"What do you think?" Gao Meng said with a smile.
Qiao Qiu was stunned by her smile; in that smile, Qiao Qiu saw the shadow of Xuan Lan.
"Alan".
A soft whisper escaped her lips, and Qiao Qiu realized what she was doing and turned her eyes away.
Alan? Gao Meng frowned, repeated the name in her mind, and remained silent.
I will not become your opponent.
Qiao Qiu felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. What could be more miserable than possibly having to compete with a man for a woman in the future?
Gao Meng was taken aback by his words, "With such great talent, wouldn't it be a shame to give it up?"
“My talent wasn’t innate,” Qiao Qiu said.
“If it’s not something you’re born with, then it’s something you learn through hard work. I think your skills are better than many people’s, so you shouldn’t give up.” Gao Meng didn’t understand.
Qiao Qiu laughed and said, "Painting is just one of my hobbies. I'm good at it, and that's enough. There's no need to compete with anyone."
"You have other hobbies and interests, what else can you do?" Gao Meng asked curiously.
Qiao Qiu narrowed her eyes. "It seems there's nothing... particularly outstanding."
There were too many to count.
"I've never noticed you before." Gao Meng spends more time in the art studio than anywhere else, but she doesn't seem to have any impression of Qiao Qiu.
"I used to be timid and cowardly, always wearing my hair down. My art teacher and I had some connection, but because of my paintings, she would ask me a few questions, but never much. Today was purely an accident. If I hadn't been so upset, she probably wouldn't have praised me either, at most she would have taught me how to draw lines or something." Qiao Qiu dug up her past memories and found that the original Qiao Qiu had lived a rather shabby life. As a rich second-generation, she didn't know how to use her advantages, and was either a nobody or an object of ridicule.
"Your paintings are the best I've ever seen among students, including myself," Gao Meng affirmed.
"Thank you," Qiao Qiu said.
"That's true, no need to thank me. Qiao Qiu, can you tell me why you're like this?" Gao Meng was usually uninterested in anything other than paintings, but today, she was unusually interested in Qiao Qiu.
"It involves an old friend, so I can't say anything. I'm sorry." Qiao Qiu didn't intend to tell her about Xuan Lan.
"All right."
Passing by a coffee shop, Qiao Qiu went inside, ordered a coffee, and took out her phone.
"Xiao Jie, teach me how to play games. Also, let me know when school is almost over."
“…Okay,” the ring replied.
Qiao Qiu put on her headphones, opened Honor of Kings, entered the main interface, and then entered ranked matches.
This is the ranking in the Bronze Bureau. After Qiao Qiu entered, she chose Lu Ban.
This is the first hero she has ever played. According to the ring, to master King of Glory, it's best to have a main hero.
Her teammates picked some heroes, but she only recognized one. She went in, ordered a coffee, and took out her phone.

“…Okay,” the ring replied.
Qiao Qiu put on her headphones, opened Honor of Kings, entered the main interface, and then entered ranked matches.

This is the first hero she has ever played. According to the ring, to master King of Glory, it's best to have a main hero.
Her teammates picked some heroes, but she only recognized Hou Yi and Daji; she didn't recognize the others.
Once the loading page appeared, she recognized the heroes based on the words on it.
Our side: Hou Yi, Daji, Zhuang Zhou, Lu Ban No. 7, Arthur.
The opposing team's formation wasn't much different: Angela, Zhong Wuyan, Hou Yi, Luban No. 7, and Arthur.
Upon entering the page, Hou Yi headed to the bottom lane, Daji to the middle lane, and Zhuang Zhou and Arthur to the top lane.
"Master, go and hunt in the jungle."
Qiao Qiu received the hint and guided Little Luban to head towards the wilderness.
Less than thirty seconds later, before the jungle had respawned, the three lanes of players met up.
"Master, when playing this game, you must learn to read the minimap and pay attention to the exact location of your heroes. If they start a battle, move your view to check and then decide whether to go to their aid."
"Okay." Qiao Qiu said while clearing the jungle camps, keeping an eye on her teammates.
"Master, when you're farming jungle camps, be careful with your positioning, otherwise the red buff will take a lot of your health away." The ring's tone was very helpless, and because she wasn't notified in advance, she didn't bring Smite as her summoner spell.
………………
Actually, if you think about it carefully, Qiu Jiang didn't really do anything to her before. At most, she was only slightly punished because Qiu Jiang had gone too far.
Qiu Jiang looked at her face full of annoyance, wanting to look at her but not daring to, and could only glance at her out of the corner of her eye, which made her feel amused.
Qiu Gushuang is still only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl. Although she went astray along the way, fortunately she can still turn back.
It doesn't seem like it's completely beyond saving.
"Qiu Gushuang, do you still remember what I said before?"
"You've said so much, how am I supposed to remember it all..." Qiu Gushuang retorted weakly. Although she was dressed beautifully, she was still quite young and sometimes still had a childish side.
Qiu Jiang smiled and thought that this girl was actually quite cute.
“I once said that I gave you two choices: accept or not accept. Now it’s time for you to choose.”
"this……"
Qiu Gushuang certainly knew what she was referring to, but their grudges ran deep. Could she really let go of everything and pretend that nothing had ever happened?
