"..."
Chen Yi remained speechless for a long while. Actually, this was all his fault.
After receiving the signing bonus.
Su Nuan's little face flushed red, and her eyes shone. To her, this was already an astronomical sum. She had even started considering what to buy, such as...
A house!
No matter what, she needed a place to call home.
There was nothing wrong with that idea!
And so... Chen Yi gave a dry cough and said, "Why don't you check how much the place we're living in now costs? Then think about it!"
"Okay!"
It would have been fine if she hadn't searched. But once she did...
She nearly became depressed.
She had thought that having money would make her a little rich woman, but after seeing the harsh reality, she discovered that her money could only afford her a toilet.
At that moment, she made up her mind to save money.
Definitely!
They had originally planned to eat a good meal to celebrate, but things had turned out like this. Still, to Chen Yi, being able to eat together was enough.
After eating their fill!
They went home to get some things. At least, that was what they said they were doing.
But they could only take a few things.
For example, towels and a change of clothes.
But what about the rest?
For example, the half-used bottle of shampoo. They couldn't exactly take that along, could they?
If they needed it, they could just buy a new one.
That meant a lot of things would have to be left behind. Su Nuan immediately found herself in a difficult position and said, "Um... I..."
Seeing Su Nuan stammering, Chen Yi knew what she was thinking without needing to ask. He immediately said, "Then leave them here. No one uses my spare bedroom anyway. It'll make a decent storage room."
"Um... I'll pay rent!"
"Okay!"
Chen Yi nodded and said nothing more.
Watching Su Nuan busy herself, a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. Did she really think that moving into the dormitory meant she could move out of here? What was she thinking?
A dormitory was still a dormitory. It was convenient as a place to sleep.
But that was all.
How could it compare to the freedom of this place?
Besides, even if she moved into the dormitory and took all her belongings with her, what would she do during holidays? Wouldn't she still have to come back and stay for a few days?
Thinking of this, Chen Yi nodded. Perhaps he had planned this from the very beginning. From the moment he moved into this place, he had never intended to let Su Nuan leave.
And now, the plan had basically succeeded!
After packing a small suitcase!
Su Nuan nodded in satisfaction as well. She was looking forward to her future career. After finishing, they went to binge-watch some of the latest TV dramas together.
Whenever the plot became boring, Su Nuan would scroll through her phone.
However...
When she came across comments about herself.
Her eyebrows shot up.
"How can they say that about me? I'm angry!"
"????"
At first, Chen Yi didn't understand, but once he learned the reason, he understood. He knew exactly how strong Su Nuan was.
But the people online didn't.
Adding the words "female player" to the mix was enough to stimulate people's nerves. And as the LPL's first female player, she was naturally bound to become a hot topic.
The more people there were!
The more comments there would be.
And the more comments there were, the more unpleasant voices would appear among them.
So it was perfectly normal for Su Nuan to be angry.
Regarding this issue, Chen Yi chuckled and said, "Don't be angry! Ma Huateng gets cursed at every day too. Has that stopped him from succeeding?"
"But..."
"Don't keep looking at the bad comments. Look... aren't there people supporting you? Cheering you on and applauding you... See?"
There were bad comments, naturally, but there were good ones too.
After seeing them.
Su Nuan's mood improved somewhat, but only somewhat.
"I still feel a little upset!"
"Well... let me ask you one question. Who are you playing these matches for?"
"For myself, of course!"
"Then what is there to agonize over? Since you're doing it for yourself, what does it have to do with anyone else? You're going to become the LPL's first female champion. Why care about this?"
"!!!"
Su Nuan had been feeling rather gloomy, but after hearing those words.
Her mood completely improved.
She even began looking at Chen Yi more gently and... watched him for several seconds longer. It wasn't until Chen Yi gave a dry cough that she looked away.
"What? Is there something on my face?"
"Ah!"
Only then did Su Nuan come back to her senses.
If this had happened before, she wouldn't have felt anything. The two of them had always treated each other like brothers. What did this amount to? But... Su Nuan was somewhat flustered now.
Her mind was in a mess!
How should she answer?
Finally, Su Nuan remembered what Chen Yi had said before and replied, "Nothing! I just feel like you're better-looking than before. I'm going to take a shower. Bye-bye..."
"(⊙o⊙)..."
Before Chen Yi could say anything.
Su Nuan ran off!
She really ran. Looking at her back as she fled like a startled rabbit, Chen Yi couldn't help laughing. Why had she suddenly become so shy?
But soon...
He seemed to understand why.
[Ding!]
[Strategy Progress increased...]
[33%→34%!]
Woohoo!
Not bad!
There was progress!
As for Su Nuan, after arriving at the bathroom, she was also somewhat flustered.
She didn't understand what was wrong with her!
When she looked up and saw herself in the mirror, she discovered that her little face had turned completely red. But why was this happening? Could it be because of Chen Yi outside?
No!
No!
Su Nuan repeatedly rejected the idea. He was her ADC son.
How could she have thoughts like that?
Wouldn't that be incest?
While she was letting her imagination run wild, Su Nuan noticed something strange.
Wait!
The person in the mirror seemed different.
She had indeed been pretty before, but now she looked even more delicate, as though she had turned on a beauty filter. All the little blemishes on her face had vanished.
And her skin, her dark circles...
And everything else!
It was as though she had been completely refreshed. She had no idea why this was happening to her.
What was going on?
And so...
Su Nuan decided to seek help from Baidu.
[Question! Why would a girl suddenly become prettier?]
[Answer: She's in love!]
Smack!
She immediately slapped her phone down on the washing machine. Su Nuan insisted that this was impossible, but the more she tried to deny it, the wilder her thoughts became. In the end, she chose to take a shower and numb herself.
Under the effect of the cold water, her mood gradually settled down.
What love?
It had absolutely nothing to do with that.
Chen Yi was just her brother. There was no other relationship between them.
Right!
That was it.
Soon!
Su Nuan finished washing up. She felt incredibly comfortable, especially when she looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't help becoming intoxicated by her own reflection for a moment.
Her front view might not be great, but her profile was still pretty good.
But just as she was admiring the beautiful sight.
A voice startled Su Nuan badly. Other than Chen Yi, who else could the voice belong to? Yet a frightening thought appeared in her heart.
Could he be planning to attack her?
Unfortunately...
She had guessed wrong.
"I left a new towel and bath towel outside the door. I'm going back to my room. Once you're done... contact me on your phone!"
"Ah!"
Only then did Su Nuan remember. She had packed those things away earlier, so... what was she supposed to use to dry herself?
Earlier, that had been something she needed to worry about. Now, it wasn't anymore.
About half a minute later!
Su Nuan clearly heard the sound of the door closing. She knew Chen Yi had done it deliberately, making sure to close it a little louder so she would hear.
And so...
She opened the door.
The towels were brand-new, with their tags still attached.
They were very soft!
Especially when they touched her skin, a smile spread across Su Nuan's face. She had always felt that Chen Yi was her brother and that she shouldn't think that way.
But now that she thought about it, Chen Yi really was... a pretty good man.
