What a shame!
Su Nuan had no idea that, over the next few days, the two of them would often play games together and occasionally watch TV. If there was any major change from before,
it was in the cooking!
One person cooked, and the other washed the dishes.
Especially that evening, after they finished eating, Su Nuan spoke cheerfully. "Whoever finishes eating first is exempt. Whoever finishes later has to wash the dishes. I'm going to watch my shows!"
"..."
Chen Yi did not answer. He merely nodded silently.
This feeling was pretty nice.
It had been more or less the same in his previous life. Unfortunately... when he thought of RNG, the force in Chen Yi's hands increased slightly, but he quickly relaxed them again.
This was not his previous life. Everything would be different.
While washing the dishes and tidying the kitchen, Chen Yi suddenly spoke. "Right! The New Year is almost here, isn't it? Are you going home for the New Year?"
"Huh? Going home for what? I just moved out, and you already want me to go back. What are you plotting?"
"Then do you want to go traveling?"
"Hm?"
"Travel somewhere in the south. It's a little cold here, but it's different there. What do you think? Interested?"
"Well..."
Su Nuan thought about it and opened another carton of AD Calcium Milk. After tasting the drink, she immediately shook her head. "Why travel? It costs money. I'm a woman who's saving up to live a good life."
"All right!"
That really did fit Su Nuan's personality!
Rather than travel, she would rather stay home.
True!
How many gamer girls actually disliked staying at home?
Since she was uninterested, he dropped the subject. But less than half a minute after Chen Yi fell silent, his phone rang. It was a WeChat notification.
Beep beep beep!
The sound was not loud, but his phone was on the sofa,
right beside Su Nuan.
Naturally, she noticed it and spoke up. "Your phone's ringing. Do you want to check it?"
"Check it for me."
"Huh? Isn't that bad? How can I just look through your phone?"
"I don't have many friends. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be someone from Snake. Go check it... The password is 0522!"
"Okay!"
0522!
After unlocking the phone, Su Nuan did not think much of it at first.
But soon,
she felt that the number looked strangely familiar.
At last, she remembered and said, "0522? Isn't that my birthday? Why would you use my birthday as your unlock password? Could it be..."
At that moment,
an idea appeared in Su Nuan's mind.
Could the man in front of her have some strange fantasies about her?
Thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible. After all, Su Nuan was fairly confident in her looks. And she had guessed correctly, but Chen Yi had no intention of admitting it.
Instead, he spoke without blushing or missing a beat. "I originally wanted to set it as 0852, but I entered it wrong and ended up with 0522. Later, I was too lazy to change it."
"(ˉ▽￣~) Tsk~~"
Su Nuan clicked her tongue. She had thought it was something else.
But after looking at Chen Yi, then at herself, she somehow felt a little disappointed. Very soon, however... that feeling vanished completely.
It was all because of a message on WeChat.
Manager Wu had replied.
[Manager Wu: Tomorrow is Monday. Come to the club and officially report in. Congratulations on officially becoming real professional players.]
It was a simple sentence, but it was exactly the result Su Nuan had wanted most. As long as she joined a professional team, half her dream would have come true. It would have been a lie to say she was not happy.
"Nice!"
"Good news?"
"Sister Qian said we're to go to the club tomorrow. Our professional careers are officially beginning. How could I not be happy? I feel like the championship throne is waving at me."
As she said this,
Su Nuan grew smug.
The championship?
It sounded easy enough when put that way, but it was incredibly difficult to achieve.
That had been true before, but now things might be different. After all, the two of them had both reached Champion level. What they had been unable to achieve in the past
might not be impossible now.
"Congratulations, then. So... should we celebrate tonight?"
"Sure!"
Celebrate!
How should they celebrate?
Chen Yi had originally planned to go out and have some fun.
Maybe watch a movie or visit an amusement park.
What a shame!
As a homebody, Su Nuan suggested eating hot pot at home. There was nothing he could do about that. He had to respect her wishes, though it was still a little disappointing.
