Gu Yueshuang's birthday was actually also her twin sister Gu Xingran's birthday. She had originally wanted to sneak back early to celebrate her birthday with her sister.
As a result, my sister said she was in training and had no time; plus her teammates said there was an event that day, so she had to stay at the base.
Gu Yueshuang knew that today was her first live broadcast event, but she felt that it was okay to broadcast it anywhere and there was no need to stay at the base.
But her teammates refused to let her go, saying that there was an important event today. When asked what the event was, they couldn't explain it clearly.
It's easy to guess that these idiots are looking for an excuse to celebrate her birthday.
As soon as she woke up in the morning, this group of people tried to trick her into picking up Heige to play.
Gu Yueshuang could tell at a glance that these people were trying to find an excuse to get her out, but she felt it was too far away and wouldn't bother her dog. She also really didn't want to hear these lame and unconscious excuses, so she took the initiative and said, "I'm going out for a walk. I'll be back an hour before the show starts. Okay?"
After Gu Yueshuang left the house, the others looked at each other, feeling something was amiss: "Letting the birthday girl go out alone? Isn't that a bad idea?"
Xu Qing scratched his head: "It feels like I'm kicking someone out."
Zhou Yao: "Was she unhappy just now?"
Xu Qing urged Lin Yanqiu, "Xiao Lin, come up and go and comfort him."
Lin Yanqiu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is inappropriate. I'll go get some dolls to decorate her live broadcast space."
Xu Qing was curious: "Are you two having another fight? That's not right. It's the girl's birthday today, after all. How can you make her angry at a time like this?"
"No..." Lin Yanqiu was at a loss for words. "Forget it, let's finish the arrangements and call her back as soon as possible."
Lu Minghao, like a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, rubbed his chin and analyzed seriously, "Indeed, they both seem to be avoiding each other these past two days."
Yang Lin: "No, they were talking yesterday."
Although the atmosphere was a bit awkward, there was no quarrel...
It doesn't look like they are arguing.
This group of born-and-bare bachelors couldn't figure out what was going on no matter how hard they tried, so they could only pretend nothing had happened and continue setting up their base.
After Gu Yueshuang went out, she went straight to the game hall. As an e-sports person with an e-sports soul, she still had to play games even when she left the base.
Of course, she wasn't looking for a place to kill time, but to catch dolls.
I need to prepare some gifts for the audience for tonight's live broadcast. I was planning to give them cotton dolls based on her prototype, but after learning about it, I found out that the production process would take a long time, and it's too late to prepare it now.
So she could only grab some dolls with her own hands to show her sincerity.
But Gu Yueshuang underestimated her current fame and popularity.
She had never left the country since returning, and had no idea how big a sensation her performance on the day of the finals had caused in the country.
She thought she could still blend into the crowd as easily as before - the worst that could happen would be that she would get more people turning their heads to look at her.
It was not until she arrived at the game hall, bought the coins, and stood in front of the claw machine that she finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
Are there too many people staring at her?
She's not wearing her team uniform today, so she shouldn't be recognized, right?
I should have put on some makeup and disguised myself before going out.
Gu Yueshuang was in a very complicated mood at the moment.
There were countless voices in her head, roughly divided into two camps. One side hoped that she would leave quickly, as there must be something wrong with this video game arcade; the other side thought that this was just a small scene, and everyone just looked at her a few more times because they thought she was pretty, and she would not be recognized.
After weighing the pros and cons, Gu Yueshuang decided to stay with a fluke mentality. After all, the coins had been bought and could not be wasted.
After a while, a boy with a cell phone and a backpack, looking very student-like, walked up to her and mustered up the courage to ask, "Are you Frost?"
As he spoke, he was trying to compare the photo with the one on his phone, fearing that he had recognized the wrong person.
"Ah?" Gu Yueshuang pretended to be stupid and picked out her first doll from the claw machine. She put the doll into her bag somewhat helplessly, ready to run away at any time.
A man who had been staring at her for a long time exposed her: "Don't pretend, Shuangshuang, I would recognize you even if you turned into ashes."
Gu Yueshuang: “…”
That sounds a bit scary.
The man also realized that this was not the right thing to say, and while scratching his head, he explained incoherently: "What I mean is that I raised you, so I know you anyway!"
Gu Yueshuang: “???”
"No, no." He spat a few times, then threw it all away and shouted with all his might, "I'm your father!"
Gu Yueshuang: "...? Are you here to mess things up?"
The man blushed and quickly bent down to apologize: "I'm sorry! Actually, I'm your fan, I was a little nervous... I didn't say the right thing... Don't mind..."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, until Gu Yueshuang could no longer hear him.
