Chapter 115 The Golden Hook Fishing - The Twenty-Nine Finale - Part 2...
At 11 p.m., the crowd in the KTV automatically split into three groups.
Some love to sing, some love to play dice and drink, and some love to play video games.
Shang Qi insisted on dragging Xu Zhiyu along to play King of Glory together. The room's light flickered between red and yellow, and the dimly lit areas were filled with the aroma of alcohol and noise, creating a warm and ambiguous atmosphere.
The weather in October was pleasant. Today, Ah Yu wore a loose-fitting, off-the-shoulder dark apricot sweater and a short, dark brown tiered skirt. Her curly hair was tied to the side with a brown butterfly headband. With her delicate eyebrows, bright eyes, rosy cheeks, and pink lips, her smile was delightful and soothing to behold.
"Do you all play on the QQ server? I'm the only one on the WeChat server. Can we still play together?" She hadn't opened the game in a long time since breaking up with Shen Siqing.
Lin Xingmian moved from sitting to Xu Zhiyu's left to her right, positioning himself between her and Shang Qi, separating them. He also opened the game and said, "Now you can play across servers. Usually, veteran players play on the QQ server more often, while new players play on the WeChat server more often."
Shang Qi said, "That's not necessarily true. Why don't you say that older people prefer playing on the WeChat server, while younger people prefer playing on the QQ server?"
Xu Zhiyu: "..."
Lin Xingmian: "It's okay, I'm also in the WeChat zone."
"Hey, wait, buddy, don't pull out your WeChat account to play. I specifically wanted your girlfriend to check your main account tonight." Shang Qi had a "I've got this covered" look on his face. "Girlfriend, let me tell you, you have to keep a close eye on guys when it comes to games. King of Glory isn't just a game anymore; it's practically a social platform. You haven't seen Lin Xingmian's main account yet, have you? You'd better check his match history carefully..."
Shang Qi's words struck a chord with her, because her ex-boyfriend had left her with a psychological trauma related to this game. A Yu remained silent, looking at Xing Mian in quiet contemplation.
"?" Lin Xingmian immediately switched to her other account and said, "Check whatever you want."
He handed her the phone directly. Xu Zhiyu and Shang Qi huddled together. She first looked at his profile picture, then scrolled through his match history, finding that it was all from a long time ago in high-level ranked matches, with a few solo queue games interspersed among them. Furthermore, she expertly checked his social media profile and discovered he had absolutely no friends or acquaintances!
She was a little confused when, just then, a hand that didn't belong to her poked open the hero column next to the battle record. A row of eye-catching national champions of various sizes were neatly displayed in front of them. Xu Zhiyu and Shang Qi exclaimed in unison, "Wow—"
Shang Qi jumped up in a panic: "So this really is your account! I've scrolled through your profile in my friends list so many times, and damn it, you never play with me no matter how many times I invite you!"
Hearing the commotion, others also came over to see what was going on. When they saw the impressive logos on the game interface, they couldn't help but look on with envy. Several male students immediately opened their King of Glory accounts and busied themselves adding friends, saying things like, "Pro, please carry me!"
Lin Xingmian smiled and replied to Shang Qi: "I haven't played this account for a long time. What you're talking about is from a long time ago, when I wasn't familiar with you yet."
Shang Qi yelled, "Damn it, I don't understand why you should have used your main account to play five-man ranked with that guy surnamed Chen back then, to intimidate him and stop him from thinking he's so great!" He moved next to Xu Zhiyu. The KTV was a bit noisy, so he whispered in her ear, "Sister-in-law, you have no idea. Lin Xingmian created a new account specifically to play with you and played all night until she reached a rank where she could play ranked with you."
He was drunk and spoke without thinking, saying whatever came to mind. Shang Qi had gotten these things out of Lin Xingmian when they were drinking together earlier.
"Wait..." Ayu suddenly raised her hand, her dizzy head seemingly clearing up a lot after hearing Shang Qi's words, "What do you mean?"
What new account? How did you manage to reach a rank where you can queue with her overnight?
She asked Xingmian blankly, "Have I ever played games with you? I don't remember. What is Shang Qi talking about? I'm understanding less and less..."
"Oh..." Lin Xingmian was actually a little uneasy. He hoped that his sister would find out about this on her own one day, but he couldn't be sure whether she would be happy or angry if she found out.
He had opened a new WeChat account when he talked to her before, and it wasn't the WeChat account he usually used, so she definitely didn't know that he was the man with the ID "Pancake".
His phone was still in Xu Zhiyu's hand. She saw him extend his long, slender fingers and tap the screen to switch login accounts. A magical thing happened—she saw an extremely familiar profile picture and blurted out, "Ah Song? Ah."
She couldn't believe it when she opened the account profile - match history, clicked into the details page, and saw the ranked match times and teammates...
ah?
Isn't this what we did together?
