DSB Team
After dinner, the five of us strolled around Baolong Center. Besides food and drinks, there were plenty of entertainment options on the two underground floors. The prices were clearly geared towards ordinary citizens and working-class people, making it a great place for students to wander around. Moreover, students don't necessarily have to go to department store counters when shopping. They often just browse through the various shops to see if there's anything interesting or interesting, buy some juice and milk tea to drink along the way, eat some snacks, take photos, and chat, which makes them quite happy.
Bai Hui observed An Nuan and Liu Chang'an. She noticed that An Nuan Liu Chang'an were often holding hands when she was in sight. However, when she walked ahead, she noticed that Liu Chang'an often had his arm around Gao Dewei's shoulder. This suggested that An Nuan was holding hands with Bai Hui to show off, and that Liu Chang'an didn't actually like being so clingy with An Nuan.
But why should she care about this? Bai Hui thought about it carefully and realized that it was just because she had never been in a relationship before and didn't quite understand what it was like, so naturally she wanted to observe and see.
"My mom..." An Nuan suddenly seemed surprised, "Oh... I remember now, she said she was going to get her glasses fitted by Aunt Ling today."
Liu Chang'an turned his head and saw Liu Yuewang and another still charming woman walk into an eyeglasses shop called "Puyi" on the floor opposite.
An Nuan reached out and turned Liu Chang'an's face towards her, then said nothing.
"My mistake. There was such a beautiful view right beside me, yet I kept looking around. When there's an eye-tracking accessory in the future, I'll install one with a focus lock that will keep my eyes from wandering off." Liu Chang'an thought for a moment. "Do you think this kind of invention has a market potential?"
"Yes! Every girl will have one!" An Nuan said confidently, then looked to Miao Yingying and Bai Hui for their support, "What do you think?"
"Only a girl like An Nuan could make her boyfriend willingly install something like that!" Miao Yingying said enviously, then asked Gao Dewei beside her, "Fatty, what do you think?"
Is it okay to be blind?
"Okay." Bai Hui agreed with Gao Dewei, "But An Nuan's mother looks so young. I've seen her at parent-teacher meetings before, she's so beautiful."
"Oh right, everyone says it's Sister An Nuan... Oh, Lin Xinhuai called me."
Ten minutes later, the five people met up with Lin Xinhuai.
Lin Xinhuai clearly didn't come from home. He had been at a nearby chain internet cafe for the past two days. His hair was messy and greasy, and he was wearing a black T-shirt, exuding the unique smoky smell of someone who had spent too much time in an internet cafe.
"Long time no see," Lin Xinhuai greeted the others.
Miao Yingying stared at the sky with her head held high.
"I'm planning to take a year off during my freshman year to try my hand at professional gaming," Lin Xinhuai said bluntly. "What do you guys think?"
The three girls were taken aback and looked at Lin Xinhuai with some surprise.
"That's good, doing what you want to do." Gao Dewei patted Lin Xinhuai on the shoulder. "I still remember back in the first year of high school, you helped our class win the challenge against the class next door. I thought you were a gaming genius back then."
"Gao Dewei, what are you saying!" Bai Hui looked at Gao Dewei in disbelief. Even though she hoped Lin Xinhuai and Miao Yingying would break up, she didn't think it was a good thing!
"Are you crazy?" Miao Yingying was even more incredulous, glaring at Lin Xinhuai with resentment.
"Think it over again. Fill out your college application first. Summer vacation is so long. Discuss it with your family. This is not a small matter." An Nuan offered the most rational advice.
"No matter what, it's your own choice. As long as you don't regret it, just do it. You'll bear the consequences yourself anyway. Whether other people's words are reasonable or well-intentioned, it's all just meaningless Chirp." Liu Chang'an cupped his hands in a gesture of respect. "If you want to do it, just do it. You'll be unwilling to give up. Don't leave any regrets when you're young. If you really can't make it in the future, I'll teach you a few dishes."
The three girls stared at Liu Chang'an and Gao Dewei, thinking, "Why are all boys like this?"
Lin Xinhuai showed a relieved expression. He hadn't expected that there would still be people supporting him, especially Gao Dewei and Liu Chang'an, whom he didn't usually hang out with. He had talked to a few of his good friends, and they either teased or mocked him, saying that he was daydreaming and had lost his mind.
"Actually, I passed the DSB Club's trial a while ago. I was streaming from their club's base for a while, and I've been grinding ranks these past few days, reaching number one in the Korean server." Lin Xinhuai said proudly. "I'll practice with their team during the summer break, and if we gel well, we can aim for the LPL in the summer split."
"DSB Club?" Miao Yingying sneered. "That really suits your style."
"It's an abbreviation for DangerousSuperBoy, meaning the Rampage Boys Team," Lin Xinhuai said somewhat awkwardly.
"I think it's an abbreviation for DA, SHA, BI," Miao Yingying said, emphasizing each word clearly and angrily. "This is my last warning. If you do this again, we're breaking up."
Miao Yingying's tone was firm and resolute, the atmosphere cold and extremely stiff.
An Nuan wanted to say something to smooth things over, but Liu Chang'an took her hand and smiled, "It's other people's business, they'll make their own decisions. Whether it's right or wrong, we shouldn't try to influence them from our perspective."
"Miao Yingying, Lin Xinhuai just wants to do his own thing, why are you threatening him like this?" Gao Dewei looked at Miao Yingying in confusion. "Even if you two are boyfriend and girlfriend, why interfere with other people's choices? Look at An Nuan, she would never treat Liu Chang'an like this."
"An Nuan wouldn't treat Liu Chang'an like that? You let Liu Chang'an play games, do you think An Nuan would support that?" Miao Yingying glared at Gao Dewei. For some reason, hearing these words from Gao Dewei made Miao Yingying feel not only angry but also somewhat stifled and sad.
Liu Chang'an looked at An Nuan and smiled.
"If he were to go pro..." An Nuan instinctively replied, but then she couldn't help but think about it carefully. Suddenly, she realized that if Liu Chang'an were to go pro, she probably wouldn't react as strongly as Miao Yingying. So she laughed, "Then I'll just be his fangirl."
"Don't talk about it here. This isn't something that can be decided in a day or two. Let's talk about it privately." Bai Hui pulled Miao Yingying aside and said to Lin Xinhuai, "Lin Xinhuai, Yingying isn't threatening you. Girls have their own considerations and bottom lines. Go back and think about it again."
Lin Xinhuai hesitated for a moment, glanced at the two sides with their distinct stances, nodded, and said to Miao Yingying, "I'll call you."
"I've blocked you!" Miao Yingying left without looking back.
Bai Hui quickly chased after him.
Lin Xinhuai touched his head.
"That's going too far." Gao Dewei glanced at Liu Chang'an and An Nuan. "Then let's call it a day. We should still have the gathering, come back another day."
Liu Chang'an nodded and took An Nuan's hand, leading her to the other side.
I'm typing this now, and there's more to come. Various Requests.
