Yu Shuang left!
The situation was different for the two people she left behind.
Chen Yi's expression did not change, but Su Nuan was somewhat shy and nervous. She even seemed a little afraid to raise her head and look at Chen Yi.
In the end...
She still spoke up. "Xiao Yi, don't listen to Sister Shuang's nonsense. Really..."
"I know!"
"????"
What do you know?
Su Nuan was somewhat puzzled, but just as she raised her head, Chen Yi tapped her between the eyebrows and said, "Don't always frown. You'll get wrinkles easily. Besides, what does it matter what other people say? What does it have to do with us? Let's go! Time to eat."
"Okay!"
Su Nuan let out a sigh of relief. She had thought things might get awkward.
But it seemed all right.
Chen Yi was not that kind of person. She felt relieved, but aside from that, she was also a little disappointed. Still, that disappointment only lasted for an instant.
Afterward, they left together.
Su Nuan did not know what Chen Yi was thinking.
But as for what Su Nuan was thinking...
He knew it all too well.
She was, after all, an eighteen-year-old girl who was still somewhat ignorant about romance. But she was ignorant, not completely clueless. That was a good thing.
He would win her over bit by bit. By the time she truly realized everything...
It would already be too late.
Chen Yi nodded, indicating that the plan was working.
Besides... Strategy Progress would not lie.
[Ding!] [Progress increased...] [40%→41%!]
Chen Yi felt that this was genuinely promising.
After returning to the lounge, the others from snake had already been waiting for quite some time. Since they were a team, they naturally had to train together.
Then they would head back together.
It was the same now. When he saw the two of them, Jun let out a sigh of relief and said, "You're finally back. Let's go!"
"Where?"
"To eat!"
Su Nuan's eyes lit up at those words.
Because she was hungry!
This was one of the little rules of competitions.
After eating their fill, people produced a large amount of sugar, which made them feel drowsy. That was also why many schools had a noon nap period.
Drowsiness would affect reaction speed and judgment, so professional players chose to stay on an empty stomach before playing a match.
The few of them were doing exactly that now!
They had been hungry for a long time, since noon.
There was food!
Of course they were happy.
But soon... Su Nuan thought of something and said, "Um... I have a question."
"Ask away!"
"Does this cost money? If it costs money, then forget it. I'll eat at the cafeteria."
As soon as she said this, everyone's expressions became strange.
Manager Wu in particular.
She knew Su Nuan was frugal, but she had not expected her to be frugal to this extent. Chen Yi also coughed dryly and said, "The club is covering the expense. Don't worry."
"That's good!"
Hearing this, Su Nuan let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'm a woman who needs to save money to buy a house as my dowry. Every little bit saved helps."
Dowry!
That was a distant concept.
People nowadays only remembered the bride price. Who still remembered dowries?
Yet Su Nuan had actually said something like that, and the men present could not help feeling a pang of sympathy. After all, among the male staff members present...
Several of them had had their relationships fall apart over bride prices.
But now, this girl was taking the initiative to offer a dowry—and even planned to buy a house for it.
What a wonderful girl.
Unfortunately, such a wonderful girl had ended up with Chen Yi.
So sour!
Far too sour.
Had this guy saved the galaxy in his previous life?
Some people even looked at Chen Yi with murderous glints in their eyes.
[Ding!] [Little Dragon's dog-food points +1!] [Kaka's dog-food points +1!]
These two were Jun's assistant coach and assistant. Hearing the notification, Chen Yi could not help coughing dryly.
How should he put it?
He really had not intended to show off!
Su Nuan had brought it up herself. It had nothing to do with him. Jun also coughed dryly and said, "All right! I've already booked a restaurant. We should get going..."
"Okay!"
They left!
As for Su Nuan, Manager Wu naturally pulled her aside to chat. Chen Yi walked at the back of the group. The atmosphere at snake was excellent, and everyone got along harmoniously.
Most importantly, the person Chen Yi cared about... Su Nuan.
She was smiling very happily.
Chen Yi remembered clearly that in his previous life, they had joined RNG, which could be considered half of their goal accomplished. But after joining, Su Nuan smiled less and less.
He had thought that was the price of growing up. He had never expected that they had simply made the wrong choice.
Now... Su Nuan's attitude was completely different from her previous life.
He had thought about it before, wondering whether choosing snake had been the right decision.
But now Chen Yi was certain.
He had made the right choice.
While he was thinking about these things, someone patted him on the shoulder. Naturally, it was snake's head coach... Jun.
He spoke softly. "Su Nuan is a good girl. You can't have any bad intentions."
"(⊙o⊙)..."
"Romance in the professional scene often doesn't end well. But I don't want you to follow in their footsteps, so you understand what I mean?"
"Understood!"
Chen Yi nodded.
Actually, it was not that professional players' relationships never ended well.
It was just that most of the girls who approached professional players did not have good intentions. Their motives were impure from the beginning, so how could things end well?
If things started well, the outcome was usually good.
Take PDD and his wife, for example.
This was much the same.
Chen Yi immediately said, "Coach, you don't have to be so serious. Don't worry. No one can separate us—not even my mother-in-law."
"..."
Although Jun did not know what this had to do with his mother-in-law, he still nodded and said, "That's all I needed to hear."
"Speaking of which, Coach, when did you become such a gossip?"
"╭(╯^╰)╮"
Jun snorted and did not answer the question.
He had been about to walk a few steps faster.
But he soon thought of something and said, "There's one more thing. Be careful."
"????"
What?
What did he mean by being careful?
They were not going to drive, so naturally they would not get into a car accident.
"At least don't get pregnant while you're under contract!"
"(⊙o⊙)..."
Chen Yi had still been somewhat confused about what the coach was doing.
But when he heard the final remark, even he froze in place.
Pregnant?
Who?
Once he understood, he immediately rolled his eyes at Jun and said, "Coach! Seeing you dressed in a suit, I thought you were a very serious person. I never expected you to be so improper."
"This..."
Jun was also somewhat embarrassed. It was not that he was improper.
It was just necessary.
He immediately said, "I'm doing this for the team. Do you understand?"
"Understood! Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
"Good! That's all I needed to hear."
After saying that!
Jun also let out a sigh of relief. That was all he needed to hear.
Chen Yi was somewhat helpless too. All he could say was... their worries were unnecessary. After all, neither of them was the kind of person who would act without restraint.
Not to mention that they were both only eighteen this year, just look at their relationship.
Hmm!
It seemed a little too early.
Besides, he was not that kind of person. Chen Yi felt that his thoughts were very pure and that he had no bad intentions. He merely wanted to fool Su Nuan into becoming his wife.
As for anything else... that was just incidental.
Ahem, ahem, ahem!
While Chen Yi was thinking about these things, Su Nuan's voice reached his ears. "What are you doing? Why are you walking so slowly? Hurry up and catch up."
"Okay!"
Hearing Su Nuan, Chen Yi smiled.
Why worry about these things? What was meant to come would come.
What?
She was right here. Could she really run away?
Um... yesterday's twenty chapters completely drained the author. There will only be three chapters today. Starting tomorrow, the regular update will be four chapters a day.
If anything special happens, the author will add more chapters—for example, if there are one thousand monthly votes, one hundred yuan in tips, or JDG defeats T1, and so on...
