Chapter Eleven Little Clouds
It's been a long time since I played with Little Cloud. I logged into the game in Sui'an and took a look.
Huh? That's strange.
This time, when she was online, Little Cloud didn't invite her. Did she lend her account to someone else?
You Suian sent her a team invitation.
Two seconds later, Little Cloud entered the room. You Suian immediately started playing the game.
Today, Xiaoyunduo played jungle again. Without her support, You Sui'an felt a little unaccustomed.
During summer vacation, Xiaoyunduo asked You Suian to teach her how to play support. Later, You Suian even turned on his microphone to give her instructions, but she said that her voice was not nice and she was not used to speaking on the microphone, so You Suian never heard her speak.
During my time in Sui'an, I played marksman, and my support skills improved by leaps and bounds.
However, Xiaoyunduo is still very good at jungling, and in these few games, the pace is very fast, crushing the opponent.
You Sui'an was too lazy to type, so he directly used voice-to-text: "Not in a good mood today? I almost made the other side cry."
Little Cloud replied instantly: No, it's just... I was a little excited.
You Sui'an became interested and guessed that she might have met her idol, won the lottery, or fallen in love.
[Little Cloud]: My goddess smiled at me!!!
After thinking about it, Li Yunxing changed "crush" to "goddess".
[Baby Sticker Assistance]: Wow, that's great!
You Sui'an never expected that Xiao Yunduo was such a fangirl; she's such a lovely person.
Li Yunxing's face flushed. He felt a little ashamed when he realized that the person he was chatting with was You Sui'an.
You Sui'an watched Xiao Yunduo play jungle and had a lot of fun, so he tried it out himself for a couple of rounds. She played so well that she appeared and disappeared like a ghost, which was very exciting.
Huh? What does Li Yunxing play? He plays games too.
You Suian acted on impulse, immediately telling Xiaoyunduo that she was going to find the handsome young man and would stop fighting for the time being.
Li Yunxing's fingertips felt cold. Had she asked other boys out...?
When the phone vibrated with a message, Li Yunxing froze.
【^o^】:I learned to play games a bit after graduating from junior high. I heard you're really good at it, can you teach me?
【^o^】:My ID, Helper Baby Stickers
Li Yunxing didn't know what to say. He was wondering whether to tell the truth or play with her using a different account.
He shook his head, still preparing You Suian mentally.
[Meteor]: ...I'm afraid you'll beat me up.
【^o^】:?
【^o^】:Okay, I won't challenge you to a one-on-one fight, okay? Besides, I'm clearly so gentle.
【Meteor】: I am a little cloud.
You Sui'an was somewhat incredulous and asked whether his ID was 【小云朵】 or 【我是小云朵】.
Although the latter is unlikely. After all, such a name would be strange.
Li Yunxing closed her eyes, giving up entirely, and replied: "I've been playing with that little cloud with you all this time."
No wonder... no wonder "she" never turned on her microphone; You Sui'an just assumed "she" was shy.
You Sui'an seemed to realize something, his face filled with shock, which was then replaced by a bitter taste.
His sincerity and passion were undeniable and irrefutable. It was him.
Even then, he was watching her with great care.
You Sui'an closed his eyes and said, "I hate you."
But I like you too.
Knowing that the person she likes has been silently watching over her, You Sui'an should be happy, so why does she feel so sad?
My heart is aching a little; so this is what heartache feels like.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.
After not receiving a reply for so long, Li Yunxing suspected that she was upset because she had lied to her, and she felt a little uneasy.
[Meteor]: Um... I'm sorry. Don't be angry.
You Suian was originally going to say that he wasn't angry, but after thinking about it, he deleted that sentence and replaced it with "If you protect me well, I won't be angry."
By the time Li Yunxing realized what was happening, he had already sent a "good" message. But... he wasn't quite sure how to do it yet, even though it was much better than before.
But it would be too embarrassing to withdraw now.