"Shh." Gu Yueshuang raised her finger to her mouth to signal them to be quiet. "I'll play for a while and then leave. Don't disturb others. Let's keep our voices down."
The student said, “That might be a little difficult… could you please sign my name for me?”
He handed over an autograph book, and when Gu Yueshuang took it, he continued with some embarrassment, "Actually, I saw the news on the forum, so many people know you're here..."
Gu Yueshuang: “???”
Gu Yueshuang looked around a little guiltily and found that more and more people were gathering around.
She took a step back and tried to find an excuse to run away: "Keep a low profile. It's not good to disturb the boss's business. Otherwise..." Leave first?
Before she could finish her words, the boss came over enthusiastically and shook hands with Gu Yueshuang excitedly: "You are Frost? Welcome to our shop, I will give you a free meal right away, I wish you a happy time!"
“No, no need!”
Before she could finish her words, the boss disappeared in a flash.
It seemed as if someone responded not far away: "You're welcome!"
The place was a bit noisy and she couldn't hear clearly.
Gu Yueshuang: “…………”
?
Is there something wrong?
Gu Yueshuang wondered: "Don't you guys go to work or school?"
The student muttered, "It's Saturday today, Brother Shuang, aren't you jet-lagged? ...Isn't it only an hour difference?"
The male fan who was previously incoherent asked tentatively: "I don't have any paper, can you sign on my clothes?"
Gu Yueshuang: "...I don't have a pen, and this is not good, right?"
When she had no expression on her face, she looked fierce, as if she was in a bad mood, and few people dared to talk to her.
But after someone set a precedent, she acted very easy to talk to, so the crowd surrounded her in three layers.
Gu Yueshuang looked at the huge crowd and felt it would be difficult for her to run away.
This group of people still had a conscience and left her a circle, but it was a bit noisy...
"Worlds is truly awesome! I'm so proud of myself!"
"Isn't today your birthday? Why are you here alone?"
"Everyone, spread out a little, don't rush to frost!"
"Is it really Brother Shuang himself?"
"I want an autograph, too—!"
Gu Yueshuang grabbed the phone in her pocket, hesitating whether to call Lin Yanqiu for help.
She hesitated for two seconds, then tried to calm the onlookers down: "Everyone, please disperse and do what you need to do... It's not good to disturb others. Are you here to play games or to see me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a petite girl squeezed into the crowd, holding a cup of milk tea in front of Gu Yueshuang, her eyes sparkling: "Thank you for making us female gamers proud! I'll treat you to some milk tea. It's unopened, and the straw is also sealed for you to check... It's the original three-point sugar flavor you like, but since it's cold, I bought you a hot drink. Do you mind?"
Gu Yueshuang was somewhat at a loss in the face of this unexpected enthusiasm, and handed the doll in her hand to her: "Thank you, I'll trade with you."
"Why are you so cute?" The female fan couldn't help laughing. Seeing Gu Yueshuang's embarrassment, she asked very understandingly, "Do you want to leave? I'll take you out. You can't reason with them. You have to leave directly."
As she spoke, she took Gu Yueshuang's hand and very skillfully made way for her in the crowd: "Please make way, please. Thank you."
It was almost effortless as the fans consciously made way for her.
"Happy birthday!"
A fan waved and shouted, followed by a flurry of “Happy Birthday”.
Gu Yueshuang walked out of the crowd, looked back, waved to them in thanks, and then was stuffed into a taxi by the female fan who cleared the way for her.
The female fan was afraid that Gu Yueshuang didn't have any money, so she gave the driver a fifty-dollar advance. When Gu Yueshuang wasn't paying attention, she slipped a keychain into her hand, closed the car door, and waved, "This is your birthday gift. I don't have anything else, so I'm giving this to you. You must always be happy."
Gu Yueshuang was confused from beginning to end.
When I came to my senses, the car had already started for a while.
Most of the things she received along the way were malicious, and she has become very skilled at digesting them.
It was not until now that she realized that she didn't know how to deal with this sudden kindness.
She actually didn't see clearly what the fans in the arcade looked like, but it seemed that without exception, they all had enthusiastic smiles.
very nice.
The driver saw her smile in the rearview mirror and asked, "Are you not dazed anymore? Where are you going?"
She looked down at the acrylic keychain, which had a Q-version image of her on it, with Annie's hair accessory on her head, holding a majestic big black dog, and a Tibbers bear next to it - as if it had been thrown aside.
——What strikes the soul the most is that there is an open book hanging above his head, which must be the Book of Murder.
This generation of fans is thoughtful.
Her eyes finally fell on the big black dog, and she told the driver the new address of Grandpa Lin's house.
