Chapter 25 The Scammer Ning Buyi Zhu Yanhe sent Ning Buyi several...
Zhu Yanhe sent Ning Buyi a few messages.
Where are you? You left something in my car, I'll bring it to you.
Actually, he didn't receive any messages for a while. He glanced out the window and saw the bleak autumn wind rustling the leaves that were about to fall. Was he wearing a coat?
After getting home from get off work, Zhu Yanhe sent another message to Ning Buyi.
Why aren't you replying? Did your phone get stolen again? I'll bring you a new one.
Still no message. The autumn night was particularly chilly, and the shadows of the trees swayed as they shone through the thin window. Zhu Yanhe sent him another message.
Didn't you say I was your good brother?
He's a liar; he doesn't really care.
Inside the competition venue, Ning Buyi was also excited: "Amazing! Sun is amazing!"
With OV's victory in another match, Ning Buyi was surrounded by the cheers of his fans. Li Chang patted him on the shoulder and said, "I wasn't wrong, was I? Sun is just so lovable."
Sun's calm figure on stage, and Ning Buyi's game understanding and skills that he couldn't keep up with, made the boy's eyes sparkle and the atmosphere so intense that his heart pounded.
He became a fan; he likes Sun too!
Wow! Go OV! Go Sun!
The two left the venue still thoroughly enjoying themselves, clearly not satisfied with what they had seen.
"That's amazing, bro! I want to do that kind of play too." Ning Buyi's eyes were sparkling; it was clear the kid was mesmerized.
Li Chang gave him a knowing look and chuckled, "It's a package deal, but the operation is still terrible. He used Xiang to reach the fourth rank. He's the only one in the entire profession who did that."
Ning Buyi caught the middle sentence, reached into his pocket and locked his phone. No one could disobey Emperor Ning Buyi.
Li Chang led Ning Buyi toward the most popular night market, then turned and asked, "Jian'er, what do you want to eat?"
The night market was bustling, with mouthwatering snacks all around, their aromas wafting into people's nostrils. The boy looked around, his gaze finally settling on a pickled crab stall. He pointed and said, "Brother, that one."
Li Chang led him inside. Ning Buyi had never eaten pickled crab before, and it looked delicious.
The store manager packed their order and said with a smile, "You two came at the right time. Our pickled crab is second to none, and you just happened to be the last one."
The two smiled, thinking that the shop manager was just bragging about his skills.
A couple walked over, and the slightly taller man asked the shop manager, "Hello, do you still have pickled crab?"
The shop manager smiled again: "Sorry, the last one has already been bought by these two young men."
Li Chang was just thinking, "Hurry up and unlock that damn phone, I haven't paid yet! You bastard, if you don't get to eat, it's your own fault!"
Hearing this, another boy whispered angrily, "It's all your fault. I could have eaten earlier."
"Honey, I'm sorry, okay?" The man said, glancing at the two people opposite him. He stepped forward and said, "Brother, can I have this if I pay five times the price? My wife really wants to eat it."
Ning Buyi and Li Chang, who were opposite them, were petrified when they saw the faces of the two people. They couldn't believe that the dazzling stars in the stadium were standing right in front of them.
"Are you River and Sun?!" Li Chang was the first to thaw, his voice filled with barely concealed excitement. He then reached out and touched Ning Buyi, who was standing there dumbfounded.
Sun, who was on the other side, saw him wearing his support outfit and smiled, saying, "Hello, I'm Sun, and he's River."
It wasn't until the group was discussing splitting it in two that Ning Buyi snapped out of his daze: "Sun, hello! I like you!"
The boy was taken aback by what he heard, but the man next to him pulled him close and asserted his ownership, saying, "This is my wife. Don't think that you can interfere in our relationship just because you shared some food."
Li Chang and Ning Buyi both fell silent. Li Chang was silent because this girl still had the same sensitive skin as always, while Ning Buyi was shocked that his idol actually had a boyfriend! A boyfriend!
"Who is he?" Ning Buyi turned to ask his brother, wondering why he was able to stand next to his idol.
river: ...
Li Chang wanted to cover his mouth, afraid that he would pack up and kick the two of us out: "That's River, Sun's partner."
Ning Buyi then remembered what Li Chang meant when he said a long time ago that he wanted to get rid of River.
Sun reached out and pinched the person next to her, saying politely, "We'll be going now, thank you."
After watching the two leave, Li Chang pinched Ning Buyi. Was he dreaming? Ning Buyi suspected it was revenge, and he winced in pain.
"Why does Sun have a boyfriend?" the boy asked, picking up the pickled crab in his hand and examining it.
Although Li Chang is also a semi-Sun toxic fan, he's a pure toxic fan.
"Why can't Sun have a boyfriend?" Li Chang wanted to punch him.
Ning Buyi then asked, "Then why is your partner a man?"
Why is this guy meddling in everything?
“When people like each other, they don’t care about gender,” Li Chang explained to him again. “Actually, feelings are hard to explain. Just follow your heart. You should like the person, not what type they are, understand?”
Li Chang, the "emotional strategist," is back online, playing the lute to a cow.
