"Oh oh..." Xie Ning was embarrassed, "I thought you wanted me to a-ed you."
[So cute. 】
【Stupid wife, super. 】
Xie Ning felt very strange, he couldn't describe this strange feeling, this feeling as if he was moving in an uncontrollable direction.
He controlled the character, a-ed the crystal, and the public screen displayed a celebration message.
【Congratulations! "Ningbao" killed the opponent's crystal! 】
【Victory! 】
Chen Xi and Gu Nian were so excited that they were crawling all over the sofa on the opposite side: "Too powerful Ningshen."
The stranger next to him also said: "Take me another hand Ningshen."
Pei Zhi looked at Xie Ning: "No, I'm Ningbao."
A group of people were laughing. Even Xie Ning couldn't help but laugh softly. A
very faint smile appeared on his cold face, and his already delicate face seemed to have an extra layer of soft light filter, which made people stunned for a moment.
Pei Zhi poured a cup of warm water for Xie Ning: "Don't be angry about the man who just mocked you. I have already helped you get revenge."
Xie Ning took the cup and drank a sip of water slowly. This game was indeed exciting. His palms were sweating the whole time.
He said: "I'm not angry. Instead, why are you always targeting him?"
Pei Zhi: "He caught you twice and mocked you. I only took his head six times. Isn't it too much?"
The cold face was reflected in the glass, and the water surface shook, spreading small ripples. Xie Ning's fingers slowly rubbed the wall of the glass: "Are you so petty?"
"Yes, I am petty." Pei Zhi said, "No one can bully you."
Bully? This is not bullying, and it's just a game. Xie Ning didn't take it seriously at all.
Just as he was about to speak, his inner voice suddenly rang out, and he was suddenly stunned.
"I don't want others to bully you."
"Not even if you're joking."
...
At the bar not far away, three or five people were sitting there, holding wine glasses in their hands.
They were all wearing trendy branded clothes, and their eyes were all looking at the person who was playing games on the sofa not far away.
This distance is not far, but also not close. Basically, the conversation can be heard clearly, and if the angle is right, some small movements can also be seen clearly.
Someone was surprised and asked: "Are you serious? Is Pei Zhi straight? He actually took the initiative to hold another man's hand?"
"But Xie Ning does look... very attractive."
"Such a cold and great face... I consider myself a lower-class person, but I think I can be the first for him."
"Is Xie Ning also gay? Then I will definitely pursue her."
Su Nan took a sip of wine irritably: "Give up on this idea. Xie Ning is definitely straight. Look, his eyes are so upright, and he doesn't look crooked at all. On the contrary, Pei Zhi is a scheming gay. I always thought he was straight, but it turns out that he is a gay pretending to be straight."
"Ah?! Pei Zhi is gay?! Impossible?!"
Su Nan glared at him, "How is it impossible? I have seen it many times with my own eyes! Pei Zhi is always attentive and caring to Xie Ning, but Xie Ning is indifferent. It is obvious that she only regards Pei Zhi as a friend. Pei Zhi is really good at pretending. I guess I am the only one who has discovered his true face. Looking at his attitude towards Xie Ning now, he must be trying to make Xie Ning a double..."
Su Nan hates this type of people the most. He has suffered from this kind of "straight man" before. Just thinking about it makes him so disgusted that he can't eat.
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and the more he wanted to vomit.
"Just wait and see how I will deal with him later."