Why did so many couples always follow the same few routines?
There were three main reasons.
First: to delay things until nighttime, when anything could happen.
Second: movie theaters were close by, and amusement parks worked the same way. Especially haunted houses—those who knew, knew.
Third: there were plenty of choices, so things would not get awkward. If we didn't like roller coasters, we could always ride the giant pendulum.
Unfortunately...
None of that had anything to do with Chen Yi.
Still, hot pot was not bad either. Su Nuan liked spicy food, and eating too much made her whole body feel hot. As a result, Su Nuan wore very little on top, just a small T-shirt.
It was yellow, with Pikachu on it!
She was just a little too thin.
But it was not a big problem. Su Nuan had even deliberately bought some beer to thank him for taking care of her over the past few days.
At this...
Chen Yi could only smile helplessly. "There will be plenty of things you need to be taken care of for in the future. You don't have to thank me specifically."
"???"
Su Nuan was puzzled. What did that mean?
"I'm going to the dormitory."
Chen Yi nodded. "I know. It'll be the same after you move into the dormitory. The two of us are gaming partners, after all. Though I guess we can't call ourselves gaming partners anymore. We're professional partners now. Please take care of me, my support partner."
"Don't call me your support partner. That sounds disgusting!"
"Then what should I call you?"
"Call me Support Daddy."
"..."
The corner of Chen Yi's mouth twitched slightly. That was even worse than support partner. Still, he said nothing. Since they were celebrating, they might as well celebrate properly. It was just that Su Nuan had clearly overestimated her alcohol tolerance.
Two bottles?
No.
She was already woozy after two glasses.
She had even fallen asleep on the sofa before they had finished eating.
Su Nuan!
An eighteen-year-old girl.
She might have been ordinary in some ways, but she had plenty going for her elsewhere.
Long legs, a slim waist, and a perky figure.
At that moment, her face was flushed with drunkenness, and she was completely unconscious. Chen Yi could only shake his head helplessly.
Forget it!
He would not let her drink next time.
Perhaps she was dreaming. At that moment, her face held a contented smile.
Watching this, Chen Yi smiled as well. He lightly pinched her flushed cheek and said, "What are you dreaming about? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Of course!
Su Nuan was already drunk and unconscious, so naturally no one answered him.
But for Chen Yi, this was enough. He needed to clean up the living room, and if he left her there, the noise might wake her. So Chen Yi picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.
He had to admit...
Su Nuan was still far too light. He really ought to feed her until she gained a little weight. After placing her on the bed, he pulled up the covers and prepared a glass of water on the bedside table. Once all this was done,
he went to clean up.
Before leaving, however, he still gave Su Nuan's cheek a hard pinch.
That girl had it easy!
She had fallen asleep while leaving the mess in the living room for Chen Yi to clean up. What was wrong with getting a little revenge?
He had to admit!
Su Nuan's cheeks really felt wonderful to pinch.
The texture was excellent!
But one should not be greedy. That had been what Chen Yi thought at first, but after cleaning for an hour or two, he felt a little regretful. If he had known, he should have pinched her a few more times.
Ahem, ahem, ahem!
Soon,
the night passed uneventfully!
The next day!
When Su Nuan woke up, her first reaction was pain.
The headache from her hangover, along with the swelling pain in her face.
She had no idea why!
But soon, she remembered something. Why had she been drinking? She had not been alone, after all. As she opened her eyes and saw everything familiar,
she panicked!
She completely ignored whether her face or head hurt and instead checked what was under the covers.
Thankfully.
Her clothes!
Her pants!
Even her socks were still there.
At that moment, Su Nuan let out a sigh of relief. Especially when she saw the glass of water beside the bed, her heart inexplicably felt warm, as if an emotion she had never experienced before had appeared.
Perhaps she did not know where that feeling came from.
But when she drank the water,
Su Nuan was in an exceptionally good mood. She even felt that the water was a little sweet.
