Zhou Nan wanted to call out to her, but Gao Meng left so decisively that he didn't even open his mouth before she walked right past him without any intention of staying.
Gao Meng went to the counter, paid the bill, and then left.
Zhou Nan watched Gao Meng leave the coffee shop, her feelings a complex mix. She had made up her mind, but guilt made her hesitate again when it came time to act.
Gao Meng got home a little late. Qiao Qiu was sitting on the second-floor balcony reading a book. She only came downstairs when she saw Gao Meng's car, returned to the living room, and continued to curl up on the sofa.
Qiao Qiu felt that she was becoming more and more concerned about Gao Meng. Whenever Gao Meng left, she couldn't muster any interest in doing anything, including playing games. She was always thinking about Gao Meng.
Strangely enough, as long as autumn was beginning to arrive, she felt much more at ease and could concentrate on playing games.
Ring: Master, have you forgotten I exist?
Qiao Qiu felt something strange on her finger. She looked down and saw a diamond on it emitting a faint light, but it disappeared the next second.
What's going on?
"Xiao Jie, do you know what happened?"
Ring: Waaah, Master, you haven't forgotten me after all. So touching.
"Master, I understand. It's probably because something has happened to the male lead again."
Qiao Qiu nodded. The only reason for such an anomaly was that something had happened to the male lead; nothing else could possibly cause it.
"Master, something bad has happened! The male lead has started his live stream ahead of schedule." The ring was a little worried; its master was still no match for the male lead.
Qiao Qiu asked, "What level is he at?"
"The strongest player, one star."
Qiao Qiu frowned. The male lead had actually improved so quickly. Could it be that fate was giving him a divine intervention? That wasn't impossible.
"Master, you need to work harder, you're still stuck with diamonds." The ring was quite ashamed of its owner. She was very talented, but she was usually busy dating and didn't spend much time on this.
Qiao Qiu nodded. "I understand."
Qiao Qiu picked up her phone again, opened Honor of Kings, and continued playing ranked matches.
She currently has a limited number of runes, so if all else fails, she'll just buy them with money. Anyway, she has more pocket money than she can spend, and her parents give her a lot of money every month.
She developed a habit from her business days: spending money wisely. Spending money like this now is really not her style, but she can't worry about that now.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qiu gritted her teeth and made a bold decision to spend money, buying not only the runes but also all the skins she had previously liked.
Then she plunged into ranked matches, since no matter the mode, there's no better way to practice a hero than in ranked.
Of course, Qiao Qiu wasn't that ruthless. No matter which hero it was, she would practice until she reached blue rank or higher before using her in ranked matches.
Later that evening, Gao Meng brought over dinner, a very sumptuous meal.
When Qiao Qiu saw that there was soup, she realized why Gao Meng had brought dinner so late.
That night, Gao Meng wanted to take care of Qiao Qiu, so she naturally slept on Qiao Qiu's side. The two of them slept on the sofa, one on each side.
The next day, Qiao Qiu stayed in bed, and Gao Meng stayed with her.
On the third day, Qiao Qiu was finally free from her period and felt completely relieved.
At seven o'clock on the morning of the fourth day, Qiao Qiu was pulled out of bed by Gao Meng.
Qiao Qiu went to bed early. After being dazed for a while after waking up, she became fully awake, washed up, changed into the sportswear that Gao Meng had prepared for her, and the two went for a run together.
They ran around the manor for about half an hour before strolling back.
The fact that Qiao Qiu was only slightly out of breath after running for half an hour completely surprised Gao Meng. Was this really a person who didn't exercise normally?
Qiao Qiu didn't explain, but long-distance running actually requires constantly adjusting your breathing. If you adjust it well, you can naturally run for a long time.
Back home, Gao Meng went to make breakfast.
Qiao Qiu didn't turn on the air conditioner immediately. After sitting for a while, she went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After rinsing, Gao Meng had just finished preparing breakfast.
Qiao Qiu sat on the sofa, propping her chin up and looking at Gao Meng. Although her name contained the character "Meng" (cute), she was definitely more "cool" than anything else. It was a shame that Qiao Qiu had initially thought Gao Meng was the girl-next-door type.
However, Qiao Qiu also noticed that Gao Meng, like her, had been tying her hair up more often lately.
Gao Meng ate something to fill her stomach and then went to take a shower.
Qiao Qiu rarely cleaned up the dishes, but after washing them and putting them in the drain basket, she wandered back into the house and picked up her phone to play games.
She has six hours to play games every day, and she needs to make the most of that time, as her biggest weakness right now is her gaming skills.
After Gao Meng finished washing up, she saw Qiao Qiu playing games. She went to the art studio to get her drawing board and came out, listening to the familiar system announcements without saying a word.
First Blood
anallyhasbeenslain (The enemy kills me)
You have slain an enemy (Our side has killed an enemy)
doublekill
...
As Gao Meng listened to these sounds, she silently kept track of the number of times Qiao Qiu had died. In this round, Qiao Qiu was still playing Lu Ban, with the voice of the "Arcade Kid" character appearing and disappearing intermittently.
Gao Meng's lips curled slightly.
A dozen minutes later, the sound of victory came over the loudspeaker.
After finishing a game, Qiao Qiu looked at Gao Meng and asked, "Mengmeng, did I disturb you?"
Gao Meng shook her head. "No."
Qiao Qiu glanced at Gao Meng with a slightly suspicious look, then turned to check on her progress in drawing.
Gao Meng is drawing a beautiful woman in ancient style. It seems that she is drawing the same one she drew a few days ago. The facial features are Ye Yu's, but the expression is different. The clothes are just an outline. It seems that the progress is just right.
Seeing that he hadn't affected Gao Meng, he continued playing the game.
She's already Diamond 1, just one star away from reaching Star Master. She must keep working hard.
Gao Meng continued drawing. Whenever Qiao Qiu was around, the facial features and clothing would always appear in her mind when she drew the figure, but they were all specific, lacking any overall composition. She had no choice but to draw it stroke by stroke, without thinking, just by looking.
Qiao Qiu selected matchmaking, and soon it was time to ban heroes again.
Both sides skillfully banned the usual heroes, and then began to select heroes.
Qiao Qiu is at the very bottom, so the hero selection is the last one.
She chose Lu Ban and asked for help to steal the enemy's position, but unfortunately no one in front of her helped her, and they even took her marksman position.
Having no other choice, Qiao Qiu selected Li Bai and asked for help in stealing the item, and this time she succeeded.
This is one of only two places Qiao Qiu knows how to play. Having watched many jungler streams, Qiao Qiu has gained some understanding of jungling. Her jungling skills are not bad, but she can't compare to the pros.
"Hmm, this person's ID looks familiar," Qiao Qiu said with some surprise.
