118. Taking It Easy / 119. The Influence of Magic

Although there were some twists and turns, it ended perfectly and I have no regrets.

There is a kind of glory that comes from standing on the champion's podium, winning the game, and holding the trophy in your hands. At that moment, you may feel a joy that you will never experience again in your life.

That kind of joy comes from cooperation, from sweat, and from never giving up until the very last moment!

Seeing the smiles on Su Xiaoxiao's and the others' faces, Ling Feng actually felt a sense of relief.

That's strange~

However, when the group lifted the trophy together, Ling Feng seemed to lose himself in the moment as well.

It felt like the whole world was applauding them. Confetti floated in the air, and everything seemed to drift with the wind. They had won; they were the champions.

Today, with the rise and fall of new and old esports, esports is no longer the "poison" that parents and teachers used to say it is. Thanks to rapid technological advancements, it has gradually risen in popularity, and this "sport" has a wide-ranging impact and strong development potential...

At that moment, the theme song of the game "Chronicles of Time and Space" suddenly started playing on set, and the rhythmic music made the scene even more exciting!

Countless topics related to Ling Feng and his team spread like wildfire.

After that, there were countless requests for photos, autographs, and pictures. Zhao Ping, with his social butterfly syndrome, accepted them all without hesitation, which actually helped Ling Feng and his group a lot.

The two girls, Su Xiaoxiao and Su Yun, also had joy written all over their faces, like blooming magnolias. The smiles on their faces were still that of young girls overflowing with satisfied happiness.

Little girls are easily satisfied, aren't they?

After letting out a helpless sigh, Ling Feng's gaze swept through the crowd and immediately fell upon the girl standing there.

A fleeting glance is enough to startle you; youthful beauty disrupts the fleeting nature of life.

Suddenly, two people jumped out from behind the girl; they were Luo Xiyan and Ling Wanqing.

When Ling Wanqing saw Ling Feng, she happily ran over and threw herself into his arms, rubbing her face against him repeatedly, attracting a crowd of onlookers.

Ling Feng felt a little helpless. After all, she was his younger sister; he couldn't just push her away, he couldn't bear to do that.

"Congratulations," Luo Xiyan said to Ling Feng.

"Did you guys have fun?"

Ling Feng suddenly realized that the two of them had disappeared before the competition even started.

Well, anyway, it ended perfectly, didn't it?

Chapter 118 Strolling Leisurely

Time flies, and looking back on the short half-day competition, the tense, fierce, exciting, and thrilling scenes are deeply etched in my mind.

Each smiling face, defiant and determined, embodies success and brilliance; here, countless shining stars converge to create a magnificent spectacle.

Ling Feng doesn't like taking pictures, but he didn't expect that when the last few people hugged each other in tears of joy, someone would take a picture of them.

Ling Wanqing smiled broadly and waved the photos on her phone.

However, Ling Wanqing felt a little unhappy because she wasn't in the photo, and she was only satisfied after having her fans take a group photo together.

As for the prize money, that will probably be some time from now, but Su Xiaoxiao and Su Yun directly declined it, giving a simple and clear reason.

Unnecessary.

Just give it to Ling Feng and the other two.

As for the trophy, Su Xiaoxiao had already taken it, saying she wanted to take it home as a keepsake.

Ling Feng and his two friends definitely won't say anything. They didn't even share the money with you guys, how dare you ask for the trophy? Of course not, right??? (ˊωˋ*)??

Su Yun's initial motivation was simply out of interest, and then he joined because he met a few people who were going to participate in the Winter Tournament. When all these coincidences came together, did it become destiny?

Because the fans were so enthusiastic, Ling Feng and his team couldn't leave. They finally managed to sneak out when they found an opportunity.

"See that? That's how charming your brother Ping is!"

Zhao Ping slapped his thigh, his face radiating an arrogant and domineering aura.

"Come on, but this time it was really close, you almost died, right, Xiaofeng?" Yuwen breathed a sigh of relief after they came out.

"Hmm, but it feels a bit fake. The players from the first few teams were like bots. Aren't they all streamers? They don't seem very good. They won in no time."

Yuwen:

Zhao Ping:

"The pros are different from us. We're lucky if we can barely take on one of them. They're all professional players. Even though we've trained for a while, we still can't beat them who have gone through long-term professional training!" Su Xiaoxiao said happily.

"We still have time this afternoon, how about we go have some fun and relax?" Su Yun suggested.

"But speaking of which, today seems to be New Year's Eve. Don't you need to go back?"

Ling Feng suddenly thought of this problem. In previous years, he usually stayed at home during the Spring Festival holiday and didn't pay attention to what was happening outside. Apart from the deafening firecrackers at night that kept him awake, nothing good seemed to happen.

In short, it's like being completely isolated from the world. After all, isn't a holiday meant to be relaxing?

After studying for over ten years, I realize that kindergarten was the easiest time!

"I'll pass on my part. My parents are also very busy Spring Festival, just like any other time. In the past, we would just have a casual visit during the holidays, so it didn't really matter whether we went back or not. But we have our own things to do, don't we?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled helplessly, but when she thought about the journey ahead, she became very excited.

According to Zhao Ping, his father wouldn't let him go home until he found his fiancée, which was quite a sad situation.

As the group talked, Ling Feng's WeChat kept ringing.

Ling Feng opened his phone and glanced at it casually. He immediately saw a long list of red envelopes, all sent by the class monitor and other class officers.

[Thank you so much for the red envelope, class monitor! ^ω^!!]

[Liu Yinxuan: Happy Chinese New Year to you all!]

[Wow, is the class monitor that rich? Does the class monitor need a son?]

[Go away, even if there's a shortage, it wouldn't be your turn. Don't you even know what you look like?]