Ning Buyi listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion. How could he change his mind every day? He had said before that he didn't want to be with men, but now he was open to both men and women.
Li Chang could tell at a glance that he hadn't understood; Ning Buyi seemed to be completely oblivious when it came to matters of the heart.
"Don't worry about so much. As long as it's someone you like, regardless of gender, that's fine."
He understood that sentence. The person he had been thinking about was the person he liked, and they could be together. He really was a math genius.
Li Chang bought tickets for the semifinals and the finals. Today is the match between the winners' bracket and the losers' bracket to determine the finalists, and the final match to determine the champion will be the day after tomorrow. The two players' return tickets are also for the day after tomorrow.
Nighttime, inside the hotel.
Ning Buyi took a bite of the pickled crab and promptly put it aside. It wasn't tasty; it wasn't even as good as the king crab legs that Zhu Yanhe had brought him.
Without his phone, Ning Buyi had no fun at all and could only stare blankly at the ceiling. He tossed and turned on the bed, but still felt uncomfortable.
Finally, Ning Buyi decided to watch Sun's game video with Li Chang. Looking at the different gameplay on the screen, he asked, "Why is this different from the normal gameplay?"
Li Chang stared at him with his mouth agape. Seriously? This guy dares to say he wants to participate in a game competition? He doesn't even know what the most basic competition is.
"This mode is a free-for-all with 100 players. The last player standing wins, no matter how you survive." Li Chang took on the role of game commentator again, pointing to the fun match on the screen. "This is one of Sun's most classic fun matches. Back then, it was hated by many professional players."
Ning Buyi nodded knowingly. Looking at the particle dynamics on the screen, he thought of something: "Isn't this the one from the PK competition?"
Li Chang grunted in response, finally realizing what was happening. Hearing this, Ning Buyi squeezed closer to him, saying, "Then I'll study hard and try to get first place after I finish learning."
This child is good in every way, except for his confidence. Ning Buyi's confidence comes from the inside out; he doesn't care what others say at all.
During their free day, the two of them lay on the bed watching Sun's games all day. The beautiful scenery outside had nothing to do with them. Ning Buyi had really learned something. When he got home, he would show off his skills to his sugar daddy. He wondered if his sugar daddy would come to see him again.
On the other side of the river, Zhu Yanhe had not received any news from Ning Buyi for three whole days. The only person who knew Ning Buyi's whereabouts was his brother.
However, after work, he stopped by that small internet cafe, only to find it closed. The two of them then slipped away together. Zhu Yanhe thought about it carefully. Could it be because he had blocked Ning Buyi? Thinking of this, the man made a move on his phone and sent a message to Ning Buyi using his sugar daddy's account.
Zhu Yanhe: Where are you?
Zhu Yanhe: [Transfer money].
There was still no response. Zhu Yan and Ning Buyi would never have guessed that the reason this guy didn't reply to the message was simply because he had left his phone behind.
He didn't receive a reply until the transfer was automatically refunded the next day. This was completely unlike Ning Buyi's style. Could it be that he really hurt Ning Buyi's feelings that day?
Zhu Yanhe: I didn't mean to block you.
Zhu Yanhe: Didn't you want to confess your feelings to me?
Zhu Yanhe: [Transfer money].
At this moment, sparks flew in the holographic projection canyon in the center of the venue. Pairs of eyes below the stage were all focused on the match between the professional players on the stage. Ning Buyi was among them. They held their breath and were afraid that their noise would change the game.
The match between the two teams was tied 2-2, reaching match point. This match could determine this year's world champion. Ning Buyi stared intently at Sun's actions, watching his Xiang skillfully leap, wield her blade, and reap the rewards. The special effects around him, projected holographically, grew more and more magnificent, like brilliant fireworks reflected in Ning Buyi's sparkling pupils.
As Sun released his grip on the keyboard, white doves, symbols of peace, finally flew across the canyon, and the commentator's voice rang out, announcing OV's victory and the title of world champion.
Everyone stood up spontaneously, hugged each other, and their eyes glistened with tears.
"Sun is truly a god." Ning Buyi said as he walked off the field. He was thoroughly enjoying the show. Sun must be a genius. Sun plays professionally while he, Ning Buyi, doesn't. It's like two kings not meeting.
Li Chang looked satisfied. His dream had come true. Seeing his idol win the crown would be worth it even if he had to drive a sports car and live in a mansion.
"Absolutely, it was so awesome, I'll definitely come again next year."
The two took a taxi to the airport. They had been traveling for four or five days and were having so much fun that they didn't want to leave.
If Ning doesn't move back, he can still catch up with his game PK competition.
Li Chang pulled his suitcase into the alley, Ning Buyi following closely behind, humming a self-composed tune: "We're back, we're back~"
"Oh dear, there's no place like home, no matter how good it is. Same old lunch?"
Ning Buyi responded. He had a great time on the trip, but he still needed to make money through live streaming!

The author's note: Actually, he doesn't care at all [pity]. Is he blaming Ning Buyi for not caring, or is he saying he doesn't care himself? [pity]
