Chapter Five: Playing Games
They chatted casually as they slowly walked back. However, it was clear that You Sui'an and Li Yunxing didn't start a conversation directly; they were merely responding to Zhao Zhi's words.
Although You Sui'an still has a lot of homework, You Sui'an is not in a hurry. Walking faster will only save a few minutes. Well, actually it's because walking faster is too tiring. You Sui'an is lazy.
The group fell silent as they passed the teaching building, quietly climbing to the fifth floor.
Their teaching building was built in recent years. It occupies a large area, is closer to the playground and the school gate, and is quite impressive. The first and second year high school students all live in this building.
Unfortunately, their class of first-year high school students were on the upper floors, and they were exhausted from climbing to their classrooms every time.
You Suian suffered greatly from this; he had to catch his breath every time he climbed the stairs.
Zhao Zhi walked at the front and gently pushed open the back door of the classroom.
The study hall is very quiet. When you open the door, people often look back, which is actually quite normal.
But today, as soon as they went in, Teacher Li, who was sitting on the podium, couldn't help but laugh, and immediately turned red in the face. He was really embarrassed, after all, he hadn't given them the keys.
You Sui'an's ears also turned red. Li Yunxing's face was even redder, as if it were being roasted by fire.
Then everyone burst into laughter.
Teacher Li slowly began, "Ah, those two really locked up the Zhixing Building. So, starting today, the class committee members on duty need to remember to take attendance every day. Otherwise, we won't even know when two people are missing from the class."
Another burst of laughter followed.
Feeling embarrassed by the sudden awkwardness, You Sui'an quickly returned to his seat.
I hadn't been doing my homework long when the class ended, and the classroom started to get noisy.
You Suian glanced at the seat next to her. She missed Tang Qingyue a little and went out to look for her.
Their building was tall, and the mountain was high, so she could see the orange-yellow isolated island very clearly.
At night, the city shrinks into a tiny mass, shrouded in an unfathomable darkness.
She suddenly felt a little lonely.
The classroom was still lively. She looked around and went back.
Zhao Zhi winked at Li Yunxing: "Have you and You Sui'an made any progress?"
Li Yunxing fell silent after being asked the question, unsure of how to respond. He then clenched his fist and made a gesture as if to extend it towards Zhao Zhi: "Ask me again and I'll beat you up."
How could this happen? Why did he impulsively become concerned about You Suian? It would have been so much better if things had remained peaceful.
Zhao Zhi understood Li Yunxing's shy and proud nature, so he didn't ask any more questions. He was just a little disappointed in her, as he had never met such an awkward person.
Oh dear, this won't do.
Although Li Yunxing said that she could definitely finish the homework, it was still very painful to actually do it. How could there be so much? She couldn't stand this lousy school anymore.
You Suian... Li Yunxing wondered if she could finish writing, when she saw You Suian writing furiously.
No, why am I thinking about her again? It must be because I spent too much time with her today.
Li Yunxing shook her head, trying to clear her mind.
Time always flies when you're rushing to finish your homework. The bell rang, and everyone gradually returned to their dormitories.
Male dormitory 607.
When Li Yunxing and Zhao Zhi returned to the dormitory together, almost everyone was already there.
When their roommate Xiao Chou saw them return, he suddenly asked a barbed question: "So, did any sparks fly when you were alone in a room with You Sui'an, a man and a woman all by yourself?"
Xiao Chou was very handsome, with captivating eyes that seemed to look at everyone with affection. He also had decent grades and loved hanging out with girls, making him quite popular with them, which he was happy to receive.
However, this does not include You Suian. It's clear that Xiao Chou really wanted You Suian to experience his "charm," but obviously it never worked.
You Suian always had a faint smile on her face, but she would only politely reply to his attempts to strike up a conversation, let alone take the initiative to chat with him.
Li Yunxing was a little confused. No, what was he trying to do?
Li Yunxing ignored him and didn't mention that there was another person there at the time.
Xiao Chou's smile faltered, and he muttered to himself, "Pretending."
