Chapter 36: Deliberately Staying Away
Next to the game city was a chain of cinemas. Qin Zhouyan and Jin Siyang had just finished watching a special effects blockbuster. Qin Zhouyan was still immersed in the movie: "You know what, the second one is really better than the first one. The special effects really made me feel good."
Teng put it aside and continued: "Of course, where are we going next?"
Jin Siyang didn't say anything. Usually, at this time, these boys would follow the principle of ladies first. Qin Zhouyan stopped and turned around to ask, "Cheng Yiwen, Jiang Xinyi, what do you want to play?"
Cheng Yiwen thought for a few seconds: "I'm fine with either. I said you guys decide today, I'll do whatever you want."
They walked and thought at the same time. Qin Zhouyan knew Jin Siyang's personality. Generally speaking, he would be fine as long as there were no special requirements.
Not to mention Teng Fang and Chu Chen, those two idiots. They were not in the same class at school, and now they finally get together on the weekend, so they can go anywhere.
Qin Zhouyan racked his brains to think, and the sound of music from the game city woke him up. He glanced sideways and saw several familiar figures through the transparent glass window. Qin Zhouyan rubbed his eyes as if uncertain: "Damn, it really is, Si Yang, look and see if that is from our class."
The others looked inside following Qin Zhouyan's voice. Song Ze was trying hard to shoot, Zhu Zhiyao had been shooting for a long time without making a single shot, and Cen Nian was busy picking up the flying ball. In the end, Song Ze was so tired that he was gasping for breath. He was almost pissed off to death by these two people. He leaned on the game console and muttered something in a disappointed tone.
Zhu Zhiyao couldn't help but burst into laughter. Cen Nian held the ball with a smile on her face. It was different from her usual smile. She seemed to be amused and her smile was particularly bright.
"Song Ze is quite good. I've never seen Xiao Nian Nian smile so brightly."
Teng Fang was a little surprised: "Who is Xiao Niannian? It can't be Cen Nian, why are you calling her so intimately?"
"What do you know? This is a nickname among classmates."
Jin Siyang's eyes fell directly on Cen Nian. She held the ball, held back her laughter and shot another one, which didn't even touch the edge of the basket.
He sneered, as if laughing at her clumsiness in playing games.
After a brief sneer, he returned to his indifferent expression, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, but that gaze seemed to have never moved away.
Cheng Yiwen was a little curious and walked up to ask, "Si Yang, what are you looking at?"
"nothing."
Qin Zhouyan was born with a simple mind. He pointed with his finger and said, "Why don't we go play together? We are all classmates."
Teng Fang and Chu Chen said they didn't care. Qin Zhouyan looked at Jin Siyang inquiringly. Cheng Yiwen looked around and said with a smile, "Siyang, if you don't want to play, let's go somewhere else."
Everyone looked at him for his opinion.
"That's it. I'm too lazy to leave."
I thought Jin Siyang would refuse, but he just said that. Qin Zhouyan quickly said, "Okay, I'll go buy some game coins."
They entered the game city in a mighty manner, while here, Zhu Zhiyao and Cen Nian were still conquering the basketball machine. Song Ze was extremely tired, so he said something to them and walked to the front desk to buy some drinks.
After a few visits, we met again.
Song Ze was particularly surprised: "What a coincidence that I'm here, and you guys are here to play too?"
Qin Zhouyan raised his voice: "I just saw you outside."
Song Ze waved his hand: "Then we can play together. Don't buy game coins. I have a game card that you can use at will. It expires next week. You can just use my game card."
"Sure, Song Ze!" Qin Zhouyan put his arm around Song Ze's shoulders. "Are you here to buy drinks? I'll treat you then. It's only right to return the favor."
Song Ze didn't hesitate to refuse: "Okay, I have Zhu Zhiyao and Cen Nian here."
"Okay, I'll order some as well."
Cen Nian and Zhu Zhiyao were playing basketball machines. They had gone from not scoring a single goal to scoring two now, which was a cause for celebration.
Cen Nian picked up the ball that had slipped in front of her and threw it towards the hoop. Perhaps she didn't use the right force or what, the basketball hit the edge of the hoop and bounced back. The ball bounced back in the shape of a parabola and bounced straight out.
The ball hit the visitor's shoulder, and Cen Nian panicked: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Before he could see the person clearly, he apologized first. The basketball bounced on the ground with a thud. Cen Nian looked at the person who was hit and was unable to utter a word for a moment.
Jin Siyang stood there with a somewhat tired expression. He didn't look at Cen Nian or the ball on the ground.
"I'm sorry." Cen Nian apologized again, but this time his voice was softer.
"Classmate, you'd better stop playing. This time you hit a classmate, so we won't make a fuss. But if you hit someone else, you might have to pay compensation." Cheng Yiwen stood next to Jin Siyang, frowning slightly. She turned her head and asked, "Are you okay?"
Cen Nian picked up the ball from the ground and put it back into the basket. Cheng Yiwen was right. She really shouldn't play with it. "I'm really sorry, classmate, you're right. I really shouldn't play with this. Thank you for reminding me."
She put the ball back into the game console and took Zhu Zhiyao's hand: "Yaoyao, let's go play somewhere else."
"Okay, let's go."
Qin Zhouyan and Song Ze were holding several drinks in their hands. When they came back, they saw the two men about to leave: "Hey, where are you going?"
Zhu Zhiyao subconsciously stopped and turned back to say, "Let's go play other games."
"Hey, it would be great if we could all play together." Qin Zhouyanren was still confused.
However, Song Ze's reaction was very smart. He stuffed the other drinks to Teng Fang, took only three cups, and chased after the two of them: "Wait for me!" Before leaving, Song Ze handed the secondary card to Qin Zhouyu: "I said it's my treat, have fun."
Only after leaving Jin Siyang did Cen Nian breathe a sigh of relief. She took a sip of the juice handed to her by Song Ze and began to think about what project to play next.
"It just so happens that there is a haunted house in this game city. It opens at three o'clock and there are still twenty minutes left. Do you want to go?" Song Ze suggested.
Although Zhu Zhiyao and Cen Nian were a bit timid, they both believed that since they were already here, there was no need to be afraid since there were so many people here. After thinking for a few seconds, they nodded in tacit understanding: "Okay!"
The three of them came to the door of the haunted house and waited. Before the time came, they couldn't help but talk about the game they had just played.
"Honestly, I have no problem being the MVP today."
"Bullshit, Nian Nian grabbed several dolls, but you didn't grab any."
"Yeah, Yaoyao's dance machine even broke the record!"
Song Ze gritted his teeth: "What do you know? I'm being humble."
The two of them looked at him with a smile and said in unison: "We don't need it."
A familiar voice came from behind: "What a coincidence, we are quite destined to meet today."
Qin Zhouyan and the others followed behind Song Ze. When they met him, they couldn't help but greet him: "Let's go in together later. Whoever is a coward is a grandson."
"Okay, let's bet or not."
There were suddenly many people at the door of the haunted house. Cen Nian stood silently by the side. Zhu Zhiyao was like a worm in her stomach, and touched Cen Nian's hand soothingly.
Jin Siyang lowered his eyes to look at his phone, as if he was replying to a message, not paying any attention to this side.
Cen Nian looked towards him silently, and felt that he was not in a very good mood, and his whole body exuded a lazy and tired air.