Seeing that You Sui'an had logged in, he had no choice but to log in as well.
A clear, boyish voice came through the headphones: "What kind of support player do you like?"
You Sui'an was a little stunned; it really did sound nice. He replied, "Anything is fine."
You Suian then said quietly, "I thought that my sweet little girl, Xiaoyunduo, was gone just like that."
Li Yunxing smiled sheepishly.
The laughter coming from the phone was a little different from usual, but it was still pleasant to hear.
Li Yunxing pre-selected Yao. But the jungler banned her the very next second.
Huh? No, this person is outrageous.
Jungler: I hate players like you who play Yao the most. You're completely useless and just rely on your teammates to carry you. It's disgusting. I'm guaranteed to lose if I run into you.
...
Li Yunxing thought this person was crazy, but unexpectedly You Suian had already started typing: You've only learned a few words and you can't wait to show off? You're so bad.
It was impossible for him not to be angry, but after You Suian stirred things up, he felt a little secretly pleased.
She's protecting me.
Although he really wanted to play the innocent victim and gain some sympathy from You Sui'an, it was clear that he wasn't sophisticated enough and was afraid of backfiring, so he simply kept quiet.
But this person still wouldn't let it go: Oh, oh, oh, the simp is protecting her now?
Li Yunxing couldn't take it anymore. He cursed at the low score and then mocked: "I have more provincial scores than your city scores. You're a bot."
Unexpectedly, he started to speak sarcastically: "Who knows where it came from? Those who know, know."
Li Yunxing was disgusted by this person. You Suian also frowned and typed: Either restart, or go in and don't turn off the receiver, you little piece of trash.
It seems there are three rows over there, and there are no plans to reopen them.
You Sui'an's smiling voice came through the earpiece: "I'm about to swear, you can turn off the receiver after the game starts."
Li Yunxing could almost picture You Suian's cunning eyes, and her face flushed involuntarily.
The jungler wasn't afraid at all. He turned on his mic and started cursing non-stop, bombarding the enemy with all sorts of vulgar and offensive language.
You Sui'an chuckled softly and silently clicked the report button. A short while later, the system notification sounded.
You Suian raised her eyebrows; it was her turn now.
Li Yunxing was secretly listening with the receiver on, dumbfounded. You Suian was amazing; he didn't use a single swear word, yet he verbally abused him mercilessly from every angle. Meanwhile, the person on the other end had already been banned from speaking by the system for swearing and could only watch helplessly as You Suian berated them.
Li Yunxing originally wanted to help, but found that she was only making things worse and slowing her down, so she simply cheered her on from the side.
You Sui'an took a sip of water during a break.
She hadn't been this childish in a long time. In front of Li Yunxing, she seemed to have developed a strange desire to perform and protect.
Six minutes later, the teammate initiated a surrender vote, which immediately received three votes in favor. The two of them chuckled in unison and voted to surrender.
Li Yunxing knew that You Suian wasn't as well-behaved as he seemed, but she was surprised by his fierceness, yet he was still quite adorable.
Loving someone probably starts with finding them adorable.
As if to make up for all the previous regrets, You Sui'an dragged him around and played with him all day.
Exhilarating.
It wasn't until the moon climbed high into the sky that Li Yunxing remembered she still had homework to do.
You Sui'an's lazy voice seemed to knock on his heart: "Go on, my good boy." His gentle laughter was always captivating.
You Sui'an also took a break, took out his notebook and started writing and drawing.
I seem to have a lot of inspiration today.
After returning home, You Suian felt much better at school. Occasionally teasing Li Yunxing made the dull study life much more interesting. Even though she often had trouble sleeping because of her roommate's snoring, she was not particularly annoyed.
Although Li Yunxing was always teased until she blushed, she enjoyed it nonetheless.
Before the National Day holiday, they had their first monthly exam.
