Chapter Eight: Little Sweet Girl
Li Yunxing often felt pain. He always felt that he was ordinary, even cowardly, and he couldn't even muster the courage to ask questions.
But she always seemed carefree and happy. She had a group of very, very good friends around her.
That's fine, whether he's there or not, it doesn't really make a difference.
Spring has arrived! The gentle breeze seems to have blown away all the chaos, and there are no more withered leaves occasionally falling from the branches.
The snail extends its tentacles briefly, then quickly retracts them.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yunxing stopped approaching her, though occasionally some of his gaze fell upon her. You Suian noticed his retreat and smiled slightly, though the smile was rather unpleasant.
They returned to their state after the winter break, and would not have any contact unless absolutely necessary.
After several exams, time seemed to fly by.
It turns out that a few light test papers can have such great power.
You Suian doesn't seem like a good student. After all, she doesn't do her homework days in advance, and she doesn't hand in her tests early. In fact, she often finishes her tests in the last minute or two.
But she likes it this way, she likes to control the pace, even if it's a little slow.
She has performed well in the recent exams, ranking as high as 5th in the grade and as low as 16th.
She looked at Li Yunxing, who had been climbing from the bottom of the class to the top of the grade. Last time, he had already ranked 43rd in the grade, which was considered average in the class.
Her eyes were vacant, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
Never mind, I shouldn't be thinking about such random things. It's vacation time! Even though summer vacation is only about a month long, I still had a lot of fun visiting Sui'an.
Huh? Who is this person?
You Sui'an looked at the friend invitation sent to him on the game interface.
She looks familiar... who is she again? Ah! She remembered, this is the one Zhao Zhi pulled to guide him. Strange, why did he pull her here?
I don't know when he sent me the friend request, but You Sui'an accepted it without a second thought. We've never played together, and I'd almost forgotten about him.
This person's ID is Little Cloud.
She thought of someone. Then she shook her head. How could that be?
Although he also knew Zhao Zhi.
Although this person's ID is very similar to his name.
But why is this person playing support? I think he usually plays jungle?
It doesn't matter, since You Sui'an can carry me, so I can let him do whatever he wants.
She really enjoyed playing with Gongsun Li. Seeing him lock up Yao, You Sui'an chuckled softly; it felt so good. She liked it.
However, it's obvious that Li Yunxing doesn't really know how to play. His support skills are about the same as Zhao Zhi's. He just hangs on You Sui'an's head and can only refresh the shield at most.
Fortunately, he was quite obedient and stayed by You Suian's side at all times, which made You Suian quite satisfied.
Li Yunxing was quite discouraged, feeling like he couldn't understand the game.
So in the next game, he switched to jungle and typed, trying to cover up his mistake, that he forgot to switch lanes in the previous game.
You Sui'an was unaware that Li Yunxing had already made up his mind to practice support skills properly.
Even though they were a marksman and a jungler, their teamwork was excellent. Together, they completely overwhelmed the opposing team.
At this point, the top laner was a bit frustrated. He couldn't beat the opponent and typed a message to Li Yunxing: "Is the bottom lane your daddy? Stop focusing only on the bottom lane."
You Sui'an couldn't help but smile. Li Yunxing was also a little embarrassed and typed an apology in reply.
You Sui'an was somewhat incredulous. How could a jungler be so polite? She herself would never do that when she played.
Such a good temper, could she be a sweet girl? While it's rare to see sweet girls playing jungle, they definitely exist. Besides, this person never used their mic and was very polite to her. And besides, "Little Cloud" sounds more like a girl's name, doesn't it?
Actually, this was just a little mischievous thing that happened to Li Yunxing during his teenage years: using the sweetest name to beat up the other side.
Unbeknownst to You Sui'an, the more she thought about it, the more she felt she had met a sweet girl. She was in a good mood. She had always liked sweet and cute people.
Now she wasn't surprised. Although junglers often duo queue with their support teammates, this guy came over to invite her to play, so he probably just liked her skills.
She felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
At this moment, Li Yunxing gave the red buff to her again, and You Suian accepted it with a smile, once again marveling at how cute this sweet girl was.
For a long time, they played games together, and the two gradually became familiar with each other. You Suian would occasionally complain to him about school.
For example, the foolish principal inexplicably cursed everyone during his speech, and proudly said that his son was in high school and didn't play on his phone, and only allowed to watch TV for ten minutes.
You Sui'an felt a sense of suffocation.
She thought to herself that it was fortunate that her history teacher, a very gentle and refined vice principal, was in charge of their grade. He was most opposed to not giving students holidays and assigning a lot of homework.
Therefore, they have at least another month of summer vacation left.
Li Yunxing was afraid of giving himself away, so he rarely brought up these things. However, he always thought smugly, "Hmph, I know all that you're talking about. You didn't expect that, did you?"
Moreover, if You Suian is teaming up with someone else, he will definitely be careful to see if his friend might be playing with him, otherwise he might accidentally expose his identity when playing with his classmates.
Of course, Zhao Zhi is an exception, since You Suian sees him as just an ordinary online friend of Zhao Zhi.
Zhao Zhi naturally wouldn't undermine his good brother, although he was somewhat disappointed in Li Yunxing's timid behavior.