Why does Xingmian have an account with Asong?
Oh my god.
Even the messages in the gift mailbox were written by her!
"You?" Xu Zhiyu pointed at the phone and then at Lin Xingmian.
Lin Xingmian calmly replied, "Me."
"Why didn't you just tell me?" she asked, puzzled.
"Didn't you start dating that guy surnamed Chen and not care about me anymore?" he said sourly. "If I told you, would you still want to hang out with me?"
Xu Zhiyu slapped her forehead: "Oh my god, I'm impressed! I knew that voice sounded familiar, it was you!"
Shang Qi achieved his goal, and as he walked away, he didn't forget to add, "I drank too much today, so I'm not good at playing games. Next time, don't forget to call me next time you play together!"
He called out to the people around him to play dice, clearing out a corner of the sofa for the two of them.
Ayu gripped his phone tightly, scrutinizing his game history one by one. It turned out that all those nights they spent playing games together until late at night were with Xingmian. As she looked, her vision blurred. She recalled the time she spent with Shen Siqing, how she had been severely manipulated and lowered her standards repeatedly, only to find that Xingmian was the one protecting her in the end.
"I received two letters from you at the time. One told me to keep my distance from you in real life, and the other told me to delete me from your game. I was thinking then, why delete me instead of killing me... I—"
His words trailed off as she pressed her finger to his lips, tears welling in her eyes, and said, "Here you go again, saying things like that. Didn't we promise to live happily together for a very long time?"
She said, "I'm sorry, Asong. I'm sorry, Xingmian. They're right, I am indeed very slow-witted, or you could say I'm bad. I always said you didn't understand feelings, but actually I'm the one who truly doesn't understand feelings. I sincerely apologize to you. You've done so much for me and I didn't know anything about it. I will change in the future. Are you willing to give me a chance?"
"What are you saying, silly sister?" He took her hand, his gaze lingering on her lips.
She knew what he wanted to do. This time, she took the initiative to move closer and gently touched his lips with her breath, which carried the scent of red wine: "I was wrong, will you forgive me?"
Lin Xingmian couldn't stand her like this. The dim light shone on her shoulder. He smoothed her hair, his eyes wandering, his Adam's apple bobbing.
His handsome face drew closer, his eyes possessing a captivating magic.
The boy's lips parted slightly: "I won't forgive."
He suddenly picked her up, and the two of them, ignoring the stares of others, headed straight out of the private room.
They moved from one room to another.
He skillfully placed her on the table, just as he had done when they first kissed, and wrapped her between his arms.
Ah Yu's sweater slipped down quite a bit during the tugging, revealing her fair collarbone and wisps of hair. She was drunk and her expression was dazed.
“Mianmian, has no one ever told you this? Do you know that you're actually like a madman? No, you are a madman. The kind with a mental illness. You're not a normal person. There are many times when I can't understand what's going on in your head. I don't know what you like about me, I don't know why you're not afraid of death. You always talk about death, do you know how much it hurts me to hear that?”
“Sister, I love you,” he said.
Xu Zhiyu: "I know, but that's not the point."
Lin Xingmian: "That's the key point."
He hugged her like a child, saying, "Sister, will you come abroad with me? I don't want to be separated from you, not even for a second."
Ah Yu paused.
He continued, "I can open a supermarket for you right next to my school, just like the old one. You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't leave me, okay? Please, I need you. Don't leave me alone anymore, okay?"
He reverted to his puppy-dog persona, speaking as he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her, repeatedly licking and biting her lips, pleading pitifully, "Please."
She was moved by his words and felt a pang of sympathy, yet she also wanted to laugh. She casually said, "I'm not unwilling, but I need to see how well my father is recovering."
Xingmian's eyes lit up when she agreed so easily: "You're really willing?"
Ah Yu wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. She smiled sweetly and said, "Of course I'd like to. You've done so much for me, I should do something for you too, right?"
Lin Xingmian was thrilled and hugged her tightly, kissing her.
Xingmian had a particular fondness for kissing, and since they confirmed their relationship, he had forcibly kissed her countless times. His desire was burning, and his gaze towards Xu Zhiyu was always somewhat inappropriate.
Their lips met, and he skillfully pried open her pearly teeth, perfectly understanding the rhythm of her kisses. Her loose sweater slipped inside, cool to the touch, and she trembled slightly, softly calling his name.
At first glance, his eyes seemed as cold and deep as a well. She never imagined that the two of them would become entangled and go through so much together. He had been plotting for a long time, planting pink marks in her life. Only when she looked in the mirror would she realize that this little rascal had been scheming against her all along.
The air from the air conditioner rippled and undulated. They held hands tightly, secretly deciding to accompany each other through the long road ahead.
Mr. Xu always asks Lin what she likes about him.
He held her in his arms and whispered his words:
"You are passionate, and my heart is drawn to you."
"Loving you is simply my nature."
