Bai Mengying scoffed, curling her lips nonchalantly.
“I’ve thought about what Mr. Xie said. It makes perfect sense. There’s indeed a gap between us, both in age and in knowledge. As you said, I’m still young and interested in everything. Maybe I’m just intrigued by you…”
“That’s fine. I’ve had enough fun lately anyway. There’s no point in playing anymore.”
“What do you mean?” Xie Xunwen’s face darkened, and he became nervous.
Bai Mengying playfully played with her nails and said casually, “As you wish, I’m going to give up on you.”
…
At the same time, in the e-sports room, Lin Qiao and Ouyang Zhuo stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Lin Qiao had never experienced such a situation before. She felt a sense of moral pressure unlike any other.
“Um… You’re not acting like this because of me, are you?”
“How could that be? I’ve just been too lazy to take care of myself lately!”
Ouyang Zhuo habitually spoke stubbornly, using a loud voice to cover up his guilty conscience.
Lin Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s good. I was a little worried when I heard your uncle say that just now. I was saying, how could you still be obsessed with me when you’ve dated so many beautiful girlfriends before!” She laughed awkwardly.
“Yeah.” Ouyang Zhuo followed suit with a fake smile.
With that, the room fell silent, and the atmosphere fell into awkwardness again.
“So, when you said you had something to say…” Lin Qiao wanted to finish quickly and leave.
Ouyang Zhuo didn’t know how to start. After looking around, he pulled out the chair next to the computer and started babbling, “I, I want to ask if you want to play games with me!”
“Huh?” Lin Qiao was filled with questions.
“Since you’re here, let’s play a round before you leave!”
Ouyang Zhuo hurriedly pulled her to sit on a chair next to him, hiding his nervousness with a smile.
“Look, what do you want to play? You can choose whatever you want, I’m fine with it!”
The plot developed so quickly that Lin Qiao didn’t react for a moment. She blankly pointed at the only chicken-eating game she recognized.
Seeing this, Ouyang Zhuo actively helped her turn on the computer, adjust the headphones, and find an account for her to log in.
“Come on, follow me.”
He took a deep breath and stared at the game screen intently, as if he would be exposed if he looked at Lin Qiao for another second.
At the beginning of the game, Ouyang Zhuo took her skydiving. He did not choose the usual landing spot with fierce fighting, but instead chose a wild spot, fearing that Lin Qiao would be killed as soon as she landed.
At the beginning of the game, Ouyang Zhuo controlled the character to search for equipment on the ground. After finding the gun, he immediately gave it to Lin Qiao.
“I got you a gun.”
“No need, I have one.” Lin Qiao replied.
Before she finished her words, a gunshot rang out, and a system notification popped up.
[‘Open your head’ knock down ‘hhhl’ with S686].
‘Open your head’ was Ouyang Zhuo’s nickname, which was also the one used by Lin Qiao.
Before Ouyang Zhuo could even react with shock, another notification popped up.
[‘Open your head’ defeat ‘hhhl’ with a frying pan].
“Have you played this game before?” Ouyang Zhuo asked.
“Yeah, I practiced for a while to beat my brother.” Lin Qiao answered honestly.
The two of them, one asking dryly, the other answering dryly, felt so awkward, as if they were teammates automatically matched by the game.
But games have a magical power that can quickly bring people closer in a short period of time.
Although both of them were very awkward at the beginning, the atmosphere completely changed after the round. The awkwardness seemed to disappear, and the two people finally regained their ease.
In the end, Lin Qiao was eliminated from the finals with 11 kills, while Ouyang Zhuo fell off his motorcycle and died…
“Awesome!” Ouyang Zhuo exclaimed heartily.
“It’s only 11 kills. My highest record is 17 kills to win the game.” Lin Qiao was a little proud.
