Watching Xu Xiu cook, all the girls outside were incredibly envious.
They all looked at their boyfriends with disgust, except for Qin Siwen, because Wen Zhicai could also cook, just not as well as Xu Xiu.
Wang Mengqi and Ning Bufan helped out in the kitchen, which was big enough for the four of them to squeeze in.
After the dishes were cooked and served, no one drank alcohol. Some drank beverages, and others drank plain water. Everyone was very casual and there weren't many formalities.
Ah Huang hid under the table to scavenge for scraps, and some people even deliberately dropped meat under it.
Looking at the untouched dog food in the bowl by the door, Xu Xiu didn't bother to say anything, mainly since it wasn't just one person deliberately dropping it...
After finishing their meal, everyone conscientiously cleared away their dishes and left, showing no intention of lingering there, except for Pang Wenjun.
"Hey Lao Xu, wanna boost your rank tonight?"
Before he could finish speaking, Han Yun grabbed him by the ear and dragged him out...
Xu Xiu followed the others out. At first, everyone thought that Old Xu was just politely seeing them off, but they found that he left with them directly.
"Doesn't Lao Xu stay in the staff dormitory at night?"
Du Yuanyuan asked in confusion.
"If Ruoyan needs to take care of Ah Huang, I need to go back to the dormitory to pack my things. I won't be staying in the staff building today. With Ah Huang keeping her company, she won't be bored."
"Want to play ranked games tonight?"
Pang Wenjun shamelessly asked again. He didn't really want it to be like this, but without Xu Xiu, there was no gaming experience at all.
Han Yun ignored him and went directly to the girls' dormitory with Wang Mengqi and Du Yuanyuan.
With no girlfriends around, the guys got together and decided to take action that night, making it a five-man team with Ning Bufan.
Back in his dorm, Xu Xiu packed his things in just over ten minutes. Packing was just an excuse; he mainly wanted to take a break. Sleeping with a beautiful woman in his arms can sometimes be a form of torture.
What Xu Xiu didn't expect was that Xiao Ruoyan was also invited by Du Yuanyuan and the others to play games together.
Their friends had all revealed their identities to no end. As soon as Xu Xiu and the others logged on, they saw the familiar IDs in their friend list and fell silent.
"Old Xu, should we fight or not?"
Pang Wenjun said cautiously.
"You can revive when you die in a game, but in real life it's worse than death. I think you should invite your girlfriends along?"
Everyone thought Xu Xiu's words made a lot of sense, and Ning Bufan was also in their dormitory.
"How can we fight together?"
"We set up a 5v5 room, with the boys in one group and the girls in another. We can win one or two rounds, but it's extremely difficult to win."
"I believe that all of you are competent actors, and it's okay for you to have occasional infighting."
Everyone gave Xu Xiu a thumbs up.
Without hesitation, Xu Xiu created a WeChat group and announced it in the group.
"5v5 PK, ladies, are you interested? If we lose, I'll buy you milk tea, and if you lose, I'll buy you milk tea too..."
Wang Mengqi scoffed in the group chat: "Old Xu, who do you think you are? If we lose, I'll treat you to drinks, best of five!"
"no problem!"
Xu Xiu replied instantly.
The girl created a separate group of five people and asked, "We can't beat them, can we?"
Du Yuanyuan asked in the group chat.
"You'll only know after you've tried!"
Wang Mengqi's skills are quite good among girls, so she wasn't afraid at all.
The boys' team won the first game with great difficulty.
In the second game, Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu had an internal conflict...
In the third game, Wen Zhicai disconnected at a crucial moment...
In the fourth game, the boys almost lost despite being on the losing end...
In the decisive game, the two sides fought for more than half an hour. In the end, Xu Xiu missed his ultimate skill, resulting in a team wipe...
The girls in the group chat were overjoyed. Xu Xiu announced in the group that he would order milk tea for everyone tomorrow, and asked them to leave a message in the group if they wanted anything.
After the game ended, the boys breathed a sigh of relief and then openly asked their girlfriends to let them play ranked matches.
The girls unanimously agreed that their skills were lacking and they needed to practice more.
When the girls watched, they noticed that their boyfriends cooperated smoothly and without any internal conflict or mistakes.
Whether it's supporting, team fighting, or split pushing, their teamwork is excellent; at least in their rank, they completely dominate the opposing team.
Wang Mengqi directly shouted in the group: "Old Xu, are you guys going easy on us?"
"No? You have to be in the right state of mind when playing games."
"Exactly! In the second game, Lao Xiao dared to ambush my girlfriend in the bushes. How could I not confront him?"
Pang Wenjun also spoke righteously and eloquently in the group chat...
"And for some reason, when I see your character, Mengqi, I release skills more slowly. It feels like I'm facing you..."
Ning Bufan's message drew the attention of several boys in the dorm. "Comrade Xiao Fan, you're quite eloquent!"
The girls in the group saw their message and felt that it made some sense.
Little Silly Boy: "Xiu, are you the director?"
Immortal: "Shh! Don't make a sound..."
Little Silly: "Image.jpg" (with a punching emoji)
Immortal: "How is Ah Huang?"
Little Silly: "Image.jpg", Ah Huang is lying between Xiao Ruoyan's breasts...
Looking at the pictures that were sent to him, Xu Xiu suddenly felt an urge to eat dog meat.
I'll let it go since she's a female dog. I haven't even had a chance to lie down there much, and a dog beat me to it.
Ning Bufan was about to return to his dormitory. He only had one roommate left; everyone else had already left.
Xu Xiu and Ning Bufan went together, and on the way, Xu Xiu asked, "Are you going to Mengqi's house for Chinese New Year this year?"
"Oh, isn't it too early?"
"It's not like I'm asking you to do anything, it's just that we should find an excuse to go to her house during the Chinese New Year. Isn't it normal for classmates to visit each other's homes?"
Hearing Xu Xiu's words, Ning Bufan was also tempted. He wanted to go and see what kind of people Wang Mengqi's parents were.
"Okay, Lao Xu, I'll do whatever you say."
After dropping Ning Bufan off, Xu Xiu returned to his dormitory and found Wen Zhicai staring blankly at the messages on his phone.
"What's wrong with Lao Wen?"
Qin Siwen said her family is going to introduce her to potential partners this year...
Seeing the somewhat dejected expression on Wen Zhicai's face, Pang Wenjun also dropped his usual smug demeanor.
"Isn't Lao Wen under the legal marriage age yet?"
“In her family, they usually arrange a marriage in advance, get married first, and then register the marriage when she reaches the legal age.”
"Moreover, her family wants her to find a local man so that they can help her out."
When Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu first saw Wen Zhicai's expression and demeanor, they knew how helpless he was feeling.
"Everyone has many things they can't control and many things they can't do. Lao Wen, don't think too much. Just take it one step at a time and work hard to improve yourself. Only then will you have the possibility of changing the future."
Hearing Xu Xiu's words, Wen Zhicai nodded solemnly. He understood these principles, but when they happened to him, he could never be so open-minded.
Pang Wenjun and Xiao Xu also said a few words of encouragement; it was rare for them to be reliable.
After the lights were turned off, Wen Zhicai took out his phone and sent a message to Qin Siwen.
"Siwen, believe me, I will change all of this."
After sending the message, I put my phone aside and slowly closed my eyes.