Although You Suian doesn't like to spend all her time studying, she would even set aside a period of evening self-study to read extracurricular books, occasionally flip through dictionaries or glossaries, and sometimes write down some passages when she was in a good mood. If she couldn't finish writing, she would take it back to her dormitory. But it is undeniable that she is very efficient in her studies and has a very solid foundation of knowledge. Although she only manages to finish her homework before it is due each day, her grades are still outstanding.
Li Yunxing is even more down-to-earth and hardworking. He stays up late every night after returning to his dormitory. Although he has only made a little progress, he is overjoyed.
The place was bustling with noise as everyone strolled leisurely after finishing their exams.
You Sui'an and Li Yunxing walked side by side, taking their time.
Li Yunxing reached out her hand, and You Suian knew he wanted him to hold her arm.
She looked straight at him, smiled and pulled her hand away, but then tentatively reached out to him again in his slightly disappointed eyes, and firmly grasped his hand.
Their fingers are intertwined.
You Sui'an also became as shy as Li Yunxing, but she still took the initiative.
She was so excited that she woke up immediately.
Her fingers seemed to still retain the warmth of Li Yunxing's body.
It was just a dream. I should have kissed him.
No, no, this isn't the time for romance. You Sui'an was frighteningly rational; even though she knew she and Li Yunxing liked each other, she had absolutely no intention of dating. Early romance is not advisable!
There's one last exam this afternoon. After your lunch break, You Sui'an packed up and headed to the exam hall.
She ran to the balcony and looked out. The blazing sun shone directly on her, and the wind carried the heat of summer.
Looks like I'll have to bring an umbrella.
This umbrella looks ordinary; you wouldn't normally pay much attention to it when visiting Sui'an.
She gently stroked it, lost in distant memories.
At that time, Li Yunxing was alone in the examination room because he was the only one who was foolish enough not to bring an umbrella and didn't go to find someone to go back with.
Just as he was about to rush into the rain, You Suian called out to him. When he looked up, You Suian saw a pair of somewhat uneasy, wet eyes.
It seemed even clearer and cleaner than the rain outside.
It was like a drop of water flowing into her heart.
You Sui'an also found it strange. In her eyes, a person's appearance was only either good-looking or passable.
One of her former deskmates was said to be handsome by many people. Even younger female students would run to their classroom door just to catch a glimpse of him from afar, and some people would even buy his contact information.
You Sui'an didn't really see anything particularly amazing about him; he just thought he was alright.
The girls she finds attractive are either delicate or cute.
It was just that Li Yunxing's eyes were so beautiful to her.
After that, her gaze was gradually drawn to him.
He's always saying one thing and meaning another. It's so funny.
Why is he always so shy? Did I tease him too much?
How come he always gets fooled by me? He's so stupid.
He's so fair-skinned, it's like he's glowing.
He's so cute.
You Sui'an opened the umbrella, but restrained himself and slowly put away his memories.
She slowly stepped into the scorching sunlight.
By the time You Suian arrived at the examination hall, almost everyone had already arrived, and he quickly found his seat.
As soon as she received the exam paper, she became completely absorbed in writing. You Sui'an is like that; sometimes her thoughts wander freely, but she can quickly detach herself from them.
She herself found it strange. But it wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
There was still one big question left. She checked the time; she had ten minutes left.
Just right.
Everything is just right.
When the time was up, the teacher came down to collect the papers.
The bustling crowd surged toward the classroom. Many people were running, running to the classroom, grabbing their phones, packing their bags, and then heading home for a long holiday.
National Day is here.
You Sui'an continued walking slowly until she saw Li Yunxing looking ahead. She had a feeling that Li Yunxing was waiting for her.
It felt as if, at that moment, dreams and reality were slowly merging.
You Sui'an jogged a few steps, then slowed down and walked over slowly.
She found it somewhat amusing; what was the rush? The person wasn't going to run away.
No, he's coming towards her. You Suian looked at Li Yunxing, watching him walk quickly towards her with a smile.
They met on their journey to each other.
Even without holding hands.
Everything is just right.
