Those Sweet Times
Chapter 29 Part 2
It was the second time that Yao Jiamu had been rebuked by Lin Chuyan.
She wasn"t very happy about it but still had to show that she was magnanimous.
She smiled and said: “Sorry, I don"t mean that.”
Lin Chuyan only replied indifferently with an “En.”
Shen Zemu walked over to break the awkwardness by lightly tapping
Xiang Nuan"s shoulder: “Keep moving up the ranks.”
Xiang Nuan felt the touch on her shoulder and found it to be somewhat bashful.
She asked Shen Zemu: “Xuezhang, what"s the rank of your champion?”
“I"m the number one Han Xin in the province.”
Both Xiang Nuan"s eyes and mouth turned to circles. She looked at him like an
obsessed fan: “Wow-------”
Shen Zemu was amused by her reaction.
He usually kept a straight face like an enigmatic old man and the smile that was
now on his face was as stunning as the melting of snow.
Then he came into the office to fetch something. Xiang Nuan was like a little tail
that followed him around, with mouth open, hands rubbing against each other,
and shiny eyes. Even she didn"t know what exactly she was doing.
When Shen Zemu took out a file folder out of the cabinet, he turned to find
Xiang Nuan right behind him. He raised his eyebrows and asked: “You want me
to teach you?”
“I, may I?”
“Su-----”
“Xiang Nuan.” Lin Chuyan, who had been quiet the entire time but had been
watching them, suddenly called out to her.
Xiang Nuan turned to look at him: “What?”
Lin Chuyan looked at her with a smile: “What ringtone should I change to on my
phone?” He raised his cell phone and waved it. “Come over, help me out here.”
Xiang Nuan"s shoulders fell and gloomily walked over to sit next to him. She
whispered: “What"s the problem with you?”
Lin Chuyan slightly slanted his head and said next to her ear: “Well, can you
take care of my problem?”
He was very close to her and the heat from his mouth blew into her ear. Xiang Nuan
was a bit uneasy, rubbed her ear, and angrily said: “I"ll beat you to death sooner or later.”
Shen Zemu turned to take a glance at the two. Their heads were close to each other,
one with a faint smile while the other had a nasty look in her eyes. Shen Zemu lowered
his head to check his watch and asked them: “Hot pot place, are you two coming?”
“Sure, sure.”
Tonight"s gathering was at a buffet style hot pot place. Yao Jiamu wasn"t a member
of the Esports Club, but she was friends with Waiwai and Shen Zemu and would
usually show up at club events. Many people could tell what her aim was.
Since the four of them arrived at the hot pot place at the same time, they were seated
at the same table. To the left of Xiang Nuan was Lin Chuyan and to the right, Shen Zemu.
Xiang Nuan still couldn"t get over the fact that Shen Zemu was the “number one Han Xin
in the province” and tried to keep the conversation going with him. The subject was about
the ranking of champions.
Shen Zemu didn"t expect Xiang Nuan to have turned into an internet game addict.
Many girls played games for other purposes, yet this girl…...was quite genuine.
The discovery gave him a more favorable impression towards Xiang Nuan. He told her:
“Being first in a province isn"t that much. I know the number one Li Bai in the nation,
he"s my cousin.”
“Wow-----” Xiang Nuan widened her eyes and her mouth turned into a circle again. She
even used her hands to cup her face. But soon, she put down her hands and said: “No,
that"s not right. Our Hu Ge is the number one Li Bai in the nation.”
“What Hu Ge?”
“He"s a stream host on Peas TV. Hu Ge.”
“Then it"s the same person. My cousin is Chen Yinghu.”
Oh, my goodness!
It was the first time that Xiang Nuan felt the world was truly a small place. Her idol in
the virtual world and her G.o.d in the real world were relatives? What kind of genes did
Shen Zemu"s family carry, to produce an idol and a G.o.d?
Shen Zemu was quite surprised to see the fervor in her eyes. His cousin hadn"t
amounted to much and only played games all day. The family almost disowned him
because of it. He hadn"t even finished high school and was now a stream host on a
website. Such a rebellious teenager could have such a diehard fangirl?
He was a little baffled at what the world had turned into……
Xiang Nuan rubbed her hands against each other and asked with a flattering expression
on her face: “Xuezhang, do you have pictures of Hu Ge? He never shows his face while
streaming.”
“Sure.” Shen Zemu checked and found a picture taken during a Chinese New Year"s
family gathering. He enlarged the picture and pointed to a young man with yellow hair:
“That"s him.”
The yellow hair young man had darker skin, wore a green down jacket. He was skinny,
making the jacket seem too large for him. It was a teenager"s face, or at least he seemed
rather young. Xiang Nuan looked carefully at the picture on Shen Zemu"s phone, then
giggled: “Oh, my, he"s so cute! Hahaha……”
