Before Xu Mingge even logged out of the game, a message came from one of his WeChat friends: "Hey bro, you switched servers? Aren't you training today? And bro, if a pro like you goes to another server, you're just stomping newbies. That's so unfair to the new players."
Xu Mingge pursed his lips, showing no sign of displeasure. Instead, he switched back to the original server, created a room, and invited the person who had said he was going to bully newbies to join for a 1v1 duel.
This person was Shisan, a member of the WN team. When he entered the room, he found that there were only him and Xu Mingge. He immediately laughed and said, "Boss, don't be like that. I'm still a noob here."
Xu Mingge said coldly and ruthlessly, "You need to practice more to be good at cooking. Let me see how bad you are now."
At the start of the game, Xu Mingge didn't immediately chase after the enemy. Instead, he wandered around the jungle or pushed the minion waves.
Shisan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it seemed the captain wasn't going to make him fight head-on right away; he could develop his strength first.
As a result, not long after he had breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Mingge appeared and took him away in a flash.
"No, boss, are you really that ruthless?"
Xu Mingge remained silent and continued wandering around.
Shisan almost cried. The boss was going to use the "appearing and disappearing without a trace" move, and he couldn't defend against it. He couldn't develop his skills, and he could only be suppressed and beaten by the boss.
Shisan had already foreseen his defeat, and now he was a little regretful—who told him to ask the question!
Someone nearby patted him on the shoulder reassuringly and said, "You sacrificed yourself for the happiness of all of us. We will remember you."
Thirteen, died.
The morning light of the next day quietly climbed onto the windowsill, gently waking the sleeping world.
In this tranquility, Xu Mingge turned off his vibrating phone; this was the first time he had gotten up this early in the morning.
Just then, the phone screen lit up again, and a message from Ahri appeared: "Are you up? Time to get ready to go~"
Xu Mingge smiled slightly and replied, "Yes, I'm up. We can leave anytime."
Come out then.
Today, Ali was dressed in very casual clothes: a slightly loose white top, black cropped pants, white sneakers, and a gray sun hat.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but Xu Mingge also wore something almost identical.
Ahri held a shopping list. She wanted to buy vegetables and some meat to put in the refrigerator so her parents wouldn't complain when they came home that she hadn't cooked for herself.
Xu Mingge looked down at the list in Ali's hand. There were quite a few things to buy. "Do you want to go to the farmers' market or the supermarket?"
"It will be all right."
Xu Mingge looked at the white shoes on Ali's feet and said, "Let's go to the supermarket."
"Okay, but I'd like to have breakfast first."
Ali didn't ask Xu Mingge if he had eaten, because it was only 6:30, so he probably hadn't eaten either.
Ali put the order slip into her bag and said, "I want to eat rice noodle rolls, what about you?"
Xu Mingge answered just like Ali had just done: "I'm fine with anything."
Ali looked at Xu Mingge and said, "Looks like you're not a picky eater."
Xu Mingge smiled; he really wasn't a picky eater.
The rice noodle roll shop that Ali wanted to go to was located at an intersection, and the shop also offered free soy milk.
There were quite a lot of people at this time, and some were taking the food to go.
Ali wanted to eat at the shop, so she ordered two servings of rice noodle rolls and two tea eggs.
There were also many people setting up stalls along the roadside, selling vegetables, seafood, pork, and all sorts of other things.
Xu Mingge used to have the habit of eating breakfast in the shop, back when his father was still alive.
He had been to this store before, but he stopped coming back.
Ali didn't notice the change in Xu Mingge's expression. She took out her phone, scanned the QR code to pay, and showed the shopkeeper that the payment was successful.
Xu Mingge said somewhat embarrassedly, "I should pay."
"It's okay, you can pay next time."
Ahri said this casually before lowering her head to eat her rice noodle rolls.
At this moment, Xu Mingge felt that he was really close to Ah Li.
Before, he only dared to look at her from afar, admiring her beauty and gentleness, and sometimes he felt that she was untouchable.
Now, he suddenly wants to tell her how he likes her; he wants to express the feelings he's been hiding in his heart.
"Ah Li, I..."
"Don't you like it?"
No, I like it.
Xu Mingge answered quickly.
Ah Li looked at his uneaten rice noodle rolls with some confusion and said, "But you haven't eaten any." She had finished hers.
There were no spoons to eat this, only chopsticks. Ali also ate all the remaining sauce in the plate.
Xu Mingge looked away blankly. When she said she didn't like it, she thought he didn't like rice noodle rolls.
Xu Mingge picked up her chopsticks and started eating silently.
Ali also asked Xu Mingge to eat the tea eggs, and Xu Mingge agreed.
Ali also went to get two cups of soy milk, one for herself and one for Xu Mingge.
Xu Mingge ate quite quickly this time; he had already finished eating by the time Ali finished her soy milk.
Ali reached out and took the tissue, placing it in front of Xu Mingge.
The moment Ah Li withdrew her hand, Xu Mingge also reached out to grab a tissue, and then, as if by accident, touched the back of Ah Li's hand, the temperature of which felt like the warm sunlight in the morning.
Then, Ali noticed that Xu Mingge had wiped away the white residue from drinking soy milk from the corner of his lips with a tissue.
Ah Li slowly withdrew her gaze; she had just had an urge to help him wipe it.
"let's go."
Xu Mingge stood up first.
"good."
Ah Li glanced at the table, making sure nothing was left behind, and followed Xu Mingge out.
When they arrived at the supermarket, Xu Mingge pushed a shopping cart and headed to the vegetable section. He then began selecting vegetables, bagging them, and weighing them.
Ali followed behind him, holding a list in her hand. Before she could say what she wanted to buy first, Xu Mingge had already put the items Ali wanted into the shopping cart.
"How do you still remember that I wanted to buy these?" She even wanted to look at the list.
Xu Mingge was looking down and picking out clams. He said, "I saw them, so I remembered them."
He has a very good memory.
As Ah Li watched Xu Mingge's skillful movements, a warm feeling welled up in her heart, as if the warm spring sun were piercing through the clouds. This guy's unintentional thoughtfulness was truly captivating.
He seemed to be able to read her mind, and every selection he made was so natural and effortless.
After buying everything that Ali wanted, Xu Mingge wanted to push the shopping cart to the checkout.
Ali, however, pulled the front of the shopping cart, pointed to the snack section not far away, and said to Xu Mingge with a smile, "Xu Mingge, let's go buy some snacks."
Xu Mingge liked it when Ah Li acted like a little girl in front of him. A smile appeared on his lips, full of indulgence and pampering. He said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