It was a secret joy, known only to him, but forever hidden from the light of day. But he had already decided not to bother her anymore.
Summer vacation has started, but I don't really like to go out much in Sui'an. The summers in this city are humid and stuffy, and the air always seems sticky, like a steamer.
She likes to stay at home, occasionally playing the guitar, reading novels, and playing games.
After all, this city can't live without air conditioning in the summer.
But occasionally, I feel a little disappointed.
However, if a good friend invites her, she will naturally accept the invitation without hesitation.
Yan Yuan was still as cheerful and sunny as ever; seeing her made me feel relaxed and happy during my trip to Sui'an.
"Come on, come on, help me pick out some clothes. The ones I picked out aren't very nice," she thought for a moment, then added, "A dress is fine too."
You Sui'an raised an eyebrow: "A skirt?"
Yan Yuan said frankly, "Hmm, I've taken a fancy to someone, so I'm going to dress up nicely."
You Sui'an looked at her with some curiosity.
Yan Yuan continued, “I have never met such a gentle person.”
You Suian's eyes darkened. She had also seen a very cute person, but unfortunately, it was an act. Yan Yuan didn't notice her situation.
You Suian wasn't surprised. Yan Yuan had always preferred gentle people. She nodded and smiled as she led her to pick out clothes.
The school allows students to wear school uniforms, but they must be below the knee and cannot expose the shoulders or back.
You Sui'an looked around and realized that the most common colors, such as pink, white, and blue, were not very suitable for Yan Yuan.
"How about this?" You Suian took out a pale yellow dress, bright yet elegant, full of youthful vitality, and a good match for Yan Yuan.
Yan Yuan's eyes lit up: "This is good! I'll give it a try."
You Suian sat outside waiting for her, but the time was short, and You Suian's thoughts kept wandering.
Yan Yuan came out shortly after. It was clear that the dress accentuated her waistline beautifully, and Yan Yuan was very satisfied.
After paying the bill, they went to pick out two more outfits. You Sui'an also chose a light green long dress, and Yan Yuan exclaimed, "Is this the legendary pure and innocent little flower?"
You Sui'an laughed heartily at her words, thinking to himself, even if it's a white flower, it's more like a daffodil or lily of the valley. It looks clean and white, but it's not harmless at all.
They found a restaurant to eat at, then went for a stroll, and around 3 p.m., they went to a dessert shop to rest.
Seeing that it wasn't ready yet, Yan Yuan asked You Suian curiously, "You really like sweet things. Have you met any sweet little brothers?"
You Suian was a little stunned, smiled, and didn't say anything. She wasn't sure what she thought of Li Yunxing, but she didn't plan to tell Yan Yuan, who knew Li Yunxing, as it would be awkward.
Another thing is, there's a feeling of guilt, like I've done something wrong.
Yan Yuan sensed something was amiss, but it didn't quite seem right. She wasn't sure, so she decided to stop guessing. Anyway, You Sui'an would tell her after they talked.
A trip to Sui'an takes two or three days to recover from, it's just too tiring. Her mother usually tries to take her shopping, but she doesn't really want to go. She's always intimidated by her mother's enthusiasm for shopping, so she often comes home with a sore back and legs.
You Sui'an isn't planning to go out lately, so he's just taking out his games to play.
Oh dear, the little sweet girl is pulling her again, she's so clingy. Hehe.
Without a second thought, You Sui'an clicked "agree".
The sweet girl has recently taken to playing support roles, especially cute and adorable ones like Yao and Cai Wenji, and she's getting better and better at it.
They played until very late, and as the night deepened, You Sui'an suddenly felt like confiding in someone.
Anyway, the sweet girl doesn't know her and won't think she's embarrassing.
She used to play both jungler and marksman, but now she plays jungler most of the time.
[Baby Sticker Assistance]: I have a friend I haven't spoken to for a long time, but I keep thinking about him lately.
Li Yunxing's hand suddenly fell down. Was this referring to himself? He thought for a moment, then simply typed a question mark.
[Assisting Baby with Stickers]: Oh well, we should have disliked each other, but I've been acting really strange lately.
Li Yunxing's breathing became a little rapid; he almost wanted to say that he didn't dislike her. But he held back.
[Little Cloud]: Why did you break up with me?
Li Yunxing even used the slightly cute interjection "ya" to minimize his aggression and make himself appear more sincere. He wanted You Sui'an to open up.
You Sui'an didn't respond for a long time. She felt it was embarrassing that she was being so hesitant and letting Li Yunxing control her emotions. She shouldn't be like this.
Forget it.
You Sui'an sent a message—"Sorry, I don't know how to say it."
Almost simultaneously, the other person sent a message—"Sorry, I was a bit presumptuous."
You Sui'an quit the game, shifted his position, and found a comfortable spot to sleep.
Li Yunxing was left alone, bewildered and helpless. What did You Sui'an mean by those words? Why has he been acting strangely lately?
He thought about the time when he felt something was off, and that was when he realized it.
You Sui'an...Is You Sui'an like him?! He trembled with excitement at the mere thought of it.
Tonight is destined to be sleepless.
Li Yunxing knew that as long as there was even the slightest hope, he should not be afraid anymore.
He couldn't bear to part with it, nor could he let it go.