Seeing Xiao Chou's bad expression, Zhao Zhi stepped in to smooth things over: "No way, there was someone from another class when I went there, how could there be any sparks of love?"
Li Yunxing gave a curt "hmm" and didn't want to say anything more.
Xiao Chou clicked his tongue and turned away to attend to his own business.
In fact, Li Yunxing knew that You Sui'an was very likable. He secretly thought that he was the only one who disliked her.
Therefore, Xiao Chou has no need to be hostile towards himself.
However, Li Yunxing wasn't familiar with Xiao Chou and wasn't prepared to explain anything.
Moreover, he didn't think You Sui'an would be interested in Xiao Chou. That was his intuition.
Of course, Xiao Chou didn't like You Suian either. He just enjoyed the feeling of being admired, and it just so happened that You Suian was good-looking, had good grades, and a good personality.
In fact, Li Yunxing didn't understand either. Xiao Chou was a pretty good person, but he seemed to enjoy being pursued by the opposite sex and especially wanted girls to like him, even though he didn't lack admirers.
That day, he looked in the mirror and suddenly said, "Someone said in a love letter that being handsome is just my least important advantage."
Listening to gossip has always been a great pleasure during student days. When his roommates heard him say this, they all crowded around to ask him more.
Xiao Chou didn't seem to want to reveal who the girl was, but he couldn't resist everyone's curiosity.
"Qi Xiaoqian?" She has a bright and elegant appearance. If you were to ask who is the most beautiful in their class, most people would probably say it's her.
"Zhou Yaya?" She was very cute, with big, sweet eyes that blinked rapidly.
"You Suian?" You Suian was gentle and harmless, with a high nose bridge, red lips and white teeth. He always had a warm smile on his face and had a very peaceful temperament, yet he was also lively.
However, You Sui'an is too outstanding. Although she is gentle, associating her with romance always makes people feel distant and hesitant.
Although Li Yunxing did not participate in these speculations, he was still momentarily stunned when You Suian's name was mentioned.
Touring Sui'an is a beautiful and very charming place. Li Yunxing had always known this. However… when her name was associated with Xiao Chou, Li Yunxing felt a little uncomfortable.
I guess it's because I hate her so much that just hearing about her annoys me.
Finally, one of the roommates tentatively asked, "It's not Tao Yan, is it?"
Tao Yan is fairly good-looking, but she has a lot of pimples on her face. She is usually very loud and has a high presence in the class. She also likes to chat with Xiao Chou.
Xiao Chou suddenly started stammering: "How...how could that be? I already said I wouldn't say, so stop guessing." He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Zhao Zhi elbowed Li Yunxing: "Doesn't he look like he's confessing without being asked?" He's just as bad as you, Zhao Zhi added in his mind.
Now everyone probably knows, and they all say, "Yes, yes, it's not Tao Yan, we believe you."
Xiao Chou remained silent, lost in thought.
Although Li Yunxing didn't like this behavior—saying he didn't like Tao Yan while intentionally or unintentionally revealing that Tao Yan had liked him—Tao Yan's private confession had now been made public.
However, this was a matter between them, and Li Yunxing didn't intend to interfere. He wasn't very familiar with Xiao Chou, let alone Tao Yan, whom he had never even spoken to.
Moreover, this would be suspected of sowing discord and would inevitably cause a lot of trouble, so Li Yunxing did not intend to get involved. However, from that time on, Li Yunxing kept her distance from Xiao Chou's love life.
Today, Xiao Chou inexplicably brought up You Suian. Li Yunxing was feeling a bit tired, so she didn't bother with him and just gave him a cold glance.
However, Li Yunxing was not a talkative person to begin with, so the undercurrents between them did not attract the attention of others.
As night fell, the dormitory supervisor blew her whistle a few times with a strong voice, and the dormitory lights were gradually turned off.
Li Yunxing tidied up and went to bed.
For some reason, he couldn't sleep.
Lately... I seem to be paying too much attention to visiting Suian.
