Pressed the wrong button? Pressed the wrong button!
Ye Xian almost fainted from frustration.
However, the only consolation was that although she hadnât risen from her predicament, Li Bai, who had been supporting her, did rise. He became an economic powerhouse, unstoppable, as if he had been provoked and was channeling his anger. He even went solo on the crystal after a pentakill.
Ye Xian didnât know whether to praise him or to scold him.
Youâd say heâs amazing because heâs unconsciously skilled, but then again heâs not great, since he pentakilled and even attacked someone elseâs base.
When the game ended, Chen Du wanted to start a third round, but Ye Xianâs alarm went off suddenly, âI canât anymore, Iâm not playing today, I need to sleep.â
Zero Degree looked at the time, âAre you kidding me, itâs only ten, and youâre going to sleep now, keeping elderly hours, huh?â
Chen Du: âYeah Ye Xian, weâve only played two rounds, we havenât even warmed up yet.â
âNo way, no way! Iâm only eighteen years old, still a baby, I need to sleep early to stay healthy.â
âBaby?â Zero Degree burst out laughing, âMore like a giant baby!â
âPlease, Iâm a celebrity, I need to take care of my skin. Do you expect me to show up on camera like you guys, with faces full of acne, scaring the audience to death?â
âThatâs too much, who are you calling acne-faced?â
Li Bai: Baby, cover yourself with the blanket when you sleep
Chen Du, Wen Lan, Zero Degree: ââ¦â Damn! So jealous, the CEO has never been so gentle and caring with us, just sleep then, but why mention covering with a blanket? And then calling her baby? Itâs like heâs coddling a child, this Ye Xian, always acting so young!
Ye Xian: âOkay! See you all!â
After that, she exited the team, put down her phone, and went to wash up.
In the spacious main bedroom of the villa, the man set down his phone and quietly stared at the home screen, waiting for the âFriend Skins Giftâ notification to pop up. But after a few minutes, aside from the systemâs background music, there was nothing.
He clicked on âRecent Gamesâ, gently pressed on the avatar for Not Envious of Mandarins and Immortalsârequest to add friend.
But in less than a second, the system automatically sent a notification: The other party has declined.
It felt as if his fingertips were scorched by something, the heat subtly emanating from his blood, spreading to his limbs and bones, and ultimately shooting out through his gaze onto the phone.
Some things, the more you try to ignore, the more unforgettable they become.
Some emotions, the more you suppress and control them, the deeper they penetrate.
Bo Tingshen stared for a long while, then called Pang Kai.
âHello? CEO, what can I do for you?â
âWithdraw funding from Zero Degree.â
âDong dong dong~â
âDong dong dong~dong dongâ¦â
The door was pulled open, Mother Bo complained as she looked at her son, âWhat were you doing in there, taking so long to answer the door?â
âWhat is it?â
Mother Boâs eyes lit up, âSon, is there something going on with you?â
Bo Tingshenâs eyes narrowed slightly, âWhat?â
Mother Bo suddenly pulled out the Little Strawberry handkerchief hidden in her hand, âThe laundry just delivered clothes, and I was going to help you organize them when I saw this thing. Itâs clearly a girlâs handkerchief. How did you get it? Did it belong to some famous lady and ended up here?â
Tingshen has been a germophobe since he was young, not to mention someone elseâs things, he wouldnât even touch other people. Even since he was a child, she barely hugged him, whoever touched his things, that item would most likely get thrown away, not to mention keeping someone elseâs belongings. If it was someone elseâs thing, it definitely must belong to a girl he likes!
His germophobia is inherited from his father. When his father was pursuing her, he couldnât bear to throw away anything she used, saying it was to keep them as memorabilia!
Bo Tingshen looked at the Little Strawberry handkerchief in her hand, his brows slightly furrowed, âGive it here.â
Mother Bo: â??â Such a firm tone, definitely nervous and concerned, somethingâs really going on! Blessed heavens, her emotionally clueless son has finally seen the light!
Bo Tingshen took the handkerchief, closed the door, âDonât touch my things in the future.â
With a bang, Mother Bo was dumbfounded, âSon, you havenât told Mom whose girl it is yet!â
âIt isnât.â
Ah? It isnât a girlâs?
Mother Bo turned to leave disappointedly, then stopped after two steps⦠If itâs not a girlâs, thenâ¦?
âDong dong dong, Tingshen, you come out and explain clearly, if itâs not a girlâs, is it a boyâs? Donât scare me!â
Mother Bo frantically banged on his door, âIâm telling you, youâre the only Bo familyâs scion! Mom wonât allow it! Do you hear me!â
And what on earth is an adult man doing with a tender pink Little Strawberry handkerchief in his bedroom in the middle of the night?
For some reason, Mother Boâs thoughts suddenly began to wander off track.
The next day, Ye Xian woke up and before she had breakfast, she found herself being mentioned hundreds of times in the group.
Chen Du: @Ye Xian, join the team training after breakfast
Wen Lan: @An hour has passed, arenât you awake yet?
Zero Degree: @Come on, didnât you go to sleep at ten yesterday? Are you a pig?
Huh, they think it was just ten oâclock sign-off. These straightforward guys donât understand that a girlâs pre-sleep beauty routine takes two hours.
Scrolling down, there were also messages of sympathy from Jiang Wen, Lin Yan, and Zhou Lu.
