“Just by listening to the sound, you can tell how fierce the battle was.” Zhai Xingchen said.
Yan Zhi’s Adam’s apple moved, and after calming down his excitement of winning the game, he asked: “Want to play games?”
“I’m not good at playing.” Zhai Xingchen said.
“If you want to play, I can teach you.”
“I can’t even play King of Glory.” Zhai Xingchen said, “It seems more difficult than that.”
“The games are basically the same. Once you master one of them, you can master the rest of them easily,” Yan Zhi said.
Zhai Xingchen smiled and said, “How can I compare with you? You are a gaming genius.”
E-sports was an industry that thrived on youth. Professional e-sports players had age restrictions. They must be over 16 years old to debut, but anyone over 24 was considered an old person. But Yan Zhi debuted later. The Yan family had a strict family tradition. Father Yan came from a wealthy family and opened a super famous law firm. His mother was one of the top three ophthalmologists in the country. His family members were either doctors or lawyers, and they did not support him playing e-sports at first. He dropped out of an Ivy League university at the age of 20 before he officially debuted. As soon as he debuted, he became a star from the sky. He won three championships that year. He also became popular in the e-sports circle with his incredible looks.
Someone shouted in the earphone: “Brother Six, who are you chatting with? The little brother has such a nice voice.”
Yan Zhi picked up the headphones and said, “I’m going offline.”
“No, it’s our sixth sister-in-law Zhai…”
Yan Zhi hung up before he could finish. After hanging up, he suddenly remembered what he had brought back for Zhai Xingchen, so he stood up and reached for the box on the window sill. Zhai Xingchen saw that he had touched the keyboard and quickly reached out to help him. However, he accidentally glanced at Yan Zhi’s pants and was stunned for a moment.
Playing a game was so exciting. Haitang attacked and killed the red eye.
Yan Zhi took the thing and sat down, handed it to him and said, “Look what this is.”
Zhai Xingchen took it and took a look and found that it was a box of snow. Most of the snow had melted. There was a cluster of ice-carved flowers inside. The petals had melted much and became blurred into a big ball.
“It’s a bit changed,” Yan Zhi said.
“What’s this?”
“We went to Ice and Snow City today. There was an ice carving shop inside. The program team asked me to go and play in it. They could carve many things out of ice, so I learned to carve this from the master. Can you tell what kind of flower it is?”
Zhai Xingchen said honestly: “I can’t tell. What kind of flower?”
Yan Zhi smiled, his spectacle lenses glowing blue under the lamp, and he said, “Who asked you to come back so late?”
“You should put it outside, it’s too warm in the room.”
“We came back late enough. Who knew you and Brother Huo would come back even later.” Yan Zhi said quietly.
It seemed like he had been holding back his jealousy all night before he took it out at this point.
But his jealousy was not sour, he was very restrained, and his tone was very gentle.
“We wouldn’t have come back so late, but there was something wrong with the car.” Zhai Xingchen said, “Tell me, what kind of flower did you carve?”
“Next time I will carve another one for you to see.” Yan Zhi said, “When we leave here.”
Wow, very creative. Come to Beicheng and get ice sculptures as gifts. It’s so unique to the place.
“Do you want to give it to everyone as a commemorative gift?”
As thoughtful as Pei Xu.
He also needed to think carefully about what kind of gift he wanted to give to everyone. It should be meaningful and have local characteristics.
But how could Yan Zhi be willing to put in the effort to prepare such a complicated thing for others? He just said, “This ice sculpture is very difficult. I may not be able to carve one out in an afternoon, but I can make one.”
“Then are you still carving this flower?”
Yan Zhi nodded: “Let’s see if you can guess it then. My skills are not very good.”
Zhai Xingchen glanced into the box.
So beautiful and so special.
It was a pity that ice flowers didn’t last long unless they stayed in this world of ice and snow.
