Chapter 72: Remaining Calm
After the first person broke the ice, the atmosphere gradually became warmer.
Lily was always straightforward. After greeting him, she asked directly, "Mr. Tracy, why did you pay for us?"
There is no free lunch in the world, and this is the first time they meet, right?
The short-haired girl still had a bright smile on her face, but her eyes were sharp, taking in all the young man's reactions.
Tracy didn't avoid Lily's gaze. After meeting her gaze, he turned his gaze to the "acquaintance" standing nearby. He said frankly, "I've seen Miss Wanwan's live broadcast and I like it too."
This sentence did not answer the question, but everyone present understood it in an instant.
Lily and Davina exchanged glances, surprise flickering in their eyes. It turns out... someone like Mr. Tracy could also be involved in the Star Network.
Tong Wanwan herself couldn't see it, but they did smell something - the young man was treating them to a meal and chatting with them. It was very likely that he wanted to take this opportunity to meet Wanwan, and the two of them were probably just there to meet him.
only……
The gleam in Davina's eyes remained undimmed. She did harbor a vague fondness for Tracy, but most of all, she admired him. Just like just now, when they could actually speak face to face, she'd only stood aside, secretly thrilled. If Wanwan hadn't intervened, she might not have had the courage to speak the first word.
Tong Wanwan was stunned when she heard Tracy's explanation.
The 1551 system promptly reminded her: "Wanwan, I remember this person called 'Tracy.' After Cathy was exposed for bribing job trolls, Eli and Tracy spoke out on Starnet to clear the air for you. Remember?"
After hearing this, Tong Wanwan remembered.
Indeed, the incident had caused quite a stir on the Star Network live streaming platform. Thanks to the help and support of Major General Eli and Mr. Tracy, she had gained a significant number of followers. The situation had also completely turned around due to the exposure of evidence and the attitudes of the two bosses.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Tracy would recognize her in real life.
"Thank you, Mr. Tracy." Tong Wanwan expressed her gratitude again.
Watching the black-haired girl's eyes change from distant, to confused, and finally as if she remembered something, with warmth in her eyes, Tracy smiled.
Although Tracy came from a distinguished family, he was a humble and refined person, adept at giving appropriate compliments, observing details, and engaging in conversation and listening. Furthermore, his conversations with women were unique: every topic he approached was based on a concern for the other person's feelings. This approach made others feel relaxed and at ease, without any hint of edge.
Even Lily, who was wary of him at first, quietly changed her attitude during the conversation.
After chatting for a while, Tracy casually mentioned the holographic games that many Federation teenagers were exposed to. "Are you playing New Century?"
"Yes! Lily and I are both playing!" Davina's eyes lit up when she talked about the game, and she was so excited that she could hardly contain herself. "Mr. Tracy is also...?"
A flash of understanding flashed across Tracy's brown eyes. Davina had mentioned herself and Lily, but not Tong Wanwan. This meant...they weren't playing New Century together.
"In my free time, I play online." Tracy smiled softly and asked naturally, "Wanwan, what about you? What games do you usually play?"
Tong Wanwan blinked and said, "I've been playing 'Town' with them lately."
Speaking of this, Davina couldn't help but show off again: "Wan... Wanwan is super good! We've only been playing for less than two weeks, and she's already touched us more thoroughly than Lily and I."
When girls talk about their favorite games, they can chat happily for a long time just like boys.
After listening for a while with a smile, Tracy quietly joined the conversation again. "That sounds interesting. Would you mind having another 'neighbor'?"
The three girls looked at him in surprise.
The long-haired young man didn't think what he said was surprising, and the curve of his lips remained gentle.
"Really?!" "Together." "Of course I don't mind."
The girls' reactions varied, but they all cooperated and exchanged their PC accounts with Tracy. Tracy also wrote down Davina and Lily's New Century game IDs. He had a feeling that Tong Wanwan, who had made female friends, would soon be dragged into a new trap by the other two.
As the night deepened, before sending them to their respective hovercrafts, Tracy took the beautifully packaged dessert box from the waiter and handed it to the three of them. However, Tong Wanwan's portion was obviously much larger.
"It contains milk pudding and low-fat puffs," he explained. "Put them in the refrigerator when you get home and have them as a midnight snack when you're hungry."
Pudding and puffs, low-fat ones?! All three of them accepted them with a touch of surprise. Davina was happy to receive a gift from her idol, Lily was happy because she really needed a midnight snack, and Tong Wanwan was happy because she loves sweets.
When handing it to Tong Wanwan, Tracy said with a smile on her face, "Wanwan, this is for you and your pet."
Davina and Lily suddenly realized: No wonder Wanwan got such a big portion, it turns out there was also some left for the little pet.
"By the way," the brown-haired young man followed the gesture of handing over the gift, moved closer, and whispered, "Leave some for yourself, don't let Yuanyuan eat it all."
"Puchi—" Tong Wanwan laughed. It seemed that Tracy had really been paying attention to her pet shop and even remembered the chinchilla's nickname. "I understand, Mr. Tracy. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye." Tracy waved to the girls and watched them get in the car and leave before slowly looking away.
…
When they got home, the little white lions had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the dessert box in Tong Wanwan's hand, the chinchilla shuddered and suddenly sat up from the soft sofa.
Tong Wanwan: “…”
Seeing the little mouse's tail twitching with greed, Tong Wanwan couldn't help but recall what Mr. Tracy said before he said goodbye -
"Don't let Yuanyuan eat it all."
The little pets gathered around her. In their expectant or calm gazes, she took out portions of milk pudding and small puffs and placed them on the coffee table. Her eyes were soft and gentle. “I’ll ask everyone to help me solve this problem today too~”
Then, Tong Wanwan leisurely took out a portion of pudding and puffs from the desserts on the coffee table and said, "Except for Yuanyuan, you can only have one portion today."
The little mouse seemed confused. It took a look at the portion that was allocated to it, then turned its head to look at the other portions that were almost full on the coffee table. Its dull eyes, filled with disbelief, made Tong Wanwan want to laugh.
"Ahem," she suppressed the upward curve of her lips and said righteously, "This is what the fan who sent desserts to everyone specifically told me to do."
Eli: “…?”
The long-tailed tit flew back from the windowsill and happened to see the indescribable expression on its friend's face.
It fell silently on the girl's shoulders, hiding her merits and fame.
