Ji Zhiyao, hugging the tokens, went on to play something that wasn’t as idiotic in his eyes.
Basketball.
He had long arms and legs, and was also good at aiming, so the basketb.a.l.l.s dropped into the net as if magnets had been fixed to them. His posture was natural and smooth.
Both his outerwear and sweater were a little short, so each time he jumped forward to shoot, a small part of his waist would show.
Ji Zhiyao shot seven or eight times, when he grabbed a basketball and was about to jump forward once more, a large force suddenly pulled him back to his original spot.
Ji Zhiyao holding the basketball, turning back with a surprised expression.
Mo Huaifeng pulled back the hand that he used to tug on the corner of his clothes, saying with a nonchalant look, “Jumping to shoot, that’s considered cheating.”
“How am I supposed to shoot if I don’t jump?”
Mo Huaifeng kept silent but took the ball from Ji Zhiyao’s arms, standing exactly where he had been. He took several looks at the position of the net opposite then easily threw the ball into the net.
After that, he looked towards Ji Zhiyao, his gaze peaceful.
In Ji Zhiyao’s eyes, that was slight provocation.
“… d.a.m.n it.”
After a few hours, both of them left the arcade.
Ji Zhiyao glanced longingly at the colorful signboard of the arcade, asking, “Captain, was it fun? Do you feel better now?”
Mo Huaifeng’s look couldn’t be described in a few words. “… Who was the one who kept playing?”
Ji Zhiyao ignored the blame from his Captain, yawning as he looked up to the sky at 45 degrees. “Today really is a wonderful day.”
He was a little tired and didn’t really felt like eating out. Thus after asking Mo Huaifeng, both of them drove back to the base.
The moment he stepped into the house, Ji Zhiyao fed himself two tablets of cold medicine, setting aside another two for Mo Huaifeng while he was at it. It was too cold outside and they had perspired while playing at the arcade. It was really easy to catch a cold in this weather.
The auntie had just delivered fresh groceries to the base yesterday, Ji Zhiyao walked into the dining room and had a look and decided there and then to have hotpot together with Mo Huaifeng.
The hot soup was bubbling, and though there were only two people left at the base, the atmosphere didn’t feel desolate at all.
Ji Zhiyao had just put a plate of mutton into the pot, when he was suddenly hit with an idea. “Captain, do you mind if I make up for my livestream hours?”
Mo Huaifeng understood his question instantly, then nodded his head once.
Hence Ji Zhiyao happily launched the livestream app on his phone and turned on livestream.
He went to his room to get a stand and set his phone at a spot not too far from the pot, at an angle that happened to be able to get both himself and Mo Huaifeng in the frame, then waved to the camera. “h.e.l.lo everyone!”
[Fi-G.o.d! Fi-G.o.d!]
[d.a.m.n, the return of MelonRind’s eating livestream series in my lifetime.]
[What the f*ck, what did I see? ?]
[The base is so big and only two of you are having hotpot? I don’t believe there’s nothing gay going on between you two! !]
[Why why why he even brought “family”!]
Ji Zhiyao had a bite of meat, swallowed then said, “Everyone else at the base has gone home for the new year, stop making wild guesses, both Captain and I are innocent. I’m just making up for my livestream hours, and sending my new year blessings in advance to you guys while I’m at it.”
[LOL I believe you, I believe you.]
[Of course I choose to forgive you.]
[Here for attention again, d.a.m.n I’ve really seen through you, this influencer, you play with whoever is popular, you disgust me thoroughly, heh heh.]
Ji Zhiyao saw the last comment, but he had long gotten used to things and ignored it. He placed his phone there, then returned to his original seat, continuing to dig in.
Instead, it was Mo Huaifeng who ate two mouthfuls and asked in a low voice with a frown, “How long are you going to have it on for?”
Ji Zhiyao had a piece of spinach in his mouth and replied incoherently, “I’m still left with half of the 40 hours for this month, just leave it on, I don’t want to have to make up for livestream hours during new year celebrations.
“What have you been doing usually?”
“d.a.m.n it Captain have some conscience, when do I have time? Am I not the one who’s as tired as a dog from training everyday?”
“It’s me.”
“You can drop it, you start eating the moment you come downstairs in the afternoon, I don’t bother nagging you… fine fine fine, you’re the Captain, whatever you say is right. You put that fish ball down!”
“I was the one who put this into the pot.”
“It was obviously me! The one you threw in just now hasn’t been cooked!”
“Do you have to bounce up and down over a fish ball? Is your zodiac sign the monkey?”
“Have to, absolutely have to, so quickly give it to me.”
While they were engaged in their heated argument over a fish ball, the number of viewers in the livestream room had exceeded thirty thousand people, the comments were also coming in crazily fast.
[That MelonRind was able to stay alive till today… other than love what else could it be? Seeing Fi-G.o.d’s G.o.d, even my heart aches LOL isn’t it just a fish ball!]
[Why do you want fish ball! I’ll give you my life!]
[Fi-G.o.d which flavor do you want to eat I’ll send you more boxes of it to the base, don’t fight with your teammate! So pitiful LOL]
These two people went onto the trending searches once more because of a fish ball, but this time round the t.i.tle of the trending search was very interesting, it was “Fi-G.o.d IndefiniteFuture, want fish ball, don’t want a beauty”.
But neither of them went to take a look.
…
S City suburbs, Lan Yue Building.
Ji Zhiyao walked towards the entrance with his phone in hand, slowly pulling out a crumpled dark blue invitation with gold edges and pa.s.sed it to the security guard at the entrance. Then in the face of the security guard’s slightly odd look, entered the building through the front door.
Perhaps, it was the security guard’s first time seeing a person who treated an invitation like he did.
This was where the “Most Influential Celebrity Gathering” was held, only slightly more than ten minutes journey from Mix base.
A few minutes ago, Mo Huaifeng had driven Ji Zhiyao over.
After walking down a long corridor, Ji Zhiyao continued along the only route to turn in a hall.
Under the glamorous lights, he saw groups of twos and threes raising their gla.s.ses and pooling together to chat. This was the venue that he was looking for. Although it looked more like an end-of-year party for some company.
Ji Zhiyao silently complained in his heart, then walked in. In a split second, almost half of all the eyes in the hall were focused on him as he took a step in.
Ji Zhiyao was originally already delicate and good looking, in addition he wore clothes that would bring out even extreme handsomeness, at this gathering where males were rarely seen, he attracted even more attention.
Yet Ji Zhiyao pretended as if he had noticed all the looks, his gaze swept around and did not find the figure of his idol YiMao. Thus, he went right to the juicer next to the food table, took a gla.s.s of fruit juice and began drinking slowly.
But very quickly there was someone who recognized him and began coming towards him.
“Hi, are you IndefiniteFuture?” A girl in a red dress was the first to walk over, there were two other girls following behind her. Her eye bags that were brushed with gold powder looked very obviously unnatural, her smile was a little stiff. “Hi, I’m your fan, beauty blogger kakajima.”
Ji Zhiyao looked at her calmly, his smile neither intimate nor distancing. “h.e.l.lo.”
kakajima asked, “Um, aren’t you a reserve of an eSports team? Why are you at this gathering?”