[Hehe, I snagged another one! This time it's a 200 yuan red envelope?! Does the class monitor have a gold mine at home?!]

[Can you guys please stop fighting? There are still many people who haven't seen this!]

[Oh well, who cares? Our class monitor is beautiful and kind-hearted, don't you guys think?]

[Absolutely! (≧?≦*) You should check out the other classes' group chats, they're so quiet, not a single red envelope! I'm dying of laughter!]

There's a whole lot more information like this, and Ling Feng couldn't possibly review it all in a short time.

It appeared that only about ten people were chatting, but once the red envelopes were sent out, the twenty-odd red envelopes inside were immediately divided up.

Damn it.

Are you all such sore losers?

Ling Feng felt a bit frustrated because he hadn't managed to grab any. When he finally did manage to get one, wow, it cost three cents!

Scroll up and see what others got. For the same red envelope, I only got three cents, while someone else got more than 100 yuan. What luck! It's infuriating to compare yourself to others!

That's outrageous...

Oh well, let's calm down. It's free money anyway.

[Lan Yuxin: Xiaofeng, if you want a red envelope, just DM me, I'll send you a big one!]

[Holy crap, is Miss Lan really that biased? And Ling Feng, you're lurking too?! How come you're so popular with girls everywhere you go? And all those girls like you, just because you're handsome? Does being handsome really put food on the table?]

[That person has a great personality; they usually sit quietly in their seat doing their own thing, unlike you guys who run around to other classes as soon as get out of class is over and are incredibly noisy during class.]

At this moment, a girl in the class who liked Ling Feng up and spoke up for him.

"Wait a minute, doesn't this seem like it's attracting hatred?"

Ling Feng was speechless. He wanted to turn around gracefully, but instead, he crashed into the wall in a spectacular fashion.

Although Ling Feng didn't know more than half of his classmates, he knew there were a lot of talented people among them! There were just too many oddballs; it was hard not to know them!

"Bite!"

A bell rang, signaling another message.

This time it was sent by a friend; looking at the name, it was Luo Xiyan's.

But isn't the person right there? Why are you still not in touch?

With a touch of curiosity, Ling Feng clicked on her profile picture.

[You have a new WeChat red envelope, please accept it~]

Seeing the unexpected red envelope in the chat interface, Ling Feng suddenly froze. This was...

Happy New Year!

Luo Xiyan spoke gently to Ling Feng, the refreshing pink hue permeating the air unmistakable.

Even Su Xiaoxiao never expected that this aloof and reserved person would take the initiative to offer their blessings; it felt like the sky had fallen.

"Hey, you guys are so close now?"

"This..."

Ling Feng didn't reply, but since she had given him a red envelope for Spring Festival, he felt a little embarrassed not to give her something in return, especially since it was from such a beautiful woman. How could he not reciprocate? So he casually transferred 200 yuan over.

Happy Spring Festival!

The New Year's wind blows away your worries and washes away your troubles; the sunshine gives you boundless warmth and endless joy; and blessings bring you endless good fortune.

"Please stop showing off! We've had enough of this PDA, weren't we supposed to go out and have some fun together?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Xiaofeng, let's quickly plan where we should go to have fun!"

Ling Wanqing pouted and started to act coquettishly.

Xiaofeng Feng is the real me, we are Astral Mark Girl, the world has not yet returned to peace, we absolutely cannot let our guard down!!

Chapter 119 The Influence of Magic

Maybe girls are just born to love shopping. Is it that last year's clothes don't suit their style this year, or what?

Because they hadn't walked more than a few steps, Ling Feng and the other boys were led astray by Su Xiaoxiao and ended up at a nearby department store. Su Xiaoxiao, Ling Wanqing, and Su Yun were all in high spirits, enjoying shopping with their good friends and experiencing a long-lost sense of happiness.

The three happiest things are shopping.

The three boys were responsible for carrying the things behind. Apart from Zhao Ping occasionally complaining, Ling Feng and Yuwen were relatively quiet.

These girls rarely get a chance to relax, so let them do as they please~

As a result, Zhao Ping later joined Su Xiaoxiao's group. Ling Feng gave him a disdainful look and continued looking at his phone.

He's currently pondering a problem: he can't seem to claim the red envelope Luo Xiyan just sent him. What's going on? Isn't the maximum amount for a red envelope 200 yuan? How can he not claim it?

However, Ling Feng didn't know was that because Luo Xiyan had applied to the official authorities for an exemption from the limit, the amount was too large for him to receive.

"Never mind, I won't take it."

Ling Feng didn't bother thinking about it anymore; it was only 200 yuan.

"Waaah, 200 yuan! That's my monthly living expenses!"

After exiting WeChat, Ling Feng logged onto Daily News and found a whole bunch of new information. Anyway, the news every day was all-encompassing, and Ling Feng only browsed it occasionally, without paying any special attention to any major events.

At that moment, a news item on the homepage caught his eye, and it seemed to have even become a trending topic.

[Shocking! At a comic convention in Linzhou City, two stunningly beautiful girls... From the caption, we can clearly understand that the two girls, having experienced untold separations and near-death experiences, reunited with a heart-wrenching embrace that moved heaven and earth, causing the world to pale in comparison!]

Upon seeing some familiar faces in the picture, Ling Feng immediately recognized them as him and Luo Xiyan!

But people these days can spread any rumor imaginable; your imaginations have crossed into the realm of the superhuman!

[They appeared like orchids in a secluded valley, their light, graceful, and ethereal dance captivating us, almost making us forget to breathe. The young girls' beautiful eyes sparkled, their beauty ethereal and otherworldly, indescribably Qingya, noble, and otherworldly.]
