Those Sweet Times
Chapter 10 Part 2
In order to not give herself away, she had turned her cell phone off
from noon till she was back in her room. The first thing she did after
she turned her phone back on was to send a lie to Chuyan.
It’s Nuannuan: Sorry, I was out whole day today and my phone ran
out of battery.
Chuyan: En.
Xiang Nuan was actually quite nervous but pretended like nothing had
happened. She asked him: Did you take the picture at a cafeteria?
Chuyan: Yes.
It’s Nuannuan: Your cafeteria looks very familiar. Are you at
Nanshan University?
Chuyan: Yes. You too?
It’s Nuannuan: En……
Chuyan: ……
Xiang Nuan knew that Chuyan must be shocked. It was too much
of a coincidence that they were at the same university.
Chuyan: What’s your major?
Xiang Nuan: I’m at Yuanchi campus.
She wanted to heavily stress that she was at Yuanchi campus. Since
students from the two campuses seldom interacted, she wanted to
create the impression that she had nothing to do with that silly person
in the picture.
Aren’t I the smartest! She praised herself in her mind.
Chuyan: Hum, I’m at the main campus.
He didn’t continue the topic. He didn’t ask about her major again or
to meet her in person. He only commented that the Yuanchi campus
was like a farm in a countryside, so desolate.
Xiang Nuan chuckled and replied: It’s not that bad. We have a
commercial district over here already!
Xiang Nuan felt a bit odd that he didn’t ask more questions. After
thinking about it, she realized that this was how Chuyan usually behaved.
Though he was sometimes quite annoying, he was still well mannered
and knew his boundaries. Once he sensed that Xiang Nuan was avoiding
the topic, he naturally left it alone.
Xiang Nuan lightly exhaled and asked: Up for a round?
Chuyan: En.
They also got on voice chat.
Perhaps the new found knowledge that they were schoolmates made
them feel more at ease with each other, Chuyan bluntly told Xiang Nuan,
“Don’t steal my farm.”
“Hey, I only harvested one of your minions.”
To a certain extent, Kings of Glory was a strategy game. The basis of
hero’s strength was their level and gold they’d accrued throughout the
game. Higher level meant better stats and abilities and more money
meant better items.
The experience and gold is rewarded from killing minions and neutral
monsters in the jungle. There are only limited resources in the game.
The distribution of said resources amongst the team is always a difficult
problem in the King’s valley.
There are always b.l.o.o.d.y fights over these resources and inflighting
when resources are distributed unevenly.
However, there’s a common consensus among all the players that-- --
a Support shouldn’t get much farm, all the money and experience
should be saved for the marksman, mage, warrior, jungler and others
on the team.
In any case, the support is at the bottom of the food chain that has to
act like a great mother who leaves all the treats for her teammates
and protects them well.
So Xiang Nuan was driven away by Chuyan, “Go to the side, don’t
take my minions.”
“Then I’m going, I’m not going to play with you.”
“Don’t go too far, you still need to protect me.”
“You’re annoying.” Though she complained, she stayed close by.
Chuyan told her to stay inside the bush to keep an eye on things. It was
a prefect distance away from him; she wouldn’t be able to take his money
but could scout ahead for him.
The elegant Zhuang Zhou looked somewhat sleazy squatting inside the bushes.