Zhai Xingchen suddenly remembered something very important and asked, “By the way, did you see Brother Lin when you came back?”
Yan Zhi shook his head and said, “No, he and Pei Xu probably didn’t have a very pleasant time.”
Zhai Xingchen sighed.
Yan Zhi said: “It’s expected. For a person like Pei Xu, he either takes the initiative to like someone, or he has to lean against him without fear of hardship or coldness, in order to be able to defeat him. Qingning is not a person who is willing to lean against him at all.”
Yan Zhi was originally talking about Lin Qingning and Pei Xu, but he found that his thoughts would go astray as soon as he saw Zhai Xingchen’s face.
He felt that Zhai Xingchen’s lips were so moist and his skin was so white.
Why was it so white?
He didn’t think whiteness was an attractive thing before, but now he saw that people who were particularly white could also be particularly pink.
With this association, white became a very tempting color.
Sometimes he was confused, wondering whether he was too depressed and sick, or whether young men were like this. When they were alone with the people they liked, especially at night, their thoughts would always go astray. He actually wanted to control himself. He felt like he liked Zhai Xingchen purely out of desire.
But he also really loved him and wanted to keep him in his heart. When he was walking around the ice and snow city, every scene he saw, he thought, it would be great if Zhai Xingchen could see it too. He would fantasize about sending Zhai Xingchen home and taking him to have dinner with his friends and family, or simply, just him playing games next to him and Zhai Xingchen doing his own thing in the same room, those innocent daily life, he also thought that he wanted to love him tenderly, give him all the tenderness and delicacy, and not let him shed a single tear. But sometimes, like when he was playing games just now, he went crazy and wanted to eat him into his stomach. Even if he cried and begged, it wouldn’t work, and he had to make him cry hard.
He thought that maybe not everyone was like this, he was the only one.
But this was him. Others may not be like this, but he was strict and this was what he was like when he fell in love.
He was a man like a tsunami, with overwhelming power.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier outside. Lin Qingning heard the sound of the heavy snow breaking branches, so he turned over and looked out the window.
There was a hazy snowy light outside the window, and he could imagine the ice and snow outside. He shuddered and wrapped the quilt tightly around him.
His mood was very complicated.
In fact, Pei Xu didn’t say anything. He was in a bad mood and felt cold, so he stayed in bed and didn’t go out. Everyone came to see him, but he was a little ashamed. He felt that he was embarrassing Pei Xu.
Pei Xu didn’t tell him clearly what to say. They were all smart people. Smart people didn’t need to talk clearly to each other before he could understand what Pei Xu meant.
Pei Xu was not interested in him, and there was absolutely no way for both of them to be together.
Pei Xu had this kind of temperament. He could easily make his suitors realize that their probability of success was zero. He didn’t know whether it was innate or the experience of rejecting others for more than ten years. But compared to the rejection when he was a child, Pei Xu today was obviously much more restrained and gentle, unlike that time when he had a straight face and said directly: “Don’t waste your time on me.”
Because he understood Pei Xu’s character, Lin Qingning actually knew that the chance of success was low, but in a moment of enthusiasm, he mustered up the courage to go forward. He was already prepared for this result.
Rather than saying that he was sad now, it was better to say that he was embarrassed.
Because everything he did was seen by other guests and captured by the camera. When he thought that thousands of netizens, including their relatives and friends, would see it in the future, Lin Qingning regretted it.
Male lust was harmful, and impulsiveness was the devil!
How could he have forgotten that their two families had always been in contact, and their friends had also crossed paths. Now that he was chasing Pei Xu on the love show, and he was chasing him so obviously, he would definitely be moved past him at future gatherings!
His toes curled up in embarrassment.
But he couldn’t hide like this forever. It would be even more embarrassing if he hid for a long time.
Let’s just pretend that nothing happened tomorrow. He shouldn’t be looking for true love in a romance drama. He would never dare to like anyone in the love drama again.