"Aaaaaah, I can't keep going like this." Li Yunxing scolded herself for a while, then drifted off to sleep.
Seeing their somewhat confrontational attitude, Zhao Zhi became increasingly convinced that Li Yunxing liked You Suian, because Xiao Chou had previously told him that he wanted to confess his feelings to You Suian.
Zhao Zhi secretly compared their chances of winning You Suian's favor and felt that Li Yunxing's chances of winning were very low.
First of all, Xiao Chou's appearance is probably more appealing to girls; he has almond-shaped eyes, sharp features, and a dashing, debonair look. Li Yunxing, on the other hand, is more delicate-looking, with fair skin, almond-shaped eyes, a high but not sharp nose, and thin lips.
Li Yunxing's non-threatening appearance didn't particularly attract attention.
Then, Xiao Chou's grades were quite good; he was around tenth in his class when the classes were divided. Perhaps that ranking wasn't particularly high, but what about the added bonus of being handsome? Everyone would think he was a very capable and handsome guy. As for Li Yunxing, he and Zhao Zhi were at the bottom of the class, almost failing to get into the class.
As for personality, Xiao Chou clearly knows how to chat with girls, and he gets along very well with them. Li Yunxing, on the other hand, obviously doesn't know how to interact with girls, is easily shy, and is stubborn. It's not like he's very popular with girls.
However, Zhao Zhi understood You Sui'an quite well. She often didn't play by the rules, and love is often a feeling; who can really explain it?
!
Zhao Zhi had a sudden inspiration. Li Yunxing knew how to play games, so he secretly invited the two of them to play together, which would give them more opportunities to interact.
So on Saturday afternoon, when Zhao Zhi saw You Suian online, and he and Li Yunxing had just finished a game, he immediately invited You Suian to join him.
You Sui'an finally got his long-awaited vacation and decided to indulge himself, so he didn't bring any homework home.
This morning, when the holiday started, Li Yunxing noticed that her throat was a little uncomfortable and hoarse. She guessed that she was too excited about the holiday last night and tossed and turned, which made her catch a cold.
So Li Yunxing's microphone is off right now, but Zhao Zhi likes to chat.
As soon as the game started, Zhao Zhi tried to win her over: "Sister, Sister You, although you almost got screwed over by me last time we played together, I have some experts here today, I guarantee you'll get a free win."
Sister You? Which You? Could it be You Sui'an? Li Yunxing's hand holding the phone paused, and her heart stopped for a moment.
He casually banned one of the strongest heroes this season.
A voice came through the earphones, like a gentle breeze caressing the surface of a lake, with a slight upward inflection at the end—"Heh, you don't believe me? I should have switched to a different account."
By the end of this season, You Sui'an's account had already reached over 70 stars in the King rank. This account had only played a few dozen games, but frequently won gold medals. In addition, with various star-boosting and star-protecting cards, it progressed very quickly. Li Yunxing was about the same.
Zhao Zhi had just reached 27 stars, but the rank difference was quite large, and he almost couldn't start a three-player team.
Although he's a bit of a noob, he plays for a long time. He stays up all night playing during holidays and can find all sorts of skilled players to play with. Although many of them will find an excuse to quit after a couple of games, it's too tiring to play with Zhao Zhi.
Li Yunxing was on the blue team's first floor in this match. His teammates didn't initiate any help to pick the hero. He only came to his senses when the system started the countdown of "5, 4, 3".
With only one second left, he frantically clicked on something, and when he saw what he had chosen, he felt like the sky had fallen.
Why did they choose this hero? He's ugly and doesn't look like a pro at all.
Liu Bei's character model isn't cool enough, his gameplay isn't flashy enough, and his strength is hard to assess.
Ahhhh, Li Yunxing felt a pang of regret. Why did he click randomly? At least the system could randomly assign players with high proficiency levels, and those players with high proficiency levels were at least quite skilled.
Li Yunxing is somewhat withdrawn now, probably because she originally wanted to put on an act in front of You Sui'an.