It’s still early and I can’t go back to the base, so I might as well go to Grandpa Lin’s place to see Brother Hei.
She first called Grandpa Lin to make an appointment, and then called Fang Butao to report that she was safe.
Since her photos at the arcade were posted on the forum, Fang Butao probably knew about it, and we couldn't let them worry in vain.
The driver gave her the change and said, "Your friend gave you too much, so you keep it."
"Thank you." She sighed. She had originally wanted to catch dolls to give back to her fans, but now it seemed like she was causing trouble for them.
As soon as she got off the elevator, Brother Hei smelled the scent and opened the door to come out to greet her.
Gu Yueshuang touched its head and said, "Brother Hei, long time no see."
Grandpa Lin also walked to the door and looked at her with a smile: "I was worried that it didn't recognize you, but it stood up when it heard your voice on the phone."
Gu Yueshuang greeted him politely: "Hello, Grandpa Lin, long time no see."
Grandpa Lin teased her: "Why are you stuttering? Did you buy milk tea?"
Gu Yueshuang said awkwardly: "It's a gift from a fan... I came here empty-handed, do you mind?"
Grandpa Lin led her in and asked, "Why, can I still kick you out?"
"I was kicked out of the base and came to you for help." Gu Yueshuang sighed again and began to talk about what happened to her today.
While listening, Grandpa Lin took out the prepared dessert from the kitchen and placed it on the table, motioning for her to eat.
After listening to this, Grandpa Lin fell into deep thought and said with a hint of regret: "I was thinking of asking you to help walk the dog, but it seems that won't work."
Gu Yueshuang: "I don't mind, but I'm worried that you won't be able to walk the dog properly in the future."
When they are not around, if the old man is caught walking his dog by fans, he can use the excuse that the dog just looks similar.
If Gu Yueshuang takes him out for a walk and then posts it online, Brother Hei will have no peace anymore.
Gu Yueshuang never thought that being popular could become a trouble.
She had nothing to do anyway, so she chatted with the old man for a while, and soon Lin Yanqiu came.
Gu Yueshuang was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"
Lin Yanqiu made an excuse: "Brother Tao asked me to take you back to the base."
After greeting Grandpa and Brother Hei, he said that the driver was still waiting downstairs and did not stay long.
After the guests were sent away, only Grandpa Lin and Brother Hei were left in the room. The man and the dog stared at each other for a long time. Grandpa Lin sighed, "The child has grown up. I can't keep him anymore..."
"Woof!"
After the two Cs of POG got on the car, they looked at each other in silence, and the air was filled with awkwardness.
The two spoke almost at the same time—
Lin Yanqiu: "Actually, it's not..."
Gu Yueshuang: "I'm going back now..." Is it okay to go back to the base?
The two of them stopped at the same time and said in unison: "You speak first."
Gu Yueshuang drank milk tea, blocked her mouth physically, and stretched out her hand to signal Lin Yanqiu that he could speak.
Lin Yanqiu played with his fingers to try to ease his nervousness, talking about some unimportant topics: "Actually, it wasn't Brother Tao who asked me to come. I saw your photo on the forum and knew you were going to be surrounded, so I took a taxi and left directly. I got a call from Brother Tao when I was almost at the arcade..."
Gu Yueshuang nodded. If she hadn’t met that enthusiastic female fan, she might really need Lin Yanqiu to save her.
When did she start to rely so much on Lin Yanqiu?
Lin Yanqiu cautiously glanced at Gu Yueshuang's expression and said, "If you feel... embarrassed, you can just pretend that nothing happened that day."
"?"
Gu Yueshuang put down the milk tea and finally showed some emotion.
Lin Yanqiu thought she was angry. He was indeed a little abrupt that day, nervous, frustrated and incoherent: "Actually... it's okay, I'm sorry, it was me that day..." I was so presumptuous.
Gu Yueshuang interrupted him: "I am an adult."
Lin Yanqiu was a little confused: "What?"
He was like a child who had done something wrong, not sure whether he would be criticized or forgiven. He was eagerly looking forward to it, but did not dare to face the result.
Gu Yueshuang repeated it slowly: "I mean, I'm an adult now, so it's not considered puppy love."
Lin Yanqiu no longer knew what her mood was at the moment, nor what expression she saw on her face.
The numbness starts from the heart and spreads to every part of the body.
The only thing he was sure of now was that his heart was beating like a drum. Apart from her voice and his own heartbeat, he could no longer hear or sense anything else.
Finally, Lin Yanqiu himself didn't know why, but after his brain crashed for five seconds, the first command after restarting was...
"Congratulations?"
Damn, my brain seems to be broken.
Lin Yanqiu thought with a sad face.
